<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">Bailey's gaze darted between her two friends. She was very tempted to simply stare at the floor as it was much safer but that wasn't really her style. Her own wariness aside, she usually liked to simply meet these sorts of things head on. It would do no good to flinch now considering it was she who'd gone and asked the question.<br/><br/><em>"To be honest, last night isn't something I think I can forget or pretend to..."</em><br/><br/>It was an echo of her very own feelings and there was a certain amount of relief that came at hearing it from Leo's mouth. It softened her smile and unconsciously eased some of the tension that had been creeping back into her shoulders. She wanted to tell him right then and there that she wasn't going anywhere but as bold as she could be, Bailey wasn't always good with the softer stuff. Sappy, in this context at least, was really a new feeling for her. Though there may have been a very faint tinge of color that touched her cheeks as her blue eyes swung back to Kayla.<br/><br/>There had been a brief moment of dread, a tiny kernel of fear that Kayla would be the voice of reason and point out the utter foolishness of the situation. That she'd want to leave their night as a one time adventure to be remembered or not spoken of again. Or worse... that she was even more in love with Leo yet just couldn't feel that way about Bailey herself, that her wires simply weren't crossed that way no matter how she'd responded under Bailey's touch. She'd never had her heartbroken before, not really, so it was hard to know just how to stand there and prepare for it. She'd tried to steel herself against what she worried was impending disaster but it was useless. Kayla's words took the breath right from her without much of a struggle.<br/><br/><em>"...so I kinda wanna keep you both. Like in the new way, cause I don't think thing's can go back to the way they were before"</em><br/><br/>It probably took her too long to relearn how to breathe properly. Because she was utterly silent until the moment Kayla escaped, dashing off to shower. Bailey watched her go, torn between a million different emotions at once. She glanced up at Leo then away briefly.<br/><br/>"Well, guess its good to know I don't have to pretend I don't know what you look like naked anymore," she teased perhaps somewhat inappropriately. But hell, this was Bailey. Her teeth appeared to nibble at her lower lip and unconsciously her gaze returned to Leo, drifting up his mostly bare form as if remembering far more than she was currently able to see. She exhaled shakily then turned away fully, making herself stop. She could hear the shower running off in the distance however, which was no help at all. If anything it only reinforced how her mind refused to get off the merry go round of lust and tangled emotions. And of course it hit her all over again that she was alone with Leo, which made her stupid pulse pick up like she'd never been in room with a guy before. Sure, he'd said he <em>loved</em> her but she was sure that little tidbit had been more alcohol than anything. She'd seen the way Kayla had gazed up at him and the way he'd looked back at her when they'd... <em>Stop it, Bailey.</em><br/><br/>She wasn't going to go there now. Nope. Instead she was gonna embrace the happy parts and simply bask in the fact that she wasn't going to lose her two best friends over a mistake and the knowledge that both seemed open to the possibility of more...<br/><br/>"Fair warning," she said to Leo because she'd never not been honest with him, "I have no clue how any of this is supposed to work. But I want to try... with you two..."</span>
