Chapter 2
She stayed up far too late,
She saw 3 am, then 4 am and finally it was at 5am when she finally put the phone down. The bed seemed to embrace her body as soon as she laid and she was gone to the world
Allura ❤️
Morning ro, sorry I kept you up rather late
Romelle groaned in her bed when she heard the phone vibrate against her bedside table, she pushed herself upwards looking over to pidges bed to see lance had left her alone. She huffed slightly and picked up her phone to read the text from allura.
While she had expected something from lance or pidge or even shay she was happy to see allura had thought of her. She smiled and fumbled over some sort of reply
Oh nahhhhhhhhh Is cool, don’t have classes today
Dam it she sounded drunk.
She was about to delete it and pretend it didn’t happen…….BUT allura had already seen it.
Romelle looked down at her phone before flopping backwards into her bed “Oh quiznack” she sighed and just waited for her phone to vibrate next to her leg- she couldn’t help but notice the heat that was rushing towards her checks, whether it was from embarrassment or the actual heat of the morning she couldn’t tell
She was taking her sweet time to reply
Well romelle had probably managed to scare her off
Allura ❤️
Aha Think you need a morning coffee, U up to much today, in need of an excuse for coffee date
a*
Romelle slowly raised herself up to pick up her phone and read what had been sent. She had to go over it a few times before finally letting it sink in…..date ?
Yep it was embarrassment that made her so red.
Oh i’m not doing anything ALL day so Im down, i can drag you to my favourite place
Now she couldn’t stop herself from smiling especially as she got herself out of the bed and fell about the room trying to get herself changed. She went through all of her outfits trying to decide one that would work, most of them seemed to casual but at the same time she didn’t want to over dress
Allura ❤️
AHAHAHA I get that, the boys are both doing stuff with their partners and I’m like just sat here being the lonely single
She walked over to her bed wearing a shirt over her underwear and replied, making an attempt to write a much more structured reply
Does your group call you the token single too then?
Allura ❤️
Mostly lotor, been a rough 5 months of teasing from them
Aww 5 months, still sting ?
Allura ❤️
Nahhhhhhhhh Nyma is a complete whore and the guy who she glomped onto can keep her
Her?
Why did that seem to make romelle so happy?
She looked over at her own memo board where matt had effectionaly stuck up a small lesbian flag after she came out. She tried to squint so she could see a note left but it wasn’t working.
So I’m assuming you’re BI ?
Allura ❤️
Who isn’t these days??????
But yeah I am
Romelle looked at herself in the mirror and put her hand on her hip. She didn’t normally wear the acid washed band shirts but she was seriously feeling this look after last night. The baggy light blue jeans seemed to balance out the potential emo
Tru tru
Except me, I’m female exclusive
She locked the room and sent allura the location.
In the hallway she and pidge passed, she had a new hoodie on and seemed to have it pulled completely covering her neck “good night” she asked raising her eyebrow as they passed
“Always is after a show” she replied before disappearing into the hallway, probably not to be seen for a few hours. Romelle smiled slightly as she walked towards the lift, one awkward ride with a teacher later she practically sprinted off of the campus and was In town within half an hour.
The weather was nice today, the sun was blessing the ground and most everything in the way. A soft breeze hit romelle and picked up bits of her hair as the coffee shop came into view. She smoothed her hair down as she walked into the shop, she smiled at the barista who was working before walking to a table.
It was a slow Saturday from the looks of it,only a few of the tables had been taken up by customers and the nose was low- often coming from the machines that were brewing coffee. To an extent romelle preferred the shop when it was like this, the shop smelt natural
As natural as a building where coffee was constantly being made.
She set herself down near the doors view and started reaching around her bag for her phone, it had decided to go straight to the bottom underneath everything else in her bag. She groaned when she finally got to it and checked her phone to see if she had been massaged at all
Lancey_lou
SOOOOOOOOOOO lotor spilt some tea about allura, did you know she's BI?
Romelle looked down at the phone and had to giggle slightly with a slight knowing smirk on her face as she typed up some sort of reply
Oh yeah I been knew
We were talking PRETTY late
She looked up seeing a shadow appear over the table “Oh hey stranger” she said with a slight smile
Allura looked just as good as she had last night even if she had a much more toned down look to herself- she had her hair in a cute bun with a red bandana keeping it out of her face, she had gone simple with a large and old looking band shirt and fishnets underneath. “Is this seat taken” she asked moving her bag down her shoulder slightly whilst biting her lip slightly
“Well I had invited this guy to meet me but he stood me up” romelle joked moving the chair Infront of her with her foot slightly. The two girls exchanged smiles before allura sat herself down “How are you” she asked raising her eyebrow slightly
“Refreshed after my 5 hour nap” she replied slipping her bag onto the floor “Sorry I kept you up so long last night”
“Nahhh I had fun talking to you, It's nice to talk to someone who understands me on some level”
Allura laughed softly before noticing some girl looking at them “We should probably get something to drink”
Romelle nodded at her slightly before returning to reality and made a weird nodding motion at her. She internally sighed before getting up and going to order.
“The regular?”
Romelle sheepishly nodded
“Mocha latte with cream please”Allura said from behind her, romelle could practically feel allura breathing on her which sent chills up romelles spine. Those chills brought images into romelles mind which she quickly shook away- mostly distracted by allura reaching around her to hand over the money to pay for her coffee.
Romelle went slightly red and had to look away from the girls arm, she tried to focus on something in the shop
Anything.
The coffee machine is what peaked her interest, mainly because it was steaming- she felt as if she could feel the heat coming off of the machine, her whole body seemed to go hot whilst looking at the machine.
She jumped feeling allura tap her shoulder, she had to turn so she could face her. She was pretty sure she couldn’t hide the fact that she was red in the face so she would very much have some explaining to do. Allura didn’t say anything instead just making a small pointing motion towards the counter.
She sighed and turned around again, she took the coffee and the two returned to the table in silence.
“You feeling ok, you didn’t say anything while we were waiting” allura said as she sat down, she put her hand on romelles which once again made heat rush to romelles face
Quick think of an excuse
“Oh uh yeah sorry I’m not good with people” she said stuttering over her words slightly before forcing a smile, allura returned the smile which romelle couldn’t help but copy. “It’s not you don’t worry”
“Its cool, people are scary” allura commented moving her hand to move a piece of romelles hair behind her ear, “You don’t have to worry though, I'm an outgoing girl, attention is normally on me”
She stifled a laugh slightly before going to take a sip of her drink “So what made you want to do art? I'm surprised you’re parents didn’t discourage it”
Romelle awkwardly played with a bracelet she was wearing before looking up at her “Mum's one of those free spirit type people and dad’s not been in the picture for a while. Besides Bandor is the sciencey child.” she replied
“Dad flipped when I dropped out of college”
“Why did you drop out? Sorry I’ve never met someone who dropped out”
“I found my love of music and moved towns” she shrugged looking down into her coffee “I wasn’t loving the course I had taken anyway”
“Oh?”
“I took a course about physics, It was never for me more my parents” she sighed and looked off to the side before looking back at romelle “Never mind though, Im happy now”
“You really seem it when you’re on stage”
“It feels like the one place where the real allura comes out, I'm always trying to please someone when Im with people” she looked down again into her coffee
Romelle wasn’t thinking and tipped alluras chin upwards “You can always be yourself around me,I have no reason to judge you anyways” Allura smiled at her putting her hand on romelles for a second.
It was around the late afternoon when they finally decided to leave, allura had a songwriting session with lotor and keith in an hour- In her own words she could show up whenever to it but she was too nice to lotor to be late which made romelle laugh slightly.
“So how long have you known Matt?” allura asked as they walked through the local park,she stopped every so often so allura could take a few photos. Allura was apparently the one who took the flower photos for her background.
“Oh he’s kinda the first friend I made when I moved here” romelle replied watching her crouch down to take a photo of the roses, she smiled slightly and once again tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
“He’s mentioned you a few times” she said looking down at the photo for a second before turning to look at her “It’s nice to finally put a face to the name, Must sting that he came out”
“Honestly, nah I came out soon after” she replied as they started walking again, they walked across the bridge and stopped to look at the water “Besides I know he’s happy with shiro anyway”
Allura giggled at her slightly before they left the park and unfortunately had to part ways, romelle gave her a small smile before allura started walking away. She turned back slightly and winked at her before going back to walking home.
Romelle covered her mouth so no one could see how wide or big or stupid her smile was but dam she couldn’t help it.
She jumped feeling her phone buz in her pocket
[Allura-photos] accepted your follow request
Ezor-ro-
HEY! You probably don’t remember me but you bumped into me at the battle of the bands thing. I'm the girl with the long hair, turns out I go to your college and do the course , though we could talk.
Romelle looked down at her phone and smiled, she looked over the message from ezor and shrugged deciding there was no harm in replying
Hey!
I’d love to start talking, so you do art?
That night romelle spent it texting allura, she was wrapped in her covers with a movie on in the background. Pidge had passed out hours ago after going full ham on studying and little sleep
There was only so much cans of monster could do before the human body actually needed to sleep.
Romelle payed pidge no mind instead keeping herself focused on her phone
Allura
Performing is like my drug, I need it
Romelle had been biting her lip for the past hour now, she could stop herself from thinking about how close allura had been to her today, her chest was practically pressed up against romelles back and she could feel her breathing on her neck.
Awww so you’re a junkie
For performing
Even just thinking about it brought the chills back but what was worse was where her mind went just thinking of it again.
Allura
Well that and sex
Romelle played with her own hair and tugged on it slightly, she needed to stop thinking about this girl like this…..she didn’t even know her all too well.
At the same time though she just loved the feeling of pretending they had something.
fairs
Got any other vices?
She rolled over onto her back holding the phone above her face, she stopped biting her lip finally. She also removed her hand from her own hair but she could still feel the ghost of someone's breath on her neck
Allura
Should probably see someone about how much vodka I have in my apartment
She had to smile at that, there's one excuse she could use someday to get to see her apartment
Dam that sounded really creepy
I'll come over and drink it
It wouldn’t be that embarrassing if she got drunk around allura really, she was the dancey type before just passing out on someones bed- not like any secrets would come out anyway
She looked up at the time and nearly jumped once again seeing 3AM
Sorry I gotta sleep, talk later
Allura
Sweet dreams, darling
At around 9:45 Lance called her, romelle had to groan into her pillow hearing her ringtone, she assumed it was her alarm or something so she thought it would shut up eventually
It did
Then he called her again.
She groaned before getting up and picking up the phone, she glared down at the picture of lance at her at some festival before swiping
“It’s 9:45 on a sunday,” she said monotoned kicking the bedcovers off of her and got up walking towards her wardrobe
“Just checking you are actually awake, last week we were waiting for 3 hours” Lance replied and she could practically hear the smirk in his voice. Romelle rolled her eyes and waved at the pidge.
“I'm sorry but you woke me at 4 in the morning to check out someone's post” she replied, getting herself a glass of water.
“That was highly important”
“And so is my sleep”
She looked in her wardrobe for something she could wear, Sunday was always just a casual day when it comes to clothing.Even the normally flashy lotor dresses himself down slightly.
“See you in an hour then?”
She sighed and nodded- which he couldn’t have seen so really she couldn’t understand why she had done it “Yes I will see you in an hour”
And with that he had hung up
“So lance is being lance again” Pidge asked getting up from her computer, romelle just shrugged in response as she picked out a simple vest and a pair of jeans
“All because I slept in last week” she replied rolling her eyes getting herself down to her underwear
Pidge just shrugged “You will never live that down” she said smirking slightly before going back to playing a game, probably with Matt
--------------------------
“Sorry for getting all arsey on the phone” lance said as romelle sat down in front of the couple, lotor was SERIOUSLY dressed down today. His hair was still in a pony tail and all he was wearing was a black shirt and jeans. Lance was worse, a hoodie and very old jeans.
“Its whatever, I was pretty late last week” she replied shrugging “You already ordered”
Lance nodded slowly which prompted romelle to reach into her bag for her purse so she could hand over the $10 for her share of the food. She shrugged her hair off her shoulders “So how has your weekend been?” she asked, raising her eyebrow, lotor wasn’t hiding anything when it came to his neck, lance was too shy about it.
“Just kinda watched movies all yesterday until band” lotor replied
“We managed to get all of the hunger games movies watched in one sitting,ironically eating a lot while watching them” lance said jumping in whilst pushing his hair back slightly “You?”
“Oh uh nothing, just kinda finished the book I was reading” she shrugged, choosing to leave out the fact that she had been with Allura and then her activities last night. Probably would be awkward around lotor.
“You really need to get out a bit more ro” lance said as lotor put his hand on lances thigh “There is such a good party scene around here, could even grab yourself a cute girl”
Romelle tried to mock offense “I am perfectly capable of getting a girl”
“You’ve been single for nearly 2 years”
“So?”
Lotor awkwardly excused himself to go for a smoke break, romelle watched him walk out and by the time he was out of ear shot she turned to lance with a stupid smile on her face “I lied, I’ve spent my weekend with allura”
“Should have known you were going to fall for her”
“We just kinda….. Well we just kind of clicked” she said blushing and pushing her hair behind her ear “I haven’t felt like this for a while, I don’t actually know what to do”
“Keep going and see where It goes” he replied raising his eyebrow slightly and smirking at her slightly “Or you could get seriously drunk”
“What and pass out on her sofa”
Her phone dinged in her bag, lance looked at her for a second before motioning to her to check it. She nodded at him slowly before going to check
Allura
Awww cute outfit,One sec letme get one for you
[Image}
Romelles face went rather red, allura had been lovely enough to send her a picture of her in some sort of lacey piece,she was sat on some double bed clearly loving the lighting
Sorry i was trying something on that came in the mail
Romelle fumbled with the phone with her reply
Looks pretty good on you, meeting someone?
She looked up at lance and no doubt he could see the red tint to her face. She sighed “She sent me a picture of her in a lacey bra and panties with stockings” she said deadpanned
“I walked in at the wrong point,” lotors voice said, making all three of them laugh.
All round it was a good rest of the day
