• He had been making his rounds, sipping on champagne when he would much rather have a beer and wearing a tailored armani suit when he would much rather be in jeans and a t-shirt. He was a sucker for these charity events for kids though and being that he was a rather well known name, he always came to bring publicity to the cause. There was only so much he could take though, of the touching and fawning and the fakeness and before long he found himself slipping outside to the balcony, desperately wishing it wasn't so close to training so he could indulge in a cigar. His hand ran over his face as he dumped the rest of the bubbly in his glass into a potted plant and then placed the empty glass on a waiters empty try as he passed. With a smirk, he headed over to the railing before he noticed someone was out there. "Oh, excuse me, I didn't realize anyone was out here." (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 09 2006, 2:21pm PDT

• Portia had been trying to get a hold of the baby sitter to check Leo was alright but she had no reception here- just her luck. She turned around as she heard the male voice, laughing gently as she saw who it was "kier... hey." She hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks and hadn;t even considered the fact that he may be here- not that it mattered- infact it may make her evening a little more enjoyable. "How are you?" (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 09 2006, 2:34pm PDT

  ---

• He cocked a brow, recognizing the voice. "Portia?" He questioned, his head turning as he gazed at her. He knew she was beautiful and she belonged in circles like this but he didn't know she actually moved in circles like this. "What are you doing here?" He didn't know what she did, he just knew she was an adorable mother, had a great kid and was plenty of fun to be spending time with, something he enjoyed thoroughly. He shifted his weight before he headed over to the railing next to her, his eyes moving over her form. "You look great...nice dress." (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 09 2006, 2:52pm PDT

  ---

• She grinned gently as he came over, shrugging her delicate bare shoulders gently "My agency make us come... I don;t normally but its a charity event so..." She scrunches her nose a little as if she knew her explanation was vague. "I'm a model" She added, realising she'd never gotten into what she did with him. She let a hand pass over her torso almost self consciously as he complemented her, smiling gratefully "Thank you...You look great too..." She felt almost awkward here with him. She normally had Leo there to hide behind, to give her something to talk about with him, to keep her from thinking about the growing crush she had on him. "I hate these things..." she confessed quietly "I always feel so guilty being here and leaving Leo home... and everyone is so fake and pretentious" She all but whispered, casting a glance over her shoulder to the lip-servicing lot indoors. (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 09 2006, 2:59pm PDT

  ---

• "I should have figured..." He murmured lightly, in reference to her being a model. His brow furrowed a touch, running his hand down his face as he let out a soft breath and then laughed at her hushed voice as if she was telling him a secret. "It's good for you to get away from the kid every once in awhile...I take my niece and nephew all the time so my sister can get a few minutes to herself..." He smiled a little, watching her. "Most girls would like getting all dressed up and having a night out schmoozing...but I agree...the people do tend to be a little 'better than thou' with their attitudes..." (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 09 2006, 3:12pm PDT

  ---

• She grinned a little at his murmering, laughing gently as she sipped at the champagne. She smiled and nodded as he continues "I know... But he always gives me these looks that just make my heart melt." She grinned gently, almost bashfully at her sentimentality. (NT) -- Portia, Thu, Aug 10 2006, 8:30am PDT
  • She grinned a little at his murmering, laughing gently as she sipped at the champagne. She smiled and nodded as he continues "I know... But he always gives me these looks that just make my heart melt." She grinned gently, almost bashfully at her sentimentality. She was a dedicated mother and Leo was a good kid. He was all she had. "We haven't seen you in a few weeks... have you been busy?" She asked, more to make conversation than anything- leo always made things so easy between them- now she was all alone with him she felt like a silly little girl tlaking to her crush at a school dance. (NT) -- Portia, Thu, Aug 10 2006, 8:32am PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, training started and that keeps me pretty busy, I commute back and forth from Miami even though I have an apartment there...I tend to miss my family and stuff if I am gone to long..." he shrugged a little, it wasn't intensive training yet, it was pre-season enough to where there wasn't a huge pressure on his shoulders as of the moment but it would get to that point in time, he knew that for sure. He looked down at her with a smile, his head tipped to the side. "Why don't you just bring Leo with you to these things? He'd look good all in a suit..." (NT) -- Kier, Thu, Aug 10 2006, 10:11am PDT

  ---

• She laughed gently at that, her brown eyes lighting up as she did so. She was finding it far easier than she had expected. It was a nice warm evening and the stars were out in full force, and the hustle and bustle of the party inside didn;t quite reach them here. "It shows how desperate for company you are when you bring your three year old son with you to a charity dance, huh?" She grinned playfully. She was also doing all she could to help him live a normal life- his life was abnormal enough having parents who didn't life together and an inconsitant other woman in his daddy's life. She didn't want to mess him up any more. (NT) -- Portia, Thu, Aug 10 2006, 10:21am PDT

  ---

• "Nah, not desperate for company...just an attentive mom is all." He smiled lightly, tipping his head. "I promised my niece Trinity that she could be my date to one of these things someday." He shrugged his broad shoulders, letting out a soft breath as he looked out over the balcony onto the expensive, expansive gardens beneath them. "Wanna take a walk?" He questioned, it seemed like a nice night to go for a walk among the foliage and it would get them away from the crowds for a little bit at least. Besides, he enjoyed her company, had for awhile now, and was eager to accept the exucuse presented to him to be in her presence for a little extra while. (NT) -- Kier, Fri, Aug 11 2006, 2:50pm PDT

  ---

• Portia smiled and nodded gently. "Yeah, sure..." The excuse to get away fromt he part for a while was very appealing- as was his company. It was a warm evening and her strapless dress would not render her too chilled. She took his lead down the stone steps from the balcony and let her gaze travel over the fairly-lit trees and sculptures, the sound of falling water coming from the fountains around them as they walked along. She smiled a little to herself as she thought of some. Serento was much like this- grand hotels with beautiful gardens- though planted a little more exotically- mediterainian plants and palms. "Its beautiful" She mused, brushing her dark curls back from her face. (NT) -- Portia, Fri, Aug 11 2006, 3:01pm PDT

  ---

• "Yeah it is, very peaceful." He stated agreeably, offering her his arm as he escorted her through the gardens after going down the stairs outside. "I should get a place like this someday, my brothers and sisters are always complaining about how I live in an apartment when I should invest in a house." He shrugged a little, looking out over the plants. "Just seems...lonely...to live in a house all by myself, you know? Big and empty..at least an apartment is small enough where I don't feel like I am wasting all the space...can't hear my words echoing when I talk to the dog..." He grinned boyishly, looking down at her before he shifted to cover her hand on his arm with his own. (NT) -- Kier, Fri, Aug 11 2006, 3:08pm PDT

  ---

• She tucked herself close to his side as they walked, the smooth material of his jacket brushing against her bare arm as they slowly walked. "I should buy a house... it just feels like such a grown up thing to do..." She smiled ruefully, lifting her dark eyes to meet his gaze. She felt his hand cover hers and glanced down to it, smiling warmly before glancing back to the gardens. "I think if you bought a house... a family would soon fill it... maybe it'd give you an incentive to settle down" She laughed a little and flashed him a playful grin- she was quite sure that if he really wanted to settle down he would have no difficulty finding the perfect girl- he was such a nice guy, and good looking to boot. (NT) -- Portia, Fri, Aug 11 2006, 3:46pm PDT

  ---

• "I would say I am mostly settled down now...like I mean, I still go out and have some fun every once in awhile but my days of partying every night and drinking till I pass out are long over." He shrugged his shoulders, looking down at her. It may make him seem boring but really he was far from that too, he had just matured a lot more than most of his team mates did and he wanted different things out of life. "A family couldn't come to soon...don't get me wrong, I love kids and all that but...I wouldn't want to bring a baby into the world if me and the mom weren't totally cool and intent on being together for the long haul." He smiled down at her, admiration in his gaze. "I don't think I could be as strong as you are..." (NT) -- Kier, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 10:26am PDT

  ---

• >> -- POrtia, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 10:38am PDT

  ---

• He laughed at that, shaking his head. "Oh, honey, I think you have put me on a pedestal that I don't deserve to be on. I am definiately no perfect man or anything like that, I definately have my share of faults...I smoke cigars a little to frequently, I am an incredable snob when it comes to wine and I have a slight addiction to...models." He winked lightly, though it kind of tripped him up that he had probably slept with the majority of her coworkers at one time or another. He wasn't sure why that bothered, he had never been ashamed or embarassed by his ability to bed many, many girls before but suddenly, he found himself hoping she didn't frown on him for it. (NT) -- Kier, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 10:43am PDT

  ---

• She blushed a touch as he spoke, laughing softly as she lifted her dark eyes upto him "I just speak as I find Kier... though I'll be willing to bet plenty of models have an addiction to you too." She grinned a little and let her hands slip from his, turning to walk down one of the garden paths, casting him a glance over her shoulder before flashing him another smile. She wasn't so naive to think he hadn't slept with his fair share of woman- infact she didn;t doubt he'd slept with a lot of peoples fair share of women... it was to be expected with his good looks, fame and charm. What woman wouldn't want a peice of him? "But I still think you deserve your pedestal." She grinned a little and turned another corner, finding herself in a little covert of willow trees with a fountain in the middle. (NT) -- Portia, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 10:56am PDT

  ---

• He watched her for a moment, shaking his head again. "I think your jaded by your ex's behavior and any guy who isn't a total asshole seems like a winner or your book." He stated honestly, trailing behind her. "Not saying you have low standards or anything but...well...I don't know what I am saying." He smirked, shrugging his broad shoulders. He was smart enough to realize that his train of thought wouldn't seem flattering to her and he didn't want to upset her or make her uncomfortable. "They are going to start wondering where we disappeared too." He murmured as he approached her by the fountain. "Going to start the rumour mills." He could care less what the people inside said about him but he didn't want them talking or even thinking about her. (NT) -- Kier, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 10:59am PDT

  ---

• Portia smirked ruefully as he spoke, walking around the circumference of the fountain "Maybe I am... maybe my standards are low... Or maybe you're modest." She smiled a touch at him before letting her gaze fall down tot he water, trailing her fingers in it absently as she came to a halt infront of him. His honesty and modesty was freshing though... and she wouldn;t have it any other way. She grinned a little as he spoke again, she too cared little about the rumours that were spread. She leant back against the fountain, bringing her deep brown eyes to him with a soft smile "You can go back..." she spoke plainly, arching a soft brow to him, letting him know he didn;t need to stay out here with her if he didn;t wish to. "But I think the people in there are too busy talking about themselves to talk about us." She smiled a little, tipping her head to the side gently as she watched him. (NT) -- Portia, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 11:20am PDT

  ---

• He smirked at that, nodding as he dropped down to sit on the edge of the fountain, his elbows resting on his knee's as he gazed up at her. "Yeah, I think you are probably right about that, they are a shallow group, aren't they? Even though they are supposed to be here for charity, they are really here just to help themselves to free food and a round of social roulette." He smirked lightly, shrugging his huge shoulders again before he shifted to tug off his suit jacket, looking over at her for a moment. Quietly, he stood, heading over to drape the jacket over her shoulders - seeing the way she rubbed her arms - before he sat back down without any ceremony or words. (NT) -- Kier, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 1:20pm PDT

  ---

• Portia accepted the jacket with a smile, drawing it over her shoulders a little more and glancing over to him with a gentle smile "Thank you" Kier was a good guy- no matter what he though... and they were rare to find from Portia's experience. He was an eligable catch, and she'd envy the lucky girl when he finally found her and decided to settle down. "So how do you expect to find the woman you want to marry if you don't do the social thing?" She grinned playfully. She'd resolved herself some time ago that Leo came first and any hope she had of romance was probably long gone. Moms weren't exactly the top of every guys priority list. (NT) -- Portia, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 2:16pm PDT

  ---

• He laughed at that, shifting his head too look at his new friend for a moment. "You seem awfully intent on me finding 'the one' and settling down...have you been talking to my mom?" He always got lectured, always got the talk from his mom about how even Kane had settled down and was now doing well and he was still bacheloring it up and he was the oldest in the family. Ceci could be quite the little finger shaker, that damn pointer finger shaking away as she scolded him for an incident of a fight reported on the news, or a picture of him with yet another unknown of (by his mom) woman in the social section. "I don't think I would want to marry any of the women in there anyways." (NT) -- Kier, Sun, Aug 13 2006, 2:20pm PDT

  ---

• Portia laughed gently and drew the jacket around herself a little tighter, gazing up at the starts with amusement. She was a much calmer young woman than she had been as a child- she suppose dit was to do with having Leo so young. She had had to mature quickly. "You just strike me as being ready for it... thats all" She spoke softly, castig him a soft glance and a smile before she lifted her eyes back tot he sky with a content sigh. (NT) -- POrtia, Mon, Aug 14 2006, 9:06am PDT

  ---

• He shrugged again, placing one hand on her opposite side so that his large arm was supporting her back in case she wanted to lean back. "I suppose some days I would agree with you on that..other days I wouldn't, not so much at least..." he shrugged a little. "I think I travel to much for a family, I would feel bad leaving for 6 months out of every year you know? And I couldn't ask a girl to travel that with me..." He shrugged again, his career didn't cater to marriage though many men made it work. (NT) -- Kier, Mon, Aug 14 2006, 9:15am PDT

  ---

• She glanced over to him as he put an arm behind her to support her, leaning back against it easily. "I see your point... it would be hard." She nodded softly, pursing her lips softly and thoughtfully as he gaze travelled the skies. She supposed Kier was the type to really commit to something...which was good. She eyes lit up and a smile spread across her features as she watched a star shoot across the sky "make a wish" she murmered to him, pointing it out to him. "Leo stares out his window every night for about half an hour before he goes to bed- waiting and hoping for a falling star...." She laughed softly and glanced over to Kier with a smile, flashing her perfect pearly white teeth. "I talk about Leo way too much don't I? See this is why I would make a terrible girlfriend." She spoke playfully, lifting her gaze back to the stars. (NT) -- Portia, Mon, Aug 14 2006, 9:22am PDT

  ---

• "Nah, just makes you a good mom." He stated honestly, looking over at her before he looked back up to the sky, absently making a half hearted wish in his head before he looked back to her once again. "Who watches him when you go out like this? Your family really helpful?" It helped to have an involved family, that was for sure. "His dad doesn't see him to often?" That was sad to him, at least Kai had stepped up to his responsibilites and was now a father to both of his children. He was actually doing well for his sister and that made Kier happy, meant he didn't have to kick anyone's ass at least. (NT) -- Kier, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 10:36am PDT

  ---

• She smiled and nodded at his question about her family, casting him a soft glance "yeah... my sister watches him from time to time and my brother is great... he has a little girl and they love each other... But we have a nanny ... she's real nice with him..." Though there was a note of regret in her voice - she hated that Maria spent more time with her son than she did some days- but she was a working mom and she was supporting them both herself- Adam was in college so he couldnt afford to give them anything- and she didn;t ask. "His dad see's him when he can... Used to be more... but his ex girlfriends back on the scene and she feels 'wierd' about Adam being a father... and she doesn;t like me... So he doesn't see Leo as much..." She shrugged a touch and looked to Kier, offering a smile. Adam was immature... and while he loved Leo, she knew he loved Kendell too. (NT) -- Portia, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 1:49pm PDT

  ---

• His brow knitted at that, his hand lifting up to run over his shaved head. "Kinda shady to let a girl come between your relationship with your kid..." He murmured, almost to himself before he realized he had said it outloud and shrugged apolagetically to Portia. "Not meaning to talk trash or anything..." He wasn't sure what her feelings towards the baby's daddy was so he didn't want to step on any toes but he knew he would never compare his love for his child to his love for a woman, they were on two totally different planes of existance, they couldn't be compared. (NT) -- Kier, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 3:40pm PDT

  ---

• She smiled sadly and nodded a touch, before shrugging her shoulders. She always tried not to think too badly of Adam... he did love Leo and Leo adored his father- she didn;t want any bad blood between them. "I think its pretty hard for Adam... he's pretty immature... and in college... so having a kid too is pretty tough on him I guess..." He was 2 years older than her... but had never really acted it. "But to be honest I agree with you... but it's not my place ... I don't have anything to do with Adams life..." She couldn;t ever even conceive of a man coming between her and her son- if he was 110% perfectly on board with Leo he had no chance. There was no sacrifice too big when it came to your child. (NT) -- Portia, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 3:51pm PDT

  ---

• "If it's to hard on to be a dad he should have been more careful with sleeping around." he stated, his brow furrowed, he had little patience for men like that - who couldn't handle or deal with the consequences of their actions. It was why he had little pity for his buddy Marc when he was down about getting no where when it came to getting his ex Ashley to give him another chances - the other man had made his bed and now it was time to lie in it. His jaw set heavily as he cleared his throat and shook his head, smiling apolagetically at her again. "Sorry...sometimes I put my foot into things that aren't my business." He shrugged sheepishly before he looked back out over the gardens, it really was a beautiful night..he had beautiful, charming company...he couldn't ask for a whole lot more than that. (NT) -- Kier, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 3:58pm PDT

  ---

• She lifted her gaze to him softly and smiled almost sadly "It takes two." She was to blame as much as Adam was... "Maybe I should have been more careful who I slept around with." She spoke softly, and couldn;t quite meet his gaze. She was bu no means the innocent party in this. She had been young and cocky and stupid and while she regretted her behaviour she couldn't regret the result. Her son was her life, and Adam would mature and realise that too - hopefully before it was too late. Portia stood slowly, feeling that perhaps her company was getting stale for Kier, smiling appologetically at him as she made to remove his jacket and hand it back to him "I should let you get back to the party..." She didn;t want him cursing her name later on for keeping him away from those models he was so enamoured with. (NT) -- Portia, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 4:44pm PDT

  ---

• He really did have a way with putting his foot in his mouth and for a moment he was confused as to what was making her basically tell him to take a hike. Suddenly he realized how she had taken his comment and he shook his head, lifting his hand to take two fingers and place them under her chin, tipping it up so he could look at her in the eyes. "I am no picture of perfect behavior either, sweetheart, I am just saying you are more mature than most for owning up to consequences and responsabilities. "I respect that a lot, a lot of people I know just don't know how to deal with the fallout of the choices they make..." He shrugged a little again, dropping his hand. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to insult you or anything..." (NT) -- Kier, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 4:52pm PDT

  ---

• Portia lifted her her deep brown eyes for him as he tipped her chin up, swallowing softly. She watched him gently , listening , before a smile returned slightly too her lips, shaking her head a touch as he appologized for insulting her. "You don;t need to appologize... you didn;t insult me." She had heard much worse, and what he said had been true- they should have been more careful... but she couldn;t change what was past, and even if she could, she wouldn't. She reached for his hand and squeezed it tenderly , offering him a soft smile. "I just don't want to keep you out here if you don;t want to be here" She spoke honestly, shrugging her shoulder softly. (NT) -- Portia, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 5:02pm PDT

  ---

• He took the jacket and shrugged it back on before he stood up, looking down at her. "So you didn't come with a date, right?" He questioned, his eyes moving over her features. She really was a pretty girl, classically beauiful in a way few possessed. She was gorgeous but she didn't look like a manufactured barbie doll either. Her hair was beautiful, tousled over her shoulder, the gown perfectly forming her body and showing off lithe curves. She had the kind of body that he usually went for, shaped and looking like a model but he wasn't so much interested in her body as he was just interested in her. (NT) -- Kier, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 5:15pm PDT

  ---

• She cocked a brow at him as he stood and took his jacket, lifting her gaze up to his curiously as he spoke. She shook her head , watching him as she spoke "No, I came alone." She didn't date...generally. The guys that dated woman in her profession were generally just after one or both of two things- a trophey on their arm or a lay... and she was neither. (NT) -- Portia, Tue, Aug 15 2006, 5:24pm PDT

  ---

• At her answer, he smiled, extending a hand to help her up. "Well then what do you say we go inside, dance a bit and then get out of this place? We'll go to denny's or something...just hang out?" He smiled warmly, hoping she would accept. He really was enjoying spending time with her, in her company and he hoped he hadn't pissed her off with his thoughtless comments. His head cocked to the side as he watched her, a charming, boyish expression on his face. He wasn't really looking forward to going into the den of vipers again but spending a few moments with her in his arms, dancing, sounded good enough to make him willing to brave the socialites. (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 11:04am PDT

  ---

• She grinned brightly and softly, her eyes flashing up at him as she took his hand and stood elegantly "That sounds perfect" She smiled, her italian tones lilting her accent delicately. She had grown up in venice- romance was just a part of her, and she fit very well into it. She didn't mind the prospect of returning to the bustling, pretentious crowds if it meant she was with him. "Oh... let me just try calling home again, I wont be a moment..." (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 11:11am PDT

  ---

• He grinned, tucking her hand into the crook of his arm as he escorted her back towards the inside of the building but paused when she asked him too. He smiled a touch before he covered her hand with his, tipping his head to the side so he could gaze down at her for a long moment. "Didn't you say someone in your family is watching him?" He questioned, a smile on his face. "Don't you think they would have called you if something was wrong?" He cocked a brow, gently closing his hand over hers on the flip phone she was holding, effectively closing it. "You're an amazing mother, Portia, but I have a feeling you don't let yourself just be an amazing woman quite enough." (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 11:32am PDT

  ---

• Portia lifted her gaze to his as he closed her hand over her phone, her brown eyes like melted pools of chocolate gaze up at him curiously as he closed her phone. "I suppose... "she started, a smile slipping over her lips almost bashfully. She was cut off as he continued, unsure how to respond to him, but feeling a soft, pretty blush colour her bronzed cheeks. She leant up and brushed a kiss to his cheek demurely, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth "Well lets work on that..." (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 12:07pm PDT

  ---

• He smiled again, taking her hand into the crook of his arm as he led into the building. He grabbed them both a glass of wine before he headed over to the dance floor, already being stopped by a few men to ask him what he thought his team was going to be able to do that year. He politely answered their questions but quickly got out of the conversation so he could lead her over to the marble tired dancefloor, setting their glasses on a passing waiters tray. His arms wrapped softly around her waist, not to close to be imappropiate or to forward, just casually touching her as he started swaying to the music. (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 12:29pm PDT

  ---

• Portia fit into his strong arms delicately, her tall, lithe frame coupled with her heels meaning she asn;t dwarfed by him at all, in fact she looked about perfect with him. Her arm wound up around his neck loosely, the other resting on his arm, her hand resting over his biceps lightly as she danced slowly with him, her dark eyes flicking around them a moment before looking up to him, and remaining locked on him as she offered him a soft, content smile. (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 12:35pm PDT

  ---

• It was one of the reasons he liked models, they had the long legs that could easily wrap around him while...well, that was an inappropiate train of thought that was going to get him in trouble. His hand shifted to run down to cup her hip, drawing her a little bit closer to him. A smile played on his lips as he gazed down at her, liking the way she seemed so content in his arms. He pressed his luck by drawing her closer to him, his hand slipping a little lower on her hip. (NT) -- Kier, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 12:50pm PDT

  ---

• Portia allowed herself a secret smile as he pulled her in closer, letting him, her face almost side by side to his. his hand was warm against her hip, and she felt strangly comforted by it. She didn;t pay any notice to anyone around them- or to what they said- or their lack of suprise that Kier was with yet another model... she didn;t care in the least, she was far to content in his arms to worry about any of that. (NT) -- Portia, Wed, Aug 16 2006, 1:02pm PDT
