Authors Note; So, here's a much longer chapter. Posting it on mah birthday. (: I'm officially 20. Reviews are like Vicodin are to House. Only they make me post quicker. c: I appreciate the alerts and reviews, keep them coming. This took me some time to write because at first I wasn't happy with it-It felt forced, but then I suddenly felt like everything was flowing again, so I'm going to start on the next part too. (: Enjoy! Also, who doesn't love The Monster Mash?
AN2; Sorry, I had a couple of typos that were bothering the hell out of me. Had to fix it.
Disclaimer; I didn't get them for my birthday today. D: /sadface
Ghosting Kisses
Thirteen stood awkwardly in the playroom, watching Cameron as she hummed quietly to herself and hung decorations. She wasn't all that sure what Cameron wanted her to do, though standing there watching her was fun and intriguing, she didn't want to seem like some creeper.
So, clearing her throat, Thirteen finally tore her gaze from Cameron and walked slowly up behind her. She could hear Cameron's humming more clearly now and smirked as she recognized the tune. "Really, The Monster Mash?" Thirteen teased, watching as Cameron practically jumped out of her skin, immediately blushing as she turned around to see Remy.
"I-It was on the radio, and I-..." She stopped stammering and noted the amused smile on her young colleague's face. "You know what, just shut up...It's Halloween." She grinned at her and stuck out her tongue, much to Thirteen's amusement.
So cute...Thirteen thought as she shook her head. "So, can I request a song?" She teased again. Cameron glared half-heartedly at her.
"No way!" Cameron blushed and looked away, while Thirteen chuckled quietly.
"Fine, you're no fun." Thirteen pouted and crossed her arms, watching as Cameron rolled her eyes good naturedly and grinned.
"Anyway..." Cameron said, changing the subject. "I was thinking that, the kids could make their own costumes, and there could be games set up and stuff and prizes." She turned to concentrate on standing on her tip-toes to try and hang an orange and black streamer but not quite reaching her intended placement.
Thirteen grinned as she watched her struggle, Allison Cameron was not only beautiful, but insanely adorable. Finally, Thirteen stepped closer, reaching up effortlessly, their hands brushing against each other as she gently took the streamer from Cameron's hand and hung it without even a struggle.
Cameron froze, suddenly aware of the close proximity of the younger doctor. She slowly let her heels touch the ground again as she turned to glance up at Thirteen, her cheeks reddening as her eyes followed Thirteen's arm. Their bodies were practically touching while Thirteen's arm was above Cameron's head. Their eyes met and Cameron was sure that the younger woman could hear her heart pounding against her rib cage. She felt hot and lightheaded, and as her eyes traced the brunette's face they stopped at her lips. They were so soft looking, luscious...I wonder what they taste like. Once that thought echoed through her head, she froze, having surprised herself.
Thirteen felt like they had been standing there - so close - almost touching, for hours, when in reality it was barely even a minute. As their eyes locked, Thirteen's heart felt like a bird trapped in a cage as it fluttered. She watched as Cameron's eyes went to her lips, and suddenly as if gravity was pulling her, she moved her face closer. Her hand slowly slid down the wall as their faces grew inches apart.
Cameron's head was spinning, this was not happening. She was not about to kiss her co-worker. She didn't like woman, she was straight. Straight as a line, and yet she wasn't moving away as Remy's face moved closer to hers. Cameron's eyes fluttered closed now as she felt Remy's warm breath caress her lips. There was a million things going on through her head and she couldn't seem to slow them down to even begin to understand what her thoughts were.
As Thirteen's lips ghosted over Cameron's, she was about to cup the blonde's face and finally crush their lips together - forgetting her rule to avoid Cameron and just take the risk - indulge in the sweet, beautiful mess that was Allison Cameron; Unfortunately, the door swung open behind them, hitting the wall as it did and causing a loud bang, thus breaking the two apart within seconds.
A frazzled looking nurse appeared and froze, her cheeks turning a bright red when she noticed the two doctors quickly pull apart. "Oh...Sorry..." She said before quickly making a U-turn and rushing out of the Playroom.
Both doctors avoided eye contact, silently cursing the young nurse who had interrupted them. Cameron tried to tell herself that the nurse saved them from an awkward moment, but she sorely missed Remy's body heat she had given off at such a close proximity.
Thirteen was thoroughly disappointed that she wasn't quick enough. She could have tasted Cameron's lips for at least a few seconds before the nurse came bustling through, but no...She had to be slow and make it a moment. She inwardly sighed, knowing that there was no other way to kiss Allison Cameron other than slow and sweet to savor the feeling, the taste - unless things were to have gotten heated, then the kiss would have grown into passion and hunger...Thirteen shook her head to rid the thought from her mind, that wouldn't have happened. Cameron would have pushed her away by then...Right? Maybe the nurse stopped her from more embarrassment.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them, both finding something interesting in different parts of the room. Thirteen was the one to break the silence. She cleared her throat and swallowed in an attempt to rid the dryness in her mouth. "Sooo..." She drew out the 'O' and glanced up at the blonde doctor for the first time after moving away from her. She took note of her flushed features and the biting of her lower lip - God, she'd love to nibble on that lower lip. STOP! Stop thinking things like that. This is what causes awkward moments like this...Thirteen thought.
"So...Uhm...Can you finish decorating here, while I go get some art supplies and find things that we could use as prizes?" Cameron asked, voice soft and hesitant as she tried to ignore all the butterflies in her stomach. She was still reeling from the fact that they had almost kissed.
Thirteen stood there silently, before nodding a little sadly. "Sure..." She mumbled, moving slowly toward the table filled with decorations as Cameron turned to leave, practically running for the exit. Once the door swung shut, indicating Cameron had gone, Thirteen sunk into one of the small chairs and immediately let her head hit the table. "So Stupid!" She grumbled to herself, wondering how things got to where they were now.
As Thirteen mentally berated herself, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head, secretly hoping it was Cameron returning to shove her against the wall in a passionate kiss, but when a voice that was not Cameron's asked, "What's stupid?" Thirteen knew it wasn't the blonde doctor.
