• The exotic looking brazilian girl made her way in her usual easy and relaxed, unphased manner. Her skin was nicely bronzed from her month in Hawaii with Blake, and she was overjoyed that she had finally been signed. She had really shone out on the waves last week, and it had really paid off for her. She ordered a smoothie for herself, not yet noticing her little cousin and her ex. She hadn;t heard about her cousin and Kylie, she'd been out and about all morning. (NT) -- Arista, Sun, Feb 05 2006, 1:40pm PST

• Liani straightened in her seat when she heard Arista enter, she had been watching the comings and goings through the little cafe with a very sharp eye while waiting for her drink to come, and she didn't miss a beat when her favorite cousin came in. She shouted, shrilly. "Ari! Ari!" Pointing and making such a fuss that Kevin turned around before he could think about trying to avoid her. He straightened a bit when he saw her too... she looked good, she looked damn good. He loved Kenzi with all of his heart and soul, but Arista was like a breath of sea air -- she stood for everything whimsical and childish and airy and light. Before he could do much else, Liani had scrambled off of her stool and headed toward Arista, only to run into her knees and clamp her little arms around them.

  • It was a natural thing here for his teeth to worry his lower lip for a second when he looked up. He had, in his heyday been the bad ass of all bad asses, but time had changed him, and he had always carried the childhood habit of chewing his lip when he was uncomfortable or frustrated. Uncomfortable was an understatement, but he was determined to make this be okay. He offered his best smile and nodded to the seat beside him. "Hey Arista.. did you get the news on Ky and Dom?" He handed Liani's drink to her, she drank it through a straw as to avoid any potential messes. (NT) -- Ke, Sun, Feb 05 2006, 2:09pm PST

• She arched a brow slightly as she settled on the seat with Liani in her lap, helping her hold the glass so she wouldnt spill. "No! Have they had the baby?" Her eyes lit up a little... she stayed very close with Kylie over the past nine months and had been following her pregnancy as closely as she was able to. Family was important to her. (NT) -- Arista, Sun, Feb 05 2006, 2:33pm PST

• He took a long drink of his own beverage and shook his head. "No baby yet, but they're at the hospital.. she's been really uncomfortable so they called me this morning and I picked up the rugrat." At that, he reached out to playfully ruffle Liani's hair, and wink at her. He loved the little girl to death and back, he supposed it was how he made up for the empty space left of the lost baby of Kenzi's back in the day. He and Arista had, many a day, picked the little girl up and taken her on day trips to take some stress off of Kylie, and now they were flying solo pretty much. "You should have seen Dom this morning, he was nearly going through himself with excitement. Kylie was a bit pissed though." He smiled a bit, thinking back on the scene that had unfolded that morning before his eyes and the rising on the sun. It was easy to talk to her when he wasn't thinking of them but of something else, like Kylie and Dom's new arrival. (NT) -- Kev, Sun, Feb 05 2006, 2:44pm PST

• Arista smiled brightly, her blue eyes softening, showing that she was relaxing. This would be the first time they had spoken since she had given him up that day, it was bound to be awkward... but she was suprised that things seemed to get easier as they talked- as long as they kept to safe ground like Kylie and Dom. "Thats so exciting... are you excited Lili?" She bounced the little girl before settling her on the seat inbetween them. (NT) -- Arista, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 11:11am PST

• He watched Liani intently as she straightened herself back up on her chair, not looking up but instead wrapping her hands around her cup and nodding, her dark curls bouncing as she nodded vigorously in response to Ari's question. "yes!" Kevin's head cocked a moment, watching his niece.. he could imagine that a daughter of Ari's would look exactly the same -- the same dark curls.. shaking the cobwebby thoughts out, he looked up, giving a smile. "Well you'll have to ask Kylie about that one, as far as the exciting part, I think she's just anxious to have the baby in her arms. The doctors think this will be a much easier birth than Little Miss Muffet here was." He reached down to ruffle Li's hair and she, in turn, looked up to glare at him.

• Arista grinned softly at the little girls glare, laughing a little before reaching to tweak a lock of hair "what happened to my beautiful little Liani?" She teased gently, lifting her gaze back up to Kevin with a friendly smile. "How about you Kev? How are you doing?" (NT) -- Arista, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 12:06pm PST

  ---

• He nodded slowly, pondering appropriate responses.. "I'm alright.." It was hard to think of what was safe to talk about -- he certainly wouldn't be interested in hearing her blab about getting married and living with whoever she was with, so he didn't think it was right to go on about Kenzi -- though it seemed that she more or less consumed his life, along with the preparation for the wedding and all that sort of thing, but not in a bad way.. he liked being distracted by it all, and he loved seeing Kenzi happy, and knowing what was going on in their future. "What are you up to anyways? Getting all sorts of media coverage?" (NT) -- Kev, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 12:12pm PST

• She laughed gently at that and shrugged it off, she wasn't in the least pretentious and her head didn;t get inflated by the attention, in all honesty she was just waiting for it all to blow over, like it always did. The press liked her because she was friendly and patient- she let them do their job and they didn;t bash her when she didn;t always do hers perfectly- but with her talent it was rare that she messed up too badly. "I don;t know about that... " Sometimes it seemed to her lik she was only in the media because of her boyfriend and the latest bit of gossip, but they could never find too much... her and Blake spent every free moment together and it was obvious to everyone how they felt for each other. "I hear you're getting married, congratulations." She smiled gently, though it was clearly sincere. She was happy for him, she had only ever wanted him to be happy. (NT) -- Arista, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 12:26pm PST

  ---

• Regardless of whether or not she actually wanted to talk about the wedding, he didn't feel comfortable talking about it. Whether or not she felt awkward about the whole thing, he did, and he shifted a little uncomfortably. "yeah.. thanks.." he averted his eyes a moment before looking back to her. "And what about you and Blake?" He only knew because of the media -- the pictures in celebrity gossip magazines .. he still wasn't sure how to feel about the entire thing as none of this had been his idea. Of course he loved Kenzi.. (NT) -- Kevin, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 1:01pm PST

  ---

• Of course it was awkward to acknowledge, and a part of her would always feel hurt by him... they never would have lasted- it was hardly the ideal way to build a relationship - from lies and indescretions. But she was happy for him, she would always care about him and want him to be happy. "We're good... thanks." She sensed his reluctance to ask, and knew it was only to be spoilt, so she didn;t dwell on it. It may not have been his idea- but it had been his fault. (NT) -- Arista, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 1:07pm PST

• spoilt=polite! (NT) -- gah, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 2:59pm PST

• He was truly at a loss now, they had covered all of the "safe" territory and he was starting to feel guilty that he had made this happen.. He looked from Ari, flashed a brief smile, and looked back at Li, tugging on one of her curls lightly. "So what are you doing this winter? You can't be surfing.. or some off season training? It's awfully cold." Liani looked up as though she had been prompted to add her comment and nodded. (NT) -- Keb, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 3:09pm PST

• "We've been away in Hawaii most of the winter actually... just been home for a few weeks, having a break, helping my dad out in the shop and stuff... spending some time with the girls... you wouldn;t believe how grown up they are now... " She loved her little sisters more than anything, but as a ten year old child she hadn;t been so enthusiatic about it, and though Ana Lucia was getting a little mouthy these days , she still adored her fathers and Tia's children. (NT) -- Arista, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 3:19pm PST

• "Your timing couldn't be more perfect then, you're here to see Kylie and Dom's new addition. Funny how those things work." He twisted on his turning stool and took a sip from his hot coffee drink before turning back to her, she had given him more fuel for conversation -- he truly didn't want it to just peter out and go away -- "So have you been in the water here or what? I see a couple out there every now and again, but the water is colder than the air, I could imagine how frigid it would be." (NT) -- Lev, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 3:25pm PST

  ---

• She smiled and nodded, brushing her fingers through Liani's hair affectionately "Yeah it is." She thre a glance outside at the dull cold weather outside and gave a soft sigh- she really did hate the colder weather. "I've been out on a few of the milder mornings... but sometimes its just far too cold, even with wet suits... " (NT) -- Ari, Mon, Feb 13 2006, 3:45pm PST
