Chapter IV
Been about You...
Looking to the screen of her cell phone as it vibrated in her hand, Tier tap the touch screen device forwarding the private number to her voicemail. With a sigh of relief, she looked to the foggy mirror, wiping it clear to stare at herself. What are you doing? The thought caused her to shake her head, droplets of water falling everywhere. The internal question prompted more, making her emotions flare from looking at her toothbrush next to his. Even her soap seated next to his. Slowly she was getting too close to comfort. Drying herself, she lathered her skin in cherry blossom lotion, dressing in lacy under garments, a pair of v-cut black shorts that laced on the side and a form fitting plain black t-shirt revealing her stomach. She dropped some of her perfumed oil in her palm, rubbing her hands together to allot over her neck, arms and stomach.
Switching the bathroom light off when she was dressed, she walked down the hall. The bedroom door widen open where she saw Ichigo sitting against his headboard dressed in nothing but black briefs and all his masculinity. So damn sexy without even trying. Ichigo was more than a great catch. He was the magical being that people made rumors of seeing. Hell, He is the fairytale prince.
Tossing her towel on the hook next to his closet and cellphone on the night stand, she crawled over him in to the middle of his king size bed, moving back to the side of him where she cuddled against his chest. With a light laugh, Ichigo moved to lay slightly on his side for her to be under him, staring down at her.
Tier looking up to him, letting him caress the side of her face like he usually do. Relishing in the moment for now, Tier shut her eyes, snuggling into him.
"I've never saw you like this before." he spoke into her forehead.
"Like how?"
"Holding me like you never want to let me go."
Maybe it was exactly that. Maybe she didn't want to forget this moment. Last night was amazing and being that he had her for breakfast, it was beyond tremendous. On the contrary, she never saw Ichigo like this. So in tuned with his feelings whenever they shared a passionate moment together. She caught game on his love, and he started to get a inkling on hers. Their attachment too strong to not be obvious. "I can't help myself when I'm around you."
His eyebrow raising in question. "Is that so?"
"Yes." She conceded. "Is that so unbelievable?"
Lying on his back, looking to the ceiling while he still wrapped a arm around her shoulders. "Kind of."
Tier was out of his league and still he couldn't believe she was the one cuddled next to him, her legs wrapped around his one leg, pillow talking with him.
"So." A curious expression on her face. "tell me, have you been serious with anyone else?"
Exhaling rather loudly, frustration on his tongue. "No…why do you keep asking me that?"
"Just find it strange a man of your caliber hasn't been in a serious relationship with anyone."
"I didn't have the time."
"Bullshit!" she exclaimed with a light sniker. Moving her body to lay on her back staring at the ceiling.
"Tch, believe what you want."
"So explain those random text messages…"
"Just what they are…random." Moving back on to his side, staring down at her now that he rested his face against his palm. "What about you."
"What about me?"
"Your phone hasn't stop ringing since you been with me."
"Buisness…that's all."
"if it's Buisness why don't you answer it?"
Closing her eyes now, "I'll answer it on Buisness time. Other than that, I don't hear it. Neither should you."
"Busy lady."
Sighing loudly herself, Tier threw her leg over his waist straddling and surprising Ichigo. "I have been on dates with other guys. But that's just it, dates."
Looking up to her, he laid there, arms splayed out to the sides of him. Laughing as if it surprised him that she was still seeing other people, causing for Tier eyebrow to raise in suspicion. "You're beautiful. You are single, so I don't see why not. I have been on dates too but in all seriousness, it's just time to pass until I see you again." He confessed. The last part slipping out of him unintentionally.
The balcony was open, causing for a strong but gentle breeze to sweep over her hot frame. Until he see me again… repeated in her mind.
"Er…I mean until we mee-"
Placing one of her soft fingers on his lips to stop him from ruining the moment for her, Tier moved to lay down on his chest. "Shut up." She softly spoke, smiling to herself. "leave it like this."
Ichigo reluctant to do so, held her close to him instead. There was something he wanted to ask her. Well more about something he wanted to tell her. It was evident now that he wanted her around. Ichigo grew attached to the woman. His only hope was that she felt the same about him. He moved his hand to touch her face. That seemed to be his favorite part to feel on her. Her angular face felt like it belonged in his hand. His thumb always found its way to the corner of her lips. She is real right? He could feel her weight on top of him but he had to always make sure it was her. And not her looking up to him to be someone totally different.
"I don't want to lose this feeling." She spoke, listening to his heart.
Ichigo, staying quiet, felt the corner of her lips curl on the tip of his thumb. If only she knew he didn't want it to go away neither. Unfortunately the day called for them.
With the door buzz going off, they both exhaled loudly looking to one another. She moved to the side as he swung his long legs to stand, playfully she tapped his right cheek while he started putting on a pair of light jeans, he looked back to her sitting on her haunches. Almost as if his body moved on its own, he leant down, grabbing her face, kissing her as if it would be their last.
Tier sheepishly smiling called after him when he rushed off to the door, placing his plain white shirt on. "You're only answering the door."
"A lot could happen!" He shouted back, bringing back the memory of her ghosting him. Ichigo disappeared behind the corner and Tier waited to hear the door opening and closing. A giggle escaping her as she rested against his headboard, grabbing his pillow snuggling with it. What are you doing HALIBEL!? She didn't know. Nor did she want to figure it out. Relishing in the moment was all that mattered.
Her phone started buzzing again. Frozen in her position she looked to the device, Private Number across the call screen. Her sudden happiness she felt, disappearing with every vibration her cell phone doled. She thought about throwing it but knew it would cause more problems for her.
Tier huffed, moving her toned legs to standing now, she walked to the balcony door, the cement hot but comfortable against her bare manicured feet. She leant against the black rail, the breeze still calming as the sun tried it's hardest to fight through the cotton clouds. It was hot but the breeze made it bearable.
Peace of mind, that was all she wanted. She was at a calm in this moment. However she knew it would be short lived. Had she met him sooner, she would have loved him better, probably give him something that he haven't experienced, but that could go the other way as well. Should nature take its course between them, she would probably give in to the urge. Still she had other things to think about.
"Tier?" she heard him call after hearing the door open. Of course she desperately needed Ichigo to bring that feeling back to her to continue on as if a dark cloud wasn't over her head. She heard his footsteps leading to the bedroom doorway where they halted. Watching her behind the sheer curtain blowing to the wind, he called after her again. "you ready?"
"Yeah. Give me a moment." She sighed.
Treading to the balcony doorway, he walked out grabbing the rail on the sides of her elbow, leaning on the back of her, talking into the side of her face. "We could stay here if you don't feel like heading out."
Playfully, she pushed her plump bottom into him, feeling a part of him spring to life. "You know what would happen if we do."
Ichigo dropping his face into her neck, a modest snicker. "Please don't do this right now." He pleaded, planting a kiss on her neck.
"Can't get enough of me?" she turned her head, placing a finger on his chin to guide his lips to hers. Tier connected their lips while she pushed into him again causing him to push back.
Ichigo huffed in their kiss, abruptly stopping when he felt himself calling off today plans and just spending the day home. "We gotta go!" quickly he unhinged the rail, turning back into his bedroom, fixing himself in his jeans muttering to himself to calm down.
Walking in behind him, she laughed, feeling the mood coming back to her as she reached for her wedged heels. Hopefully it'll last.
°•○●○•°
The annual fireworks Kukaku put together seemed to get better each year. This time proved to be extraordinary. Ichigo actually stayed for the whole show. He looked to the side of him, seeing the different color sparkles glitter across her jade orbs as if it was the first time she experienced anything like it. He watched her point in amazement being the center of her girlfriends when seeing star shaped to planets. As sexy as she dressed her face expressed a innocence that made her adorable.
A deep raspy voice interrupted his thoughts. "So…is this the one that's keeping you busy now that the clinic is renovating?"
"Here he go." Karin and Yuzu spoke in unison.
Turning to look into the probing eyes of his father, Ichigo sighed within himself. "What do you mean by busy?"
"Ohhohoho. You know exactly what I mean by busy. My future daughter-in-law is gorgeous, and there's only one thing keeping my son away from me!" Isshin spoke poking his son, prompting a strong punch from Ichigo.
"Mind your damn business old man!" Ichigo scolded. Only for Isshin to congratulate him with a thumbs up holding his face. "tch, pull yourself together. She's coming over."
With eyes glistening almost to tears that his son would do such a thing, Isshin wiped his nose, standing straight next to Ichigo as if he didn't catch a haymaker to the grill. Whispering to Ichigo out the side of his mouth. "You make me proud my son!"
"Whatever…" Although the old goat can be annoying, nonetheless Ichigo love his father dearly. Even if on occasion he always kept his son up on his reflexes.
"I've never been to fireworks before!" so fascinated by the show, Tier couldn't help the smile cross her face. Tier walked back to Ichigo side, smiling to his father and younger sisters.
"Enjoying yourself?" Ichigo spoke, folding his arms over his chest.
"Of course. I'm with you."
Thankful that a red firework exploded, they didn't notice how red crept over his nose. Isshin on the other hand laughed, causing for a elbow to the stomach from Ichigo.
Clearing his throat Ichigo grabbed her attention once more as he wrapped a arm around her waist. "Dad, this is Tier, Tier this is my Isshin…I mean my dad."
The old goat needing no more introductions, grabbed Tiers hand. "Oh no that won't do, call me dad future daughter-in-law!"
She smiled, looking to Ichigo who started massaging his temples, back to Isshin who, aside from the fireworks, had sparkles in his eyes. "Now I see where Ichigo get his good looks from. You and your wife did a amazing job."
That was the wrong thing to say. Isshin couldn't contain himself or find any words to say at the moment but she did feel his grip tighten around her hands. "G-G-G…God has brought you into my sons life for one reason and one reason only. Ichigo, you must marry this woman….yesterday." his face serious. "Tier…you must seal this bond, my legacy depends on it."
Tier confused, stared into the older man, "I believe that's too soon."
"Nonsense!" Isshin retorted, flying off like a ballerina.
"These two are my twin sisters. Karin and Yuzu." Ichigo continued, ignoring his a nod and another smile, Tier complimented. "I hope to have beautiful twin daughters like you two."
Yuzu and surprisingly Karin blush to the compliment. Isshin in pure bliss that Ichigo found the perfect woman ran off, shaking everyone hands claiming that his son is getting married.
"You're doing this on purpose." Ichigo spoke, a serious tone in his voice when he looked back to Tier.
Laughing, she shook her head disagreeing. "Your sisters really are beautiful, I do want twins, and you do look exactly like your dad aside from your hair." She tugged gently on his shoulder length orange locks. "But your smile…you look exactly like your mother from the pictures you showed me."
He sighed, watching his sisters take off to grab their father. "Thanks I guess."
"You're welcome." She spoke turning back to the fireworks. He's really a great guy, a lovely family as well so she knew he didn't come from a broken home, but she was far from great. She was a monster.
Tier smile, fading with the thought. It's coming back again.
°•○●○•°
"So that's it?" Grimmjow spoke looking through the basket for something else to eat Appaci agreeing with him as she looked through it too.
"Considering the fact that you didn't contribute to anything….yeah, that's it!" Renji exclaimed.
"My friendship," Grimmjow spoke sarcastically.
"Doesn't mean jack shi-" Ichigo tried to chime in but Tier cut him off, covering his mouth. Her eyes cutting to Ichigo as he remembered his foul language and his attitude when it came to Grimmjow was a challenge to hold together. Nonetheless Tier knew that her best friend can be intolerable, still she claimed him as her younger brother.
"Take a walk with me." She demanded Ichigo more than asking. Catching the group off guard, she raised from her seat to walk, extending her hand out for his.
"Y-yeah…" Ichigo hesitated at first, taking her hand and walking off to the beach part.
Ichigo still in ear shot of Renji making a 'whip' sound and Grimmjow making kiss noises made him stick his middle finger up.
Turning his attention back to Tier with one arm wrapped around her shoulder, Ichigo never want to let her go. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally. She wrapped around his waist as the summer night swept over them. Once again finding themselves away from the group walking along the water on beach. It was hot tonight. Hotter than any other night that passed. Or was it just them?
Was this too fast? Ichigo stared at her, her bare feet kicking the soothing cool waves that crashed against her ankles.
"If I were to jump in the water, would you come with me?" she asked unwrapping her arm from around him, walking further into the water
"No." he gently spoke.
Tier turned to look at him. His calm face relaxing her when the moonlight made his eyes glow. Truly amazing.
He had something heavy on his mind and she could tell. A question that he wanted to ask but fear assimilated his thoughts. Ichigo wasn't adept to romantic feelings, but he felt it for her. Day by day, night by night, second by second, it was something amazing about her and he didn't want it to go away or for her to reject his feelings.
She tilted her head trying to read him, but instead of reading him, and Ichigo taking notice, he just blurted it out before she could ask him anything. "Be with me?"
Tier breathing kept as her heartbeat felt like it was in her ears. Did he say what I think he said? She studied him. He stared at the ground fearful of what his question evince on her face. One of his hands stuffed in his pocket and the other tapping on his leg nervously.
Was he anxious?
All this time together it was only natural that one or the other wanted to take things further. Tier still watching him, a smirk pulling on his face while he looked to the sand becoming impatient. "I'm starting to regret saying it."
Speaking, she turned back to the open ocean, flexing her toes underneath the chill water that seemed to do its part in cooling her off. "What would make you say such a thing?"
Again with the question answering his question. Looking to the back of her. "Is it not obvious to you?"
"It is. But are you sure you know what you're feeling? That this isn't just fun for you? Or me?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Between you and I, are we not okay with the way things are now?"
He looked back to the sand. The guilt heavy on him. Why did he have to feel things on a deeper level?
"You're not wrong for feeling the way you do Kurosaki. But am I the woman for you?"
Was she? Tier was a anomaly that manifested in his world out of thin air. Something about her from the first time he saw her dancing about in that night club free as a bird, drew him to her. He couldn't grasp what it is, but he wanted to trek down the road anyway. Though she was only a year older, she was wise beyond her years teaching him new tricks to go about dealing with everyday life. He even started meditating with her. The simple things he enjoyed at home by himself started to fade when she came around more often than he would allow anyone else. The man took pride in being a hermit, and only coming out when the situation 'seemed' better than his loneliness. Of course that being the case until he set eyes and other things on her.
Was he depending on her?
Nah! Can't be.
But he was. Maybe he ignored that part of him to justify why he was such a crab?
Well I am a cancer! He thought to himself, thankful that she had her back to him. She would definitely have a ball calling him out on the unknown tug of war between his mind and heart. Logic? or emotion? Which was it? The question brought thousands more. He just wanted a answer, not this turmoil encircling him. Then he saw it, right through to her. His eyes narrowed to the theory. Maybe she was hurt before? That explains why she would never answer him directly.
Maybe she had trust issues? Or the feelings weren't mutual?
How could someone toy like that for this long and not feel anything at all?
Ichigo wanted to touch her but his body couldn't move. He stood frozen in the sand, a few feet away from her. Just the thought of being exclusively together did change the air around them. They were comfortable with just 'talking' but he wanted to further their relationship.
"Are you going to answer me?" she looked in back of her. Watching the morose in his eyes disappear.
"That's my line."
Turning fully, she asked again. "Am I the woman for you?"
"Who knows…" Granting her a gentle smile.
Tier wanted to hug the man but knew he would refuse it. His ego would get the better of him and this would be that time he would display it. So she gave him that respect. Instead of showing pity, she asked him yet again. "just answer me already, am I?"
"Shut up." Her pupils dilated as she gaped at the man. Staring at her he spoke walking towards her. "Why the hell would you even ask such a question? That's dumb. If I knew that you were wrong for me, do you think I would still acknowledge you? Pfft get real!" He stopped before her, staring down at the woman as she processed his words. "If you feel that it's good, or you know that it's good…then why not go for it!? Why not give it a chance!?"
Golden tresses veiled her face, what she felt was undisclosed to him. Tier was stuck. She wanted him, oh there was no denying that. But in the back of her mind there was always a 'what if'. What if she setting herself up for heartbreak? What if it was a waste of time? What if he was just like him? And then she remembered her situation now. Guilt ridden.
Ichigo tilted her chin though her face vacant of any emotion, he chuckled. "You can cut the tough girl act Tier….I know you more than you think I do." Slowly she bit her lip, behind the action she let out a small laugh. Both of them coming to a ease after the tension subsided. "so will you be mine?" he asked her gently, his eyes imploring for her to say yes.
Nervously Tier looked away from him. Confused and twiddling her fingers. Why? Why? Why!? What am I doing? Why am I doing this?
Tier thoughts dispersed when Ichigo grabbed her face, assuaging her being. "Relax" he laughed. "I didn't ask you to marry me...I mean, for now at least one step at a time."
A genuine smile crept across her face. "Ichigo, I don't know..."
Ichigo knew she was a independent woman who had no need for him. So he knew she was perfectly fine by herself. He still couldn't help the fact that she was fighting something. He knew she had to have been hurt from the way she reacted, but whoever it was that did hurt her, he had more kisses for her to heal to.
"SO DID SHE SAY YES!?" Grimmjow shouted from where the group sat, all eyes facing the two of them.
"FUCK OFF!" Ichigo bellowed back. As the woman he now held in his arms laughed.
What a crazy game this was indeed.
°•○●○•°
One would think after comimg to terms of what they wanted and going after it, that they would feel a relief. Ichigo felt the total opposite. The drive was silent. Something was off with her. Her body language, her attitude, her speech was different. She wasn't the Tier that he knew her to be at this moment. Ichigo could feel the energy crawling off of her. Tonight was suppose to be special. He cooked for her specifically being that she couldn't muster up the courage to deny Orihime generous snacks, and being something he never done for another woman before, but surprisingly came out pretty good. They watched the fireworks where she took a positive note to, they sat at the beach laughing and joking with friends. Everything was good. At least that's what he thought
Attempting to grab her hand, Ichigo first stole a look to see her lounging against the passenger door, staring into the pink blue sky while the street lights flickered on. The highway was empty but there was no need to speed. Tier, oblivious of the wary man driving and stealing glimpse of her, contemplating on grabbing her hand to reassure her that he was still there. But she wouldn't look his way.
What the hell is wrong with her?
She wasn't this quiet on their way to the beach. In fact, she was talking more than usual which surprised the ginger. It was another side he had yet to see about the woman.
"Did you enjoy yourself today?" he asked, stealing another view of her then back to the road ahead.
"Mmhm." She hummed, attempting to put his mind at ease with a weak smile, but Ichigo saw right through it. Something was troubling her. He couldn't for the life of him recall when she started acting this way but his mind went into overdrive.
"Yeah, so did I…" Trailing off to a thought. It fell silent again, the smooth music that played softly throughout his car couldn't break the feeling of worry. He reached, taking her hand that rested on her thigh, into his. He brought her hand to his lips, kissing the back of it. "You can talk to me. Whatever is troubling you, I'll be the listening ear.."
Tier looking to him now, gently nodded her head. She looked to the road, back to him, then out the window. She wasn't nervous nor anxious. Just confused. He had all the qualities of being a great man and yet he never asked her nor pushed her to ever making a decision to be with him. He was perfectly fine with her vague answer.
Though she didn't make no mistake to even think that they were together, he still went on dates with other women and so did she with other men. But they were always one call away from each other. So what exactly was she to make out of all this?
One rule: never ask the infamous question "what are we?" Whoever asked first automatically lost. Rule two: never get caught in your feelings unless it proved beneficial. Yet why was she contemplating this if that was the case?
She scoffed within herself. Emotions only made normal people die slowly while still living in a world of constant reminders on what broke a heart in the first place. A walking contradiction Tier was and still she enjoyed it. The fright, the possibility, the unknown
It's to bad that Ichigo had to be the fix she wanted.
"Tier?" he called, gently squeezing her hand for her to come back to him when she spaced out.
Slowly she turned to look at his face, he permitted her a smile. Gracing him with a smile of her own, she moved his hand that intertwined with hers to her lips kissing his palm as she rested the side of her face into it.
The gesture caught Ichigo off guard from how she was untouchable a few seconds ago to now showing some kind of affection. "Talk to me…" he spoke gently, caressing her cheek with his thumb.
Instead, she unbuckled her seatbelt, cuddling into the side of him despite the arm rest hendering her body into him fully.
"T-Tier!? That's dangerous!"
She didn't say anything, and only cuddled into him more than she could. Overwhelmed with guilt, only thing she could think about doing was holding him. He couldn't understand what the language her heart was speaking, so she did what was only logical to her.
Ichigo felt her grasp tighten on his shirt making him question further until he came to terms that this was what she needed for now. A gentle smile pulled on his lips, while wrapping his free arm over her shoulders grabbing her closer and tighter. At least he could be her seat belt.
°•○●○•°
The drive proved to be worth the detours when they made it back to his apartment. Tier secured in his arm fell asleep in the same position against him. Lightly he shook her but it didn't work. Rousing her of her peaceful slumber, he whispered in her ear "Wake up."
Stretching herself awake, she reclined back in to her side, her eyes adjusting to the bright garage lights as well as another car leaving out. "That was a long drive for the beach only being twenty minutes away."
"Hmph." He snorted. "You fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you. So I drove around for a little bit."
With rosy cheeks, she looked to the floor of the car. "My apologies."
"No need to." He spoke stepping out the car then walking swiftly to her side, ushering her hand into his when he opened the car door to help her out.
She fixed her shorts, before stepping out. Her wedged heels brought her close enough to almost touch his lips. Before stepping to the side shutting the car door, she wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him close to her. Giving into a strong urge, she kissed him. A delicious apology as it seemed for her. Tier was going to make it up to him the best way she knew how to. She didn't intend to drag him into her web, but it was impossible not to.
Ichigo grabbing her close by her waist, kissing her deeper than she imagined. Their lips danced slowly. Syncing to one another on a spiritual level more than physical. She stopped the kiss, smiling against his lips. "Continue upstairs?"
"Am I back on your good graces?" he jest.
It was evident that he wasn't the bad guy, in which she couldn't answer him truthfully even if it was a joke. She had to tell him soon. Either way, she knew it would change the dynamic of whatever they had going on. So she kissed him again as her answer.
He closed the car door, clicking the button to lock and set the alarm. She led him by the hand to the elevator and being that it was already on their floor, soon as she pressed the button of the lift the doors opened. When they both walked in, she wrapped his arms around her waist, making him hug her from behind.
Milking the situation out if everything she could get Tier knew she is going to miss this.
Resting the back of her head on his shoulder, ichigo leant back in the elevator trying his best to figure what has got into the woman who was so daring in her ventures to him. Not caring who see, or giving a damn who had something to say. Now it's totally different. She still didn't care about the people outside looking in, but her attitude was rather strange to him now.
Ichigo brought his face down to her neck, taking in the sweet cherry blossom perfume. She closed her eyes to the feeling of his arms wrapped around her like a vault door, securing her close to his warmth. The feeling of protection she felt was a rather nice feeling to the beauty. A unfamiliar and special one.
The number of the floors that the elevator skipped over rising slowly but closely to their destination. Wishing that it go on forever, Tier didn't want the feeling to stop, still, she turned to face him instead. "Ready?"
Standing straight, looking down to her now, still puzzled by her strange act. "I guess so."
To Tier, the walk felt like forever. She was dreading the familiarity she had to the hall way, to this whole damn building. To Ichigo something was amiss. One: She was still holding his hand. Something she had never done before. Two: he would be utterly disappointed if she were to let go. Maybe this was a step to something rather than the two pretending to play "house".
While walking in, she already kicked off her heels dropping her height significantly. Before Ichigo could say anything, or turn to walk into the foyer after locking the door, she already shut him up by unbuckling his pants when she dropped to her knees. "W-what are you doing!?" he shouted, his back bumping into the door, amazed at how fast his belt and zipper came undone, but still surprised she would do that before they even settled in.
"I was going to suck your di-"
"Ghah!" he stopped her before she could finish. "you don't have to be so….vulgar about it."
She stood up slowly, taking off her shirt that wrapped tightly around her body and shorts. Showing that she wearing a black lace bra and thong. Jade eyes yet again pleading for him. "Let me make it up to you tonight."
Ichigo snapping out of the amazement quickly recovered, "What's the occasion?"
"Well, you cooked for me when you didn't need to. I want to show you my appreciation."
He smirked, "It's fine. Really, there's no need for that."
Tier stepped closer to him. If only he knew. "For tonight…" she spoke, kissing him on his neck when he couldn't move. "I want…to make love…to you."
Ichigo grabbed her shoulders, staring at her. Something was truly bothering her for her to be this assertive. He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't grasp it.
She shook out of his grasp, taking his hand. "Come. You don't have to put any work in. Tonight is about you…always been about you." Without protest, Ichigo followed. He didn't know what to make of the last sentence she spoke. Only thing he could construe was how she pushed him on to the bed. Climbing on top of him. She tangled her hands with his, rising them above his head, kissing him with a fiery passion that set off all of his nerves. Slowly she left his hands where they were, moving to raise his shirt kissing from the side of his lios, chin and in between his pecs, down his deep abs, further down to where his manhood was almost exposed.
Ichigo watched as she kissed all over his being to the bulge of his briefs. She teased him for a bit, watching him flex to her touch until he threw his head back on the bed, moaning as her warm mouth descended on to him.
Tonight was all about him after all.
°•○●○•°
Sitting at the foot of the bed fully clothed, Tier looked behind her to see him sound asleep on his side. His arms still stretched out from when she moved out of his embrace when they were first asleep. Her eyes softened to the sight of her lover as guilt once again over came her like a warm comforter on a cold night.
It took about a hour until she knew that he was in a deep kip. Again dreading the fact that she would have to leave him like this. She catered to his every desire just to knock him out cold, pulling out new moves and tricks to leave him with a infinite impression of her, even if it wasn't her intentions.
She turned back to face the hall way before her, fixing herself in her shorts and shirt, careful not to put on her heels until she was out of sight.
The white paper in her hand wiggled from the gentle breeze that came in through the balcony door. The words 'I'm sorry' written in cursive.
Stepping lightly, she walked to his nightstand placing his phone over the note so it couldn't fly off somewhere. Sparing herself another moment to stare at the back of him before disappearing out of his life.
This time. Forever.
°•○●○•°
It was happening again. Sitting against the headboard of his bed, he stared at the note, cellphone to his ear hearing her voice to the answering machine when he tried to reach her. The hell was she sorry for?
He didn't have the slightest clue. It wasn't as if she was giving off any hints. Maybe she needed some time to herself? Maybe she had something to do? This was Tier though. Of course she had her weird tendencies and this came with it. Stupid as it seem Ichigo accepted it for what it was.
He wasn't one to force her to speak about her trouble. If she wanted him to know, she would've spoke to him about it. Ichigo knew that Tier didn't fully trust him. The thought brought him back a few paces mentally. Never being the one to fully trust someone himself, he figure she was different amongst others that came and went out his life. Guessing she was just the same only led to more assumptions. There was nothing he could do about it now however. She left, and wasn't accepting his call, only leaving him to guess what she was sorry about.
Whatever it was, he hoped that she came around to tell him about it sooner rather than later. For now, he kept his mind open even if it already started to get crowded with memories.
