Felicia slammed her apartment door hard on it's hinges with her back against it as Raphael pressed his body tightly to her. He reached behind her blindly, moving them away from the door frame and slamming it shut. Their lips were hard on the other as their tongues twisted in a wild mess between them. She reached behind him, slipping his leather jacket from his shoulders and clenching the fabric of the thin gray t-shirt that clung to his body in her hands.
Raphael started undoing the button of her pants, slipping his fingers into the sides and letting them slowly glide down the softness of her thigh. Felicia's body broke out in goose bumps to the feeling of his rough fingers against her skin. His thumbs playing with the lace of her panties as his large hands covered the majority of her hips, reaching around to the curve of her backside. She stepped out of her pants, pressing her body against his to move with him towards her bedroom. She tugged his shirt up and over his head then doing the same to her own, their lips breaking apart before they both took a breath and crashed back together. He grabbed the back of her thighs hoisting her up against his body feeling his hard, bare stomach again hers.
He had taken a shot of the serum a couple hours earlier before he and Felicia left Willow's apartment. Watching her talk to Izzy the way she did and stand up for his family was amazing. He'd never known any woman he had feelings for to react in that way. She was fierce and loyal and looked as if she was ready to fight for his brother's respect at any moment. It was completely new and he was completely turned on.
Felicia was taken aback when he pressed her body against the elevator wall as it climbed up to her floor. She could feel his gaze on her the whole time they walked from Willow's and even more so in the small space of the elevator. They walked in silence the whole way and she thought it was because he was mad at her, come to find out she was wrong. Very wrong.
She could hear his breathing and felt like she was about to explode from the electric, sexual energy he was basically throwing in her direction. She met his eyes for the hundredth time and finally asked him 'what', and he leaned over to her taking her small hands in his pinning them against the dingy metal wall of the elevator above her head. That's when the kissing began.
"You were so amazing tonight." Raph groaned into her neck as he walked them both into Felicia's bedroom. She bite back a groan as the light scruff from his five o'clock shadow rubbed against her neck. Raph tossed Felicia down easily against her mattress and she bounced on it with soft giggle.
"You're strong..." Felicia breathed as she looked up into Raphael's dark eyes. He smiled at her almost evilly, leaning down over her body. She squirmed away from his gaze, moving to the other end of the mattress. He watched her creamy legs against the dark green of her comforter and smirked, loving he way it looked against the tone of her skin. She was so beautiful. Her hair was a dark disheveled mess on her head and she adjusted her glasses that were once crooked against the bridge of her nose. He grabbed her foot and pulled her back to him in one motion. She squealed and he laughed pressing his body down over hers.
His lips crashed down on hers and her hands went to the back of his head and down the center of his strong back feeling the muscles flex and contort under her palms. She raked her nails down his sides and he groaned to the new feeling, bucking against her hips as she arched her back to the hardness between her legs.
She's wanted this for months now. Since they were in his bedroom that night watching a movie. She could have easily taken him then but, she was too nervous. It was too new. This, this was familiar. She knew it from the various nights of soft-core foreplay they had and quickly needed to stop, leading to her dreams that haunted her nearly every night. She'd wake up with a soft gasp and he'd usually ask her if she was OK. She'd just nod her head with a yawn and sum it up to being one of those dreams when you're falling off a cliff. It was similar, except that the cliff she was tumbling over was her reaching a climax that never came.
This was real and wonderful. She could feel his hands on her and the softness of his tongue dancing with hers in the space where their mouths came together. They've known each other longer now, she knew how to kiss him what he liked and he knew exactly what she liked. He knew her body explicitly and it was incredible how well he knew how to play it. She couldn't take it any longer.
"I-I don't..." Pausing, trying to catch her breath. "...want to take things slow anymore." Felicia finally breathed between kisses as Raphael pulled back to look at her.
"Give me a minuet." He said, pushing himself off her and the bed, going into her bathroom. Felicia looked at the door that shut behind him and frowned at it. Maybe she should have said it when he wasn't human? Could she have hurt his feelings? She sighed, adjusting herself on the mattress and her bra over her chest.
"Wh-what um... Are you ok?" She called out and he chuckled.
"I'm fine. I'm just... Waitin'."
"Waiting? For what a bus?" Felicia called back with a snarky tone as Raphael snorted behind the door.
"No ass. For the serum to wear off." Felicia's mouth formed an 'O' shape as she finally realized what he was doing. She was going to have sex with Raphael. Raphael. Her heart started to pound in her chest and her hands started to sweat. This was really happening. She knew it eventually would and was excited it was but, still the idea of it was... New. She never experienced anything like this before. He was a turtle, she's human. Was the schematics of it still similar? She wasn't sure, but it didn't really matter to her. Willow had always told her Leo was the best lover she ever had and what Raphael had shown her already was amazing and if that was just the tip of the iceberg she was in for a long night. She started to get herself over excited thinking of it. Her body heated and her chewed on her bottle lip, bouncing on her knees on the bed as she waited.
Raphael took off his cloths slowly folding them neatly against Felicia's bathroom vanity. He looked into the mirror at his human face and sighed, rubbing it hard with his hands. He couldn't take it anymore and he knew she couldn't either. They were both going to explode if they didn't go through with it soon. His nights have been a haunted mess. Her naked body above his, her head thrown back in a moan and he'd feel his body tense for climax that never came. He'd wake up to her laying beside him fast asleep, usually with the blanket thrown off her body showing her backside in whatever pair of panties she deiced to torture him with that night.
"C'mon, c'mon..." He growled, tapping his fingers against the faux marble counter top watching the seconds of the clock above Felicia's light switch tick by. "Finally..." He breathed feeling the familiar tug on his back at the serum beginning to wear off.
Felicia was on her hands and knees on the bed, leaning as far forward as she could to see her bathroom door. She heard his groan from inside and knew the serum was finally wearing off. She wanted to hurry and run to see if he was OK, but she knew he was. She was more anxious to see him, his normal face and body again. It felt like ages even though it was just this morning.
He entered her bedroom and they looked at one another with meek smiles.
"Hey..." He said, clearing his voice a little as she leaned up on her knees and waved. He laughed lightly before sitting next to her on the mattress. "Ya know, if you're not ready for this..." His words were cut off by Felicia wrapping her arms around his strong green shoulders and pressing her mouth tightly to his. He smirked against her lips, pushing her back against the bed.
"I don't think I could be more ready." She breathed as he nodded his head. He placed his hand at the nape of her neck bringing her against the mattress slowly. "Raph, I'm not a China Doll..." She huffed.
"I'm tryin', ya know to make this... Special. So, shut up." He said as she chuckled, leaning up to to kiss him.
"Thank you." She breathed, moving her lips to his cheek then down his neck. His hands clenched the fabric of her comforter as he pushed her back towards the middle of the bed more. She followed willingly, leaving her lips attached to his skin.
His hands moved above her head, letting his heavy body hover over her. Her breathing was rapid and he could see the blush tone of her chest in the light they had left on seeping in from the kitchen. Her eyes were glued to his like she didn't want to miss a moment of this.
"You're sure?" He asked, almost with a grimace as she nodded.
"Raph, I couldn't be more sure. I want this. I want you." She said and his mouth crashed down on hers.
"Say it again." He breathed, moving away from her mouth and down her slender neck.
"I want you Raph, so badly." She groaned, bucking her panty covered sex against his lower plastron. He smirked to the feeling and placed his hand against her hip. He ripped the fabric easily from her body and she moaned to the action.
"Again." He nearly growled and she could feel her legs started to rub together to get some kind of friction down there.
"Raph," She breathed heavily. "I want you. Please, make love to me." She looked back into his eyes and he smirked.
"Take this off." He said snapping the shoulder band of her bra. She giggled at the action and leaned up, unhooking her bra. "I've dreamt about this." He muttered almost to himself as he looked down at her perfect bare chest. He cupped one in his calloused hand running his thumb over her already pink, puckered nipple. She arched to the motion, humming out a noise of approval as he let out a soft chuckle. "Beautiful." He said, meeting her eyes as she took his hand, placing it over her other breast. He leaned forward, pressing his mouth against the top of her breast and dragging his tongue down and between them to the other. She watched with a smirk before he finally pressed his lips back to hers. He pushed her back down against the mattress.
"Please." She begged, opening her legs so he could fit in between them. He placed his hand at the back of her thigh feeling the soft skin there and lifting it higher, under his arm.
"I wanna do somethin' first." He said with a devilish grin. He slid down onto his knees beside the bed, taking her ankles in his hands and sliding her body closer to him.
"What?" She asked, looking down her body at him before her head was thrown back against the mattress in a moan. "O-oh..." She said, gulping for air. Her body arched and her hands went out to the sides, gripping at whatever fabric she could clench. "Holy shit..." She breathed, biting down on her lip as she felt his chuckle radiate against her sex.
The feeling of something vibrating against Donatello's leg was beginning to make the nerdy brother very irritated. He'd already told Leo he didn't want to do practice this morning because of his date with Betty last night.
Then he remembered...
Shooting up in the bed he had fallen asleep on next to the beautiful girl beside him whom luckily is a very heavy sleeper, he grabbed his shell cell in his front pocket. The timer was going off he had set earlier that night to remind himself when the serum was going to wear off. He had about fifteen minuets before he needed to get out of there.
Looking around the room frantically he got from the bed as slowly as he could. He pressed the mattress down from his weight slowly letting it come back up with his hands. He looked down at Betty who groaned softly in her sleep, rolling over to the other side. He sighed to himself quickly putting on his shoes. He felt like a jerk just up and leaving Betty without any good-bye so he ripped a piece of paper from one of her notebooks on her desk and scribbled a quick excuse.
Leo needed me this morning. I wanted to say good-bye but you looked too beautiful to wake. I'll talk to you soon, count on that.
Donnie.
He quickly looked outside her first floor window and noticed that the sky was just beginning to turn to dawn. Opening the window as softly and quietly as he could he slipped out of it and ran along the side of the building. He kept to the shadows stopping along the way as campus police walked by, not even noticing his tall, six foot two frame pressed between the dew covered bricks and shrubbery along it. Running as fast as he could to the street he stopped at the sidewalk, causally making his way to the other side of the street and down an alleyway.
He went in and out of alleyways nearly his whole way back to Willow's. If he was able he would have went on the rooftops but, that would be a little too conspicuous and he knew Leo would have his head. However, it would have been a lot quicker saving him at least five minuets but, this was cutting it close.
He tapped his foot impatiently as the elevator slowly rose to Willow's floor. The woman beside him in jogging gear must have thought he was some sort of drug addict. His hair was a mess, sweat was damp on his forehead from sprinting the ten blocks and his clothes were all rumpled.
He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket again as the elevator doors dinged to Willow's floor. He smiled meekly at the woman in her work out clothes and took off down the hallway. His hands shook and he groaned softly, trying to bite it back as he struggled to open Willow's apartment door.
"Hello?" Leo asked as he opened the door to Donatello falling into the apartment against his back. He laid on the floor breathing heavily as Leo shut it, a mug of tea in his hand.
"Sorry I'm late." Donnie groaned out as he got to his feet and went to the bathroom.
"Remember we need to go see that dojo today." Leo reminded him as Donnie shut the bathroom door.
He quickly took off his clothing not wanting to hear the wrath of April from ruining the new clothes she had bought for him. He folded them neatly on the vanity and braced himself against the counter top.
"How much more do you have?" Leo asked softly from the other side of the door.
"Another... Couple, vials." Donnie groaned as he transformed into his normal self.
"I'm gonna make you some coffee." Leo said as Donnie could just nod his head, rotating his shoulders back into place and stretching as he settled back into his body. He sighed happily looking at the familiar green face in Willow's mirror.
He left the bathroom, tying his bandana around his eyes as Willow came out of her and Leo's room. Her hair was a mess and she yawned, forming a big smile as she noticed Donnie in his normal form.
"Hello handsome." She cooed, tugging on the back of his bandana as she passed. "How was last night?" Donnie followed her into the kitchen. She smirked at Leo, kissing his naked shoulder, the rest of his human body covered in a pair of sleep pants he had required from Casey. Don took a seat at her small table, stretching his arms above his head.
"It was... alright." He shrugged as Willow turned to him, crossing her arms over her chest. "It was amazing." He smiled and she smiled back with a nod.
"I knew it. You two are perfect." She shrugged as Leo cleared his throat next to her. She glared at him before taking a seat next to Donnie at the table. "You are." She shrugged.
"Well, we do get along rather well and we may not have too much in common but, she is really good to get along with and sweet and beautiful..." He sighed, as Willow just kept a large smile on her face, sipping the hot cup of coffee Leo had put on the table for her and Don.
"She's very pretty." Willow added as Leo eyed her from across the table, taking a seat. "What? I can't even say she's pretty?"
"Don't meddle." He said as she huffed.
"Am I meddling Don?" She asked as Leo looked at his younger brother.
"No...I guess not?"
"Not yet." Leo correct as Willow rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. As long as you're happy, I'm happy Donnie. You had a good night?" She asked for clarification. Don smiled with a nod of his head. "Then see? That's all that matters."
"So..." Willow said taking a sip her coffee as she eyed her friend across the table at a near by coffee shop. They both had time to meet up for lunch today. Willow's work had taken a hiatus because of the wedding. Her editor luckily understood. She told him she was working on a story about Betty's band anyways, how it was hot in the underground rock scene. Felicia's work had taken a hiatus because of, she'd like to say Willow's wedding too but, it was mostly because of one certain turtle. Thankfully, her classes this semester were online so her work towards a degree didn't suffer, just her bills.
"What?" Felicia asked, sipping her iced tea.
"What did you do last night when you left?" Willow asked, a large smile never leaving her face.
"Uh, went to bed?" Felicia said in confusion as Willow chuckled.
"Yeah you did! What happened?"
"Nothing really..." She shrugged as Willow rolled her eyes.
"Uh huh...Right. Raph was ready to take you on my table last night and you're gonna tell me nothing happened?"
"I don't exactly think this is the correct place to discuss... That." Felicia said looking around the nearly empty Cafe.
"Oh please." Willow said rolling her eyes. "You think he'll be able to hear you?" She asked, thumbing over her shoulder towards an elderly gentlemen with an hearing aid.
"No it's just...Nothing! Just let it go." Felicia groaned out, twirling her straw around her glass.
"I'm you're best friend in the whole wide world and you can't tell me how it was at least?"
"Shut up, Jesus..." Felicia hissed.
"Oh it's New York like people have talked about sex before?" Willow asked in a scoff as Felicia sighed.
"Fine..." Felicia huffed as Willow clapped her hands and straightened her back in the booth they sat in.
"I knew it!" Willow laughed happily. "Raph totally was gonna..."
"Anything else I can get you?" The waitress interrupted as she poured some more water into Willow's glass.
"Uh, no. We're good." Willow smiled as the waitress smiled back, eyeing Felicia.
"I'm sorry but, do I know you?" The waitress asked Felicia as she looked up at the woman. Her heart leaped into her throat.
"Uh... n-no. I don't think so?" Felicia stammered as Willow looked confused at her best friend and red haired waitress.
"No I never forget a face." She said, leaning her hand against the table towards Felicia. "You were with Raph at that rock club. You just said Raph right?" She asked as Willow shook her head confused.
"Whoa, wait. What?" She asked, looking towards the waitress and then back at Felicia. "Who are you?" She asked as the waitress smiled.
"I'm Meredith." She said, extending her hand towards Willow. "You are?"
"Willow..." She said, taking the girls hand and shaking it, still extremely confused. "How did..." Felicia furiously shook her head towards her friend.
"I'm sorry, but you must have me confused with someone else." Felicia shrugged trying to act as casual as she could. She was ready to get up and run, or punch her in the face. She couldn't decipher which.
"Look. I don't want any trouble OK? I was really drunk and dumb at the club. I just want to apologize." Meredith shrugged.
"OK..." Felicia said, unsure if she could actually trust what this woman was telling her or if she should just ask for the check now and to cancel her burger before her spit ended up on it.
"Can you tell him I'm sorry? For, everything really." Meredith shrugged again.
"I'm sorry but, who are you again?" Willow asked as Meredith shimmied down into the seat next to Felicia. Felicia moved over quickly to the bold woman. Her face heated with anger.
"I'm Meredith." She smiled. "I went out with Raph a couple years back. We actually um, had a thing a couple months ago..." She smiled down at her note pad. "I don't know if you knew?" She said, looking over at Felicia who nodded her head.
"He said it was a mistake, that nothing happened." Felicia said quietly as Meredith snorted.
"Oh, he would." She said rolling her eyes. "It was amazing though." She shrugged. "So, are you two like... Dating?" She asked over at Felicia. She nodded again slowly still playing with her straw in her iced tea.
"You two had a thing a couple months ago?" Willow questioned as Meredith nodded happily. "When exactly?"
"Oh... Um, like October I think? Oh course he was still... Well, ya know..." She leaned in closer to the girls. "A turtle." She whispered. "It's amazing what Don can do huh? Raph told me about how smart he was but, to make them turn into..." She leaned down towards the table and again whispered "Humans... It's pretty amazing."
"I-I'm sorry... When did you see them as humans?" Willow asked still confused as Meredith just kept smiling at her.
"A couple nights ago at a rock club. This band was playing, girl lead singing she's pretty awesome can't remember the name though..."
'Radio Legs." Felicia grumbled as Meredith snapped her fingers.
"That's it! Yeah. I was at the bar..." She rolled her eyes to herself. "Of course, where else would I have been? I'm trying to stop that ya know. I mean, Raph always hated that I drank so much... Anyways, I saw this just beautiful man standing there and I heard you say Raph and I just... I mean who else is called Raph? And his voice, oh God that's voice used to do things to me..." She chuckled, fanning herself with her notepad. "I can't forget that voice. It's one of a kind, ya know? Anyways... I just wanted to say I'm sorry if you thought I was being too bold or, ya know hittin' on him or somethin'? I mean, I totally was!" She laughed slapping her hand against her waist. Willow tried to join in, awkwardly but looked towards her best friend noticing her face becoming more and more red. She was mad, and embarrassed and... Mad. "He's just gorgeous as a, well, you know."
"He gorgeous anyways." Felicia said softly, trying as hard as she could to fight off tears. Meredith just shrugged.
"Too each her own hunny. But, if I was you I'd be keepin' him human a lot."
"Well, you're not me." Felicia said, her voice a little louder now. "That is why I am with him and you are not." She rose her head to look into Meredith's eyes. "I'd prefer if you did not talk about my boyfriend like a piece of meat and I'd love the check. Thanks." Willow tried to compress a snort of laughter as Meredith looked over at Felicia. Felicia tried as hard as she could to square off her shoulders and make herself look half as big as the Amazonian woman before her. Her eyes drifted slightly to Meredith's chest noticing, sadly how big they were in comparison to hers and sighed. He wants you, he wants you.
"Excuse me? I did have him first sweetheart." She laughed as Felicia shook her head, pressing her hands down on the table and standing to her feet. Meredith moved out of the booth and placed her hand on her hip.
"I am going to give you one chance to walk away from me." Felicia said, putting her finger in Meredith's face as Willow got to her feet too.
"Um...Fee, don't start something..." Willow said under her breath as Felicia shook her head.
"Yeah Fee." Meredith hissed. "Listen to your friend before you get yourself hurt."
"OK..." Willow said turning towards the woman before her. Luckily Willow wasn't much smaller than her. Actually they were about the same size. Willow also did have a background of training with Ninjas for months. This was of course years ago and she was a little rusty but, growing up with two overprotective brother's and father teaching her how to throw a punch never went away. "I think you need to just hold up a second."
"Willow I'm..." Willow held up a hand stopping Felicia from talking. The smaller girl just huffed, taking a seat back in the booth.
"Not only is this my best friend but, so isn't Raphael. He told me about you and I'll have you know Mere he despises you..."
"I think, honestly Leo you should just put the down payment on it. We all like it. There's enough room to train and we'd be able to fix it up. Kinda put our own touch to it." Raphael shrugged as he and his brother's all walked from the building they had been looking at for some time now. It was spacious with high ceilings and plenty of room for training. They had all had a few sessions there the past couple of days since they couldn't exactly go back down to the lair to train. It was a fixer-upper for sure but, nothing they all couldn't handle together. Plumbing, tearing down walls, putting up walls they've all done before. It's how they got their lair to look the way it does, by doing it themselves.
"It's true dude. I mean, it's not as if this isn't going to be apart of your life now." Mikey shrugged. "We're all for it, I like the space and so doesn't Don." He said, tapping his brother in the stomach. "We might as well just go with it." Leo sighed and nodded.
"But, what about the lair and Splinter? And Willow asked me to hold off for awhile with the Dojo..." Leo said as softly as he could over his shoulder.
"We can easily keep him safe at Willow's like we have been. And Willow will understand, it's just a down payment. It's not like we're gonna start construction tomorrow. We have time still and once you own it we can start it whenever. But, we have to own it first. And Splinter has actually been asking me about the serum and if it's possible for him to try it." Donnie said softly as Leo stopped and turned towards his nerdy brother.
"What?"
"Well, I didn't say yes." Donnie said as Leo sighed, letting his head fall back. "He needs to for the wedding anyways. It'll be good to give him a test run of sorts to see how his body reacts to it. It shouldn't be different than how ours did... Considering..."
"Considering what?"
"Well, we're...turtles and he's a rat." Donnie whispered softly with a shrug. "The chemical DNA is different than ours in that obvious way and the age, but other than that it should go smoothly."
"When were you going to tell me?" Leo asked as Mikey rolled his eyes.
"It was Splinter's decision dude. We can't exactly tell him no because Leo will blow a gasket."
"I'm not going to blow a gasket Mikey." Leo sighed, starting to walk again.
"I think it's a good idea." Raphael shrugged as Leo looked over his shoulder at him.
"Do you?"
"Yeah. I mean, we're doing this anyways. Don will figure out a way to make the serum better, or not so habit formin'... I guess is the right way to say that? And, we'll go back to normal."
"He hopes." Leo added as Donnie now sighed.
"I'm working on it."
"I'm starving." Mikey said smelling the air as the smell of freshly baked bread wafted around them.
"You know, Willow's building is around here somewhere maybe we can stop by for lunch?" Donnie suggested.
"Well, wait... Isn't that Will over there?" Mikey said, pointing across the street to a small cafe. All the brother's stopped and looked before Raphael groaned, looking both ways and ran across the street. "What? Was I right or wrong?" Mikey asked looking over at Leo who was following quickly behind Raphael. Mikey turned the other way to Don who shrugged.
"I'm assuming in this instance Mikey, you were right." He smiled at his younger brother slapping a hand on his shoulder. They both followed their elder siblings, crossing the street and entering the cafe.
Leonardo entered the Cafe first, brushing past Raphael who entered second. The patrons of the Cafe looked towards the harsh bell except for the two woman caught in a stare down. Felicia turned in the booth and sighed happily noticing Raph.
"What's going on?" Raph asked looking towards Meredith and then Willow.
"Oh, hey Raph." She smiled turning towards him and touching his arm. He pulled it away from her quickly and sat next to Felicia.
"You OK? She do anything?" He asked, as Felicia sighed rolling her eyes.
"Why does everyone think I can't stand up for myself?" She grumbled as Raph smirked and took her hand pulling her from the booth. "Wait, my burger." She said looking back towards the table.
"Trust me, foods no good there." Raph said, pulling her outside the Cafe.
Leo looked over at his soon to be wife still glaring at the red head.
"You know you have to pay right?" Meredith said, putting her arms over her chest as Willow scoffed grabbing her purse and placing a five dollar bill on the table covering the drinks.
"There." She smiled. "Want a tip? Don't keep fuckin' with my friends." She seethed, pointing her finger in Meredith's face as Leo stepped beside her.
"Not my fault your friends are freaks." Meredith said turning away from her as Willow nealry growled, going after her. Leonardo grabbed her quickly around the waist and took her outside as well.
"What did she say?" Raph asked, going over to Willow who pulled her purse strap up over her shoulder and started down the street.
"I'm hungry." She grumbled, passing Mikey and Donnie.
"Willow." Raph called, catching up with her.
"You had something with that disgusting excuse for a woman?" She asked, turning to Raph quickly. He placed his hands on her shoulders to stop himself from running into her.
"It, it was years ago. What the fuck does that matter?" He asked as she rolled her eyes.
"Not years ago Raphael. Months. Months ago?"
"Oh..." He said, looking over his shoulder at Felicia who smiled meekly at him.
"Yeah oh! And here poor Fee is thinkin' you're actually invested in your relationship and..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Felicia interrupted, stepping up beside Raphael. "I knew he had a thing with her. Which actually wasn't anything because I stopped it." She said, smiling up at Raph. He smiled back down at her kissing her temple. "It was in October but, I was actually leaving your place and called him to walk me home, he came." She shrugged.
"I would always, for you." He said, softly just for her and she smiled.
"Awww..." Willow said, wrapping her arms around Raph and Felicia. "I'm sorry Raph! I'm just all over the place lately with the wedding and then that hell bitch just ruined my god damned lunch!" She said pulling away as Raph snorted out a laugh.
"Well, there's other Cafes." Donnie suggested as Willow nodded.
"Let's go. My treat!" She said, leaving her arm out and looking over her shoulder at Leo. He shook his head, trying to forced away a smile before slipping her arm under his.
"It honestly isn't a big deal Don." Betty smirked into her phone as she laid back against her bed. His scent was gone, along with his warmth but, she could still picture him there next to her. She watched him as he slept the night before. He was calm not moving too much and so peaceful. She wanted to wake him and tell him he should leave and go home but, something in her just couldn't do it.
She felt like she was beginning to fall for him and she hated the idea of it. She barely knew him or anything about him.
He was handsome, smart and made her laugh. In the list of her ideal man, those three things at least the last two were so important to her. No one could make her laugh, like really laugh like he could. It was so genuine and easy with him. She had this unnerving feeling of just begin absolutely safe too. As if nothing could harm them when he was around her. She couldn't figure it out and she wanted to ask but, how crazy would that sound? Also, he had four brothers. That's all she knew. That and he's a genius, apparently.
"I just felt bad, up and leaving like that but I had something to take care of..." Don said, his feet kicking against the bricks of Willow's apartment building. He was on the roof top ledge looking over the beautiful city. He wanted to get up and run to Betty's dorm building but, that would be stupid, crazy and stalker-ish. That would be the last thing he wanted to come off as. That and a giant ninja turtle. He sighed to himself, shaking his head. How the hell was he going to tell her?
"Like what?" Betty hedged, she wanted to get some sort of information about his hasty retreat this morning.
"Family stuff." He shrugged. He rolled his eyes to his excuse. He was an awful liar and knew this was going to bite him in the ass sooner rather than later.
"Oh..." She said as Don took the phone down from his ear and groaned tapping it against his forehead. He lifted it back up in case he missed something but she was quiet on the other end.
"Did you um, are you busy tonight?" He asked, hesitantly as she smirked.
"No. I'm not busy."
"Would you like to go out with me tonight?"
"It's a little short notice." She said with a smile, trying to get a rise out of him.
"Oh, yeah. You're right. Maybe another time with better preparation we can..."
"Don. I was joking." She chuckled on the other end as Donnie smiled a little. "I would love to go out. I can head over to Willow's, be there in about twenty minuets?" She asked.
"It's late, I can come get you." He said, worried about her walking the streets alone at night.
"Don, it's only eight. I think I'll be good."
"Well, maybe so but, I'd still rather come and walk with you." Betty sighed and relented to his wishes.
"Fine."
"Thank you." He smiled. "I'll be there in twenty."
"Not a minuet later." She said as he smiled and nodded his head.
"Never." He leaped up off the ledge and ran down Willow's fire escape. He opened the window and nearly knocked over Raph who went to go open it for him.
"Whoa bud, where's the fire?"
"Date." He called over his shoulder going into Riley and Mikey's room, where he had been keeping most of his things.
"Awe, Don! You promised you'd help with these center pieces!" Felicia whined from the kitchen table as she tried to get a piece of hot glue off her finger. Fake pink flowers and glue sticks were all over the table top with about twenty glass vases around her feet.
"Rain check!" He called out hopping into another pair of pants. Mikey watched him from Riiley's bed, putting his comic book down onto his plastron.
"Dude, you got it bad huh?" He chuckled as Don flung his shirt off and searched for another. He found the one he was looking for and tugged it on quickly before grabbing his sneakers. Sitting on the edge of Riley's bed he tied his shoes.
"No, I am just trying to leave quickly because she is waiting for me and it is already late. I don't want to keep her out to late, she has class in the morning." He shrugged as Mikey chuckled, picking his comic back up.
"Yeah. OK bro, whatever you say." He said as Donnie rolled his eyes and got from the bed. Don rushed into the kitchen, grabbing his extra key and wallet.
"Don, I still don't understand why you don't come stay with me and Casey? We have that extra room and Splinter is comfortable in the living room." April asked as she tried to glue a piece of plastic flower to the base of a vase.
"Well..." He looked over at Willow who took him in and then Leo for some sort of permission. "I guess I could. It is a little cramped here...?"
"I think you should." Leo smirked nodding his head. "You can keep an eye on Splinter and you're only a couple blocks away if we need you."
"You can't keep getting dressed in my room. Between you and Mikey I don't know what's gonna happen if I walk in on either of you half naked again. I might just explode." Riley shrugged as she kept her eyes on her work, finishing another vase to Felicia's one.
"Well, we don't want that." Donnie said with a raised eyebrow as Willow chuckled.
"I'll pack your things and leave them with April when she leaves tonight." Will said, going over to Donnie and kissing his cheek. "Be safe tonight. Call if you need anything we'll all be here. All night!" She said looking over her shoulder at the girls around her table.
"Yes Bridezilla." Riley said tossing back a beer.
"Where's Izzy?" Felicia asked "Ouch! Son of a bitch!" She said, pulling her hand away from the glue gun and trying to peel the hot glue off her flesh before it dries. "OK, that's it. I'm done." She said getting up from the table. "I'm not nearly as drunk as I should be for this." Raphael smirked at his agitated girlfriend and grabbed her a glass of wine from the cabinet.
"She should be here soon." Willow said, opening the door for Donnie who smiled at her in thanks.
"Thanks Will. I'll be back with Betty, we can help with the center pieces if you want?"
"That would be great, but only if she wants. I don't want you wasting a date night to help with this."
"Oh sure, to him its wasting a date night. What about me and Mikey?" Riley groaned. "Where is Mikey?" She asked looking around the apartment.
"He's in your room reading a comic I believe." Leo said gathering the finished vases from the floor and placing small white stones into them.
"MICHELANGELO!" Willow yelled as Raph and Leo who were next to her cringed to the loudness. "Get in here!" Mikey came into the room slowly with his head down.
"C'mon Will, I'm getting to the best part!" He whined showing her his comic.
"You're helping." She said pointing at an empty chair next to Riley.
"Nice try Mikey." Raph laughed. "If I have to do this shit, you do too." He said, sitting down in Felicia's seat and pulling her onto his lap. He kissed her red, burnt finger and helped her with her vase as she happily drank her wine.
"We'll be back." Donnie smiled, leaning down and kissing Willow's cheek.
"Be careful!" Leo called out as Willow closed the door.
