• "Well who's fault is that?" He winked with an affectionate smile and tickled her feet as he walked past her into the kitchen... (NT) -- Ryan, 06:54:15 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yours." She huffed, sitting up a bit to watch him go into the kitchen. "Whatcha doin'?" Her dark eyes followed him curiously, her head titled. (NT) -- Stacie, 06:57:12 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Getting a glass of water. That allowed?" He cocked a brow at her before continuing in, smirking slightly. (NT) -- Ryan, 06:58:00 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She made a face, laying back down and flipping through the stations - it was so easy to make her disgruntled. (NT) -- Stacie, 06:59:54 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He returned to sit on the floor infront of the couch, kissing her cheek on his way down. (NT) -- Ryan, 07:01:13 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She sighed, letting out a breath and looking down at him, hand falling to play in his hair. "We need to get jobs soon...stop being lazy bums..." It was weird to think that they were married, they didn't feel married. (NT) -- Stacie, 07:04:03 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I know... Been looking..." He nodded a touch, head dropping back into her touch. (NT) -- Ryan, 07:10:21 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• Her fingers gently ran through his hair, letting out a breath as they chatted absently. "Good deal...I need to get something soon...I don't want to live with Brandon forever." (NT) -- Stacie, 07:11:34 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah, and I don't want to bum off Mika for forever..." He slouched back against the couch, eyes lightly shut. (NT) -- Ry, 07:15:23 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled softly at his reaction to her touch her gaze on him before sudden;y her hands stopped moving. "Your staying around here aren't you?" (NT) -- Stacie, 07:36:36 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Around here as in, in town?" His eyes remained shut as he spoke, arms crossing over his chest. (NT) -- Ry, 07:38:45 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah..." Her hand continued playing in her hair after a moment. (NT) -- Stacie, 07:39:39 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Of course... Where else would I go?" He looked up a moment later, a soft sigh escaping him. (NT) -- Ryan, 07:40:47 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She shruged a bit, her dark gaze tender on his "Just making sure..." She wasnt sure what he felt towards her, if it was enough to keep him here if his soul was telling him to wander. (NT) -- Stacie, 07:42:23 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Don't have money to go anywhere else.." He teased gently and reached over to squeeze her knee reassuringly. (NT) -- Ry, 07:45:16 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled a bit, her eyes calming a bit at that. "Ok..." She laid back again, yawning lightly. (NT) -- Stacie, 07:46:15 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "What are you planning?" He shifted to crawl onto the couch with her, gently edging her over so he could stretch out on his side. (NT) -- Ry, 07:47:42 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She scooted closer to the back of the couch, making room for him. "Just finding some little hole in the wall 'round here that I can afford." (NT) -- Stacie, 07:49:45 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His hand shifted to her side and pushed beneath her tank to rest on her bare skin. "Good call.." (NT) -- Ry, 07:53:36 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She let out a soft sound at his touch, tucking her face into the sensitive skin of his throat. "I want you to live by me..." (NT) -- Stacie, 07:57:50 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I want to live by you..." He was pretty sure he would want to live with her pretty soon, but things were still pretty new and fresh right now. (NT) -- Ry, 07:59:25 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled softly, pressing a kiss there. "Good..." She sighed softly, her arms going around him. "I'll make dinner tonight if you'll go to the store later.." It was such a domestic scene. (NT) -- Stacie, 08:01:30 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Sure..." He agreed willingly with a smile, his hand pushing higher up her side. (NT) -- Ry, 08:02:35 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled a bit, closing her eyes. "It'll be fun to decorate an apartment again..." She had done their earlier place... (NT) -- Stacie, 08:06:14 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Maybe you could convince your brother to let you do his.." He commented with a smirk and kissed her cheek softly. (NT) -- Ry, 08:07:52 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She rolled her eyes, shaking her head "He has no taste..." She grinned lightly. "Thats why I like you, you let me do what I want..." She winked teasingly, kissing his jaw softly. (NT) -- Stacie, 08:12:01 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• A soft laugh escaped him as he caught her lips for a soft kiss. "I should have known..." (NT) -- Ry, 08:13:36 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She pushed her hand up his shirt to rest on his chest, her gaze on his. "Like you for lots of other reasons too." (NT) -- Stacie, 08:14:57 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Uh huh, surre..." He smirked and cocked a brow, his hand slipping down to rest on her hip. (NT) -- Ry, 08:17:58 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled gently, leaning up to kiss his lips softly. "I like you for your smile...and your eyes..." She pressed a kiss to his forehead softly. "..and your voice...the way it gets a little lower when your talking to me..." She tilted her head, watching him. "The way you hold me..and kiss me..." (NT) -- Stacie, 08:21:54 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• A soft breath escaped him as he caught her lips for a tender kiss, a sweet smile softening his features. (NT) -- Ry, 08:23:05 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She closed her eyes, kissing him softly, fingers brushing through her hair. "So many things Ry...." (NT) -- Stacie, 08:25:11 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He nodded a touch and pushed his fingers gently beneath her shirt again, smiling absently into her lips. (NT) -- Ry, 08:26:59 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She kissed him for a long, lingering moment before she pulled back with a content sound, her gaze drifting to the tv. "So what should we do till dinner?" (NT) -- Stacie, 08:27:54 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I'm good here.." He teased gently, fingers absently playing over her soft skin. (NT) -- Ry, 08:29:02 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She rolled her eyes, playfully teasing "Cuz your a lazy ass..." She smiled a bit. (NT) -- Stacie, 08:32:19 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He sighed deeply with a small smirk and kissed her neck lightly. "Hush.." (NT) -- Ry, 08:33:11 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She sighed softly, closing her eyes. "Mmm...love lazy days with you..." She murmured softly, cuddling closer. (NT) -- Stacie, 08:34:48 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "So no more complaining..." He winked with an affectionate smile, fingers toying with the hem of her shirt - now that he was with her again, he couldn't imagine things being any other way. (NT) -- Ry, 08:42:04 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She sighed softly, letting out a breath."I meant that just..days with no plans, just not necessarily layin' around on the couch..." She smiled softly, tilting her head and kissing his cheek. "Remember...we used to go lay out on the beach for hours..." She sighed softly. "Going running in the mornings before school..." (NT) -- Stacie, 08:48:06 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His eyes slid lightly shut as he ducked his face into her neck, an affectionate smile touching his lips. "Those were the days... When I had the energy in the mornings to run..." (NT) -- Ry, 08:53:48 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She laughed lightly, running her hand down his the back of his in a soothing pattern. "When you had the energy to get up while it was still morning." She teased softly, kissing the top of his head. "We had a lot of fun in highschool..." She grinned lightly "Voted most likely to get married....documented in the senior yearbook." (NT) -- Stacie, 08:56:35 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "This is true... I gotta get a job where I can sleep in..." He nipped at her sensitive skin with a soft smirk, thumb absently stroking her side. "We did have a lot of fun... High school was good." (NT) -- Ry, 09:08:15 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled softly, tilting her head. "But then you'll work in the evenings and I'll never get to see you." She smiled, making a soft sound at his nip, her hand running through his hand again. "Can you believe we were together almost all of highschool?" Her brow furrowed - so much of their lives had been spent together. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:10:12 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Mmm, true.. What a predicament. We'll have to cut out sleeping." He teased, murmuring against her neck and then sucking softly in the same spot - it was nice not to have to worry about the marks he left... (NT) -- Ry, 09:13:57 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She was his and his alone - to mark as he pleased. "We could get apartments across from each other...I could come get you when I woke up..." She had a tendancy to wake up during the night - on her own. Nothing could wake her up easily when she was sleeping, unless she wanted to wake up. "I'd miss sleeping a lot..." (NT) -- Stacie, 09:16:29 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Me too... That won't work... Maybe I'll just have to get used to waking up early. Maybe you can get up and come get me up and then we can start running again..." He raised his face to smile at her, lips brushing hers briefly. (NT) -- Ry, 09:18:06 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "That'd be fun..." She smiled lightly, returning his kiss softly, sighing gently. "This is so crazy Ry, do you realize how crazy this is?" Their whole situation boggled her to no end, it was mystifying the way everything had worked out...or was starting to work out at least. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:20:28 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His lips pursed for a moment in though before he shook his head. "Not at all crazy.. I knew things would work out all along.." He winked - that was far from the truth... Things had seemd pretty grave for a while there. (NT) -- Ry, 09:23:08 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She rolled her eyes, poking his side playfully. "Liar." She tilted her head, rising up on one elbow - her eyes on him suddenly serious. "Why didn't you sign the papers Ryan? For real....you wanted the divorce..but you were the one who never signed...I don't get it." (NT) -- Stacie, 09:24:36 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Mmm..." His brows furrowed gently as he thought, brushing one hand though his hair. "I was mad, and hurting... But I wasn't ready to let go, I guess..." (NT) -- Ry, 09:27:01 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "You weren't ready to let go for four years?" She shook her head, leaning up to see him better. "Don't get me wrong, I am glad you didn't." She smiled a bit. "But four years is a long time to stay married to someone you said you never wanted to see..." (NT) -- Stacie, 09:30:06 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Honestly, I didn't really think about it this last year..." Ignoring things tended to be his way of dealing with pain... He had done his best to not think of her, until she had shown up at his door... (NT) -- Ry, 09:33:26 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "You didn't think about being married?" She questioned, her hand soothing over his forehead softly, relaxing him in case the conversation hit a sore point. She just wanted to talk things out, she didn't want a bunch of anger and bitterness lingering hidden in their relationship. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:34:35 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He shrugged a touch and nestled down into the couch, his hand playing over her side absently. "Not really... It just didn't come up." It helped that everyone he was around had figured out the 'don't mention Stacie or the marriage' agreement. (NT) -- Ry, 09:38:15 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• Her small brow furrowed - not sure what to say to that. She didn't know how to take the fact that he had just set their marriage aside basically like it had never happened - but still holding onto the strings of it. A lot of questions ran through her mind, her lower lip tugging between her teeth. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:40:57 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He didn't know how to explain it to her so it didn't sound so crude. He was lucky he had been able to ignore it for a few months, it had given him a chance to live something of a life - things were pretty rough up until then. "That sounds worse than I mean it to..." (NT) -- Ry, 09:43:03 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She shrugged a little - settling back down onto the couch with a smile. "It's alright...I guess you really don't need to explain to me at all." She pressed a kiss to his collar before she fell thoughtfully quiet. There were a lot of things going on in her mind, things hadn't been easy for her at all either but he didn't know anything about her life when she ran out of here. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:45:14 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His fingers brushed down her cheek, his own soft gaze pensive. It surprised him how easily he had let things go as soon as he realized that she wasn't a monster, and she hadn't meant to hurt him... (NT) -- Ry, 09:49:39 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She flashed a small smile tough she was obvuously thinking about a lot of things now, her hand drawing shapes over his chest as she laid their pensive beneath his touch. There was so much in their past that could hurt them in the future.... (NT) -- Stacie, 09:52:49 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He was thinking the same thing, but was also so aware of how much she brightened his days just by being around again - and was pretty convinced that that outweighed the risks. (NT) -- Ry, 09:55:17 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Lately...have you ever gotten..scared..of us?" She questioned, her voice soft, not looking at him, instead just twisting her fingers in his shirt, pressing her cheek against his chest. (NT) -- Stacie, 09:57:27 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I was afraid that you wouldn't come back with me..." He murmured softly, fingers brushing tenderly through her hair - he had been scared before she left of having to relive everything over again. (NT) -- Ry, 09:58:56 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She nodded a little bit, her eyes closed lightly, not wanting to look at a lot of things. "I worry about a lot of things...get scared about a lot of things..." Her hands twisted tighter in his shirt, as if holding him there to her would diminish every boogie man that lied in their closets. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:02:25 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "You shouldn't be..." He spoke quietly, a hand soothing slowly over her back - it unnerved him a little that she was so scared, but still it reassured him that she was willing to tell him... (NT) -- Ry, 10:03:45 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I know it's all as hard for you as it is for me...even harder probably...so I feel bad saying anything." She tried so hard to be smiling and fine with it all, not wanting him to wonder or worry about her intentions. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:05:32 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He shook his head a touch, touch reassuring, or so he hoped. "Don't feel bad, Stacie... You can't help how you feel." (NT) -- Ry, 10:07:19 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She nodded a bit, shaking her head and pushing aside the thoughts and fears in order to smile and sit up. "Brandon's gonna be home soon...." She tilted her head. "I could be nice and have lunch waiting for him." (NT) -- Stacie, 10:09:11 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "That would be nice..." He agreed quietly, his hand slipping to her side as he watched her. He felt sometimes like he couldn't read her anymore - but that was understandable. They had been apart for a few years.. (NT) -- Ry, 10:16:48 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled softly, kissing his briefly, saying one more thing on the conversation. "You know Ry...I'm scared...and I am kinda afraid to jump into this..." She trailed off for a moment her gaze searching his."But...I know it's already to late...Five years later and you still have my heart in the palm of your hand." She shrugged, smiling gently before she leaned down to kiss him quickly right before she stood, stretching - going to go get her brother some lunch made. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:19:49 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He worked over her words carefully in his mind before smiling softly and just watching her go. Things wouldn't be easy, he knew, but he also knew that they were worth the effort, and he had no other choice - she still held his heart, so many years later. (NT) -- Ry, 10:22:16 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Do you want a sandwich?" She called out from the kitchen, already getting him a drink from the fridge. It was amazing how she remembered certain things about him. She was full of emotions right now, her heart swelling with love, she just wanted to be with him.. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:24:15 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I almost said yes, and then I remember that I am so full from breakfast still..." He called out with a small smirk from where he was stretched out on the couch, one hand behind his head. (NT) -- Ry, 10:25:29 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She laughed lightly, bringing him over a can of soda and kissing his forehead as she leaned over the couch. "Anything interesting on tv at least?" She questioned, her eyes gentle and loving on him - giving away so many of her thoughts. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:27:43 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His hand reached up to brush through her hair before he look the can with a soft, appreciative smile. "Hm, no, not hardly.." (NT) -- Ryt, 10:30:45 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She let out a breath, eyes closing slowly at his touch before she shook her head."Your distracting me from my job." She winked lightly. "I need to take of my brother before he kicks me out of here and I live on the street." She grinned lightly, kissing his forehead once more. "Sure you don't want anything? A snack or anything?" (NT) -- Stacie, 10:33:35 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I'm so full, Stace, I'll burst..." His fingers lingered in her hair before he reassured her with a small grin, winking playfully. "Go make your helpless brother something to eat..." (NT) -- Ry, 10:38:05 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She nodded a bit, kissing his lips briefly before she stood to go make her brother a tuna sandwich. Placing it, and a bag of chips on a paper plate and wrapping it with plastic wrap and sticking it in the fridge before she came back to lay down with once more. She'd spilled her heart, she was stayin' quiet now. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:41:10 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He appreciated what she had said and told her what he could through the loving touches and quiet smiles, but he wasn't ready yet to pour his heart out... It would come though, eventually, when he was ready. He held her close to him and caught her lips for a sweet kiss. (NT) -- Ry, 10:42:52 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She kissed him softly, before she ran her hand down his face. She smiled quietly before she shifted in his arms so her back was against his chest, flipping through the tv stations absently. (NT) -- Stacie, 10:46:50 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• His hand shifted to rest flat on her stomach, his face burried in her hair - he never wanted to let her go these days, always wanting her close. (NT) -- Ry, 10:49:13 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled softly even though he couldn't see the expression, cuddling there with him quietly until Brandon walked in. // He walked in, shaking his head as he saw them. "Lazy ass bums..." He was smiling though, happy to see his sister and his friend finally happy. It had been hard keepin' his mouth shut all those years. // She turned over so her face was facing Ryan's, cocking a brow."How come you don't yell at him when he swears?" (NT) -- Stacie/Brandon, 10:54:24 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "'Cause he said 'ass', not 'fuck'." He stated simply, winked to Brandon with a soft laugh, his fingers shifting to tuck into the waist of her shorts. "Were you out seeing your girl, B?" (NT) -- R, 10:56:20 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "So? They are all bad words, one's no worse then the others." She stuck her tongue out at him before she kissed him briefly. // "She's got a point there Ry." He opened the fridge door, letting out a very manly appreciative groan. "I love you Anastacia...do you know that?" He shook his head. "You can't have her back Ryan, I'm sorry. She has to stay here and take care of me forever." (NT) -- Stacie/Brandon, 11:00:56 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "It's okay... She can stay here and take care of you... I'll just come by at night so she can take care of me..." He teased with a small smirk, his lips brushing her cheek lightly, though he spoke to his friend. This was so much nicer - being able to be with her, be around his best friend, and have everything so comfortable. (NT) -- Ry, 11:02:58 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Again..with the not needing to information..." His brow furrowed as he sat at the bar, looking at them and biting his sandwich. "Oh and Stacie, can you remind your boyfriend..husband..whatever he is to be dressed before he goes wandering around the apartment." // She just giggled before she pushed at his chest. "You don't want me taking care of you all the time?" She questioned, pouting. (NT) -- Stacie/Bradon, 11:06:33 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "I was dressed!" He protested, laughing softly, his hand shifting to her knee as he grinned. "Of course I do.. I was just saything that for Brandon's sake.." (NT) -- Ru, 11:08:16 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She shifted so she was sitting up, leaning against his stomache, her arms folded and her eyes on the tv. "Your only keepin' me for my nighttime skills." // He shook his head, laughing. "Damn Ry, even I know better then to say something like that." (NT) -- Stacie.Brandon, 11:10:39 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Not only 'cause..." He teased, laughing quietly, a cheeky grin playing over his features - he liked to push his luck. "You have to be gettin' some to say something like that, Brandon." (NT) -- Ry, 11:12:27 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She growled, pushing against his chest and standing up."See if you have anyone to play with anymore." She huffed at him, sticking out her tongue at him before she headed into the bedroom to change clothes. // He shook his head, smiling a bit at his friend. "Smoooth." (NT) -- Stacie/Brandon, 11:16:52 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He smirked as he sat up slowly, reaching for his soda for a sip. "It'll be okay... Give her a bit." He winked with a small smirk - starting to feel and act like his old childish self. (NT) -- Ry, 11:18:12 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He smiled a bit shaking his head. "Times like these, I envy you." He finished off the sandwich, opening the bag of chips and eyeing his friend quietly before he swiveled towards the direction of the fridge - hopping off the stool to go get a drink. (NT) -- Brandon, 11:20:39 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "'Cause I'm with your sister? Man, that's wrong." His tone was teasing but he noted his friends words. Often he caught things that were said and stored them away to bring them up at a more appropriate time for a more serious discussion. (NT) -- Ry, 11:22:16 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He just smirked, shaking his head and pouring himself a large glass of milk, before putting the gallon away. "Gotta love having a 90 minute lunch break." He smirked, downing the milk easily. "Gonna have to suck up when I leave." (NT) -- Brandon, 11:26:09 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Big time... So the sooner you get out, the sooner I can get to work..." He smirked gently, running his fings through his thick, dark, unruly hair. "Let's go drinking tonight." (NT) -- Ry, 11:29:02 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He smirked lightly, tilting his head - they had gone out drinking the night before too. "Sure thing..you know I am always up for it." He cleaned up his mess before he walked over to his friend, playfully tapping his cheek. "Word of advice though Ryan?" He cocked a brow, waiting for a moment before he spoke again. "Don't let old habits bring up old ghosts." He smirked lightly, dropping his hand and moving to the door to put on his shoes and head out. (NT) -- Brandon, 11:31:49 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He tossed a pillow after his friend with a low playing growl. "Get to work, Brandon." It had taken a moment to register, but the weight of his friend's words set in heavily on his shoulders and he twisted his hand into his hair thoughtfully. (NT) -- Ry, 11:35:05 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She came out of the bedroom shortly, just having been teasing - not truely upset. She had just changed into more comfie clothes, since they were going to be lazing around. She was clad in white terry cloth lounge pants and a pink cropped top - her gaze on him as he came back out. "You look thoughtful." She smiled, glancing around before she flopped into the easy chair. "Brandon head to work?" (NT) -- Stacie, 11:39:08 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "Yeah, he had to get back..." He looked to her quietly, his eyes taking her in before he smiled slightly. The thing that had him worried was that he wouldn't have realized anything had his friend not pointed it out... (NT) -- Ry, 11:41:38 06/29/04 Tue

• She smiled lightly at him, before she titled her head, her brow furrowed. "What....? Your looking at me funny." She picked up the paper from that day, eyes fluttering from him to the comics absently. (NT) -- Stacie, 11:42:58 06/29/04 Tue

• "Can I go out for a drink or two with Brandon tonight?" He questioned quietly, brows gently furrowed as he carefully observed her features. (NT) -- Ry, 11:44:43 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She looked confused that he had seemed to ask her for her permission. "You don't need to ask me to go out Ry..." She couldn't help but sort of like it though, that had been hard for her to watch, just him leaving night after night without saying a word to her about where he was going or who with. (NT) -- Stacie, 11:47:50 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• "But does it bother you?" He pressed gently - obviously wanting and needing the truth. It was of some small comfort to him that the reason he had suggested they go for drinks was for Brandon's sake, not because he felt the urge to get out. Either way he would have been happy.. (NT) -- Ry, 11:53:14 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She pursed her lips, sitting up a little bit and setting down the paper. watching him softly. "No..not when you tell me who your going out with..." She shrugged. "I mean, I am not saying I have to know where you are and who your with at every waking moment..." She felt the need to explain. "It's just...nice to know...." (NT) -- Stacie, 11:58:00 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He nodded a touch - that was understandable and acceptable. He didn't mind telling her those things... "We won't be late. I just feel like your brother could use a drink." (NT) -- Ry, 11:59:10 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She nodded a little, her mind drifting back now to those nights of staying up all night and waiting for him to come in - sometimes Jason would stop in and talk to her, tell her that he had been out with Ry but Ryan was to busy chasing girls and getting trashed....telling her she shouldn't put up with that. She cleared her throat, trying to clear her thoughts at the same time. "Yeah, yeah, thats cool." (NT) -- Staci, 12:03:08 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• Sighing quietly, he ran his fingers through his hair - his own overimaginative mind wandering to possible scenarios. This was harder than he expected - being scared of ruining things again. (NT) -- Ry, 12:04:54 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• She smiled a bit, the same thoughts running through her head having been pushed away. "What time you guys goin' out? Still want me to make something for dinner?" She questioned, standing up and walking to him, her hand moving to rest on his chest. (NT) -- Stacie, 12:09:34 06/29/04 Tue

  ---

• He tugged her gently into his lap and slipped his arms around her waist, lips pressed to her cheek for a moment. "Mhm, if you want to... We'll probably leave around 8, home around 11, sort of thing..." (NT) -- Ry, 05:57:33 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• She nodded slightly, cuddling up to his chest for a moment, sighing in contentment. "You don't need to hurry home or anything...." She murmured, shifting to press a kiss to his lips. "I'll probably fall asleep before you get home." She smiled lightly up at him, her gaze meeting his for a moment. (NT) -- Stacie, 06:01:33 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• A small smile touched his lips and he shrugged a touch - even still he didn't want to be out too late. Guilt was already setting in, though he knew he had no reason to be. "We'll see how it goes, I guess.." (NT) -- Ry, 06:06:50 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• She smiled softly, brushing a hand through his unruley hair for a moment before she stood. "I made a little list...wanna run to the store for me real quick? Then I'll go ahead and have dinner ready for you guys before you go." She smiled, hand twisting in his hair for a moment. (NT) -- Stacie, 06:08:59 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• His hand slipped down her side as she stood, fingers lingering low on her hip before settling behind her thigh as he looked up to her with a brief smile. "Sure.. As long as I've got a list.." (NT) -- Ry, 06:10:53 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• She smiled a little, her hand still playing in his hair as her other hand reached into her pocket and pulling out a detailed, specific list which she handed to him. She remembered how much he hated it when she just told him what to get. "Shouldn't take long or cost much." She leaned down, kissing his cheek briefly. "Thanks honey." (NT) -- Stacie, 06:14:15 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• His memory wasn't that good and when he hit the store, all he could think of was the junk food and soda. Smiling, he stood slowly to catch her lips for a sweet, lingering kiss. "Anytime.." (NT) -- Ry, 06:16:16 06/30/04 Wed

  ---

• She sighed softly in pleasure and contentment, her hand cupping his cheek before she let him go - a sweet smile on her face before she headed into the kitchen to start with what she had. (NT) -- Stacie, 06:18:19 06/30/04 Wed
