AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Her eyes lifted up in surprise, a silent 'wait, really?' at his question. There was a sudden urge to throw the blankets aside and jump his bones right then and there, but she quelled that.
"Hmm, I dunnooo..." she made like it was a tough decision, bringing up her hand to cup her chin and staring 'into the distance' with a hard stare. She couldn't help the smile that twitched at her lips, though. Her eyes swiveled back to him quickly, not able to keep up the façade for long. His brown eyes had her crumbling at his fingertips, admittedly.
She nudged him playfully, dropping the joke. "Yes. I want both. All of it. Is that too much to ask?" asks the question with an air of confidence, expression falling with the honesty. The assurance felt unexpected, even for herself but, she really didn't have much doubt in her answer. She leaned back on one hand, letting go of his, and searched those pools of honey for his reaction.
She wanted him. Plain and simple. Even if they were still very new to each other, happiness is fleeting. You have to catch it before it passes you by. Aurelia didn't want to live the same life anymore, didn't want to go on with that same feeling of... unfulfillment. Yes, certain doubts lingered because of course they did, but every time she looked at him she found that she didn't really give a damn.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
