Aria looked over at Sonata and gave her a soft kiss, but said nothing.

"Was it too soon?" Sonata asked, worried she'd screwed up their relationship. Stupid, I knew I should have kept my mouth shut, first time playing dom and I've already fucked up! Sonata mentally berated herself.

"Thinking so hard's not a good look for you, ya spaz," Aria teased, trying to move passed the subject.

Sonata looked away from Aria. "You don't love me, do you?" She spoke softly, or at least she thought she did, it was hard to tell with her heart pounding the way it was.

Yes I do, that's all you'd have to say, and this would be over. Aria shook her head slightly. She couldn't lie about that. "I... I don't know how I feel yet, I mean I like you, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for more than that."

"You don't have to justify it, who could love a total spaz like me, right?" Sonata huffed as bitterness crept into her voice.

"I didn't mean it like that and you know it. We have fun together, isn't that enough?"

"No, it's not enough, I want to be your's and I want you to be mine. I'm tired of just being a steady piece of ass you can come back to when you're done fooling around."

"I don't do that anymore, I haven't slept with anyone else since we got rainbow blasted," Aria said in an attempt to cool her girlfriend down.

Sonata sighed, “could you go on and head out Aria? I need some time to myself."

"But I've still got thirty minutes..." Aria bit back the rest of her words and nodded, getting dressed. She took one more look a Sonata before opening the trailer door. "I really have changed," she half whispered to herself.

Once she was certain Aria was gone Sonata curled into herself, she felt so empty now, when mere moments ago she was the happiest she'd ever been.... Emotions suck.

Aria pulled out a cigarette, she kept several hidden in her clothes since Sonata didn't like her smoking, and put it between her lips before lighting it. She was trying to quit, but she was glad she had this one, she needed it after that fight.

Aria felt around her jacket pocket until she felt a small plastic bag, she didn't know what was in it, nor did she care. All she knew was she got paid to make sure someone got it, so it was probably illegal.

After taking the last puff, Aria flicked away the butt of her cigarette and check the prepaid phone her employer gave her. "Still got twenty four minutes to go," she sighed as the cold started to get to her. Not having anything better to do, she figured she'd get some shopping done while she waited, the convenience store was near the drop of spot anyway.

The sliding doors opened and the smell of... Well Aria didn't really know what the smell was, but all convenience stores had it.

"Hey Toasty," she said to a stoned looking twenty something behind the counter.

"Hey Aria," he said in a mellow tone. "What ya after today?"

"Beer and cigarettes," she said as she grabbed a twelve pack of beer from the cooler.

"Thought you were quitting?"

"Yeah, so did I, but I got in a fight with Sonata this morning."

"You know she's just gonna be more upset if she finds out right?" Toasty grabbed a pack of Aria's brand and set it on the counter.

"Yeah, but I'll be more upset if I don't, besides, who's gonna tell her?" Aria cocked an eyebrow.

"Not me, I like my head just where it is, though, maybe get her some of those wine coolers she likes? It's never a bad idea to bring an apology gift."

"I didn't do anything wrong though, I haven't cheated in over two months."

"Oh? So it was something different this time?"

Aria heaved a sigh. "She used the L word this morning... And I didn't say it back."

Toasty walked over to the cooler, and grabbed a six pack of fruity mixed drinks. "You're gonna need em."

"You gonna give me a bag? I still have a delivery to make."

Toasty took the cases of alcohol from Aria, and sacked them before handing her the cigarettes, which she tucked into her pocket, her jacket lifting up just enough to show the handle of a gun.

"Why do you always get the cheap beer when you steal it?" Toasty asked befuddled.

"Cause I'm just nice like that," Aria said as she walked out the door.

After making her delivery, Aria headed back to her shitty trailer. She reached up for the handle, it was locked. "Sonata, open up, it's freezing out here," Aria pleaded.

"Sonata isn't home right now," she said back, she was still laying in bed.

"Come on Sonata, I'm not kidding, my nipples are gonna break off if I'm out here any longer," Aria huffed before leaning against the door and lighting another cigarette, her plea was met with silence.

"I got those fruity drinks you like." She still heard nothing from inside. "Look... About this morning, you caught me off guard, I..." Aria took a deep breath. "I'm still coming to terms with these new emotions, I still feel so much guilt for what I put you through, I don't deserve your love."

There is a noise inside the trailer before the door opens, and Sonata steps out. Aria goes to speak but Sonata cuts her off with a kiss, before taking the cigarette from Aria and tossing it. "Your mistress doesn't like it when you taste like an ashtray, now get your ass inside and prepare to worship me like the pathetic little whore you are," Sonata gave Aria a faint smile. Aria smiled back and went inside.

Author's Note

Something a little different. I figured after years of waiting, it was finally time to hop back over and see how these two were doing. Hope you all enjoyed it.
