Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

• This time I'ma let it all come out- This time I'ma stand up and shout- I'ma do things my way! It's my way, my way or the highway -- Allessandra, 22:42:12 11/09/05 Wed [9]
  (She let them into the apartment, still holding her hand to her chest, her drunken fit was now no more than a sore fist and an annoying buzz. She let out a deep sigh at being home again and went into the kitchen to get some ice for her hand. The cupboards were open in the kitchen from her rummaging for more alcohol earlier in the evening. There was an empty bottle of wine on the counter and a half empty bottle of jack daniels next to it with a shot glass still full.) Thanks for bringing me home. (She said, looking over her shoulder and smiling a little bit.) I can't ride my bike when I am drunk.. (She smirked, it was a little embarassing for her still.. but she was sticking to her guns about having a reason to slug Gabe. She found an ice pack in the back of the freezer and set it on her hand and winced, sucking in some air between her teeth at the sharp pain, it felt broken.)

  • He frowned at the hiss of pain, his brow furrowed. "Might want to have that checked out in a little while..." He murmured softly before he went about putting away all the alcohol and straightening up the kitchen - he was weird about order. Didn't really care if things were clean, just that they were in order. His eyes turned back to her for a second before he turned to the fridge and grabbed her a bottle of water and then located some crackers. A few more seconds had him handing her both of those with some tylenol. "Fix the hang over before it starts." (NT) -- Deryk, 23:03:01 11/09/05 Wed
  • (She smiled warmly at him, shaking her head a little.) Really, you don't have to fuss over me. (She said, taking the water and the crackers from him and heading into the living room to sit down on the sofa. She really didn't mind the attention, it was her pride and her independence that kept her from simply accepting him being there. She brought her knees up to her chest and settled the water and the crackers in her lap, downing the pill and looking over at him.) Now I remember why I usually don't drink. (She said with a little laugh, she was being the big girl, trying to make it look like everything in her world was rosy and perfect.) Although I guess I will fit in in class tomorrow with a hangover. (NT) -- Andi, 23:17:11 11/09/05 Wed
  • He smirked, shaking his head as he looked at her. "What are you going to school for again?" He casually sat down in the large overchair, watching her curiously. She didn't seem like the drinking kind of girl to him, she was more the sweet girl who cooked and cleaned and had someone make love to her - not sex. A smile played on his lips as he watched her, shrugging his shoulders. "Everyone usually come in drunk?" He questioned, smirking just a little. "Or just hung over?" (NT) -- Deryk, 23:40:25 11/09/05 Wed
  • Law. (She said, after a second, swallowing the cracker she had been chewing on.) Well, Pre-Law anyways. (She rolled her eyes a little.) Please, it's a college, Deryk. It's a time for people to revert to high school and brag about drinking. (She took a bite off a cracker, her eyes wandering his face, he really was a handsome man.) (NT) -- Andi, 23:44:39 11/09/05 Wed
  • He shrugged a little bit, smirking. "I never did the whole college thing, didn't need an excuse to revert back to highschool..." He pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Actually, I don't think there ever was any reverting, I never left high school." He grinend a little, leaning back in the chair after flipping up the recliner. He crossed his arms behind his head, letting out a content sound - he was comfortable and he had been pretty strung out earlier in the day and he was coming down in a comfortable slow manner. (NT) -- Deryk, 00:31:25 11/10/05 Thu
  • (She watched him in an amused manner.. he was definitely never boring. Shifting her weight, she rested her back on the arm of the couch and stuck another cracker in her mouth, before setting the rest of the bag on the coffee table and taking a long drink of her water.) Do you even remember high school? (She teased, she had been quite the partier in high school, tossed out of classes, flunking.. staying out all hours of the night and even getting a couple arrests on her record. Her eyes scanned his features as she stuck the bottle between her knees and then she arched her back, letting the joints crack, sighing in releif.) So, what were you up to down at Sparx? (NT) -- Andi, 00:35:33 11/10/05 Thu
  • "Just wandering around." He questioned, tipping his head to the side as he watched her. "Your going to have a headache tomorrow, you should just skip class, thats what I would do. Maybe thats why I didn't do so well in highschool though." He shruged again at that thought, turning to grab the remote - making himself right at home. "I bet you watch Law and Order and all that kind of stuff, huh?" (NT) -- Deryk, 00:48:21 11/10/05 Thu
  • No, not really. (She said, smirking at him.. she enjoyed his company so much.) It makes me think too much, I need to let the brain rest sometimes. (She said, standing up and setting down the bottle.) I am going to go change out of these.. pukey smelling clothes.. I will be right back. (She ran her hand over his hair as she passed by him, disappearing into her room. She reappeared close to ten minutes later in a pair of cotton shorts and a RDU tee, her hair piled up in a ponytail holder and her teeth brushed very very well. She hated the way throwin up gave her cotton mouth. She yawned and stretched happily as she entered the living room and went over to the couch.) Come sit over here, I can't sit on you when you're over there. (NT) -- andi, 00:56:39 11/10/05 Thu

• *A morning spent getting all her studying and bookwork done would allow her to spend as much time as she wanted with Deryk.. Sighing, she looked in the mirror, then went back into her closet, wondering why nothing she normally wore seemed to look good, maybe she had gained weight overnight. Pulling out a bright pink silky shirt, she turned and held it up against her front, studying her reflection. With a nod, she slipped out of her soft weater and instead put on the halter-top, it's renaissance style sleeves and hem clashing in a fun way with her skin tight flared jeans. Humming to herself contently, she hung the many discarded cloths back up and turned back to the mirror, scooping up her longish auburn hair and pinning it messily into place with some bobby pins. Now that she was done, she didn't know what to do with herself, so she returned to the kitchen table and her law book.. might as well get some more work done.* -- Andi, 19:05:01 10/15/05 Sat [1]

• (Humming to herself, Andi walks up the street in front of her building, having had to leave her car almost a block and a half down. Rolling her eyes goodnaturedly, she decides there must be a party going, because the music down the road was obnoxious and there were a lot of college kids in this area. Stopping for a moment, she uses her knee to balance one of the bags in her arms so she can adjust her keys to get in the front door.* -- Andi, 22:38:58 10/11/05 Tue [93]

  • He was wandering back to the lodge after partying for awhile - Gabe had found some girl to spend some time with and he had decided to roll out. His hands were shoved in his pockets, his head down as his eyes just followed the sidewalk as he was walking into - walking almost directly into her. His hands moved quickly to steady her and the bags before he saw who it was. He smirked slowly, tipping his head. "Stalking me, aren't you?" (NT) -- Deryk, 22:49:59 10/11/05 Tue
  • *She looked at him wide-eyed for a moment before a blush crept into her cheeks.. again he sees her in laundry day cloths.. sweats and a hoodie. Smiling, she hands him one of the bags she was carrying until he upset them.* No, but thanks for making yourself useful. *She smirks, lightly climbing the stoop and opening the front door, then turning to him. Shit... did she invite him in now? That was dumb.. * I.. um. (NT) -- Andi, 22:53:26 10/11/05 Tue
  • He cocked a brow as she paused, smirking just a touch. "Afraid I am going to know where you live now, kitten?" He teased softly, shifting the bag in his arms. "Going to invite me in or make me pass this to you through the window?" He had pushed out of his mind the comments that Gabe had made, the guy was a bit dramatic and this was probably just another thing he blew out of proportion. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:09:12 10/11/05 Tue
  • *She smiled, warmly for once.* C'mon.. *She said, holding the door open with her food.* Up one flight, second on the left. *She said softly, making sure the front door closed all the way - in this neighborhood one could never be too sure.* What brings you down here? *She asked conversationally, today was her off day and she was catching up on a weeks worth of errands, the apartment was spotlessly clean and she was restocking the bare shelves now.. it was nice to have someone to talk to during it.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:12:02 10/11/05 Tue
  • "I was out with the boys but they all wandered off so I was just heading home." He shrugged his shoulders, heading towards the kitchen to set the groceries down on the counter. "Planning on making dinner? Cuz I am pretty hungry..." He grinned teasingly, turning to lean against the counter, hip cocked and his eyes on her. A yawn managed to escape his lips, not because he was tired really but just because he was so laid back at the moment it was making him lethargic. (NT) -- Deryk, 21:22:05 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She put her bag on the counter as well, grabbing a few things out of it and putting them in various places around the kitchen. She didn't quite know how to answer him.. she wanted him to stay.. but she didnt want him to know that.* A girl has to eat.. if that is what you're asking. *She teased back, unknowingly brushing against him as she reached up to place a package into the cupboard next to him.* (NT) -- Andi, 21:41:41 10/12/05 Wed
  • He smirked, his hand absently resting against her waist to steady her before he dropped it back to his side. "What are you going to make? Something I like, right?" He was blatantly teasing her, though he could definately stand to eat something. He may be skinny as hell but that was due to the drugs he used on a regular basis and the lifestyle he led, not for lack of eating. He glanced around the apartment, noting how clean it was, his place was littered in crap, well the place back in L.A. - the one in N.Y.C. wasn't so bad... (NT) -- Deryk, 22:00:53 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She stopped where she was when he touched her and dropped back down on her heels, her eyes meeting his. Quiet for a second, she looked absently at him, then she caught herself, flashed a smile and said:* I don't know.. what do you want? *She reached behind her, pushing the milk across the counter before she turned to pick it up and move to the fridge, berating her hormones the whole way.* (NT) -- Andi, 22:04:14 10/12/05 Wed
  • "I like just about anything...pretty easily." He tipped his head to the side, watching her as he let out a soft breath. "So, you done studying for the night? Just going to chill out?" He questioned softly, still watching her curiously. She was a little ansty and he wasn't sure why, she kept shifting and her eyes jutting back and forth between him and anything else she could focus on. "Do I make you nervous?" (NT) -- Deryk, 22:24:03 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She let out a sigh and moved the egg carton over to slide the milk into its place. Closing the fridge door, she crossed to him, to lean on the counter next to him.* I am not to worried about my studies right now. *She let her eyes wander over his face, wondering how he could be friends with her cousin.. he was such a good guy.* (NT) -- Andi, 22:33:05 10/12/05 Wed
  • "Yeah? More worried about filling my stomach?" he questioned with a grin, shifting to look into her fridge himself - she had to have something that could be cooked there - she had just gone shopping after all. A smile crossed his face as he looked over at her. "How about some breakfast food? I'll help you make us some ommlettes and we'll pretend it's nine a.m. or something like that." (NT) -- Deryk, 22:45:32 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She nodded, eyeing him furtively before pulling out some bowls and cooking things. Apparently it had been too long since she had been around a guy, because she was sure she had been giving some signals there.. maybe he really was just hungry.* That sounds perfect - I haven't done that in a long time. (NT) -- Andi, 22:52:12 10/12/05 Wed
  • He nodded, drawing out the eggs and some cheese, looking around for some vegetables and whatnot to add in them. A smile crossed his lips as he cocked a brow. "Why don't you go on and get out the skillet and stuff and I'll start mixing stuff together." He winked lightly, teasingly playful as he smiled and grabbed a bowl and a fork. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:05:03 10/12/05 Wed
  • Sure thing.. *She walked over the the cabinet and crouched down to dig through. Finally she produced a skillet and straightened, walking over to the sink to wash it quickly.* I guess I haven't used this particular pan in a while. *She laughed a little, drying the pan off and setting it on the oven, and digging around for a spatula.* So, um.. where did you meet Gabe? *She asked just to have something to say.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:11:28 10/12/05 Wed
  • "Years ago, when we both lived here and were just kids." He shrugged. "Then we both took off to chase dreams and rainbows, you know? Hear from him now and again, I'll call him up if I know we are going to be in the same city and we'll go out for a night on the town or whatever..."He shrugged again. "I don't see him that often but yeah, we go pretty far back." He added a bit of milk to the eggs and stirred it up before he added in the cheese and stirred again. Next, he chopped up some of the veggies...that keeping him busy for a minute. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:16:48 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She hopped up on the counter next to the oven and watched him thoughtfully.* He.. um.. did he mention anything to you about.. *She trailed off, then shook her head.* Nevermind, it's not important. *She picked the fork up off the counter and poked the egg soup a little.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:19:49 10/12/05 Wed
  • "You?" He finished for her, looking at her out of the corner of her eyes. "He talked about a lot of drama that didn't seem to sound in theory..." He shrugged a little, smirking a touch as he looked up at her. "I am not one for gossip though, Andi girl, if I was I would never make it in the business I am in." He shrugged a little, shifting to pour the egg into the pan, splitting it in half for two omelletes. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:33:02 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She watched him with interest.. reading between the lines.. she was a law student after all.* I suppose not. *She said slowly, her head tilted a little bit, a smile gracing her features.. he believed her.. and she found that her feelings where he was concerned suddenly warmed up a lot.* You cook a lot? (NT) -- Andi, 23:37:27 10/12/05 Wed
  • "Sometimes, when I get the chance, being on the bus a lot I don't often get a chance." He smirked, shrugging his shoulders as he flipped the eggs over. "Generally I eat out a lot, some fast food but I at least try to order applebee's to go or something resembling a real meal." He reached over for the cheese, sprinkling extra over the top of the eggs. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:41:47 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She smiled, watching him cook.* I don't know if I could stand being on the road. *She sighed.. not like she wasnt used to hiding from people though.. and she had had to move around for a couple months until publicity had calmed down enough to allow her to live.* I like being able to come home to the same place everyday. (NT) -- Andi, 23:45:33 10/12/05 Wed
  • "Yeah, I think someday I would like that again but right now I am liking my climb to fame." He winked before he leaned forward to turn down the heat on the stove top, turning to face as he let the eggs finish up cooking. "This is a nice place you got here, nice little set up. I take it you work as well as going to school?" She had to have money coming in some how... (NT) -- Deryk, 23:55:33 10/12/05 Wed
  • *She nodded, crossing her ankles and tapping her heel on the cabinet door lightly.* Yeah, I have a pretty hefty scholarship at the U, so most of my money goes into this place. *She smiled with pride, as a mother might do.. she had busted ass to get into this place, and she worked hard to maintain it.* It was quite the hole when I bought it. *She mused, smiling at him after looking around the kitchen - her kitchen - Her main sense of accomplishment and pride in the world.* I have a job at a law firm downtown, mostly gofer work. But it pays the bills. (NT) -- Andi, 00:06:08 10/13/05 Thu
  • He nodded a that, a little lost in his thoughts for a second before he remembered the eggs and turned quickly, grabbing two plates and putting the omelettes on them and then put them on the table. He headed back to the fridge to grab out the OJ and themilk, putting that on the table too. "Looks like we are all set for breakfast..." (NT) -- Deryk, 07:51:00 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She stood on tiptoes to grab a couple of glasses out of the cupboard, having to reach all the way to the back since the dishwasher was dirty. Absently snatching a few utensils out of the nearest drawer, she followed him to the table. Setting out the glasses, she picked up the bottle of OJ and poured some for herself, offering him some as well with a gesture.* How long have you been in the music business? (NT) -- Andi, 22:37:06 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She stood on tiptoes to grab a couple of glasses out of the cupboard, having to reach all the way to the back since the dishwasher was dirty. Absently snatching a few utensils out of the nearest drawer, she followed him to the table. Setting out the glasses, she picked up the bottle of OJ and poured some for herself, offering him some as well with a gesture.* How long have you been in the music business? (NT) -- Andi, 22:39:14 10/13/05 Thu
  • He leaned forward in the chair to cut into the omelet and try it, chewing thoughtfully before he pursed his lips and thought about it for a second before he answered. "long as I can remember I've been playing guitar and singing, interested in music, got a band together in tenth grade of course, its changed a lot of times since then but thats when I started playing in front of people..." He shrugged. "It's just something thats a part of me I guess." (NT) -- Deryk, 22:44:00 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She smiled as she watched him, happily trying food she hadn't cooked herself and wasn't in a pre=packaged container. She nodded, taking a sip of her juice.* I can definitely respect that. *She said after a moment, she had spent her whole life chasing dreams, and when someone caught theirs she was always behind them.* Where did you learn to cook? *She laughed a little* I might have to chain you up somewhere.. do you clean too? (NT) -- Andi, 22:47:19 10/13/05 Thu
  • "Oh, no. Cleaning is not my forte. I actually couldn't tell you what color the carpet is in my place." He shrugged, his brow furrowed. "My dad taught me how to cook, actually, and I am pretty sure my mom taught him but he won't admit to it." He smirked, absently tapping his foot to the beat in his head - which was currently some hit from the clash...london calling...was that the name of the song? - as he ate his food. There was always some music going through his head, sometimes things he wrote or he wanted to write but more often then not it was some band that he looked up to. (NT) -- Deryk, 22:49:33 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She felt a deep admiration welling up inside her for this man. He was different somehow - and she recognized it, but she was in safeguard mode.. if something were to happen between them she was reminding herself that it could never be more than a fling. What a fling that would be though... she thought, eyeing his hands as he ate.* Perhaps we can work out a deal.. you cook - I clean. *She said between bites and sips.* I don't exactly love to do it, but it does give me some work satisfaction.. at least I dont have to fetch coffee for the carpet.. or check the fax machine for the curtains. (NT) -- Andi, 22:56:38 10/13/05 Thu
  • He laughed at that, tipping his head. "Upward climb to the top of the hill huh?" He winked before he took a long drink of his juice. "Always is, but it makes it so much more satisfying when your looking down at all the people who quit halfway up the hike." He finished off his glass of juice, quiet for the moment which was unusual for him but he was focusing on his food - he was a growing boy after all. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:01:01 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She laughed again. realizing that she missed having someone to banter with about meaningless things.* Law definitely comes with a lot of homework and studying, but the biggest training is in ass-kissing.. and you have to do years of on the job to master that particular area. *She put her fork down and leaned her elbows on the table, chin in her hands.* I know I wont make my interns kiss ass when I am ready to take them in. (NT) -- Andi, 23:04:41 10/13/05 Thu
  • "Sure you won't...and I won't take advantage of people by charging Forty-Five bucks for a tee-shirt at the concert." He grinned, his voice patronizing. "Of course you will, its laws of nature. You go through shit in order to be able to dump shit on other people when you get to the top of the ladder." He shrugged a bit, batting his eyes innocently. "Who am I to go against the circle of life and all that new age stuff?" (NT) -- Deryk, 23:09:37 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She feigned being taken aback at his words, finally shaking her head.* Well then.. I guess if it is a law I of all people should obey it. *She smirked coyly.* Although, I am in the business of interpreting laws.. (NT) -- Andi, 23:11:29 10/13/05 Thu
  • He cocked a brow, nodding a touch. "Well then you should know this one back and forth...and upside down..." His brow furrowed as he stopped that train of speaking. "You have to follow it, your not the rebel type, conform like your little heart desires." He winked teasingly, leaning back in the chair for a second before he stood, grabbing his plate and taking hers to the sink and rinsing them off before setting them down - that was the extent of his cleaning abilities. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:15:35 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She watched him with interest, enjoying their time together.* I dont know.. I think I have conformed long enough. *She said suddenly, getting up to add their glasses to the sink as well.* Maybe it is about time I did a little rebelling? (NT) -- Andi, 23:19:23 10/13/05 Thu
  • "I told you, you want a tattoo. I could tell." He grinned, putting away the food he had taken out as he helped her straighten up a little bit. "So tell me, Andi, what kind of music do you listen too?" He grinned, the question obviously one to trap her - most girls had crappy music taste and it drove him crazy. Well, he couldn't say crappy, to each his own, but not much stuff that he was into was playing in some chicks cd player. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:26:57 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She rolled her eyes.* I don't think I could sit still long enough to get a tattoo nice enough to warrant the pain. *She wiped the counter down and tossed the cloth into the sink.* Hmm.. *She mused, thinking about the kind of music she was into.* It depends on what I am doing.. but I tend to like classic rock music, actually. *She knew it didnt fit her "nice girl with clean apartment" facade, but hey - she was being honest.* Aerosmith is great to study to.. and throw me some Metallica any day of the week. (NT) -- Andi, 23:32:08 10/13/05 Thu
  • He nodded a bit at that, tipping his head. "Not bad...definately better then what most girls call music." He grinned lightly before he spoke again. "What about CCR?" If she hadn't been introduced to Credance yet, well he would definately have to change that. Everyone should know at least three CCR songs in his opinion. He leaned against the counter casually before he looked around again. "What about movies, got any movies?" So he was a bum...it was part of his nature. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:39:50 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She shrugged.* Heard of em, of course. *She teased, sliding the OJ and milk bottles back into the fridge.* I have a few dvds in the living room. *She said in response to his question, looking around the kitchen and nodding satisfaction - it was clean enough for now.* Not anyting spectacular. (NT) -- Andi, 23:42:12 10/13/05 Thu
  • "Might as well pop one in, yeah?" He questioned, cocking a brow. "Less you can think of something else to do." He wasn't one who usually just came onto girls - generally they came onto him and he went along with it pretty easily... (NT) -- Deryk, 23:52:49 10/13/05 Thu
  • *She laughed a little.* I thought the guy was supposed to come up with the plans? *She teased, arching her brows questioningly.* And besides.. how am I to know if you will actually like what I come up with? (NT) -- Andi, 15:32:54 10/14/05 Fri
    • "I am a pretty flexible guy." He stated, crossing his arms over his chest before he shifted to crack his neck and then his back. He also got restless pretty quickly and was starting to get antsy unless they got something going soon. "So, how are you related to Gabe? Out of curiosity?" He tipped his head to the side as he looked at her, causally glancing her over - she was definately a good looking girl... (NT) -- Deryk, 17:10:50 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She rolled her eyes at the mention of her cousin.* Our dad's are brothers. *She said simply, walking into the living room. Gabe was one of her biggest pet peeves. Not merely because he excelled at pushing her buttons and lived for the simple reason of making her life hell.. but that she had known him all his life and they had always been the black sheep of the family together, growing up rebels and living in the fast lane.. and he had been a respectable, funloving boy.. and now she didn't even know who he was. In the living room, she opened the cabinet that held all 23 of her dvd collection and scanned them halfheartedly, then suddenly stopped, turning to him.* Why do you even talk to him, anyways? (NT) -- ANdi, 17:13:43 10/14/05 Fri
  • He shrugged a little, sitting down on the couch again and waiting for her to pick out something. "I don't know...we've just always gotten along pretty well." He smiled a little, watching her for a long moment before he leaned back. "Well now that I got a new friend maybe I won't hang out with him quite so much..." He winked teasingly, watching her carefully. (NT) -- Deryk, 17:32:46 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She shrugged, snagging a movie out of the cabinet and tossing it into the dvd player. In her heart she worried about this guy.. being friends with Gabe didn't make him the best judge of character - but then she really couldn't judge him by his friends.. still it bothered her. Hitting play and turning the tv on, she sat down on the couch near him, not looking at him, purposefully being moody.* You should stay away from him, he'll stab you in the back. *He had done just that to her, and she had remained a loner for close to three years because of it.* (NT) -- Andi, 17:36:25 10/14/05 Fri
  • "I am a big boy, I can handle myself." He didn't like being told what to do - a thing that came from being a teenager and being influenced to go to school instead of follow his heart towards his career of choice. His eyes drifted to her for a moment, going back to Gabe's warnings about her - seemed there was no love lost between the two of them. (NT) -- Deryk, 18:02:52 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She rolled her eyes.* Men can be so pigheaded. *She stood and walked over to the window, wondering if it would be completely wrong of her to come onto him.. instead of the other way around.* If you're such a "big boy" and can handle things, then why are you still sitting there when you are alone with me in my apartment? (NT) -- Andi, 18:10:00 10/14/05 Fri
  • He laughed, cocking a brow at her forwardness before he smirked. "I don't have sex on the first date and if I get close to you well, obviously, you'll jump me and I'll feel violated." He winked teasingly, running his hand over his head as he eyed her curiously. She had a lot of good things going for her but he didn't really know her yet and so couldn't make a complete jugement. (NT) -- Deryk, 18:50:21 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She laughed at that, laying her hand on the sill of the window and staring out.* Good answer, but who said this was a date? *Turning, she leaned on the wall and watch him curiously. It was so hard for her to trust, and it bothered him that he was attempting to make it easy for her to trust him. On one hand she liked it, because it made her like him more.. but onthe other hand it was hard for her to imagine letting someone in. Sighing, she shook her head, laughing a little.* You must think I am a mental case. (NT) -- Andi, 19:10:32 10/14/05 Fri
  • "Why would I think that?" He questioned his brow furrowed a little as a smile graced his features. His eyes went back to the television, watching to see what she had popped in before he looked back to her. "I didn't say it was a date but it could qualify as one don't you think? I cooked, we ate, watching a movie...it's pretty damn close to a date if its not one." (NT) -- Deryk, 19:33:04 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She shook her head, rejoining him on the couch.* Nevermind. *It was hard to drill holes in this guy's facade.. he was about as genuine with her as she could want, and so she gave up chewing on her cud. Perhaps she really could relax and let go around him, and that was a comforting thought. The previews gave way to the beginning of SWAT, a movie her dad had given her as a joke.. it was actually one of her favorites. Colin Ferrel didn't diminish the movie one bit. She looked over at him, then back at the movie.. so it was a date.. * (NT) -- Andi, 19:40:01 10/14/05 Fri
  • He winked as he looked over before his brow furrowed. "Which Marita is your father?" He questioned, as far as he knew there weren't any female Marita's around these parts. A smile crossed his face, turning his eyes back to the television with a slight amusement. (NT) -- Deryk, 20:08:42 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She crossed her ankles and leaned back on the couch getting comfortable.* Kade is. *She said simply, feeling no need to input any further information.* (NT) -- Andi, 20:23:16 10/14/05 Fri
  • He cocked a brow, unsure where the sudden abruptness came from but it put into silence. He didn't deal with it well when he was itching for a fix like he was. His brow furrowed for a second before he looked over to her. "Where's your bathroom at?" He questioned, waiting till she told him before he went in. Locking the door, he pulled out a small white baggy and then took out his ID, using the edge of it to make a line - taking it quickly. He shook his head, enjoying the effects before he washed his face quickly, cleaned off the counter, flushed the toilet and washed his hands - coming back out. (NT) -- Deryk, 20:41:28 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She had pulled the light blanket off the back of the couch and wrapped up in it, her feet curled underneath her and her eyes on the screen. The sun was on it's way down and the room was darkening, so her face was cast in blue shadow from the television. She was smiling at the movie and only let her eyes shift to him as he re-entered the room.* (NT) -- Andi, 20:43:28 10/14/05 Fri
  • He smiled lightly, winking teasingly as he settled back down, once again in an easy going mood. "Hey, you should share that blanket." He stated his brow furrowed. "Or get me one of my own, geez, what kind of hostess are you?" He grinned lightly, poking her in the leg as he grinned playfully. "Share! Or did you miss that day in Kindergarden?" (NT) -- Deryk, 21:09:20 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She eyed him, a smile growing on her lips until he poked her, then she cuddled the blanket closer and stuck out her tongue at him.* Get your own, didn't your mother teach you not to mooch? *She smirked, wiggling her cold toes underneath her more and scooting down into the blanket more.* (NT) -- Andi, 21:11:06 10/14/05 Fri
  • He cocked a brow before he stood up, going down the hallway and opening each and every door until he found her bedroom. he looked around for a second before he went to her bed and tugged off the comforter, sending all the pillows and things on the bed to floor. Completely nonchalantly, he walked back into the living room and flopped into the recliner - cuddling up with the comforter. (NT) -- Deryk, 21:26:42 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She was agape.* You idiot! I was only teasing! *She shook her head, laughing.* You better not have messed up my room. *She said, taking the freedom on the couch and stretching out a little bit.* (NT) -- Andi, 21:40:21 10/14/05 Fri
  • "Never." He smirked, his eyes going back to the tv. "You watch boy movies." He commented absently, fingers playing over the smooth material of the comforter, it was soft and warm and it was perfect with the mood that he was in. He could cuddle forever in this present state of mind. "Not that I am complaining or anything..." (NT) -- Deryk, 21:56:20 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She arched a brow.* And you are a bad movie watcher. *She said quietly, her eyes moving to him for a second.* It would be warmer if you were over here, you know. (NT) -- Andu, 21:57:35 10/14/05 Fri
  • He laughed, he had a feeling this girl wanted him but he wasn't going to make the first move - she seemed to be heading towards that on her own. He headed over there, cuddling up on the couch and tugging the blanket over him once again. "I was kinda comfortable, it better be a hell of a lot warmer over here." (NT) -- Deryk, 22:17:11 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She rolled her eyes, shifting to sit next to him, using some of his blanket to increase the warmth over her feet - they were actually cold.* Just shut up and watch the movie. *She said softly, eyes moving back to the screen, her knees drawn up to her chest under the blanket, hands wrapped around them.* (NT) -- Andi, 22:19:18 10/14/05 Fri
  • He cocked a brow, grumbling under his breath. "Your not very nice sometimes." he stated with a huff before he 'shut his mouth' and 'watched the movie'. See if he tried to ensure any more conversation with her if she was going grump at him like that. His fingers went back to petting the blanket, now that was soothing. (NT) -- Deryk, 22:26:55 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She let her eyes move to him, brow furrowing before going back to the movie... he had a pretty quick mood change, and she noticed it then for more than just teasing.* You're the one who rudely accused me of having no manners, then sat over there on our first date. *She said back, willing to play around with him.* (NT) -- Andi, 22:30:25 10/14/05 Fri
  • He turned his head, noting the teasing tone to her voice. He stuck his tongue out at her, frowning playfully. "Well it was cold and you didn't offer anything to keep me warm. I am awfully skinny you know, not much to keep me insulated!" He huffed, petting the blanket still - it was smooth and warm. So great. (NT) -- Deryk, 22:39:14 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She shook her head.* Bullshit mister, *She said with a laugh.* you aren't pinning this on me. If you had been here when I got the blanket, I would have offered. You're just sore you aren;t under here with me, where it is really warm. (NT) -- Andi, 22:41:01 10/14/05 Fri
  • He rolled his eyes, smirking a touch - obviously teasing her. "Bullshit yourself, if I had the mind to be under there I would be under there." He grinned, watching her carefully to guage her reaction. If he was out on the road it would be nothing to just sleep with a girl the first night that he met her but it just felt weird to be like that here at home where his parents were just a couple of miles away and she was a marita for god's sake...those men were kind of scary. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:00:11 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She shrugged, smirking as she kept watching the television, settling back into her old ways of behavior, back when she had lived for the moment.. for fast cars, loud music and strong men.. when everything had been a game and her heart wasn't on the line.* Suit yourself, sit over there and pout if you want to. *She cleared her throat a little, enjoying the teasing atmosphere, relaxing with him.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:04:33 10/14/05 Fri
  • "I am not pouting!" He was quick to defend himself, tugging the comforter tight around him as he growled at her. "What were your words? Oh yeah, shut up and watch the movie." He smirked in self satisfaction, gazing back at the movie and trying to figure out what was going on since they had been at each other since it started and he had never seen it before. Looked good enough though, if he could figure out who the hell the bad guys were. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:06:39 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She rolled her eyes, something she did a lot around him, but didnt mind in the least. She smiled to herself as she shifted into a more comfortable position and rested her head against the back of the sofa to watch the movie, this was one of her favorite parts.. where the agens were retraining to be in swat.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:11:02 10/14/05 Fri
  • He shifted to tug her closer to him, letting her rest her head on his shoulder. Cuddling, he could handle and it was nice to have her firm body pressed up against him gently. She was warm and soft and smelled like pretty girl and he was completely happy with the way he was right now in this moment. He had a pleasant buzz going on, a pretty girl in his arms, and a decent movie on the tv - what more could he want out of life? (NT) -- Deryk, 23:22:28 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She tensed for all of a fraction of a second before settling down next to him, sighing into the embrace, it was nice to be held and she had forgotten that. Content with silence, she reveled in the action on the screen.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:27:45 10/14/05 Fri
  • His hand shifted to play through her hair, letting out a soft content breath. He was chilled now, past the antsy stage so he was content to just relax there with her. Cuddling was ok - no marita would have his balls for cuddling, at least he hoped not. He looked down at her for a second before he smiled and looked back to the screen, focusing on that instead of the feel of her pressed up against his side. (NT) -- Deryk, 23:32:35 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She was into the movie so much that she simply sighed and leaned on him more at his touch, he was comfortable and warm and she was so content it was hard to keep her eyes open and on the movie, she could sink into a coma it seemed. Her left hand played idly with the bracelet on her right wrist, distracting her enough to keep focused.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:38:36 10/14/05 Fri
  • He grinned, looking down at her as her eyes kept fluttering. "Going to fall asleep?" He questioned softly, murmuring into her ear quietly. His hand soothed over her hair, just cuddling her closer. "Movies not over yet..." (NT) -- Deryk, 23:53:41 10/14/05 Fri
  • *She smiled, looking up at him.* You're making me so comfortable.. *She said quietly, nuzzling into his chest a little and sighing, letting her eyes wander back to the movie.* I'm not really tired.. *She said, stifling yawn.* (NT) -- Andi, 23:55:31 10/14/05 Fri
  • "Well, thats much better to ehar then I am making you uncomfortable." He grinned, brushing her hair behind her ear as he pressed a kiss to her forehead without even thinking about it. He smiled lightly, turning his eyes back to the tv after murmuring. "Liar." In response to her saying she wasn't tired. (NT) -- Deryk, 00:06:43 10/15/05 Sat
  • *Butterflies filled her stomach at his kiss, and she smiled, the slight rush waking her a little. As hard as it remained to focus on the movie, at least she was awake for it. She shifted her hand to his stomach, enjoying the contact.* (NT) -- Andi, 00:09:13 10/15/05 Sat
  • He smiled softly, watching her for a second - his body tensing beneath her hand, muscles skittering beneath her fingers. "Wanna stretch out?" He questioned, his voice a soft mummur as he ran his hand down her arm, leaning forward a little. Laying down was definately tempting him to fall asleep as he came down but he though it would be comfortable and nice to hold her in a laying position... (NT) -- Deryk, 00:24:57 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She shifted when he did, looking over to him and nodding.* Sure.. *She said, moving to let him lay down before stretching out beside him and laying her head on his chest again, hand splayed on his stomach and breathing deep. She had defintely forgotten how comfortable a man could be during a movie in the dark. When she sighed a soft sound of contentment came out.* (NT) -- Andi, 00:27:28 10/15/05 Sat
  • He smiled, his arm wrapping around her tightly, drawing her more fully onto his chest His head turned though, to watch the movie - he was getting pretty into it now. A smile crossed his face as he brushed his hand down her cheek just once more before fully focusing on the television. Well...focused other then his eyes closing every now and then... (NT) -- Deryk, 00:43:33 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She laid her hand higher on his chest when he moved, adjusting to fit against him, her eyes closing fully now. She had seen the movie a hundred times and was more interested in thinking about him, and what it felt like to not be alone.* (NT) -- Andi, 00:46:16 10/15/05 Sat
  • "So when should our second date be?" He questioned, his brow cocked softly his voice almost teasing but not quite, he really did want to see her again sometimes. "Maybe we'll actually go out, dinner, movie or a show or something..." Concerts were his life and he tended to go to a lot of them when he was around in town or whatever. (NT) -- Deryk, 01:03:21 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She raised her head, looking at him in the dark for a moment, before crossing her arm over his chest and laying her chin on it.* Hmm.. how about tomorrow. *She said, smiling gently.* Or whenever.. *She didn't mind when, as long as it was with him.* (NT) -- Andi, 01:05:38 10/15/05 Sat
  • "Sunday huh? We could do something all cutesy...like...go out to the zoo and have a picnic lunch there or something." Why not deal with the simple things in life while he was here? When he was on tour it was sex in the back of clubs and lines off of mirrors...he might as well do the wholesome thing while he was within his parents realm of knowledge. (NT) -- Deryk, 01:15:24 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She laughed.* I don't know if I want to do it if you think it is "cutesy", but anything would be nice. *She stifled another yawn, it was past her bedtime.* (NT) -- Andi, 01:16:54 10/15/05 Sat
  • He nodded a little, looking up to note the movie was over. "Well, how about, I pick you up, here..." The phrases were a touch disjointed. "'round noon on sunday? Sound like a plan?" He should be heading out of here, she was about to fall asleep and he wanted to go make a purchase before he went home for the night. (NT) -- Deryk, 08:09:26 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She nodded, smiling at him sleepily. Wrapping the blanket closer to her, she sat up to let him move, sticking her wrist out of the top of the material to check the time.* Geez, it got late. *She said softly, blinking her eyes to wake up.* I am exhausted.. *She stood, yawning again as her tired muscles stretched and protested to her moving.* Thanks for making dinner, it was really nice to have you over. *She said, smiling at him, he looked tired too.* (NT) -- Andi, 17:15:22 10/15/05 Sat
  • He smileda little and nodded, shifting to stand up and stretch out his own body. His hand raked through his hair before he smiled and nodded again. "Alright...well I will see you tomorrow then!" He grinned lightly, focused on her for a second as he reached to brush a kiss across her cheek. "It was my pleasure." (NT) -- Deryk, 17:22:36 10/15/05 Sat
  • *She blushed a little, standing up to walk with him to the door.* See you tomorrow.. *She said softly, seeing him out before leaning on the closed door and smiling in self-indulgence.* (NT) -- Andi, 17:39:32 10/15/05 Sat
  • He smiled, tipping his head to her before he disappared out the door and jogged down the stairs. He was tired but wanted a bit of a stash to have with him tomorrow so instead of heading home he instead headed back out to the strip - maybe he would run back into Gabe... (NT) -- Andi, 17:58:02 10/15/05 Sat
