It was the next morning both Isadora and Alastor woke up around ten am after waking up at sunrise in each others arms, they spent the sunrise in bed in each others arms just giving each other soft kisses until they drifted back to sleep, they each gave each other a small sheepish smile, and walked around the room collecting their clothes in silence as they handed each other their discarded items of clothing from the previous night. After they got dressed they silently walked out of her room, he bent down and gave Isadora a small chaste kiss and told her he was going on an outing to Cannibal town she gave a silent nod and he added that he would see her after. He gave her a small smile and she gave him a little side hug as she walked away saying that she also had things to do but would like to see him later. As he left the hotel thoughts of the previous night went through his head, he didn't know what to make of any of it one moment they were horribly arguing and the next moment he was on top of her and inside of her. He never experienced anything like that before, granted he wasn't a virgin but he's never been sexually attracted to anyone, but that never stopped him from having drunken sex with the flapper girls of his day but they meant nothing to him and it was so much easier to go through the act of sex when you're drunk. Ever since he went to hell he never desired anyone no one ever appealed to him, but she did and he didn't know why? He didn't think he felt a sexual attraction but it felt so primal. He was lost in his thoughts before he realized that he was already in cannibal town. He silently walked into the shop and Rosie gave him a enthusiastic wave and motioned for him to follow her into her private parlor. They sat down and she offered him coffee knowing he didn't like tea and they sat and caught up, Rosie noticed that Alastor's mind seemed to be somewhere else.
" What's on your mind Alastor your head is in the clouds someone crossed you again?" She asked and gave a light hearted chuckle. They've been friends for so long he knew he could probably confide in her and she would offer good advice or at least confidentiality so opening up to her would not be a problem but he didn't even know where to begin.
" Well yes a bit, something happened last night and I don't know what to make of it if I am to be honest." He said taking a tentative sip of his coffee and deliberating the next thing he was going to say.
" Well spill what happened?" She asked pouring more coffee into her cup which she politely offered more to Alastor which he politely declined.
" You know how about the horrible little blue cook Charlie hired at the hotel who was ignoring me and disrespecting me since she got here?"
"Yes….'' Rosie said slowly not knowing where the conversation was going to lead up to.
" Well everything came to a head last night and we got into quite a vicious argument and then something happened."
" Oh Alastor, you didn't kill her did you? I thought you had a strict policy about not harming women?"
" No that didn't happen." He said deliberating how he was going to say the next statement.
" Then what? Did you get her fired? Did you make her cry? Did you somehow end up owning her soul what happened?" She asked and Alastor took a sigh and decided to just come out with it
" I slept with her." Rosie stopped drinking her coffee mid sip and put her cup down on the table her eyes narrowed looking at him, she took a moment to digest what he just told there before speaking.
" Pardon my French but back the hiffle up what did you just say?" Not sure if she heard right.
" Last night she really pushed the envelope and made me so incredibly mad that I was about to confront her for her horrible behavior, it led to a vicious argument and I almost wanted to kill her because she was saying the most god-awful things, but In fairness I said them too and then things were about to escalate and she stared right at me and told me she was not afraid of me, and then it happened. We had sex." Alastor said waving a hand in the air and looking down at his coffee cup. Rosie stared at him for a second and looks like she was taking another moment to digest everything he just told her which was a lot in all fairness it was a moment before she spoke because it looked like she was really trying to put thought into how she was going to say her next statement.
" So…you had a viscous argument and decided the next course of action was to fuck her? Like literally? I thought you were asexual? I'm confused?" She said Alastor in recent months have gotten a better understanding of what asexuality is and came to terms he may be himself, he wasn't put off the idea of sex but he never found women to be sexually attractive but it never stopped him from having sex in the past his reasonings never had anything to do with sexual attraction, to him he just liked the physical feeling and nothing more but with Isadora it was something more. She knew he wanted to be with her because she was just like him but he was so confused as to how that argument led up to them having sex. That was the part that confused him. And Rosie was valid in her statement of being confused as well.
" Just because I'm asexual doesn't mean I'm automatically sex repulsed. I just dont experience sexual attraction."
" That's fair but how did the argument lead up to you two having sex?" She asked Alastor replayed everything from last night and Rosie listened in silence not interrupting the entire time when he was done Rosie told him that maybe the reason why what happened happened is because Isadora is one of the very few people that's ever measured up to his standards in terms of intelligence cunning and viciousness. And that's something that really challenged him because few people genuinely challenge him, and maybe the passion and reach from the argument awoke and a hidden desire to want to be with somebody who can measure up to him. It wasn't a wild theory to him, it's so easy to manipulate other people for him and so easy to use social engineering to his benefit on others but it isn't for her, he likes that she's a challenge, he likes that she's cunning just like him, he likes that she has an incredibly dark side too. I think that's the part he likes the best he thought to himself.
" You want to be with her right?" She asked picking up her coffee cup again.
" Yes I do, and she stated she wanted to be with me too."
" Did you talk about anything of the like yet in terms of what you want in your relationship or what happened last night?" She asked as she finished her coffee.
" No, we kind of awkwardly picked up our clothes and I gave her a kiss and just told her I would see her later. I honestly didn't know what to say cause it still felt a little awkward."
" Well I think you need to stop having this conversation with me and have a long conversation with her. Cause this girl seems like she could be really something I've known you for well over 90 years and no woman has ever interested you like her, but this one clearly does so she has to be special for your ace self to be interested. So stop talking with me and go to her and talk to her cause she could be a good thing for you!" She exclaimed. He thanked her for the advice and told her as usual it was a pleasure seeing her and left cannibal town and was going to go to Isadora.
