Subject: So where were you when the world stopped turning?

A strong hand ran over a recently shaved head as the young man stood at the door, patiently, well, not so patiently, waiting for his brother to answer. Their father wanted all the boys there that morning for a 'meeting' and Dante had been neglecting to answer his cell, so here was Dom - always the messenger. With a growl he knocked again, harder this time.

He awoke slowly, and reluctantly to the knocking. With a low groan of irritation, he rolled carefully out of bed - trying not to disturb Sienna - and pulled on a pair of sweats as he headed to the door - pulling it open with a dozey yawn and running his fingers through his disheveled hair. (NT) -- Dante, 19:39:11 03/18/03 Tue
His eyes were dark as he stepped inside, not waiting for a invitation. "You've been being called all day." He stated immediatly. "Papa wants you there now, there's a issue with..." He was cut off as a female voice was heard, dante's name a question on her lips. (NT) -- Dom, 19:40:45 03/18/03 Tue
He shifted a little uncomfortably - glancing nervously towards the partially open bedroom door and called out pleadingly. "Just a second..." Looking back to his brother, he nodded - hoping to get him out of there quickly. "Yeah, sorry, I was sleeping... I'll take a quick shower and meet you back at home." (NT) -- Dante, 19:43:21 03/18/03 Tue
Unfortunantly, he had no such luck. Dom's eyes flew up, immediatly flying towards the bedroom door. "Not like you to bring 'round random girls Dante." His voice was low, so the girl wouldn't hear. (NT) -- Dom, 19:46:29 03/18/03 Tue
He sighed, discreetly positioned between the other man and the bedroom. "No one said anything about a random girl, Domineco. Why don't you just head home and I'll be there in a bit." (NT) -- Dante, 19:48:37 03/18/03 Tue
Dom knew how to get the information he wanted, and he was good at what he did. Subtly he raised his voice,eyeing his brother with a level gaze. "Bring home another girl from the club dante? All these one night stands must be wearing you down. That girl you brought home last night, probably didn't even let you sleep did she?" (NT) -- Dom, 19:52:45 03/18/03 Tue
His gaze darkened a touch, not the least bit amused - Sienna wasn't a girl that he wanted to get the wrong idea about him. "It's none of your business Dom, go home." (NT) -- Dante, 19:55:29 03/18/03 Tue
He nodded again. "Oh, I will - Papa wants to talk about the Santino family again, you know, that problem you had with the one brother..." He cocked a brow, not moving his gaze from Dante's eyes. (NT) -- Dom, 19:56:58 03/18/03 Tue
"Yeah, well why don't you save it for Papa to talk about?" He glared, crossing his arms over his bare chest. (NT) -- Dante, 20:00:10 03/18/03 Tue
His gaze drifted for just a moment to sweet the apartment carefully, his eyes narrowing on the italian horn necklace that Sienna had slipped off, letting it lie on the table. He knew who it belonged to - the 'SS' charm lay behind it. "Because papa, is going to want to talk to you about a whole lot more then that." (NT) -- Dom, 20:04:16 03/18/03 Tue
His gaze narrowed, shaking his head slowly. "Don't say a word, Dom. It's none of your business." (NT) -- Dante, 20:06:03 03/18/03 Tue
He lowered his voice again, his arms crossing heavily. "Watch it Dante, your makin' this shit everyone's business, it's not something to be messin' around with - and if you were around more you'd know that." He wanted his brother to be happy, but there was a lot at risk. (NT) -- Dom, 20:11:01 03/18/03 Tue
"It's none of anyone's business, Dom. This has nothing to do with Papa, or Santino, or anyone - just us." His voice was low - attempting to not worry Sienna. (NT) -- Dante, 20:15:05 03/18/03 Tue
"I have nothing against her Dante, nothing, but her family has a lot of shit against us - it's not her fault she is who she is..." He paused, trying to think of how to phrase it. "But there's problems between our families now, big ones." (NT) -- Dom, 20:19:25 03/18/03 Tue
"I don't want to know." He shook his head - never before had he wished more that he was someone different. "I don't care anyone - I don't want to know what's going on. You can tell Papa I said that." It didn't matter... Before next week he'd be out of the country. (NT) -- Dante, 20:21:41 03/18/03 Tue
That made him angry. "No respect Dante, what the hell happened to you?" (NT) -- Domineco, 20:27:55 03/18/03 Tue
"There's more to life then the family and all it's drama." He mumbled quietly - he didn't like fighting with them, but he wanted Sienna. (NT) -- Dante, 20:31:49 03/18/03 Tue
"The family gave you everything you have!" He shook his head, growling out. "You embarass me." (NT) -- Dom, 20:35:28 03/18/03 Tue
His brows furrowed and he sighed tiredly. "And it has the ability to take away everything that I love." (NT) -- Dante, 20:36:19 03/18/03 Tue
He shook his head. "it's a girl Dante, a girl, they come - they go - your family, especially this family,it's for always." (NT) -- Dom, 20:37:24 03/18/03 Tue
He glanced towards the bedroom again, voice still low. "Girl's like her don't come and go, Dom. I'm not asking you to understand." (NT) -- Dante, 20:39:06 03/18/03 Tue
He shook his head yet again, turning around. "You messin' up Dante, messin' up big time. Your gonna kill papa with this shit, and it won't even bother you." He headed towards the door, aggravated. (NT) -- Dom, 20:41:33 03/18/03 Tue
He ran a hand through his hair, growling quietly. "Papa won't even notice when I'm gone because you'll be right there to fill my footsteps." (NT) -- Dante, 20:43:26 03/18/03 Tue
"I'm not you and I never will, your the one he wants in charge, your the one he put all his faith in, not me, not Damone..." He shook his head. "You'll break his heart." (NT) -- Dom, 20:45:00 03/18/03 Tue
Since they were little it'd always been the same struggle - he was the eldest and his father had always held him in the highest regard because of it, but he had never wanted the responsibility. "Doesn't he see that I don't want it?" (NT) -- Dante, 20:47:13 03/18/03 Tue
He let out a breath, shaking his head. "No respect, no appreciation, what happened to you?" (NT) -- Dom, 20:51:41 03/18/03 Tue
He sighed in frustration - he'd kind of gone hill over the last couple weeks since everything had started to happen. "I don't want to be like papa." (NT) -- Dante, 20:53:00 03/18/03 Tue
"Why not? You don't like power? You don't like money? You don't like respect? A big family who loves you?" He frowned. "The only thing papa has that I wouldn't want is a ungrateful son." (NT) -- Dom, 20:56:48 03/18/03 Tue
He glared. "Talk about respect - you have none for your older brother. You couldn't possibly understand the choices I'm having to make, so where do you get off telling me what I should be doing?" (NT) -- Dante, 21:00:21 03/18/03 Tue
The young man in front of him was strong and powerful - his temper was hard to handle, but it diminished quickly. "I have no older brother." He spoke before he turned back to the door. The words he spoke were harsh, and he would regret them the next day. (NT) -- Dom, 21:02:41 03/18/03 Tue
That silenced him promptly - while he would have been able to leave his family and run away with Sienna, he didn't know if he could deal with his family disowning him. He just stood silently and waited for the other man to leave - hurt by the words, and frustrated with the situation. (NT) -- Dante, 21:05:22 03/18/03 Tue
The door slammed behind him - Dom heading out to work out - he needed to get some stress out of his system. She was sitting on the bed, tears running down her face. Their lives were never going to work out, somehow, someway, they were always going to be hurting. (NT) -- Dom/Sienna, 21:08:07 03/18/03 Tue
He ran his hands down his face and sighed quietly, heading back into the bedroom - one look and her and he knew that she had heard every word. Crawling into the bed, he pulled her down into his arms and pressed his face into the crook of her neck. "He's got a temper... He didn't mean it." He was trying to reassure himself as much as he was her - voice rough. (NT) -- Dante, 21:11:00 03/18/03 Tue
Her arms went around him immediatly, fingers entwining in his hair. "I'm sorry..." She whimpered out - she'd messed up his life. His brother was right, he had the world waiting for him at his feet. (NT) -- Sienna, 21:12:30 03/18/03 Tue
He shook his head but didn't raise his face, holding her tight and close to him. "Don't be sorry..." He almost wished that he could just forget about her - but he knew without a doubt that he wouldn't be able to. (NT) -- Dante, 21:15:12 03/18/03 Tue
"Everything is so messed up..." She sighed. "He's right...we are breaking our families hearts..." (NT) -- Sienna, 21:17:26 03/18/03 Tue
"I don't want to be without you." He stated simply - it was the truth, if she had agreed and left that first day he had told her to, he would have been miserable but he would have survived. Already, he felt like he'd be lost without her. (NT) -- Dante, 21:19:04 03/18/03 Tue
She let out a deep breath, kissing the top of his head. "I just don't know what to do..." She closed her eyes. "Someone is going to get hurt, no matter what..." (NT) -- Sienna, 21:25:30 03/18/03 Tue
He nodded a touch - he was just beginning now to figure that out. Sighing, he raised his face to brushed his lips over hers. "I don't know either." (NT) -- Dante, 21:26:51 03/18/03 Tue
She wanted him to be completely sure of what he was doing, and even if she had to play the devils advocate, she was going to be sure of that. "In my family, the girls aren't that important, just someone to marry off. We are loved, yes, but not important..." She paused to look at him. "But your important to your family Dante, you hold a place there that can't be taken by anyone else..." (NT) -- Sienna, 21:29:07 03/18/03 Tue
He shook his head slowly, gaze soft as it studied her features. "I don't want that place though, Sienna... I never have... I love my family, but I don't want to own it." (NT) -- Dante, 21:30:55 03/18/03 Tue
She let out a breath, her eyes on him. They were full of trust, and love - yet trepidition also lined her features. (NT) -- Sienna, 21:33:47 03/18/03 Tue
"I want to be with you." He stated simply - he knew what he wanted, but it was hard also knowing what he didn't want - to hurt his family. (NT) -- Dante, 21:35:12 03/18/03 Tue
She nodded, falling quiet for the moment. Her heart was heavy, it wasn't supposed to be like this..when you fell in love, was it? (NT) -- Sienna, 21:36:23 03/18/03 Tue
He brushed one hand down her cheek, and pressed a brief kiss to her lips. "You're not happy." (NT) -- Dante, 21:38:31 03/18/03 Tue
She covered his hand with hers, her eyes tender. "I'm all messed up too." (NT) -- Sienna, 21:43:02 03/18/03 Tue
He kissed her again and sighed softly, pulling her closer to him and closing his eyes lightly. "Be happy." (NT) -- Dante, 21:43:58 03/18/03 Tue
She smiled a bit, looking up at him. "How could I not be happy, when I am with you?" (NT) -- Sienna, 21:45:51 03/18/03 Tue
He offered a small smile in return and released a cleansing sigh - brushing his fingers through her hair. "Good point." (NT) -- Dante, 21:47:39 03/18/03 Tue
She sighed softly, reaching up and pressing her lips heavily to his. They both needed a distraction. (NT) -- Sienna, 21:51:57 03/18/03 Tue
He met her lips willingly, sighing softly into the kiss and hugging her close. (NT) -- Dante, 21:52:54 03/18/03 Tue
She sighed deeply into the kiss, her leg moving over his slightly as she positioned herself closer to him. (NT) -- Sienna, 21:54:35 03/18/03 Tue
He swallowed lightly and shifted a little, one hand slipping down to rest on her hip. (NT) -- Dante, 21:57:14 03/18/03 Tue
Sienna had always had a sensitive nature, and right now, she was feeling a strange foreboding coming on. Closing her eyes against the feelings, she shifted impossibly closer, pressing herself tightly against him. (NT) -- Sienna, 21:58:46 03/18/03 Tue
He broke the kiss for a moment - one hand cupping her cheek - and met her eyes for a long moment before returning his lips to hers, hand moving back to her hip and then edging up her side under her shirt. (NT) -- Dante, 22:02:36 03/18/03 Tue
She made a soft sound, his touch sending slight electricity across her form. (NT) -- Sienna, 22:05:23 03/18/03 Tue
His fingers took their time, edging under her shirt to caress the silky flesh, and his lips remained fully on hers. (NT) -- Dante, 22:08:13 03/18/03 Tue
Within moments her intentions were clear, her hands over his chest, lips caressing his neck. (NT) -- Sienna, 22:10:47 03/18/03 Tue
He released a low sound in his throat, shifting onto his back and pulling her overtop him, his hands gently pushing up her shirt up over her head. (NT) -- Dante, 22:13:16 03/18/03 Tue
Her heart was beating unusually fast, her eyes closed in quiet pleasure as she tried to control her breathing. She felt young, and inexperienced...but the sensations were overwhelming. (NT) -- Sienna, 22:14:58 03/18/03 Tue
His eyes first and then his hands roamed tenderly over her young, untouched flesh - gaze watching her features quietly for any note of hesitation. (NT) -- Dante, 22:16:58 03/18/03 Tue
He was a good deal older then her, almost 7 years really, but she didn't feel it. He made her feel cherished, and her soft sounds of appreciation showed that. (NT) -- Sienna, 22:22:25 03/18/03 Tue
He loved her and wanted to show her just how much, but did it in a somewhat restrained fashion, taking his time with her unschooled body and mind. Cherishing every movement and every moment, he took her gently in an attempt to make the sometimes uncomfortable first experience a memorable one... (NT) -- Dante, 22:27:29 03/18/03 Tue
