Part Three
“What have I done?” Merlot asked herself outloud. Her voice was hushed. She tossed on a t-shirt and threw a wayward back glance at her bed. It’s covers and comforters had slid off the bed and landed on the floor.
On the right-hand side lay a naked Raven Romero.
Merlot shook her head and made her way to the bathroom. Gently, she turned the knob on the cold water. She let it run and be she scooped some up and tossed in her face. She grabbed a washcloth for drying purposes. After that was done, she took a seat on the carpeted floor.
“Am I a bad person?” She asked the question out loud, as if someone might answer her. “My involvement with Kendra-chan, it was...well, I don’t know what it was. It certainly wasn’t a relationship―she made that clear many times. It was, I don’t know, a mutually beneficial agreement. We agreed to use each other.”
Merlot let out a sigh. “Even though it wasn’t a relationship, it was ‘something.’ Is it right for me to be moving on so fast? Only been a couple weeks since I moved out.” She stretched her legs out a bit. “Was not my intention to sleep with Raven. We were just going to train. But, then one thing lead to another. We started to talk; I felt the attraction. Now, here we are.”
Merlot rose up. She stepped over to her mirror. “What does this make me? A whore? A slut?” She shook her head. “Merlot is―”
“A strong woman.”
Merlot froze up a bit. A little monologue must have been a bit louder than she thought. Raven walked up behind her.
“Merlot Ayano is a strong woman. Sure, she is quiet, and sometimes she can be shy. But, overall, she is strong. The reason she is strong, is because she went after what she wanted.” Raven took a couple of steps closer. “And no, Merlot Ayano is not a bad person. Merlot is a woman who was in a difficult situation, and she did her best to make it work. Now, she needs to relax and have some fun. That doesn’t make her a ho’ or a slut; it means she liberated.” Raven put her arms around Merlot’s waist. “I’ve only known you for a couple of days, but I can tell that you are a good person, through and through. That’s what attracted me to you. You don’t have to feel bad about a thing; I’m here because I want to be, and because I love your company.”
The two were silent for a while. Merlot appreciated Raven’s embrace, and the warmth of her skin. After a couple of moments, Raven piped up.
“Do you want me to leave? If you are uncomfor―”
“No,” Merlot said. “Stay...please.”
