Vincent: *stares down at his pendant, at the gift Cora had given him, letting his fingers play over it, thinking to himself* Tonight.... I will tell her...
Cora: *crawls on the bed, smiling* Time for bed~~! Are you ready?
V: I still need to get changed...*to himself* Dont be a coward....not anymore.... But first... Cora I have something to tell you.
Cora: No no! Wait!! I have something to tell you first! It's a secret~
V: A secret?
Cora: *begins to roll down her stocking* Well not really to tell you... more to show you. You shared with me about your sister.... so I'd like to share something with you now too.
Cora: *sits her bare foot in his lap* Ta-dah. I have kept them hidden for so long... you've never asked so.. I never thought to tell... to be honest I am a little embarassed....
Vincent: *is a little taken back, staring down at her feet, at the scars that mar her flesh, he hesitates, not out of disgust but of concern, that his touch will cause her pain* Oh Cora.....
V: You dont have to be embarrassed.... was this from before you came here? I know Eden told me your feet were bleeding when you arrived.... but she never mentioned anything like this...
Cora: To be honest... I have no idea. Isn't it strange though... I have never scarred or even stayed wounded very long and yet I have these terrible scars on my feet.... I wish I could remember what happened... but I just can't... pretty disgusting and horrific isn't it?
V: Its not disgusting.... you would you think the same of my eye.... it's just something that makes us.... unique... a little characteristic to make us different from the rest...
Cora: *wiggles her feet in his lap* I've kept them covered for so long... I am sorry to not seem more trusting about it.
V: You don't have to be sorry.... you just weren't ready.... not then... to trust me with something like this... *reaches out, softly caressing her feet as he speaks*
Cora: *giggles, teasing* Now I feel all naked! How embarassing!
V: *teases though turns a little red* Maybe you should just take off the rest of your clothes then.
Cora: Oh you are just being a terrible scoundrel today!! I just don't know what I should do with you!!
Cora: Shame.. *pokes her with his foot* on... *poke* you.. *poke*!! *rubs her foot around on his shirt* You strip first and then we can negotiate.
V: No I need to talk with you first...
Cora: *lays back on the bed, still teasing* Talk talk talk talk.
Vincent: *chuckles and smiles* Well the sooner we get the talking done.... *feels cheeks redden for a moment and he loses his train of thought*
Cora: If you are going to talk about early today... you don't have to.. *smiles at him* There is nothing to explain at all.
V: No... this.... well it partly does have to do with earlier.... but it's not...really that...
Cora: You already know how I feel about it. I have to tell you though V... something strange happened...
Vincent: *listens to her, his hand resting on hers, letting her speak*
Cora: Vaieh's cousin.... Bhudo... I was his soulcall... he and I... he has a heart of mine... and-
Vincent: *reaches out, his hand lifts to Cora's lips, interrupting her as she speaks* Hey now... this is my turn to tell you.... you already did one... so it's my turn.
Cora: But V it's really important and you might want to know about my other relationship if you are going to make kissing me a habit..
V: And what if I want to make a habit of something more?
Cora: *not realizing the seriousness of the conversation* You might not want to... knowing that I love him too...
V: Yet it seems.... he doesn't care that you love me as well.... so what does it matter.... I understand this soulcall thing... from what I've talked to Sin about it.... there's nothing wrong with it... because...
V: Because I love you too... *presses his lips against hers, kissing her softly, passionately*
Cora: ...!!!!!
Cora: *pulls away reluctantly, her eyes wide* What... what did you say just now...?
V: *whispers softly* That I'm a stubborn old fool.... and I'm sorry for everything.... and that I love you *kissing her forehead*
Cora: *puts her hand over her eyes, the tears falling fast and freely* Oh... Oh V... Oh I love you too... I love you so much... the words have burned my tongue a million times these past five years... I've waited so long... for this moment... *sobs harder* It was worth every minute....
Vincent: *wraps his arms around her, holding her close to him as she cries, feeling her tears soaking into the material of his shirt* I'm sorry it took so long...
Cora: It doesn't matter.... it doesn't matter at all... I love you so much... I've loved you all this time and I always will...
V: Cora... *pulling her tight against him* you can't possibly know the guilt I feel... I have been so foolish.... so so foolish...
Cora: No V... sooner would have been no good if you weren't sure... I have been patient and my happiness is full knowing that it has all been worth it...
Cora: *whispering against his lips* My heart is so full... it feels like it might burst...
V: Mine is too.... I can hardly believe it.
Cora: Say it to me again... tell me I'm not dreaming...
Vincent: I love you Cora.... I love you... I swear it... now and always
Cora: *pulls him back on top of her, her lips caressing his sensually* I want you.. all of you... please...
V: *turns a deeper red* I want that too....
Cora: Are you sure...?
V: Yes... completely.
((Look for part two tomorrow!!))
