In fact, the night had been filled with kissable moments that had just swung sideways as soon as the undeniable energy between them built up to its peak. What was that about? It was frustrating for the red-head; she could never seem to find her stride since she was always running off. The only reason she had chose mini-golf was because she was <em>good</em> at it! She was starting to think that the mischief was intentional, but she couldn't hold on to that track of thought with Dori being so <em>bold</em>.<br/><br/>It turned Tessa on.<br/><br/>She felt that familiar flutter in her stomach - the one that came with all of the firsts in a relationship. This wasn't friendly physical contact. This was intentional intimate closeness! As confident as Tessa appeared to be, she still had the same nervous reservations as everyone else, even if she was really good at swatting those butterflies away and just <em>going</em> for it. The fact that the tables had turned and Dori was taking the lead brought on an unexpected thrill, one Tessa did not want to see ruined by some errant ball. <br/><br/>Her own hands found Dori's hips, but they were less shy; her fingertips inched much farther back into round bottom territory. She smiled, and it was somewhat apologetic.<br/><br/>"Golf is kind of ruining my mood," she said honestly. The fact that she wasn't making light of the situation through jokes was a hint at how upset the constant interruptions were making her. "Here I am with this gorgeous girl, and I can't seem to stop making excuses to run the other way. What do you say we go do something else instead?" She said it as low as she could get away with in the noisy building, leaning in close to Dori to close the distance between them. This was it, the <em>moment</em>...!<br/><br/><strong>"If you two are finished?"</strong> The shout was from the group behind them who had no patience for their public displays of affection when there was golfing to be done. <br/><br/>Tessa halted her advance, instead moving to rest her forehead against Dori's own. She couldn't help but laugh - the tension of <em>almost</em> kissing, the disappointment of <em>almost</em> kissing - and pull Dori in even closer for a hug. Their bodies mashed comfortably together. Was this a sign from the universe?<br/><br/>"Fuck the universe," she said in a seeming non-sequitur. "Let's head to the track," she suggested. <em>Something</em> on this damn date was going to go off without a hitch - Tessa would make sure of it! <br/><br/>After Dori would reply, Tessa would snake her hand down into Dori's own, interlocking fingers and holding on tight. "What's a date without a little sexual tension?" she teased with a twinkle in her eye, addressing her own growing desire.</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/RpctgeD.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>JJ Athlin; Tessa's rival<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Nonbinary, they/them. Open for Crash to use as an NPC as relevant.<br/><hr/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>As soon as the fiery redhead known as Tessa Thomson had entered the building, JJ's night had been ruined. What was <em>she</em> doing here? Who was that gorgeous woman on her arm? The green-eyed monster known as jealousy had reared its ugly head and JJ was not pleased. In a petty attempt to ruin Tessa's night, JJ had cast a small hex on her ball; nothing disastrous, just inconvenient. The ball would <em>want</em> to bounce towards JJ, forcing Tessa to walk towards them. The plan had been for Tessa to notice JJ and their group of friends, each better looking than the last, but the old flame only had eyes for her own date! It was infuriating! How was Tessa supposed to be jealous of JJ's arm-candy if Tessa refused to look their way?<br/><br/>In a huff of irritation, they decided for a more direct approach. It seemed as if the two were leaving the mini-golf course early and headed towards the go-carts. <br/><br/><strong>"Let's go race,"</strong> they snapped; the group didn't seem to mind - their conversation never even broke as they began to follow JJ towards the race line.<br/><br/>Obviously, the blue-haired girl was just some - some <em>rebound</em>. Sure, they and Tessa had not dated for almost 5 months now, but that didn't mean Tessa wasn't still falling over herself to get back together! That's how it always went! Date. Breakup. Rebound. Get back together! What was taking her so long to get back together?<br/><br/>Their heels clicked on the linoleum floor, each <em>crack</em> like a whip. It was time to up the dramatic energy and be noticed!<br/></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/9PgoVh1.jpg)</div><strong>Name: </strong>Tessa Thompson (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333024.msg15866336#msg15866336)<br/><hr/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Despite all of that dramatic energy, Tessa wasn't noticing JJ. In fact, her back was towards him. She only had eyes for Dori and she was doing her best to make up for the fiasco that was golfing. She had returned her putt, but kept the ball as a momento - it was supposed to be 'returned' by finishing the course, but since they weren't doing that, she had just stuck it into her handbag.<br/><br/>"Did you want to be a hybrid?" she asked, calling back to earlier conversations. "I thought Deep Ones lived in the ocean doing... monstery things." It showed her ignorance, but also her willingness to understand. Would Dori one day be called to the seas? <br/><br/>She was oblivious to JJ behind her, staring daggers first at Tessa, then at Dori, then back at Tessa while waiting to be acknowledged.</td></tr></tbody></table>
