• He had just played his last set but the crowd was chanting for an encore and who was he to deny his fans? Seconds later the stage lights went out and he was illuminated in the spotlight. His low voice came out across the crowd. "So this is the new year..." When the crowd started going wild the band kicked in and the last song was performed with gusto, ending to cheers and catcalls. This is what he lived for, this rush and the cheer of the crowds, the adoration of fans and the sheer appreciation for his talents and music. He turned back to the band, grinning at them and teasingly clapping his hands. They had all worked hard to get where they were at though even though he was proud of the moment, he couldn't help but wish his girl was there. With a grin, he playfully bowed before he was suddenly tackled by a little four foot eleven blonde pixie, her legs around his waist and her lips planted firmly to his right there on the stage, in front of everyone.

• Who's to say where the wind will blow... -- Isabelle, Fri, Jun 02 2006, 11:35pm PDT
  • He had been a little thrown off when the girl had tackled him and until he disentangled himself and set her down he was totally confused. When he finally broke away though, his face broke into a broad smile and he hugged the little girl tightly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. With one more bow, he took the girls hand and led her to the side of the stage, talking quietly with her as he ducked his head down so he could actually hear her over the din of the crowd. When he did look up, he spotted Belle and smiled at her, waving her over to where he was standing. He didn't see a problem, really, he would just explain the situation to her when she got over to him. The little pixie was an ex from years ago, when he was a teenager actually, just wanting a chance to play somewhere and they had broken up when she moved to california and he had gone to New York...

• It didn't make her feel any better when he slipped backstage with that little tiny girl's hand in his and chatting so amicably with her. There were certain things that she could definitely let go especially given his popularity with his growing fan-base, but she was definitely not at all cool with him chit-chatting with girls who jumped him on stage. Her brows raised a little as he waved her over so enthusiastically, and she just tightened her arms under her chest, gazed squarely at him for a moment, and then shifted her weight to her other foot - so that she was angled more with her back to him. If he wanted to talk to that blonde so badly, then he should just talk to her. She was just fine with her conversation catching up with the techie. (NT) -- Belle, Fri, Jun 02 2006, 11:53pm PDT

  ---

• He frowned a little at that, a little thrown off by her giving him the cold shoulder, Belle wasn't generally like that. He smiled lightly and took Krissy by the hand, leading her over to where Belle was. When he made his way to his girlfriend, he dropped Krissy's hand and instead dropped his own palm to her hip and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Hey baby...glad you could make it..." He murmured softly, brushing back her hair and pressing another kiss to her other cheek. "Did you have a good time with your dad?" He questioned, his brow furrowed a little as he wondered about her cold attitude towards him. (NT) -- Paul, Fri, Jun 02 2006, 11:59pm PDT

  ---

• Really, she was never like this - but then again, she had never seen another girl kissing her beloved boyfriend, and she had never felt so strongly about someone so the jealously that consumed her was a totally foreign feeling. When Paul joined her, her conversation partner muttered an excuse and then disappeared, sensing the tension. Her eyes shut lightly for a brief moment as he kissed her cheek, then she nodded a little - refusing to lay eyes on the blonde, and instead keeping her gaze locked on him, confusion obvious in her look. "It was fine..." Her fingers slipped slowly back into the front pockets of her jeans as her brows raised a little - the coolness had been dropped because she couldn't ever treat him like that, and had been replaced with quiet uncertainty. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:05am PDT

  ---

• His eyes softened a little as he saw the uncertainty in her eyes though he really didn't understand it. "I wanted you to meet a friend of mine." He murmured as he turned her to face Krissy. "Belle, this is my old friend Krissy, Krissy, this my girlfriend Belle." At least he had the sense to introduce her as his girlfriend and not just Belle, that had to set her at ease a touch. The girl seemed to size up Belle before extending her hand and a little bit of a fake smile, though Paul didn't really notice that, he just wanted to spend the evening with his girl and an old friend of his, it was a good night for him so far. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:19am PDT

  ---

• She met his eyes for a long moment - searching desperately for anything that might make her feel a little better about the pretty, perky little package - and then finally tore her gaze away and looked to the girl. She inhaled a quiet, but deep breath as he introduced the two, and mustered as warm a smile as she could. "Nice to meet you." She shook the other girl's hand and then shifted so that she was subtly leaning against Paul's side - though her hands returned to her pockets. Meeting old friends was usually not so bad, but this was definitely a little uncomfortable - meeting an old friend who smiled fakely at her and jumped her boyfriend whenever she pleased. "How'd things go?" She finally asked him, her voice rather soft in the noisey environment. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:25am PDT

  ---

• He was about to answer when Krissy informed her that Paul was amazing the whole night and how he had the best voice of any of the bands the performed, the best style and the best reaction out of the crowd. She went to tell her how much she though Paul had grown and how she was so proud of all he had accompished. Paul just smiled, like any guy would, his ego basking in the praise though even as Krissy pushed the praise all over him, he was slipping his arm around Belle's waist and drawing her closer to his side. "I think she might be exagerating a little bit but it did go well, thought there was pretty good crowd feedback and we did the encore and everything, so I was pleased...made a couple of bucks to so maybe I'll take you out to dinner or something next week, babe." (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:31am PDT

  ---

• The last thing that she wanted to hear was this girl raving about how amazing her boyfriend was - it kind of made her sick that any one would be so brazen as to lavish praised over a guy who she had kissed in front of the guy's girlfriend. Some people. She frowned for just a moment - a little surprised by the bitter thoughts running through her head. She wasn't this person at all - she got along with everyone, she was a friendly and sweet and generous person. Breathing out a soft breath, she managed another smile and tried very hard to make it genuine. "Well that sounds great, love... I only caught the encore but it seemed like everyone was pretty in to it." She wondered for a moment if he even knew that she had seen the two of them kissing... It was hard to say. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:36am PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, we'll have to make sure you can come to the next show, I missed you..." He stated honestly before he looked over to Krissy. "Either of you girls want a drink? I get 'em free all night so you should take advantage..." He cocked a brow, looking to either of them before Krissy stated that she would have one of her usuals and Paul just nodded before he looked to Belle. "What about you babe, want something?" He questioned, his head cocked to the side as he gazed down at her. She looked pretty but then again, she always looked pretty. He felt a little bad sometimes, that he couldn't take her out very often, didn't get to show her off because he couldn't afford it and he knew she easily could afford to go out every night if she wanted to pay for it...but of course, he wouldn't go for that. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:46am PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, definitely... I just had to do this thing..." She agreed with a somewhat apologetic smile, and then shook her head a little. She was pretty sure she was better off tonight with her inhibitions - she was kind of afraid of what she might say or do if she got a couple drinks in her, and she had already had one beer anyway. "Just a water... But I can go get them if you want." She suggested softly, finally reaching out to touch him - a hand running slowly down his arm. She was especially glad that she looked good that night - because the worst thing would have been meeting this girl and having an off night. A brow cocked ever-so-slightly at Krissy's request for 'her usual', but of course she didn't say anything about it. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:52am PDT

  ---

• He shook his head, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Nah, I actually get the chance to get you your stuff for once, I am taking advantage of it." He winked teasingly before he led both girls over to a table, pulling out a chair for Krissy first and then for Belle, tucking her in closely and then leaning to press another kiss to her cheek. "You look pretty." He murmured into her ear, the words private and just for her. "Sure just a water? Not even a juice or anything?" He double checked with her, brushing back her hair before he smiled proudly at Krissy. "I taught Belle here how to play guitar, she's comin' along good too, might just have to kick Ramos out of the band and bring her in..." He winked down at Belle, playfully and sweetly. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:58am PDT

  ---

• She smiled thankfully, though inside she was dreading even just a couple minutes alone with this girl - and she worried that it would be a little longer than just a couple minutes because of the lineups at the bar that she could see from here. She brushed her fingers through his hair as he leaned in with his compliment, and then nodded a little. "Just water is really fine..." At his boasting, she couldn't help smiling again, but looked only at him as he spoke. "I think you might be better off just adding keys if you want me in the band so bad." Her tone was teasing, but the truth was that she was a very beginner guitar-player, but a very schooled pianist thanks to her daddy's encouragement throughout her years growing up. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 1:06am PDT

  ---

• He smiled, smoothing his hand over her hair. "She's so modest." He winked playfully before he nodded to Krissy. "Krissy plays piano too, you guys actually have tons in common, I'll let you girls chat for a bit, I'll be back." He stated, pressing another kiss to her neck absently as he ducked down before he headed to the bar. Luckily, the 'tender wanted to chat with him so he wasn't exactly waiting in line boredly but he was kinda tied up for a few minutes while he ordered a vodka and lemonade for Krissy, a water for Belle and a PBR for himself. She pursed her lips a little, looking over the other girl. "Look, I don't want to make any enemies around here or anything, cuz, new girl and all but..." She looked back towards the bar, shaking his head. "He looks even better then he did six years ago when he was in my bed." (NT) -- Paul//Krissy, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 1:14am PDT

  ---

• "Great, thanks baby." She murmured, almost wryly as he left them alone, and watched him until he disappeared before sitting up a little, inhaling a slow breath, and turning her gaze back to the girl. At first, she was a little taken back by the comment, but she didn't allow any emotion to register over her features until she could manage a gracious smile and a slight shrug. "Hey, I take it as a compliment..." After all, he was in her bed these days and that was the only thing keeping her accepting about this new with her forward disrespectful manner. "He's doing really well..." He had changed enough since she had first met him that she could recognize the difference in him herself. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 1:19am PDT

  ---

• She nodded a little bit, looking around for a moment before she brought her eyes back to the girl in front of her. "Yeah, he is extremely talented, always has had that raw talent. He needs to get back to New York though where someone could actually help him out with a record deal or more. Not a whole lot of exposure in Podunk here." She stated, shifting to light up a cigarette and then slip the delicate silver lighter back into her purse. "One of these days he'll see that I'm sure..." She really did think he had a good deal of talent and he wasn't really putting himself out there to be discovered like he should be. (NT) -- Krissy, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 10:29am PDT

  ---

• "He likes it here." She stated in response, with the hint of a frown darkening her features just for the briefest moment. At least, she thought he did. He seemed happy and content with how things were... Unless he was just holding back because she was here. A moment of awkward silence followed before she mustered another smile and reluctantly shifted her gaze back to the other girl. "So you're from New York then?" Not that she was even the least bit interested in this girl, but uninterested small talk definitely seemed more favorable than uncomfortable silence. She just didn't want to be here right now at all, but she didn't exactly want to leave Paul here to spend all night catching up with his old flame. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 10:33am PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, I can definitely see all the things that might keep him here." She stated with a smirk before she nodded. "I've lived in N.Y.C. most of my life but came down here when I heard that Paul was doing show's." She stated, her voice quiet as she took a long drag off of the cigarette between her fingers. "So how did you meet up with Paul? You don't exactly look like his usual girl." He was anxious to get back to his girl and his friend but the 'tender was talking to him about other shows at other bars and he wasn't about to pass that up so he had found a seat on a stool and was marking things down in his calander. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 10:49am PDT

  ---

• She glanced around as the girl spoke and then looked back to her only to answer the question with a slightly cocked brow. "You mean I'm not four-foot-nothing and blonde?" She frowned a little at that and then shook her head slightly, pushing a hand through her hair. "Sorry. I mean - he was teaching me how to play guitar..." She didn't bother to mention that her dad was paying for the lessons or that he couldn't stand her the first time or two that they met. Things were different now and that was the only important thing. She glanced over to the bar and sighed a little longingly at the sight of her savior chatting it up with the bartender. For once it would be nice if he was just a little bit less social. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 10:54am PDT

  ---

• "No, I mean you look a little princess when Paul is definitely more the pauper." She stated, her head tipped to the side as she sized up the woman in front of her before she pursed her lips and ran her hand through her hair absently. "So how close are you two?" She questioned, tipping her head to the side. "Living together or what?" She assumed that if they were serious then Paul would be living with her, especially if the girl had money and could afford it since Paul was never much for saving. Hell, he drank the cheapest beer ever made and seemed to actual enjoy it, that was a sign of one broke ass boy. (NT) -- Krissy, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 11:11am PDT

  ---

• She hated questions like that because it was like she was under scrutiny - and this little girl was the last person she wanted to be judging her relationship. She cocked a brow slightly but nodded a little, crossing her arms slowly under her chest. "We're close... Might as well be living together." He had a key to her place after all, and had been there every night for as long as she could remember. It didn't really make sense for him to still have his place, but she figured it was maybe a bit of a pride and security thing still. Whenever he would be ready though, she would be too - but neither of them were in any real rush. They were still young, she was still in school, they were both pretty busy. Things worked the way they were. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 11:21am PDT

  ---

• He finally managed to break away from the 'tender and collect his drinks, heading back to where his girls were. Placing Belle's water in front of her and then giving Krissy her vodka finally left his hands free enough to pull out his own chair and have a seat in between the pair. "Alright, got some more gigs lined up for next weekend and two weeks from now too." He stated before he looked over to Krissy. "Hey! If you are going to be around you should definitely sing a few songs with me for the next show, it would be great, I haven't sang some of the duets in forever..." He had written songs for the both of them when they were together and they harmonized really well together. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 11:32am PDT

  ---

• She murmured a thanks when he delivered her water, and then smiled at the news of his newly scheduled shows. "Hey, that's great babe." But then he made his offer to Krissy and she just sighed a little - she had been hoping that this girl would maybe be around just for the weekend. She could handle that - just for the weekend. Instead, it sounded like at least a couple of weeks now, and what was worse were that now she would be on stage with her boyfriend, and that meant rehearsals and lots of time spent together... She just wasn't excited by the idea. Her smiled lingered, but it had lost it's genuine quality, and she just dropped one hand to rest on Paul's leg and the other reached for her water - a little dejected feeling. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 11:48am PDT

  ---

• He looked over, his brow knitting together in concern when he saw her somewhat dejected look. "You feeling alright, sweetheart?" He questioned, lifting his hand to her face, brushing her hair back from her face. "You look a little tired, wanting to head home?" He would do anything for her most of the time. Sure, sometimes he started feeling pissy about how he couldn't take her out like she deserved and whatnot but the majority of the time he was just happy to be around her, be in her company and be loving her. She was sweet and generous and so nice to everyone, hence the reason he couldn't really understand why she was acting off that night. (NT) -- Paul', Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:00pm PDT

  ---

• At that, she inhaled a slow, deep breath before managing a sweet smile just for him. She shook her head a little and squeezed his knee as she leaned in to press a brief but warm kiss to the side of his mouth. "No no sweetie, I'm fine." She assured him, because she wasn't about to be the annoying girlfriend, and he didn't deserve any of her attitude. He was having fun that night and that was what he deserved - to enjoy himself and the attention and his night out being the center of it all. "Really." She winked affectionately, and then sipped at her water - she could handle this sitting around while the two old friends caught up. It was a little hard being the new girlfriend, but definitely better than being the old one. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:05pm PDT

  ---

• He smiled, shifting to place his arm along the back of her chair, hugging her close to him as he shifted to press his lips against her hair for a moment before the band boys made their way over, greeting Belle first before enthusiastically hugging Krissy and talking to her to catch up, leaving Paul to focus on his girlfriend. "So, babe, dinner was good? Where did you guys go?" He questioned, wandering if the topic of dinner had been Belle's broke ass, freeloading boyfriend. A low breath escaped his lips as he leaned forward to finally capture her lips warmly with his, his hand coming up to fist in her dark hair lovingly. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:12pm PDT

  ---

• She brightened when the boys came over - partly because they were always so friendly and partly because it meant that their little party-of-three was over for now - and said quick hellos before letting them focus on the tiny blonde. Perfectly content just to have her boyfriend's undivided attention, she scooted her chair closer to his and turned her gaze to him with a slight nod. "Dinner was good... We just ate at the house. He wanted me to meet his new girlfriend." She shrugged a little, pretty unaffected - her dad had been back into dating this past year or so and thus had begun the steady parade of potential trophy wives. Her dad wasn't really like that, but he was wealthy and single and his daughter had moved out and he was starting to really enjoy the life of a bachelor. As he leaned in for the kiss, a slightly relieved breath escaped her and her eyes slid shut, her fingers on his leg tightening a little and her lips warm on his. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:20pm PDT

  ---

• He made a sound deep in his throat when he pulled back, winking softly at her. "Taste good...new lip gloss?" He noticed the simplest things, when she changed her shampoo or lip gloss or when she got a new pair of jeans, he was observant like that. When he heard a groan, he looked over his shoulder, flicking off Mikey when the drummer explained to Krissy that they were always like that and Paul couldn't keep his hands off his girl long enough to rehearse half the time. Paul just grinned, tugging his girl closer as he ducked his face into her neck for a moment. "Hey, she can't help it she's hot." (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:32pm PDT

  ---

• "Mm, yeah, strawberry." She grinned a little and kissed him briefly once more before they were interrupted. A soft laugh slipped from her lips as she leaned into his side - feeling a little bit better just thanks to the moment of reassuring attention from her guy. Even she got insecure sometimes - not very often because she was typically such a laid-back girl, but there were certain things that every girl in a fairly fresh relationship worried about. "Yeah Mikey. Give a girl a break." She smirked a little and winked to the other guy before reaching up to push back Paul's hair a little - making a mental note to book him an appointment for a trim next week. He always looked great, but he was looking a little bit wild these days. (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 12:37pm PDT

  ---

• He didn't really notice the way that Krissy was watching them, instead he was focused on just having a good time with his friends and his girl. He sipped on his beer absently, not in a hurry to get drunk or anything, just having a social drink as his other hand lifted to play through her hair lightly, twirling the dark strands around his fingers absently as he listened to the conversation going on around them, the playful ribbing and teasing and the way everyone just seemed to fit together so well. Life was good for him at this point and he couldn't help but look over at Belle, smiling in a purely satisified, content manner. (NT) -- Paul, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 1:21pm PDT

  ---

• She was much more at ease with the bigger group around supplying the conversation and nestled up close to Paul's side. Unlike her boyfriend though, she noticed the looks that they were getting from Krissy and couldn't help but wonder what was going on there. She didn't even know for certain that they had ever been an item - though she got that vibe - but it had obviously been quite a long time since they had seen each other. She wondered if maybe Krissy had been expecting a little more from him upon their reunion, and could understand how the girl would be a little disappointed... But she didn't feel bad at all. Anyway, she smiled a moment later as she looked over at him for a minute, and then reached up to press a warm but brief kiss just beneath his earlobe, then spoke softly there. "You're coming home with me tonight, right?" (NT) -- Belle, Sat, Jun 03 2006, 10:17pm PDT

  ---

• He cocked a brow when she spoke, looking down at her with a warm smile. "Where else would I be going?" It was rare he went to his own place, he was with her most nights at least and he wasn't over there with her, she was with him. "Tucker is still at your place, right?" He had dropped the pup off there earlier, not wanting him to be alone, the dog was quite sensitive and Rogue and Gambit were good company for him, even if Belle wasn't around. She had a key to his place though and he wasn't sure if she had dropped the dog back off before she came out or what. If her dad had stopped by her place it would have seemed a little strange to have the extra pup there... (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 4:43pm PDT

  ---

• "Just checking..." She smiled a little and winked, then sat up a little, a hand moving to rest at the base of his neck, her fingers gently kneading the tight muscle there. "Yeah, they had all taken over the bed when I left. We might be on the floor tonight..." She glanced over to him again with a small smirk - it was no secret that the dogs tended to rule the roost. They were definitely family members and not just pets. She was just thankful that the three of them got along so well - as odd a combination as they made, her two had gotten quite attached to Paul's little pup. She rested one elbow on the table and her chin in her hand, her other hand still working loose the flesh of the nape of his neck, touch absently loving. (NT) -- Belle, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 4:51pm PDT

  ---

• He grinned at that, shaking his head a touch. "There are many things I will do for our dogs, love, but sleeping on the floor is not one of them." He grinned a touch, reaching forward to wrap his fingers around the long neck in front of him so he could raise it to his lips and take a long drink. "We might have to pick up something for me to eat on the way home, I am starting to get hungry." Which was really nothing unusual because he was generally hungry all the time but still, he liked to let her know what was going on. He grinned a touch, leaning forward to press a kiss playfully to the tip of her nose before he looked over as Krissy asked him when the next show was. (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 5:04pm PDT

  ---

• She laughed softly at that and nodded a little, sitting up again and rubbing a circle over his back before she reached for her water. "Alright, fine, well you can be the bad guy then and kick them off." She informed him matter-of-factly, and then smiled again, giving his knee a quick squeeze. "Sure babe. I'm actually kind of hungry too... Feels like dinner was a long time. And also, we need groceries..." She reminded him - thought of course the groceries would have to wait till tomorrow because it was getting pretty late now. Her gaze lingered affectionately on him for a moment longer before she too shifted her eyes to Krissy, and raised her glass of water to her lips once again. (NT) -- Belle, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 5:09pm PDT

  ---

• He talked to Krissy for a few moments, letting her know when the next show would be and discussing times they could get together to practice. The thought that she might be jealous of Krissy never crossed his mind, he wasn't that much of a catch and Krissy was so six years ago. One hand lifted to run over hair, working it out of the gel so that it was messy and all over the place, though that was the usual state of his hair. He let out a soft breath as he nodded at Krissy's request of seeing his place sometime before he turned his attention back to his girlfriend, though he was still speaking to Krissy. "Not a whole lot there anymore, I basically just bum off of Belle." He stated with a smirk, shaking his head a touch, he was a bit of a freeloader. (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 5:30pm PDT

  ---

• She watched him with a bit of a smirk as he messed his own hair, and then reached up after he was finished to fix it just a little bit. At Krissy's request to see his place, her lips pursed a little as she glanced between the two a couple times, but then smiled at Paul's comment. "I knew you were only using me for my apartment and my dogs..." Her tone was teasing though, because she loved having him at her place and she didn't care - or even really notice - if he was freeloading. He was struggling a little to get by teaching lessons and playing gigs, and her place was all paid for already as long as she was in school. She was just happy to have his company. (NT) -- Belle, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 5:40pm PDT

  ---

• "Mostly just the dogs...seriously, love the dogs." he grinned, ducking his head to press a kiss to her cheek playfully before he ran his hand over her hair absently. "Sure you don't want something else to drink, babe?" He questioned, his brow furrowed a little as he let out a soft breath. His eyes dropped down to the table for a second as he heard Krissy talking again but this time to a bandmate and he let his thoughts wander for a moment. When he had been with her he had been young and foolish, eighteen years old with nothing but a guitar and whatever money he earned from his part time job at the salvation army store. Really, not a whole lot had changed since then except for the fact that Belle was ten times the woman Krissy had been and he was head over heel's in love with Belle. (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 6:15pm PDT

  ---

• "Yeah, I knew it all along..." She sighed dramatically, but was obviously just playing along, then shook her slightly and set her water back down on the table again. "Not tonight, love..." She just felt safer not risking running her mouth off and saying something she would regret. She was a very thoughtful person, but turned a little bit narcissistic and bold when she drank. It was a bad combination when sitting at a table with her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. She watched him for a moment as he fell silent, then just smiled and dropped her hand back to his leg, her fingers toying with the fabric of his jeans at the inside of his high, and her gaze drifted back out to scan the group they were with and the crowds around.

• He smiled warmly, tipping his head to the side as she gazed down at him. "You ready to go love?" He questioned softly, his brow knitting a touch as he looked down at her. He hadn't seen her nearly all day and he had missed her so had no problem ducking out of the party early to go and cuddle at home with her. "I think maybe I could just whip something up at home and we could just crawl into bed..." He murmured softly, nuzzling her neck a little as he leaned in to murmur to her. He still didn't notice the way that Krissy was watching them with jealousy in her eyes, he was totally focused on his girlfriend. (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 7:29pm PDT

• "Yeah, sure... If you want to..." She added the last part quickly, because she was definitely good to go home, but she didn't mind hanging around if he wanted to stay and visit a little bit longer. She just wanted him to be happy, but she had missed him all day too and the idea of being home in her cozy little studio suite alone with him was more than appealing. She smiled a touch and twisted her fingers gently in to his hair. "We can probably scrounge up enough food to just make something at home.. Eggs maybe..." She confirmed softly - speaking only to him, as innocent as the conversation was, it was still only for him. Her gaze shifted to meet Krissy's for a moment before dropping to the table as her hand rubbed his back slowly. (NT) -- Isabelle, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 7:44pm PDT

• He nodded a bit and laid some money out on the table before he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Be right back." Heading back towards the stage, he disappeared into the room beind the stage to grab his guitar. He made sure it was carefully put back into his case before he came back out, saying his goodbyes before he wrapped his arm around his girlfriends waist. "I will give you a call, Krissy, let you know about some practice times." He stated, throwing that over his shoulder. He was kind just focused on getting his girl home and cuddling up in bed at this point, he didn't really care what the rest of the band was doing. (NT) -- Paul, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 9:14pm PDT

• She nodded slightly and let him go to get his stuff together. When he returned, she shifted off her chair and said brief goodbyes to everyone - placing quick kisses to the cheeks of his band members before smiling to Krissy, her arm slipping around Paul's waist. "Nice to meet you... Have a good night." Duties done, she looked back to her boy, reached up to kiss his jaw lightly and then allowed him to guide her out. With it being such a strange night, she was definitely just glad to be leaving this place and heading home with her guy to get some food and lounge around in bed with him for the rest of the night. She didn't even have class in the morning so that was an added bonus... (NT) -- Belle, Mon, Jun 05 2006, 9:19pm PDT
