Major POV
Yesterday had not gone well. Major decided not to tell Peyton seeing as she'd find out anyways from Liv, and she would take her side. He thought he would feel better with his friends knowing but really he felt worse. He felt dirty. Instead of thinking about the past he decides to concentrate on the present and future.
"Rita? Are you here?"
"Kitchen." Comes a voice from the right.
"You look terrible." Rita says when she takes in the sight of Major.
"I told them."
"Oh..."
"It went well...ish...with Ravi but complete disaster with Liv. Which is understandable."
"I'm sorry." She replies.
"It's not your fault."
"But isn't it? I am the daughter of Vaughn, I am the one who seduced you, I..." She goes on.
Major reaches out and gently caresses her cheek, she leans in the slightest bit. Her eyes reach his and Major sees the vulnerability in them.
"It isn't your fault. I need you to know that." He says firmly and she just nods.
Without thinking of the possible consequences Major leans in and brushes his lips over hers. Their kiss is gentle and short but full of promises as he rubs his hand over the bump.
