Late chat with Winter

Just half an hour later in the hallway, Mark and Winter sat on the floor, their backs up against the wall. The only two people out there, they whispered together in the silence.

“You think she enjoyed herself tonight?” Mark asked her.

Winter chuckled quietly, “If her facial reaction is anything to go by… then yeah I think she liked it.”

Inside the dorm room, Natalie was already fast asleep, exhausted from the night’s activities. The two outside shared a quiet moment together, discussing what had just occurred inside.

“I didn’t want to say it in front of Nat but it sure was nice to hear you pick me to marry in that game tonight,” Winter quietly spoke to him.

“Well, what can I say. I haven’t felt as close to anyone else as I have to you. If that wasn’t true, I never would have slept with you that night when I was dating Tiff.”

Winter’s face squinted slightly, “We spoke the other day, you know, about that infamous night.”

“Yeah I know, she told me earlier tonight. I’m glad we could just move on from all of this. It’s been at the back of my mind all semester and I’m sure it’s been the same for you girls too.”

Winter nodded, she felt like Tiffany deep inside her hated her guts and that Mark didn’t have any feelings towards her whatsoever. Although she wasn’t going to start a relationship with him right now, she did feel at peace.

“Can I ask you something?” Mark asked her.

“Shoot.”

“You’ve gotten me off a couple of times lately but if we did it… if we fucked right now, would it be fine for you? No strings attached?” he asked her.

“You want to go again right now?”

“No I don’t mean just this second but you know, this week or next week or something, what would happen?”

She didn’t take long to reply to him, “I can honestly say I don’t know. But being around you again makes me happy. So if it happens, it happens, I just can’t guarantee what my feelings would be after we do it, does that make sense?”

“Yeah, yeah, I get that, but I feel the same about that, it’s nice just being able to talk to you again, I’ve missed you,” he told her.

“I’ve missed you too?” she replied.

The two let their hands meet in between each other. Mark held her hand in his, “I should probably get some sleep, I’ve got a game tomorrow on the road.”

“Sure,” she said, smiling before the two got off the ground, they hugged each other tightly before Mark let her go.

“Oh uh, Good luck tomorrow Mark, I’m proud of you,” she said as he started to head to bed.

All he could do was smile. What a day. What a night.
