• Like we never loved at all... -- Shay, 13:26:28 01/14/06 Sat
  • (He had done a pretty decent job of keeping his eyes off of her through the entire speech, though it pissed him off to see her dressed like she was and want her after he had basically just assaulted her. He spent the remainder of her speech throwing glares at any man who looked at her, all but oozing anger from his skin. He was deeply pleased that she went out the door by Kyrian, since he was in no mood to talk to her or even to be near her.) (He knew for a fact that Remy was pissed about her by just watching him and he suddenly found himself wanting to figure out what was going on. He trailed her outside and walked over to stand in front of her, arms crossed over his chest and hazel eyes soft on her.) What did he do? (He asked, knowing that Jeremy McLean's anger was a force to be reckoned with.) (NT) -- Remy/Kyrian, 13:34:33 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She startled as he came up beside her, dropping her cigarette to the ground as she jumped. "Damn it.." She swore under her breath, stepping on that one to put it out before she lit up another one, her green eyes filled with tears that she refused to let fall. "None of your damn business." She stated with a thick voice, tipping her head back to rest against the wall once again, biting her lip heavily as she worked on keeping the tears at bay. She had never thought Remy would be like that with her, never thought that any affection would be gone between them but at this moment she didn't even think she could handle seeing him. She squeezed her eyes shut, the cigarette shaking in her hand. (NT) -- Shay, 13:41:18 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He watched her jump and his eyes narrowed, wondering what had happened to make the spitfire so nervous.. it made him want to go find Remy and pound him until he knew what was going on. Tilting his head a little he reached out and took the cigarette out of her hand.) You're going to burn yourself. (He said in a calm voice, watching those beautiful eyes fill with tears broke his heart. He knew that if she wanted to talk she would, and figured perhaps she needed some time to deal with what was happening within her, so he leaned against the wall next to her and eyed the cigarette in his hand, shrugging a little and taking a long drag from it, closing his eyes and sighing in pure pleasure.. he had quit for a whole six hours that time.. it was a record.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 13:50:37 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She sniffled lightly, looking at him out of the corner of her eye a little suspiciously. She wasn't so sure why he was being so nice, he had been an arrogant ass before when she had met him. She swallowed heavily, brushing the back of her fingers over her eyes before she took the cigarette back and took a long hit off of it, handing it back to him to share. "He's so different then the boy I loved..." She murmured softly, her voice pained as she thought that over. "...the Remy I knew would never try to hurt me like this..." She shook her head, laughing, the sound bitter coming from her lips at the moment. "I now can say this is the day I officially became an adult. Let go of all those stupid childhood dreams and beliefs..." She shook her head, tipping her head back again. "Kinda sucks...kinda miss being hopeful and childlike already." (NT) -- Shay, 13:55:10 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He found himself suddenly feeling very protective of the woman next to him and wanted to give her back her childlike hope and dreams, hating Remy for taking them from her.) God.. what did he do? (He asked gently, turning towards her to lean his shoulder against the wall and regarding her through thoughtful eyes. He had four sisters, he knew that his feelings were now very brotherly towards her and almost smiled as he thought of how miffed he had been that moring at her ability to reject his advances.. now it seemed pigheaded of him to do that to her.) He didn't.. (He narrowed his eyes, not quite able to say the word, hoping against hope that the dangerous side of Remy hadn't been fully exposed to her.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 13:59:00 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She shrugged a little, swallowing as she bit her lip and let out a soft breath. "I don't know..not really...I guess, I mean I invited him into my bed..." She shrugged a little, her eyes dropping. "I gave into him...even when he pissed me off. I just..I can't say no..." She bit her lip, shrugging her shoulders as she let out a soft breath. "He'd probably get pissed at me telling you this..." She murmured, her brow furrowed. Remy was her weakness, the one who threw her off her tight reined control on life. She looked up at Kyrian, biting her lip a second before she spoke. "Do you have a car here?" She needed to get out of the convention without having tons of photographers taking pictures of her tear stained face and she definately needed a non-descript car to get her to the clinic so it wouldn't draw attention to her... (NT) -- Shay, 14:03:32 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He narrowed his gaze a bit and frowned as he thought about that, wondering how if she had invited him into her bed she had this hollow look in her eyes. He ran a hand back through his hair and nodded.) Yeah, I have a car. (He took another drag from the cigarette as he looked at her, trying to think.) When he gets like that.. (He nodded towards the convention hall, to where Remy would be pacing along the far wall and fuming.) ..if you don't fight back against him he'll let himself surrender to his thoughts. Do you know about him? (He asked, knowing that if she did know she would understand the question. Perching the cigarette on his lower lip, he reached into his pocket and nodded when he found his keys, glad he hadn't left them in the room.) C'mon, we'll talk. (He nodded towards the front door, and led the way out to his car, a 1969 Mustang Mach I.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:08:42 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She sighed deeply as they walked into the building and down the hall, keeping her head ducked until they were in his car. "I was there when he found out, held his hand the whole time and assured him he wasn't a freak..." She shook her head, biting her lip as she shifted in the skirt. "Fuck, I hate wearing skirts." She mumbled, all she wanted was to draw her knee's up to her chest and close her eyes and now she had to sit there like a proper little lady. "I remember being like six and sneaking out of my bedroom window to go sleep in his room instead of mine...when my parents were fighting or whatever..." She shook her head. "I loved him from the time I knew what it meant to have a friend till..." She trailed off, looking out the window and shrugging her shoulders. (NT) -- Shay, 14:11:57 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He had held the door for her before getting into the car and starting the engine, which was more like a rocket than an engine. He and Remy had spent a long time working on the car together one summer when they'd had a particularly uneventful babysitting job. He looked over at her and his eyes were again concerned and slightly mutinous- it was hard to hate your partner. He reached over to turn off the computer that had booted up on the dash - they didn't need to be tracked right now.) He told me about you, you know. Though he didn't really give me a lot of information about how close you guys were - said that he was afraid he would hurt you, so he left. (He shrugged a little, looking over at her for a moment, laying his arm along the length of the backseat as he drove, heading no where in particular.) He's been getting worse over the years, as far as his anger streak goes. (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:17:16 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• A quick run down on the history -- Shay, 14:22:16 01/14/06 Sat
  • (He started the computer again and dialed in the address, having not been in the area before. As it located and told him where to go, he looked over again, thoughfully listening.) He lied to you so that he could get away from you.. see, he's got this guardian angel complex, that's why we call him that- he's always looking out for others before himself. The only time I've ever seen him act selfishly is when he's really truly good and pissed with himself. (He stopped at a red light and leaned over to open the glove compartment, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting one for himself before stowing the pack again.) He's got this wierd ability to suddenly change into this other person that just loses it. (He shook his head.) I nearly broke his jaw up in his room just before we came down. (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:28:09 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She shook her head, frowning a little. "He didn't lie to me, You don't understand Remy can't lie to me." She stated before she pulled out her own cigarettes and lit up one for herself, taking a deep drag before she spoke again. "I knew for months that he was getting bored, restless, that he was losing intrest in me." She shrugged a little, her eyes moving to the man next to her for a second, wondering about him before she continued speaking. "I was so over all this too, you know? I was doing pretty good for myself." She let out a soft breath, running her hand over her face before she took another hit off of the cigarette, swallowing heavily for a brief second before his last words got her attention. "What? You hit him? Why?" (NT) -- Shay, 14:32:22 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He shook his head right abck at her.) It probably took him that long to get up the ability to lie to you. Once he gets something in his head he won't give up until he gets it. (He pulled back into traffic and looked over at the computer screen to make sure he was on track, sighing when a message came through from Ash and quietly memorizing the remaining directions before shutting the system down again.) He trashed his hotel room, broke pretty much everything in there and would have hurt himself too. When he gets pissed like that, and I am guessing he used his anger to get you into bed, you have to fight back at him. (He flicked ash out the window and closed it again.) I dragged him out in the hall and he fought against me so I slugged him, he was so far lost in his anger that it took a whole lot more than some harsh words to break him out of it. (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:37:26 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She let out a soft groan at that, resting her head back against the headrest as she she looked over at him again. "I think my best bet is just to stay away from him as much as I can." She stated softly, though it obviously pained her to say the words, much less accomplish them. "This week is really important to Boelyn and to me, there's a lot weighing on it and I can't be all out of sorts because of some guy." It was obvious that Remy wasn't some guy though she sat up, looking at the passing buildings before she saw the planned parenthood. She rolled her eyes, looking around them at the cars and making sure no one had followed him. "There it is." She stated, biting her lip as she did one last scan of the area with her eyes. "Wouldn't some paparazzi love to publish this photo." She grumbled, unbuckling her seatbelt as he parked. (NT) -- Shay, 14:41:05 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He frowned as he looked at the building and had a feeling that Remy had hurt her a bit more than she was letting on. The thoughtless bastard would get a piece of his mind later. He took off his jacket and handed it to her.) Pull the collar up, we'll get you in there without anyone noticing. (He set the alarm on the car and got out, going over to her door and letting her out as well, putting himself between her and the view of the street.) Don't let him come near you when hes like that. (He said as though he were protecting her from his partner. He knew in all reality there was nothing a woman of her size could do to stop a man like Remy if his mind was set, but he was also really unsure of what exactly had happened and why Remy had hurt her.. it just didn't seem like his partner to do something like that.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:45:51 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She put the collar up as he instructed and allowed herself to stay in the comforting circle of his arms to protect her from the view of anyone. She flashed him a grateful smile when they were inside before she let out a soft breath, tugging his jacket tighter around her small body, it nearly swallowed her up. She let the corner of her lower lip tuck between her teeth as she shifted nervously, uncomfortable in the bright sterile enviroment. Clearing her throat, she made her way up to the front desk and signed in before the receptionist told her it would be a few minutes. She saw the way a couple of people looked twice at her, knowing they would recognize her and she groaned inwardly, going to sit on a bench away from the window, looking over Kyrian. "Now we wait..." She murmured, tapping her foot absently before she spoke again. "Thanks..for helping me out here." (NT) -- Shay, 14:49:35 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He nodded, watching her move around the room and tossing a look at the people who were looking at her that got them to clear their throats and look away. He had a feeling the empty leather shoulder holster strapped to his broad chest and the green glint in his hazel eyes had them realizing the stupidity of sharing their tale with anyone. He stood near her, looking out of place in the room, large and slightly awkward. Like Remy, he would have looked more at home in a war setting, or in a shooting gallary. Sighing, he looked down at her and nodded.) No problem, just don't let him get the best of you anymore. (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:52:51 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She nodded a little, feeling slightly chastised as she let out a soft breath. When the doctor called her back she murmured a quick 'brb' before she disappeared through the doors. It was about twenty minutes later when she came back out, his coat over her arm. She nodded a little, pulling out some bills to pay the receptionist before she tugged on the jacket again and hunched down into it. "Let's go." She wanted to get out of there, she hated doctors appointments like that when they poked and prodded in very private areas and then informed her there was some light tearing and that she should encourage her partner to be more cautious next time and then got a lecture on protection. They had given her a sample packet of Birth control, two months worth and she tossed it carelessly on the floor of the car when she got in, quiet and thoughtful. (NT) -- Shay, 14:56:47 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He watched her leave and then paced until she returned, quietly following her back out to the car and again holding the door for her. Silently he pulled the car back out into traffic and back in the direction of the hotel.) I don't know if this is completly wrong or not, but is everything - you know - okay? (He asked, nodding towards the package she had tossed on the floor and wondering what was going on, why she was so quiet and sort of distant all of a sudden. He lit another cigarette as the awkwardness of the conversation got to him and reached down to turn off his cell phone when it started to beep at him.. ash was probably plotting his death now that he was ignoring orders and had the subject off base. Ignoring Ashton was a bad thing to do, but he had had enough of the other two men controlling the situation and this woman like they were.) Look, if you need to go to a real doctor, I can take you right now, we'll make sure no one knows.. (NT) -- Kyrian, 15:01:29 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She looked over to him, shaking her head as she let out a soft breath, smiling a sweet, reassuring smile towards him - the first expression of that nature he had gotten from her. It really did make her look like a different person, softer, more gentle, sweeter even. "No..no I am fine. Just got a lecture on having my partner be more gentle next time and the importance of the proper use of protection." She shrugged her shoulders, smirking a touch. "Apperantly the all knowing Jeremiah doesn't think ahead enough for protection..wanted to make sure there was no suprise nine months from now." She smirked ruefully, running a hand through her hair before she flipped down the visor in the car, attempting to fix her make up before they arrived. "You know, Kyr.." She already had a nickname for him. "...I take it back, your not as big of a prick as I origionally assumed." She shot him a playful smile, running a tissue under her eyes to get rid of the mascara. (NT) -- Shay, 15:07:20 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He looked over at her when she said her partner needed to be more gentle.. he'd kick Remy's ass later for that.. no matter how mad a man got there was no excuse for hurting a woman. Her smiled brought him out of the anger though and he nodded, looking back out at the road and frowning thoughtfully. At her last comment, he laughed shaking his head.) No, really I am a prick.. I'm just on your side now. (He smirked, wondering how he had gone from being attracted to the woman to wanting to protect her from his friend, shrugging off the thoughts.) I can help you, you know, to be able to control him. (He smirked.) It's not hard once you figure him out, he's really not a bad guy.. just needs a bit of a reminder of that now and then. (NT) -- Kyrian, 15:11:56 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She swallowed a little, her brow furrowed. "I don't know if I want to control him." She murmured, it was hard to even say the words and even harder to know that she meant them. "Maybe he's not the man I made him out to be in my mind, maybe its time I let go of the highschool sweetheart mentality." She stated softly, shrugging her shoulders lightly. "Like I said, I think its just best if I stay away from him for now." She cleared her throat, wanting to change the subject for the moment. "So, I didn't stick around long enough to get any feedback, aside from you probably not agreeing with me trying to take away the new shining medal of the navy...what did think of the speech? Did I make a fool of myself?" She hated talking in front of live crowds, she always seemed to focus on the one person who looked bored and just assume everyone else was dying for her to shut up. (NT) -- Shay, 17:37:02 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He arched a brow and then smirked at her reply, realizing she had sort of misunderstood his meaning of the word control.. but then it had been Remy to put other meanings for the word in her mind.) It's not a physical sort of control, it's more just knowing how to respond when he gets pissed. He had some pretty easy buttons to push.. believe me I have had four years of pretty much solitary time with him to either figure him out or kill him. (He laughed a little, reaching over to turn the heater on low, his feet were freezing for some reason.) You know, you might think that I disagree with you, but I don't. You're on the right side of things here, and I really think you landed a bunch of new supporters tonight - there was no foolmaking that saw, why did you feel like you didn't get your point across? (NT) -- Kyrian, 20:50:40 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She shrugged a little. "I don't even know if I want that." She stated honestly before she spoke again, much more at ease talking about something other then Remy as they pulled into the convention halls parking lot. "I hate speaking in public, my eyes going to that one guy who looks bored out of his mind you know?" She smirked a little, checking her makeup once more before she applied a light sheen of lip gloss. "I like being in print better so I can go over what I say eight thousand times." She grinned a little, rolling her eyes. "Though I am sure most men spend ten times more time looking at the pictures instead of reading the articles but...at least I am getting heard, huh?" She smirked, biting her lip before she looked over him. "For real, thanks for being there to listen and help me out, you didn't have to do any of that and I appreciate it." (NT) -- Shay, 21:00:22 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He turned the car off and sat there for a moment listening to her, not moving to get out right away.) Hey, like I said it was no problem, and everyone needs someone to look out for them right? (He smiled at her, reaching over to pick up the package off the floor and handing it to her.) I am not asking what it is, just saying maybe you should heed doctors orders. (He winked, climbing out of the car and coming around to let her out as well, feeling eyes on him from the side of the building. He stopped at the door, holding it so that she couldnt get out as his eyes scanning and when he saw Ash standing by the doorway he moved and let her out.) I hate when he does that, I get this gut feeling that danger is near when he is looking at me. (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:06:12 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She smiled a little as she stepped out, sticking the package into her purse to make sure it was out of sight before she turned to face him, her head cocked to the side as she watched him for a second, searching his eyes. She glanced over at his boss for a second before she looked back to him. "I hope I didn't get you in trouble..." She stated softly before she smiled a little at him. "I don't think I'll mind having you look after me so much Kyrian." She smiled her thanks again before she bit her lip. "I'll see you around, yeah?" With that she turned, heading back into the hallway with her head held high, looking over at Ash with a cocked brow and a smirk on her face. (NT) -- Shay, 21:14:10 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He smirked as he looked down at her.) Every man needs to get himself properly into trouble to keep himself sane. (He winked, closing the door and looking over to Ash as he waslked behind her. The older man had a dangerous expression on his face that passed as a tight arrogance when he looked over at Shay, then he pointed at Kyrian and towards the end of the hall.) I know you don't want to, but you should find Remy and let him know you're back. (He said quietly, since he was going to have to go talk to Ash now.) I'll see you later. (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:20:55 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She frowned at that, since when did she have to check in with people? A huff escaped her lips at that, she couldn't wait to get back home to her apartment and be away from all this for at least a week. She was demanding the vacation time after this. Putting on her smiling face, she headed into the foyer, milling around the people who were greeting her and smiling, gushing over her speech. She smiled and nodded her thanks before she saw Remy standing like a statue at the end of the hall. With a groan, she straightened her shoulders and tipped her chin up, heading over to him before she paused to his side. "Apperantly, I am supposed to check in with you now." She stated. "Well I am back now." She turned, letting out a soft breath as soon as her back was to him. (NT) -- Shay, 21:28:29 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He had paced for close to fifteen minutes after her speech was over, waiting for her to come out and mingle, spreading the word about her campaign and meeting new supporters.. but she hadn't come out and Kyrian had disappeared. Then, when Ash had tried to reach them he'd shut off the communicator and then when he'd tried to call the bastard had shut off his phone. He wasn't sure what was going on with them and now he was wondering slightly if she hadn't run off with Kyrian topay him back for his behavior ealier. His gaze narrowed as she approached and he kept his gaze leveled stiffly on her while she spoke and then turned from him.) Where were you. (He asked in a tone that did not ask for sass or evasion, merely an answer for a man whose job it was to know where she was at all times.) (NT) -- remy, 21:31:59 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• "I was with your partner running an errand." She stated with a calmness that was obviously forced from her own jaw clenching. The last thing she wanted to be doing was talking to him at this moment. She clutched her bag tighter to her side and let out a soft breaht, cocking a brow. "Is the interrogation done now?" She questioned, running her tongue lightly over her teeth in impatience. "I have things to be doing." She stated, biting her lp before she smiled at someone who waved and said hello to her, acting like her heart wasn't breaking and her body wasn't aching and sore from his 'love making' from earlier. (NT) -- Shay, 21:48:29 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He fought the urge to retort harshly at her attitude, though his heart sang that she wasn't being meek around him anymore. He didn;t like the response that her submission brought out in him.) For the time being it is. (He said back in a tight tone, keeping his eyes on her and refusing to respond to the guilt and shame within him, they merely made him angry at himself. He would talk to Kyrian later about what that errand was. He nodded for her to go about and do her business, crossing his arms again and resuming his task of standing there and babysitting her.) (NT) -- Remy, 21:52:06 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She turned around suddenly, her eyes sparking with an intense anger and something else in their depths. Her voice was a harsh whisper, meant only for him as she spoke. "And it's none of your damn business what the errand was so don't bother to ask Kyrian about and don't fuck around with him over it either." She stated with a low growl before she turned on her heel, heading into the crowds like she was perfectly fine, smiling and thanking people for their support, talking to a few that were just now moving over to her side. She confirmed she had two more speeches scheduled not to mention a debate on the last day over various issues. She smiled and laughed, chatting and nodding, even though she felt like shit and all she wanted was bed, icecream and a sad hallmark movie. (NT) -- Shay, 22:00:10 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He stayed where he was and watched her move, wondering what the hell was wrong with him.. why his mind was so damn addled all the time. Perhaps he was more fucked up inside than just the affliction he'd discovered at sixteen. Running a hand back through his shaggy hair, he found himself appreciating the work she was doing here, and watching her move about the room working herself and getting what she needed confidently made him wonder why she gave into him so easily. Was he that imposing? Had he been that aggressive with her? Chewing his lip, he sensed rather than saw Kyrian approach him and when his partner spoke he merely grunted a response to get Kyrian to leave his side again without incident. He had known that Ash would send Kyrian out here to tell him where he'd been and he didn't give a shit, so he just shrugged at his useless 'errand' description at well and then watched the older man walk off, shaking his head.) (NT) -- Remy, 22:04:28 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She went through the rest of the afternoon activities with ease, sitting through the speeches and the announcements before they were dismissed for a break before the huge dinner they would be having across the road at the Ritz's private restauraunt. As soon as she stood and headed into the foyer the press was there, one of the few times they were alllowed. She was surrounded immediatly, flashes nearly blinding her as she answered some basic questions. She laughed at one reporter asking if her infamous secret love was going to be showing up at the dinner, talking about the ring she always wore on her left hand. "Ah, no, once again I will be happily dateless." She stated with a smirk before she excused herself and made her way to the elevator. (NT) -- Shay, 22:17:41 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He was standing by the elevator as she approached and stepped into the confined space with her as soon as she was inside.) Secret love, huh? (He asked without looking over at her, having wondered to himself just how he had gone about not noticing that she still wore his ring? Knowing that she did brought out the protective man inside him that he had been with her as a child, and that reason alone was why he permitted himself to attend her up to the room. He would rather destroy his own hotel room and deal with the idea of Kyrian seducing her in her hotel room while the other man kept an eye on her all night instead of the off chance he might hurt her again. He folded his hands at his waist and looked at the numbers counting the floor above them.) (NT) -- REmy, 22:22:21 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She looked straight ahead of her, swallowing a touch as she set her jaw. "Keeps the press off my back about who I am dating." She stated bluntly, as if talking to stranger. "..and keeps the men from harassing me." She stepped out of the elevator as they got to her floor, looking through her purse for her key and in the process knocking the package of birth control and some other loose odds and ends onto the floor. She swore lightly, bending down to kneel on the ground, going through the purse to find the key and laying it on the floor before she started picking things up. (NT) -- Shay, 22:26:27 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (His eyes followed her as she dropped things and he saw the items on the floor, his eyes narrowing a touch.) Are you sure you want to label your disappearance an outing and let me fill in the blanks about what you were doing with my partner and why you're dropping a new package of birth control out of your purse like it was hasitly thrown in there? (He was a bit too astute sometimes, but it did help him to keep things clear in his mind. Now, he was feeling posessive and knew if he so much as caught Kyrian looking oddly at her he would pound the other man within an inch of his life. As if remembering, he lifted a hand to the deep black and blue mark on his jaw.) (NT) -- Remy, 22:29:57 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She looked down at the birthcontrol before she set her jaw, her eyes flashing as she turned around to face him, clenching the package into her hands as she growled out her words. "Oh, so you know what birth control is? Because man, this morning, when I realized that, hey, I haven't had sex in four years so why would I be on birth control and then realized that you didn't think far enough ahead to wrap your shit, I was pretty sure that you didn't have a fucking clue what birth control was." She set her jaw, letting out an angry breath before she unexpectedly threw the package squarely into his chest. "Maybe you should hold onto that because I sure as hell don't plan on needing it. Good luck on putting it to good use." With that she spun around, slipping the key into the lock with a shaky hand, preparing to shut the door in his face as she had that afternoon. (NT) -- Shay, 22:35:13 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (A muscle worked in his jaw as she turned those firey eyes on him and he felt that same anger welling in him and it scared the hell out of him. He caught the package firmly in his hand and looked down at it, having not even thought about his own misuse of birth control.) I had figured you were on it, and honestly I wasnt thinking about much more than you at that moment. (He said back in a tense tone, palming a hand against the door as she went to shut it and letting himself in, locking the door behind him. As though he were home, he removed his jacket and gun, placing them near the door on the dresser before crossing to the window and seating himself in the chair he had been in the night before. He tossed the birth control packet onto her bed and shrugged.) I've got no need for it. (He would just have to remain celibate, women addled his brain, at least he figured so from what this woman did to him.) (NT) -- Remy, 22:53:31 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She set her jaw as he forced himself in, her jaw clenched as she let out a deep breath. "Really? Cuz I didn't think you were thinking about anything but yourself." She stated firmly, a low growl in her voice before she went into the bathroom, washing off her make up with cool water. "Is it really necessary for you to be in here? I am on the twenty second floor, nobody is going to climb in the window." She growled out, standing up and rubbing a towel over her face. "I think you could be just as intimidating outside the door, where I can't see you and don't have to talk to you." (NT) -- Shay, 23:01:33 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, dozing quietly as she moved around the room and listening to her beautiful voice carry out of the bathroom, soothing the angry beast inside him.) Someone would see me out there, and we're supposed to be trailing you without anyone knowing. If I am to be up here, it will be with the pretense that I am in your room as your lover. (He idly scratched at his neck and sighed in comfort as his body relaxed a bit and he felt the exhaustion of half a day slap him.. he'd really done a job on his hotel room and between their lovemaking and his rage he was worn.) You don't have to talk to me if you're that pissed. (He commented, not really knowing why he was baiting her, but doing it anyways. He would retreat from her in every way but his words, it was that simple.) (NT) -- Remy, 23:06:03 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• "I would rather not have to see you." She stated with a low growl, frowning a little at the ache between her legs. "Where's Kyrian? Why can't he be the one to be 'trailing me'?" She questioned, closing the bathroom door and frowning at the sight bleeding that decorated her expensive panties. Damn man and his roughness and damn doctor and her poking and prodding. She let out a soft breath, tugging on the pajama bottoms and the tee shirt she had left in there and leaving her suit on the floor uncaringly. Padding back into the bedroom, barefoot, she sat down on the bed, picking up the package of birthcontrol and frowning a little before she tossed it onto the table and laid back out on the bed, stretched out, wincing in pain. A low breath escaping her as a pain hit her and she had to reach out to get the tylenol off the nightstand and take a few dry. (NT) -- Shat, 23:19:50 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• I don't want him up here alone with you, that's why. (He frowned to himself at her words and had a fierce inner battle with himself. He watched her wince in pain and knew he had hurt her this afternoon with his senseless rutting.. and it made him mad at himself. Knowing that she was bristling because she was afraid of him and angry with him made him get up out of the chair. Silently he got her a glass of water and when he saw her soiled panties among the haphazardly stewn clothes int he bathroom he forced himself to take her the glass of water, setting it on the nightstand near her and then pulling the blankets up around her gently before he walked over to the door and sat down on the floor with his back to it. Being in the alcove of the hotel room meant that she couldn't see him as she had asked, and it allowed him respite from the war going on in his mind.) (NT) -- Remy, 23:26:58 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly, letting out a soft breath of discomfort before she reached over and set the alarm for about an hour later so she would have plenty of time to get up and get ready. She sighed deeply, resting her head on the pillow and finally drifting into a pretty restless sleep only to wake up, seemingly ten minutes later when the alarm went off. She groaned, rolling over and pulling the pillow over her head, having forgotten that Remy was even there, hitting the clock and evantually pushing it off the table in her utter disgruntlement at not getting enough sleep in the past fourty eight hours. Damn her requirement to look good. (NT) -- Shay, 23:48:52 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• (He had fallen asleep with his head tipped back agaisnt the door, his tall and broad frame tucked into the alcove of the room with his knees drawn up and his hands folded on his toned stomach. He opened one eye when she began to fuss and smiled just a little, not fully awake himself to register the previous bitterness with her. Sighing, he tilted his head just a little and closed his eyes again, letting her battle her way through waking up when he was intent on going back to sleep even though his lower back was complaining about his choice of bed.) (NT) -- Remy, 23:51:41 01/14/06 Sat

  ---

• She grumbled and groaned as she kicked the blankets off of her and made her way into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Quickly enough she was plugging in the straightener and the hot curlers and then pulling up her hair to do her make up. It was already dark outside and she had to turn on the bathroom light to do her make up. It took about a half hour for her to get her eye make up right and then a light red lipstick with gloss over it had the make up done. Quickly, she straightened her hair and then put in the hot rollers before she stepped out to get her dress. She looked over, seeing him in the corner and letting out a soft breath. "Thought you left." She murmured, grabbing the dress and heading back into the bathroom to step into it. She frowned a little as she had trouble getting to the zipper in the back but she finally got it up - to stubborn to ask for help. (NT) -- Shay, 13:27:11 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He had always been slow in waking in the morning, had usually slept well through first hour in high school and was walking dead until lunch time. The fact that he had been so worn out only made it a bit harder for him to rouse himself from the foggy haze in his mind, so he simply watched her with hooded eyes and a lazy smile on his face while she readied herself and struggled with her gown. He had always found her frazzled routines interesting and endearing. Yawning audibly at her comment, he nodded.) You said you'd rather not see me. (He leaned his head back again and shifted a bit, then groaned as his back ached him and got to his feet, padding over to the bed she had destroyed and stretching out on it, closing his eyes again.) Let me know when you're ready to go. (He said lazily, pressing his face into the pillow to pick up her scent.) (NT) -- Remy, 13:33:23 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• The dress was a little scandalous but that fit her image so she just looked herself over one more time before she took the curlers out of her hair, letting it fall down in big soft spiral waves. She applied just a touch more lip gloss before she laid the shawl over her arms, her clutch purse in hand as she stepped into her heels and then headed towards the door, barely looking over at him as she spoke. "I am leaving." She stated, still wearing his ring, along with an expensive looking necklace and matching dangling earrings. The dress alone cost over a grand and she was feeling pretty good about the way she looked if nothing else. (NT) -- Shay, 13:56:18 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• Okay, so I tend to fuck things up.. can you give me a break here? -- Remy, 14:12:31 01/15/06 Sun
  • She stepped out of the elevator looking elegent, sexy, and classy all at the same time, a look not so many people could pull off. She still looked a little tired and there was a definate sadness in the emerald green depths - brought out even more so by the dress and makeup - but she managed to pull off looking stunning. Her eyes moved over the foyer, pausing when she saw her Kyrian with the blonde. She gave the other woman the once over, smirking a touch. The woman was obviously trying a little to hard and if that dress was maybe one size bigger it would have looked good on her - in Shay's opinion at least. She smirked, speaking to the man quietly. "Kyr, I wasn't aware you had a date for the evening." (NT) -- Shay, 14:24:22 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He arched his brow when he saw Kyrian with Shannon, knowing that Ash was pulling something if his wife was in on this. When she walked over to him he stopped in his tracks and let Shay pass him to walk over to Kyrian. The blonde had been trying to get in his pants for years, and was never shy about touching him in public in ways that drove his body crazy and made him want to kill her. As her hands slid up his chest and she boldly touched the side of his face, he leaned back and then shook his head imperceptibly, taking her wrist and squeezing it harshly as he stepped away from her. He tossed a glare towards Kyrian for unleashing the beast on him, but apparently his partner was otherwise occupied.) (He smiled and shook his head, lowering his voice.) She's here to piss Remy off. (He offered her the flower and then turned to offer his arm to escort her.) (NT) -- Remy, 14:40:22 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She smiled at the rose, her eyes turning appreciative at him before she reached up to press a grateful kiss to his cheek. "I think I do that enough on my own." She stated softly, a small smirk on her face as she slipped her small hand around his arm and let it rest on his bicep, letting him escort her towards the door where they would have to cross the busy street to get to the Ritz. She shivered a little in the cool wind against her bare skin, stepping a bit closer to him. "He saw the birth control and thought I had gotten it because I was out with you." She stated in a soft whisper, a smirk on her face though her eyes reflected her inner sadness as she gazed up at him. (NT) -- Shay, 15:11:23 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He let his hand rest lightly at the pulse on her wrist, slightly confused at his body's reaction to her. It was a protective reaction that had nothing to do with chemistry or heat between them, it was as if he had been reunited with a long-lost sister who he felt this uncanny affection for. Smiling back at her, he tipped his head close to hers as they waited to cross the street.) Let him think that, he'll take it out on me instead of you then. (He murmured, a playful expression in his eyes, turning the hazel shade into a deep emerald.) (He had a tight lipped expression as he lingered back a few steps from them, watching his partner and her converse privately in a way that made him want to drag them apart. Shannon had taken his hand in hers and he was too pissed to take it back, so he simply held her hand as the light changed and they crossed the street. Something was going on, and his never quiet mind was running with it.) (NT) -- Remy, 15:17:01 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• I think your kinda nice -- Shay, 15:44:23 01/15/06 Sun
  • Somebody take away these pills.. -- REmy/Kyrian, 15:51:24 01/15/06 Sun
    • She called out a warning...don't ever let life pass you by -- Shay, 16:09:30 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He took a seat next to her and automatically reached into his pocket to flip his cell phone over to vibrate to eliminate the possibility of an embarassing interruption to their meal. He looked over as she spoke and then smiled just to make it look like they were having a normal conversation.) I don't know what his deal is today. (He muttered back, though anyone watching would have seen him speak affectionately towards her. When the envelope arrived, he turned his head and sent the scathing look back towards his partner, though he keep an arrogantly charming smile in place, warning his partner to keep the charade going lest they get figured out. At her sharp breath, he looked over at her again.) What is it? (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:15:20 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She frowned a little, worrying her lower lip as she slipped the card across the table to him, her brow furrowed as she looked around, meeting Remy's eyes for a second. She didn't like thinking she was putting the two men in danger, this wasn't something that usually happened to her. Sure she had her share of angry messages on her machine which had led her to getting an unlisted number but nothing that had made her feel like she was in direct danger. A low breath escaped her lips as she ran a hand over her face, clearing her throat when the waiter appeared. "Ah yes, I'll have a glass of the Echo Di Mani please and just a crab salad to start with." She forced herself to sound casual. (NT) -- Shay, 16:27:50 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He let his eyes move from Kyrian to Shay and then was about to look away when her eyes met his and he held her gaze for a moment. When she looked up he sighed, and then jumped when Shannon's hand slipped down his thigh and caressed him in a much to private way for a public dinner. He snatched her hand and tossed it aside, shaking his head and averting his gaze in disgust and anger.) (He had seen Remy and Shannon's little interlude and couln't help but smirk as he looked over at the waiter, placing his own order and leaning back a bit, looking at her as he picked up the card and scanned the angry red scrawl, his eyes narrowed a bit.) Do you recoginize the writing? (He asked in a quiet tone, slipping into investigator mode.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:32:21 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• Her eyes widened as she saw him jump and from their vantage could exactly see what had made him jump. She turned her eyes away quickly, before she saw his reaction, instead focusing on Kyrian. She was trying not to think about how her and Remy had never been to a resturaunt this fancy, each time they were supposed to something came up like him leaving a week early for the navy or them going to the ranch instead of staying home for christmas. "No, not at all." She stated softly, her brow furrowed a little. "I thought Remy was just being paranoid." She stated softly, quieting as they brought her wine and she took a sip of it, brushing back a strand of her hair. (NT) -- Shay, 16:41:40 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He kept his gaze averted until Shannon rose from her seat, then he watched her walk over towards the bathroom. Turning his gaze on Kyrian, he watched him read the note and looked between the two of them trying to figure out what was going on from their expressions. He was so tuned into them that he didn't see Shannon flirting with the waitor and slipping something into his drink.) (He frowned, tapping the edge of the card on the table as he thought, then shrugged.) Remy is never paranoid, he has a sixth sense about these things. (He looked over at his partner and the two of them spoke silently through almost imperceptible shifts in eyes and features. Kyrian conveying that it was a threat, and Remy conveying that he understood. Sighing, he looked back over at her and slipped the card into his inner jacket pocket, smiling a bit.) No worries about it now, we have a function to attend to. (NT) -- Remy/Kyrian, 19:22:55 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She bit her lip, moving her eyes over to Remy for a second, running her tongue over her full lips before she nodded, swallowing heavily. "Yeah..ok..." She let out a soft breath as the band started to play and people started to get up to dance. "I hope you know how to dance." She stated, looking over at him and attempting a light attitude. She cocked a brow, tipping her head to the side as she gazed at him, waiting to see if he could or not. She needed to do something to get her mind off of Remy and this new threat, she needed something to enjoy and feel light hearted about. (NT) -- Shay, 19:41:17 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He smiled in response to her slight change in mood and looked over at her.) I've been known to attempt it every now and then. (He admitted, letting his gaze run over her slowly, trying to decipher her mood and knowing how shaken up she was.. realizing that she had actually believed that there was no threat before that note. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he looked over to see Remy answering his. The two men exchanged a look and Remy left the room with his phone. He looked over at Shay and the corner of his mouth shifted up.) Probably Ash needs to speak to one of us. (He whispered, leaning in to speak to her so no one would hear them.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 19:51:48 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• All she wanted was to follow him out and let him comfort her, reassure her and hold her, make her feel safe - except now he was the one she was a little skitterish of. A low breath escaped her lips as she cleared her throat and stood up, waiting for him. "So show me those moves sweetheart." She teased with a wink, looking over her shoulder again as she looked at him with a gaze that begged him to make her forget about everything for just a few minutes. She offered her hand, smirking a touch. "Aren't these roles a little reversed?" She questioned with a smile, tipping her head to the side. (NT) -- Shay, 20:06:52 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He took her hand and rose to follow her, smiling a bit.) Do you mean my being your escort, or you asking me to dance? (He teased, slipping an arm around her waist and guiding her towards the dancefloor where he easily swept her into a dance and held her just close enough to him in the circle of his arms that he could speak to her without others hearing.) Can you think of anyone who would be personally against you or your campaign? (He asked after a moment, eyes narrowing thoughtfully as he looked at her, wondering for the second time why it was taking Remy so long to return and then brushing it away that his partner was probably in a meeting with Ash about some odd thing Shannon had accused him of doing since he'd refused her advances again. The woman would make up stories to get him in trouble because Remy refused to touch her or let her touch him. It would have been amusing had Ash not taken most of the stories for face value.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 20:16:42 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She sighed softly, biting her lip gently as she shrugged. "I don't know...I guess anyone who is pushing for the base to be built." She stated before she looked over her shoulder again. "Where did Remy go?" She questioned, it was obvious that she loved him, she really did even if it was just as a best friend - which it wasn't - she still loved him. She moved with him easily, light on her feet as she let out a soft breath, smiling up at him briefly. "Has he said anything to you today?" She questioned, shifting a little against the pain that still lingered from Remy early. She had taken some pain killers so she figured it would stop hurting soon. (NT) -- Shay, 20:30:51 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He sighed thoughtfully and looked over her shoulder towards the door Remy had gone through.) It seems unlikely that someone unconnected to you would send threats, more likely it is someone you know. (He let his eyes shift to her and then back to the doorway, Remy had been gone for fifteen minutes already.) You know, I bet he has talking to Ash, when both of our phones go off it tends to be him. (He shrugged it off like he wasn't concerned, and really he wasn't - his partner could handle himself.. it was moreso that he was thinking about what was going on that would distract the younger man.) I haven't talked to him for more than a second, and it wasn't pleasent though he wasn;t out for blood. (He shrugged, smiling.) In fact he seemed more like himself before I left him earlier. (NT) -- Kyrian, 20:42:41 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She frowned heavily, shaking her head. "I don't know who would do something like that..." She stated with a frown before she sighed deeply, resting her head absently against his shoulder as she thought this all over. Before long the song was over and she let him lead her back to the table where their food was being delivered. Her fork played in the salad absently, pushing it around for a second before she took a small bite, looking over her shoulder for Remy yet again, her brow furrowed with slight worry. Her eyes went back to the salad, biting her lip a little before she took another bite, just wanting to get this evening over and done with. (NT) -- Shay, 20:50:07 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He shifted uneasily as he felt her move beside him and fed from her nerves. He tended to be a calm person, but when his partner had been missing for almost a half an hour it made him worry a bit. Remy tended to be on top of any situation and the fact that he had left the room to take the phone call had made the short hairs at the base of his neck stand on end. Sighing, he set into eating his food, hoping to simply get over his worry by distracting himself.) There are a lot of reasons why people do stupid things, Shay. (He said the words with a double meaning, Remy did a lot of stupid things for her and he knew that.) (NT) -- Kyrain, 21:03:44 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She sighed, pushing away the food before she looked over at him. "What do you say we get out of here? I can claim a stomach flue or something in the morning." She could tell he was starting to feel as anxious as she was and she just wanted to get out of there. She stood and made her way over to Boelyn, leaning down to murmur in his ear and smile at the other men at his table, standing there for a few moments before she exused herself saying she didn't feel very well. When she was offered an escort she declined, saying she already had one and looking to Kyrian before she smiled again and made her way back to their table, draping her shaw around her arms. "Can we go now?" (NT) -- Shay, 21:13:39 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He looked over at her and almost breathed a sigh of relief. The toughest part of his job was doling out enough trust in another man to know that he would be safe without backup. It was harsh to expect someone to remain behind in a safe location, basically babysitting their subject, while his partner was shouldering the danger of the job. He watched her as she begged off from the evening and wasn't surprised to feel respect welling within him.. she was a determined and strong woman whether she chose to admit it or not. He rose as she returned and took her hand to lay it on his arm, nodding his thanks to the table of man opposite them and then leading her outside the building. He looked around and sighed when he didn't see Remy, absently pulling out a cigarette and lighting it as was his habit as soon as he stepped out a door.) He's probably back at the hotel. (He answered before she could ask, and began walking back to the hotel.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:18:02 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She looked over, patting his jacket pocket until she found his pack of smokes and took one out and then dug around to find his lighter. She lit her own cigarette and took a few hits off of it before she reached the door. She contemplated for a moment doing the polite thing and putting it out but instead she just held it to her side as they came through the door until they were in the elevator where she smirked and finished it off. "I don't know...maybe I should just talk to him. I hate us fighting like this, we only fought like, one time during the whole time we were dating and I hated it. His dad caught us making out for the first time and I ran away and hid from him cuz I thought he was mad at me..." She shrugged. "...it was a little mortifying." (NT) -- Shay, 21:24:16 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He smirked to himself as he watched her sneaking the cigarette through the lobby and wondered why he hadn't thought of that himself, having dropped a half smoked cigarette himself. He leaned back on the chrome and mirrored wall of the elevator and eyed her thoughtfully.) I don't think thats a bad idea, honestly. I've never really seen him lose it with someone like he must have lost it with you earlier.. not someone he likes anyways. He's always been overprotective to a fault and put himself in front of anyone when danger rose up. (He tilted his head towards her.) LIke he did that night in the convention hall.. just jumped over to protect you before he even knew the threat or who you were... it's confusing me really, his behavior. (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:32:04 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She shook her head, letting out a soft breath. "I don't either, Remy has never been selfish about anything, definately not our love life but..." She bit her lip, looking down for a second as her brow furrowed. "It was like all he wanted was the sex? You know? His own release...he took what he wanted...more then a little forcefully and then just got up and left. He didn't even put his shirt back on, just grabbed it and walked out the door." She shrugged a little, letting out a soft breath. "I don't even know what pissed him off that much, I mean, I was kinda snarky but no more then usual." She sighed as the elevator opened, stepping out. "I can't wait to get out of this dress..." She murmured absently as she dug through the clutch for the key to the room. (NT) -- Shay, 21:46:25 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• Don't cry, don't try.. I'm not crazy I just can't lie.. -- Kyrian, 21:53:07 01/15/06 Sun
  • She did as he asked immediatly, sensing the tenseness of his voice. When he opened the door she stayed back for a second before taking a step forward, groaning at the sight of the room. When her eyes fell on Remy, they widened immediatly, groaning in near physical pain as she went to him. "Oh god..." She murmured, her hand moving over his back before she looked to Kyrian who was standing by the bed next to her. "Why would they hurt him if they want me?" She questioned, her brow furrowed as she bit her lip, looking back down at her long time best friend and lover. "Is..is he going to be ok? He's going to be ok. He has to be." (NT) -- Shay, 22:00:10 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He left her there with Remy for a moment and canvassed the remaining parts of the hotel room, checking the bathroom and then coming back into the room and shrugging a little.) I don't see any signs that they poisoned him or anything here, maybe it was something at the dinner party that got him, or they got him outside. (He sighed, looking at Remy and walking over to kneel at his side, lifting his closed eyelids to look at his eyes, lowering his head to smell near his half open mouth.) It's not poison, he is breathing steadily. . but I can only smell the drink he had.. I think it's just a sedative. (He looked over at her as he got to his feet and pulled out his phone, turning it back on.) I need to go find Ash and see what is going on, I will leave you with him as long as you deadbolt the door behind me and use his phone if you need to get ahold of me. (He looked around the room and frowned.) I'll request a different room for you, off the records. (NT) -- Kyrian, 22:05:15 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She nodded, following him to the door and deadbolting it behind him before she looked down to Remy in the bed. Letting out a soft breath, she stepped out of the expensive gown and tugged on his sweats and tee shirt before she went to the bed, taking a bit of effort to turn him over onto his back before she laid down next to him, her hand on his chest and her eyes on his face as she watched him, praying he would wake up soon and set her mind at ease. She didn't know what she would do if something were to happy to them, especially with them fighting as they were. "Come on, Remy, baby, wake up for me.." She murmured softly, her brow furrowed. (NT) -- Shay, 22:09:27 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He had gone straight down to the lobby to get ahold of the man who knew the situation, requesting that a new room be prepared for her and that no maids be allowed near the room until his men could canvass for evidence. Then he had turned his attention to finding Ash, sighing when a wave of nausea ran through him. Shaking his head to clear the roiling feelings, he stalked off to find his commander.) (It would be close to a half an hour later when he shifted imperceptibly, his breath coming out for the first time with a sound behind it and his hand shifting a little. It would have taken a lot of drug to take a man his size down, and Shannon had given him a bit much so he was still heavily sedated, but at least he was rousing.) (NT) -- Kyrian/Remy, 22:18:55 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She was still wide awake and watching him so when he made the soft sound her hand came to his cheek, her touch gentle and loving on his skin as she whispered to him. "Come on, Remy, come back to me.." She murmured softly, her eyes on his for any hint of opening. "Please wake up..." She requested, her voice lightly pleading as she reached up to brush a hand through his hair. This made her realize they had to talk out their problems more then anything, she couldn't have something happening to him and him think she hated him, it would kill her. (NT) -- Shay, 22:22:23 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (The last thing he had thought would happen when he'd been called during the meeting was the severe pain that had suddenly struck his head, as though he had been over-taxing his mind for weeks. He had listened to a voice he didnt recognize warning him that her room was no longer safe. Brushing off the threat as basically worthless, he had decided to go up to his room to rest for a bit when that niggling sensation in his palms had told him danger was near. He had been halfway to her room when the room had spun and he had suddenly found himself sinking to the floor. Now, as his eyes opened a bit and a soft groan escaped him at the sharp throb in his head, he couldn't have imagined waking to see Shay worriedly looking back at him.) (NT) -- Remy, 22:26:55 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• Her bright green eyes were soft with concern as she ran her hand over his forehead gently, as she had so many times when he was teen and had a headache, it had always soothed and relaxed him then. "Gave me quite the scare there..." She murmured softly, her brow furrowed as her gentle fingers went to his temples, so soft and gentle in her touch as she rubbed gently at that spot that usually relieved his headaches. Although, this wasn't the normal type of headache, it was habit when she knew he was in pain and it just felt natural to do. (NT) -- Shay, 22:32:05 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (His groan turned into a soft sigh as she instinctively helped to soothe the harsh pains in his head. His mouth was so dry and his whole body felt like he'd been dragged through the hotel, which is precisely what had happened. Coherant thoughts eluded him, all he could think about was her safety, he was remembering the trashed room and her eyes at the party when she'd read the note.) Shay.. (The word came out hoarsely as he made to move, as though he had to get to her.) ..danger... (He was only partially conscious and intent on getting her to safety before he passed out or died or whatever was happening to him.) (NT) -- Remy, 22:38:57 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• "It's alright baby, their gone now..." She murmured softly, her hands soothing over his temples as she leaned up a little, slightly leaning over him so she could reach both sides. "Kyrian is getting me another room and you'll come up with me there ok?" She questioned softly, brushing her lips against his forehead and then resting her own there, swallowing heavily against the sudden relief that was overwhelming her and bringing tears to her eyes. "God..Remy, you scared the hell out of me..." Seeing him laying there had been ten times more frightening then recieving that note or seeing her room tossed and ravaged through. (NT) -- Shay, 22:41:34 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (Her voice pulled him from the raging storm in his head and it took him a few moments to focus on her, but when he did the breath of relief that escaped him wsa every ounce of air in his lungs.) God, Shay. (He saw the tears in her eyes and fear swept through him, making him reach a sluggish hand up to pull her down to his chest.) I was so afraid they would get you. (He admitted, ashamed of himself for being drugged so easily, for letting them get him when he had to protect her. He was mad that his whole body felt so heavy and it seemed like he was pulling his weight through molasses to trail his hand down her back soothingly.) You're okay? (No words for his own safety, his thoughts were on her) (NT) -- Remy, 22:48:56 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• She nodded against his chest, taking a ragged breath as she held him tightly. "I'm sorry you got hurt cuz of me..." She murmured through the thickness in her throat, her face buried in his chest as she held him. "I'm ok..." She reassured him, sniffling lightly as she curled her fingers into his shirt, just thankful that he was ok even if he wasn't in top form. She really did feel terrible that he was hurt and suddenly their fights didn't seem so important she just wanted to stay by his side to watch him and let him protect her. (NT) -- Shay, 22:55:44 01/15/06 Sun

  ---

• (He finally calmed a bit, reassured by her words and her presense with him there. He could still feel that lingering sensation in his hands and it struck him that she was in just as much danger now as she had been before he'd passed out.. and that Kyrian had left her there with him when he couldn't properly protect her.) Where's Kyrian, did they find the person who did this? (He shifted himself, keeping her tucked against hsi chest as he sat up. He pulled out his cell phone and called downstairs to find Ash answering his partner's phone. He tensed immediately as he was filled in, hanging up afterwards.) Kyrian is sick, they got to him too. (NT) -- Remy, 13:53:21 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She let out a soft breath, her hand running down her face. "Oh no...poor Kyrian.." She whimpered, biting her lip a little as she shifted closer to his chest, closing her eyes tightly. Even she knew that someone was obviously out to get her, they were taking out her to protector, leaving her vulnerable and now would be an opportune time to attack unless this was another mind game which whoever it was seemed to like to play. "Is he going to be alright?" She questioned, her brow furrowed, biting her lip a little more harshly. "I should go check on him.." (NT) -- Shay, 14:01:05 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (His mind still registered the indignantly jealous response at her needing to see to Kyrian.) Ash and Shannon will take care of him, you're not safe here anymore. (He muttered, setting her on her feet as he got to his own and looking around the room.) Damnit, they took my gun. (He growled out, realizing it wasn't in the room and neither were his jacket or his medication.) I need to go to Ash anyways, you can see to Kyrian then. (He said his partner's name grudgingly, childishly, figuring that she would be more concerned with him now and that he would be slapped back into the doghouse again. For a fleeting second he had been back in her arms, and damnit if he didnt want to stay there. He crossed towards teh door, sluggishly at best, and opened it to look up and down the hall.) Come on, stay in front of me. (He said quietly, waiting for her to cross to him.) (NT) -- Remy, 14:07:16 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She let out a low breath at his movements, watching him carefully as he moved so sluggishly to the door. With a frown, she pushed it closed once again, her brow furrowed as she looked up at him. "Your in no shape to go traipsing around right now. You can barely stand up." She insisted, cocking a brow as she looked up at him, her arms crossed over her chest. "What are you going to do if someone grabs me? Fall on them?" She shook her head. "If you need to see Ash, Ash should get off his fucking high horse and come here." She frowned, sitting down on the bed, her eyes stubborn as she looked up to him. (NT) -- Shay, 14:13:47 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He leaned back on the wall next to the closed door, eyes slightly narrowed as he thought about saying something rude back to her, but the sight of her indignant on his behalf made him laugh. He pulled out his phone and tossed it over to her.) Why don't you give him a call and tell him that yourself. (He said with a boyish grin on his handsome face, his eyes dancing with laughter as he looked at her. She was right that he would be of no use to protect her right now, but he saw no other option when he was unarmed and his partner was off the list.. he had to get her to the spare room and secure the area.) (NT) -- Remy, 14:17:29 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• I'll never stop suprising you -- Shay, 14:26:37 01/16/06 Mon
  • Wonderful, so wonderful is your unfailing love.., -- REmy, 14:35:29 01/16/06 Mon
    • She relayed the message and then hung up the phone, setting it onto the nightstand before she stood up and went to the door, deadlocking it again so that she would have to let this Ash guy in instead of him just walking in. She wanted to lay with Remy but she didn't think that would go over well with his superior so she wasn't taking any chances. Quietly, she slipped back over to the bed, stretching out on her side next to him as her hand went to brush against his forehead, her eyes bright with concern and worry. "How's your head feeling?" She questioned, her voice now soft as she slipped into 'taking care of Remy' mode. (NT) -- Shay, 14:40:12 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He had a soft smirk on his handsome features as she finished the call and locked the door, laughing gently to himself as she returned to him.) I still can't believe you did that.. Ash probably wet himself in anger right there in front of everyone. (He could just imagine the other agents in the meeting room laughing as their superior got demands from their subject.. a woman no less. He opened his eyes a bit and sighed.) Feels like I got hit by a truck, but I am not worried about that right now, we need to get you safely upstairs and figure out what is going on here. (He closed his eyes again under her touch and felt himself wishing that she wasnt attracted to Kyrian so he could stop thinking about how she had gone to him ealier instead of himself.) (NT) -- Remy, 14:44:16 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She sighed deeply, shifting to rest her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes for a moment. She was to caught up in her worry about the two men who were watching over to let the implications of all that was going on really hit her. Later, she would realize that someone was out to harm her, that they had been in her room, they had been watching her, they had gone through her things...later all this would hit her but right now all she was feeling was concern for the man she was laying with. "I'm worried about that." She stated firmly, her brow furrowed as she looked up at him. "Want me to rub your head? Would that make it feel better at all?" (NT) -- Shay, 14:47:38 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He smiled at her, using a couple fingers to tip her chin up so he could press a soft kiss to her lips.) It might later, but right now I have too much on my mind to relax. (He admitted, sorry that this situation was what had brought them back together. There was a knock at the door and he shifted a bit, stopped only by her hand on his chest. Sighing in resentment, he looked over at her.) Check the peephole twice before you let them in. (He knew Kyrian would be with him, sick or not. The two men stood outside the door, the taller of the two a lanky blonde haired man with violently blue eyes and a shady expression. He had a black leather bag in his left hand and a surly expression of annoyance on his features. Kyrian stood behind him, arms crossed over his dress shirt, having left his jacket downstairs. Sweat darkened his brow as he looked down the hall towards the elevators and angrily contemplated what was going on.) (NT) -- Remy, 14:57:57 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She did as he instructed before she opened the deadbolt and let the two men in, locking the door back up as soon as they were inside. She bit her lip lightly, looking over at Kyrian sympathetically, wishing that Ash wasn't there so she could coddle both men as she wished too. She let out a soft breath, restraining herself from going to either of them and instead turning to sit on the chair near the window, where Remy usually sat, and cocked a brow, turning her eyes towards Ash. "So now what?" She questioned, agitation lining her voice. If this man was supposed to be so good at what he did why were two of his agents ill? (NT) -- Shay, 15:01:12 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• Every second I waste is more than I can take.. -- Remy, 15:10:13 01/16/06 Mon
  • She frowned a little before she stood, setting her jaw. "Well, sounds like you just have it all planned out except how your actually going to catch this psycho." She stated, heading towards the door and looking out the peephole to make sure the hallway was clear before she opened the door for Ash. "Though I'm sure you'll be very busy working on that, I wouldn't want to keep you any longer. As you can see, neither of these men are in any shape to be recieving orders right now, I'm sure you'll be able to reach them on their cell's shortly." She offered that award winning, take my picture smile. "Thank you ever so much for coming up." She didn't like the man, he rubbed her the wrong way. (NT) -- Shay, 15:14:28 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He grinned as she took over the situation, sharing a smirk that Kyrian passed back at her before he followed her to the door. Kyrian laid a hand on her side and shook his head at Ash over her head. Ash shot her a disgusted look but disappeared into the hallway without a response, gone just as quickly as he had shown up.) You get her upstairs Kyr, I'll be up in a moment. (He knew it would take him a bit to get upstairs and frankly he didn't want the distraction weighing on him knowing he was putting her in danger. Kyrian nodded and checked his gun in his pocket before laying a hand at her lower back and checking the hallway. "Come on then, I'll have your things brought up later." He led her out into the hallway and then up to the penthouse suite, a multilevel room with a beautiful view. "Quite the step up, eh?" He said with a slight smile, though he was slightly eager to get some sleep as soon as Remy showed up.) (NT) -- Remy, 15:22:23 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She waited until they were in the penthouse before she turned, throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. "I am so sorry, if I hadn't dragged you to that dinner as my date maybe this wouldn't have happened." She stated with a furrowed brow, her voice muffled as she ducked her face against his chest, hugging him close to her to show how bad she felt about it all. She sighed softly, drawing back, her brow furrowed as she looked up at him though her arms were still tight around him. Her eyes searched his face as if looking for some assurance that he really would be ok... (NT) -- Shay, 15:26:17 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (His breath knocked out of him by her sudden leap, he carefully set his hands on her sides to hold her still, lest he get nauseated again.) Easy there, I'm fine.. just a bit mucked up inside. (He smiled just a bit, though it was obvious by the pale tone to his face and the hollow expression of his normally vibrant eyes that he would be sick for a while yet, but was merely forcing his own hand over the urge to sink into bed.) It has nothing to do with you and it won't help nothing if you start worrying yourself sick over me. (He said, letting a bit of an east coast slang slip into his tone, stepping back from her after a few seconds as he heard the elevator's tone outside the door.) That'll be Remy. Promise me you won't put up with his shit and keep him down for the night? (NT) -- Remy, 15:30:48 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She sighed, reluctant to let him go. "I wish you could just stay up here so I could look after the both of you." She stated with a huff, her brow furrowed as she looked over at Remy entering. She offered him a soft smile before she turned her concerned gaze back to Kyr. "Drink sprite, or ginger ale if you can find it...it will help settle your stomach a bit..." She sighed softly, her brow furrowed as she shifted her weight. "Call Remy if you need anything, ok?" She questioned again, obviously worried about him being on his own. (NT) -- Shay, 15:33:31 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• I've been walking along a crooked path.. -- Remy, 15:38:15 01/16/06 Mon
  • She watched him go before she turned to Remy, pursing her lips as she looked around the place before she took his hand quietly led him to where she guessed the bedroom would be. "Yeah, I don't like him." She stated honestly and bluntly before she headed into the bedroom. "You need to rest, the door is locked, we can't possibly get any higher up here and your sick. You sleep." She instructed, her brow furrowed. Later she would realize that her door downstairs had been locked and they had still managed to get in but right now she was just totally focused on him and making him better. (NT) -- Shay, 15:41:22 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He followed her, reaching into the pocket of his jeans to pull out the gun. He checked the safety and then sat down on the edge of the bed.) I am not trying to scare you, but it is about time you learned how to handle one of these. (He looked up at her from where he sat, his eyes saddened a bit by the fact that he would have to show her his world, but also heartened that it would make her safe.) I can't feel comfortable now unless I know you're safe. (He explained, knowing she would be upset by his need to show her the handgun. He had another smaller one in his bag that he would give to her if she was comfortable with it. His hand trembled a little as he turned the gun on it's side and slid the clip from the handle, setting it on the sidetable and then patting the bed next to him.) Sit here. (NT) -- Remy, 20:07:05 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She frowned heavily, her brow furrowed as she literally took a step back and shook her head. She wasn't a big fan of guns and had always vowed she would never have one in her own apartment or near her really, even though both her parents had been US Marshals and were proficient with them. "I don't know, Remy, I think it would be a little pointless...I would never be able to shoot anyone." She didn't have it in her to hurt someone else with anything other then her words, even if her own life was in danger. Her eyes went to the leather satchel and she walked over, picking it up and opening it slowly. Her lip was tucked between her teeth as she pulled out the elegant green grown she had worn that night, the fabric now containing a rip down the middle. Her finger gently ran along the tear, her voice a little breathy. "Someone really wants to hurt me... (NT) -- Shay, 20:31:09 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He watched her knowingly, having suspected she would behave that way. He got to his feet and picked up his leather bag, bring it back and pulling out the smaller handgun, made for a woman's hand and to able to be stowed in a small handbag. He removed the clip and looked over at her.) I know you're not comfortable with it, Shay, but we're dealing with someone who knows what they are doing and just having the gun on you will make me feel so much better. You won't have to use it, just pointing it at someone and revealing that you know how is enough. (He let his eyes trail over her, sighing at the site of her gown and wondering what Ash would think if he just disappeared with her suddenly.) (NT) -- Remy, 20:36:17 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She bit her lip and shook her head, flinching as she squeezed the material between her hands. "This guy obviously wants me dead, Remy, and I don't think me waving around a gun that I won't use is going to stop him." She frowned softly, her brow furrowed as she looked through her bag, noting most of the clothes were destroyed, notecards were ripped up, it was just mass destruction. "..he touched everything.." She murmured, it all starting to hit her all the sudden. "..he got into my locked room and he touched anything...he could have got in there anytime..." She bit her lip, her brow furrowed as she ran her hand over her face, sinking down to sit on the ground. "Why would someone want to do this to me? I'm nobody..." (NT) -- Shay, 20:42:34 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He set the gun on the nightstand next to his own and tilted his head, having not expected this from her. Seeing the old Shay in her, the shy and reserved girl who needed him to protect her brought him to his feet and he was behind her within moments. He slid his hands down her arms and took her hands in his own, lowing his head.) Hey.. don't give in to it, Shay.. yeah, he got to you then.. but he isn't going to get to you again. (He pressed a kiss to her neck before turning her in his arms so that she couldn't see the bag any longer. He would let the idea of the gun go for now, she wasn't in the mood to be pressed and he didnt want to push her away even if he was scared for her. Tucking her close against his strong chest, he brushed his lips over her hair and sighed.) I'm here for you now. (NT) -- REmy, 20:47:13 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She bit her lip, turning into his chest as she let out a low breath and closed her eyes. She just stayed closed to him, silent for a few long minutes just taking refuge in the strength of his arms. She swallowed heavily, her hand running over his chest before she pulled back, shaking her head. "Your mad at me, or at least you were..." She stated softly, stepping away from him and running her hand down her face, going to the window and looking out, checking out the view with a deep sigh. It was beautiful, it was a shame she was to agitated and upset to enjoy it right now. Her arms wrapped around herself, her eyes looking out but not really seeing. (NT) -- Shay, 20:54:40 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He held her quietly, letting her seek refuge in him in a way that he had sort of hoped that she would. Her need for him made him feel strong and more in control of himself than he ever did. When she moved from him, he turned quietly and watched her walk to the window, tilting his head a little. He had spent hours trying to figure out what had driven him to use her so roughly that day and it disgusted him to know that he had been able to get off on her while she was in pain.) I don't know why I was mad, honestly. (He said, confirming Kyrian's earlier suspiscions that Remy was acting peculiarily lately. He frowned as he looked at her back, wondering what had been going on between her and Kyrian and just how much his partner knew about his behavior.) I didn't mean to hurt you. (NT) -- Remy, 21:00:48 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She bit her lip, her eyes closed as she let out a soft breath, her eyes sliding shut. They had yet to talk about this and it needed to be aired out and settled before they could get along again, before she could trust him again. "You might not have meant to Remy...but you did." She stated softly, her eyes still out the large window. "I had to go with a near stranger to get myself the morning after pill and when they checked me out they asked me if the sex was consentual." She shook her head, swallowing heavily as she tipped her eyes up to the sky. "They told me to tell my lover to be more gentle next time." (NT) -- Shay, 21:06:03 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• Oh Shay.. (He said in a self-hating tone, sadness lining his voice as he crossed the room to her and stood behind her without touching her. He had felt horrible for what he had done, had not understood why he had been so angry. Kyrian had had to punch him hard in the face to get him to calm down from his angry outburst.) I've never felt like that before and I don't really understand why it happened. (He admitted, though he knew it would sound weak.. it was the only answer he had. Chewing his lower lip a little, he looked over her head and out the window, wondering what he could say to make her understand just how odd it had been to feel that way.) I'm not an angry person, and I've never hurt anyone before.. especially not you. (He loved her like he loved breathing, in a way that didn't make sense but was vital to his very survival.. he had hurt her though, and didn't deserve to be around her.) (NT) -- Remy, 21:17:05 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She squeezed her eyes tightly as she rested her forehead against the window, looking down at all the people down below her. "How did my life suddenly become so complicated?" She questioned softly, almost to herself before she responded to his words. "I don't really know why it had happened either, Remy, but I don't know if I could handle it happening again." She stated gently, swallowing heavily before she finally turned to look at him. "I trusted you." She stated softly, though honestly, and it was obvious by the look in her eyes that the trust she'd had in him was violated. (NT) -- Shay, 21:22:57 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn.. too many doses and I'm starting to feel an attraction.. -- Remy, 21:27:32 01/16/06 Mon
  • She let out a soft breath at that, her head cocked to the side as she tried to not choke on tears that were clogging in her throat again. "So you wouldn't have to deal with me anymore?" She questioned softly, turning back to face the window before she just sank down into a chair by the wall, drawing her knee's up to her chest. It was already almost one o'clock in the morning again and she was already planning on begging off the events of the next day and claiming she was sick. Boelyn didn't have any speeches so he couldn't mess anything up without her and she could reschedule her debate. (NT) -- Shay, 21:32:13 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He turned his head then, berating himself for making her cry again.. he couldn't handle her crying.. it made him want to gather her into his arms and kiss her until she smiled again.) No, baby.. I didn't want to risk hurting you again.. and all I seem to be able to do now is hurt you. (He watched her with quietly sad eyes, his hands resting on his toned stomach as he contemplated his moves. He wanted her to be happy, comfortable and loved.. not crying over him and not trusting him.) I can't stand to see you hurt or crying over me. (He shook his head a bit and his brow furrowed.) I don't deserve to be cried over. (NT) -- Remy, 21:35:16 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• She looked at him for a moment before she stood, going to make sure the door was locked before she turned off the lights in the suite and then entered back into the room, turning off the light in there also. When the room was flooded with darkness other then that coming through the window she took a deep breath and stretched out on the bed, drawing the comforter over her body. It felt strange to lay in bed next to him without touching him, it felt like there was a mile between them. "I know you'll do everything you can to protect me from whoever is doing this." She stated softly, her own hands folded over her own stomach. (NT) -- Shay, 21:40:38 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• (He watched her move before letting his eyes close lightly until she returned to him. Turning his head, he looked over at her and regarded her quietly, knowing she would speak when she was ready. To him, it just felt odd to be around her and not be sharing every little affectionate touch with her like they had four years ago, back when every moment was a chance to cuddle, to kiss or to just revel in being loved.) Maybe I need to protect you from myself more. (He said softly, eyes running over her in the darkness, able to see her since he was used to the dark in the field. He could have closed his eyes and felt her next to him, he was so in tune to her body. His sigh was deep and long drawn as he turned his gaze back up to the cieling and tried to imagine sleeping next to her without holding her.) (NT) -- Remy, 21:44:22 01/16/06 Mon

  ---

• "I just don't know what happened..." She murmured softly, honestly, her dark green eyes moving over to look at him. A low breath escaped her lips as she swallowed, biting her lip. "You scared me a little bit, Remy.." She admitted quietly before she shifted to rest on her side, her hand tucked beneath her cheek. "I don't know how to take this new you, you know? Like I always had all these stupid, kid hopes of us seeing each other again and still being in love and everything working out perfectly...I was living in the past when it came to you and suddenly...it's became really clear that its not the way it was back then...everything become a little...tainted." She stated softly, biting her lips as she looked at him curiously. (NT) -- Shay, 13:04:46 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He pursed his lips a bit as he looked at the cieling, feeling her eyes on him and knowing that if he turned his head he would just see the confusion and worry in her eyes. She could be his undoing with just one look like that, and he knew it.) I'm sorry I can't be the man you want me to be, Shay. (He admitted, folding his hands behind his head with a sigh and appearing more relaxed than he felt, it was just a ploy he always used to cover his nerves. He couldn't explain to her what had happened that day, nor would he sit there and beg forgiveness from her. She would come to her own conclusions about him and he would be satisfied with them no matter how much it hurt.) There isn't much I can do right now to remedy the situation. (NT) -- Remy, 13:15:44 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• To her, he just came off like he didn't care that he had hurt her and he was just kind of appeasing her by even the slightest apology he offered. Her brow furrowed at that, her voice quiet and sad when she finally spoke. "Yeah, I guess not..." She murmured softly, biting her lip for a long moment before she shifted to lay back on her back for a long moment before turning over onto her other side so her back was to him, her eyes closing against the once again sting of tears. A low breath escaped her lips as she finally murmured softly. "Goodnight, Remy." (NT) -- Shay, 13:20:23 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He let silence fall between them for a long moment as his mind worked through everything that had happened that day. Shifting to lay on his side facing her back, he let his eyes wander over her back and decided that even though he had no real way of making her understand what he was going through, that he couldn't condone taking it out on her either.) I never stopped loving you, you know. (He said quietly after a long and drawn out silence. He was leaning on his elbow, his head on his hand and his eyes bright even in the dark now that he was feeling a bit more clear headed. Something weird was going on inside him that he knew he had to get to the bottom of.) (NT) -- Remy, 13:23:18 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She swallowed softly, her eyes on the wall as she thought about that for a moment. "Why weren't you ever with anyone else?" She questioned softly, her brow furrowed. "Four years is a long time for any guy and I know you have a strong sex drive." She smirked a little at that last part, her brow furrowed as she looked at the wall still, trying to figure out what was going on between them. It was hard to stay away from, she had spent so much time physically apart from him that now that he was right there it was almost painful to not touch him, not be in his arms. It seemed like such a waste of precious time. (NT) -- Shay, 13:26:53 01/17/06 Tue

• (He cleared his throat.) I could lie and say that my work kept me too busy to worry about women. (Idly he reached out to let his fingers sift lightly through her hair before returning his hand to his side again, seemingly unable to keep his hands to himself.) I've never felt the urge to be with anyone else. (He was feeling a bit more comfortable now that he had told her that, now that she knew he had been faithful simply because he didn't want to stray. Even with four years passing he couldn't look at another woman without seeing her.) I made a promise to you anyways, I never took that back. (NT) -- Remy, 13:31:01 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She bit her lip at that, her brow furrowed a little bit as she thought it all over with a deep sigh. "You could have...you know...no one expects you to keep a promise you made when you were a kid." She stated softly, her hand shifting to rest on her stomach after she turned over to lay on her back again. Her eyes shifted to look over to him for a second, her eyes searching over his face before she cleared her throat. "I don't think you would hurt me again..." She murmured softly, a smile on her face after a second. "Kyrian told me not to take your shit..." She smiled teasingly before she rolled over onto her side, lifting up onto her elbow and looking down at him. "I wish things were..easier..between us." (NT) -- Shay, 13:39:15 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He arched his brows a little as if wondering what she could be trying to accomplish by telling he didn't have to remain faithful to her when above all that was his decision to make. He let out a low sound that was almost a scoff, it hurt to hear her say that he didn't have to remain faithful to her. He looked over at her after a moment and sighed.) I chosed to remain faithful, Shay, not because you asked me to or because I felt obligated.. but because it was something I had to do. (He needed her to understand that, no woman had been able to turn him on like Shay did. He nodded at her final comment and sighed again, sort of dejected in his expression, feeling guilty and shamed.) (NT) -- Remy, 13:49:56 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She bit her lip at his sigh, continuing her statement. "...because I never stopped loving you either." She murmured softly, her eyes on his for a long moment, her jaw set for a second as she swallowed against the lump in her throat. "I know..I know you can't offer me forever, Remy, I understand that your career won't allow that and everything but..can't we just try to at least enjoy the little time that fate's given us now?" She questioned, she couldn't go on normally in life if their last encounter was the scathing memory she had of their time together. (NT) -- Shay, 14:01:41 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He felt like he was cheating himself and most of all her, for trying to be the man that he so consistently failed to be in life. He had failed miserably as a teen to find comfort in a loving relationship with her, and now that he was an adult he was finding it hard to give himself to her still. There was always a little part of him that he never handed over, the part that guarded what precious pride he had left and refused to let someone coddle or carry him when he felt weak. Sure he let her tend to him when he was ill, but he never really let himself go.. he was always holding back.) What if I am not comfortable with that? (He asked in a voice that was almost a whisper. He knew if he let her under his skin he wouldn't be able to move on after this mission was over.. but something within him selfishly wanted that.) (NT) -- Remy, 19:52:04 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She let out a soft breath at that, her heart breaking with the words. She swallowed heavily as she bit her lip, thinking over her reply before she spoke. "Then...I'll just be another job to you and we probably shouldn't be sharing a bed." She murmured quietly, her brow furrowed as she tried to figure out how this had all turned out so bad. She couldn't have him here next to her though and not touch him, not be with him. It just hurt to bad. If they were done, really done, he needed to be out sleeping on the couch, not next to her. There couldn't be anymore small touches or long glances, it would have to be complete professional otherwise she would just lose it. (NT) -- Shay, 19:59:54 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He stubbornly refused to move from the spot he was in until he understood what was going on.) I feel so confused. (He admitted, for the first in his life initiating a conversation about his emotions. He hadn't taken his medication, so he was slipping back into a drug-free state that allowed him to feel his normal compulsion to be affectionate with her.) I feel like I am two people right now. (He ran a hand over his face, the sudden idea of losing her bringing on a severe attack of anxiety that welled up within him and forced him to lean his head back on the headboard, breathing through his nose to calm the rush of blood to his head. His hands were shaking and his eyes were closed tight against what was fast becoming too bright of a light.) Shay, I need my bag. (He said in a tense voice, he needed his pills.) (NT) -- Remy, 20:11:07 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She frowned at his tense voice but she moved to get his bag, bringing it over to him and setting it down on the bed. She bit her lip, looking at him with concern but she suddenly felt like her help or comfort wasn't desired. She took a step back, running a hand through her hair before she stepped out of the room and into the suites kitchen, looking at the fruit and cheese basket that had been left for her. She sighed softly, getting a slice of apple and some cheese and nibbling on it with a furrowed brow, she was just as confused as he was and the way this night was going she was never going to get any sleep. With a resigned sigh, she grabbed the basket and the bottle of wine, taking into the living area and sitting down on the floor. She used the corkscrew to unpop the cork from the wine and took a long sip, closing her eyes as she rested her head back against the couch. (NT) -- Shay, 20:17:26 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He took one of his pills and forced himself to relax after a few minutes of short shallow breaths. He hadn't noticed that the pill bottle was different, that there were more pills inside than there had been before. Having had to take the pill dry, he was eager to find water, and ventured out a few moments later, dropping the leather bag on the floor by the counter and getting a bottle of water from the fridge. He swallowed half the bottle in one long drink before looking over to where she sat on the floor, confused and slightly irritated with himself.) Thank you. (He said quietly, for her helping him even when he knew she was upset with him, before he walked slowly back into the bedroom, turning off the light to shield his aching eyes. There was a sharply metallic aftertaste in his mouth that made him frown, taking another long drink from the bottle and frowning when it didn't go away. Shaking away the annoyance, he sat down on the bed.) (NT) -- REmy, 20:23:38 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She watched him go back into the room with a soft sigh before she turned back to drinking the wine out of the bottle and popping the cheese and fruit into her mouth. She didn't know what else to do. He was making it pretty obvious he didn't want her, unless maybe on a physical level but as far as anything else went she was going with the idea that he was sending a pretty clear no her way. So instead of trying to think it all over, she took a few more long gulps of the wine, she wasn't much of a drinker so drinking so much at one time had her a little buzzed and she just climbed up onto the couch, closing her eyes but not sleeping. (NT) -- Shay, 20:32:46 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He had gone through her room for close to an hour and found nothing but a well trashed room. He had also spent a good deal of his time throwing up in there, thanks to whoever had deemed it fit to poison him. He got off the elevator and let himself into the penthouse, looking around as was habit for an agent to do. He spotted Remy's bag, the mused platter of food and smelled the same odd smell in the air he had picked up in her apartment. Frowning, he followed the scent into the bedroom where he found Remy passed out on the bed and went to check on him before he looked for Shay. He pursed his lips as he found her in the living room, crouching near her head to run a hand over her forehead, frowning at the near empty bottle in her hand.) Shay.. wake up.. (NT) -- Kyrian, 20:43:11 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• It was obvious she had been crying by the puffiness around her eyes and the tear marks streaking her cheeks. She grumbled a little as someone tried to rouse her and she swatted at him lightly, growling as she finally opened her eyes. "What?" She growled, wincing against the pain in her head. She was not a drinker, that was for sure. A low breath escaped her lips as she sat up slowly, her brow furrowed. "What are you doing?" She questioned, her eyes moving over him. "What's wrong?" Her words were a little bit slurred and she had to reach a hand up to rest on his shoulder to steady herself. (NT) -- Shay, 20:52:19 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He laid a soft and yet firm hand on her shoulder, pressing her back as he looked her over.) Ssh.. just lay back, it's me. (He wanted to throttle Remy.. what the hell was he doing letting her sit out here and suffer alone. He brushed her hair back lightly and took the bottle from her, heading over to the kitchen and wetting the hand towel that lay on the counter. When he returned to her, he ran the damp cloth over her cheeks and forehead, cooling her skin, removing the tear tracks and easing the ache in her head.) Why are you drinkin', Shay? (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:00:55 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She rested her head back with a low growl and a hand to her head her eyes following him as he moved to the kitchen. "Cuz..it was there...and it tasted good with the fruit and cheese...and I had nothing else to do..." She stated with a furrowed brow, a low breath escaping her before she spoke again. "Um...Remy needed his pills and he doesn't wanna be with me, he wouldn't be 'comfffffertable' being with me, so he needed his pills and then he went to sleep and I didn't want to sleep with him no more so I slept out here but I started eatin' and drinkin' instead and...now youere here." She stated, pouting a little as she looked up at him. "What are you doing here 'gain?" (NT) -- Shay, 21:07:29 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He couldn't help but smile just a bit at her rambling words, though it made him get to his feet.) He let you sleep out here? (He asked with a furrowed brow, though he didn't let her answer before he swept her up into his arms and carried her into the bedroom, laying her among the pillows in there and pulling the blankets over her. He set the cool cloth over her forehead and then looked over at Remy scathingly. It was about time the idiot got some sense knocked into him.. this girl was plainly in love with the damn oaf, and he had no clue. Grabbing a thick ankle in his hand, he dragged Remy right off the bed, making him hit the ground with a loud thud before he dragged a now sputtering man into the living room.) Sorry bout that.. (He muttered as he closed the door and they began to argue on the other side.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:13:36 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She didn't even really notice the man dragging Remy away but she was roused by the sound of them yelling at each other. She yawned softly, crawling to the end of the bed and then nearly tumbling off to go sit by the door and try to strain to hear some of the things they were saying. She wasn't used to caring what other people had to say to her about her but this was Remy, the love of her life and his partner who was now on her side. She wanted to go what was going on. (NT) -- Shay, 21:24:15 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• Help me please.. I don't know what I am doing! -- Kyrian/Remy, 21:28:58 01/17/06 Tue
  • The sound of the scuffle had her sobering quite a bit and she stumbled out of the room, her brow furrowed before her eyes widened as she saw them. "Stop it!" She growled out, her hand moving to grab Remy's arm. It showed she didn't fear him that much if she was willing to interfere in this. "Remy, let go of him!" She insisted, her voice pleading as she squeezed his arm, her own head was pounding all of this seemed so surreal, like she was watching a movie that she couldn't turn off. She just wanted things to be normal but she wasn't even sure what normal was, she just knew normal wasn't Remy hurting people he cared about. (NT) -- Shay, 21:39:04 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• (He was just about to push as hard as he could with his knee against Remy's chest when he suddenly found himself released. Within seconds he was slouched on the floor, his hands at his throat and his breathing ragged and short.) (It had been her cry that had penetrated the wolfish rage inside him and made him release Kyrian. The immense shame that shone in his brown eyes was overwhelming as he backed away from them both.) I didn't.. I couldn't.. (He stammered, shaking his head as the realization that he would have murdered Kyrian had she not been there struck him. His jaw clicked shut and he suddenly disappeared into the bedroom, needing to be away from them both until he cooled off.) (NT) -- Kyrian/REmy, 21:42:54 01/17/06 Tue

  ---

• She frowned, running her hand down her face before she looked down to Kyrian and then back to the door where Remy had just gone. "What the hell is wrong with him?" She questioned aloud, there was obviously something going on with her old best friend, this kind of behavior just wasn't him. He didn't hurt people he cared about. She looked back to Kyrian with a groan, running her hand down her face again before she sighed deeply. "Something is really really wrong here..." She stated, not going into the bedroom, instead giving him a few minutes to just chill out. (NT) -- Shay, 13:44:40 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• (He got to his feet, shaking his head a little. His face was flushed and his hair mused, and bruises would be forming at his throat soon enough. The look in his eyes wasn't angry though, it was concerned and wary.) I know.. I am starting to think so too. (He chewed the corner of his lip as he looked towards her then towards the room Remy had disappeared into.) He was fine earlier though.. and it's not like he was alone to drink something.. or to take any drugs. (He flatly refused to think Remy was capable of taking drugs anyways, it just wasn;t in him to do it. Sighing, he ran a hand back through his hair as his breathing settled to normal and tried to figure everything out.) We should leave him to cool off.. (He looked over at her.) .. has he done anything since we parted that could have made him behave differently? (NT) -- Kyrian, 13:48:38 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• She bit her lip, shaking her head. "No...we just talked some..he took his pills...and then I came out here and ate and drank and passed out but I am pretty sure he was asleep by the time I passed out.." She stated, biting her lip a little as she headed into the living room, dropping down onto the couch and resting her head on the arm of it. She was exhausted, it had been a long, long day and an even longer night with all this drama going on and whatnot. She was going to have to call Boelyn, first thing in the morning and tell him to beg excuses for her for taking the day off from the convention. (NT) -- Shay, 13:52:53 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• (He arched his brows as he thought about that, absently watching her walk over and sit on the couch. Would someone tamper with his medication?) I wonder.. (He said out loud, and then walked over to Remy's bag, crouching to pull out the bottle, tapping one out onto his palm and replacing the bottle in his bag. He walked over to sit on the coffee table by her side, looking at her as he leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees.) You gave him one of these? (He asked, showing her the small white pill in his hand.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 13:58:46 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• She shrugged a little, biting her lip as she looked down at the pill in his hand. "I guess so, I gave him whatever was in the pill bottle." She shrugged again, running a hand through her hair as she let out a soft breath. There was still the marks on her neck that Remy had left there but they were from their mutual passion and they kind of comforted her in a strange way. Her hand reached up, brushing over the bruises lightly before she looked by to Kyrian, her eyes sad and dark in the dim lightly coming in from the window. (NT) -- Shay, 14:02:17 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• (He tilted his head as he looked at her, his expression thoughtful and worried. His worry was for her, though, not his partner. Remy was strong enough to make it through whatever was ailing him and he didn't have a single doubt about that. It was the sallow look in her eyes that made him stay where he was as if to protect her from everything around her. He nodded at her words and slipped his phone from his pocket, calling down to one of the other agents to come up and retrieve a package. He lifted his hand to trail it over her cheek lightly.) I need to drop this off at the elevator, I will be right back. (He had been pacing the room, oblivious to their conversation and fighting the rage within him. Just as Kyrian left the apartment, leaving the door open, he appeared in the doorway to the bedroom, leaning on the frame and looking around.) (NT) -- Kyrian/Remy, 14:07:33 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• She nodded, watching him go before she shifted to grab the blanket from the back of the couch, bringing it over her as she drew her knee's up to her chest, closing her eyes and huddling into a ball in the corner of the couch. Her lip was being worried between her teeth as she let out a low, troubled breath, she was hurting so bad, she was scared and worried and there was so just so much going on. She didn't notice Remy come out of the room, to caught up in her thoughts to look over to the bedroom. (NT) -- Shay, 14:10:21 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• (He came out for a second with a small sigh, picking up his leather bag and retreating into the darkness of the room as Kyrian returned, going straight into the bathroom to shower and change. He hoped that the hot water would soothe the emotions roiling around within him.) (He closed the door behind him and without so much as a glance towards the bedroom crossed over to the living room to sit next to her again. He leaned back on the sofa and looked over at her.) You can sit out here for a bit and talk, or you can go to bed in there.. let me know what you want to do. (He said with a brotherly tone of authority, affection lacing his words. He wouldn't let her sleep on the couch, and he didn;'t want her falling asleep there. If she wanted to be held until she was done worrying, he was there for her, but he wouldn't have her sleeping uncomfortably simply for his partner's stupidity.) (NT) -- Kyrian/Remy, 14:14:25 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• She opened her eyes when she felt someone sit down next to her and let them slowly focus on Kyrian. "He's in the shower." She stated, even though he hadn't asked anything about Remy she had been listening to him pace and then move to his bag and finally move to the bathroom. "Is he going to be ok?" She questioned softly, her brow furrowed lightly as she gazed to her new friend. She let out a soft breath, drawing her knee's closer to her, her brow furrowed heavily. (NT) -- Shay, 14:19:09 01/18/06 Wed

  ---

• (He stretched both arms along the length of the back of the sofa and let out a tired sigh.) Yeah, I think he'll be fine.. I gave that pill I took to another agent, he's going to take it to Skeeter, have it tested. We'll know soon enough if the pill is causing his behavior. (He made a shrugging sort of expression and then looked over at her.) Are you going to be okay? (He asked softly, his expression showing he wouldn't take any fabrication from her.) This has all got to be quite the shock to someone like you. (NT) -- Kyrian, 14:23:36 01/18/06 Wed
