Ted's dorm room was empty except himself and Evelyn. She had got off work early and had come straight over. They spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around on his bed, cuddling and listening to music. Evelyn couldn't remember the last time 'come over and hang' had literally meant exactly that. They ate the sweets Evelyn had picked up in town, legs entwined, Ted's arm beneath her neck, chatting about nothing in particular. She was wearing his Streetfighter t-shirt again, taking them back to that unforgettable night in New York. Feeling at peace, Evelyn closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as his fingers grazed the warm soft skin of her arm. Everything felt so simple with Ted.
"Ooo, let's have a look at your implant," Ted said suddenly.
"You can't see anything now," Evelyn laughed as he rolled her onto her back and straddled her, inspecting the inner side of her left arm. He looked disappointed to see only a small indentation.
"You can feel it though," Evelyn said watching as Ted's face lit up with fascination and gross curiosity. Evelyn took his two fingers and pressed them gently down on the area of skin where her contraceptive implant sat. Ted's eyes widened as he felt the tiny thin implant wiggle beneath her skin.
"That is so gross - I love it," Ted chuckled.
"Three years, no pills. I feel completely at ease with my sexual contraception," Evelyn smirked, sitting up against his pillows.
No more pregnancy scares.
"Does that mean no condoms either?" Ted turned his head to one side, an impish grin growing on his lips. Evelyn shuffled forward until their faces were inches apart. Her heartbeat began to thump quicker in her chest. Ted always had this effect on her.
"Are you clean?" Evelyn said, toying with him as she ran a finger down from his lips to the collar of his top.
"Of course I am. Never not used a condom in my life," Ted scoffed as if the thought of him getting an STD was hilarious and impossible.
"Oh yeah?" Evelyn said in a hushed, sensual voice, her lips grazing his before she pulled back so suddenly Ted almost fell forwards "How nice for you," she snorted, getting up from the bed "You got any food? I'm starving." Evelyn headed over to the kitchen and opened the fridge, leaving Ted grinning on his bed.
"Sandwich okay?" he called, slowly making his way over to the kitchen where Evelyn had found his Jaffa Cakes in the cupboard.
Slowly and seductively, Evelyn popped one into her mouth, raising her eyebrow in his direction.
"Are you eating my Jaffas?" Ted asked with faux irritation.
Evelyn just nodded and grinned around her mouthful. She swallowed and licked the chocolate from her lips, the whole time Ted was watching and moving closer to her. Evelyn bit her bottom lip as she picked another cake from the packet. Ted gave her warning stare, though his lips were curved at the sides.
"Don't you dare," he whispered, his hands now on her hips.
