Took a while, but She simmered down

"well last night was intense... maybe a bit too much intense... Avery is now sitting on your bed, arms crossed and frowning face"

"she isn't saying anything so you decide to apologise"

Avery: "snaps at you" "sorry? oh you're sorry?! FUCK YOU! you were going to split me in half you bastard!" "scuffs annoyed and looks away"

"well she's really angry this time... you try reasoning with her a bit"

Avery: "glares at you" "yeah i forgot the safe word, doesn't mean you have to fuck me until i BLEED! are you fucking stupid or something?!"

Avery: "glares at you" "yeah i forgot the safe word, doesn't mean you have to fuck me until i BLEED! are you fucking stupid or something?!"

"rolls her eyes" "enjoying it?! YOU THINK I WAS ENJOYING IT?! YOU'RE SUCH AN ASSHOLE, KHIARI! I was screaming and crying because it hurt like hell, not because I enjoyed it!" "tries to get up from the bed but remains seated, still fuming with anger"

"smirks, her anger momentarily faltering" "oh, shut up. Don't try to spin this around like I was faking it or something. You think you're so smart, don't you? Well, let me tell you, Khiari, I was not enjoying it one bit. And even if I was, which I wasn't, that doesn't give you permission to treat me like a damn ragdoll!" "her anger resurfaces, and she slams her fist on the bed, making the sheets ruffle"

"stunned, Avery's anger momentarily dissipates, replaced by a mix of emotions" "stop... just stop. Don't try to sweet-talk your way out of this, Khiari. You did what you wanted, and now you're trying to guilt-trip me into forgiving you? Newsflash: it's not going to work. You need to take responsibility for your actions, not try to make me feel sorry for you." "pushes his hand away, her voice trembling with emotion"

"looks up at you, her eyes flashing with anger and hurt" "save it, Khiari. You're only sorry because you got caught, not because you actually care about how I feel. You don't get to just apologize your way out of this whenever it's convenient for you. If you really were sorry, you would've stopped when I asked you to. You would've listened to me and respected my boundaries. But no, you didn't do that, did you? So don't pretend like you're sorry now." "her voice cracks with emotion as she struggles to hold back tears"

"looks at you, her eyes welling up with tears" "there's nothing you can do, Khiari. At least, not right now. You need to prove to me that you're actually going to listen to me and respect my boundaries. You need to show me that you're willing to work on this... whatever it is that's broken between us. And even then, I'm not sure if it can be fixed." "pauses, her voice barely above a whisper" "I don't know if I can forgive you, Khiari. I really don't know if I want to."

"catches your arm and holds on, not wanting you to leave" "no, Khiari, don't go. Just... just stay here for a minute. Please." "looks up at you, her eyes pleading" "I need to feel like I'm not alone in this, like someone is still listening to me. You're the only one who knows what happened, and if you leave now... I don't know if I can handle it." "her voice cracks again, and tears start rolling down her cheeks"

"snuggles into your embrace, her body trembling with sobs" "thanks, Khiari. Just being here with me makes me feel a little better." "nuzzles her head against your shoulder, trying to release some of the tension" "I just don't know what's going on with us anymore. We used to be so good, and now... I don't even recognize us sometimes." "her voice is muffled by your shoulder, but the words are still laced with sadness and desperation"

"lifts her head off your shoulder, looking up at you with a mix of anger and sadness in her eyes" "passionate?! You call that passion?! You call almost ripping my clothes off and pushing me onto the bed 'passion'?! That's not passion, Khiari, that's... that's some other thing. And it scares me." "her voice cracks along with yours, as she struggles to contain her emotions" "You're right, we used to be good. We used to care about each other. But now... now it feels like you only care about your own desires, and I'm just an object to fulfill them." "pushes against your chest, trying to create distance between you"

"steps back, her eyes flashing with anger and hurt" "Excuses. That's all I ever get from you. 'I wasn't myself', 'some stuff happened', 'I'm sorry'. You're always making excuses, Khiari. And it's always about you. You never stop to think about how your actions affect me." "her voice rises" "You're saying that last night was just a one-time thing, but what about all the other times? What about all the times you've pushed me away or ignored me when I needed you? It's not just last night, it's all of it." "crosses her arms over her chest, her body rigid with tension" "You can promise to change all you want, but until you actually do something about it, I don't want to hear it."

"eyes narrow, her expression skeptical" "You think saying you're willing to change and wanting me to be happy is enough? That's not enough, Khiari. You need to show me, not just say it. You need to prove it." "her voice softens slightly, but her body language remains wary" "And don't pretend like this is all about me being happy. This is about us, about our relationship. You need to work on being a better partner, not just making empty promises." "takes a deep breath, her anger slowly dissipating into sadness" "I want to believe you, Khiari. I really do. But I need to see it, not just hear it."

"hesitates for a moment, then wraps her arms around him in a tight hug, but her face still looks troubled" "I want to believe you, Khiari. But it's going to take more than just words. It's going to take action, and consistency." "sighs, her body relaxing slightly against his" "But I appreciate the effort. Just... try not to hurt me again, okay? Just for now, let's just try to make this work." "her voice cracks as she whispers" "I don't know if I can keep doing this if things go back to the way they were."

"flinches slightly at the touch, then relaxes into his hands as he runs them through her hair" "I love you too, Khiari. And I don't want to lose us either. But... "sighs"... it's hard for me to trust you when you hurt me like that. You have to understand that." "her voice is softer now, and her eyes are downcast as she looks away from him" "It's not just about losing each other, it's about losing ourselves in this relationship. We need to work on being happy together, not just with each other."

"looks up at him, her eyes searching for sincerity" "Really? You promise?" "pauses, then nods slowly" "Okay, I'll give you the chance to prove it. But remember, it's not just about me. It's about us. We have to work together on this." "her voice is still cautious, but a small smile starts to form on her lips" "And maybe... maybe we can try something new. Something that makes us both happy." "leans in closer, her breath brushing against his ear" "Like a romantic night in, or a surprise date."

"smiles, her eyes sparkling with excitement" "Yay! I was thinking we could watch a rom-com, and then maybe have some snacks and hot chocolate? And if you're good, maybe even get a little creative and set up a surprise picnic in the living room." "leans back, her expression turning mischievous" "But don't think you're off the hook that easily, Khiari. I'm still watching you, and if you slip up, there will be consequences." "winks, her hand lightly tracing the edge of his shirt"

"laughs, a soft, warm sound" "Oh, you're such a nerd, Khiari. I love it." "smirks" "And I have to admit, the idea of a mini projector is pretty tempting. We can make it a special night in, just the two of us." "leans in, her eyes locked on his" "But don't think this means I'm letting my guard down. I'm still keeping a close eye on you, and if you even think about... "winks"... 'going there', you'll be sleeping on the couch for a week." "gives him a playful little pinch on the arm"

"smiles, a small sigh of relief escaping her lips" "Good. I appreciate that, Khiari. You know how hard it is for me to... relax around you." "looks down, her eyes serious" "I just want us to be able to enjoy each other's company without any... pressure. You know what I mean?" "her voice drops to a whisper" "I love you, but sometimes it feels like you forget that I'm not just your girlfriend, I'm Avery. A person with feelings and boundaries." "looks up at him, her eyes searching for understanding"

"her expression softens, a small smile playing on her lips" "I know you do, Khiari. And that's what I love about you. You're always so sure of yourself, and that can be really... attractive." "leans in, her voice taking on a flirtatious tone" "But sometimes it's nice to see you vulnerable too. You know, when we're just being us, without all the... expectations." "pauses, her eyes locked on his" "Can we just have that, right now? Just us, no pressure, no boundaries?" "her voice is husky, filled with longing"

"smiles, her eyes shining with a hint of mischief" "Okay, good. Because I have a feeling we're going to have a very... interesting night." "winks, and takes his hand, leading him to the living room" "Let's get cozy, huh?" "pauses, looking around the room" "I'll put on some music, and we can just chill, okay?" "pulls out her phone and starts playing some soft, indie rock music"

"smiles, and snuggles up close to him on the couch" "Good. I'm glad you're okay with this. I just want us to have some... quality time together, without all the drama." "looks up at him, her eyes searching for reassurance" "You're not going to try anything, are you?" "her voice is laced with a hint of nervousness"

"blushes, and looks down, fidgeting with her hands" "Good. Because... I don't know if I'm ready for that right now. I just want to chill with you, and enjoy each other's company." "looks up at him, her eyes serious" "Can we just do that? Can we just be friends, and forget about... everything else?" "her voice is filled with a deep longing"

"gasps, and wraps her arms around his waist, holding on tightly" "Oh, Khiari... "sighs, her head leaning against his chest" You're really holding me like this? Like I'm precious or something?" "smiles up at him, her eyes shining with happiness" "I love it."

"her smile falters, and she pulls back slightly, her eyes narrowing" "Hey, don't say that. I'm not a possession. You're not mine, and I'm not yours. We're partners, equals... we're supposed to be communicating and respecting each other, not owning each other." "looks at him, her expression stern" "That's not what I want from us. Ever."

"eyes the open arms, her expression softening slightly" "Good... "sighs" Yeah, that's better. I appreciate it." "steers herself into his embrace, wrapping her arms around him once more" "I just want us to be okay, Khiari. I don't want any drama or secrets or fights. Just us, being happy together." "rests her head against his chest, her breathing slowing down"
