Reddie #8 - Thoughts For You

This one definitely goes under the list of 'oh shit I didn't expect it to be this good'. I had made scenes for this way back, but it didn't feel right. The exposure was botched and generally just... it didn't sit well with me. Those are still included in the extra angles folder though, maybe you guys don't mind it. Either way, the one you look at here was but a divergence to the render I was supposed to replace. Aaaand it ended up replacing it instead. 😝

So yeah, here's the mentioned folder.

---------------------------

Nicky sat on her bed reviewing the pictures. Okay, I can't believe I have this much cleavage... I should post it. She giggled as she filled out the post, and sent it into the ether. "Shame no one will see this. I look fucking hot."

Nicky brought up one of her more recent photos of ARK. This one courteously of Li who took a great picture of ARK mid-explanation, trying to convince an engineer that the interns needed special pencils. Nicky couldn't help but blush at the sight of him, the pang of jealousy having grown stronger as time had passed. She'd find herself pulling out her phone randomly throughout the day to see him. Texting him when that wasn't enough.

Nicky didn't even notice her hand creeping up her shirt till she felt the satisfying tingle of playing with her nipple. Her hand occasionally groping her lap filling breasts. She rested her phone on her cleavage, unlocked and open to ARKs picture, then proceeded to slide her other hand to the other nipple. She hugged her breasts, pulling them closer and into a sort of stand for her phone, her face flushing red at the thought of him playing with her boobs.

Her phone vibrated and she nearly jumped out of her skin.

ARKane: Hey, I'm not going to be able to play tonight.

Reddie: Aww. I was looking forward to crushing you.

ARKane: hehe, and what makes you think it'll be that easy?

Nicky thought of all the games they'd played over the years. He never outright crushed her, he'd always played down at her level, giving her a fair chance. Even though she knew he was probably way smarter than her, he never made her feel dumb. A pang hit her at the thought of missing one of their Friday night game sessions, even now she still looked forward to it every week.

Reddie: Simple. I know you.

ARKane: lol and what does that mean?

Reddie: It means I know you like me too much to let me loose. 😝

Nicky squirmed at her message. Rolling over and blushing into her pillow. I can't believe I said that! What am I thinking?! A squee wormed it's way into her pillow.

ARKane: Oh you're dead now!

Reddie: Nope, still alive. And will be for the foreseeable future.

Reddie: So what's the occasion that killed our game night?

ARKane: Oh. Uh... Amber wants to go to a concert. Said it'd be good for me. That I spend too much time playing games. We're tagging along with Li and his friends.

Nicky's mood soured.

Reddie: I thought you didn't like the music that Li does? Doesn't it give you headaches?

ARKane: It does. But Amber said it's good for me to try new things. If it gets too bad I'll just leave early. So I should be fine.

Reddie: Oh.

ARKane: Besides she's really into the music, and everyone is going to be there.

Nicky sat on the conversation for the rest of the night. It slowly eating away at her sleep. ARK at a concert, him with Amber. Their canceled game night.
