Eric Heads Out To Grab His Stuff

While the others on the first floor were finding themselves in the middle of some sexually charged situation, Eric and Anna were merely simmering from the fight earlier. Anna had brought her, possible, boyfriend back to her room, sitting him down at the edge of the bed before snuggling up next to him, "Eric...are you okay?" Anna softly asked the blue-eyed teen who was slightly shaking his head, "I know that must have hurt,"

"I've never seen Zoey like that, I knew she'd be upset, but...it's just not like her," Eric murmured back, nearly sounding like he was sure that the girl he fought with was someone else entirely, "And the way she just kept attacking me back there, Zoey should know I would never just try and kick her out of my life,"

Anna let out a slow exhale, snaking her hand under Eric's arm and interlacing her fingers through his right hand, "People deal with hurt and loss in different ways, Eric, I know when I lost you, I broke down," Anna explain, "I didn't want to do anything with anybody for weeks,"

"What was...did you see the way she was with Kenny?" Eric pointed out with a small narrowing of his brow, "She was so...close to him, almost dependent,"

"They were out in that storm all night, Eric, they probably were depending on each other. Not to mention, we all know Kenny, he's always trying to be helpful. He more than likely took care of her through the whole thing," Anna easily replied, gently trying to defend the pair from Eric's scrutiny, though the blonde herself couldn't help but wonder. Anna and Eric had made sure to wait until things were settled with Zoey before moving forward, surely Zoey would have done the same, right?

"Maybe...it's just...I couldn't help but noticed the way she was looking at him, you know? Her eyes kept looking so relieved when she glanced over at the guy, and so assured when she asked him for help," Eric mumbled out, "It's just odd, Zoey and I were slow moving, but she seems so close and warm with Kenny already,"

"Maybe you're just seeing things, o-or maybe you're right, but they were put through a trauma together, it's possible that it could have driven them together," Anna remarked with a small shrug, "Eric?"

"Hmm?" Eric hummed back while turning his head to look at Anna,

"Do you...regret everything now? Do you feel like you made the wrong choice, or-" Anna nervously started to ask,

"No!" Eric exclaimed, cutting Anna short, "Anna, I swear to you, I don't regret leaving Zoey. Even if it makes me sound like an asshole, I don't care; you're the one I want to be with. You're the only one I ever wanted to be with. I love you, Anna,"

Anna's color returned to her pale face, her tongue traced along her lower lip as she locked eyes with the teen, "I love you too, Eric, I love you so much," She tenderly replied before pressing forward, planting a needful kiss on his lips. Eric quickly cocked his body, wrapping his arms around Anna, finally able to give her a fulfilling kiss in return, no longer feeling like he was betraying anyone. As for Anna, the blonde never felt more confident and steady in her life; nothing ever felt wrong about kissing Eric...or doing anything else with him.

Eric heard Anna starting to let out a low hum, her right hand slowly starting to trail down Eric's back, around his side, before resting on his leg, just a few inches away from his crotch. Eric broke the kiss and smirked while giving the blonde a little eye, "What are you doing, Ms.Ross?"

Anna coyly rolled her jaw before nipping at her lower lip, "If I'm telling the truth? I was thinking about taking your pants off," She admitted without a moment's hesitation, nearly having the confidence of Nicole, "I really, really, have missed the way you held me, Eric. The way you used to touch me...hold me in your arms," Anna whispered out before her lips pressed against his once again, "The way you filled me up for the first time. I used to think about it so much, knowing that no man could ever compare...you were the only one,"

Eric let out a shaky breath, Anna's words intoxicating him easily, "Mhm, I've missed you too, Zoey and I never moved past kissing so...you're the only one I've ever been with too," He said with a nearly relieved smile, "And trust me...I've missed and thought about you just as much,"

"Good, good," Anna breathed back while planting loving kisses on Eric's face and neck, "Now let me take off your pants, I've been dreaming of this moment since the minute you left me,"

Eric let out a small murmuring laugh and easily began to pull away from Anna, "God, I want to, but I still need to go and get my stuff, and I'm not letting us rush a thing." He said as he smoothly got off the bed, "Tonight, you and I are going to bed, and we're not leaving it for a second till the morning," Eric said as he leaned down, sharing another deep kiss with Anna, "It's going to be slow, loving...perfect, I promise, Anna,"

"I believe you," Anna sighed back with dreamy eyes, "And this is why I love you, no slutty romps with you, everything always has meaning," She continued with some pride in her voice, "But just...mhm," Anna grunted as she yanked on Eric's shirt, falling back on the bed with him, her hands holding the teen for minutes as he laid with her, their loving kiss refusing to cease for a second.

Finally, after close to ten minutes, Eric began to pull back from Anna's embrace with a long final hum. Their lips parted, leaving a thin string of their mixed salvia connecting them which quickly broke as Anna licked her lips and Eric moved down kissing the top of her hand, "I'll be back in a few hours with my stuff, then it's you and me for the rest of this week,"

"No, not just the week, more than that," Anna warmly corrected,

"Oh yeah, way more than that," Eric nodded, "Nothing will ever take me away from you again, Anna, I swear,"

"Good...that's just what I want," Anna breathed back, "You sure you don't want me to come with you?"

"Not this time, I think I can use the alone time to get my head straight, then when I come back, I'll be your boyfriend and nothing else," Anna sat up as Eric slid off the bed, "As long as that's okay with you,"

Anna let out a soft whine before nodding, "I'll miss you, though,"

"I'll miss you too, but I'll be right back, alright?" Anna nodded once more feeling Eric's lips hit hers one final time, "See you in just a bit, Ms.Ross,"

"Mhm, make it fast, Mr.Roosevelt," Anna sighed as she watched the man walk out of their room. Anna let herself fall back on the bed, her whole body warm and tingling with just a hint of dampness in her pants. Anna couldn't wait until tonight; it was going to magical, she knew it.
