• As was becoming the norm, she was pissy when she came in after a long day at that damn office. She felt like she had been lied to completely when she took the job and told them so quite loudly at the end of the day. The comment had led to quite the arguement and a sudden rash decision on her part. A growl escaped her throat as she pushed through the door and kicked off her shoes, eyeing him on the couch before she tossed her case onto the table. "I am going to take a shower." (NT) -- Lexi, 07:08:23 05/18/05 Wed
• "Sure..." He murmured in response, and just sunk a little deeper into the couch, eyes following her for a moment. "Want a drink or anything, babe?" He sat up a little and ran one hand slowly over his fuzzy head, an absent smile touching his lips. He hated how miserable she always was these days when she came home, but he couldn't feeling a little excited. Though, he couldn't consciously take her job, but it felt good just to have the option of maybe getting back out into the scene again. (NT) -- Colin, 07:16:25 05/18/05 Wed
• "A new job? Cuz I quit mine today." She stated before she disappeared into the bathroom, leaving the door partially open as she stripped out of her clothes and climbed into the refreshingly hot shower - as hot as she could stand it. She hadn't meant to quit her job, it just kind of happened when the guy she was yelling at was staring at her chest while she lectured him. What was it about her that seemed to just invite her bosses to take the liberty to check her out at every instance? (NT) -- Lexi, 07:45:46 05/18/05 Wed
• "I have an interview tomorrow... You may too." He called out after her, on his way into the kitchen to get himself atleast a drink. He wasn't surprised, and was actually glad that she had quit her job. Her coming home every night miserable and complaining was getting tiring for even him, and the sooner that she was out of there, the better in his opinion. (NT) -- Colin, 07:54:18 05/18/05 Wed
• She cocked a brow as she put the body wash on her tired form before she heard his words. Her head peeked out of the shower curtain as she called out. "I am going to make dinner when I am out of here." So maybe tonight wouldn't be as bad as she thought it would. She made quick work of washing her hair and washing off the soap before she slipped into a satiny black nighty with a black satin robe tied over it - she loved the feel of the material, made her feel like she was pampering herself - before heading into the living room. Spotting him on the couch, she straddled him, balancing on her knee's as she looked down, pressing a warm kiss to his lips, her body still warm and slightly damp from the shower. "Even though you weren't all Mr. Comforting, thank you for putting up with me the past couple weeks." (NT) -- Lexi, 07:58:23 05/18/05 Wed
• He rested his head back and closed his eyes lightly for just a moment, a soft sigh of contement slipping from his gently parted lips. "I'm sorry I haven't been Mr. Comforting." His fingers kneaded her thighs gently and he offered her a small smile. "So you have to call that number in the morning and set up a time for an interview..." He gestured to the stickie note on the coffee table before turning his gaze and full attention back to her. (NT) -- Colin, 08:03:14 05/18/05 Wed
• "It's all right, you haven't killed me and that gets you a bit of respect in my book." She smiled lightly brushing her fingers through his hair slowly before she followed his eyes to the note and smiled. "Perfect timing huh? Think you would be able to handle working with me again?" She wasn't sure if she would go for being his partner again, way to much emotions involved and while she knew that he found her to be an amazing agent, she also knew that he considered her his best friend and lover so refused to put her in dangerous situations, it didn't work to well on the partner level. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:08:05 05/18/05 Wed
• "Well thanks..." He laughed softly, and then nodded a touch. "Yeah... Timing is definitely good. And if this doesn't work out, I'm sure some phonecalling around will turn up some more opportunities." He really was optimistic about her chances of finding a new, better job without too much hassle. He still wasn't too confident about the likelihood of himself finding a job if this one didn't work out, but you never knew... (NT) -- Colin, 08:27:01 05/18/05 Wed
• She smiled a touch, the nightie shifting up her well muscled thighs as she shifted a little trail her hand down his chest. "Yeah, other opportunities." She paused for a second before she grinned lightly, tipping her head to the side. "So, what do you want for dinner? Don't say anything either, I know you must have a taste for something." She grinned, running her hands through his shaggy hair again absently before she leaned down to nip at his neck softly before drawing back. It was like she could never get enough of him... (NT) -- Lexi, 10:31:58 05/18/05 Wed
• He smiled reassuringly and then laughed softly, fingers kneading up her back and then back down to cup her hips. "I'm actually not too hungry right yet... Let me think on it." He felt the same as her though - he could never get close enough to her, never get enough of her. He was completely in love and, despite their occasional arguments, was simply happier than he had ever been in his life. (NT) -- Colin, 10:39:04 05/18/05 Wed
• She smiled a touch, nodding. "Anything you want." Her words were repeated before her brow furrowed as the door bell rang. "Who could that be..." She murmured as she stood, tying the belt around the robe though it still didn't do much since both the robe and the nightie barely fell to midthigh. Casting a glance over her shoulder at Colin, she looked through the peephole and then sighed dramatically before opening the door. "Hey Mom." She greeted the bustling red head as she came in. // Bailey smiled, rolling her eyes in return. "Your father says hello, Lexi and that you should come over soon, he wanted me to drop off these..." she handed her daughter the file of different agencies and positions opening up - Shaun still had his connections. Her brow raised slowly as she took in her daughters apperal before she looked to Colin, addressing her question to him. "I'm not interrupting anything am I?" (NT) -- Lexi/Bailey, 10:43:35 05/18/05 Wed
• "Nevermind!" He protested as she shfited to get up, reaching after her desperately before groaning in disappointment. A sigh passed through his lips, but he mustered a half-smile, half-grimace as Bailey Sr. bust in. Of course he loved his Bailey's mama, but she was a little too much for him at times, and worse than his own mother when it came to lecturing about certain things. Clearing his throat, he laughed a little wryly and stood, heading into the kitchen. "Nothing at all. Want a drink or anything?" (NT) -- Colin, 10:55:36 05/18/05 Wed
• She sighed softly, taking the files and flipping through them absently before she set them down on the table. "I was getting ready to make dinner, mama, did you eat yet?" She felt she had to ask, before she cleared her throat. "You know, I am going to go change, I'll be right back. // As she watched her daughter disappear into the bedroom, she looked back to Colin, her brow cocking playfully. "So with little outfits like that, you would think I would have a grandbaby already, Colin, you know your not getting any younger. They say its not healthy for a girl to have a baby past thirty, health risks and all that." (NT) -- Lexi/Bailey, 11:01:13 05/18/05 Wed
• His eyes followed Lexi as well before shifting to Bailey. Shaking his head, he tossed a good-natured glare her direction and then mixed up a drinks for everyone - taking Bailey's lack of response as a 'yes'. "I'm pretty sure that I don't want to have this discussion with you." The woman really knew how to make a guy uncomfortable - not only talking about grandchildren to the king of non-committment, but also commenting on her daughter's sex appeal. Not quite right, in his opinion... (NT) -- Colin, 11:05:57 05/18/05 Wed
• "I am just sayin', it's about time to get the train rollin' don't you think? I mean, not even a ring or anything yet after how long? Your not in college anymore." She smirked, still teasing but there was a hint of truth in her words. "If your not going to commit to my little girl, then let her go for someone else to commit too." She winked before she took the drink, taking a sip before she smiled. "You always make the best white russians." She lifted her bright blue gaze from the drink to where Lexi was coming back in, clad in jeans and a long sleeved tee shirt. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:11:24 05/18/05 Wed
• "No matter how hard I try to get rid of her, I just can't..." Was his only response, tone totally teasing seeing as he waited just until his significant other was in the room before speaking. He wasn't someone who was going to allow himself to be pressured into anything - especially marriage and a baby. Though he saw himself with her, and only her, in the future, he would take next step when he was good and ready to. (NT) -- Colin, 11:19:33 05/18/05 Wed
• She stuck her tongue out at him but immediatly went to stand in front of him, leaning back against his solid chest and drawing his arms around her. "Mama, are you pestering Colin again?" She grinned lightly, winking up at her boyfriend before she looked back to her mother. "Much as I love having you here Mom, you know how dad gets when you leave the house for more then an hour and I am sure it took you at least twenty minutes to get here, and traffic is worse now so it will be like thirty to get home and oh, look, you've been here like fifteen minutes. Your late already." She grinned at her Mom affectionately, she really went and saw her quite frequently, but right now she just wanted to be with Colin. Nodding, Bailey smiled at her daughter and someday son in law and made her exit, leaving Lexi to roll her eyes and turn back to Colin. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:22:52 05/18/05 Wed
• He laughed gently and gave Bailey's cheek a quick kiss before she disappeared on them, and then willingly turned his full attention back to her. "She wants grandchildren. I'm not ready to be a daddy just yet." He stated quite simply and honestly, as his fingers moved to her sides and then brushed slowly down to caress the warm swells of her backside. (NT) -- Colin, 11:25:39 05/18/05 Wed
• She smirked a touch, watching him for a second before she spoke thoughtfully. "I am not so sure I ever see you being ready to be a daddy." She had never really placed great thought on it, they were so devoted to their careers that it was almost like their jobs were their babies. She just couldn't picture them as parents for some reason, it just didn't seem like a reality to her. "So you hungry yet?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:34:23 05/18/05 Wed
• "Really?" His brows furrowed a little at that, but he let it go - not in the mood for an in-depth conversation about the future of their lives. He saw himself with kids one day, but just not anytime in the near future. Edging her back a step, his hands moved to rest on the counter on either side of her and he dipped his head to kiss warmly at her neck before responding playfully. "Anything." She hated when he didn't give her any guidelines on food.. (NT) -- Colin, 11:41:20 05/18/05 Wed
• Dark hair fell to the side as her head tipped back to accomadate for his kisses, pulse jumping just a touch beneath his lips. "I told you not to say anything, you've gotta have a taste for something." It was a pity she was all clothed now...forcing her mind away from those thoughts she just shifted to meet his eyes, her hands going to tuck into the waistband of his pants. "Steak? Pasta? Chicken? Fish?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:43:43 05/18/05 Wed
• He breathed softly at the warm skin of her neck before kissing slowly down the length of her jaw, lips lingering for a long moment at the side of her mouth. "Sure." He responded with a small grin, teeth catching her lower lip and tugging gently, one eyelid dropping in a playful wink. He truly didn't care what they ate, and truthfully was more concerned with what was going on infront of him than with what would be going into his tummy. (NT) -- Colin, 11:55:07 05/18/05 Wed
• "Punk.." She grumbled at him but she nearly melted beneath his touch, it was hard to keep her composure when he was kissing her like that. "Mmm...kay." Was all she could force out as her fingers twisted in the fabric of his tee shirt, her head tipping for him again. She was on the shot so there wasn't anyway of them accidently having a baby which was great for her, she was all about the spontanous sex. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:57:49 05/18/05 Wed
• "Not I." He protested with a soft laugh, nuzzling her cheek affectionately and then kissin the side of her mouth. "I'm starving... You should feed me." He reminded her with a small grin, yet made no effort to let her go or to help her pick something to make. Instead, he ducked his face back into her neck - lips finding her pulse and playing lightly there, his breath warm on her smooth, sweet-smelling skin. (NT) -- Colin, 13:45:35 05/19/05 Thu

• He had decided that most of his free time now should be spent either watching talk shows when she wasn't home, having sex when she was, and then just picking fights the rest of the time that he wasn't making her call out his name from pleasure. She opened the door quietly - clad in a dress suit that flattered her figure but also left her looking quite professional. She'd had a meeting with some big wigs from washington that morning and it had been intense but productive. She set down her briefcase by the door, her brow cocked as she saw him sleeping. He was so damn stuborn, he wouldn't even put his resume anywhere. (NT) -- Bailey, 08:42:37 05/10/05 Tue
• He was completely and admittedly stubborn. He was one of the best agents, but also the most controversial. Agencies were intrigued by his skills but wary of the stories that had colored his career and no one was quite ready to take a risk on him just yet. That was another reason why he wasn't willing to apply anymore - because as much as he talked about being a valued employee, he was afraid that no one would really want him. When she came in, his eyes flickered open - his sleep had been just a light doze - and he stretched slowly, smothering a yawn. "Hey Bai Bai..." He knew she had been annoyed with him lately, but he just didn't know what to do with himself - hell, he couldn't even stand himself. (NT) -- Colin, 09:00:50 05/10/05 Tue
• She shifted to unbutton her suit jacket and shrug it off, leaving her in just the dress skirt and sheer tank top beneath it. "Hey you." She murmured, trying to guage his mood before she said anything else. She hung up her jacket and put her purse down, hanging up her keys so she would know where they were. A yawn escaped her lips as she stretched her arms over her head, trying to work out the few kinks that were resting between her shoulder blades after a long day of meetings and annoying chatter. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:28:18 05/10/05 Tue
• "How was work?" He watched her for a moment before his gaze drifted back to the television - it was almost time for Ellen... That thought struck him suddenly as a little obscure and he flicked off the TV hastily - he was seriously getting obsessive. Though he was away from drug addiction, it seemed that he just had an addictive personality, period - he needed something to consume him, where it was cocaine or talkshows, or Bailey. The problem was, she was so busy with work that he just couldn't spend enough time with her to obsess - though that was actually probably a good thing. (NT) -- Colin, 09:32:25 05/10/05 Tue
• "Long." She pouted lightly, dropping down to the couch beside and kicking off her heels before she rested her head back into the pillowed sofa. Her eyes closed for a second before they opened to focus on the blank tv. "Lets just order in tonight." She didn't feel like cooking, she really didn't feel like moving much right now. Her eyes shifted over to him, taking his ruffled appearance with a cocked brow. That 'goatee' of his was a little wild at the moment - he had insisted the other day when she had commented on his lack of shaving that he was growing a fashionable goatee. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:39:16 05/10/05 Tue
• "Mine too..." He teased with a small smirk, and then stretched his arms slowly above his head before one hand moved to toy with the fuzz taking over his features. He wasn't really intending to grow a goatee, but it had made his not shaving sound a little more planned rather than just lazy. "What do you want? Chinese, or something else?" He slid off the couch to sit on the floor, knees bent, fingers linked behind his head. (NT) -- Colin, 10:00:10 05/10/05 Tue
• "I don't care." She stated, closing her eyes again as she let out a soft breath. With a growl, she reached down, tugging off the thigh high pantyhose she had been wearing and tossing them over the back of the couch. "I hate dressing up, why does it seem that my damn capabilities are measured in the way I look instead of the fact that I can run fucking laps around those fat bastards?" She growled lightly, clearing so discontent with the way her day had gone. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:14:38 05/10/05 Tue
• "C'mon... You give those fat bastards more joy than anything else in their lives when you walk into the conference room once a week looking like you did today." He teased her affectionately, fingers reaching over to curl around her ankle from where he sat on the floor still, head dropping back so he could gaze up at her. "You are a bundle of cheer this evening. What would you like? A drink? A bath? Food? To be left alone? I'll shave for you..." He was suddenly feeling quite accomodating - as if his day of solitude was catching up to him. (NT) -- colin, 10:31:19 05/10/05 Tue
• "Half of them are probably married and they are getting all hot and bothered over a little bit of leg, it's ridiculous." She shook her head, rolling her eyes. "I have to be naked and in a proper position to get you hot and bothered." She smirked, teasing a bit with that as she sighed, looking down at him. "I am sorry, I know I am in a shitty mood..." As his list of offers grew though, she cocked a brow, thinking it over. "Food, a hard drink and you shaving does sound nice though." (NT) -- Bailey, 10:39:48 05/10/05 Tue
• "Since when have I been picky about the position?" He teased her with a small smirk and then groaned playfully. "Come on, I was just offering to be polite, you're not actually supposed to pick the me-shaving option." He stood slowly anyways, and paused to lean down to catch her lips for a warm but brief kiss. "I'll order something to eat and make up some drinks. Go get changed, why don't you?" (NT) -- Colin, 10:44:59 05/10/05 Tue
• She huffed lightly, crossing her arms over her chest. "Thats it, I am giving up shaving also. We can just boycott razors." That should get him, he adored the way she was always...well that was going down a road that didn't need to be thought of in her mind or anywhere else. "I am going to take your advice and go get changed - if your not going to shave for me then those better be some damn good drinks." She sighed softly, her hand cupping his cheek as she returned the kiss for a long moment before she stood and headed into the bedroom to change into something more comfortable. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:04:00 05/10/05 Tue
• "Oh, hey... Bai Bai..." He grimaced and called after her with a laugh, a hand running over his head as he moved towards the kitchen. "I'll shave, really. You don't have to give it up on my behalf." His tone was playfully serious and he glanced back once more before pulling out all the food menus and finally picking something for them to eat, ordering, and then mixing up their drinks - strong, as per her request. (NT) -- Colin, 11:11:25 05/10/05 Tue
• It was ridiculous the amount of take out and order in menu's they had in a folder in the drawer by the dishwasher. They were a working career couple though - well when Colin had a job - and it was more often then not that neither one of them were up to cooking. Slipping into their room, she changed out of her work clothes and into a pair of comfortable white cotton lounging plants that were a thin, airy fabric and a sheer yellow beater style tank top, discarding her bra with a sigh of relief. After washing her face of her make up and pulling her hair up into a pony tail she felt much more like herself and padded back into the living room. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:21:07 05/10/05 Tue
• With the food on it's way, he returned to join her in the living room, drinks in hand, and handed her hers before settling down at her side. "About a half hour. Think you can wait that long?" A hand pushed back her hair absently before his arm just slipped around her shoulders - despite their recent little squabbles, he was still completely in love and not in a conflicting mood that night. (NT) -- Colin, 11:34:17 05/10/05 Tue
• "Mmmm, I suppose." She cuddled up next to him, her bright eyes closing not because she was tired but because she was relaxing a little bit finally. A soft sound of content pleasure - almost a purr - escaped her lips as he played with her hair, it was always a weakness of hers. "I think I want a different job, this is to much paper and desk work and not enough field work." She missed the adrenaline rushes already, as much as she wasn't fond of putting her life on the line, she felt like she wasn't doing anything at all unless her life was somehow in danger. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:14:23 05/12/05 Thu
• "You were excited about the lack of field work in the beginning..." He reminded her with a small smile and tugged her gently closer. Dipping his head a little, his lips brushed down her jaw slowly before he slouched down deeper into the couch and allowed his eyes to slide lightly shut. He was hardly tired himself, but relaxed a little bit - so much more content now that she was home. His days of unemployment seemed to just drag on and on and on. He needed a new job... (NT) -- Colin, 08:29:16 05/12/05 Thu
• "Yeah, well now its boring." She stated seriously with a soft huff, her brow furrowed before she opened her eyes suddenly. "We could open our own private investagation agency! We'd kick ass! Or...we could do like, um, bounty hunting stuff!" That would be exciting, sneaking up on people who thought they were getting away with something and sneaking up on them. She shifted to tug him into a laying down position so she could lay atop of him, her arms crossed over his chest, chin resting on them as she eyed him. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:34:21 05/12/05 Thu
• A soft laugh slipped from his lips and he cocked a brow, eyeing her in amusement. "Yeah, Bai, that would be a disaster waiting to happen." He shook his head a little, fingers absently caressing the soft swell of her backside, the corners of his mouth still turned up in a smile. "I'm not sure that it would work..." He sort of needed a boss to bully him and tell him what to do and when to do it - and he wouldn't take that kind of thing from her too well. (NT) -- Colin, 08:53:59 05/12/05 Thu
• "Cuz you wouldn't listen to me and then you wouldn't let me do anything cuz you would think you had to go play the big man part and protect your little lady." She huffed dramatically, flopping her head down with her forehead on her crossed forearms, her hair covering her face as she spoke. "You've ruined our bounty hunter careers before we even started them!!!" She could be such a drama queen, though it was all in good fun, she loved to tease and play around with them - if people didn't know them they would probably think they were horrible to each other with as much as they ragged on one another. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:57:52 05/12/05 Thu
• "Well maybe 'cause my little lady has a tendency to get herself into trouble..." He informed her matter-of-factly and tsk'd playfully at her, then laughed at her act. A hand drifted up her back to tug gently at her hair, gaze oh-so-affectionate on her. "I'm sorry, but I just don't think that we're meant to be bounty hunters." His tone softened a little, as if he was genuinely apologetic and trying to break the news to her in the kindest way possible. (NT) -- Colin, 09:05:39 05/12/05 Thu
• She sighed, turning her head so her cheek was resting more on her elbow area now, making it able for her to look up at him. "What if I never find another job I like, Colin?" She questioned seriously, her pretty brow furrowed. "I feel so...discontent with what I am doing now and what if I am never content with my life ever again?" So maybe she was being just a touch dramatic still, but it was about a real issue now. "And I do not get myself into trouble, trouble just comes to me." (NT) -- Leci, 09:09:16 05/12/05 Thu
• "Well, then you will be forever working a job that you hate. And if I never find another job again, period... Well then I will forever be unemployed." He pointed out, but his fingers toyed gently in her hair - as much as he kidded, he understood that she was genuinely concerned about her situation. They weren't getting any younger... It would be nice to have a reliable, enjoyable occupation. "I think that getting yourself into trouble and trouble coming to you are one and the same, in your situation." (NT) -- Colin, 09:17:01 05/12/05 Thu
• "This isn't funny, I am going to hate my life forever and I am a bitch when I hate my life." She huffed deeply, her brow furrowed with a growl. "And your going to get all antsy and bored if you don't get a job and evantually you'll turn to women and then we'll hate each other again and life will suck even more." So as much as she could be dramatic, she had an even more over active imagionation. They had cheated on each other the last time though and if he got bored enough he might fall victim to some seductress. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:24:00 05/12/05 Thu
• "True. This isn't funny at all." He teased with a soft laugh, winking gently and tightening his arms around her. "No matter how many women I turn to while you are being a discontented bitch, I will always come back to you when I have no where else to go." His tone was so nonchalant, but of course it was obvious that he was just joking. No matter how bored and antsy he got, he would not fall victim to some seductress. (NT) -- Colin, 09:31:18 05/12/05 Thu
• She growled, her brow furrowed as she raised her head and glared at him. "Not funny." She stated, sliding off of him and going into the kitchen, absently opening the cabinets and looking in even though they had food on the way - she just needed something to occupy herself. It was a legit fear that she had, this thing of him getting bored. Especially if he wasn't working that left so much free time and there were so many pretty girls - even in their apartment building - who had their eyes on her man. She was afraid he would lose interest in his life here, his life with her... (NT) -- Lexi, 09:40:00 05/12/05 Thu
• "Bailey Alexis... Don't be a baby." He called after her, but his tone was gentle - he understood that she was sensitive about some things, but he figured that they were over him having to baby her through it. He had cheated on her once, and that was a long time ago when they were young and foolish, and she hadn't been faithful to him either. She had no reason to worry about anything. (NT) -- Colin, 09:52:39 05/12/05 Thu
• She nearly growled at that - way to be comforting, reassuring boyfriend. Boyfriend..what was with that too? Were they just going to date forever? He had never even mentioned anything about anything more ever 'cept that one time on the beach when he said she would get married but even then he had made no mention of it being to him. Her brow furrowed with a huff - maybe he was just keeping his options open. Hell, he hadn't even said he loved her until after she had taken the bullet that was meant for him. A sigh escaped her lips as she raised her hand to her temple - she was getting a headache. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:55:43 05/12/05 Thu
• He just laid there on the couch, half-waiting for her to come back, half just not sure what else he should do. Before long though, there was a knock at the door and he nearly jumped to his feet to answer it - thankful that the food was there and they had a distraction. She just had this habit of blowing things out of proportion and he didn't know what to do. (NT) -- Colin, 10:00:44 05/12/05 Thu
• She looked over at him as he brought the food in before she went to the fridge to get them both a beer. She could be a bitch when she was so discontent with life, she knew that but well, he chose to be with her and love her knowing how she was so he had to deal with it. His lack of assurance wasn't helping anything though. Gnawing away at her lower lip without realizing it, she surveyed the food and then chose what she wanted from the variety he had ordered. Not feeling like sitting at the table, she just took the containers and her beer and headed back to the couch in the living room, turning on the tv to some random movie. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:07:19 05/14/05 Sat
• He had never really been one to be overly reassuring - and she chose to be with him and love him knowing how he was. It wasn't his thing to coddle and baby her all the time - not that he wasn't loving and affectionate, but he was her boyfriend, not her mother. Following suit, he grabbed what he wanted and the beer that she had gotten with him, and padded back into the living room to join her on the couch. Sitting right next to her, he looked over at her for a long moment before reaching in to steal a forkful. (NT) -- Colin, 09:16:50 05/14/05 Sat
• She cocked a brow as he sat right next to her and then nearly growled as he took a bite of her food. "I'm very grumpy all the sudden." She felt the need to warn him, her eyes going back to the tv as she drowned her sorrows in lo mein. Focusing a touch, she realized it was the wedding singer and hunkered down into the couch - somewhat happy that there was at least a decent movie on. A yawn escaped her lips before she took a long drink of the beer - she could outdrink most men these days. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:25:37 05/14/05 Sat
• "Really? I never would had noticed." He teased her gently and bumped his shoulder gently against hers, stole another bite, and then dug in to his own food. That was another major difference between them - she dwelled on things a lot longer than he typically did... Although occasionally he got into a 'mood' and made everyones lives miserable, but that was only occasionally - not the majority of the time. (NT) -- Colin, 09:31:51 05/14/05 Sat
• She frowned lightly, taking a few more bites before she just handed him the food - done with it now. Instead of eating she just finished her beer off and then stood up to go into the kitchen and mix up a skyberry vodka and lemonade - a couple of those would get her drunk in very short time and thats really what she was going for at this moment in time. One hand ran through her hair before she headed back into the living room, settling back down on the couch and stealing the blanket from the back of it, cuddling up in its warmth. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:39:59 05/14/05 Sat
• He wordlessly finished up his own food before polishing off hers, and then headed into the kitchen himself to put away his dishes and grab another beer before returning to join her. "So why so grumpy, love?" He finally questioned after another few long moments of silence, gaze shifting over to her - he was over whatever little argument had occurred earlier. (NT) -- Colin, 09:47:48 05/14/05 Sat
• She shrugged a little, her voice soft once she had finished off the ample glass of alcohol. "I hate my job and I am going no where in life." She stated bluntly, pouting lightly as she said the words and even afterwards. A second later she continued. "So, I want to get drunk." She stated with a firm nod, peeking her eyes out of her blanket to rest on him for a moment. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:49:55 05/14/05 Sat
• "Bailey Alexis." He scolded her with a gentle frown, brows furrowing softly. "You don't hate your job, it's just not what you want to be doing. Start looking around for a new job... You had tons of offers before..." He reminded her quietly, slouching down into the couch so that they were eye-to-eye. She would probably be able to find a new job a lot easier than he would be able to... (NT) -- Colin, 10:12:56 05/14/05 Sat
• "I hate it. I get leered at and they treat me like a secretary and I am damn secretary for fuck's sake!" She huffed, her brow furrowed at him before she stuck out tongue. She really wasn't mad at him, she was just aggravated with the world at that moment. "And your getting all scoldy with me!" She snapped her teeth at him almost teasingly before she pulled the blanket tighter around her in a cocoon fashion. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:16:28 05/14/05 Sat
• He reached over and, tsk'ing scoldingly in jest, he pulled her into his lap - despite any protests she may have. "So quit." His solution was simple he shrugged a little, lips brushing her cheek and arms tightening around her slender waist. "You hate it, so quit. You are a very talented woman who deserves to have your abilities utilized and if you feel like nothing more than a secretary, then you need to find a job where you are better appreciated." (NT) -- Colin, 06:45:56 05/16/05 Mon
• "Flattery gets you everywhere." She stated seriously as she rested her head back on his shoulder. "I can't quit this job until I find another one..." A deep sigh rattled through her chest as she narrowed her eyes at the tv. "We should go on vacation or something. I want to go to Australia and England." She looked up at him, her head cocked for a second before she growled again. "You really need to shave. I am losing the desire to kiss for fear of scratching up my face beyond recognition." (NT) -- Lexi, 06:51:25 05/16/05 Mon
• "I only speak the truth..." He teased lovingly and gave her a gentle squeeze, one hand absently rubbing her leg. "So start looking, babe. You really shouldn't have too much trouble." He assured her with a small smile and then shrugged, tugging gently at her hair. "So then let's go on vacation. Wherever you want to go... Brazil could be fun too..." His suggestion was casual - he had travelled enough already to satisfy most of his burning desires for specific places, so he was now in a position to be willing to go wherever. (NT) -- Colin, 07:27:18 05/16/05 Mon
• "You just like Brazilian girls, perv." She grinned, teasing now about his intrest in other girls though she knew he did have a thing for Brazilians. "Why are you ignoring my request for you to go shave that yucky stuff off your face?" She questioned with a growl, sticking her tongue out at him. "Letting yourself go, thats what your doing, Colin Black. I saw your dad the other day, he's twice your age and he hasn't let himself go yet - still lookin' damn good." His father was married to a movie star, the couple in general was just amazingly stunning. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:30:15 05/16/05 Mon
• "Bravilian girls are alright, but really... Why would I want one when I've got you?" His tone was teasing but he truly did mean it, and nuzzled his cheek agianst hers for good measure, before grinning. "It's 'in' - stubble. It's the newest thing. It's supposed to make me look sexy..." And it meant that he only had to shave every few days rather than ever day. "I think my dad has had some 'work' done, if you know what I mean." (NT) -- Colin, 07:36:28 05/16/05 Mon
• "I don't want to kiss you, ew, that feels gross!" She squealed, squirming against him. "Your so damn lazy!" She huffed, pushing at his chest before her fingers slipped down to his ticklish spot. "Please...baby..." She pouted, her lower lip sticking out. "If you shave this evening, all do all sorts of naughty things with you tonight." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, winking at him playfully as she shifted on his lap. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:39:38 05/16/05 Mon
• He laughed and squeezed her gently again as she squirmed, grinning affectionately. "I may be lazy but you love me anyway..." He reminded her, though his attention was easily captured by her suggestion, brows furrowing gently in thought. "Is that a promise? And to shave, I should probably need a shower first... Maybe if you agreed to join me, give me a little preview of this idea of yours, then I would have a little more motivation..." (NT) -- Colin, 07:45:11 05/16/05 Mon
• She grinned lightly, tipping her head back as she gazed at him. "But if I get in the shower with you, you are going to want to kiss me and I can't have that with you being all scruffy. I have very sensitive skin you know." She grinned, running her hand down his jaw for a second before she shifted off of his lap. "Besides, now that I am not as grumpy, I am hungrier and I am going to finish my dinner and my quest to get drunk and you know I am always more...adventerous when drunk." She winked teasingly, her eyes on him before she turned to go into the kitchen. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:06:35 05/16/05 Mon
• His fingers reached after her and a pout lined his features as she left, but he let her go. "Fine, fine. But you better be good and drunk when I get out of the shower." His tone was affectionately teasing though as he finally stood and headed towards the bedroom and bathroom. Moments before he had been discouraging her desire to get drunk... But now she wanted to get drunk for different reasons, and well, he had no problems with that. (NT) -- Colin, 08:17:19 05/16/05 Mon
• "I want you to be drunk with me!" She called out after him, before she disappeared into the kitchen to get some more of the food he had ordered, smiling absently as she thought about how he ordered everything she liked without even asking her. They knew each other better then anything in the world, probably even better then they knew themselves. They had their arguements and doubts occasionally, yes, but over all, she was amazingly in love and happy with him and as much as she was hating her job and life...he was the thing that made everything else worth living through. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:20:43 05/16/05 Mon
• "All in good time!" He assured her with a soft laugh, and before long, the shower was running and he was cleaning up after his busy day of doing nothing in particular. As soon as he was done in the shower, he took his time getting shaved, and then pulled on just a pair of sweats before heading back out to join her. "Come, feel that I am as smooth as a baby's bottom." Her called out to her, but headed into the kitchen to first grab himself a drink. (NT) -- Colin, 08:37:01 05/16/05 Mon
• She was halfway through her third white russian and bordering the line between tipsy and drunk with the few precarious teeters of her uneven steps as she walked towards him. A grin crossed her face as she reached up, her fingers caressing his now smooth jaw before she pulled him down for a heatfilled, passionate kiss. As quickly as she initiated it though, she stopped it and smiled. "I made you some drinks, they are chillin' in the fridge." With that, she took her drinks and a two bottle of smirnoff twisted into the bedroom, intent on waiting for him there. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:33:12 05/16/05 Mon
• His fingers brushed her side slowly as they kissed and reached out for her as she wandered away from him, but smiled at her words. "You're a doll." He watched her go and then headed to the fridge to get his drinks before trailing slowly after her into the bedroom and setting his drinks on the table beside the bed. "How're you feeling, love?" (NT) -- Colin, 10:04:16 05/16/05 Mon
• "Good. Buzzed, ok, little passed buzzy. A little spinny like." She grinned, having stripped out of her pants to leave her in the yellow tank and matching yellow boycut undies. She rolled over onto her stomach, resting up on her elbows with her chin in her hands as she regarded him. "You look hot now. Not that you didn't look hot before but I much prefer seeing you all clean shaven - a little bit of stubble is ok, lots of hair, not so much." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:08:24 05/16/05 Mon
• "Nice and warm, Bai Bai?" He grinned softly and crawled onto the bed to stretch out next to her, on his side. One hand brushed slowly up his back and then slowly back down to caress her backside, gaze and touch both so affectionate. They hadn't spent a good evening just chilling in a while... "Thanks. You look pretty hot too when you're all clean shaven, no stubble. Sorry love." His tone was affectionately teasing, good natureed. (NT) -- Colin, 10:23:46 05/16/05 Mon
• "Mhmm, warm deep in my tummy." She grinned lightly, looking so young and happy as her bright green eyes sparkled at him. A more coy expression crossed her face as she reached her fingers to caress down his jaw, touching the soft skin there and taking in the soft scent of the aftershave that almost always lingered on him, so sexy. "You expressed to me a long, long time ago about how you enjoy me clean shaven. I believe the words were expletives, something beautiful and then..the rest of the night was spent on things much more productive then studying or training like we were supposed to be." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:27:04 05/16/05 Mon
• "Nice..." He smiled affectionately and turned his face to press a kiss to her palm before his smile widened into a slow grin and he dipped his head a little. "Ah, those were the days. I almost want a new job just so that I can put off doing work to spend time with you instead." His one hand just rested spread over her backside, the other held up his head as he watched her lovingly. (NT) -- Colin, 10:38:21 05/16/05 Mon
• She grinned lightly, watching him a touch. Things had been so good before they had gotten so bad for them back then. "Mmm..skipping classes...so many classes so we could have that earthshattering sex while everyone else was out of the dorm and you could growl and moan and I could scream as loud as I wanted..." Her words were low and intimate as she murmured to him, her finger shifting to trace down his chest and abs, her eyes following its motions before she glanced up at him through heavy lids. She was a warm and fuzzy drunk tonight, instead of the emotional drunk and also instead of the hyper drunk that she could sometimes be. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:40:44 05/16/05 Mon
• "We didn't even always make it to the dorm, Lexi... I don't know how we ever graduated." He shook his head slowly, a soft laugh slipping from his lips. Pausing, he reached to the table to finish off one of his drinks and then shifted onto his back and pulled her gently over him. "Things are better now though..." He stated with a smile, gaze oh-so-loving on her. (NT) -- Colin, 10:53:20 05/16/05 Mon
• "Mmm, me either, but I betcha we were having the best sex there." She grinned lightly, shifting on top of him easily, her lips brushing against his collarbone as she spoke. "Yeah..better now..I remember the day you came here, I thought you were long past history, you were into the archives of my life, you know?" She shifted so that her elbows were resting on the bed above his shoulders, her fingers raking through his hair that was growing out from its previous buzz cut. "Then you came struttin' up all cocky and pissy about being stuck with me again..." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:58:05 05/16/05 Mon
• "Yeah, when I was younger and in my prime..." He agreed with a small smirk, head resting back in the pillows, eyes on her warmly. "I knew we hadn't seen the last of each other." He insisted, and then grinned a little - it was obvious that he was fibbing there, because his thoughts had been much like hers. "You weren't too happy about it either, though, if I remember correctly, miss Bailey Alexis." His fingers rested curled around the backs of her thighs, just below the swell of her backside. (NT) -- Colin, 11:02:38 05/16/05 Mon
• "Mhmm, you know they say guys hit their sexual peak at 18 and girls at thirty five." She grinned lightly, winking. "Though if you are out of your prime, I have to say, I haven't noticed..." She grinned, fingers trailing down his sensitive neck now before trailing back up to run through his hair again. A soft breath escaped her lips as she shifted from her place stretched on top of him, just getting more comfortable. "No, I wasn't overly thrilled, but I did end up kissing you like..a week after you came, right? That says something." (NT) -- Lexi, 11:10:06 05/16/05 Mon
• "That's sad, if you ask me..." He shook his head a little disgustedly, and then grinned at her next comment, shaking his head once more. "You're too kind." Winking with a soft laugh, he pulled her gently closer and reached up to catch her lips for a warm, lingering kiss before nodding. "Yeah, I know. You just couldn't resist my charms, could you?" (NT) -- Colin, 11:16:19 05/16/05 Mon
• "Mmm..." She mumbled as he stopped the kiss to speak and as soon as the words were out, she dipped her head to kiss him again before she drew back after a few minutes. "More like I was drunk a lot those first few weeks." She grinned teasingly, letting out a low sound as she shifted over her hips agaun. She was enjoying their playful chatting though, and wasn't going to rush into having sex, instead enjoying their banter and the close comfort of his body pressed to hers. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:28:31 05/16/05 Mon
• He laughed quietly but nodded slowly - not really about to deny that one because it was mostly true. He was completely content as well - enjoying her company wholeheartedly, and loving the relaxing tone. As she shifted again though, he cleared his throat quietly and his hands moved to her hips to steady the weight of her over him for just a moment before he breathed a long breath. (NT) -- Colin, 11:35:26 05/16/05 Mon
• She let out a soft breath in return, feeling the effect she was having on him acutely. She rested her head on his shoulder for a second before she looked up, her hand sliding to curl around his still well shaped bicep. "Think I'll still have this effect on you when we are fifty, Colin?" She questioned softly, one thing was for sure, neither time nor familiarity had changed the way her lips caressed his name in only the way a lover could, only the way a woman who's whole entire being was devoted to the man could... (NT) -- Lexi, 11:39:58 05/16/05 Mon
• "Undoubtably..." He assured her without hesitation, and smiled slowly, dropping his head back into the pillows and just watching her lovingly - though every once in a while his gaze deepened a little with desire, ever aware of their closeness. His hands slid slowly up her sides to curl around her ribcage, thumbs gently brushing the ample swells of her chest. (NT) -- Colin, 11:48:04 05/16/05 Mon
• She smiled sweetly at that simple word that meant so much more to her then he could imagine. "Your the long haul guy, you know that right?" She questioned softly, her eyes following his, taking in the different emotions she could read in them - lust, love, affection, relaxation, ease...her own body stiffened and then melted as his thumbs caressed her flesh, the rough callouses against her soft skin so incredably pleasing. Her head nestled beneath his chin, comfortable there with his lazy touch. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:03:31 05/16/05 Mon
• "I'm figuring that out..." He assured her with a slow smile and a soft sigh - he knew that he was and it didn't scare him or worry him or bother him in any way. He loved the fact and took comfort in the knowledge that he had her and she had him for life. His fingers slid back down her back to curl into the hem of her top and then drew that slowly up and over her head, tossing it to the ground before hishands returned to her flesh. (NT) -- Colin, 12:08:59 05/16/05 Mon

• Though he had confidence in himself that he would never make such a mistake again, and he was happier being clean and healthy again than he had ever been on drugs... Sometimes, when he was having trouble getting motivated, or feeling a little down, or exceptionally tired, he thought about that intense edge that his demon had always provided with. More often than not, he didn't think about it though, and just tried to focus on how much better life was now - like today, he was feeling pretty good about everything. A bag of Chinese in one arm, he worked open the door with his free hand and then pushed it shut behind him, tossing his keys onto the table and kicking off his shoes. "Bai Bai?" (NT) -- Colin, 10:45:04 11/20/04 Sat
• She looked up from where she was sitting on the floor cross legged, a sigh of pleasure escaping her lips at the sight of the food. "Hey sexy." She winked playfully; He had pretty much moved in here since he was no longer with the agency he didn't have that little penthouse hotel room that had given them so many memories. "Did you get me the little dougnuts? Cuz those are the best..." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:56:34 11/20/04 Sat
• "You only love me because I bring you food." He stated with a wink and a small smirk, then placed the bag down infront of her as he headed into the kitchen to grab some drinks - but not until he had glanced over the papers spread out around her first. He wasn't like her - didn't get anxious when he didn't have anything to do with himself - but was definitely kind of missing a bit of a mental challenge every once in a while. It was hard though - he hadn't applied anywhere yet because he was pretty sure he wouldn't appreciate the letdown when everyone refused to hire him because he was a recovering cocaine addict.. (NT) -- Colin, 11:10:30 11/20/04 Sat
• She definately didn't mind having him around all the time and she didn't think he was ready for the rejection yet either. Not that everyone would be sure to reject him or anything, it was just a tough kinda situation and it was going to be rough for awhile. She shifted a bit, waiting fro him to cover before she tugged him down next to her in order to press a kiss to his lips. "You didn't answer me, did you get the doughnuts?" She questioned, digging through the bag to find the food she was looking for with a great big grin. "I love you so much." She stated, grinning as she leaned up to kiss him one more time. She really did - she loved him more then anything else in the world and in a moment she would give up everything she had just to be with him forever. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:23:56 11/20/04 Sat
• Grinning, he handed her drink as he settled down beside her, and returned the kiss briefly before shifting to sit cross-legged - letting her unpack all the food. "You tell me. I got so much damn food I can't remember what all I got..." He teased with a wink and just watched her lovingly, but rolled his eyes at her pleased reaction to the food. "Again, you're only saying that 'cause I bring you food. And because of the mad sex. Food and sex, that's all a woman needs - right?" (NT) -- Colni, 11:27:10 11/20/04 Sat
• She pushed aside all her files and whatnot to clear room and just spread out the food and smiled up at him. "Your so fishing for compliments but I am not biting." She winked gently, grinning gently as she leaned up to press a loving kiss to his jaw. "...but yeah, the sex and the food, those are two top things." She winked teasingly before she tore off a piece of the pastry and popped it into his mouth. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:35:14 11/20/04 Sat
• He shook his head at her - attempting scolding - but couldn't help laughing a little and dipping his head to pulling a piece of her food from her fingers with his teeth. Swallowing the mouthful before speaking again, he nodded, and then started to rifle through the boxes of food as well - finding himself something that appealed as he spoke to her, tone teasing. "Works for me too - sex and food." (NT) -- Colin, 11:42:02 11/20/04 Sat
• "Um, don't forget sleep, thats important too." She grinned gently, winking up at him before she looked over at what he had and stole a bite before she broke open her sweet and sour chicken and her noodles, completely content with pushing away from her work and concentrating on him and her food. "We should do something tonight...." She murmured absently. "Your mama called and was complaining about never seeing you." (NT) -- Lexi, 11:51:43 11/20/04 Sat
• "Mmm... Sleep is low on the priority list though. It's needed but not the best thing." He pointed out with a matter-of-fact nod and then a wink, falling silent as he chowed down on some vegetables for a long moment, and then spoke again with another nod - but this time slower, not hesitant, just more casual. "Sure... Whatever you want. I've been meaning to call my parents... But just haven't gotten around to it." It was hard to face a lot of people these days - his parents included.. (NT) -- Colin, 11:57:08 11/20/04 Sat
• "I love sleeping." She stated bluntly and honestly. "I want to go see a movie, think you'll be able to sit through it?" She questioned softly, tilting her head to the side as she grinned, popping the food into her mouth again before she pushed it away - done for now though she would definately be grabbing some more later - leftovers rocked. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:07:13 11/20/04 Sat
• "I know you do." He smirked a little and rolled his eyes but just finished up his food, and then nodded a little. "Yeah, sure, a movie is fine. I'll just sleep." He teased good-naturedly - implying that he enjoyed movies even less than he enjoyed sleep. He was just kidding though - if she wanted to see a movie, he was more than willing. They just tended to be hard for him to sit through - his attention wandered so easily... (NT) -- Colni, 12:12:47 11/20/04 Sat
• She laughed softly, tilting her head as she winked. "Well we can go to the one across town with the arm rests that go up and if you get bored we can just fool around." She grinned lightly, standing up to throw away some of the cartons and then went about putting the rest of it into the fridge. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:20:42 11/20/04 Sat

• She was sitting on the floor, sorting through some photo's and then some print files. This latest class had her baffled and she had no idea what to do with it. At the moment she was considering leaving law enforcement and just becoming a stripper. It would really be all around easier. With a sigh she pushed the now grown cat out of her lap and then looked up at the knock on the door. "It's open!" Her mom was supposed to come over sometime that day - and while unusual for bailey to knock - she just figured it was her. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:47:00 10/23/04 Sat
• Inhaling a deep breath in an attempt to soothe the knots in his stomach - he had no idea why he was so nervous, but he was - he pushed through the door, and slowly set his bag down just inside, closing and locking the door behind himself. "Hey..." He offered with a hesitant smile - there was something different about him, but it was hard to put a finger on. Though he seemed more at peace and less haunted, he still had yet to return to his ideal weight, and he did look a little tired. (NT) -- Colin, 08:53:29 10/23/04 Sat
• Her jaw dropped slightly as she saw him, leaning back on her hands as a slow smile crossed her pretty face. "Colin..." She smiled slowly shaking her head before she stood up, moving to him slowly, just so happy that he was there that she wanted to savor the moment. "Welcome home, baby...." (NT) -- Lexi, 08:55:54 10/23/04 Sat
• His features lit in quiet relief at her smile and the tone to her voice, and he just stood there a moment before moving towards her at the same time. With a low breath, he slipped his arms tightly around her and burried his face in her neck - now came the hardest part. He needed to learn who he himself was without the drugs, and he was just so thankful she was there to help him. (NT) -- Colin, 09:01:00 10/23/04 Sat
• She hugged him tightly, running her hand over the back of his head lovingly before she drew back to gently brush her lips against his - just tasting him once again. A low sigh escaped her lips, her eyes slowly opening to take him in again. "I missed you so much, love." SHe had thought about him all the time and it showed as she guided him towards the couch, not even caring as she stepped on the papers. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:06:38 10/23/04 Sat
• "I missed you too, Bai... So much." He murmured gently, a little roughly, as he returned her kiss sweetly and then brushed a hand down her side as he trailed after her. Settling down slowly, he tugged her gently into his lap and pressed his lips softly to her cheek. "I love you, Bailey Alexis, more than anything." (NT) -- Colin, 09:11:52 10/23/04 Sat
• She smiled gently, her hand soothing down his leg to squeeze softly, "I love you too, and I am so happy to have you back here with me..." She sighed softly, unable to stop herself from climbing into his lap and cuddling there. "How are you feeling? How did you get here? Did you take a cab?" She was just full of questions, her brow's raised as she gazed at him curiously, lovingly, and oh so happily. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:29:47 10/23/04 Sat
• "Glad to be back... I took a cab, yeah." Sighing quietly, he nuzzled her neck and then pressed a warm kiss to her jaw, his arms tight around her neck. "I'm okay, baby. Glad to be back." He repeated that - partially to reassure himself. This next little while was going to take some serious adjusting... (NT) -- Colin, 09:36:40 10/23/04 Sat

• She was stretched out idely on the bed, her work files spread out in front of her. She had gotten hired on by the local chapter of the FBI, in the CSI unit which was pretty intriguing work. It kept her busy while she would have been thinking on Colin, driving herself crazy. The photo's she had on the bed were pretty gruesome and for now she was done studying them. She'd head into the lab later to try some fiber traces....her thoughts were cut off by the phone ring and she leaned over, pushing the files carelessly off the bed in favor of stretching out. "Hello?" (NT) -- Lexi, 00:46:18 10/15/04 Fri
• "Hey..." He had to clear his throat softly before speaking, and his voice was still a little rough - a combination of lack of use, he was pretty quiet these days, and just the emotion of hearing her. "It's me..." He offered, just incase she needed it, and was inwardly thankful they were just on the phone and she couldn't see him. Despite the hours of extra sleep he was getting, his eyes were still red-rimmed, lines of stress creased his young features, and his appetite hadn't returned enough for him to gain any of the much-needed weight back. (NT) -- Colin, 00:50:33 10/15/04 Fri
• "Colin...." She sat up immediatly, her own voice immediatly choking as she heard his voice. "Baby, how are you? Are you feeling better?" She questioned immediatly, her brow furrowed. She missed him so badly it ached within her very soul at times. "I miss you..." (NT) -- Lexi, 00:54:59 10/15/04 Fri
• "Better... Getting there..." It was almost a promise as he exhaled the words and closed his eyes softly - every moment that he wasn't thinking dark, dreary thoughts, she was on his mind. He was doing this for her, and that alone was enough to get him through everything - if only he could remember it. "I miss you too, love, so much... How are you?" (NT) -- Colin, 00:59:52 10/15/04 Fri
• "I am alright...been busy with work, I finally got a job..." She smiled softly, drawing her knee's to her chest as she bit her lip, just thankful to hear his voice. "I didn't know if you would be able to call..." A low breath escaped her lips as she waited quietly for him to speak, she missed him so much - the bed was so lonely. (NT) -- Lexi, 01:06:37 10/15/04 Fri
• "Good... I'm glad you're keeping busy. What are you doing?" His smile was obvious in his voice as he questioned about her job - clearly so happy for her that she had found something to do. "Yeah, I'm not really supposed to be able to call, but I've been such a good boy they thought I deserved it." (NT) -- Colin, 01:08:29 10/15/04 Fri
• She laughed softly, shaking her head. "Well, I am glad that you are being a good boy..." She smiled softly before she spoke again, her voice soft. "Um, I am officially a fed now working the CSI unit here." She smirked a bit, her head tipped. "Just like on tv." (NT) -- Lexi, 01:10:30 10/15/04 Fri
• "I'm trying, baby.. I'm really trying.." He murmured with a soft sigh before smiling again, a hand running slowly over his growing hair - he was dying to buzz it again, but was letting it grow out until he got out of there. "That's incredible, Bai. I told you would find something... I'm so proud of you." (NT) -- Colin, 01:15:02 10/15/04 Fri
• "I'm proud of you too, you know that right? I love you so much Colin..." She let out a soft breaht, her eyes sliding shut as she made sure to stay strong for him. "I can't wait to see you again...you know I am never gonna let you leave the apartment." Her voice was teasing, but only half so - when she got him back she wasn't going to easily let go. (NT) -- Lexi, 01:20:42 10/15/04 Fri
• "I love you too, baby, so much..." He let out a soft, low laugh and ran his hand down his face, dropping his head back again. "A couple more weeks, love, and then I'll be home, and you can keep me all to yourself as long as you'll have me." (NT) -- Aiden, 01:23:30 10/15/04 Fri
• She smiled softly, twisting her fingers into the blanket for a long moment before she spoke again. "Has it been bad, Colin? I mean, have you been hurting?" She heard that it could be hard, the physial withdraw could be painful and she had been so concerned about him - every time she stopped for even a second he was on her mind and she was stressing about how he was feeling, if he was lonely if he was upset, or in pain.... (NT) -- Lexi, 01:31:13 10/15/04 Fri
• "Not physically, not so bad... It's actually more mental than anything with cocaine addiction." He assured her gently - the painful part was feeling like he didn't even know who he was anymore, and being scared about the things that he might do or say, unable to trust himself. (NT) -- Colin, 01:36:48 10/15/04 Fri
• She nodded a bit, sighing softly. "I can't wait to have you back home with me,..." She stated softly, letting out a low breath. "I love you..." She stated again, unable ot think of anything else except for wanting him to know how much she cared. (NT) -- Lexi, 01:45:14 10/15/04 Fri
• "Can't wait to be back home... I love you too, baby..." He murmured gently before sighing, falling silent for a moment before speaking again - more tentatively now. "Your mom... Say hi for me?" He was worried about her parents - he knew neither of them were too fond of him these days. (NT) -- Colin, 01:50:22 10/15/04 Fri
• She sighed in return to that, biting her lip a bit before she nodded quietly. "Yeah, baby, I will..." She murmured gently. He was right, neither one of her parents were to impressed with Colin at the moment. (NT) -- Lexi, 01:56:06 10/15/04 Fri
• "Alright..." He sighed quietly and shited slightly in his seat - he wasn't sure what else to say to her right now. "I'll be home soon... You just stay busy and take care of yourself, alright love?" (NT) -- Colib, 02:02:51 10/15/04 Fri
• "Yeah, thats what I have been trying to do." She smiled softly, twirling her hair around her finger. "If I don't stay busy, I think about you way to much, not that I don't think about you all the time, but its bad thinking about you, sad thinking about you." She stated softly, lovingly. "What do you do all day their?" She questioned, curious about what he was going through. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:07:31 10/15/04 Fri
• "I know..." He assured her with a small smile and then let out a soft breath as he shifted slightly in his seat. "Um, nothing really special... Group therapy and private sessions take up a good deal of time... Do a lot of hanging around.." (NT) -- Colin, 03:25:40 10/15/04 Fri

• He felt drained and exhausted, and everything just seemed so bleak - all it would take was one little fix and he'd be back to himself... But he pushed those thoughts aside for now and just nodded slightly, fingers brushing through her hair quietly for a moment. "Thanks, Bai Bai..." (NT) -- Colin, 22:11:17 10/05/04 Tue
• She smiled tenderly, her hand moving to caress his jaw slowly. "I love you so much, Colin..." She stated softly, her hand gently running down his shoulder. "Do you want to lay down or something?" She shifted a bit to wrap her arms around his waist tightly, lovingly holding him close. (NT) -- Lexi, 22:16:22 10/05/04 Tue
• "I love you too, Bailey, more than anything... And I'm so sorry for all of this.." He murmured gently - so obviously remorseful. He hated knowing everything that he had done to her - before this as well - and knowing the her mother was right and she really didn't deserve any of this. (NT) -- Colin, 22:26:55 10/05/04 Tue
• She nodded, leaning up to press a gentle kiss to his lips. "Honey, you should lay down...." She stated softly, her hands slowly easing up and down his sides, soothing as she touched him. (NT) -- Lexi, 22:33:51 10/05/04 Tue
• "Come with me?" He dropped his forehead gently to hers and brushed his lips briefly over hers, fingers pushing through her hair and then running slowly down her arms, eyes quiet on hers. (NT) -- Colin, 22:39:25 10/05/04 Tue
• She nodded tenderly, her hand moving down to entwine in hers as she let out a soft breath. "Of course." She smiled gently, tugging on his hand to head towards the bedroom to get him more comfortably settled into their bed. (NT) -- Lexi, 22:53:08 10/05/04 Tue
• Once in the room, he pulled his tee over his head and crawled into the bed in just his jeans, getting settled and then opening his arms up to her, gaze soft. "You look like you need some rest too, Bailey..." (NT) -- Colin, 22:57:04 10/05/04 Tue
• She cuddled up next to him in no time at all, her hand resting softly on his chest. "Yeah...a little bit of sleep would probably be a good idea..." She smiled softly at him, just so obviously relieved to have him there with her. (NT) -- Lexi, 23:03:27 10/05/04 Tue
• His arms wrapped tightly around her and his lips brushed her cheek and then down her jaw slowly. "Thank you..." He murmured softly, eyes lightly shut - he knew he was lucky that she was even there for him. (NT) -- Colin, 23:07:33 10/05/04 Tue
• She smiled softly, just staying close to him as she closed her eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep - her body was aching for the rest and she was sure he would need to get some rest too, his body had been through a good deal of shock. (NT) -- Lexi, 23:10:40 10/05/04 Tue
• He drifted off as she did with his arms tightly around her still - just thankful to get some rest and not have to worry about things for a little while. He wasn't sure what was going to happen to him in the next few days, and preferred not to think about it just yet. (NT) -- Colin, 23:19:10 10/05/04 Tue

• He was just tired of it all - the harder he tried to stop using, the more exhausted he felt and the darker the world seemed to be. It was mentally and physically wearing him out and he could handle it, and then when he went for another fix - he felt like a complete failure who could do nothing for himself or the woman that he loved more than anything. It was even more difficult being off work because he had nothing to keep him busy or focussed... (NT) -- Colin, 10:21:54 10/04/04 Mon
• She knocked on the door but then just let herself in, closing the door behind her before she crossed her arms over her chest - staring him down with those bright blue eyes that sparked so visciously when she was upset, especially if it had something to do with one of her babies. "You know, I don't look highly on my little girl coming to my house three nights in one week all upset and refusing to tell us why." (NT) -- Bailey, 10:26:22 10/04/04 Mon
• He was slouched into the couch looking incredibly miserable and, though surprised to see her and that she had just barged right in, he didn't move, just sighed quietly and dropped his head back against the back of the couch so he could look up to her. "Hey Bailey." (NT) -- Colin, 10:48:32 10/04/04 Mon
• She pursed her lips. "I told Shaun that what he heard couldn't be true, that Bailey wouldn't be with a guy who was an addict. She was smarter then that." She tensed her jaw, tilting her head to the side. "But apperantly I was wrong." She sighed, she had defended him to Shaun - he was so protective of his girls. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:54:13 10/04/04 Mon
• He groaned inwardly and shifted to sit forward, elbows dropping to his knees and head into his hands - fingers moving slowly over his freshly re-buzzed scalp. This was exactly what he had been afraid of more than anything - her parents finding out. "Don't know what you tell you, Bailey.." His gaze shifted up to her - dark cicles lined his eyes and his voice was soft. He was clearly exhausted, but it was unclear quite why. (NT) -- Colin, 11:00:12 10/04/04 Mon
• She shook her head, sitting down on the coffee table in front of him, her brow furrowed. "I don't know what to tell you either, Colin, Lexi is staying with us tonight, she isn't feeling well and she didn't feel like driving back." She frowned softly, running a hand over her head. "She doesn't deserve to be so upset all the time, at first I thought it was just because you two were fighting all the time, now I see she's worrying herself sick too." (NT) -- Baiey, 11:04:47 10/04/04 Mon
• He exhaled softly, eyes sliding slowly shut - didn't anyone realize that he couldn't just decide to stop doing this to everyone? Frowning in quiet frustration, he shook his head slowly, tone serious and honest. "I'm sorry she has to worry so much.." But he didn't know what else he could say or do. (NT) -- Colin, 11:15:06 10/04/04 Mon
• "So check yourself into an inpatient treatment center and don't leave until your sure you can grow up and handle yourself." She stated bluntly, her eyes oh so serious. "Shaun's freaking out, Colin, he doesn't want her anywhere near you." She growled shaking her head. "You have to do something, or your not going to have a girlfriend very much longer if her father has anything to say about it." (NT) -- Bailey, 11:20:59 10/04/04 Mon
• "I'm not checking myself into anywhere. That's so unnecessary." He growled defensively as he sat up a little straighter - he was aware of his addiction, but refused to admit it to anyone else. "She's an adult and I have more faith in her to do what she feels is right and not what her dad is most interested in." (NT) -- Colni, 11:30:11 10/04/04 Mon
• "She's a young girl blinded by stubborn ideas of love!" She insisted with a growl. "And if you cared about her at all you wouldn't want her involved with a man who's going to end up a junkie addict for the rest of his life!" She growled heavily, standing up, gazing down at him. "Are you forgetting that she was shot by a man who didn't think he had a problem?" She knew she was being harsh, but Colin needed it. "And I bet he told everyone he would never let it go that far, that he could control himself too." She shook her head frowning. "You keep going like you are Colin, and your going to endanger not only yourself, but her too." (NT) -- Bailey, 11:32:21 10/04/04 Mon
• "You don't have a clue what you're talking about, Bailey. You make it sound so simple, but how could you really understand?" He leaned back in the couch as she stood, arms crossing slowly over his chest - it was so frustrating trying to explain himself to other people who truly didn't have a clue when he didn't even get much of it himself. (NT) -- Colin, 11:36:04 10/04/04 Mon
• "I understand because I went through it with Shaun I don't know how many times!" She shook her head, growling. "Your so fucking self centered and bullheaded you don't even care about her, or how this affecting her. Think about someone besides yourself and your own damn pride Colin. You could mess yourself up physically, mentally, you could take a hit that isn't pure someday and die right there on her bathroom floor." (NT) -- Bailey, 11:39:05 10/04/04 Mon
• "You don't have a clue, Bailey." He just stated simply - it was easy for her to stand there and blame him for not caring about Lexi and all that, but that really couldn't have been farther from the truth. And as if he didn't live with the fears every time he went for a fix that something would go wrong, but it really wasn't so simple as just giving it up, or giving himself up to rehab. (NT) -- Colin, 11:52:34 10/04/04 Mon
• She shook her head, letting out a soft breath. "What is keeping you from going inpatient, Colin, honestly?" She watched him, trying to keep a cool head and not just ordering him to stay away from her daughter. (NT) -- Bailey, 01:03:56 10/05/04 Tue
• He prided himself on being a strong person and so he was having trouble checking himself in for a few reasons - one, because he didn't want to admit to everyone that he was so weak to have formed such a nasty addiction, and two, because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to to handle the withdrawal. But again, he had too much pride to admit that to anyone - the mother of his girlfriend especially. "It's not like it's a vaca in the sun. I'd be stuck in there... And I would have nothing when I got out - I'd lose my job and any chances at anything else." (NT) -- Colin, 01:30:43 10/05/04 Tue
• "Your goig to lose your job either way, Colin, and the way your going right now - that drug is the only thingk your going to have to comfort you because Lexi is going to wise up one of these days. She's going to realize that she can't fix you herself." She shook her head with a sigh, she really didn't want him hurting himself and she didn't want her little girls, or his even, heart broken again. (NT) -- Bailey, 01:34:49 10/05/04 Tue
• He his head with a defensive growl, hands running over his head rapidly in agitation - he didn't handle stress well, especially in his current state of mind. "Do you and Shaun realize that Lexi is a grown woman? It's understandable that you would be concerned, but she should be able to make her own decisions without you two feeding opinions in her ear." (NT) -- Colin, 06:22:55 10/05/04 Tue
• She growled angerily, shaking her head as she stood up. "You...you...." She nearly sputtered in her anger. "Your a big jerk!" So it was a juvenile sentiment but she was aggravated and he was pissing off her thoroughly, she stood up, grabbing her purse and heading towards the door. (NT) -- Bailey, 06:27:02 10/05/04 Tue
• "Bailey...!" He growled as she headed for the door and shifted to stand, not moving after her too much - he was a large man and even in his slightly underweight state, he could be intimidating, especially given his frustration with everything. "Please... I just don't know what I can do yet... You don't know what this stuff does you you.." His tone was bordering on desperate - he needed help so badly and he knew it, but it just wasn't his personality to ask for it. (NT) -- Colin, 06:31:50 10/05/04 Tue
• She let out another quiet growl, turning back to face him, shaking her head. "You know exactly what you should do but your refusing to do it." She stated bluntly, her brow furrowed as she crossed her arms beneath her chest. "Like I said, Lexi is staying over our house tonight because she isn't feeling well. We'll try not to whisper to many opinions in her ear." Her words were borderlining bitter. (NT) -- Bailey, 06:43:41 10/05/04 Tue
• She fought just like her daughter did and it was so impossible to reason with - though he was pretty difficult to reason with as well - so he just shook his head and grabbed his hoodie off the side of the couch and dug his keys out of his pocket. "Seeing as I seem to have that effect on her, you can tell her she can come back whenever she wants and she won't have to worry about me being around." (NT) -- Colin, 06:49:30 10/05/04 Tue
• She shook her head, her eyes quietly confused and shockingly amazed at his attitude. "You really are an asshole." She shook her head, frowning heavily. "I am really trying to believe its this drug thats making you like this and that this isn't really who you are." She shook her head, turning again as she took out her own keys. "But I'll give her the message, word for word." (NT) -- Bailey, 06:52:20 10/05/04 Tue
• He exhaled a low breath and just nodded - almost a little shakily - because he didn't know what else to do, a hand running down his face before he reached for the door handle. This really wasn't who he was and the problem had gone beyond his physical health suffering - he was mentally starting to go downhill.. (NT) -- Colin, 06:59:02 10/05/04 Tue
• She shook her head with a sigh, he was letting everything in his life go and he didn't even seem to realize it. With a sot sigh she turned, heading out the door and the down the stairs to the parkinglot.... (NT) -- Bailey, 07:18:32 10/05/04 Tue

• His day hadn't gone much better - for whatever reason, Sullivan had ordered a urine test the day before and he had, not surprisingly, tested positive for cocaine metabolite. His drive over - in his finally completely redone 442 - had been spent trying to figure out how he could mentally go 72 hours without using in order to be clean for his re-test. But he didn't even know when that re-test would be, all he knew was that it would happen and sooner rather than later. With a low sigh, he ran a lightly trembling hand over his head before knocking and then letting himself in. "Bai Bai?" He had been handed an indefinite - until he tested clean - suspension without pay and was lucky to get off with just that.... (NT) -- Colin, 09:45:36 10/02/04 Sat
• She looked over her shoulder, offering him a slight smile. Her jacket had been discarded leaving her in just the black lacy cami she had worn underneath it and the pin striped skirt that was resting high on her thighs. "Hey baby..." She greeted, her head tilting to the side as she took out a couple more pins out of her hair - it was starting to give her a headache. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:57:01 10/02/04 Sat
• "Hey." He lingered in the doorway for a moment, watching her quietly, and then stepped back a little before turning and heading into the kitchen. Pulling open the fridge door, he reached for a beer but then changed his mind and opted for a bottle of water instead - unsure quite why, but just that he wasn't feeling much like anything. Normally, he didn't mind disciplinary suspensions - sometimes he got paid, but even when he didn't he had enough to get by until he was reinstated, and he didn't mind the time off. He wasn't like her - was much less driven. It was hard this time around though because, should he re-test positive, his only options were accept expulsion, or appeal. An appeal would mean blood tests and meetings, and rumors flying around the agency. It was attention that he just wasn't interested in right now. (NT) -- Colin, 10:03:54 10/02/04 Sat
• She looked over her shoulder at his quiet demeanor, her brow furrowed, She stood up after a few seconds, setting aside her papers before she came up behind him, her arms around his waist as she pressed a soft kiss to his shoulder gently. "Whats up?" She could already tell just by his demeanor something happened to upset him and she hated seeing him upset. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:07:20 10/02/04 Sat
• Lingering with his hands on the edge of the counter, back to her and the rest of the kitchen, for a long moment, at her kiss he tipped his head forward slightly and then shifting finally to turn to face her. "They tested me..." The unnerving part was that they had tested only him - none of the other guys - which made him wonder if someone had said something to Sullivan, and he hated having to start questioning and doubting the guys he worked with. (NT) -- Colin, 10:14:43 10/02/04 Sat
• She sighed softly at that, her brow furrowed gently as she nodded. "Your suspended?" She questioned, though she really already knew the answer. She knew the day would come some day and she was almost grateful that she was already out of the agency so she wouldn't have to lie to her superious because they for sure would have interrogated her about him. She ran her hands gently, soothingly over his sides as she gazed up at him - her eyes a mix of worry and compassion. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:25:48 10/02/04 Sat
• "Yeah... Till they decide they want to test me again..." That was really the hardest part - not knowing when to aim to be clean, wondering how long he could push usage... But then he worried that they would test him right back in three days or less - so it crossed his mind that maybe it wasn't safe to go for a fix, period. It was all so confusing and he just didn't know what to do. (NT) -- Colin, 10:32:22 10/02/04 Sat
• She tightened her arms around him, her head tipped back to see him better. "I am sorry..." She didn't know what else to say, she knew all this meant for him and to be honestly she was a little bit scared of the results of it. If he quit using, the withdrawl would no doubt be wicked and he would be going through a lot - she hurt for him already. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:38:09 10/02/04 Sat
• "Me too..." He agreed softly and slipping his arms tightly around her, cheek resting lightly against the top of her head and eyes lightly shut for a long moment. All this was his fault and that just made things worse - he had no one to be mad at but himself.. (NT) -- Colin, 10:43:13 10/02/04 Sat
• Her hand soothed lovingly over his back, holding him close to her as she sighed. "It'll all work out Colin...." She murmured softly, her eyes closed as she rested her head against his chest. Suddenly her bad day didn't seem nearly as important. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:59:05 10/02/04 Sat
• "I just might be jobless and with a ruined reputation, but it'll all be okay..." He murmured softly, just gently - he hated sounding like such a pessimist, but he just couldn't see how things were going to work out alright. His arms tightened around her though and he pressed a light kiss to her temple. "I'm sorry for all this though..." One thing that he couldn't get out of his mind was the fact that her dad still chit-chatted with a lot of guys from the agency, and if word got out... (NT) -- Colin, 11:23:30 10/02/04 Sat
• She nodded, her hand soothing down his arm slowly. "I know, sweetheart." She stated, sighing as she drew back a little bit. She didn't even know what to say about any of this, she was at a loss and she felt severely lacking in the emotional support department. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:33:38 10/02/04 Sat
• His fingers brushed quietly down her cheek and he dipped his head to press a light, sweet kiss to her lips. "But this is really going to work out, eventually..." He assured her gently - trying to take back his position of comforter. He preferred the control. (NT) -- Colin, 11:38:18 10/02/04 Sat
• She was supposed to be the one comforting him, reassuring him, she was just so bad at that role. She kissed him tenderly in return, brushing back her hair once she fell back down to her flat feet. "I thought I had a bad day." She shook her head, letting out a soft breath as she ran her hands down his wrist to squeeze his fingers gently. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:43:23 10/02/04 Sat
• "What happened?" He inquired quietly with a gentle frown, his hands turning over and then slipping into hers, catching her lips for another brief kiss. As confusing as his day had been, he still worried and wondered about hers. He knew how frustrated she got when she wasn't working. (NT) -- Colin, 11:46:50 10/02/04 Sat
• She shook her head with a sigh. "The interview was a bomb, I think the guy had the potential to be the next Sullivan. He offered me a secretary position and the casually slipped in that his wife was out of town." She shook her head with a huff. "Guys are such jerks, Colin." She frowned before she looked up at him, a smile replacing the previous expression. "Cept for you." (NT) -- Bailey, 11:55:41 10/02/04 Sat
• "What an asshole. If it wasn't for those ridiculous laws, I'd go beat him up - like we used to do in high school." He growled softly and tightened his arms around her, a quiet sigh then slipping from his lips. "Yeah, I do what I can." (NT) -- Colin, 12:00:30 10/02/04 Sat
• She smiled softly, shaking her head. "Maybe I am just not supposed to work in this business." She pursed her lips, looking around the apartment for a moment. "This place isn't even that clean so I couldn't just be a house wife....kids kinda frighten me and I would have to go to a sperm bank or something cuz I know your sure as hell not ready for those..." She winked up at him, teasingly playful. (NT) -- Bailey, 12:03:26 10/02/04 Sat
• "Maybe.. But I don't believe that..." He assured her easily without hesitation - she was an incredible agent and he didn't doubt her abilities or the fact that she had been born to do what she did for a moment. (NT) -- Colin, 12:16:06 10/02/04 Sat
• She smiled gently, brushing her lips against his jaw sweetly. "I love you, Colin Black, no matter what." In her opinion, their love for each other had been proven time after time. Through his addiction, her getting shot, both their tempers.... (NT) -- Bailey, 12:18:16 10/02/04 Sat
• That brought a small, though somewhat tired, smile to his lips and he dipped his head to kiss her sweetly - brief but warm and loving. "Love you too Bai Bai..." His hands dropped low over her hips, just gently holding her to him - gaze adoring on her but his mind was still trying to work out what he was going to do with himself. (NT) -- Colin, 05:16:18 10/03/04 Sun
• She sighed softly, her hand gently running down his arm to curl around her his wrist, her eyes up on him adoringly. "It's getting chilly, how about we take a nice, warm, relaxing bath and then order in for dinner?" (NT) -- Bailey, 09:13:46 10/03/04 Sun
• He nodded in agreement and slipped his arms around her waist for a long, tight hug, before just kissing her cheek softly and then linking his fingers into hers, dropping his forehead gently against hers and offering a quiet kiss. "Sounds good..." (NT) -- Colin, 10:42:15 10/03/04 Sun
• She smiled softly, running her free hand gently down his chest before she pulled away slowly. "I'll go run the bath..." She stated, heading over to the bathroom to start the water, turn off the lights and light some candles, turning on the cd player in the other room to filter into the dimly lit bathroom. "All set Colin." (NT) -- Bailey, 10:46:33 10/03/04 Sun
• He was sitting on the couch waiting patiently and distracting his mind by flipping through the television channels. At her beckoning, he flicked it off and stood to head into the bathroom to join her. He stripped off her shirt and then paused to lean down to press a warm kiss to the side of her neck, sighing softly. "Love you." (NT) -- Colin, 11:04:32 10/03/04 Sun
• "I love you too." She smiled gently, drawing his shirt over his head before she shifted to finish undressing him, a smile playing over her face, It would be nice to just stretch out and relax in the huge tub. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:08:39 10/03/04 Sun
• His own fingers moved to work loose the clasp on her skirt and then pushed it slowly from her hips, drawing down her underwear at the same time. He caught her lips for a lingering kiss and smiled quietly, leaving her to step into the tub and settled down then offering her his hand. "So beautiful, Bailey Alexis..."

• She took his hand, sinking into the hot water with a content groan of pleasure. Her eyes slid shut and her head immediatly rested back against his shoulder, bringing his arms around her to rest his hands on her stomache. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:37:14 10/03/04 Sun
• His fingers linked over her stomach and then brushed up her sides slowly and down over the outsides of her thighs before finally returning to her abdomen. Echoing her sigh, he sunk deeper down into the water as well and rested his head back, eyes lightly shut. "Sometimes, you are so brilliant." (NT) -- Colin, 11:41:45 10/03/04 Sun
• "Cuz I think of things like taking a bath?" She questioned, with a laugh in her tone as she said it. Her body rested inbetween his legs, her eyes still remaining closed as the hot water soothed her tired and sore muscles. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:43:06 10/03/04 Sun
• "Yeah. Me, I would have settled for some food and the bed. This is so much nicer. We can eat and go to bed afterwards even, so we're not even missing anything." He rambled on softly, eyes still shut and a small smile playing over his lips as he murmured near her ear. (NT) -- Colni, 11:46:26 10/03/04 Sun
• She smiled sweetly in return, tipping her head back to press a kiss to his jaw. "We can even order in Thai if you want, and theres gelato in the freezer." She ran her hand over his thigh idely - she enjoyed spoiling him, taking care of him. It was amazing the way things had all worked out for them, they were so different now then they had been so many years ago. He was teaching her how to love someone all over again. (NT) -- Bailey, 11:55:44 10/03/04 Sun
• "Bailey..." He shook his head slowly, his fingers playing absently up her arm - touch sweet and caressing. "I don't understand how anyone could be so good to another person, ever." A small smile played over his features - he really didn't think he would ever get over how much he loved her. (NT) -- Colin, 11:58:29 10/03/04 Sun
• "Time teaches people a lot of things..." She murmured softly, tilting her head to the side to see him a bit better. "I love you, I want you to be happy..." She murmured gently, her hand squeezing his thigh gently. "There's so much going on in our lives, I just try and remember the little things...you know?" (NT) -- Bailey, 12:05:24 10/03/04 Sun
• "You're the best.. For real. There's no one else as sweet, and thoughtful, and beautiful as you in the whole entire world." And he believed - always would - that wholeheartedly. "I don't know where I would be if not for you, Bailey. You really make every one of my days worth going through.." (NT) -- Colin, 12:08:45 10/03/04 Sun
• She smiled lovingly, turning her head a bit to see him. "Good, I am glad...I want to be that person for you." She murmured softly, biting her lip for a moment before she just relaxed against him once more - her hands running up and down his legs idely. She just adored being with him, and it just reminded her of her parents relationship. They had been through so much too, but they made it and were just as in love as ever... (NT) -- Bailey, 12:18:08 10/03/04 Sun
• "Always been that person." He murmured quietly after a moment of silence, hands running slowly up and down her arms. Even when they had fought so fiercely years before, it had been that intense love that had kept drawing them back to each other, why it was so hard to just walk away from what they had. (NT) -- Colin, 12:20:26 10/03/04 Sun
• She laughed at that, shaking her head. "Maybe, but you wouldn't have believed it for a million dollars, I wouldn't have either." She tilted her head to the side, grinning lightly as he tilted her head back up to him - to meet his eyes. (NT) -- Bailey, 12:24:19 10/03/04 Sun
• "Things were pretty rough back then weren't they?" He laughed softly and pressed a sweet kiss to her temple - they used to fight just for the sake of yelling at the other. He really just didn't understand how what they were doing so much more right this time around. (NT) -- Colin, 12:29:19 10/03/04 Sun
• She laughed lightly and nodded, squeezing his hand softly as her fingers covered his. "Yeah, they were." She smirked gently, shaking her head to the side. "Can I tell you something?" She questioned softly. (NT) -- Bailey, 12:34:32 10/03/04 Sun
• He squeezed her fingers gently in return and smiled quietly, brushing a kiss to the side of her neck and then drifting down to her shoulder - lips resting there as he murmured - brushing her silky skin slowly. "Of course, Bai, anything.." (NT) -- Colin, 12:37:14 10/03/04 Sun
• "I don't think I would really mind if you lost your job in the agency." If he would just get clean he could get another job, and she just worried with him being there for so many reasons. His volatile temper and Sullivan didn't mix well, not to mention just getting hurt on the job, they both knew that could easily happen, as well as the possibility of transfers.... (NT) -- Bailey, 12:40:30 10/03/04 Sun
• l"I wouldn't have a job then..." He pointed out the obvious but commented no more - he didn't mind her thinking that, but it didn't make sense to him. "And I would have a lot of trouble finding a new one. (NT) -- Colin, 12:47:48 10/03/04 Sun
• It made perfect sense to her, but it all depended on him cleaning up his act and she didn't want to bring that up right now. She sighed softly, squeezing his leg for a brief moment before she just closed her eyes, relaxing against him, the water begining to grow cool. (NT) -- Bailey, 12:49:27 10/03/04 Sun
• He didn't say anymore either, just left it at that for now - not really feeling like thinking over anything else serious right now. He just wanted to enjoy the beautiful warm woman in his arms and the the wonderful feel of her. (NT) -- Colin, 13:00:28 10/03/04 Sun
• "Love you." She murmured reassuringly before she shifted a bit, yawning gently. "S'getting chilly, want to get out and order some food so we can cuddle up in bed soon?" (NT) -- Bailey, 13:05:46 10/03/04 Sun
• He nodded, a small smile touching his lips, hands still soothing up and down her arms. "Sure baby. You go ahead and get changed and warmed up - I'll call the restaurant. Want anything special?" His voice was so soft still - he was speaking only to her and there was no need for anything louder. (NT) -- Colin, 21:33:13 10/03/04 Sun
• "Anything you pick out will be good." She smiled back at him before she carefully stood up in the tub, leaning over to grab a towel and wrap it around her before she stepped out of the tub and into the bathroom. Grabbing another towel, she smiled gently and handed it to him before she headed into the bedroom to change into a pair of low slung terry cloth pants and a tee shirt of his that was laying around. (NT) -- Bailey, 21:42:42 10/03/04 Sun
• He wrapped the towel around his waist and smiled, reaching down to drain the tub and then catching her for a quick kiss before she disappeared to get changed. Heading into the kitchen, he looked up the number - though it was almost memorized - and flipped through the small menu they had - though that too was almost memorized - as he waited patiently to place his order... (NT) -- Colin, 21:46:34 10/03/04 Sun
• She came back out a few minutes later, yawning quietly as she came up behind him, her fingers trailing down his back absently before she went to go get a mountain dew out of the fridge. Nights like these were nice and well needed between them... (NT) -- Bailey, 21:54:34 10/03/04 Sun
• "They're pretty busy so it'll be forty-five..." He informed her as he hung up the phone and then turned to watch her for a long moment. With a slight smile, he looped an arm around her waist to pull her to him so he could nuzzle her neck, then nipped softly at her sensitive skin before letting her go so he could head into the bedroom to find something to wear. (NT) -- Colin, 22:00:20 10/03/04 Sun
• She grinned lightly, tugging on his towel as he walked away playfully before she let out a soft breath, sinking down into the couch and flipping on the tv. (NT) -- Bailey, 22:03:11 10/03/04 Sun
• He swatted at her hand playfully and winked over his shoulder and then disappeared into the room. Emerging a few moments later - he had pulled on some boxers and a pair of sweats - he joined her on the couch, an arm slipping around her shoulders. "Whatcha watching, beautiful?" (NT) -- Colin, 22:09:07 10/03/04 Sun
• "Nothing really...." She stated, immediatly curling up agaist his chest with a small smile up at him. "There's never anything on tvon sundays." She shrugged a bit, handing him over the remote - laughing a bit as her stomache growled loudly. (NT) -- Bailey, 22:21:20 10/03/04 Sun
• "Nope, not really..." He agreed and so set the remote down on the coffee table, then tugged her gently into his lap, lips sweetly brushing down her jaw and a hand spreading over her stomach, laughing quietly. "Hungry? It'll be here soon..." (NT) -- Colin, 22:24:05 10/03/04 Sun
• "I am always hungry." She pouted quietly, her head tipped to the side idely as she eyed him quietly, her gaze adoring as she watched him. Her hand gently trailed over his well formed muscles, letting out a low breath. (NT) -- Bailey, 22:32:44 10/03/04 Sun
• "That is very true..." He agreed with a soft laugh and kissed the side of her mouth sweetly before ducking his face into her neck to nuzzle affectionately, the tips of his fingers on her stomach resting just under the waist of her pants. (NT) -- Colin, 22:37:42 10/03/04 Sun
