• He was stretched out on his bed in his hotel room - head hanging down over the edge, dark gaze on the upside-down muted television while he allowed a friend to chat at him over his cell phone, when the 'call waiting' beep sounded. Cutting into the conversation with a 'hold on', he switched lines and answered - voice low but smooth, one that easily put butterflies into the stomachs of many women. "Yeah?" (NT) -- Colin, 09:42:21 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• It kind of made her nausaus actually. "Colin?" She moaned softly, her brow furrowed. "I think I am dying..." She let out a soft breath, it hurt to even move her head a bit. She just hoped nothing had happened, she remembered him being there before the night got fuzzy. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:46:03 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "You think? Or you know? 'Cause if you know, then I'll call 911. If you just think... Well then you're probably not. Hang on." He murmured - completely laid-back, though it was mostly artificial - and then switched lines before she responded, to say goodbye to his chatty buddy. "Alright. So. Think? Or know?" His eyes played slowly over the ceiling - admiring the tilework for a few moments, and then feeling like a loser for doing so... (NT) -- Colin, 09:49:19 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "I don't know...I've never almost died before so I don't know the warning signs, tell me them and I will let you know." She groaned again as she rolled over onto her stomache with an 'oof'. "This is all your fault, if I remember anything correctly...you kept giving me the drinks. Damn you." (NT) -- Lexi, 09:53:13 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Come to think of it, all the times I've almost died, I was too busy almost dying to remember what it feels like. Can't help you there." His brows furrowed a touch in mock thought as he spoke, then relaxed as he teased gently.. "Yeah, I held your mouth open and poured them down your throat. Then you begged me to take you to bed, and man, did we ever have some crazy sex." No... Wait... Maybe that was just a dream. Either way, he was just playing. (NT) -- Colin, 09:55:48 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Damn, couldn't have been that crazy, I don't remember it at all." She laid back against the pillows. "You musta turned into a little minute man." She was teasing too, her eyes also on the ceiling. "Half of my alcohol stash is in the garbage I think...and..." She paused sniffing. "My room smells like cigarette smoke." (NT) -- Lexi, 09:57:48 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "I could come over, give you a little refresher... You'd remember pretty damn quickly." He laughed finally though and then cleared his throat, sitting up slowly as his head began to throb from all the blood pooling. Eyes sliding shut as the room span - damn head rushes - he ran his free fingers over his soft, very short hair. "Yeah, you were smoking in there last night. I tried to tell you not to, but you just wouldn't listen." (NT) -- Colin, 10:00:21 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah, I'd remember and a second later you'd have to remind me again cuz the first time would be over." She teased lightly, sighing as she laid back. "Now I know your lying, your the one who smokes in bed after sex." She grinned lightly before she sighed. "Ok, your probably going to be called by sullivan soon..." She sighed. "He wants us to bond." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:04:34 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Hey, you better watch your mouth, or else I'm actually going to have to come over and prove myself to you." Not that he would mind... Those curves... She had the nicest... The mention of Sullivan set his mind back on track and he rolled his eyes even though she couldn't see him. "Whatever. We are bonding. He calls me, I'll tell him all about the crazy sex. How's that for god-damned bonding? Asshole." (NT) -- Colin, 10:06:48 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She couldn't help but laugh at that, though then she groaned, the action hurt. "We could bond by your bringing me drugs after he calls...." She let out a soft breath, she could hardly believe that she was actually inviting him back over but she had this strange desire to be around him. He made her smile the night before and she wanted to smile with him again. "You should probably leave out the crazy sex part when you talk to Sullivan, you know all the trouble Niko and Skye got into..." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:16:16 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Hangovers suck. They make you so lame. You can't do anything. I could bring you drugs now. He'll call my cell." His sentances were almost somewhat disjointed, though his tone was relaxed - this was his ideal state of mind. He took everything as it came, didn't worry much, was completely at ease. Life would be great if only he felt like this all of the time. (NT) -- Colin, 10:21:23 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Are you calling me lame?" She questioned quietly, her lower lip jutting out lightly. "I want legal drugs, but strong ones." She decided she needed to clarify before she yawned. "I'll get in the shower before you get here..." Her voice was low and quiet, still slightly rough thanks to just waking up. "Do you mind? Are you busy?" (NT) -- Lexi, 10:23:14 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Of course they'll be legal." He grumbled at her, though half-heartedly - he really wouldn't dream of getting her into anything, though they had gotten into their fair share of trouble in college. "I don't mind at all. I'm lying here watching TV, but it's muted because I was on the phone, so I'm not really even watching it." He had no problems admitting he wasn't up to anything - what was there to get up to around here? (NT) -- Colin, 10:26:47 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Ok..." She yawned softly. "I am going to try and crawl out of bed and into the shower, you can just let yourself in." She rubbed her eyes lightly, yawning softly again. "Strong drugs." She reminded him again before she smiled a bit. "See you soon, Colin." There it was again, that way she caressed his name as she said it - she didn't even realize she did it. (NT) -- exi, 10:28:50 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "If you waited, I'd help you into the shower..." He teased again, always insinuating, almost offering in the jokes. A low breath slipped from his lips when she said his name - it always did something to him, and he wasn't sure how or why - as he pulled on his jeans, the phone tucked between his ear and his shoulder. "See you soon..." (NT) -- Colin, 10:32:11 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She grinned lightly. "Later." She hung up before she finaly moved off the bed and made her way into the kitchen to get a drink of orange juice before she disappeared into the bathroom to get into the kitchen.... (NT) -- Lexi, 10:35:24 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• True to his word, he was there not much later, letting himself into her apartment and making a mental note to give her a good lecture about locking her door. Hearing the shower running, he stepped out of his flip-flops on his way into the bathroom - the door was open so he just pushed inside. Colin Black saw no boundaries. "Drugs. Orange juice. You made it to the shower without my help." He set the pill container and the box of juice on the bathroom counter - speaking over the sound of the water, eyes on the curtain for a moment before he looked to the steamed up mirror.. (NT) -- Colin, 10:39:09 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• If her head didn't hurt so bad she would have given him a lecture about privacy, but instead she was excited to just have the drugs, even if she had to get them naked. Her head popped out of the shower curtain, hair damp and lathered up, drops of soap on the shoulder that was visible. She shifted so she could stick out a hand without showing to much. "Give." She smiled at him, happy that she was going to be out of pain soon - hopefully. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:42:18 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• His eyes travelled - almost reluctantly - from her fingertips slowly up her arm to her shoulder, and then over the shower curtain, imagining the flesh hidden behind. A low breath slipped from his slightly parted lips and he ran a hand over his head, blood warming a fraction - her request unnoticed. He was too distracted. (NT) -- Colin, 10:44:32 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She let out a low breath, her gaze meeting his slowly. "Colin..?" She questioned softly, her head tilted, her green eyes dark and stormy at the look in his. "Drugs?" She questioned quietly again, smiling gently at him. It was strange, she was appreciating his look and the way his eyes moved over her behind the shower curtain. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:47:05 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He cleared his throat and forced his darkened gaze back to her face - all that time, far too much over the past day, that he had intended on spending on recalling all their fights had instead been used to replay what she felt and tasted like. "Hm?" He wasn't big on subtle and he let his mind wander far too easily - he knew it, but couldn't help it. (NT) -- Colin, 10:50:20 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Her warm, slightly damp hand reached over to pat his cheek. "The pills, please." She winked lightly. "Open the orange juice too." She couldn't take pills dry like he could, he used to tease her about it. "What did you bring me?" She kept the curtain close, but it wasn't enough to hide the slight swell of the top of her chest, and the shadowed silloutte behind the curtain showed off even more of her shapely curved form. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:53:02 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Oh..." He exhaled the word and shook himself from his daydreaming, eyes drifting over her once again before he shifted back to grab her hangover remedy. "It'll help." Handing over the tablets and then the OJ, he ran his hand over his head and stepped slowly back towards the door. "I should go - out there... So you can finish..." His hands ached to touch her, his lips to taste her - and the memories of steamy showers together that he was entertaining weren't helping at all. Atleast he could excuse this for the strictly physical attraction.. (NT) -- Colin, 10:57:38 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She nodded, popping the pills into her mouth and taking a long drink out of the cartoon before she handed it back to him. "Alright...I won't be long." She smiled softly, watching him for a moment before she spoke. "Oh and Colin?" She questioned once he had his back turned - waiting till he looked back - she smiled softly, biting her lip for a brief moment before she spoke again. "Thanks." With that she disappeared back behind the curtain, hands lifting to her hair to massage it gently into a lather again. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:00:26 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Carton in hand, he paused in the doorway to smile briefly at her, voice lowering a touch. "Anytime." Even after she had disappeared again, his eyes played over the curtain for a long moment before he pushed out of the bathroom. He needed a drink and a smoke pretty bad, but didn't feel like going outside and so settled for a beer on the couch - respecting her 'no smoking inside' rule. For now.. (NT) -- Colin, 11:03:00 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She enjoyed her time in the shower and in that time Sullivan called instructing Colin he wanted him completely in tune with his partner by the time Friday came around so that they could impress some big name that was going to be around. After some more instructions and letting him know that they would be on assignment soon he let him go - as much as he disliked Lexi and as much as Colin drove him crazy they were two of the best and he knew they impress this guy. Lexi came out of the bathroom in a towel, looking over at him. "Sullivan?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:08:57 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He was stretched out on the couch with one arm draped over his eyes - tee abandonned on the chair nearby to leave him in just his 'beater, giving a good display of the impressively toned muscles of his arm - having ignored most of what Sullivan had to say, but done a good job of sounded like he was paying attention. At her entrance, he pushed his arm back to his forehead to look at her - smirking briefly. "Yeah. Such a charmer." (NT) -- colin, 11:23:53 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She took a step into the living room and then paused sharply, taking the step back as she realized what she had been about to do. "Yeah, he's a winner alright." It had seemed so natural to go over and sit on the couch, the curve of his body, maybe trail her nails down that muscular arm....She shook her head, trying to block away the thoughts that sent a warm heat throughout her bare form. "What did he have to say?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:28:29 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "We have to be 'in tune' by Friday, and should be on assignment pretty soon." His darkened gaze lingered just below her neck for a long moment before slipping down to her legs, a low breath smothered between his lips before he spoke again - though his thoughts strayed to how soft her silky, fair skin would feel beneath his fingers, and the surprised hidden beneath that flimsy towel. "Hey - look." He dropped his arm that was resting over his forehead to cross over his chest, free fingers moving to his shoulder to point of the scars there - he was pretty proud of this one. Not only was a bullet hole clear, so could you also see clearly where surgery was performed to repair the damages. Three operations and six months of rehab, two years ago. (NT) -- Colin, 11:34:01 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She came over then, her brow furrowed lightly, her fingers gently dancing over the scar before she looked to him - sexual thoughts pushed aside. "What happened there?" She tilted her to look down at him, her pretty brow furrowed. She was still warm and glistening from the shower, the soft scent of her soap and shampoo setting off a nice effect along with her damp hair curling around her jaw. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:36:30 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Her that close - the scent, the sight, her light touch - he couldn't help it as his arm straightened out to between her legs, fingers playing along the back of one of her knees absently. "It was a stupid mistake. Atleast the others were worthy. I just wasn't thinking straight - fell for a misdirection. Luckily he was a shitty shot and hit my shoulder - not my chest or my noggin, where he was likely aiming." (NT) -- Colin, 11:40:25 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She frowned softly, her hand drifting over his shoulder before she brought her gaze to him - a mix of emotion in the green depths. "You know, I think this the first time I haven't been counting down the minutes till I got assigned." She smirked lightly, playing off the fact that her breath caught and her pulse jumped beneath his touch. "You seem to be a bullet magnet and I don't feel like jumping in front of any." She smirked, shaking her head slowly. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:43:37 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Laughing softly at first, his fingers then tightened around the back of her leg as he eyed her, suddenly serious. "You ever jump infront of a bullet for me, Bailey Alexis McLean, and I will kill you. No joke." She was right - he was a bit of a bullet magnet, and it wasn't like he wasn't great at what he did, it just seemed to happen like that. (NT) -- COlin, 11:46:14 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She rolled her eyes but then shook her head. Letting out a soft breath she looked back to him, not able to help running a hand over his buzzed head - it was different then how he usually had it. "I am not going to watch another partner die in front of me Colin, especially not you." With that she stood, adjusting the towel around her. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:49:10 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• His eyes slid shut for a brief moment - he loved her hand over his head - before opening in time to longingly watch her adjust the towel. "I've got five more changes, Bai Bai, remember? So wait till number nine before you considered jumping infront of anything." One eyelid dropped in a wink - tone just lightly teasing. (NT) -- Colin, 11:51:20 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Bottom lip slipped between her teeth as the familiar name slipped through his lips, pausing a moment before she spoke. "Your not a cat and your not invincible" She shook her head with a growl, her brow furrowed - remembering now why she had been so against having a partner. "I am going to go work out, want to come?" (NT) -- Lexi, 11:54:06 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Only if you promise to wear only that..." He winked and gestured to her towel with a small smirk, tugging gently on the bottom edged before linking his fingers over his toned stomach. "Head feeling better then?" The more he thought about it, the more trouble he had believing he was actually there, and so was she, and they were having a decent conversation. (NT) -- Colin, 11:57:09 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "A little bit, exercise usually helps." Her hand jumped up to pull up the towel as his tugging brought it down a little farther then acceptable. "You coming or not? I'll feed you afterwards." She figured they did need to get as usual to each other as possible and she was trying to figure out the best and most painless ways to do that. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:59:05 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Where we going?" He questioned, shifting slowly to sit up finally, hands moving over his head then stretching out along of the back of the couch as he watched her with a small smirk, one brows raising slowly. "And what are you going to feed me? Are you cooking?" (NT) -- Solin, 12:03:16 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "I can cook, damnit." She smirked lightly, tilting her head. "The gym...it's on the apartment grounds, a good forty minute workout will do you good, bet I could show you a thing or two." She grinned lightly, turning to head into the bedroom, the towel coming up high on the back of her thighs. "Do you happen to have any more comfortable clothes in your car or anything?" (NT) -- Lexi, 12:07:10 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He sighed at her, but shifted slowly to stand - dying to go after her, pull away that aggravating towel... Instead, he dug out his keys. "Yeah.. I'll go grab something to change into." A brow raised a moment later and he tipped his chin back a touch. "It'll do me good? Got a problem with how I look?" (NT) -- Colin, 12:10:29 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "No but your lazy." She grinned over her shoulder before she disappeared into the room, coming back out a few moments later with her hair in a high ponytail - her usual look - and wearing a pair of work out shorts and a sports bra like top. She had an impressive figure, she was well toned but not bulky though it was obvious she had strength within in her in more ways then one. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:12:31 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• His eyes couldn't help roaming and he kicked himself immediately - he had to stop looking at her like this. "Am not..." He nearly had to choke out the words, gaze dropping to his keys absently as he turned them over in his fingers. (NT) -- Colin, 12:16:03 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• She smiled at him, not noticing the choked tone to his words. "We can just walk there." She slipped on her tennis shoes. looking up at him after that. "Think you can keep up?" She teased lightly, her head tilting to the side as she looked up at him. She didn't have to look up to far, at 5'10" she was pretty close to his height. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:22:50 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Gotta get my clothes." He explained, "I seem to remember you gasping and whining your way through a few of my runs back in the back, Bailey." He teased with a grin, and tuggd gently at a strand of her hair, (NT) -- Colin, 12:26:43 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Well go then, slowpoke." She smirked, sticking her tongue out at him teasingly as she went into the kitchen to get two bottles of water and make sure the place was locked up. (NT) -- Lexi, 12:28:12 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Slavedriver." He swatted at her backside before letting himself out to go to his car to grab some workout clothes. He let himself back in, stripped off his 'beater and tossed it at her on his way into the bathroom to change quickly. Emerging changed, he dropped his jeans on a chair before looking to her finally. "All set?" (NT) -- Colin, 12:33:12 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Yep...lets go." She smiled, tossing his beater by his jeans before she led the way down the stairs and to the gym.... (NT) -- Lexi, 12:34:59 08/06/04 Fri

  ---

• It was some time later that he followed her back in, pulling off his tee and tossing it on the chair on his way into the kitchen for a bottle of water, calling back to her. "Want anything? It had gone surprisingly well - both encouraging each other and handing out tips and guidance at the same time, very little bickering, and it gave him a chance to work off some of this excess energy... His muscles were feeling that wonderful after-exercise burn and he was contently worn out. (NT) -- Colin, 02:01:36 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Another water would be great." She called out, heading into the bathroom to wash up some and change into a pair of lounge pants and a tank top. "So, think I kept up pretty well?" She questioned when she came back in, shaking her hair down from her pony tail again. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:07:47 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He tossed her the bottle when she joined him - eyes dropping to make a quick inspection of her latest outfit before meeting her gaze - and then shifted to lean back against the counter. One hand rested on the edge behind him and the other held his own water down at his side - the muscles of his bare torso warm and perfectly defined. "Yeah, you did alright, I guess. For the first time and all." He teased with a serious face, though one eyelid dropped into a wink and a small smirk turned up on corner of his lips. (NT) -- Colin, 02:12:50 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "I could definately keep up with you and you know it." She suddenly remembered that she had promised him food. "What do you want to eat?" She questioned, her brow furrowed a bit as she moved past him, her eyes travelling over his chest for a second before she focused on the cupboards. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:22:15 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Yeah, I know..." He admitted - a rarely generous thing for him to say - before his attention was focussed on food. Really, he was unlike a lot of males in that he didn't really eat very much - small meals a couple times during the day usually did it for him - but he was hungry now, and he set his bottle on the counter behind him before moving his hand to rest on his grumbling stomach. "Anything would be great.. I'm kinda feeling like pasta..." (NT) -- Colin, 02:24:40 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Yeah? I can do that." She went over to the cabinet, getting out some noodles and things needed for the sauce. "There's some chicken breast defrosting in the fridge, could you get it out for me?" She questioned, going about getting the water on to boil and all that. (NT) -- Lexi, 02:29:05 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He obliged willingly - he could cook alright, but was always happier to assist and let someone else do the work. It was too much for him - so much effort just to fill his stomach. Digging out the chicken, he then dropped it onto the counter for her, and ran a light hand over his buzzed head. "Hey - do you mind if I grab a quick shower?" (NT) -- Colin, 02:50:07 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "No, go ahead." She smiled lightly at him. "It's next to my room." She shifted to stir the sauce. "It should be done before to long, so take your time." She smiled gently, watching him go - drawing in a sharp breath as she looked over him. She had always loved his back, the way the muscles rippled perfectly... (NT) -- Lexi, 02:53:11 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Thanks.." He smiled briefly - seemed the only smile he really entertained was a brief one - and then headed off, first grabbing his jeans and 'beater from the living room before disappearing into the bathroon. He didn't take too long - just a quick, cool shower to refresh him and do away with the feel of perspiration - and was soon re-joining her in the kitchen, pulling his 'beater over his head as he stepped through the doorway. "Smells good." (NT) -- Colin, 02:55:59 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She got down two plates and then went to go get them both drinks before she took it all to the table in the sunroom so they were surrounded by the light of the sun that was begining its downward decline into the horizon. "Thanks, told you I had worked on my cooking a bit." She grinned lightly before she settled at the table. "So, I was thinking of going out tonight, isn't that shocking?" She wasn't really the one to dress up or go out unless she was on assignment, under cover, or she was going out on a date or with her family. On her own was unusual. Like even now, she chose to be in pajama type clothes instead of putting on jeans... (NT) -- Lexi, 03:01:36 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "A lot, hopefully.." He teased with a small smirk as he settled into one seat and raising his drink to his lips first. "Really?" A brow cocked in slight interest as he dug into the plate. He was sort of the same as her - he didn't mind being around people, but the whole danceclub scene really wasn't for him. He could handle sports bars and strip clubs, but he didn't dance. (NT) -- Colin, 03:04:50 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Mhmm.....thinking of going out with Tay for some wings or something." Her brother had always liked Colin, ever since they had first met. "He'll be excited to see you back around. " Tay and Colin had a good relationship because they had both been into some of the shadier things in life - though Tay was way more deeper into it now - and keeping Bailey safe and happy was a high priority of both of theirs. Though, now, so much had changed.... (NT) -- Lexi, 03:09:31 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He nodded slowly, popping a forkful into his mouth before responding - mouth half full as he spoke. Sometimes, especially without a woman in his life, he lacked in the manners department. "Sounds fun... Tell him to give me a call sometime." He had always liked her brother too - they just got along well... Or had, back in the day. (NT) -- Colin, 03:12:03 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She nodded a bit, tilting her head to the side and speaking after she swallowed. "He's engaged, maybe his fiancee has a nice girl she could hook you up with to teach you some manners." She smirked, cocking a brow towards him before she took another bite. (NT) -- Lexi, 03:18:38 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Engaged? Wow." Was his only comment, a brow cocked. He was sure that Taylor's fiancée was someone pretty special, but he didn't need anyone else to pick up girls for him. Besides, there was nothing wrong with his manners - they just lacked at times. "Food's great, Bai." (NT) -- Colin, 03:28:15 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Thanks...." She smiled lightly, letting out a soft breath as she finished off her food and then stood to clean off the table. "Well, do you want to work out together again tomorrow?" She questioned lightly, her head tilted to the side as she looked back to him with a light smile. (NT) -- Lexi, 03:39:21 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Sure.. You can come with me on my run in the morning if you want..." She used to run with him once in a while back in college - when they weren't fighting - so she knew the intensity of his long, cross-country fast-paced runs. They were 'bonding' - he figured Sullivan would be pleased, and right now he needed to do whatever he could to please Sullivan. (NT) -- Colin, 03:45:09 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Sure thing." She smiled lightly, tilting her head to the side. "You'll have to come and make sure I get up though, you know I am bad about that." (NT) -- Lexi, 03:53:58 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He had finished up his plate and was leaning back in his chair, arms crossing over his chest as his gaze shifted slowly to her, a slight smirk forming. "Right.. I'll go later tomorrow, for your sake. Seven sound okay?" (NT) -- Colin, 03:56:33 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• Her mouth dropped open before she wandered over, reaching over his shoulder, brushing against his back lightly as she took his plate. "Thats late!?" She questioned in shock, shaking her head. "Thats seriously early morning." (NT) -- Lexi, 04:02:21 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• It occured to him that she didn't really know much about his new sleep - or lack of - pattern, seeing as he picked it up out of school. At her warm body lightly brushing his back - skin always sensitive, especially to her, and given the fact that he wasn't even wearing a real shirt - he leaned forward just a touch to resist the urge.. "Right.. Yeah. That's late. Eight sound better?" (NT) -- Colin, 04:06:52 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She shook her head, taking his plate into the dishwasher before she shook her head. "No, no, we'll go at seven, I can handle it." She grinned, closing the door. "I am going to get ready to head out...you can chill here if you want, I can understand not wanting to be stuck in a hotel room all the time and Milo - " referring to the little urge kitten. "...could keep you company." (NT) -- Lexi, 04:11:20 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He smirked a touch and stood slowly, eyes following her for a long moment. "I'll come get you up at 7... We'll go when you're ready.." He shook his head slightly and ran a hand over his head absently - he didn't really even notice he did it. "It's alright... I'll leave when you do." (NT) -- Colin, 04:14:12 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She nodded a bit, heading into the living room. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable...I'll just take a minute." She headed into the bathroom - the shower soon heard running. Her thoughts were running to racy memories again and she needed to cool down a bit. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:18:53 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• So were his, especially as he watched her go, and then heard the shower - and his thoughts shifted to earlier in the day, her shower then and him visiting for a few minutes... The flesh hidden from him, but the hint of her curves behind the curtain. Sighing softly, he slouched into the couch and ran a hand down his face before flipping on the television uninterestedly.. (NT) -- Colin, 04:21:52 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• The water shut off before long and she headed into her room to tug on a pair of tight black pants that hung low on her hips, a silver chain belt hanging down her side, and a black satin material shirt that had ribbons that tied over her shoulders instead of having sleeves. Her make up was done lightly, but enough to create a good effect and her wavy hair just fell down her back. After grabbing her purse she headed out, smiling at him as she flopped down onto the opposite side of the couch. "Whatcha watching?" A thin line of midriff was revealed, showing the end of the silver navel ring. (NT) -- Lexi, 04:25:02 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Uh, Simpsons.." He glanced only briefly to her back didn't take a long look - he knew she looked good, and there was no reason for him to torture himself. He just wouldn't look. "Ready to go?" A brow raised slowly as he turned down the television volume, gaze lingering on the old cartoon rerun. (NT) -- Coli, 07:26:48 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "In a little bit..." At that moment her phone rang. "Hang on a second." She stood, heading over to answer the phone and having a short conversation. A moment later she came back into the living room, her hand moving out of habit to ruffle his hair. "Tay says if you want some free drinks you should meet up with us sometime tonight." (NT) -- Lexi, 07:36:31 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• After her hand left his head, his own fingers moved to play over the short fuzz, gaze raising to follow her - tone genuinely interested. "Do you like it?" Surprisingly, there was a part of him that was almost self-conscious, he just came off as extremely confident all the time... "Maybe I will.. Go home and change, meet up with you guys later.." (NT) -- Colin, 07:40:11 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She glanced over at him at his question - of course she liked it, he could shave off all his hair and still be breath takingly gorgeous. "It's different for you but yeah, I like it." She had spent a lot of time laying in bed next to him, his head resting on her chest, playing her fingers through his longer hair....this short hair was a change and didn't immediatly trigger the desire to do that as his old hair had. "Tay would like to see you." She smiled lightly, tilting her head. "Going to the same old place.." Them, and whoever Tay was with that weekened, used to always hang out at a certain bar. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:43:27 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "It'll grow back.." He commented absently before crossing his arms over his chest and nodding a touch, his smirk slowly returning. "Drinks are on him?" His tone was teasing though - if drinks were on Tay tonight, they'd be on Colin the next night. Everything worked out, he wasn't really concerned. "Yeah, maybe I'll come by. Just you and him? His woman gonna be there?" (NT) -- Colin, 07:46:43 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "I am not really sure, she may drop by." She shrugged a bit. "I would like to meet her though, see if she's worthy of my twin brother." She winked gently, tilting her head to the side as she gazed at him. "You don't like your hair short? Oh, and yeah, drinks are on Tay." She grinned gently, running her fingers through her Raven hair. (NT) -- Lexi, 07:50:43 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Yeah, I want to meet her too..." He nodded slightly in agreement - he just wanted to be sure the girl was worthy, but he really did know that she must be something special if Tay intended to marry her. "I like it, I guess..." He did - really, it didn't make such a difference. He'd keep it short for a while, maybe buzz a mohawk for a week or two just to get Sullivan riled up... (NT) -- Colin, 08:11:34 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Well, you should swing by then." She smiled lightly, her hand playing over her bare stomache as she swung her purse over her shoulder, looking down at him. "Promise I won't be a mopey drunk tonight." She grinned, winking teasingly. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:15:03 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "You only have two types of 'drunk', Bailey. Mopey, and fun drunk - but the type of fun we used to enjoy, not the type of fun you'd want to enjoy with.. Your brother." He reminded her playfully before standing slowly - gathering up his clothes before digging out his car keys. "So maybe you better just avoid drunk." (NT) -- Colin, 08:19:09 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "I am sure there will be other men there besides my brother." She stated smugly, shaking her head. "Come on, I'll walk with you downstairs." She locked up the apartment, gave the cat food and then headed downstairs. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:22:31 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• "Right..." He rolled his eyes a touch and allowed the comment to roll off his back - he had no reason to feel jealous. Walking with her - about half a step behind as he usually did for some unknown reason - he shoved his hands into his pockets. "So I'll probably see you kids later." (NT) -- Colin, 08:26:54 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She nodded, stopping at the Mercedes that had been a gift from Tay - her and Skylar had matching one's except her's was red and Skye's was black. "Yep." She smiled a bit, pausing as her eyes lingered over him for a long moment. "Bye, Colin." There it was again...that name on her lips... (NT) -- Lexi, 08:32:31 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He almost dreaded her speaking his name, because every time she did - it did something to him. Half-turned away from her, his own gaze lingered over her slowly - finally allowing himself to take in her outfit... "See you in a bit... I'll call if I can't make it." (NT) -- Colin, 08:41:36 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• She smiled again before she slid into her car, opening up the sunroof and letting the beats of some Maroon five drift out over the parking lot as she threw the car into reverse and then sped off - she was always a 'fun' driver as she liked to put it. (NT) -- Lexi, 08:46:11 08/07/04 Sat

  ---

• He watched her go before sliding into his own car, his baby - a vintage '68 Olds 442 that had been completely restored - and heading out at a more subdued pace, just allowing his mind to wander and enjoying the warm evening... (NT) -- Colin, 08:49:48 08/07/04 Sat
