Drew wasn't sure that he was very comfortable with that. He'd feel much better about the situation if she was sure and wouldn't change her mind half way through. And then what happened after that? Would she get mad at him for pushing her? What if she changed her mind back? How would he know?
He thought that maybe he could go slow though, slower than he had been. That way she could stop him before it got too far and he'd know where the new line was. But what if... what if he went so slow she didn't realize he had crossed the line until he was WAY over it. Then she'd get mad for sure.
Or maybe he was just thinking it over too much.

There wasn't a negative reply, in fact, there wasn't any reply, only the look on his face, and she couldn't figure it out very well. Felicity didn't think he'd cross the line, and if he did, she could always tell him no, she'd done it before, she didn't have a problem with telling him no, and he had always stopped to boot.
But without a negative response, she figured that meant he was all right with it.
Once again, she inched a bit closer to him, as close as she could really get in the positions they were in, and bumped her freckled nose against his before brushing her lips lightly against his. Felicity was all up for trying again, and she was awfully sure she wasn't going to stop him from trying. She'd already had her go at it, and she wanted him to have his.
Pulling back slightly, she looked up in his eyes, to make sure he was all right with it, with her condition. "Yes?"

Her kiss was light and sweet and gave him a bit of confidence over the situation.
"Yeah..." Drew answered with a crooked smile and he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. If she was willing to give it a try, he'd be willing as well. He'd just make sure to take it really slow... or as slow as he could in a situation like that. His brain didn't always function properly in the middle of a good snogging.

A smile was her own answer, and she was awfully happy he was agreeing, though she was sure if he'd said no, she would've been just fine, too. The smile on his face was one of her favourites, so that put her in an even happier mood at that moment. However, it was then that she remembered the light show, and how at first, they'd only had about a half an hour.
Lightly grabbing his hand with the watch on his wrist, she checked the time, they still had fifteen minutes, give or take one. Felicity was pretty sure that would be enough time to try at least.
Getting to her feet, she gently tugged on Drew to stand up straight, thinking it'd probably be more comfortable if they were standing to try again. At least, she'd been quite comfortable before.

When she checked his watch, he too thought of the light show and thought that's where they would be headed, but as she pulled him closer, he realized she wanted to give it a try then and there.
It made him a little nervous, being put on the spot and he smiled sheepishly before giving her a small kiss on the lips. Slowly, he nuzzled her neck, making his way back to her ear, not kissing yet, but just enjoying the sweetness of her smell. "This okay?" he asked carefully, before giving the soft spot behind her ear one gentle kiss.

If Drew thought he was nervous, well...he probably was, but it couldn't have been anything compared to how Felicity was feeling. The butterflies in her stomach were making quick movements again, and that was just from the small kiss he'd placed on her lips, which had quickly landed her arms back around his neck, searching for bits of his hair to run her fingers through.
The nuzzling she was fine with, she enjoyed actually, though she longed to kiss him again. But as soon as he approached her ear, she could feel the muscles in her back tense. "Mmhmm..." she replied, nodding her head just barely to acknowledge a more positive answer. His lips had made contact with that spot of skin, and she immensely liked it, though her body was reacting differently.
Just that soft touch was enough to make her nerves begin to dance more than ever before, and she could feel her body press into him, as though without her telling it to. That was only the beginning too, she didn't even know how to describe what else seemed to happen, how her breath seemed to stop momentarily, how to even begin to describe anything that was going on in her mind. It just seemed right, and she really, really liked just that one little motion.

He had paused, forcing himself to stop and wait for her answer despite the fact that he wanted to keep going. He had felt her tense up in the beginning, almost as if she were waiting for it to hurt and he pulled back a little but not enough to actually lose the smell in her hair.
She hummed an answer and he felt her move closer and he responded with one more kiss, a little longer this time, but still just as soft.

Felicity could feel him pull back, and she hoped he didn't think she was lying to him about it being all right, because it really was. This was just a matter of making herself relax, to force herself to not tense, especially when the blonde knew she wanted him to continue.
Closing her light brown eyes, she concentrated, or tried to, on keeping her body looser, keeping every muscle in her body from balling. Drew touch was soft, she knew that, he was gentle, as per usual, and he was someone she wanted to do this.
As he made contact again, she felt her back tense a bit more, though she really did try fighting it. Whatever the reason was, it didn't want to comply with her request for it to do what she wanted. But it didn't really matter, did it? Drew was showing her what she wanted to know, and she was liking it, even if she was having a few urges to get back at him with it.

She tensed up again and he backed off a little, waiting to see if she would say anything. She didn't, but he still wasn't feeling good about it. It was almost as if she was trying too hard to let it happen. Was she doing it just because he wanted to so badly? If that was the case, he didn't like it. If she wasn't ready, she shouldn't let him cross that line just because he wanted to.
One more time. It was only because she hadn't actually said anything that he tried one more gentle kiss in that sweet spot behind her ear.

With how many times he stopped, Felicity was now wondering whether she had done something wrong when she'd tried. Was there really supposed to be so many pauses? She hadn't thought so, and really when she'd kissed on his neck, all she had wanted to do was continue, she didn't think she would've been able to pull away like that if she'd tried.
But the blonde kept her eyes shut, trying to think of something, anything to keep herself from tensing, it was making it a little less enjoyable because of it. That's when she realized, that while she'd been thinking about his pauses, everything had seemed a bit lax, her back was still fighting what she wanted, but it wasn't tensing anymore, and that's what she really wanted, was for it to relax.
On the other hand, while her body seemed well enough without her concentrating on keeping it from doing something, her lips seemed to want to follow the curve of his jaw, right up to his ear. It was taking a bit of restraint not to just go with it. Even if she did, what would she have done? Felicity had no idea what to do in such a situation, the little, soft kisses were what she knew. What she wanted to know, and from Drew, was if there was anything more. Though she liked the kisses, she liked her lips pressed against his skin, she liked his lips pressed against hers, but was there any more to it?

At least one of them was definitely overthinking the situation and it just wasn't going to happen that way. Drew was finding it hard to work with the lack of spontinaity and while he could tell she wanted to relax, trying just defeated the purpose. And it boiled down to Drew wasn't sure if she wanted to because she was ready to go there or if she wanted to because he wanted to.
Drew moved away from her ear and kissed her forehead instead. "Not yet... we'll try again later. It shouldn't be that... difficult," he said, thinking that was the best word at the moment.

When he moved away from where he was, she knew she'd done it. Closing her eyes in defeat, she could feel the pit of her stomach just sink. She probably had done something wrong earlier, and it was quite obvious she'd done something wrong then, too.
Pulling away from him she nodded, figuring that meant it wasn't ever going to happen. Difficult? That was such a horrid word, and to be used in such a context, it didn't do anything to make her think anything else.
Lowering her eyes, bowing her head, she wrapped her arms around herself, she shouldn't have asked him to, it was downright ridiculous for her to assume he would even want to do that with her. It must have been a fluke the first, and second time.

Her reaction was a little confusing, but not totally surprising. He would have understood relief on her part a bit more, but could also see the situation in this particular light. He had basically just rejected her and of course he didn't want her to think that.
"Come here..." he offered, pulling her in and holding her close. "What's wrong?" he asked softly, having a fair idea but wanting to talk about it.

What was wrong? He had just told her it was difficult to kiss her. She hadn't found it difficult at all, in fact, the only thing she found to be difficult about it was she didn't know if she was doing anything correctly, and he'd just made it painfully clear she had done something wrong by stopping, by basically telling her he couldn't kiss her that way.
Shaking her head at him, she didn't know how to tell him, what was she supposed to say? Well, you just said it was difficult kissing me, and I suppose now I'm supposed to put a smile on my face and act as though there is nothing wrong with what you just said? Even she wasn't that blonde.
"I don't...I don't understand," it seemed those were her best words in such times. He was telling her, her boyfriend, a person she'd been kissing on for nearly two months and had tried to kiss her like that the first night they began kissing, was telling her it was too difficult now.

Drew had a terrible case of foot in mouth syndrome and tended to say things in such a way that the person he was talking to got something totally different, and often insulting, from it. No one knew this better than Arianna and his years of arguing with the older Ravenclaw clued him into this condition. He thought he was doing the right thing, but obviously had said it totally wrong and knew he now needed to fix it, lest the girl in his arms stop talking to him forever.
"What don't you understand?" he pressed, thinking that if she just came out and told him, he'd be able to clarify. Sometimes his clarification made things worse, but not always.
