"Please do." She purred in response to him. She deepened their kiss, tilting her head. She snapped her head back as she heard a knock on her bathroom door. X "Astoria? Ria, please, we need to talk. You don't have to say anything. Just, hear me out? When you get out, that is. Ill... ill just wait out here." He added, moving away from the door. Mercy stayed quiet, her eyes wide, biting her lip. She slipped gently out of Kenney's hold, muttering a curse and landing lightly on her feet. She stared at the wall in thought.

He smirked at her purred comment, he leaned forward pressing up against her, kissing her as passionately as possible. When he heard a knock his head snapped back and looked at the door. As he heard Xander speak, he bit his tongue, holding back every thought he wanted to hiss out at the boy. As Mercy slipped out of his hold, Kennedy took a slight step back, covering his face with both hands and letting out a heavy but quiet sigh, not exatcly sure how they were gonna get out of this.

She let out a small sigh, quickly reaching up and gently pulling his hands aside. She leaned up and gave him a deep, passionate kiss, unsure of when she would get the chance to do it again. She pressed herself up against him, stroking his cheek gently before pulling away. She closed her eyes for a moment and looked up at him, mouthing 'Our clothes.' She shook her head and quickly shut off the water, stepping out and tossing a towel at him, grabbing one for herself. She quickly toweled herself dry, grabbing a pair of clothes from a door that lead into her closet. She threw them on and gestured Kennedy into the walk in closet, which was spacious.

He willingly let her pull his hands aside not fighting it at all. He looked at her with a soft gaze before leaning down into her kiss, kissing her back jsut as passionately, but it felt a bit different almost as if she was saying goodbye, which got him upset as he wasn't ready for their time to end. As she pressed up against him, he brought a hand up and ran it through her hair gently. When she pulled away he leant his head into her hand not wanting her touch to leave him. When she mouthed the words, his eyes widened slightly realizing their clothes from last night were still sprawled on the floor, well more importantly his clothes. He stepped out of the shower lightly as he caught the towel, trying to make the least amount of noise possible, he qucikly dried off, then wrapped the towel around his lower half. As Mercy gestured him into the closet, he walked up to her giving her a light kiss on the forehead before finally making his way in there.

Mercy leaned into his kiss, looking resentfully at his towel as though she wanted to reach for it and yank it off. She gently ran her fingers over the fold that kept it in place; mouthing 'soon' and giving him a wink. She stepped forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek, leaving the door slightly ajar so it wouldn't be pitch black. She stepped back out into her room and looked at Xander warily.

(Would you mind playing Xander?))

I don't mind at all! Do you want Xander to be calm about finding the clothes or a bit aggressive/upset)

Kennedy looked down and watched her hand trace gently over the fold of the towel with a soft smile. At her word, he nodded his head as he accepted her word and leaned into her kiss. He watched her leave and as soon as the door shut, he let out a quiet sigh cause as at the moment all he could do was listen.

Xander sat on Ria's bed, patiently waiting for her to be finished in the bathroom. His eyes were glued to some clothes that were on the ground which he knew all too well, weren't his. As soon as he heard the door click open, he snapped his head over as he watched Astoria walk out.

You can choose! I'm feeling indecisive today xD))

Ria paused and looked at Xander, biting her lip. "Hello, Xander." She said softly, taking a few hesitant steps toward him. She felt unreasonably guilty, for some reason. This was totally unfair to both men. Probably Xander more than Kennedy, but still. She glanced at the clothes he had been staring at and sighed, sitting a small ways away from him on the bed. The bed that still smelled like Kennedy.

Okay! Just let me know if you don't like what I choose and I can switch it up! And I feel that XD I hate days like that where I can't decide on anything))

Xander watched her as she walked over, extremely hesitant, he raised a brow at her odd behavior. She was acting as if she was hiding guilt or something, "Hey...." He said softly back to her, scooting a bit closer before glancing back at the clothes on the floor "Want to explain what that is about?" He asked a bit sharply, feeling a huge sting in his heart if what he was thinking was actually true. Which he hoped it wasn't as he trusted Ria with all his heart

She closed her eyes and sighed. "No, but I will if you really need me to." She said softly, staring at the ground. She glanced over at him and searched his face. Her childhood friend, her first kiss. The person meant to be her future. The person she was betraying, turning her back on. He had always done his best to be there, and yet... here she was.

He frowned as the pain in his heart grew, her words seemed to confirm his fear. He sighed and looked back at the ground, racking his brain on two questions of who? and why?. After a long silence he looked back at her, a new emotion starting to plaster his face "Was it the gardener that ran after you last night? What's his name?" He asked sternly, his voice hinting at anger and jealousy,
