• She nuzzled in closer to him with a soft sound of quiet, sleepy contentment. "Mm...sleepin'." She stated to him,her hand soothing over his chest slowly, Her eyes slowly opened but then promptly closed again at the bright light over the morning sun. "No work...sleep." She nuzzled closer, yawning softly as her lips brushed against his pecs quietly. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:21:34 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "No sleep, work..." He responded affectionately and edged her gently onto her back as he shifted over her - between her legs and his torso supported on his elbows on either side of her. His lips brushed her jaw and then down her neck to play over the ridge of her collarbone. "So much work..." (NT) -- Colin, 02:24:53 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She sighed softly, tilting her head back as she enjoyed his kisses in her morning fuzzy state. "I like this work.." She ran her hands over his back idely, enjoying the closeness as she eased herself out of sleep mode. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:29:00 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He nipped lightly at the top of her chest as he smirked, lips then drifting slowly to caress lower and a hand shifting to knead at her free flesh. "But we have real work to do..." He was hardly a slavedriver though and was obviously in no rush to get up and to work. (NT) -- Colin, 02:34:52 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She let out a low breath - her eyes closed for a moment as she cleared her throat - finally opening her eyes all the way and gazing down at him. "Then I suggest you stop...or we won't be getting out of bed for awhie..." She brushed back her hair from her eyes, gazing at him warmly. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:38:36 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "You want me to stop?" He glanced up to her for a moment - tone playfully incredulous - before he ducked his face to nuzzle her flesh with a soft sigh and then kissed slowly down to her stomach. He really was the worst procrastinator - much preferred to leave things to last minute... (NT) -- Colin, 02:40:42 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "No." She stated firmly, her hands playing over his head softly before she slowly drew him back up to her. One hand shifted to his opposite shoulder to push him down onto his back, her green eyes growing darker. Her hands moved to his, entwining in his fingers and holding them above his head as she dipped her face to kiss up and down his neck, sucking and nipping heavily - straddling him easily. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:44:53 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Good..." He groaned easily as the pace shifted from lazy and relaxed to much more focussed. Settling onto his back, his head tipped into the pillows and his eyes slid shut - muscles in his arms above his head tightening and growing larger and his stomach sucking in as he inhaled sharply, skin tightening. (NT) -- Colin, 02:48:31 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She just enjoyed being in control every once in awhile and now was one of those times. Her one hand wrapped around both of his wrists, holding him there as her other hand moved over his chest slowly, her eyes drifting up to his - sparkling mischeviously. "You want me?" She questioned softly, pressed down on his hips lightly. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:51:00 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He nodded without hesitation - time had dulled the memories of what they had once had, but the more he was with her, the more he remembered, and things seemed even better now... His eyes opened slowly before sliding shut again as he shifted uncomfortably beneath her. "God, Bailey..." It was obvious, in so many different ways, how badly he needed her. (NT) -- Colin, 02:54:23 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled softly, her hand trailing down his jaw as she leaned down to kiss him heavily before she murmured. "Good...cuz I want you..." And with that she took him - heavily intense at first, but slowing down towards a more loving, but still passionate and intense union.... (NT) -- Lexi, 02:56:00 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His hands pushed up her thighs to cup her hips as he dropped back down into the pillows with a long, low sigh, eyes opening slowly to her. The fingers of one hand lovingly brushed her hair back and a small smile softened his features - heart still pounding, but naturally so, much to his relief.. (NT) -- Colin, 03:02:48 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She sighed softly, resting atop of him for a long time - reluctant to break their joining. Her eyes gently opened after a moment, rising a bit to kneel over him - letting out a long, slow breath. "Wow." She murmured, a small smile caressing her rosy lips. (NT) -- Lexi, 03:57:33 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• A slow grin spread over his lips at that as he nodded slightly in quiet agreement, fingers tightening gently on her hips to hold her to him still. "Yeah..." One eyelid dropped in an affectionate wink as he exhaled another long, low breath. "Morning..." (NT) -- Colin, 04:00:10 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Good morning..." She smiled tenderly - letting out a soft breath before she shifted a bit. He obviously didn't want to leave her warmth either - so she just stayed on top of him as she spoke. "Last night was so much fun..." They had goofed around, snacked some, watched the movies, goofed around some more, made love a few times...it had been a great night. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:06:17 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His hands played up her back absently as he smiled - fingers rough but warm and affectionate on her silky skin. "Yeah, it was great..." Things had been so carefree - they had been interested only in having a good time together, and there hadn't been a single negatively serious moment or argument. (NT) -- Colin, 04:09:17 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "We have so much work today now..." she let out a breath, running her hands through her hair. "Supposed to show up at the office for a little bit later to have them check out my guns and the outfits I plan on going undercover in." Thankfully, she wouldn't have to face Sullivan that day and she liked the guys in the UC department. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:13:20 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah.." He sighed quietly but smiled - really not too concerned about everything that they had to do. He was anticipating things going smoothly - all the prep atleast. "What time? Or it doesn't matter?" Sullivan was getting on his nerves and he was just happy that she wouldn't have to see him.. (NT) -- Colin, 04:19:04 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Anytime was fine, at least thats what they said before." Her hands slipped up and down his chest slowly, her eyes still a little hazy. "Hungry at all?" She doubted he was, but it was worth a shot in asking. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:21:24 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Not really... You?" He shook his head slightly and shifted a little beneath her, hands dropping to rest on her hips, thumbs lightly stroking her skin there. "Any plans on what time you wanna head over there?" (NT) -- Colin, 04:25:51 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Not yet...." She sighed as he moved beneath her - eyes closing for a second. "Um...not till later probably...I haven't even looked over those papers." Her hand gently smoothed up to his shoulders - curling there. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:28:20 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His fingers tightened gently into her flesh at her hips and he cleared his throat softly, eyes dropping over her before he nodded a little - he really needed to work on his self-control, or else they were going to end up spending far more hours in bed than working. "I looked over them a bit... But not much.." (NT) -- Colin, 04:31:54 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She sighed heavily, dropping her lips down to his once more - her voice soft as she murmured to him. "One more time..." Her hips started moving against his once more, her eyes drifting shut. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:37:39 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He shifted her gently onto his back, never breaking their contact, before he took her again - intensely, completely, so passionately. (NT) -- Colib, 04:40:15 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She laid cuddling with him for a long time before she groaned, rolling away from him and stretching out "Alright...for real now...no more sex until we get some work done." She smirked, shaking her head as she pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "I am going to go take a shower..." (NT) -- Lexi, 04:47:59 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Okay.. For real.." He smirked slightly and winked, reluctantly letting her go before he just sighed and stretched out in the bed, tugging a sheet over his as he watched her. (NT) -- Colin, 05:03:24 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She stuck her tongue out teasingly before she headed into the shower - taking her time to enjoy the hot water before she got out. She shifted, grabbing some hair gel and flipping her head over, scrunching her hair into wild black curls. Her eyes went to the mirror - before she went out into the bedroom wrapped in a towel. "I think I am going to try on my outfit and work on doing my makeup, I am not really used to wearing that much." (NT) -- Lexi, 05:05:37 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• As soon as he heard the shower running, he was up pulling on his boxers and then tracking down his things - a quick fix later, he was back in bed, sitting up and but leaning against the headboard and flipping through a file. His eyes rose to watch her for a moment when she returned before he nodded. "Sure.." (NT) -- Colin, 05:15:55 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled - grabbing her duffle bag and heading back into the bathroom. A good half hour later, she came back out clad in a short black leather skirt, a black tube top - her make up done way heavier then usual in a smoky style - lips glosses and a deep red color. She placed one foot on the bed, slipping the small .9 into the holster that was clasp around her upper thigh. "Not bad?" (NT) -- Lexo, 05:21:01 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His gaze played over her slowly before he sighed - eyes drifting down to her foot on the bed and then up her thigh as she holstered her gun. "I don't understand why you have to dress like that..." She looked like the prettiest tramp he had ever seen - but tramp did nothing for him and he didn't like knowing how other guys would look at her, especially the ones he knew she would encounter on this case. (NT) -- Colin, 05:26:13 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She shrugged a bit. "To fit in a little bit better I guess." She shrugged a little, running her hand over her face. "Definately not my usual style." She smirked, shaking her head. "The gun is cold against my legs too, kinda uncomfortable...." She laughed, gazing at him in her bed - it was a nice sight. (NT) -- Lexi, 06:02:26 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Just asking for trouble..." He grumbled and shook his head slightly - though it was obvious that he was only concerned with her safety. With a quiet sigh, he dropped his head back against the headboard and drew his legs up to loop his arms loosely around his knees. For the first time he was thinking like her mother had been feeling the previous evening - maybe this job wasn't as good for her as she thought it was. (NT) -- Colin, 06:06:56 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned softly, her brow furrowed lightly. "Whats wrong?" They couldn't, absolutely couldn't, let their personal feelings for one another get in the way of work. She dropped her knee's to the side of the bed, her gaze concerned on him for a moment. She didn't want him worrying about her - she could handle herself well. (NT) -- Lexi, 06:18:59 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I just..." He sighed quietly - knowing she wouldn't be happy with him if he was doubting her abilities, which he wasn't... But things happened. Of course, he was the bullet magnet - maybe it was him that she should be worrying about, not the other way around. "Just gotta be careful... There's no reasoning with the type of people you're going to run into." Of course they both had work experience with the scum, but he also had personal experience. He knew how things could get if something happened to make someone angry or suspicious, or at all nervous. (NT) -- Colin, 06:31:20 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She nodded, pressing a kiss to his lips lightly before she drew back. "Of course, now - it's time to go into work mode - no more kissing." She winked lightly before she headed into the living room - calling after him. "We can go out onto the balcony, it's really nice out today!" She grabbed her files, a highlighter, and a notebook and took it outside before she went into the bathroom and put on jeans and a tank top - washing off the makeup before she headed out onto the balcony with a bottle of water - ready to work. (NT) -- Lexi, 06:37:39 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I mean it, Bai... Be careful." He repeated after she kissed him and was moving away. For a few more moments, he lingered there in bed, and then finally crawled to his feet to follow her out after gathering his stuff. "Have you taken a look at anything yet?" He dropped his stuff on a lounger and then headed back in to grab a tee to pull on before joining her again. (NT) -- Colin, 06:45:31 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Right now, I am just going to the balcony, Colin, I don't think anyone is going to jump me." She settled down, breaking open the file. "No...just starting to look it over now - what did you get out of it when you looked at it?" (NT) -- Lexi, 06:49:45 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Smart ass." He growled playfully and tossed a ball of paper at her before settling down - lighting up a smoke and taking a long drag before glancing back down. Flipping over a couple pages, his eyes shifted between her and the words as he pointed out a couple things he had highlighted and thought might be helpful.. (NT) -- Colin, 06:52:46 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• At the smell of his cigarettes, she realized she wanted one and had to get up to get hers before she leaned back - her eyes on him serious. "I am going to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me." She stated, before she ashed to the side - her gaze locked on him as she set back down on all four chair legs. "How many of the names on this list do you already know?" (NT) -- Lexi, 06:59:56 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His eyes lingered over her for a moment before he back to the lists, one hand running over his head and then resting at the back of his neck and the other resting on his knee with his smoke between his fingers. "There's some well-known guys on here... Lots of people would know a few of these names..." He knew that wasn't what she had meant, but that was how he responded. (NT) -- Colin, 07:12:55 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Thanks for the honesty." She stated, rolling her eyes before she leaned back down, reading over the bio's on some of the guys to decide who she could charm her way in with. Her dark gaze was pensive as she made some check marks, then erased one of them to mark another. She had an interesting way of picking out who thought she could get with - but it was her own simple system. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:16:59 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "It's not like I'm a dealer, Bailey. I don't know everyone..." Because of his profession, he did what he could to stay unknown when it came to buying - and most of the time he didn't even know the real name of the guy he was dealing with, just a nick. Sighing quietly, he glanced to her for a moment before taking another hit off his smoke and following it up with a couple smothered coughs. (NT) -- Colin, 07:19:39 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She shrugged a bit, shaking it off. She didn't need to know what he did with his addiction or how he got his stuff. It wasn't any of her business, nothing for her to worry about, that was made clear. She glanced down at the papers once again, shifting a few around before she found the one she was looking for, highlighting his name and putting a star by it. That would be the guy she tried to get in with and she was confident she could do it. "Mikhael Ramero." She stated, tapping her pen over his picture. "Thats the guy I am gonna get to tell me what I need." (NT) -- Lexi, 07:25:49 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Are you working this on your own, Bai? Or are we doing this together?" He frowned gently - he knew she was used to working alone, and he knew that she would be doing a lot of this undercover work alone, but he didn't like how she was just telling him how things were going to be. He wouldn't have minded if she had asked him what thought of Ramero, but she didn't. She had decided who she was going to talk to - to get what she needed. (NT) -- Colin, 07:35:06 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She looked up at him, her brow furrowed a bit before she realized what she had done. "I'm sorry..." she let out a soft breath, pursing her lips. "I haven't worked with someone in a long time...." She shifted to move her chair closer to him - completely in work mode. "Ok, this is what I do and then you can tell me what you think ok?" She questioned, spreading out the papers as she pointed to each one. "I look at each one, their age, jobs, positions, all the regular stuff." She shifted the papers to go through another stack - showing him another paper. "This is a list of the people who they are regulary seen with - with this I check and see what they like, blondes, brunettes, what type of girl you know? Which ever one is within my age range, holds a definate position, and likes my type...thats the one I go for." (NT) -- Lexi, 07:42:01 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head a touch - it sounded good, but he really didn't like the idea of her going for a guy who was guaranteed to be interested. "I just don't know about this, Bailey..." He ran a hand over his head and frowned, glancing to her briefly before looking back to his own things - it all just seemed like they were asking for trouble. (NT) -- Colin, 07:51:05 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned softly, lighting up another cigarette and taking a long hit before she glanced to him. "Why not? What you rather we do?" She questioned, her brow furrowed as she gazed at him. She didn't understand what was holding him back but something obviously was. Maybe these guys were actually his little drug buddies and he didn't want them to get into trouble. She enjoyed going undercover - she did well at it and she could handle herself...most of the time at least. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:55:03 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I just don't like the idea of you going in there all enticingly, Bailey. You're good at what you do, I know that, but these aren't guys who'll take no for an answer if they decide that they want more than just to chit-chat with you." He looked to her again and shifted to lean back in his lounger, eyes playing slowly over her features. (NT) -- Colin, 07:59:55 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned heavily, running a hand over her hair before she looked to him. "Look, Colin, you can go in there as anything, a friend, a potential buyer, whatever. They are going to pay attention to you because you are a guy." She frowned, pursing her lips. "I go in there like I normally dress and they are going to automatically suppose something is up. If I go in there like this, I am just another tramp off the street looking for a fix. It's the only way I can get in with them." She shrugged her shoulders, her brow furrowed. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:02:22 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Let me go in, then." He stated simply, a brow raising slowly - if it was that simple for him, why couldn't he do it? He had done just as much undercover work as she had, and he had an even better idea than she would of what to do or say. Not to mention it wasn't a big deal if anyone recognized him - he had bought enough times that that would be all they were thinking of. It made sense to him. (NT) -- Colin, 08:04:58 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned - her brow furrowed, "The way I understand it, we are both supposed to be going in." She frowned softly - her gaze serious on him. "You just don't want me to go in at all?" She leaned back again, rocking in the chair as she leaned back against the railing, both arms spread along the length of it unless she was ashing the cigarette. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:10:36 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah." He stated without hesitation - there was no point in them both going through the risk and it wasn't like they could go together so he could keep an eye on her. "Just let me go in." He inforced, sitting forward again though his eyes didn't stray from her - he would be surprised if she went for it easily, but he was happier to be attempting. (NT) -- Colin, 08:15:00 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• Her jaw tightened heavily - bringing her eyes away from him before she just silently went back to reviewing the files on the table - ashing to the side again - her whole body tense. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:18:26 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Bai?" He could tell she was angry, but she hadn't given him any response to that. Sighing quietly, he lit up another cigarette before glancing back down to his papers - he wasn't sure how easy this was going to be, working with her. Already things seemed so much more complicated. (NT) -- Colin, 08:22:31 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I want to go in." She stated firmly, bringing her gaze to his - her green eyes threatening to spark with spirit. She was serious about this, this was her job - what she loved to do - if she had wanted to just be in the background and do the research and whatnot she would have gone into into intelligance - she wouldn't have been a field agent. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:26:02 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I know you do... But this once, just let me..." He didn't know why things were so different in this case, but they were - maybe because everything hit so close to home. He knew firsthand, from the inside, how these guys worked and what they reacted too - every other time it was all anticipation. (NT) -- Colni, 08:31:38 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I can do this." Her eyes were showing her confusion - she had thought that he believed in her, that he had confidence in her abilities. "Colin..." She frowned, shaking her head - she didn't even know what to say right now. She'd been waiting forever to get reassigned and now he just wanted to sit in the safety of the office and do the paper work? (NT) -- Lexi, 08:35:47 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I know you can..." He sighed softly, pausing to choose his words carefully. "It just doesn't make sense... If Ramero makes a move on you, and you have to defend yourself - he's going to be a little suspicious that a whore knows self-defnse. If you don't defend yourself, things'll get ugly. It's just a bad situation all around, especially given that I could go in and have it a lot easier..." (NT) -- Colin, 08:39:17 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I can handle a guy making a move on me without getting violent." She stated, fighting to keep the anger out of her voice. "I'm trained to do this over and over again, Colin." She looked back down at the papers - her emotions warring between confused betrayal almost and sheer, powerful anger. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:41:47 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head and frowned gently - he still couldn't see things working out so smoothly. "All the training in the world won't prepare you for what could actually happen, Bailey." She was strong and confident and he had every belief in her abilities - but he just hated the idea of anything happening to her. (NT) -- Colin, 08:44:53 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "It would be the same on any one of the assignments! There's always a risk in things Colin, are you going to pull this on our next assignment too? What if its a prostituion ring and I have to go under there? What are you going to do? Go in drag?" She growled, her hand running through her hair as she pushed back from the chair and stood, leaning over the balcony with a low growl. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:48:46 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Bai..." He sighed quietly and stood slowly, moving behind her, hands lightly brushing down her arms. "This is just a little different.." He didn't know how to tell her what he was feeling - he just had too good of an idea of what things where like with these guys. There was no rationing, no reasonable thinking.. (NT) -- Colin, 08:53:26 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She shook her head, turning to face him - her hands gently pushing at his chest to get him to back away from her. "You can't fix this or distract me by touching me, Colin Black, I won't let you." She knew as well as he did that if he got her in his arms she would melt and give into anything he said. "I'm serious, whats going on here? Is it because we're sleeping together? Is that it? Your going all protective on me because we have sex?" (NT) -- Lexi, 08:57:40 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah, Bailey. I don't want you getting hurt because then I might lose my little fuck-buddy." He growled at her and just stepped forward - not too close but close enough that a hand could raise to catch her jaw, firm and intent but never hurting her. "I wouldn't trust myself if I was as strung out as most of these guys are most of the time, Bai... I don't want you hurt because I care about you, a lot, and for this one time we can get away with you not going in there. Why risk it?" (NT) -- Colin, 09:02:09 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned, her gaze dropping down from him as she let out a low breath - blinking her eyes a few times. She wasn't going to cry and make herself look like even more of a baby girl. "Your strung out sometimes and I handle you fine." She gave one last try, her brow furrowed as her shining eyes moved up to his for a brief moment before they dropped again. She didn't know what else to say. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:05:59 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• His fingers softened on her jaw and brushed tenderly over her cheek, a low breath slipping from his lips. "No, I'm not, Bailey..." The amounts he took around her were minimal - as little as he could take to satisfy his physical craving and were no where near how much his mind desired. "It's so different, Bailey. These guys won't look at you like I do - all they'll see is what's between your legs. I want what's in here... And here..." His fingers brushed down her forehead and then softly between the swells of her chest - her mind and her heart, that's what he wanted her so badly for every moment of every day. (NT) -- Colin, 09:10:35 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She couldn't help the tears that welled up in her eyes at that - her arms slipped around his neck - holding herself close to him. "You make it so hard to be mad at you." She murmured softly. holding onto him closely. "It's not going to be like this everytime....right?" She questioned softly, drawing back a little bit - her shining eyes searching his. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:23:07 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He slipped his arms tightly around her and ducked his face into her neck as he inhaled softly, jaw tightening a little as he just held her until she drew back and spoke again. "No.. I just... It scares me knowing what this can do to people.. Some of the dealers don't even touch the stuff, but the others that do have been addicts for most of their lives - they can't think with their own minds anymore..." He couldn't bare to think of her and what could happen to her in that sort of situation. (NT) -- Colin, 09:27:29 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She nodded a bit but she couldn't help but think that one day he would be one of those people and the thought sent a few of the tears she had been holding back rolling down her cheeks. She ducked her head back into his chest, holding onto him tightly - falling silent. She was as scared for him as he was for her but her fear was even more real and it was right there in front of her.

• With this woman in his arms - someone he would one day, maybe sooner, maybe later, be able to admit that he loved more than anything else in the whole entire world - he felt an unfamiliar knot twisting in his stomach as he thought about his own increasing addiction. His arms tightened around her and he inhaled softly - he had never worried about it before, the drug used to make him feel good, were once his only salvation in a lonely life, but now he didn't want anything to do with it anymore...

  ---

• She let out a soft, ragged breath, her cheek against his chest as she held onto him. "You have to be careful too...." She murmured, the warm tears still streaming over her dark lashes. "I don't want you getting hurt either and...and...being around all this stuff....its everywhere and how are you gonna say no?" She sniffled - she hated crying but she was falling for him all over again and she knew he was definately slowly killing himself with this. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:40:17 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "I will be..." He murmured gently, lovingly as his hands played slowly up her arms and then wrapped tightly around her again. "Hey... Bai..." His brows furrowed as his hands moved to cup her face - thumbs desperately brushing beneath her eyes as he dipped his head a little, closer to hers. "Please don't cry, love.. l'll be okay..." (NT) -- Colin, 09:45:50 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She let out a shaky breath, her arms moving back around his neck - her face burying in his chest once more as the tears kept flowing. She had just been keeping all this worry, concern and fright built up inside for so long and this assignment and his instances that she stay out of it - she couldn't hold it all in anymore. (NT) -- Bailey, 09:53:48 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Baby, baby..." He murmured gently and quietly lifted her up off the ground and carried her in off the balcony and to her room to lie her down on the bed and then draw her into his arms - never breaking contact. Eyes lightly shut, he just held her tight to his chest and let her cry. (NT) -- Colin, 09:57:30 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "We're....we're supposed to be working..." She forced out - though the words were obviously forced out. She hadn't cried in longer then she could remember and it was like a dam had broken inside of her as she fisted her hands tightly into his shirt, her eyes closed tightly but still the hot tears worked their way out from between them to spill over onto his neck. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:00:15 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "It's okay, sweetheart... We'll work later.." He assured her gently - he hated seeing her like this. It made him all mushy and doting - soft and tender. A hand played lovingly over her back, voice low, attempting to sooth her. "Just shh..." (NT) -- Colin, 10:02:10 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• The more she thought about his problem, the harder she cried - she couldn't stand the thought of him doing this to himself. It was a long time later before she had cried herself out, just laying listless on his chest, her fingers still tight on his shirt as her breathing started to level out. (NT) -- Bailey, 10:07:57 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He held her tightly the whole time, his chin resting on top of her head and his eyes lightly shut, his own fingers twisted into her shirt at her back, thumbs absently stroking. When she finally quieted, he sighed in soft relief, voice low and soft. "Okay?" Obviously she wasn't okay, but he didn't know what else to say... (NT) -- Colin, 10:27:09 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She nodded a bit, shifting a little as she wiped at her eyes. "Yeah, yeah I am fine..." She cleared her throat, running her hand down her face. "I'm sorry, I don't know whats wrong with me..I never, ever do that...." She cleared her throat, blinking her now gritty eyes. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:29:05 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Hey.. It's okay..." He murmured gently, a hand moving to gently push hers away so he could wipe beneath her eyes - brows quietly furrowed, gaze tender. "Don't worry about it..." He didn't mind at all - she was human, the best of them broke down at times. (NT) -- Colin, 10:36:29 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She sighed softly - her brow furrowed gently as she swallowed gently, closing her eyes at his touch for a moment before she let out a low breath - her eyes moving back to him. "We should get back to work...we've been procrastinating forever." She murmured - clearing her throat. She hated being such a baby, she despised herself when she cried. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:41:02 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Okay..." He agreed softly and dipped his head to kiss her for a long moment - so sweet and loving, just gentle. His eyes slid lightly shut and he pulled her tighter into his arms until the kiss broke. (NT) -- colin, 10:43:05 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She sighed softly into the kiss, stiff at first but slowly relaxing and evantually bringing her hand to rest lightly on the curve of his neck, her eyes shut lightly even as they broke the kiss. "Thanks..." She murmured softly, her thumb gently stroking over the soft skin of his throat. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:44:58 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Anytime..." His own eyes opened slowly and played quietly over her features for a long moment before he spoke again. "Okay, you're alright?" He wasn't pushing her at all - he would have lied there with her all day if that was what she needed. (NT) -- Colin, 10:48:27 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She nodded lightly, her hand gently moving up to cup his cheek softly, her thumb caressing his cheek for a moment. "I'm alright...I'll even be your little intelligance agent." She smirked lightly, tilting her head. "Just cuz your so damn cute though, but keep in mind, if you keep losing weight, you won't be cute anymore and then I won't listen to you every again." She sighed softly, a small smile finally gracing her lips. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:51:38 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• A small smile formed on his lips as he nodded a touch and turned his face to kiss her fingertips. 'The words' nearly slipped from his lips at that moment but he stopped himself and clearly his throat quietly - surprised at himself. "You're the best." (NT) -- Colin, 10:54:49 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled softly, tilting her head and rolling her eyes. "I know. I am also hungry." She smiled, standing up and offering him her hand. "Decide what you want me to do while I make food. Do you want any?" (NT) -- Lexi, 10:57:45 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He stood slowly after her and gave her fingers a gentle squeeze, a small smile playing over his lips. "Sure..." He wasn't that hungry, but he knew it would make her happy so he agreed, free fingers pushing quietly through her hair. (NT) -- Colin, 11:00:21 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled fully at that, pulling him as she squeezed his finger gently. "I like having you around..." She murmured softly, brushing her fingers down his cheek for a soft moment before she turned. "Just Mac and Cheese good for you?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:04:17 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Perfect..." He let her go reluctantly and stood their a few long moments before running a hand over his head and then trailing after her - he could be doing some work... But he just wanted to be around her so much. (NT) -- Colin, 11:10:15 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She couldn't help but smile as he followed her into the kitchen, glancing over her shoulder. "So..." She cleared her throat softly. "My mom wants me to go over there for dinner sometime this week, she was thinking maybe you could come with me." She dumped the macaroni into the boiling water before she turned to look at him. "You don't have to of course, but I just wanted to be able to say that I brought it up - I could tell her that you had to work or something." (NT) -- Lexi, 11:18:43 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "No, it's okay..." He smiled slightly and shifted to sit on the kitchen table as he just watched her 'cook' - surprisingly the idea of going to dinner with her family didn't sound like such a bad idea. "I'll go... If you want me to, that is of course.." (NT) -- Colin, 11:20:35 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• "Really?" She questioned lightly, a bright grin on her face at that. "You really wouldn't mind going?" She tilted her head, cocking a brow. "Not just to meet my daddy?" She'd had more then male agent see if maybe he could come home and meet the famous Shaun McLean. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:23:04 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He laughed softly and nodded a touch, absently swinging his legs, hands resting on his knees. "Yeah, I would like to... And not just to meet your daddy..." He smirked a little and winked, watching her quietly. (NT) -- Colikn, 11:26:13 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled, moving to him then - sliding her hands up his legs before she leaned up to press a kiss to his lips. "Thanks..." It really meant a lot to her, though she didn't say it, it was obvious in the pleased expression on her face. Her face - which had been red from crying - now calm and eyes turning from the red agitated state they had been in - back to a pale green color. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:29:38 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He smiled softly, hands moving to play over her hips as he tugged her gently closer. "Not a problem..." Really, there was little that he wouldn't do for her - he was so obviously infatuated. (NT) -- Colin, 11:32:48 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• Her hands moved to either side of his cheeks to pull him in for another kiss before she winked and moved from his embrace to stir in the rest of the stuff and then put it in bowls. "Here ya go, sweetheart." She grinned a bit, before she headed into the living room. "Being lazy or working?" She questioned, cocking a brow to him. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:36:29 08/13/04 Fri

  ---

• He took a bite before trailing after her, a small smirk forming on his lips. "Working... Can't you tell?" He winked playfully and settled into the couch to eat - his appetite lacking but he didn't want her to worry about him. (NT) -- Colin, 11:38:31 08/13/04 Fri
