mariko lets out a sharp yelp when her hair is grabbed. she clenches her eyes tightly and says as calmly as she can manage. "please...do not do that." she whispers,nearly cringing. she hated her hair being grabbed or pulled,or even touched roughly. that action had usually precluded much pain in her life. " i am sorry,but i do not....cannot handle that sort of thing." mariko again blushed deeply,but this time of out of embarrassment. she hated her own weakness,and especially showing it to vara.

Nova dives underwater, grabbing Daisy's leg and pulling her down with her, smiling underwater. Even though the cameras wouldn't be able to catch them, she blew a kiss to her, bubbles forming outside of her mouth and then she went back up for air.

mariko remains with her eyes tightly closed and body very tense. "i am sorry,vara chan.i should have told you." she apologizes,wiping the tears away,turning away from vara. she hated anyone seeing her cry. " you do not need to have to live like this..find someone else." mariko sits on a couch and hold her head in her hands. she could not expect vara to have to tip toe around her,and she felt horrible that she had killed the mood.

mariko leans into vara, she hated the fact that other people had to pay for,and know her past.she kisses vara on the shoulder and then on the cheek and lips. " for a little while,please give me a little warning.if anything,a gentle tug on the hair first." mariko softly says,taking vara's hand and putting it back on her hair.she lets out a little sigh and then looks to vara,giving her an "im trusting you" look with her eyes. " it is fine,vara chan. i would rather you did not know."

Nova giggles at Daisy and swims away. "Nooope, can't catch me Daisy!"

mariko lets the gentle stroking of her hair calm her. closing her eyes,she let herself fall into the moment between she and vara. "i know you would not vara. you have always been so kind to me. the suddenness is what surprised me,that is all. " mariko smiles slightly. she gives vara long kiss on her neck. "now where were before your new girlfriend freaked out?" she asks,trying to save the evening between them. back down inside her those terrible memories went.

Vara kisses the top of Mariko's head softly as she speaks, but is then taken by slight surprise when Mariko starts kissing her neck. Vara didn't think that Mariko would want to continue after what just happened, but she was pleased to see that she did. She was also pleased to see that Mariko remembered what Vara's most sensitive spot was. She lets out a small moan, closing her eyes. "Hmmm... I think we were right here..." Vara responses, her hand going up Mariko's shirt and softly resting on her breast before kissing her passionately. She loved Mariko calling herself Vara's girlfriend. That meant a lot to her.

Nova laughed. "Nooooo." She dives underwater again and swims underneath her so she goes past her. She was having the time of her life with Daisy right now. It was much better than being in the drama filled house for a moment. She really just wanted to have fun and not have to endure awkward situations.

for mariko it was important that they, or she did not kill the mood. it was not right to make vara deal with her past. mariko did it every day,if she did remember every moment of her previous life,she would be even more of a wreck than she was. certain things,like sudden loud voices or violence caused it to bubble to the surface,but for the most part mariko kept it under control. " i thought so. right...there. " mariko whispers,now sucking on vara's neck. the soft skin of vara combined with the faint scent of her perfume,plus her reaction,made this mariko's favorite spot to kiss on vara. it didnt hurt she could kiss her neck in public and nobody would be the wiser. mariko lets out a little sigh of contentment when she feels vara's hand on her breast.mariko moves her back,so that she presses herself against vara's hand. "we need to go to the bedroom. our housemates do not need to see this." mariko whispers,nuzzling vara's ear.

Daisy giggles when she sees Nova lay on her back. She ducks half under the water so only above her eyes is showing like a crocodile. She then ducks under the water and swims below Nova, coming up right beside her and grabbing her. "I told you I'd get ya, beautiful," she giggles loudly, wrapping her arms around Novas waist. "Prepare to be tickled!" she laughs, having the best time of her life.
