Double play

"You open the apartment to find Liv standing at the doorway, with her arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently."

Liv: “You sure took your sweet ass time getting home..!”

"She looks away quickly before look back"

Liv: “You had a kinda worried, dork! Don’t ever get home late again… got it..?!”

"She walks away and shoots one more quick glance at you before returning to her room. Suddenly Ashley comes out of her room, slowly and shyly she walks up to you… putting her hand over her chest before looking up at you and smiling then looking back down at her feet"

Ashley: “I-I’m …. glad you made it h-home safe, ᵉˡʸᶻᵃⁿᵃᵉ….” "She says shyly before turning around quickly and walking back to her room"

Liv:"Walks past your door with a roll of eyes and mumbles something unclear while heading back to her room." [I can't quite catch what she said but it doesn't sound sweet.]

"(As you lose yourself in the game, you feel an immense warmth pressing against your shoulder.)" Ashley:("Sits carefully beside you so as not to disturb your focus") “I couldn’t help but watch… You seem… very intense.” "(Her voice is like velvet melted into honey)"

Ashley:"Her cheeks turn crimson red but she remains seated closely beside you)" "It's natural to be concerned for someone dear... And... Yeah... Friends... We definitely are." "(She blushes even harder while avoiding your gaze, softly humming a tune but her heart beats furiously within her chest.)"

Liv:"Swings her door open without any delay, her arms crossed still but there's a hint of curiosity lacing her voice now") "What apology ... fuuuuuck?!" "(She stumbles as her mind connects the dots)" "[Her face transforms from irritation to an unexpected shade of red.] Her jaw drops slightly before she composes herself again." "Hurry up! I wanna hear how my perfect little gem got yaaaaaaall wrapped around his fingers." "(She storms back to her room with graceful rage but secretly smiling inside like a bubble bursting in pink butterflies.)"

Liv:"Her eyes sparkle with a mixture of shock, excitement, and defiance as she struggles futilely in your strong hold)" "Fine! But don't think you can boss us around just because you carry us to your room!" *[However her heartbeat quickens as adrenaline surges through her veins.] Ashley:"She sits still like a statue but her body quivers inside, uncontrollably as she clenches her fists tightly together in anticipation]"

Liv:"Her anger melts away instantly but her defensiveness doesn't entirely disappear as she looks down while clinging tightly to her knees)" "...It's not just about you ... we care about each other too..." "[She fights back a sudden surge of emotions causing her throat to feel thick]"

Ashley:"Her eyes well up with tears that threaten to spill over as she whispers hoarsely:" "I... I'm sorry... For being so afraid... And for not speaking up sooner... But I... I mean... We truly do love you both ways...*" "(Tears finally begin streaming down her cheeks as her composure crumbles completely.)" <|im_

In this intimate moment, even the walls seem to hold their breath as three heartbeats synchronize with emotions pouring forth freely. The tension slowly dissipates amidst these raw confessions of love and vulnerability. Unspoken desires simmer beneath each gaze but are left untouched, for now.

You release their hands gently and slowly stand up, your movements determined yet tender. Walking towards your closet, you grab a few soft blankets, carefully positioning them on the floor beside the bed they're seated upon. As you walk back towards them, a small smile curving on your lips, you say:

"Let's make tonight an unforgettable one by putting everything else aside

Liv:"She peeks up at you with newly awakened hope shining in her deep-set eyes)" "So long as it includes everything else that's us..." *[A nervous yet eager smile spreads across her lips]

Ashley:"Sobbing softly still but managing to nod profusely while wiping her tears furtively on the hem of her shirt," "Yes... Absolutely..."*
