• He was in there enjoying a rare evening free of work-related duties - so was tucked away in the corner with a latté and a book that he was actually reading for pleasure. He was aware of the door opening, but didn't looked up until he heard her familiar voice ordering her hot chocolate, and broke an easy smile almost immediately. The couch he was slouched deeply into wasn't too far from where she had sat down, and he was definitely far too comfortable to be getting up, so he just set his book down on his stomach and spoke to her from there. "Too good to share a couch with a guy like me, sweetheart?" His tone was teasing though, and he was hardly the menacing type, much more the intellectual bookworm - in his fitted perfectly worn jeans and navy long-sleeved polo shirt.

• She didn't even realize for a second that someone was talking, to caught up in her grumpy cloud before she suddenly recognized that it was his voice that she heard. A smile crossed her exotic features as she shifted her weight in the couch, yawning softly. "Well, you are kind of a bum, yeah?" She grinned a touch before she shifted to move over to sit down next to him, slouching down as he did and lifting up his book to see what he was reading before she sighed and rested her head back on the couch, looking over at him. "So how have you been?" They had an interesting relationship, having been previous roomates who sought some sort of physical contact with one another on occasion but nothing had really ever developed out of it...

• "Yeah, definitely some kind of a bum..." He agreed without hesitation and with a small grin as he triumphantly watched her re-situate herself to his couch - pleased that he didn't have to move. "Same old, same old. Flat broke, yet working day in and day out. I think I should have become a plumber, or a doctor, or something else." He commented absently, tossed his book to the coffee table, and rested his head back in the same manner as she did. "What about you?" He had never really been able to figure them out, in all honestly. They were so random sometimes, but he did adore her, and it was a bit of a comfort to know that she was always there somewhere - even when he didn't get to see her for weeks.

• She shrugged a little, letting out a soft breath as she groaned under her breath in a half playful manner. "Whats the expression...life sucks?" She smirked a little, drawing one leg to rest cross legged with her knee resting against his thigh. "Just been a hectic semester, trying to transfer in the fall and there was problems with my visa..." She shrugged again, letting out a soft breath before she reached forward to take a drink of her cocoa. "You couldn't be a plumber, you would get dirty and you know how you get when you are dirty, its not fun." (NT) -- Kaya, Mon, Mar 06 2006, 11:41pm PST

• He laughed gently and nodded a little, then dropped a hand to her knee and gave it a reassuring squeeze. At her mention of a transfer, he cocked a brow and looked over to her again. "Where'd you want to transfer to?" Complications were always frustrating, but he wouldn't be too disappointed if she ended up sticking around here. Even if he only saw her every once in a while, well he didn't have a whole lot of friends, and also - she had bailed him out a couple times, when he'd missed a rent payment or they'd shut off his electricity. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Me and dirt - we don't get a long too well... But I'm sure there's something else I could be doing that would actually allow me to do more than just squeak by."

• "Just RDU..." She had been going to the community college because it was cheaper but she had done all she could there and needed to move on. "With not being a US citizen though and all the security stuff going on...they have to make sure I am not a terrorist first and all that." She stuck her tongue out with a huff before she played her hand over her stomach absently and looked over to him, a slight smile playing on her lips. "So what have you been up to? Anything exciting? How's Paul?" She adored his best friend and had always spoiled him rotten whenever he came to visit - much in the way she had spoiled Chris. (NT) -- Kaya, Tue, Mar 07 2006, 12:38am PST

• "Oh.. Okay." He nodded easily, allowing only a little bit of that relief to sound through, and smirked a little. "Yeah, 'cause you look so unpredictably terrifying and all..." He winked teasingly and broke a small smile as he watched her for a moment before shrugging again. "The same old sort of thing. Writing for the paper. Some magazine stuff. Still haven't come up with the money-maker bestselling novel yet though. I'll be sure to let you know when I do." He smiled at the mention of his friend, and crossed his arms slowly over his chest. "He's been busy with work and those girls of his, but he's hanging in there. He likes that sort of thing anyway - staying busy and whatnot. We should all go out for dinner or something sometime soo..." (NT) -- Chris, Tue, Mar 07 2006, 12:54am PST

• "Awe, are you trying to say you have time for me again?" She teased, winking lightly at him playfully. They had always just clicked so well and there was no doubt she was attracted to him, she really wasn't sure why things had never gone further between them then just the physical. "What are you up to tonight?" Her voice was softly curious as her eyes travelled over his features, taking in the familiarly handsome good looks. "I could maybe go for a night out on the town or something...or a night in that involves some shots..." (NT) -- Kaya, Sun, Mar 12 2006, 10:19pm PST

• "Yeah, yeah, maybe that's what I'm trying to say..." He admitted playfully with a small almost sheepish smirk and a goodnatured wink. Setting his mug down on the table, he stretched his arms above his head and then linked his fingers at the base of his neck, watching her affectionately. "I haven't got anything going on tonight... A night out could be fun." He experienced his moments of intensity - being a writer and all - but for the most part was a pretty laid back guy, so definitely appreciated her enthusiasm. She had always partied harder than he did, but it was all in fun and good times were always had by all. They were too young, afterall, to spend every night going to bed early so that they could be up early to go to work - if not now, then when could they enjoy being youthful?

• She grinned a little, nodding at that before she pursed her lips. "I am kinda broke though, so maybe we should do some shots before we go out so I won't spend so much on drinks." She laughed softly, shifting so she was facing him more, her eyes on him warm and thoughtful. "I kinda miss having you around the apartment, you know that?" She questioned gently, her voice hushed and exclusively for him. It wasn't that she didn't want others over hearing but she was just focused on him and their conversation.

• He laughed a little at that and nodded a little in agreement and understanding. "Yeah... I'm kinda broke too - surprise surprise. Maybe we should just stay in and drink." Didn't make much of a difference to him anyway - the outcome would be the same, and one way he might just save a couple bucks. He broke an easy smile at her admission, and ducked his head a little, winking playfully. "Even though I spent most of the time being completely self-involved and anti-social?" She had always been patient when he was in a mood - whether it had to do with not being able to write, or having too much to get done, she always just left him alone to do his thing when he needed it.
