• She was stretched out on her couch, happy to be home. She had loved England while she was there but this was her home and she was ecstatic to be here. A yawn escaped her lips idely as she cuddled into the pillow with Tipsy on her stomach, her eyes on the tv. With a smirk, she grabbed the phone, picking up and emitting a pleasant. "'ello?" (NT) -- Keisha, 02:17:49 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He closed his eyes at the sound of her voice, it was painful just to hear. It had been two long years.... and she sounded just the same. He could even picture her strawled out on her back on her couch. He cleared his throat a little and tossed the remote control aside absently "Hey...its me..." |If she asked him who 'me' was it might just break him... (NT) -- Wes, 02:26:25 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She was silent for a moment, a little taken back at the sound of his voice. Me..Wessex...suddenly she was taken back two years to the months of crying and crying nonstop, her heart breaking, her life falling apart. "Wes..hey.." Her voice was a little wary, he hadn't just broken her heart, he had shattered it into thousands of pieces. (NT) -- Keisha, 02:32:30 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He swallows slightly and runs a hand down over his face. This was a bad idea. This was seriously the dumbest thing Nyah had ever suggested. "congratulations... " This is what you'd wanted for her Wessex. So whats the problem? (NT) -- Wes, 02:45:34 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• Her brow furrowed as she swung her legs over the edge of the couch, sitting up. "For what?" She questioned before she mentally slapped herself in her head. "Oh..right...yeah, thanks..." She let out a soft breath, her brow furrowed. She had tried so hard not think about him while making this decision, tried instead to focus on the little boy who was wandering out of the bedroom. "Yo, Keish, I'm hungry." He insisted, his voice so thug but oh so little boy also. (NT) -- Keisha, 02:53:17 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He frowned at the voice, but couldn' quite make it out "You busy? I wanted to talk..." Though what he wanted to say she may not wish to hear... he had to at least try though... besides, he wanted to find out about the guy who had replaced him so easily. (NT) -- Wes, 02:58:12 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• "Well, I..." She sighed softly, her brow furrowed as she looked to little Diondre, who preferred to just go by 'Dre'. "I am just about to make dinner...why don't you just stop by?" She figured by the time she had dinner done, Dre would be eating and then back to his video game that she had given him - a gameboy DS, or something like that. She couldn't deny him anything, even now...Wes that was, she knew how to say no to Dre. (NT) -- Keisha, 03:06:29 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He could just see it... her and her man messing around together in the kitchen like they so often used to, while he sat at the table trying not to pound the guys face in. He drew a breath and calmed himself down, she wouldn't invite him over if her guy was there. "I actually just ate... how about I come by in a couple of hours when you're done?" (NT) -- Wes, 03:10:03 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She pursed her lips, her head cocked to the side as she watched Dre and motioned for him to hang on. "Sure...thats fine...it shouldn't take long, how about sevenish?" She questioned, ushering Dre into the kitchen, mouthing to him to pick out what she wanted. She waited for him to answer and when he did she said a quick goodbye and went about feeding Dre and then sending him off to the living room to play. She went into the bedroom, tugging on a pair of jeans and an off the shoulders, soft white sweater - heading back into the kitchen to wait. (NT) -- Keisha, 03:15:43 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He sat there for a long while after he hung up, his fingers steepled under his chin, elbows propped on his knees as he stared into nothing. After a few minutes he went and dressed in his usual low hanging baggy jeans and jersey, even donning a black 'rag. It wasn't often he wore these clothes, even though he was most comfortable in them, mainly because his work took up so much of his time, he was usually dressed for work. He tipped his head back a touch as he watched himself in the mirror a moment, blowing his cheeks out as he let out a heavy breath and headed for the door. He arrived at her door right on seven, knocking twice, as he always did, bowing his head a touch as he stood and waited. (NT) -- Wes, 03:22:59 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She was trying to calm her emotions and was actually in the back room, hence the reason why Dre answered the door. He was actually dressed a lot like Wes in jeans that were a bit to big on him and a little roc-a-wear jersey. His brow cocked, all the man of the house as he looked up at Wes. "Who you?" He questioned, his little hand curled around the door as he stared up at the big man. (NT) -- Keisha, 03:25:44 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He faultered at the child, a little boy answering the door had been the last thing he'd expected. He frowned a touch and glanced the child over before glancing beyong the little boy "I'm Wessex...who are you?" he couldn't see Keisha anywhere... but she must be in... but who the hell was the kid? "Keisha here?" (NT) -- Wes, 03:34:13 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• "Whattya want with Keish?" He questioned, his chest puffing up as his little brow furrowed. Hearing the voices, Keisha emerged from the bedroom, letting out a soft breath and just freezing as she saw Wes - her eyes locked onto his. So many emotions ran across her beautiful Latina face before she just shook her head and forced her self to focus, her eyes on him for a second more before they dropped down to Dre, ruffling his short hair briefly. "It's alright, Dre, go on and play some more." (NT) -- Keisha, 03:36:29 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He frowned down at the child slightly at his use of the name only he seemed to use on her. But at the sound of her voice he quickly lifted his gaze back up. His breath caught in his throat as he took in the beautiful sight of her, pain shooting through him to see exactly what he was losing. He had to lean against the door frame for support as he gazed at her, her brow furrowing slightly as he dragged the rag from off his head idly, trying hard to find some words , only managing to produce a swift "Hey" (NT) -- Wes, 03:44:30 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• Dre watched warily for a second before he apperantly deemed that all was well and headed back over to the bedroom to play his game. She watched him go before she turned her eyes back to Wes, just taking in the sight of him for a minute. "Hey..." The word was just a breath, her lip tucked between her teeth as she watched him. "Do..do you want a drink or something?" (NT) -- Keisha, 03:54:38 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He could only shake his head, watching her a moment longer before stepping into the apartment, closing the door behind him "Sorry if I've interupted anything... do you have people over?" Who's else would the child be? (NT) -- Wes, 03:59:31 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• "No...no one is here." She stated before she motioned for him to come with her into the living room. She sat down in the chair, allowing him to have the couch that they had made love on so many times. Her knee's were immediatly drawn to her chest, her brow furrowed as she tried not to stare at him, tried to focus on anything but him and the way he was making her feel all over again. (NT) -- Keisha, 04:01:13 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He swallowed a little as he sank intot he couch, slouching back into it but without the comfort he usually felt here. His gaze lingered on her drawing a slight breath before glancing over his shoulder to where the child had disappeared "Who's the kid?" (NT) -- Wes, 04:09:44 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• "Thats Dre, he's...he's had a rough time of it." She let out a soft breath, feeling uncomfortable explaining the whole thing with Rich to Wes. She tipped her head, her eyes on him quietly before she let out a soft breath. "He's kinda like a foster kid right now.." The little boy was extremely protective of her. "So, I heard that your doing really well for yourself...thats great." She smiled genuinely at that, she had been one of the only ones that had completely encouraged him in anything that that he wanted to do so she was seriously excited for him over what he had become. (NT) -- Keisha, 11:43:10 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He cracked his knuckles a little nervously, and he cursed himself for it, she'd see right through him- although she always had hadn't she? Until the last act at least. He'd fooled her there. He nods a touch, his mind leaving the kid to glance back to her, drawing a silent breath "Yeah, I guess." It mostly meant nothing to him though. Sure he was successful...but for what? He had no one waiting at home for him at the end of a hard day... no one to spoil or spend all the hard earned cash on, save Nyah. "Look I'm sorry...I know I shouldn't be here... but I had to apologise...the way I treated you..." He frowned and ducked his head in frustraition, he sounded like a teenager. (NT) -- Wes, 23:04:40 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She let out a soft breath as she took in his words, shrugging her shoulders slowly. "it's all in the past now..." She murmured softly, her eyes going up to him for a brief moment before she smiled - the expression bittersweet. "You can't help what you didn't want, I was just...to caught up in everything to realize what you didn't want." She wasn't sure if that made sure to anyone else but her but she had come to believe that she had just wanted 'them' so badly that she had blinded herself to realizing that he was as into them as she was. (NT) -- Keisha, 23:15:24 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He run a hand over his head, tugging the rag away absently and winding it around his large hands. He took a moment before he spoke, glancing up to her with a slight sigh of disapointment "You believed that? That I didn't want you?" He shook his head a touch and glanced back down at his hands "Nyah and Josiah saw through it... but like you said... its all in the past... I just wanted you to know I regret it...and I'm sorry for ever hurting you." (NT) -- Wes, 23:22:26 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She cleared her throat softly, her brow furrowed as she gazed up at him, her head cocked to the side. "Why wouldn't I have believed you?" She questioned, letting out a soft breath. He had pushed her around, called her a bitch and a tramp and all sort of awful things had happened. It was all to late though, this apolagy, the feelings that were arising inside of her..it was all to late. Her arms wrapped around herself protectively, her brow furrowed still as she gazed down at the floor instead of at him. (NT) -- Keisha, 23:26:10 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He cocked his head and glanced to her, brow furrowed a touch, intense and thoughtful as he watched her, his voice low. "Because I loved you... I still love you... I wanted the best for you and I couldn't give you that then. " He turned to face her a little in the couch, his hand moving o rest on the inside of her knee gently as he watched her "Just tell me something... do you love him like you loved me?" (NT) -- Wes, 23:34:48 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• Her breath caught and she had to look away, her body tensing beneath his touch and with the way the conversation was going. She couldn't lie to him, she never had been able too, but she couldn't just fall back into his arms the moment that he looked twice at her again. Her lip tucked between her teeth as she let out a soft breath, her brow furrowed. "I...I can't answer that." She stated, her breath a little shaky as she brought her eyes back to his hand on her knee - and then back to his eye. (NT) -- Keisha, 23:39:04 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He squeezed gently at her knee, his dark gaze baring into hers unrelenting. He had convinced himself that he was giving up so she could move ontot he better things, but if she was wasting her heart how could it be better? "Then why are you marrying him? To spite me?" (NT) -- Wes, 23:50:13 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She frowned, dropping her eyes from his searching gaze, her own eyes a little shiny. "I haven't talked to you for two years Wes, I don't need to spite you." She bit her lip harshly, her brow furrowed as she shook her head yet again. "It's complicated, really complicated..." She turned her eyes down the hallway towards the bedroom where Dre was probably listening in on them. (NT) -- Keisha, 23:53:33 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• He let out a breath and nodded, setting his jaw and dipping his head. He took his hand back from her leg, that had been a move to far, he knew it... and it was about time he left. "Yeah... isn't everything..." He just wanted to be convinced he hadn't lost her for nothing. He wanted to be convinced that she was happy and loved... (NT) -- Wes, 23:59:51 12/28/04 Tue

  ---

• She gazed up at him with damp, tear stricken eyes. "I cried for months afterwards, Wes, I couldn't eat..I couldn't sleep..." She shook her head, he acted like it wasn't that big of a deal what he had done to her. "I am marrying Rich for Dre, I have a better chance of getting him permanently if I am married." He wouldn't understand though, he never wanted kids, he hadn't even neen upset when their own baby had been killed.... (NT) -- Keisha, 17:18:48 12/29/04 Wed

  ---

• He had been more concerned that she had almost been killed. She hadn't even known about the baby... what had she really lost? He swallowed hard and brought his head down, his fingers steepled over his nose a moment as he drew a breath "Keish I had to make you leave me... don't you get that? I was always drinking and smoking and hurting you... " He glanced up to her with pure regrat and hurt in his eyes, his voice low "I hurt you baby... I made you bruise... How could I let myself keep you when thats how I treated you? " He ran a hand over his dark brow and glanced away with a heavy sigh "It wasn't supposed to last this long... but after I'd graduated and got a job and quite all the shit... you'd already left... and now its all wasted... Your throwing your life away to guy you don't even love." (NT) -- Wes, 02:56:33 12/30/04 Thu

  ---

• "No." She was quick to argue, her hand lifting to finally touch him, running down his shaved head to his jaw to bring his gaze back to her serious one. "It's not wasted, Wessex, your finally living up to your potential and thats more important then anything. I always...always knew you could do it.." She sighed softly, gazing at him as her fingers played over his skin. "I couldn't stay here, not with all these memories haunting me..." (NT) -- Keisha, 13:13:06 12/30/04 Thu

  ---

• His gaze held hers, but he couldn't keep that trace of betrayal from it... he didn't blame her for moving on, he didn't feel betrayed because she'd found someone else, he felt betrayed because she hadn't- she wasn't in love witht he guy, she was wasted. "Don't marry him Keish... please..." He'd never begged for anything in his life, but he couldn't let her do this, no matter who else it effected. What would happenm when the boy was grown and all that was left was a fake marriage and no love? (NT) -- Wes, 13:46:40 12/30/04 Thu

  ---

• She let out a shaky breath, shaking her head. "I can't let Dre down...if I don't get married I can't adopt him and that means he can be taken away from me at anytime." She bit her lip lightly, gazing up at Wes for a second. "Rich loves Dre..." She felt so torn, her eyes on his before she questioned again. "If you hadn't seen I was getting married, would you ever have spoken to me again?" (NT) -- Keisha, 21:35:38 12/30/04 Thu

  ---

• He frowns a touch at that and leans back in the couch. He was possitive he would have , at some point, made himself see her... but this news had certainly put some panic into him. "Yes... if I hadn't called, would you have ever spoken to me?" (NT) -- Wes, 22:14:27 12/30/04 Thu

  ---

• "I don't know...your the one who told me to stay away from you." She could remember every word of what he said to her that night, it was etched in her mind and on her heart all the things he had labeled her so visciously. Her brow furrowed gently, shaking her head. "I don't know Wes, you only wanted me before when I seemed unavailable to you. What if all I am this time is just another challenge all over again?" She bit her lip lightly, her eyes on him quiet and tear filled. She was afraid to put her heart out on the line again. Wes was a risk, Rich wasn't. (NT) -- Keisha, 02:59:31 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• He frowned at that and glanced down, not quite sure he believed what she was saying... did she really doubt him that much? Had their relationship seemed that fickle to her? His tattoo he'd gotten for her still blazed down his left arm, the words etched "Love" down his arm to match his "Faith" on the other side. He'd done more for her than he'd ever done for any woman... but if she couldn't see that, maybe he was fighting a one sided battle. "If thats what you think then there not much point me wasting any more of your time." He rose to stand, reaching for his jacket quietly. (NT) -- Wes, 03:21:22 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• The tears threatened to spill over her cheeks as he stood to go, her hand reaching out to grab his wrist, drawing him back to where she was. "Don't...don't go again...not like this." She let out a soft breath, her brow furrowed. "It was a lot to go through, Wessex, the way that everything worked out and it hurt...a lot...you were my first...everything..." She let out a low breath, her hand still wrapped around his wrist. "You can't expect it to be fixed in a day." (NT) -- Keisha, 04:08:13 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• He hesitated before he looked back down to her, his gaze deep and soulful. he let out a sigh and twisted his hand to capture hers gently. "I 'm not expecting it to be fixed... i'm not even asking you to get back with me... just... don't marry this guy...please? there are other ways of keeping the kid if thats what you want , I'll be your lawyer, I'm good! I promise..." A helpess little smirk tugged half heartedly at his lips "I'm not doing this cause your met someone keish... If you loved him and were happy I'd never have even come..." (NT) -- Wes, 18:27:58 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• She couldn't help but offer a slight smile in return, at his quiet but so earnest words. "I know your good...." She bit her lip lightly at his words, it wasn't that she was unhappy with Rich and maybe even after time she would have grown to love him, but not in the same intense way that she would always love Wes.... (NT) -- Keisha, 18:32:06 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• He tipped his head to her earnestly, his gaze seeming to beg with her, capturing her. He sat back down beside her, still clutching her hand almost deperately, "Come on Keish... let me try this case... I know of plenty of other cases that tried in favour of the adopting parent... they just want proof that its best for the child...please...trust me." (NT) -- Wes, 22:18:47 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• She sighed softly, her brow furrowed gently as she looked at their hands, joined together so tightly as they had been so many times before. "I don't even know if I need a lawyer yet...He's such a great kid Wes..." Her smile turned a little wistful, almost bittersweet. "Reminded me of you as soon as I met him..." Really, that had been the reason she was so attached to him, so drawn to him in the first place... (NT) -- Keisha, 22:37:29 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• He cocked a brow at that, aware his hands still gripped hers, but unable to bring himself to pull them away just yet. He smirked a touch and sent his gaze down towards where he knew the kid was. "What'd he do? Pop a smoke and look up up and down?" (NT) -- Wes, 22:40:13 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• She laughed softly, the sound so rare and the first time he had heard it in a long time. "No...not quite..it was just the way he acted so hard and tough when people were around, but as soon as we were by ourselves, he was so sweet, and so obviously hurting and just willing to cuddle and be held.." She shrugged her shoulders, her fingers squeezing his gently. "Just reminded me of you..." (NT) -- Keisha, 22:43:59 01/02/05 Sun

  ---

• He smiled a touch at the sound of her laugh, dipping his head slightly at her words. He closed his eyes and brought her hands to his lips, letting out a heavy sigh. His voice was husky and deep as he mumbled relucant words against her delicate skin "I've loved and missed you more than you know..." (NT) -- Wes, 03:04:19 01/03/05 Mon

  ---

• She let out a deep breath, her eyes on his filling with tears once more. "I missed you too..." She murmured softly, reluctantly almost also. She was supposed to be getting married soon, and here she was, desperately wanting to be held by this strong man in front of her. Her hand that wasn't in his cupped his jaw, her thumb gently caressing his features as she gazed at him - obvious love in her eyes but she wasn't ready to just jump into declaring those words again. (NT) -- Keisha, 03:08:50 01/03/05 Mon

  ---

• He closed his eyes almost painfully, swallowing hard before releasing her hand. He had to stop this now before he couldn't make himself leave. He'd matured... and he saw she was cabaple of making her own decisions and choices... she was a woman now, and she'd never been more beautiful. "I have to go... just... think about what i said... please?" He cast her a final, painful glance, as though leaving her now was the hardest thing he'd ever done... and then stood, heading for the door. (NT) -- Wes, 03:16:14 01/03/05 Mon

  ---

• She stood up after him, her brow furrowed as she followed him to the door. "Yeah...yeah I will think about it..." She pursed her lips gently, her eyes searching his - a little confused. "Maybe I will see you sometime soon..." She stated quietly, letting him go without trying to touch him again, she wouldn't be content with a simple touch or squeeze of the hand... (NT) -- Keisha, 03:20:51 01/03/05 Mon

  ---

• He nodded gently, not trusting himself to bring his gaze to hers, fearing if he did he could never let her go. He leant towards her to brush a swift kiss to her cheek, murmering softly "You can count on it." He slipped out of the door with all the might he had left in him, running a hand over his dark skinned face as he went. (NT) -- Wes, 03:35:43 01/03/05 Mon
