Never in his life had he felt so confused about shit. Usually things just rolled off his back and he shook it off, nothing got to the hardened young man because he was to stubborn to let anything get to him. Strong willed was his middle name, he he could handle anything life threw at him, he'd seen his friends gunned down in front of him, he'd done things that would make a grown man cringe in shock and yet this little girl and the baby that was growing inside of her had thrown him all sorts of off center. He felt like he was out of control of his life for the first time ever and it wasn't a good feeling. Honestly, how this had all actually gone down was still a little confusing to him. She had gotten better over the past couple of weeks but when she had first found out she was pregnant she had grated on his very last nerve. Now though, she had chilled a bit and so had he. He was always lookin' out for her, makin' sure that she ate enough, running out to get her stuff to satisfy her cravings and taking her to her doctors appointments and all that - he wanted to be involved so he was making himself involved. Now though, he was pretty involved with the glass of liquor he was sipping on and the cigarette that was resting between his fingers.

• She wasn't supposed to be here, she knew she wasn't, but she couldn't help herself. This was a happenin' place, and a couple of girls at the store she'd started working at under the table had invited her out. She wasn't drinking, and was generally trying to stay away from the smoke, but she was feeling good, damnit, and she felt like she deserved this. She was showing, not enough to look like she'd swallowed a basketball yet, but enough to show a prominent bump under the empire-waisted shirt she wore, a pair of hip huggers sliding low under the bump of her belly. Her dark hair was relaxed down her back and she was amongst a group of girls, her hands lifted over her head, letting herself go with the rythm. Her entire attitude about being social and the like had changed since she'd become pregnant, she realized now the value of other people and their company.

• He turned around on the stool, lifting the drink to his lips and scopin' out the honeys that were on the floor, his eyes drifting over one leggy blonde for a long moment before he continued his perusal of the girls dancing, though his gaze was suddenly frozen as he spotted her. Slowly, he placed the the glass onto the table and stood up, his hands in the pockets of his baggy jeans. He made his way around the club to stand behind her, his head cocked to the side as he watched her for a long moment, admiring the way she moved before he remembered that she was carrying his child and this wasn't exactly the enviroment she should be in. He bit his lip, looking around for a second before he came up behind her, his hands on her hips as he pulled her back against him, his head dipping to murmur in her ear. "How 'bout you go for a walk with me?" He questioned, raising a brow as he looked down at her. (NT) -- Mani, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:36pm PST

• Just assuming it was some random joe, she moved against him for a moment -- she wasn't intoxicated with any substance, but just the atmosphere was enough to turn her a little bit silly. She started a bit when he spoke to her though, and looked up, pressing a silly kiss to his cheek, and dropping her arms to her waist easily. It wasn't such a silly thing for her to be there, she had seen a pregnant girl every once in a while there, and she was damn sexy anyways - she felt proud of her body right now. She turned and looked up at him, her cocoa eyes meeting his, she trusted him, because she had no choice right now. "Okay..." She paused a moment, waiting for him to head off of the dance floor, and couldn't help feeling like she was in a little bit of trouble. (NT) -- Astrid, Tue, Jan 17 2006, 3:47pm PST

• He grabbed his jacket on the way out and placed it over her shoulders, guiding the way out of the packed bar efficiantly. His hand remained on her lower back as they exited and made their way to the sidewalk - quiet until they were away from the loud music and energy coming from the bar. "I could hardly breathe in there without inhaling half a cigarette." He stated once they were in the quiet, raising a brow and looking over to her as if to question her motives for being in such a place in the condition she was in.

• She felt her gut constrict a little bit but then let out a breath, crossing her arms over her stomach a bit protectively, she felt, in the stark quiet of the night, her ears still ringing from the loud music, that he was implying that she didn't care about the well being of the child growing in her at all. Maybe that wasn't how he meant it but she was getting tired and hormones were flaring up, and though she had been trying her very best to have a life, and be an individual and everything, she broke down once in a while. She bit her lower lip sheepishly and looked up at him with her dark eyes shining with impending tears. It was probably a good idea not to argue right now, or try to make up excuses.

• Being with you brings out the man in me -- Armani, Wed, Jan 18 2006, 7:02pm PST
  • She braved it up, pulling a little face and letting out a long sigh. She did her best to will the tears back into her head but one escaped and when it did, her lip trembled a little bit, but she immediately bit down to stop it. Swiping at the tear almost angry at it for having escaped she put on her best smile. "I just wanted to dance.. and now I have.. so I'll go home." She pulled his jacket around her a little tighter. The girls would be looking for her but she didn't much care right now. She couldn't decide whether she was humiliated or grateful for him looking out for her -- she felt, though, most of the time, all he thought about was the unborn child, and of her as merely a vessel, not an actual person, but she was overreacting as she had been as of late. She was beginning to act a bit more like a normal teenaged girl, much to his and her own chagrin, dramatic and teary. (NT) -- Astrid, Wed, Jan 18 2006, 7:09pm PST

• He frowned a little, his hand wrapping around her wrist. "Nah, girl, it's early, come on, lets go out to the movies...we'll go to Denny's or somethin' afterwards, get you some chicken tenders and ketchup or whatever you got a cravin' for." He suggested, drawing her back so she was standing in front of him. He pressed her hair back behind her ear, cocking a brow as he looked down at her to wait for her to agree. "We'll go see somethin' cute..." He didn't want her life to be filled with violence or hate anymore, his whole life had been violent and he didn't want that for her or for his kid. He had thought a lot about all of this and he had figured out that he was going to do good by them, they meant a lot to him, both of 'em, he just wasn't so good at expressing it.

• "I wanted to feel sexy.. none of this cute silliness." She still felt slightly sexy, but not so much under his jacket, in the cold, feeling a bit dumb, and like she mostly just wanted to go home. "I'm too dressed up to go to Denny's..." Things had been getting better in the house, people were settling in, a bit more money was coming in, they were starting to live like people, not like fugitives and she appreciated every second of it, but .. she looked up at him again, shaking her head. "I'm ruining your night, you were gonna be out for the night, and I ruined it, so I'll just get a cab." Social as she had become, she'd become fairly pessimistic on the same hand.

• He set his jaw at that, cocking his head to the side as he looked down at her, a frown on his face. He could only be patient for a little while and then he got aggravated. "Fine." He stated, he'd tried to be nice, to be good about all this but if she was going to be a bitch about it then forget it. He turned, letting her keep the jacket as he started to walk back towards the bar. If she was going to be like that he would just go get trashed and then come home and pass out, sounded like a decent plan to him. (NT) -- Mani, Wed, Jan 18 2006, 8:22pm PST

• A long, exaggerated sigh crossed her lips. She wondered if the two of them would ever really see eye to eye. Since sex and babies had moved into the equation of their friendship, nothing was balancing out right, she sometimes felt like she couldn't even talk to him, like she was his charge and he was out doing "grown up" things while he worried about her and she sat at home. "'Mani.. I'm sorry.." She was still working out the kinks of her own hormones. "Look, will you come home with me and we'll just veg out?" Unless of course he just wanted to forget about everything, which getting trashed would solve, but he was obviously trying to make some kind of contact, he had offered to take her out.

• A deep sigh moved through his body as he turned to look back at her, his dark eyes sizing her up before he shrugged lightly. "Thought you wanted to be out and about lookin' all sexy?" He questioned, his arms folding over his chest. He wasn't trying to be a big jerk he was just aggravated, he tried to do his best by her and it just didn't seem to be good enough. He was changin' his ways, layin' it all out and all she did was bitch at him half the time, she didn't appreciate his efforts so why throw them out there? (NT) -- Mani, Wed, Jan 18 2006, 9:04pm PST

• "I'm a girl, I'm notorious for not being able to make up my mind and keep it that way.." She shrugged a little, her tone sweet and soft. "Besides, I think I've had enough of guys checkin' up on it, trying to figure out if they get to be the next to have a crack at me." She wasn't seeing anyone, not for lack of trying, because boy did they try, but she knew it would only complicate things further between her and Armani and she just couldn't afford that stress right now -- and somewhere deep inside, she wished she could be everything for him, his lover, his baby momma, all that he needed. She knew he'd never be satisfied that way, but a girl could hope. "C'mon, let's go home and watch some old movies and go to bed late." (NT) -- Astrid, Wed, Jan 18 2006, 9:08pm PST
