A Hard Night's Rest [For Daaharu]

Sure enough, Lorenza brought her sweet self on over and Carmen sat up to greet her, making the supreme effort of holding her aching body up. She felt like she could collapse at any given seconds, her reserves running on empty, but she could stay awake long enough for one last push. Especially for that.

"I just want to say 'thank you'. For everything." She breathed in, long and hard, revving herself up. "And as for that prize, well...

Carmen leaned forward and gave Lorenza a smoldering kiss right on the lips, letting it linger for a moment. Part of it was just to take Lorenza by surprise, but even she couldn't deny that the little peck in the ring had left her wanting just a bit more, something to sate her appetite. This would do, in more ways than one. She could just get it out of her system.

"There." She pulled back, smiling wide with the devil's grin. She thwiped Lorenza's nose. "Now we're even."

Lorenza waited patiently as Carmen pulled herself up into a sitting position. The Puerto Rican boxer was obviously exhausted, from both the match and everything that had happened afterwards. Lorenza was dead tired, too, and if she had taken the medicine that Carmen had taken she might be just as wiped out as her rival. As it was, she had at least enough energy to make it back to her own room. But it seemed as if Carmen was expending every last ounce of her strength to give Lorenza her present.

That present turned out to be a hot, smoldering kiss on the lips. Lorenza couldnâ€t say that she was completely surprised that her sister had acquired a taste for her lips after the quick peck in the ring, though she was surprised that Carmen had actually given her that kiss. Lorenza would reciprocate the kiss for all of the two seconds it lasted, then smiled as Carmen pulled away.

“Youâ€re welcome. For everything,” Lorenza replied, patting Carmen on the shoulder as the brown-haired woman took a playful swipe at her nose. “Couldnâ€t let my little sister down, you know?” She stood up, wobbling a little as she did, but ultimately managing to steady herself. “Hey, since weâ€ll both be here for at least a couple of days, why donâ€t you stop into my room sometime tomorrow, eh?” she suggested. “We can talk about our tattoos. If you donâ€t like the tramp stamp, maybe we can do a big dragon or tiger or something across tus tetas!” She laughed and made her way to the door, opening it up onto a silent hallway. She turned around and blew Carmen a big kiss.

“Buenas noches, hermana,” she said.

The kiss wasn't too passionate - even if Lorenza had been interested in her like that, Carmen had no intention of following up on it. Certainly not tonight, when she'd probably just doze off before anything could come of it. Even so, it was a great way to end the night, and she couldn't imagine anything she'd rather go to sleep with.

She sighed as Lorenza went on about her tattoos, growing more and more obvious that she'd stepped on a little landmine with that. Lorenza was right about not having anything better to do, though, and if Army couldn't sneak their Xbox in through security, she would be bored to tears. It would be an interesting conversation, if nothing else.

"Yeah, because a tattoo on my tits would be so much better than one on my ass." Carmen stuck her tongue out Lorenza's way and brought her eyes up for a roll, feeling disturbingly like a ten year old girl discussing the finer points of Barbie's hairstyle. "Maybe I'll put a bullseye on my ribs, so you can stand a better chance of hitting it, next time, huh?"

She closed her eyes and sank into the pillow, feeling more content and peaceful than she could have ever dreamed of three hours ago. Satisfied and safe. "Buenos noches."
