The clear blue ocean and white sandy beaches are the drawing point for most of the traffic down here, and help make the area a busy place. Almost hidden by shape of the beach and far from the main traffic is the entrance to a quiet, small cove that offers some privacy and peace to the locals who just want a slice of sand to call their own. Back where the beach is open, fresh, and clean, a couple privately owned and operated surf and skate shops, an icecream parlor, and those sorts of things line the boardwalk.
Further down the coast, the whole demeanor darkens as the quaint beach area develops into the notorious Waterfront. The moment the sun goes down, the 'Front becomes the most active area of town - bustling with bored underage kids looking to sneak into one of the bars, drugs dealers seeking new clientele, and friends just wanting a night out. It can be merely a place to spend the night dancing, but it is also often the location of violence and illegal activities, and everyone should be cautious when venturing out at night.

  Take in the extent of my sin
  -- Travis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 10:59pm PDT
  A crisis with an old friend had had him out of town for the last couple weeks, which had actually worked out okay because he needed to take some vacation time this summer anyway and it had been good to get out of here for a bit. Truthfully though, he had found himself relieved to be back - and that was only partly due to the fact that his vacation had been more like damage control, and mostly due to the fact that this place was almost kind of growing on him. His afternoon had been spent checking messages returning phone calls to clients and potential clients, but the moment that night had fallen, he had showered, changed, and headed out here. Faded jeans hung low but fit closely to his trim hips and were genuinely frayed in a few spots and lightly spattered with paint - the real deal, but they looked more designer than scrubby, and the rest of his clothes were in the wash - and he wore a long-sleeved thin black tee that provided just enough protection against the slight chill to the night air. He was strolling the dimly lit sidewalk with a cigarette in hand, on his way from his car to the bar that he typically frequented - in absolutely no hurry, just taking in the edgy atmosphere down there with something close to affection...

  • She had been a little pissed off when she didn't hear from him for a week, a little hurt when she didn't hear from him for a week and a half and then to the point of 'fuck him' when she hadn't heard from him in over two. She was a very independant girl and the fact that she may be getting attached to someone - no matter how thin the attachment - automatically but her on the defensive. She still came to this bar though, there was no way in hell she was going to let some guy run her off from where she liked to be. At the moment, she was engrossed in a game of pool with a guy who was defiantely older then her but not really hitting on her either so it worked out ok. Clad in tight jeans that were frayed at the knee's, a deep v-neck tight red shirt with a black duster over it and a large belt buckle that set off the outfit, she looked casual but still good...

  • He made it there eventually, and as always headed straight over to the bar for his usual drink - and was greeted by the 'tender with a smile but only a slight nod. In places like this, the staff were glad to see the regulars, but never wanted to know where they had been when they disappeared for a while. It took him only a moment before he noticed her, and only one more moment before he decided just what to do. Waving over a waitress, he murmured to her and then shifted onto a stool to watch Lysia for her reaction as the waitress approached her with the girl's typical drink of choice, from 'the big guy at the bar'. (NT) -- Travis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:14pm PDT
  • She accepted the drink willingly, setting it down on the table next to her before she leaned over to take her shot. Sinking the ball she wanted, she went for the next one but missed and only then took the time to look over towards the bar to see where the drink had come from. Her eyes scanned looking for a 'big guy' but paused him as he watched her. A mix of emotions crossed her face for a second before she cocked a brow and nodded in thanks - turning back to pay attention to the game. No sense in running over to him, didn't want to seem like a desperate little child. (NT) -- Lysia, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:16pm PDT
  • She had crossed his mind as he was leaving, but it wasn't like he could call her and just casually be like 'hey, I'm going out of town for a couple weeks'. Not only was he really not that type of guy, but that was stepping over the line of non-committment that their non-relationship struggled to maintain. He nodded back, and then swiveled around to face the bar once more as he worked on his drink and chatted with the bartender for a while. He was halfway through his second drink before he finally shifted off his stool to head slowly over to her, lingering back from the game for a couple moments - close enough that he couldn't be ignored, but not so close that it was like he was in the game. (NT) -- Travis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:22pm PDT
  • After just a few moments of him standing there, she sunk the eightball, smiling at the guy and laughing as he demanded a rematch. Shaking her head, she turned to grab her drink, her eyes reaching his as she did so. "Thanks." She raised up the drink to show what she was talking about before she put down her pool stick. It was a slow night and she was bored but not quite ready to head back to the house yet. She felt out of place there, with everyone hooking up and whatnot...she was out on the edge with no one to hold onto. Not like she needed anyone to hold onto, but still, it was the principle of the matter. (NT) -- Lysia, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:24pm PDT
  • "I was in Atlanta." The words were out of his mouth before he even realized that they were coming and his brows furrowed instantly for a few reasons - he didn't believe that he needed to explain himself to her, so he wasn't sure where that statement had come from, and also because he had no reason to believe that she would even care where he had been and what he had been up to. Maybe she hadn't even noticed. "And hey, by the way." He added on with a helpless shrug, downing the rest of his drink and setting the glass on the edge of a nearby table before shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans. (NT) -- Travis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:29pm PDT
  • Her expression softened a touch at his words, some of the icey stiffness leaving her shoulders, she looked down at her drink for a second, pondering what she thought of the whole thing before she just nodded slowly. "Nice place..." She murmured before setting down her own now empty glass. "Hey to you too." She bit her lip lightly, bringing her green eyes back to him for a second before she gestured to the pool table. "Feel like a game?" It would help keep her mind occupied and keep her focused. If she kept on drinking she might say something stupid or do something she would regret and if she just stood there she would fidget.. (NT) -- Lysia, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:34pm PDT
  • "It was alright." He shrugged once more and then nodded slowly, but stepped closer to her to press a warm, lingering kiss to her cheek, a hand resting on her hip for a moment. "Promise not to kick my ass? Because that would really not look good for my image..." One eyelid dropped in a wink as his chin tipped up so just his eyes were gazing down at her. It had surprised him every time she had crossed his mind while he was away - what a foreign feeling - and he was glad to see her again for sure, but not about to confess that he had missed her even a little bit. (NT) -- TRavis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:41pm PDT
  • Her hand slid up to rest on his chest as soon as he came close and touched her, her eyes sliding shut at the feeling of his lips on her cheek before she opened them to look up at him - a playful smirk playing on her ful lips. "You have an image?" She questioned, teasingly confused. "..and I won't kick your ass...long as your good enough to beat me." She grinned a touch, her fingers running over the fabric of his tee shirt absently. She'd been with a guy or two in the weeks that he had been gone but it just wasn't the same...as much as she hated to admit it...not many people measured up to him in her book. (NT) -- Lysia, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:48pm PDT
  • He grumbled playfully - an adjective that hadn't existed in his life for a long time until she had come along - and nipped sharply at her neck, then met her eyes once more, a brow slightly cocked. "You're one of those painfully competitive people, aren't you?" He was typically far too passive to get competitive about games or sports. Sure, he lifted weights, and boxed a little, and was in great shape, he wasn't much for football, or soccer, or basketball or anything like that. Just didn't have the heart for it. (NT) -- Travis, Wed, Aug 24 2005, 11:56pm PDT
  • A soft sound escaped her at the nip to her neck, her body pressing against his - it had been to long. She hadn't expected to react so strongly to him though, and it caused her a little embaressment. Clearing her throat, she broke away from him to go grab the triangle and start racking up the balls - quiet for a moment before she answered. "Not when it comes to most things, but when I was a kid this was how I made a lot of my money so I got pretty into it..." She shrugged a touch, at times these days it was still how she made money when she needed it... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:00am PDT
  • He smirked affectionately at her reaction and his fingers reached after her as she stepped away, then winked and headed over to grab himself a cue. "Alright, well, seriously.. Go easy on me or else I'll never play with you again." He stated oh-so-seriously, and probably meant every word - he would take having his pride hurt once, but never twice. So he would lose a million times, but he would lose badly only once. Returning to join her, he leaned against the table while he waited for her to set things up. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:07am PDT
  • She set up the game and then broke easily, sinking in a solid ball but missing on her next shot. Shifting, she shrugged out of the duster and laid it onto a chair, turning back to face him again. "Want another drink?" She questioned, grabbing her purse to head up to the bar to get herself another one anyways. Her dark hair was pulled up into a spikey bun, leaving her neck and face fully visible. A small red mark had formed where he had nipped but it wasn't like she had someone to explain it to so it didn't bother her any - she was sure she had left her share of marks on his body. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:18am PDT
  • "Double, please." He took a shot and sunk his ball of choice before she left, and then called after her retreating form, dark eyes glued to her figure. There was something so intoxicating about her - he just couldn't help himself around her, no matter what he thought or what he told himself to think or do when she wasn't around. With a quiet sigh, he just rested back against the edge of the pool table as he waited for her to return before he took his next shot - knowing her, she would accuse him of cheating if he played while she wasn't there. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:24am PDT
  • She came back with both their drinks, setting hers down on the table before she walked up close to him, handing the glass to him. "Did you get one in?" She questioned, though she didn't even bother to look at the table. She was just as intoxicated by him as he was by her, he crossed her mind at least once a day without her permission...one hand dropped to his jeans, tracing over a paint splatter absently, a smile on her face as she thought about him standing in front of the huge window...diligently working on some piece of art.. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:28am PDT
  • "Yeah, honestly I swear. I'm no cheater.." He assured her as he took his drink from her and raised it to his lips for a long sip. Her touch had him shifting a little as his set his glass down on the edge of the table and hooked his fingers into the waist of her jeans to pull her nearer to him. He wanted to believe that this connection to her was purely about the physical, but knew that in fact there was something a little deeper than just release. He ducked his head and kissed the side of her mouth warmly, breathing out a soft sigh against her smooth skin. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:35am PDT
  • She smiled a touch beneath his lips, her eyes sliding shut. Everything in her was telling her to let him know that she had missed him, that she was happy that he was back but her pride and her survivors nature kept her quiet. To anyone who glanced over at them though, they just appeared to be a couple of kids who were at the begining of a good relationship - obviously into one another. Her hand shifted to tuck into his front pocket as she tipped her head for him, inviting his lips to meet hers fully. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:39am PDT
  • He needed no more encouragement and so his lips found hers for a firm, warm kiss, eyes lightly shut. His hands slipped around to cup her backside as he just held her near to him - he was now officially, god forbid, happy to be back and just as relieved that she seemed to have accepted his return. Being a natural pessimist, he had expected her to ignore him, or be cold, or throw things or something - not to welcome him back as warmly as she seemed to be. He was a lucky man, and fully aware of that for once in his life. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:45am PDT
  • She was used to taking what she could get out of life and while she had been upset while he was gone, she wasn't about to ruin the time she had with him by being pissy. A soft sigh of contentment eased through her lips as she kissed him warmly, her hand sliding up to cup the side of his neck. This wasn't the kiss of people using each other just for sex, it was an embrace that spoke of time missed and time that needed to be made up for within each others company. People who were just in it for the release didn't kiss so sweetly in front of a bar full of people... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:47am PDT
  • His fingers kneaded her hips for a moment before his arms just wrapped tightly around her waist, one hand curled around his opposite wrist as he hugged her close and kissed her deeply. He hadn't pined for her while he was gone - he had been too busy anyway - but during quiet moments, or in that instant before he drifted off to sleep, his thoughts would be on the warmth and intensity of her kiss. There was definitely something different about this girl, and while he knew that there was so much about her that he didn't know, he also knew that there was something in her that no one else could see. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 12:52am PDT
  • After a few long moments she pulled away, resting her cheek against his chest for a second before she gazed up at him, a smile playing over her lips. "I think your trying to distract me from the game...break my concentration." Her fingers slipped from his pocket to tuck into the waistband of his jeans - looking up at him with wide green eyes. They really hadn't talked about themselves much to each other but there was still something there between them... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:05am PDT
  • He laughed softly, a brow raising slowly. "And is it working?" He teased back at her, hands running slowly up her back and then back down, head tipping back. "I would never do anything like that." They were both such independent, untrusting people that it was nearly impossible for them to learn much about each other. He was always trying to preserve himself first and foremost, no matter how he felt about her, it was always most important to him that he protect himself. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:10am PDT
  • She laughed, rolling her eyes a touch before she shifted out of his arms to get her drink and her pool cue. "Your turn, hotshot." She winked teasingly, leaning against a table by the wall as she watched him line up his shot. He was gorgeous, there was no denying that. For a second she wondered how old he was but then pushed that aside - age was just a number and he couldn't be that much older then she was. She lifted a hand to brush a tendril of hair out of her face, really, she was just hoping he would suggest that they get out of there soon... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:24am PDT
  • He sipped at his drink once more before lining up a tough shot and then proceeding to miss it - just as he would suspected he would. He wasn't bad and could hold his own, but he was no pro and really didn't care. His eyes shifted to her and a brow cocked - her turn. Though, he too was wishing that they could just leave, but he didn't want her feeling like he was totally using her for one thing and one thing only. It was bad, he figured, that every time they ran into each other out there they left within moments. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:28am PDT
  • She sunk a couple of more balls but missed on one of her last shots so she back off to let him have his turn, finishing off her drink and deciding to hold off on another one. She wanted to be happily buzzed but not sloshed so she was pretty good where she was. Her tongue ran slowly across her lips, watching him for a second before she looked away. It was strange, usually she could talk up a storm but with him she wasn't quite sure what was acceptable or not. They seemed to keep things on a very shallow level and she didn't want to be the only one to swim into the deeper waters... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:40am PDT
  • He glanced over at her every few moments into arranging and setting up and taking his shot, and then sunk a ball and had to pass by her to take his next - so paused to kiss her cheek, which lead to him kissing her neck, and then back up to her jaw. Smirking briefly, he pushed her hair back, then his fingers touched her chin and slid down her throat, down her chest, and tugged absently at the hem of her top before he focused back on his second shot, though his mind was on other things. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:46am PDT
  • She let out a slow breath at his touches, her eyes closing for a second before she smiled lightly, affectionately at him. She was a pretty girl, and when she smiled so sweetly it softened her facial features, making her look more her age then she normally did. Usually she had the weight of the world on her shoulders, she looked like she had seen way to much in her short life. She had, which made her older beyond her years, but no one knew that really. She kept her painful past to herself, no one really cared enough about her to ask about it...She waited until he missed a shot before she took another one, missing completely, turning, she pouted at him before she flopped back down into the chair. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:50am PDT
  • "Let's go." He stated easily at that - she was done, and he had been done before they even started, so he shrugged a little and put down his cue, finished off his drink and held his hands out to her. "Tell me where you want to go and we'll go." He winked affectionately, the hint of a smile touching his full, dark lips. "My car is just a bit of a walk down the road..." His brows raised in question and he waited patiently for her to stand, not minding abandoning their game at all. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 1:54am PDT
  • She stood up as well, grabbing her duster and shrugging it on before she headed over to walk with him out the door. "I am easy...whatever you wanna do." She shrugged, looking up at him for a second before she focused on the busy sidewalk in front of her. "Everyone's trying to get their time outside in before it starts getting cold..." Her voice was absent as she commented on the people loitering around outside, before she glanced back at the bar that they had just left. "We'll call it a tie." Referring to their game... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:03am PDT
  • He nodded a little in agreement, and felt a bit of a chill himself already as well as noticed one too many admiring looks on her so an arm reached around her shoulders to pull her close to him while they strolled in the direction of his car. "What's your favorite season?" He questioned absently because it just popped into his mind, and the smirked a little, shaking his head slightly. "I'm pretty sure that I was winning, but because I'm a nice guy and I initiated the forfeit, I'll take a tie, sure." (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:06am PDT
  • Her arm brushed over his as she came closer to his side, a slight smile playing over her face. "I so don't think you were winning, big guy." She grinned, throwing his words back that he had told the waitress to tell her - when he bought her the drink. Her head tipped for a second, thinking over his question before she answered. "I would say spring, because its all new flowers and stuff, and it gets warmer each day...kind of an exciting build up, you know?" She shrugged a little, looking back to him. "What about you? Whats your favorite season?" (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:16am PDT
  • He smirked a little at that, and nodded in understanding, his arm around her giving her a quick squeeze. "Winter..." He felt safest beneath the cover of an overcast sky - like putting on a favorite sweater, and the snow and ice and barren landscapes seemed to inspire him. Shrugging a little, he winked and dipped his head to kiss her sweetly as they walked - causing their pace to slow for a moment and grow a little awkward. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:20am PDT
  • She kissed him in return, her fingers lingering on his chin for a second before the kiss broke so they could walk again. The smile never stopped playing on her lips, she just seemed refreshed now that they had spent some good time together. "I am to much of a freeze baby for winter...unless there's a fire and lots of blankets...then I am alright in it." She had spent far to many nights out on the street in winter, hell, even last winter had been spent trying to get from shelter to shelter, but a lot of nights it just wasn't possible and she would end up in whatever alley she came across first that offered some sort of awning to save her from the falling snow. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:25am PDT
  • He nodded a little in understanding - he was used to hearing that one. Personally though, he didn't mind a girl who was a bit of a freeze baby - it just meant that he would be needed to keep her warm. That was a bonus, in his opinion, not a hassle or a chore. As they approached his car, he slowed a little to maximize their time walking - he liked being out and about with her, and the night hair was so refreshing. "Really though, where do you want to go?" (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:29am PDT
  • She glanced up at him for a second before she pursed her lips thoughtfully, wrapping the duster a little closer around her. It wasn't to chilly out though... "Why don't we be one of these people trying to enjoy the last night of summer?" She questioned, glancing out past the road to where the strip of sand started that led to the beach. "Walk on the beach?" Wouldn't be quite as many people, though she was sure they wouldn't be alone, and they could talk a bit more easily plus they would still be out enjoying the air... (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:33am PDT
  • He thought on that for what seemed like a long time before finally nodding and pulling her close to him again, shrugging slightly. "Sure, why not?" Wasn't something he did often, but he was feeling flexible that night and figured that he owed her what she wanted - even if it was just a walk on the beach - for right then at least. Steering her away from the lot that he had been heading to and toward the beach instead, his fingers brushed her hair absently and then just rested at her shoulder. (NT) -- Travis, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 2:39am PDT
  • It just seemed nice to do something other then go straight to his apartment, though she was definately wanting to do that too. She shifted a little closer to him as the cool air from the ocean blew over them. "Think we should take a bit of a walk and then maybe head back to your place?" She questioned, her brow furrowed a touch as she looked back up at him. The wind was teasing her hair out of its bun, causing tendrils to curl around her delicate jaw and frame her pretty face. (NT) -- Lysia, Thu, Aug 25 2005, 9:58pm PDT
  • His fingers dropped to travel a slow circle over her back as he nodded slowly, glancing down to her after a moment. "Sure, if that's what you want to do..." Of course he never minded when she went home with him, but he was a little worried about her thinking that that was just the way things worked - so he was happier that she was the one suggesting it. "Everything's been good for you the past couple weeks?" He questioned after a moment of silence, his eyes dropping to the sand beneath his feet as they strolled. (NT) -- Travis, Fri, Aug 26 2005, 1:39pm PDT
  • "Well, things have been pretty crazy where I live but other then that...its been alright." She shrugged a touch, she was used to things being crazy. It was nothing new. Between all the drama with Jackie and Rio and then Joey and Nina and her constant moodswings...she had it up to her neck in hormones and crying and moods. "It's nice to just get out and relax." Money had gotten tight over the past few weeks so they had all been working as hard as they could to meet the bills this month. (NT) -- Lysia, Fri, Aug 26 2005, 1:56pm PDT
  • He nodded a little in slight understanding - though he didn't really understand, because he really didn't know anything about her living situation or anything, but she had shown very little interest in sharing that sort of thing. He didn't share very much of his life with her either though, so he wasn't about to complain. It was just the way that things worked. "It's always nice to get out and relax..." (NT) -- Travis, Fri, Aug 26 2005, 2:06pm PDT

  She's always buzzing just like neon, neon
  Who knows how long, how long, how long
  She can go before she burns away
  -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 8:10pm PDT
  A girl like her could only pretend to be someone else for so long, and that time was up. She needed cash, because she needed to up her stash, because she just needed to. Vaguely, she remembered a corrections officer telling her once that cocaine withdrawal was psychologically based - not physically - but she hadn't believed it then, and she didn't believe it now. If it was psychological, then she wouldn't feel so intensely desperate - she was sure of that - and she would just be able to resist the urges. So, it had to be something out of her control that drove her to such lengths that she needed to perform duties that demeaned her as a woman, and a human being, just in order to make enough money to support her habit. She had met up with a familiar guy - a shady character who always hid out in the shadows, dressed far too nicely, and was always surround by girls - early that evening and he had had her a line-up of interested clients seemingly within moments. After a few hours of fulfilling wishes, she had been feeling optimistic about her chances of being able to afford some blow that night, then had been pointed in the direction of a private chamber of one of the clubs - roped off and supervised by a bouncer, but densely populated. It hadn't taken her long to sweet talk her way into the midst of all the action, and she was now sitting on a packed couch, laughing far more than anything else. If not for the coffee table littered with lines of coke, drink bottles and glasses scattered about, smokes of various ingredients being passed around, and the way that she was buzzing unnaturally, it would have just seemed like some friends were having a fun evening. The asymmetrical hem of the skirt that she wore fell to her knees at one point, but then rose up high on her thigh, and the bright azure blue of her top that laced up her front enhanced her extraordinarily bright eyes, her dark hair in loose ringlets pulled back from her lightly-made up face...

  • He had been with her nearly day and night for the past two weeks so to wake up to find her gone with no note was a little strange. The other day they had gone shopping for cell phones though, he wanted one in case she was ever out on her own and needed to get in touch with him. Curiously, he rolled over on the bed and picked up his own phone, clicking down to her number and pressing send. His brow furrowed as he waited, wondering where she could have run off too. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:01pm PDT
  • Her phone buzzing in her purse in her state of heightened feelings surprised her and then had her laughing at her foolishness, so she took a good few rings before she answered. Her voice was chipper and one hand covered the mouth of a smirking guys sitting with her, to keep him quiet, even though she didn't know how was calling. Of course, she hadn't had the phone for very long, and if she had thought about it, he was really the only one with her number. "Hello?" He would undoubtedly be able to hear the music in the background - though it was quieter in their little area then it was in the main part of the club - and there were people talking loudly around her. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:06pm PDT
  • He frowned immediatly, slowly sitting up and letting the white sheet fall down around his lean hips, his chest exposed as he ran a hand down his face. He had a bad feeling about this already and as soon as he heard the loud atmosphere she was in, his stomach sank. "'Ello pet..." He murmured softly, his voice a little wary even across the phone line. "'avin' a good time?" He just needed to admit to himself that she was never going to be completely his, nor was she ever going to be completely honest with him about she did when she took off and what she needed the money for... (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:16pm PDT
  • "Hey, yeah!" She exclaimed before it really registered who was on the phone, and then a sick feeling hit her hard in the gut - as if she knew that she was doing something wrong, but couldn't quite grasp what the problem was. "Baby, you should meet come out here." She thought that that might make her seem a little less suspicious... She could meet him somewhere else, and her clothing wasn't out of the ordinary or anything. Really, it was a good idea. She didn't want him to worry about her. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:26pm PDT
  • His jaw clenched a little, his brow furrowed as he tried to figure out what could cause her tone of ovice to be at that pitch, not to mention the slight fumbling of the words. "Where you at?" he questioned, trying hard to not get upset about this whole situation. He was half tempted to just give it all up, to stop trying, to go back to his womanizing ways, things would be easier then, his heart and chest wouldn't ache so much all the time...It felt like he was drowning in Ella and maybe he just needed some time to breathe. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:34pm PDT
  • "I can meet you right there at the boardwalk, if you want." She suggested, struggling to level her voice a little, a hand touching her forehead as she attempted to slow her racing mind. Things were just moving too fast for her to focus. "Yeah, come meet me. It's still early, and you're probably just getting up, right?" She nodded a little to confirm that and leaned forward a little in an attempt to get away from all the conversations going on around her. "Okay? Will you be here soon?" (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 9:47pm PDT
  • He frowned at that, sitting up and throwing his legs over the side of the bed. "Not really in the mood for a night out, sounds like your busy anyways pet." He nearly growled but tried to keep the angry tone out of his voice. As aggravated as he was, he had no intention of hurting her as he had that night that he had let his mouth run away with him. He cared about her to much to play those little mind games but obviously she didn't share those feelings. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:13pm PDT
  • "I'm not busy... Please baby?" She shifted off the couch to a less populated area, brows furrowing - trying to push away the panic seizing her chest. "Kaden? Just meet me out here..." She was all but pleading with him and was clearly desperate to have him with her - so that she could see him and know that he wasn't mad at her or anything like that. She just didn't want to worry about this or him, but she didn't know what she could do to make things better. It was all such an overwhelming mess. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:19pm PDT
  • He ran a hand down his face, the sheet covering him only slightly modestly. "Why don't you just come back here when your done?" Done with what, he wasn't sure nor was he sure that he wanted to know at this point. He was tired, tired of bloody caring. He hadn't cared about anyone but himself in a long, long time and was suddenly cursing himself for starting to now. Way to much of a hassle in his opinion, especially for feelings that weren't fully returned. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:26pm PDT
  • She frowned deeply at that - as much because she had no idea how to get from here to there right now as because she was getting the feeling that he didn't care to see her. She couldn't quite remember the bus number that would take her home, and a taxi seemed kind of weird, for some reason. "Um, okay... If you want..." She agreed softly after a long moment of silence, one arm crossing under her chest as she shifted from one foot to the other a little anxiously. "I can do that..." (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:36pm PDT
  • "Right then. Not like you were plannin' on me being there or anything so no harm done, inn'it that right?" He was kinda being a jerk, but no where near what he could ahve been he supposed. He was being calm enough and not saying anything to harsh - only the quiet truth without the stinging words to make it seem more angry or hurtful then it was really meant to be. He was just tired of all these games, thats what it all came down too. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:47pm PDT
  • "I was hoping..." She started to argue, before just falling silent - swallowing her panic. It was much safer bottled up inside than out in the open. "Right... So I guess I'll see you later maybe?" She murmured quietly now - the change in her tone and demeanor immediate and far more drastic than that of a normally functioning person. "Okay, yeah, maybe later..." She added on in a bit of a mumble - repeating herself inelegantly but not noticing - though she wouldn't have cared if she did. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 10:54pm PDT
  • He frowned heavily at that, raking his hands through his hair and fisting one there as he let out a slow even breath. "Whats going on, Ella, you don't sound yourself." She sounded like she was under some influence, maybe drunk but she wasn't slurring her words...he stood up, grabbing his jeans and tugging them in, carefully zipping and buttoning them before he looked around for a signature black tee shirt. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 11:04pm PDT
  • "I just want to see you..." She choked out a little roughly and then cleared her throat and pushed back a rogue strand of hair. She was coming down already - too soon, in her opinion, but given the amount she had consumed the timing was about right - and she was growing anxious, a heavy guilt setting in. "It's okay though... You don't want to come out here..." She assured him quietly - she knew he didn't feel like going out, and didn't want him doing something that he didn't want to. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 11:12pm PDT
  • He sighed deeply, clearing his throat as his brow furrowed - it sounded like she was about to cry and he sure as hell didn't understand what was going on. "Alright, listen, love, why don't you just find somewhere to sit for a bit and I will come and get you ok? We can come back here and watch a movie or something, how's that sound?" He tried for the soothing tone of voice as he tugged on his boots. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 11:34pm PDT
  • He was being so nice to her - as he always was - and she didn't deserve any of it, didn't deserve him, or to have him care so much about her. She nodded quickly though, her eyes sliding lightly shut for a long moment as she attempted to regain her composure. "I'll just be outside waiting... You know, that first bench where the board walk starts? That's where I'll be..." She knew he would know the one, and suddenly just wanted to get out of there, away from all of these things. (NT) -- Ella, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 11:39pm PDT
  • "Alright, just be careful alright? I'll be there in a few." He hung up with that, hurridly tossing the phone in his pocket and grabbing his wallet to slide in his back pocket also. His hand was run through his hair before he took off out the door then paused a second, grabbing Joey's keys - his friend would understand why he didn't take the time to ask. Within long he was walking up the boardwalk, his eyes finding her immediatly. (NT) -- Kaden, Fri, Jun 24 2005, 11:49pm PDT
  • She was sitting on the edge of the bench that she had told him she would be, but she was facing the dark ocean instead of the busy strip behind her. Her fingers were linked and tucked between her knees and her shoulders were slightly hunched, head bowed a fraction. Every time she came down these days, the harder it got, and right now all she would think about was that she was such a fool - it was no wonder that no one ever had and ever would love her. She made it impossible. (NT) -- Ella, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 12:00am PDT
  • He came up quietly, dropping down next to her without a word. He just sat there for a moment, his head ducked, adopting a position similiar to hers before he turned his head to look at her more closely. "Whats wrong?" He questioned softly, his brow furrowed. He didn't understand why she was so upset or what was going on - she looked awful and he was so confused. "Wanna go home?" (NT) -- Kaden, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 12:27am PDT
  • She inhaled shakily as he sat down beside her, but didn't look at him - she didn't even deserve that much. The intense remorse that she was experiencing was the type that could only consume someone following an artificial high, but she just couldn't seperate her thoughts into rational and irrational categories. "I'm sorry..." She whispered softly without looking up - though she knew he wouldn't understand why, and she wasn't too clear herself on why she was sorry. She just knew that she was. (NT) -- Ella, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 12:31am PDT
  • He sighed, noting the glazed look in her eyes. His arm shifted to go around her shoulders, tugging her closer to him so he could press a sweet kiss to the top of her head. "It's alright, Ella." She didn't need to be yelled at right now or lectured or anything like that. He was suddenly so grateful he hadn't left her on her own out here. (NT) -- Kaden, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 12:42am PDT
  • Her lower lip trembled a little when his arm went around her, but she scooted closer to the comfort of his warm, familiar side. At his kiss to her head, her eyes slid lightly shut for a long moment, and then fluttered open again to meet his gaze, head ducked shamefully. "I don't even know why I do this..." She admitted finally, regret lining her voice and her far-too-young features. She never defined 'this', but she was speaking mostly on the whole - about everything that she did in general. (NT) -- Ella, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 9:15am PDT
  • He sighed softly, his eyes sliding shut at her pain and the fact he had no idea how to help her. He just wrapped his arm tighter around her, tugging her closer to him so he could draw her into his lap and hug her close to his body - as if his arms could block out all the demons that were chasing her. His hand soothed through her hair as he pressed a kiss to her jaw, feeling the light trembles going through her form was driving him crazy - he just wished he knew what he could do for her... (NT) -- Kaden, Sat, Jun 25 2005, 10:00am PDT
  • Once in his lap, her eyes shut tightly again to push away the tears and she ducked her face into his neck. One hand twisted into his shirt at his stomach and her other crossed under her chest - hugging herself. A soft breath slipped from her gently parted lips and brushed his neck. She hated feeling like this and she hated that he was so good to her and all she ever did was lie and pretend, and mostly she hated that she knew exactly how to make herself feel better - because it would just make everything else a whole lot worse. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, Jun 26 2005, 12:42pm PDT

  Tolerance and understanding wasn't her forte, to say the least. She was highly strung and stubborn, and a little too mouthy at times. While she rarely started fights for the hell of it- she didn;t stand back and let anyone take her for a ride. It was something along those lines which found her in her current situation, lip bleeding and blonde hair messed up, landing a clenshed fist to another girls cheek and clutching at her hair. She was all fire and attitude this one, hard as nails as far as everyone could see- and noone ever saw anything else.

    • She set her jaw and glared at him as he released her, pushing him away from her before turning off to walk toward the wall for a sit down... she knew she needed to chill but that girl and her friends had been gunning for her for weeks and they'd pissed her off one too many times. She touched a hand to her lip, it wasn;t swollen or anything, the girl had just caught it on a fake bit of bling "Bitch.." She mumbered to herself as she felt the blood. She pursed her lips and glanced up to the guy who'd torn her away... if he hadn't she doubted she;d have stopped... when it got ahold of her like that there was no stopping her.

Moving on over here now. -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:05pm PDT
It was like a shock of electricity that ran through her form at his absent touch, her eyes sliding shut at first before she opened to see if he had felt it too. it made her pulse jump, her heart leap up into her throat but she was determined not to how him how much he affected her. Instead, she let out a slow breath and took a long drink of her alcohol before she answered him. "Yeah, don't have a real hang out type crowd." She stated absently, not looking for pity in the least. It had always been like that, just being on her own and she was more then used to it. She enjoyed it that way...really.

• He didn't believe in pity, and so offered none - only a slight nod of agreement and understanding. "Yeah, me neither." He had friends, he supposed, but felt few true connections and wasn't really interested in much more. The truth was, he never really felt completely understood by anyone, and that made it hard for him to make any sort of effort to associate too often with others. He just didn't see much of a point. Raising his cool glass to his lips once more, he set the glass back down and then looked over to her once more. He didn't know why he was so drawn to her, but he just was, and that bothered him for so many different reasons. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:09pm PDT
• She cocked a brow at him curiously as he looked back to her before she leaned back, one elbow resting on the edge of the bar. "so you just come here to sit by yourself and drink?" She questioned curiously, she hardly believed that he didn't come here for the purpose of finding a girl to go home with. She scanned the crowd, absently picking out potentials for him with a slightly bitter twinge in her mind and chest. Her hand that wasn't supporting her shifted to brush back the stray hair again, the curls could be a little unruley at times, thick black spirals moving in her eyes and across her delicate jaw. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:13pm PDT
• "I come here to sit, and drink, yeah. That's pretty much it." He stated with a slight shrug and an almost sheepish smirk. He didn't really know how else to explain it. That was the truth. If he couldn't identify with other people, every once in a while he just needed to be surrounded by them in a situation that had nothing to do with his job. So it may not make sense to her, but he wasn't too sure how to explain it to make sense. His eyes - deep in their blue tone, but the grey flecks added a cool, dark edge - lingered over her even as her gaze drifted, as if he was trying desperately to figure out why he wanted so much right now for this girl not to walk away. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:24pm PDT
• She met his gaze fully, her eyes watching him for a second before she murmured softly, her lips parting only slightly as the words escaped her mouth. "What are you hoping to see?" She questioned softly, her head cocked to the side as she studied him. He kept looking at her like he was trying to figure her out and for a moment she considered informing him that it was pointless. No one would ever understand, least of all him. There was such a mix of emotions when it came to him, anger, bitterness, hurt, desire, lust, curiosity, need.... (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:34pm PDT
• "The future. Answers to all my questions about life, love, and happiness." His tone took on a teasing edge to combat the seriousness, and curiously enough, his eyes shifted to the bartender when she met his gaze squarely - as if he wasn't quite ready for that. A hand ran slowly through his hair and then he finished off the remnants of his drink before he tipped his chin back in a silent request for yet another fresh one. When all else failed... Drink. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 7:40pm PDT
• "Life, I can tell you all about - the other two just aren't my cup of tea." She stated with a smirk before she finished off her drink and pushed it aside. Her eyes went back to the dancefloor before she stood up and stretched her arms over her head. She got so antsy so easily and, as stimulating as his conversation was, it was hard to keep her attention for any length of time. She was always moving, tapping, wiggling, it had gotten her scolded by her mother all the time when she was alive - especially during church she would get so bored and wiggle and her mother would take her out in the hallway and scold her and then let her run around the parking lot to get her energy out... (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:16pm PDT
• "I'm pretty sure that I've got love figured out, and that it doesn't correlate to happiness in any way." He added on with a wink and a slight smirk of his own - though he hadn't ever really been in love, and wasn't even too sure how many people he had ever loved, period. It wasn't something that he dealt with. Souls like his longed for things that he couldn't have, and to love would be to deny that longing, so he just didn't even bother because there was no point. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:21pm PDT
• She smirked at that, shaking her head. "And I thought I was the one with the negative world view." She stated before she looked back to the dancefloor. "I think I am going to go dance." She wasn't good at the small talk, she was used to defending herself and causing trouble and that was generally it. Plus, the feelings he envoked weren't welcome nor overly settling and she wanted to clear her head. Even though he was the one who had come to her, she wasn't entirely sure he wanted her company... (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:29pm PDT
• "I'm a realist, not a pessimist." He assured her with a soft laugh and a shake of his head, but then nodded slowly at her statement. "Sure... I'll be here." That was about as much of an invite for her company should she ever tire of dancing that he would make to her right now, but it was there nonetheless. He watched her for a moment longer before nodding one final time and dropping his gaze back to the amber colored liquid at the bottom of his glass, taking some solace in the warmth that softened his mind thanks to the ever faithful alcohol. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:34pm PDT
• She smiled lightly at that and nodded, her eyes moving over him before her hand shifted to lightly squeeze his leg before she headed off. "Order a water for me?" She requested, her way of saying she would be back before she headed off to the dancefloor. It wasn't long before she had partners lining but she obviously wasn't interested in any of them. She spent a few songs on the dancefloor before a girl beckoned her over and she spent a few minutes chatting with her. A smirk played over her face as she headed back to the bar, grabbing the stool next to him once again. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:40pm PDT
• Her brief touch was enough to reassure him, and he offered a final smile and a bit of a nod before she left. As she danced, he only glanced back every once in awhile to check on her - he had her beautiful image burned in her mind already and didn't need a reminder if it meant he would look just like every one of the other men there ogling over her. When she returned, he had a fresh, cold water waiting for her and a just refilled scotch in hand, and the corners of his lips were turned up in the hint of a smile. "And she returns..." (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:43pm PDT
• She smirked lightly, fingers trailing over her glass before she shifted to hand him a piece of paper with a number jotted on it. "The blonde with the bright orange drink and tight pants wanted to know if we were together. After informing her otherwise, she wanted me to give you this and her regards." The girl had said quite a bit else about what she would be willing to do with him but even Lysia wasn't brazen enough to repeat that at this moment, besides, she was a little reluctant to send him in the direction of someone else as it was. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:49pm PDT
• He laughed softly at that and glanced over to the woman with a slight nod of acknowledgment, then waved his bartender buddy over and slid the other man the piece of paper with a wink. He wasn't interested for a few reasons: he didn't take phone numbers, he didn't really like the idea of hooking up with a girl through Lysia, and besides... The woman was blonde. He wasn't really into blondes. "Thanks, I guess." He winked with a slight smirk and then raised his drink to his lips again. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 8:56pm PDT
• She cocked a brow, her eyes sliding over him for a second before she spun around on her stool, gazing around at the crowd before looking back to him. "She's not your cuppa, huh?" She questioned, before she rolled her eyes. "Damn, been hanging around Kaden to much, him and all his damn britishisms." She smirked lightly before she pointed out a tall, willowly girl with dark brown hair and a slightly bohemian look with the long flowy skirt and tight brown and tan tank top that wrapped around her torso. "What about her, more along your lines?" She questioned, a teasing smile playing on her face. She could play it cool. Damn right she cosiauld. (NT) -- Ly, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:00pm PDT
• "Mmm, doesn't do much for me, no." As she spun around, so did he - but more slowly, almost hesitantly. He could play along, he supposed, though he didn't typically like picking girls out of a crowd. But if it kept her entertained, then hell, he didn't care. There was no harm in admitting what he was attracted to. At her gesture towards the boho brunette, he just smirked and shook his head slowly. "Not hardly. Try again, woman." (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:05pm PDT
• She pursed her lips, her brow furrowed as she surveyed their surroundings, skipping over the blondes since that had obviously not interested him. It took her a moment before she leaned over closer to him so that she could see and direct his eyes better, her shoulder resting against his. "There, her over in the corner." There was a dark haired girl, greek maybed, with olive features and long black hair, not quite as dark as Lysia's but close. She was wearing jeans that were torn at the knee's and up on her thigh, though nothing revealing just stylish and a white halter top that complimented her body and her skin tone. She was currently laughing at something her friend - blonde - was saying, before she sipped at her drink. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:10pm PDT
• As she leaned in, his arm raised to hook around her neck just for the heck of it. His eyes followed her direction and took in the dark-haired girl for a long moment before his head tipped back a little and he finally gave his verdict. "I'd like to paint her." That was a compliment for sure, but far different than admitting that he found her attractive - which he did - and wanted to sleep with her or just spend some time with her - which he didn't really. "Try again, cupid." (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:14pm PDT
• "I think your lying." She grinned though, her eyes scanning again once more before she pursed her lips and nodded towards another girl. "You can't tell me you wouldn't want her in your bed." She indicated towards another tall girl, also with dark hair but she was more exotic looking, maybe brazilian. Her eyes were lined and made up in a smokey appeal and she just looked like walking sex - confident that she had every mans eyes on her. Lysia noted the fact that he had his arm around her neck but she didn't acknowledge it outwardly, instead just leaned a bit more against his chest. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:20pm PDT
• "I could, but I won't..." He teased with a soft laugh, his arm tightening around her a little as she leaned in a little closer. "I like the one in white better though." Sure, the second hair fit every definition of sexy, but if he absolutely had to choose - he wasn't really feeling the second girl's attitude. None of them appealed to him enough that he would approach them though - of course, he very rarely, pretty much never, approached anyone. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:32pm PDT
• "She seems nicer, you go for the nice girls huh?" She questioned, looking up at him curiously. "Girl next door types?" She sounded almost bitter at that but she pushed that away, shifting a touch to grab her water but not leaving the tight embrace his arm was offering. She wasn't sure why she was playing this game with him, maybe just because it helped her learn a touch more about him and his tastes and whatnot. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 9:34pm PDT
• "Not really." He stated honestly and shrugged a little, leaning back against the bar but still holding her close to him, his arm dropping a little so that his fingers could run the length of her shoulders. She didn't seem anything like the girl-next-door, and she had been his most memorable companion by far. "I don't know what to tell you, Lysia." Some girls just did the trick for him - and others didn't. It wasn't like he was looking for a life partner. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:02pm PDT
• She shrugged a touch, her jaw setting stubbornly. "Not looking for any answers." She stated bluntly before she sighed, looking up at the clock as the 'tender announced last call. "Looks like the night is drawing to an end." She murmured, shifting to grab her purse and count out the money for her bill - remembering to tip the 'tender generously. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:05pm PDT
• "I got that..." He pushed away her money gently and tossed down enough to cover both of their tabs before shifting slowly off his stool - downing his final drink and nodding a goodbye to the bartender. He slowly pulled his zip-up hoodie back on and then looked to her uncertainly, a brow cocked. "You need a ride home?" Sure, he had been clear in his rule that one-night-stands didn't turn into two- and three-night-stands, but he wasn't heartless... He didn't want her walking or taking the bus or even hanging around waiting for a taxi at this time. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:14pm PDT
• She smiled in thanks at him paying for her drinks before she tensed a touch at his offer to drive her home. "Uh..no, no thanks, I am good." She shook her head, it wasn't like after being to his house she would tell him where she lived. A house that huge and old and in that part of town, he was sure to ask questions that she couldn't give him the answers too. Part of her just wanted to spend the night with him again but she couldn't ask or insinuate. She shifted a touch, her brow furrowed. "Not really planning on going home yet." Ok..maybe she could hint. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:46pm PDT
• "You sure?" At her comment about not heading home yet, he frowned a little - he was an intellectual person with complex thoughts and beliefs, but sometimes he was clueless. "Most places'll already be closed for the night..." He reminded her as a hand brushed her back absently - he didn't really like the idea of her, or any other solitary girl for that matter, running around there on their own at this hour. She would have trouble finding somewhere that was open to hang out... (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:51pm PDT
• She shrugged a touch at that, she just wasn't ready to go face the crowds at the house - she'd been hiding out from most of the people there recently. "I'll find something to do." If only he knew...she could kick his ass in a second, not ot mention most of the guys that wandered around the 'front. She wasn't open to talking about her home life, hell, she was just a kid really though she definately didn't look it and definately didn't act it - she was however, still a sixteen year old girl who occasionally had the thoughts of a sixteen year old girl and definately held some of the insecurities of a sixteen year old girl. Her jaw set as she met his eyes, tipping her head to the side. "Isn't this already breaking so many of your one night stand rules?" She had gotten the impression once he had conquered a girl, said girl never got a second glance. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 10:54pm PDT
• Girls like her made him really uncomfortable really quickly. He was the type who preferred to leave things unsaid, and she seemed the type to face things head on. At her question, he sighed and shoved both hands into the pockets of his jeans, head tipping back a little. "I don't have rules." That was a bit of a stretch, because he kind of did - guidelines more likely, he liked to think. He just didn't want to get himself involved in something that he couldn't deal with. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 11:00pm PDT
• Putting aside all her insecurities and most of her pride, she shifted to face him, cocking a brow as her hand went to rest on his chest, her lips forming an almost pout without her realizing it as she turned her bright green gaze to his. "Well if you don't have any rules, you wouldn't be breaking them...right?" She questioned, her hand sliding over the smooth muscle that she knew was hiding beneath the tee and the hoodie. "I'm not ready to go home and I am pretty sure your not to tired..." She smirked lighyly, almost coyly as she gazed at him. "You can't tell me you haven't been thinking about the other night, Travis." Her other hand shifted, brushing back her hair before she reached up and pressed a kiss to his neck, a place she had discovered he reacted strongly too. "This more your type?" Referring to herself, since he had turned down every other girl she had pointed out. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 11:08pm PDT
• Something about her scared him as much as it intrigued him, and try as he might to resist the pull he felt, he just couldn't. A low breath slipping from his lips, he hesitated a moment, but then dipped his head to kiss the side of her mouth, and then caught her lower lip between his to suck softly for a moment. When he drew back, a hand moved to the small of her back and he started to guide her in the direction of the exit, despite the warning bells ringing in his mind. "Right." (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 13 2005, 11:17pm PDT
• As her lips parted, his tongue took that as an invitation to taste her, slipping into her mouth and caressing the cavern quietly. She tasted just as sweet as he had thought she would. He continued the kiss for as long as he could before he realized they both needed to breathe. Breaking away, he tucked his face into her neck, closing his eyes and trying to calm his racing heart.

It was a night, what a night -- Joey, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 9:54am PDT
He had brought her out here with him only because she had seemed to just expect it. They were some sort of couple now and though he wasn't sure how to behave, he knew that going out and getting drunk at a bar without your girlfriend around probably wasn't the best thing on the books. As he headed into the bar, he looked at her one more time, cocking a brow. "You sure you don't want to call Lysia or something, so your not here with just me?" He didn't want to be entertaining her all night, he wanted to drink himself into an oblivion and then somehow drag his ass back to his room when the sun came up the next morning. He had always been moody, always been tempermental, he was just stuck in this rut...the therapists at the facility had always talked about him being depressed, even bordering manic depressive...

• She cocked a brow a touch and glanced over to him. She wasn;t sure how to deal with his moods, but she didn;t think him drinking himself into a state of unconsciousness would do much for him either. She wasn;t clingy or possessive, she liked to chill with him and she liked him a lot, and she guessed that had gotten to a 'relationship' status somehow... but she wasn;t the type that had to go everywhere with her boyfriend- she was just trying to look out for him. "Why? Do I need an escort now or something? c'mon... I want a drink" She felt like she was going to need one. She didn;t even get why he was in such a mood lately... sure the Lacey thing may have been bothering but she kinda figured that was resolved now. "I'll grab the booth in the corner" She headed over to the booth, the black dress she wore complimenting the spanish beauty's curves perfectly, her honey brown curls falling down her back in careless perfection. (NT) -- Nina, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 10:01am PDT
• "Because, sweetheart.." he growled out, raking a hand through his hair absently before he looked back down to her. "I plan on drinking, quite a bit, all night long and I wouldn't want you to be bored." He sighed as he watched her walk away before he went to the counter, grabbing a shot glass and ordering just a whole bottle of jack before he got her a vodka and cranberry. Heading over to the table, he slid into the booth, pushing her drink towards her as he popped open the drink. The shot glass was mostly for appearance, after the first few shots he would just be drinking out of the bottle. (NT) -- Joey, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 10:04am PDT
• She set her jaw and all put glared at him as he pretty much through her drink at her, pursing her full, sculpted lips and rolling her dark, smokey lined spanish eyes. "I guess I'll find ways to amuse myself." If she didn;t care about him as much as she did she;d be long gone... but things just didn;t work like that now- not with him. She took her drink and sipped at it as she glanced around quickly, gaging the place and keeping herself from blowing up at him. (NT) -- NIna, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 10:12am PDT
• He sighed deeply at that, insecurities arising in his chest as he thought about all the ways she could find to amuse herself in this place that was crawling with guys looking at her. His brow furrowed a touch, his eyes darkening as he looked around the room - he would have no problem taking out any guy who even thought about touching her. He poured a shot of the jack, taking it easily before he poured a second and slid it much more gently over to her. He had known he was going to be like this, he didn't seem to have any control over his thoughts and emotions anymore, it was why he had been so reluctant to have her accompany him. (NT) -- Joey, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 10:27am PDT
• She wasn;t trying to imply that she'd go looking for fuun with other guys, though she wouldnt be suprised if she knew he was thinking that- he didn;t seem to have much faith in her integrety. She glanced back over to him as he pushed a shot gently towards her. She lifted her dark gaze to him and took the shot, lifting it to her lips and knocking it back easily. She smirked a touch and handed him the shot glass back, shifting closer to him before she let her gaze wander again "You can talk to me you know..." (NT) -- Nina, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 10:40am PDT
• His fingers wrapped around the neck of the bottle, staring at the liquid swirling around in the dark glass before he looked back to her, his head cocked a curious look in his eyes. "I don't know what you want me to talk about." He stated absently, honestly. He was fine at just chatting but when it came to discussing what went on in his head, he was generally at a complete and total loss. (NT) -- Joey, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 11:07am PDT
• She just shrugged in return, she wasn;t good at heart to hearts either- she either yelled about her problems or kept them to herself- usually the latter... but she could feel a divide being built up between them rapidly and she;d do whatever it took to keep it down "Whatever helps... why you're so down and pissy lately.... if your bored of me... if jasons pissed you off... whatever...." (NT) -- Nina, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 11:14am PDT
• He frowned at that, taking a long drink of the jack straight from the bottle before he pushed it aside and drew her into his arms, against his chest. His lips found the side of her neck, just resting over her pulse for a few long moments before he shook his head. "Your impossible to get bored with, Nina. It's not possible." He smiled lightly, tipping his head to the side as he tried to see her. "To damn unpredictable." (NT) -- Joey, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 11:19am PDT
• She smirked a touch as she shifted herself into his lap facing him, her dark eyes playing over his as her face remained so close to his, her lips finding his brefily before she spoke "Thats a good thing though right?" She snaked her arms around his neck slowly, her fingers trailing up the back of his head gently... she didn;t have a problem with him drinking... but if he could find the disraction in her so much the better. (NT) -- Nina, Fri, Jun 10 2005, 11:40am PDT
• "Keeps things interesting." He stated with a shrug, a smile playing over his lips briefly before he pressed a soft kiss to the smooth skin of her neck. "Sorry I am so pissy..." He grumbled reluctantly, not big on the whole apolagizing thing. She brought out the need for him to be a bit more sensative though, like she had been treated so badly in the past and he wanted to show her that not all men were self seeking jerks. It was hard though, when he had such inner turmoil going on at all times. It was like his brain, heart and emotions were all constantly battling each other... (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 11:57am PDT
• She smirked a little, as if to keep from laughing, her honey brown eyes dancing over his "Keeps things interesting..." She replied in response to his apology. She smirked and dipped her lips to his , kissing him once more before she sat up a little and reached behind her for two shot glasses and the JD "Aight... well if your gonna get shit faced we're gonna have fun doing it.... " (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:06pm PDT
• He cocked a brow, watching her a touch as she handled the bottle of JD. "How you handle your liquor, baby doll?" He questioned softly, tipping his head to the side with a playful smile. Just like that his mood changed so easily, from tense and withdrawn to easy going and almost teasing. The man was a walking contradiction. He never was the same from hour to hour - she was right, he definately did keep things interesting. (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:14pm PDT
• She smirked and arched a brow, tipping her own head to him "Not bad... just dont let me drink champagne or tequila" She pours a couple of shots and hands him one, setting the bottle behind her on the table again "Gargle it for a minute before you swallow baby boy.... lets see how well you handle your liquor." (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:22pm PDT
• He smirked, tipping his head to the side. He had kind of always pictured himself with a girl next door type, definately never imagined the girl on his lap who was instructing him on how to take a shot. It kept life interesting though, as that seemed to be the tone of the evening. After those shots were taken, he winked and ran his fingers through her hair lightly, shifting her in his lap a touch. (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:30pm PDT
• The strangest thing was she could be the life of the party one night and the next night she'd be content to curl up on the couch with a disney movie... she just fit herself to the situations really, she was a fireball and a lot of fun, and then she was caring and protective and even, believe it or not, sensative. Complicated was perhaps a better word... but then again- so was he. After a number of shots were taken she was feeling much less tense and resentful of his mood- which in itself seemed to have dispersed a little. Her throat was burning and her belly felt like it was on fire, and she felt a little light headed. She grinned as he ran his fingers through her hair, her lips meeting his , tasting as much alcohol on his lips as their was on his own. (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:38pm PDT
• His fingers gently soothed through her hair tenderly, tugging softly on the curls before he reached around her to take another long drink out of the bottle. He slunk back farther into the booth, shifting her so she was straddling his lap, his lips meetings hers softly, slowly. He wasn't in any kind of rush, he was just drinking in the taste of her, the feel of her..he couldn't stop his fingers from dipping beneath the hem of her shirt, teasing against her stomach. (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:43pm PDT
• She let her eyes slide shut as she melted into his kiss, leaning down to him as she kept up the slow, intoxicating kiss, her fingers curling at his chest, her other hand snaking up the back of his head. She'd never known anyone kiss her like he did, it was usually fierce and hungry and rushed, in all aspects, but with him she felt entirely contradicted- while she felt secure in his arms she knew this was dangerous, while the kiss was tender there was such heat behind it. (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:49pm PDT
• Considering she was dramatically underage it was dangerous, if he wasn't intoxicated he probably wouldnt be so big on the PDA just because of the trouble it could cause, not because of anything to do with her personally. A smile crossed his lips as he drew back and brushed back her hair softly, his brow cocked. "Not to bad a night so far, huh?" He questioned softly, his hand trailing down her hip, kneading there gently. (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 12:57pm PDT
• She smirks and brushed the tip of her nose against his a moment before she tipped her chin up a couch, her smirk less cocky than usual, softer. "Not too bad... feeling reasonably intoxicated and light headed, enjoying the company I'm in... mm... not too bad at all." She didn;t really pay any thought to this being public, she may only be sixteen but she didn;t look it- or act it. And he was taking far too much of her attention for her to think twice about any of this. (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 1:15pm PDT
• He smiled softly, his hand running over her stomach before he leaned back just a touch farther again, yawning gently as he tipped his head back. "Relaxed..." He murmured softly, pouring another shot and taking it easily. He was buzzed, definately buzzed but not yet the level of intoxication he had wanted to be at for the day. Instead he just sighed softly, tipping his eyes to her sweetly. "So beautiful, Nina." (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 1:19pm PDT
• She didn't want any more shots- not yet at least, so she reached for her long drink and sipped at it easily. She knew that as soon as she stood up it'd go straight to her head. She smirks softly at his words, she loved that he described her as beautiful or pretty... she only usually ever got 'hot' or 'sexy' which made her feel a touch cheap. "We should go chill on the beach later... its warm out... find somewhere quiet..." Her lips met his once more, tenderly but breifly, pulling back almost teasingly as her fingers sooth down his chest slowly (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 1:34pm PDT
• "Mmmm...sounds like a plan." He stated softly, he had planned on just getting so drunk that he passed out and had to call jason to come get him, but the idea of rolling around with her in the sand was much more appealing. A grin crossed his features as she teased him, shaking his head a touch. "Finish up your drink love, we'll take the bottle with us." Now she had gone and gotten him all worked up. (NT) -- Joey, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 1:37pm PDT
• She smirked a little and knocked back the rest of the drink, pressing another kiss to his lips before she slipped off his lap, climbing out of the booth. She felt a little unsteady and she did indeed feel the alcohol rush to her head, but she kept her balence and didn;t even show her unsteadiness. She quite welcomed the idea of getting out of here- especially to roll around in the sand with him. She grinned and pushed her honey brown curls back over her shoulders, smoothing out the little black dress that complimented her so well. (NT) -- Nina, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 1:49pm PDT

she was in the habit of taking things for granted
granted there wasn't much for her to take
and the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change.. -- Sarah, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 3:07am PDT
She had rather enjoyed herself that night, despite the slight abuse of alcohol, Blake had made everything seem much brighter, even if there was the ugly prospect of having to tell her brother. She couldn't help but notice him in some bar, looking all sexy like he did. She couldn't see her brother out here so she made her way over to him, giving him a hug from behind as she tip toed to whisper in his ear "Hey.."

• He smirked a little and glanced over his shoulder at her, his hand capturing her wrist just gently in an almost possesive manner as she wrapped her arms around his from behind "Hey beautiful... I got some good news..." He was glad that this was all cleared with jax... he was his best friend and he didn;t want that to be ruined. (NT) -- Blake, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 3:30am PDT
• She arched a brow at that, still on tip toe as she pressed a kiss to his chin "Oh..?" She had an inkling of what it might be .. but then, she would have thought her brother wouldn't have been quite so accepting of the idea of her and his best friend.. (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 3:34am PDT
• He turned around and leant back against the bar, winding his arms around her and holder her closely to him, his dark gaze flickering down over her beautiful face. An easy going smile tugged at his lips as he watched her "I talked to Jax about all this... and he;s fine about it..." Well- as fine as you could expect a big brother to be. If it was Jax and his little sister he wasn't sure how he'd feel about it... but his little sister was much too young for any of that, she was only sixteen. (NT) -- Blake, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 3:44am PDT
• She arched a brow at that , pressing a kiss to his lips - she wasn't so sure about this. Well, about her brother being fine with it all. She knew her brother. Sometimes he suppressed his true feelings about things, even if they did upset him a lot more than he wanted to show. Blake didn't seem to have any qualms about it, however, and her hands closed around his and she grinned a little "Does that mean you're gonna finally dance with me now..?" (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Jun 11 2005, 3:55am PDT

Sometimes I think I'm happy here, sometimes
Yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end
-- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 8:09pm PDT
Sunday nights were his favorites for a number of reasons. He typically worked Saturdays - it was usually quite helpful for his clients if he could work a day on the weekend - so took Sundays and Mondays off, making Sunday nights pretty much his Saturday nights. While most people hated Mondays, he liked them because it gave him a whole morning to sleep, and the rest of the day to do whatever he pleased. A man of schedules, he came out here every Sunday to sit in the dark of the sole bar on the strip that didn't play rap or R&B music, drank his scotch neat, and then went home the moment that he heard 'last call' - sometimes alone, sometimes with company. He liked things scheduled and monotonous because then there was nothing extra to stress him out or panic him - which he did quite easily - so he tried to stick to a routine with no big changes. Faded jeans fit to his slender hips, a black long-sleeved tee was just tight enough to outline the prominent muscles of a man who worked out regularly, and his black hair hung loosely and styled in it's usual non-style. Elbows resting on the bar, his broad shoulders were hunched and one hand was curled around his drink - a few spots of color marking his fingers where he hadn't quite scrubbed off all the paint. His eyes - a dark slate blue with steel grey flecks - were intense to meet, but focused only on the dark oak bar infront of him. He was there in body, but somewhere far, far away in mind and spirit...

• Your eyes of fire have stole my soul -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 8:50pm PDT
• He was so self-absorbed and involved in his own mind that he noticed nothing around him - except when he finished his scotch and was in need of a refill. Pushing away the glass, he sat up a little and raised his eyes to get the 'tender's attention - then just gestured at his empty, and had a fresh one in front of him moments later. Sometime during his brief awakening, while he was waiting for his drink, his dark gaze fell on her and didn't stray for sometime. He was anything but shy and thought nothing of looking for a long moment. Finally, he just nodded a fraction - almost approvingly - but then turned his stare back to the dark bar before him, hands content with their once again refilled drink. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 8:59pm PDT
• She let out a low breath at his nod, feeling something jump inside her chest. A small smirk caressed her features - maybe this wouldn't be such a slow night after all - as her eyes moved to the glass in front of her, she took a sip before she shifted off the stool, heading over to where the intriguing new guy was. Setting down her drink next to him, she leaned against the bar, a smirk playing over her lips as her green eyes focused on him. "Take it your not a 50 cent fan?" She smiled a touch, this was the only bar that played rock every night of the week, one of the reason she usually came out here. She was a big fan of classic rock, the hip hop and rap wasn't her scene, obviously from her appearance. (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:07pm PDT
• Even though he knew that she was approaching, and then she was standing beside him, and then putting down her drink, he didn't look over until she spoke. His smirk was delayed, but eventually it was there, though his response didn't come for a few more long moments - he was taking her in up close now. "I wonder if there could be a reason that people have shot him multiple times." He commented finally - his voice low and edgy, almost raspy - in all seriousness, before one lid dropped in a wink and he sat back a little, raising his drink to his full lips. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:15pm PDT
• She laughed softly at that, his responding to her giving her the encouragment she needed to slide up on the stool next to him. "I agree, its almost a shame none of the people who attempted it had any sort of aim." She smiled, taking another sip of the drink in front of her before she looked back over to him. "So, as corny as this sounds, you come here a lot?" She questioned, tapping her fingers to the sound of the Ramones against the bar counter. "I haven't seen you before, but then again, I am not usually here on Sunday nights..." She shrugged a touch, her green eyes going back to focus on him. (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:20pm PDT
• "Almost..." He agreed with a slow nod and then shifted slowly so that he was sitting a little more sideways on his stool - facing her more. He never had any problems with talking to attractive girls on his nights out - it was just one of the things that he looked forward not. Not that this place was a prime pick-up spot, but every once in a while he stumbled across a gem - or she stumbled across him, more likely. "Every Sunday night." He admitted after her comment about not usually being here on Sunday nights, as that same slow smirk returned to his features... (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:27pm PDT
• She smiled lightly, running her finger along the edge of the glass before she looked back up to him again. "I must be coming on the wrong night." She murmured almost playfully before she took a small sip of the alcohol. She had so many sides to her personality, she came off as kind of a bubbly type girl if she wanted too, she could be a complete bitch and she could be a perfectly competent fighter though not many people knew about that. Her eyes drifted over his features discreetly, tracing the fine lines of his face, his hair, the dark eyes...he was a gorgeous man and it was hard to tell why he was sitting here in a bar by himself every Sunday... (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:34pm PDT
• "Clearly... Clearly you are..." He agreed slowly with a bit of a smile, one hand draped between his knees and the other raising his drink to his lips one more time. He was much less subtle while checking her out - his eyes appreciative as they studied her features, and then drifting down her torso, lingered on her soft hips and then her slender legs. He was an artist before he was a man and was admiring her lines as much as he was admiring her other 'talents'. "What's a girl like you doing out here?" Not to imply anything about her, but on the whole this wasn't a popular place for lone females to be hanging out. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:42pm PDT
• She laughed at that, shaking her head. "Never understood that question, really, what kind of girl do you suppose I am?" By saying, 'a girl like you', it gave off the impression that the guy knew what kind of girl she was and really, know one knew what kind of girl she was except for her. She really was a beautiful girl, her face perfectly balanced, even and delicate but sharp at the same time, distinct. Her lips were soft and round and her eyes were a bright shade of green but it was there that she looked so much older, more worldly, more hardened then she should. She had the eyes of a girl who had seen way to much in her life. (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:47pm PDT
• He saw all of that - every flaw, every hint of fear and anger - even if he didn't understand any of it. A girl had dumped him once because she said that he creeped her out - she felt like every time he looked at her it was like he was reading her thoughts. At her question, he grinned a little and tipped his head back, one brow cocked. "I guess I was more interested in - what are you doing out here, as a girl? 'Case you hadn't noticed, you're outnumbered four or five to one. Mix those odds with a few drinks and a little bit of loneliness, and it's only a matter of time before you get into trouble." He wasn't lecturing at all, and definitely not threatening, simply inquiring. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 9:56pm PDT
• She couldn't help but laugh a touch at his explanation of his question, her green eyes playing over him for a second before she shrugged bare shoulders, pushing her dark hair off of them so it all fell down her back. "Maybe I am looking for some trouble." She grinned, winking teasingly before she flagged down the tender for another drink. Her eyes went back to him before after she had placed her order, cocking a brow curiously. "Whats a guy like you doing in a place like this? Obviously not trying to find a girl, since the pickings are so slim, as you pointed out." (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 10:22pm PDT
• "Huh." Was his only response as he thought about that one for a moment - so he wasn't always the most articulate person, but his mind was always working. He got himself a fresh drink as well while the bartender was around before answering her question, a slight smirk curling his features. "Maybe I'm gay." He suggested, though that was quite an unlikely option, so he just shrugged, winking slowly again. "I go out on Sunday nights. I like the dark, and I don't like rap, and so I could come here... Or go to a movie. They don't serve scotch at the movies." (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 10:31pm PDT
• She nodded slowly, lips posing in a thoughtful part as she looked around the bar slowly, her back resting against the bar now as she let her eyes run over each person in the bar before she looked back to him. "If your gay, your still in the wrong place, pickings are slim on that side of the field too." She sighed deeply, obviously feeling badly for his predictament - the whole teasing him with the charade. "Sucks to be you tonight..." She grinned with a playful wink before she picked up her drink, taking a long slip before she made a face. "Double shot of vodka, didn't ask for that." Focusing back on his last sentance, she took that in before she spoke again. "Right, you could take your own scotch in though and not have to deal with smalltalk coming from a stranger." (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 10:44pm PDT
• For a moment, he was silent as if he was genuinely thinking that one through, then tipped his head forward a little once he had come to his conclusion. "But on the off chance that I may run into strangers of your nature, I would rather come here. I prefer my women in the flesh to on the screen." He pointed out rather seriously, and then smirked amusedly at her disapproval of her drink - an extra shot never hurt much - before sipping at his own. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 10:49pm PDT
• She nodded a touch, thinking on that with a unnecessary serious before she spoke. "Yeah, besides, no good movies out now anyways." She grinned, winking teasingly at him before she looked over her shoulder at the bartender, shaking her head at the girl who she had been becoming acquainted with when she started frequenting this place. "Thanks, Terri!" She grinned, shaking her head before she looked back to him, her eyes running over him not to discreetly before she looked back to her drink, this was the part the guy usual initaited his intrest and she turned him down but she had a feeling nothing was going as it usually did... (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 10:58pm PDT
• "That is also true." He agreed without hesitation - though in truth he really had no idea what was out right now, but he would take her word for it. He fell silent for another moment - it wasn't his style to make a move. While he wouldn't hesitate to express his interest or appreciation, he just wasn't out there to pick up girls - though he definitely didn't mind when he happened to go home with one. "So I'm here because there are no good movies out... And you're here because maybe you're looking for some trouble. What's your name?" (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:05pm PDT
• "Lysia." She offered, tipping her head to the side as she gazed at him curiously. "Whats yours?" She was interested, there was no doubt there, she just wanted to figure out how she could get him to invite her home. It was rare she got such a vibe for a guy and she was really feeling him though he was a little harder to read. It seemed like he was studying her everytime he looked at her and she was a little unsure what he was looking for but the gaze sent shivers down her spine.. (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:12pm PDT
• "Pretty." He commented with a slight nod - she wasn't the type of girl who suited a 'common' name, like Sarah, or something. Though he had no idea really what type of girl she was, he was pretty sure of that much at least. "Travis." He offered with a slow nod and then finished his drink, but hesitated a moment before ordering himself a fresh one and speaking again. "Are you out here with anyone tonight?"

• She shook her head, finishing off her cranberry and vodka before she shifted to stand up, stretching her arms over her head. She got restless quickly and hated to be in one place to long, it left her feeling vulnerable, like someone could come and snatch her up just because she wasn't paying enough attention. After stretching her body, she swayed absently to the thumping sounds of 'Rebel Yell'. "Nope..all by myself..and I scanned the crowd for an angry girlfriend when I came over here - didn't see one - so I am guessing your by yourself also?" (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:24pm PDT
• He was pretty much the opposite - could sit there until last call if nothing else was proposed, so he watched her curiously as she shifted. As she stretched, his eyes travelled from the tips of her fingers all the way down to the point of her boots and then slowly back up again before he shook his head ever so slightly and spoke again. "She's waiting in the car. My girlfriend that is." Obviously he was teasing again, but he maintained a mostly straight face. (NT) -- Travis, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:28pm PDT
• Well, he'd probaly never been chased by people who like to see him dead or in jail. That made a person a little nervous. She tapped out the beat absently on the bar as she sang along quietly before he spoke again, her eyes going to his as she responded. "Hope you cracked the window for her." She stated seriously, nodding a touch before she looked back to the 'tender and called her back over for another drink, this time deciding to just go with a double shot of jegger to finish off her night - it was get her happily buzzed, close to being drunk but not quite over the line. (NT) -- Lysia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:39pm PDT
• He most certainly hadn't. Hell, he had never even been in a fight before. He boxed though, so he sparred a couple times a week, but the guy opposite him was never interested in killing him or sending him to jail. It was hardly comparable. Brows furrowing, he feigned concern, head tipping back a little. "You know, I think I forgot to do that... Think she'll be okay?" His eyes followed her for a long moment - she was getting restless, but he wasn't sure that there was anything he could do about it yet - and then he raised his drink to his lips once again. (NT) -- Travia, Sun, Jun 05 2005, 11:51pm PDT
• She smirked a touch at that, shaking her head playfully. "Looks like you'll have to get a new pet, its hot as hell out there tonight." She glanced down at the shot before she wrapped her fingers around it, tipping her head back and taking it like a champ with just a shake of her head afterwards indicating how it burned its way down her throat and into her stomach. "You live around here?" She questioned softly, her eyes travelling over him warmly, there was no hiding the slight hint of desire on her gaze. She was attracted to him, intrigued by him... (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:00am PDT
• "I think I can handle that. She was getting old anyway." He smirked a little and then watched her wordlessly while she downed her shot, and then responded to her question with a slow nod. "Ten minutes... An old building on Sentinel Hill..." He informed her, referring to the older part of town nearby. Despite it's age, it was well-kept and the apartments in the buildings were on the higher end of the cost spectrum. He loved the arcitecture and was inspired by the atmosphere. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:07am PDT
• She nodded slowly, taking in that information before she offered another question. "Live by yourself?" She put away the fact that he lived in the rich part of town for thought on later - there was no way she could take him back to the house - she'd seen how Joey and Jason had reacted to Lacey having a relationship, hell even just a friendship, with someone who could put them all at risk, she wasn't going to let anyone find out about anything she did outside of the house. The only one she had to avoid was Kaden really, he was the only one who was ever out here on the 'front. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:09am PDT
• "Completely alone." He assured her with a slow nod - he suspected she was testing the waters, and he didn't mind answering whatever questions she was interested in. Glancing to his watch and then to her again, he ran one hand slowly through his hair. "Been thinking I should get a dog, or a cat, or fish or something... Haven't quite gotten around to it yet." He added with a slight shrug, just for the sake of it. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:15am PDT
• That did set some things at ease in her mind - she wasn't into making guys cheat, no matter what kind of persona she tossed around at the house. A smile crossed her face as she thought about what he had said. "You should get a dog, I always wanted a dog, never been in a place where I could have one though. I think I would get something that looks mean, but is really a big baby, like a pitbull or rottweiler or something..." She shrugged a touch, a little wistful. She would love to have a puppy but again, not exactly led the kind of life to bring a dog along with her. She noted him checking his watch, her brow furrowed. "Am I keeping you?" (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:18am PDT
• "I just want to make sure I would have enough time for it..." He commented after her suggestion, smiling slightly - he worked a lot, and a puppy in his chaotic apartment would probably be a dicey situation. It was tempting though. He could use a little loyal company. "No, no, not at all..." He frowned a little, tone almost apologetic - that had been rude, and he was trying to subtly encourage her, not the opposite. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:25am PDT
• She smiled a touch as he was quick to assure her that she wasn't keeping him. "Thought you suddenly got concerned about the girl in the car." She teased quietly, leaning against the bar again, her eyes on him. "So no plans for the night?" This beating around he bush was getting to her, she was waiting for just a solid sign of yes and no, maybe not a verbal one but some kind of hint. A low breath escaped her lips as she ran her tongue over her lips, tasting the residual alcohol lingering there... (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:31am PDT
• "No plans." He assured her as he too began to grow impatient, then responded to her first comment. "Not so concerned, but maybe I should go check on her." He suggested as he downed the rest of his drink, his dark gaze lingering on her, dropping to her lips, and then flitting up again to her eyes once more. They were passing the small talk point and getting to the time where a decision had to be made about the next step, and he was getting a little anxious to have that decision made. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:36am PDT
• She cocked a brow at that, her eyes moving towards the door before she looked back to him. "She could have escaped you know, some girls are smart like that." She grinned slowly, reaching down for her purse to get out the cash to pay for the drinks. "I could help you check on her, wouldn't want you to face the shock of finding her either gone or dehydrated by yourself, it can be a little rough you know." So, the offer of going to go check on his girlfriend who he left locked in the car with the windows up [so their story went] wasn't the most logical way to ask if she was going to home with him, but it would work she supposed. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:43am PDT
• "Yeah, and that walk from here to my car at this time of night is sometimes a little sketchy. I could use the moral support." He assured her, adding some cash to the bar for the rest of his drinks as well before he stood slowly - finally reaching his full, reasonably impressive height before her - to tuck his wallet back into his pocket and dig out his car keys. There was no need to waste any more time now - they would atleast leave together, that much was decided. Whether she would get in his car and go home with him was yet to be determined, but they had made it this far. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:46am PDT
• She laughed softly, nodding a touch as she slung her purse over her shoulder. "I can understand that..." She'd be taking the bus home later, that few dollars had been the last of her paycheck and she didn't get paid again till thursday so free activities it was for her till then at least. Unless she could bum some many off of one of the guys - though all the guys in the house were suddenly devoted to one girl or anything, it was getting annoying. "Come on, I'll watch your back." She grinned, heading out of the quieting bar onto the street that had some people wandering around, thanks to last call having just occured in most places (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:55am PDT
• "Perfect." He assured her with a smirk, a hand brushing slowly down her back as she walked ahead of him, eyes taking in the view from his new position until he was once more at her side for the short stroll from the club to his car. He always parked in a nearby lot because he didn't mind the cost and preferred to spend as little time as possible hanging outside around there... (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 12:58am PDT
• She led the way out the door, the feeling of his fingers on her back sending a shiver of pleasure up her spine. "Where is your car?" She questioned softly, her eyes turning to him as she paused. She wanted to go home with him, to spend a night getting to know his body even if she couldn't get to know him as a person. She bit her lip lightly, shifting her weight on the heeled leather boots. She didn't normally go home with strangers, the people she had slept with since she had gotten out consisted of the boys in the house. It was all about physical pleasure with them, not so much feelings or intrigue, well except Jason, but that was another story all together. (NT) -- Lysia, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 10:18pm PDT
• As they neared his car - a revamped gun-metal grey '74 Plymouth Duster - his hand moved to her back once more, and trailed slowly up and then back down to brush over her hip - applying a light amount of pressure to direct her. Stopping in front of the passenger door, he unlocked it and held it open for her to get in - there was no more need for banter or beating around the bush. He was relatively certain that she had walked out here with every intention of getting in that vehicle. (NT) -- Travis, Mon, Jun 06 2005, 10:45pm PDT

Cocaine and innocence
Romeo's waiting
Candies and sugar daddies
They never stop wasting your time
Time to dance to the top
With champagne indifference
And I sit salivating
If I could touch you there...
Would you be liberated? -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 8:30pm PDT
The past few days she had been tense but as the bruises started to fade she had started to go back out at night while he had just sat by and waited for her to come back in the early hours of the dawn. He was getting sick of standing by why she did who knows what with whoever she was with and decided - in his usual rash manner - that he was going to follow her wherever she went. He had been tailing her for the past few hours, watching her go in and out of each bar and then come back out before he would follow her to the next. His dark duster provided him easy camoflauge even though he didn't really needed it - he slipped easily through the crowds without anyone thinking twice about him.

• She had run out of cash fast and so was forced back out here before the bruises had completely disappear - but the ones on her wrists were almost invisible in the dim light, and the marks on her face were easily concealed by cosmetics. Without too much trouble, she had stumbled across a regular and had been chatting with him at the bar in one of the seedy clubs for a while - the guy was typically a decent client. He was always good for the money, and never really took things too far, but seemed a little different that night and she was a little leery when he finally suggested that they get out of there. She needed the money though, and atleast she kind of had an idea what this guy was like, so she allowed him to lead the way out. Though a smile touched her lips as she laughed at something the man said - his hand on her hip, caressing her backside as they emerged onto the street - her eyes were dark and distant, telling a different story... (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 8:43pm PDT
• He frowned heavily, tossing the cigarette to the ground and crushing it with the heel of his heavy boot. He didn't like the way that guy was touching her and besides he was way to old for Ellie. Quietly he headed after them, the duster ruffling in the wind giving him an almost cloak like appearance as he trailed them. He didn't want to be caught yet, he couldn't say for sure that this was the man who hurt her so he didn't want to rush into any confrontations. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 8:53pm PDT
• She was completely detached and barely aware of her surroundings, so of course didn't notice him. Urging him to call a taxi - the sooner they left, the sooner she could be done for the night - she waiting patiently as he pulled out his phone, as there were no free cabs hanging around right then. With a short wait ahead of them, the impatient man tugged her with him into the shadows for something of a preview to what lay ahead - and she was in no position to refuse him, so she went along, doing her best not to cringe at his sloppy, rough hands on her flesh. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 8:57pm PDT
• He frowned, closing in as he saw them step into the hallway. What he saw there repulsed him, literally sent bile into his throat. His hand went to the wall as he collected himself before he took a step forward, clearing his throat. His voice was completely steady, his expression mocking as he made himself known, casually lighting a cigarette. "Girl doesn't look like she's enjoying herself nearly as much as you are, mate." He stated softly, his voice holding a chilled tone. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:08pm PDT
• She inhaled sharply at the sound of his voice and all but jumped away from the man, who looked immediately infuriated - almost as mad at her as if she had invited this boy to mock him. All she had time for was to let Kaden's name slip mournfully from her lips - she never wanted him to see her like this - but could say nothing more because her patron interrupted with a slurred growl that wasn't really intelligible but the meaning was something derogatory along the lines of 'get lost, kid'. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:14pm PDT
• "You know, I was thinkin' of doing just that but I think I'll take the girl with me when I go." he took a step forward, his eyes narrowing at the man with a low growl in his tone. He hadn't been who he was back in the day for no reason, from the time he had been all of twelve years old he'd had this steel quality to him, like he knew no fear and didn't believe in shutting his mouth. It was a quality that gotten him far in the world that he had lived him and sent him to the top of a ladder he shouldn't have been climbing in the first place. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:16pm PDT
• "Kaden..." She pleaded almost tearfully and almost recoiled - this wasn't her, and this wasn't how she wanted him to think of her. The man with her took that as a boost to his confidence - as if she actually would prefer to stay with him - and stepped right up to the arrogant boy. He was a big man - muscled and meaty, and full grown - moreso than the teenager standing infront of him. And he was almost impatient and proud - not interested in having his evening ruined or his ego injured. "I don't think so." (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:20pm PDT
• "I think so mate, hate to ruin your night and all, but you do know that she's definately not of legal age, don't you? Wouldn't want that to sodder your little record would you?" his eyes drifted down to the mans hand. "What the little wife think of that? Knowin' you were running around taking advantage of little girls in alley ways..." He tsk'd, shaking his head as he took a long drag off the cigarette, exhaling it to the side before he tipped his head and looked up to the man who could obviously beat the shit out of him. While Kaden was good in a fight, he would definately land some hits, he was at a definate disadvantage as far as size went. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:24pm PDT
• Men like this guy in these situations didn't use words to solve their problems, especially when reputations were at stake. Without opening his mouth again, the large man took a lumbering swing in the kid's direction - if it hadn't been a total sucker punch, chances were Kaden would have been fast enough to be able to get out of the way. Instead, the sickening sound of fist on flesh followed an instant later - sucking the breath from Ella's lungs as if she had been the one hit. (NT) -- ELLA, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:32pm PDT
• He was pushed back by the force of the blow, hitting the wall hard caused him to have the breath knocked out of him, his hand going to his jaw as he shook his head and tried to clear away the stars. "Adding assault on a minor to the list, your looking at a long time behind the bars mate." He growled out, raising his cold gaze again, not about to back down but not dumb enough to strike out unless he was sure he could get the older man off his feet. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:45pm PDT
• "Get out of here, Kaden..." She pleaded as she reached out to touch the older man's arm in an attempt to grab his attention. All she got was a glare though, and almost in the way of the his backswing as the guy grabbed Kaden and pounded him once, twice more. This kid just wouldn't shut up, so he was going to have to shut him him - despite the young girl's cries to stop. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:52pm PDT
• He took the blows, shifting to take the least of the other mans weight before he finally saw his chance. He got in a swing to the other mans jaw, distracting him for a second before he raised his knee to the mans groin, shoving him backwards before he grabbed Ella's wrist. "Lets go." He growled, none to happy with her either, tugging on her, he started at a brisk jog out of the alley and away from the man groaning on the ground. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 9:58pm PDT
• She could barely run in her heels, but she did as best as she could - luckily they would have to run too far. The brute was down for the count and they were quick and small and disappeared easily into the crowds. The moment that they could stop jogging, she jerked her hand away from him and gave his shoulder a shove - not willing to wait until they got home. "What the hell are you doing, Kaden?" She didn't care about what happened to her - the thing was that he was all banged up and he really shouldn't be. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:05pm PDT
• His eyes were flashing as he glared at her, catching his breath before he straightened. "What the hell I am I doing?!" He growled out. "What the bloody hell do you think your doing!?" He shook his head. "You were letting that sod paw all over you like you were some kind of...of.." He growled, shaking his head before his eyes narrowed on her purse, without hesitating, before she could even blink he had the purse off of her and into his hands, opening it up and withdrawing the large sum of cash. His jaw set and he had to look away to control his temper... (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:07pm PDT
• "That is none of your business!" She exclaimed and grabbed her purse back, resisting the urge to hit him or push him - the way he was bleeding all over the place it looked like he had gotten enough of that. "Don't say it, Kaden. Don't say it." She stated firmly just as her voice started to shake, jaw trembling as she stepped back from him and waved for a waiting taxi up the street. She needed to get out of this place - away from the inquiring gazes. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:17pm PDT
• "What the hell could make you need money that badly, Ella?" He questioned softly, his voice almost betrayed sounding. She had been the spark of a good thing in his life, the innocence, the light in a dark world that he lived in and now...now it seemed everything had been a lie. Everything was always a lie, nothing was ever real for him. To think he could have met someone who wasn't...like him...and would have looked twice? It was ludicrious, he didn't get breaks like that. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:20pm PDT
• She didn't answer that, just shook her head slowly from where she stood at the curb with her back to him, waiting for the cab to pull up, tears rolling down her cheeks. She slipped into the backseat and slid across to the other side, and just waited for him to get in - if he chose not to, well, she wasn't leaving until he did, so she would just wait. She just couldn't speak to him right then - as much because she didn't trust her choked voice as because she had no idea what she could say to him. Never before had she felt like such a disappointing loser. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:24pm PDT
• He hesitated for a second before he slid in next to her, letting his head rest back against the seat of the cab as the pain started settling in - his whole face was throbbing and his body ached. His knuckled were split clear across, his jaw was probably dislocated, he had a nice shiner going on, a busted lip that really could use stitches and then just over all discolartion around the rest of his face. He didn't know what to say at the moment either, so he just let silence reign. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:41pm PDT
• She cleared her throat of the lump there long enough that she could lean forward to give the driver their address and brief directions. Without looking at him, she slid back into her corner and crossed her arms over her chest, hugging herself tightly. Tears slid down her cheeks once more as she thought over the events of that evening, her body angled towards the window, breathing soft except for the occasional soft sob. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 29 2005, 10:44pm PDT

In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
The damned walked in beside her
And laid his money down
-- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 8:28pm PDT
The quiet night was growing late and she was running out of time - the bars were slowly closing up around her and she had yet to find what she was looking for. A wave of people had just passed from one of the nearby clubs, and she was still out of luck, and the streets were near empty, so she slouched against a wall in the shadows with a soft sigh. Long-legged and slender, she attracted her fair share of stares, but her enthusiasm was lacking that evening - for whatever reason - and she wasn't doing much encouraging. If only she didn't need the cash so bad. Her clothing was hardly practical in the cool spring night - a black skirt with the hemline not too short, falling a couple inches above her knees, but a slit that ran up the side high on her soft pale thigh, and a sleeveless satiny emerald top with a cowl neckline that dipped low on her chest. Arms crossing slowly under her chest, she dropped her head back against the wall she was leaning against and closed her eyes for a moment - this isn't where she wanted to be tonight, but she was getting really low on funds...

• He cocked a brow as he watched her from his spot against the opposite watch, he'd been following her discreetly, watching her slip from bar to bar and he had to admit he was slightly intrigued - and confused - as to what exactly she was doing. Ashing his cigarette to the side, he headed over to her, his brow - with the scar running through it - arching curiously. "Not exactly showing the little mermaid here, luv." His low voice rumbled from his throat as he approached her, clad in a black tee shirt, black jeans and a long black duster. He looked the epitomy of a 'big bad' but had the ability to charm the pants off of any female who looked twice at him...literally. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 9:25pm PDT
• Her breath caught softly at the sound of his voice, but it took her only a moment to put on a pout - lightly glossed lower lip jutting out. "I lost my jacket..." Hugging her arms tighter around herself, she straightened a little, eyes drifting briefly over him. For whatever reason she hadn't expected to run into any familiar faces out there, much less him, but masked her surprise in her seeming dismay at losing her jacket. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 9:43pm PDT
• That didn't answer the question that had been in his eyes but he shrugged off the heavy duster anyways, draping it over her shoulders. "Late night, isn't it?" He questioned again, this time a little more probing. She didn't look as if she was in any sort of trouble so maybe she was just out exploring the 'front. That was completely reasonable but for some reason it just wasn't settling well with him. It wasn't answering his questions or letting his mind rest so he had to conclude there was another reason she was out there. A hidden man perhaps? Bad boy she didn't want anyone to find out about? That was a joke, he was the big bad, as far as his past went. No guy she could be shaggin' could compare to him. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:01pm PDT
• She made a point to ignore the questions in his gaze and just smiled as she pulled his warm jacket tighter around her shoulders. "Thanks..." Her voice was quiet in the night, features softer in his company than they had been just moments before - her priorities had shifted for the time being. "It is getting kind of late..." She agreed with a slow nod, still speaking softly, head tipping back a touch as she looked up to him. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:19pm PDT
• He shifted an arm so that he could rest his hand on the small of her back, tugging her closer to his side as he cast his piercing gaze around the bar before he cocked a brow. "Want a drink? May help warm you up a bit, pet." He urged her towards the bar counter with him, not waiting for an answer, even if she wasn't in the mood for a drink, he could use one. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:28pm PDT
• She moved easily against his side, a hand absently brushing a slow circle over his back before they moved towards the bar, a soft breath slipping from her lips. "Just a Corona, please..." She requested and then shifted herself onto the edge of a barstool facing him, eyes on him while he ordered his drink, and then speaking. "So what brings you out here tonight?" She regretted the question after she had asked it though, because she didn't want to lie to him if he reversed it on her - though of course she wouldn't tell the truth... (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:34pm PDT
• He cocked a brow at that. "Sodding beer, yeah? Figured you more a whiskey girl." He shrugged, ordering her what she requested and then two shots of jegger for himself. His eyes went back to her briefly before he looked back to the 'tender. "No one to watch Disney with and it wasn't nearly as entertaining all by meself." He winked lightly at her as he handed her the beer, tilting his head to the side. "And you? What brings you out here?" He grinned, rolling his eyes. "Whats that line all the poofs in the states use? Oh, right, 'Whats a girl like you doin' in a place like this'?" (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:38pm PDT
• "Not tonight..." She explained, shrugging a little - the quiet night had put her in an off mood to begin with, and running into him was nice, but a little difficult given her circumstances. She smiled quietly and then laughed softly, shaking her head slowly, gaze on him. "Just out for some fresh air..." Such a lie, but all of a sudden she couldn't think of anything else to say. "Had to get out of the house." (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:48pm PDT
• "Mmm, right and smokey bars are the best place to get some fresh air." It was obvious he didn't really believe her story whole heartedly but he decided to dive any deeper into her reasoning for being there, instead just enjoying the fact that he was there. He took his shots easily and then pushed the glasses back, shaking his head when the 'tender asked him if he wanted another. Once he started really drinking it was rather difficult for him to stop and he didn't want to become a puddle of mumbling British euphanisms in front of the pretty girl. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:55pm PDT
• "So let's get out of here..." She suggested, after only a couple sips from her beer. She just wasn't in the mood for that place that night, especially with him - two many lines were being crossed - and wanted to get away. She hadn't picked up that cash that she needed, but she would just have to put in a full night's work tomororw, and she didn't have much of a choice now anyway. It was warm now at the bar, but she held his jacket tight around herself still, head tipped a little forward. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 10:59pm PDT
• He smiled at the sight of her in the duster, the long dark leather setting off her bright innocent looking eyes. It was sexy in a strange way that would appeal to him, of course. Setting down some money for the drinks, he nodded and stood up, motioning for her to lead the way, following close by as she headed out the door. "Were you planning on walking home alone then, silly chit? Didn't plan your night out to well." (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:07pm PDT
• "I know, I know... Didn't really think ahead..." She smiled a little bashfully - though of course she hadn't really planned on going home till much later, and then likely would have called a cab or something - but then was silent until they were standing outside in the cool air with only the dim light of a few scattered street lamps. Turning to face him, she shoved her hands into the pockets of his coat and tipping her head back a little, a quiet smile touched her fine lips - just the lower portion of her milky legs and delicately sandalled toes the visible flesh now thanks to his oversized jacket, but she was comfortable. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:13pm PDT
• He smirked a touch, his hand slipping to her lower walk as he nodded towards the beach on the other side of the road. "Up for a walk?" He questioned, his eyes drifting over her. He had never really been overly sensative to temperature so he was completely comfortable in just the short-sleeved tight black tee he was wearing. It was funny, he really was a hopeless romantic deep down inside, he had just never met the girl that brought that out in him. (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:27pm PDT
• "Just what I was thinking of..." She informed him with a nod and leaned ever so gently against his side for guidance. Once they reached the sand, her fingers of one hand curled around his arm for support as she reached down with her other hand to pull off her sandals one at a time, then hooked her fingers through them as she started to walk slowly. "At least it's not raining..." Though they had been calling for some spring showers, it had held off all day, thankfully... (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:31pm PDT
• He kept her hand tucked into the curve of his arm in a very chivalous gesture if he did say so himself. "Yeah, I heard it doesn't rain a whole lot here though.." He smirked a touch. "Not like jolly old London, bloody dreary there it is." He shook his head. "Doesn't change much, just different shades of gray each day." He looked down at her, his eyes curious. "Where you from before here and the center, pet?" (NT) -- Kaden, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:38pm PDT
• "That's no fun..." She commented quietly and almost absently before smiling ambiguously, her fingers on his arm slowly travelling over the formed muscles - slipping up a couple inches and then back down - just absently as they walked. "No where in particular..." She thought that maybe she had called somewhere 'home' when she had been a little kid, but couldn't really recall those days. It had been a long time since she had truly belonged anywhere. (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:45pm PDT
• He cocked a brow at that, filing it away to think about later. This little girl seemed so full of contradictions. His eyes went to the duster, the duster he'd had for years, it was somewhat of a..prize for an accomplishment that was better left unspoken of. Still it was like a part of him and he was rarely seen without it - it carried the biting scent of cigarettes and leather plus the combination of scents that was pure male and pure Kaden. "Ya get used to it though." He said after a few moments of silence, glancing down to her. "The gray." (NT) -- Kade, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:50pm PDT
• "I guess so... I would miss the sunshine..." She murmured softly, and looked slowly up to him - she loved this jacket of his that she was wearing, for some reason. There was something safe feeling about it - the strong scents and the protective way in which it seemed to encircle her. Sighing softly, she slowed her walking a little and began to drag her feet through the deep, cool sand, eyes shifting up to him once more. "I like the rain sometimes too though..." (NT) -- Ella, Sun, May 15 2005, 11:55pm PDT
• He nodded a touch. "A chit that likes variety, not a bad thing. Most girls like the same thing all the time..." He glanced down at her, she looked cute, wrapped up in the duster like it was a blanket shielding her from the cold which, in a way, is basically what it was on her. For him it was more an appearance thing but for her, it literally draped over her. He guided her towards the part of the beach that led to where the bus stop - while he wouldn't want her on it by herself, with him there it was a good way to get him and cost way less then a cab. (NT) -- Kaden, Mon, May 16 2005, 12:16am PDT
• "Not so bad..." She agreed with a shrug and a slight smile - there was nothing like a good downpour every once in a while. Wordlessly, he allowed herself to be guided by him - for whatever reason, she trusted him, and didn't care where he was taking her as long as she wasn't going there alone. "Are you cold?" She questioned suddenly, brows gently furrowing as she looked up at him - he wasn't really dressed for the evening either, well, not now that she had his jacket. (NT) -- Ella, Mon, May 16 2005, 12:21am PDT
• He shook his head at that, shrugging a touch. "Don't know what it is exactly, but I have never been much for bein' cold..or hot...temperature doesn't really bother me." He smirked lightly, gazing down at her. "The coat is more for the 'big bad' appearance then actual warmth." It was all about appearances for him, looking and acting the part and all that sort of thing, the part that he had written up for himself in this big stage people called life. It was all an act, everyone was acting whether they knew it or not, just most people played the roles other had designed for them, he wrote his own. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 6:50pm PDT
• "Ooh, one of those. But you don't seem so big and bad to me, with or without the coat..." She teased gently with a wink and a small smirk, gently bumping her shoulder against his before dropping her gaze back to the cool sand beneath her bare feet. "I'm not taking you away from any big plans that you had for the night or anything, am I?" She questioned after a few moments of quiet, glancing over at him for a brief moment. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 7:02pm PDT
• "Oh, pet, that cuts deep. You don't insult a mans deep dark soul.." He shook his head, clucking his tongue in a scolding fashion before that slow and easy smirk crossed his lips again. "Nah, no plans, like I said, just gettin' out of the packed mad house for a bit." Despite his words, his tone was affectionate, Joey was one of his best friends and he appreciated what he had done for them all. He'd done more for Kaden then anyone else in his life had and he had to give the guy mad props for that... (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 7:15pm PDT
• "Hey, I only tell the truth." Though that there was a complete lie, for certain, and the irony of it struck her the moment the words left her lips - brows furrowing for just a moment in response. She smiled though a moment later and nodded every so lightly, arms wrapping around herself as she suddenly halted their stroll as they came up to a bench, and then dropped down to sit on the edge. "Fair enough." (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 7:19pm PDT
• He misstepped as she stopped suddenly but quickly regained his cordination and sat down next to her, cocking a brow. "So..." He drew the word out before he reached over and pulled a slightly crumped pack of cigarettes from his duster pocket, the one that was on his side of her. "Mind if I smoke?" He questioned, gesturing with a nod of his head towards his jacket. "Lighter is in the other pocket." (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 7:51pm PDT
• "Nah..." Though she didn't care at all, she wasn't sure how much it would have mattered if she did. Reaching into the other pocket of his jacket, she discovered the lighter, drew it out, and then held it out to him. "Doesn't bother me." She shrugged a little, looking over at him. She wasn't much for company that night, she knew, but she didn't feel like going back to the 'mad house' and had no where else to go, and was just feeling a little lost all around. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 8:00pm PDT
• He wasn't sure what he should be saying, it wasn't often that he talked to a girl without his main quest being to get her out of her pants, or well, at least him into her pants. At any rate, that wasn't his goal tonight so he was a bit at a loss. The big bad wasn't much into small talk though he tried valiantly. "So, um, what kinda music you lend your ear too?" He questioned, before groaning silenty, that was as origional as talking about the weather. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 8:06pm PDT
• "Little bit of everything... I'm pretty flexible." She shrugged a little, eyes lingering on him for a moment before a soft sigh slipped from her plump lips. "What about you?" Small talk wasn't really her thing either, so she was just as lost as he was. She really didn't socialize much in normal situations either, and just wasn't too sure what to say herself, and was annoyed with herself for that fact. What kind of girl didn't even know how to talk to a guy in an everyday sort of event? (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 8:24pm PDT
• "Old stuff, the kinks, the clash, Billy Idol, The Ramones..." He shrugged his shoulder, glancing over at her as he let out a low breath. "I feel like such a ninny, sitting here talking about music. It's been awhile, though, since I had to do anything like...make commeon conversation." He shrugged a little, pursing his lips before he smiled in a slight apolagy for his lack of conversational topics. A low breath escaped his lips as he glanced over at the water. "Did you live near the water before?" She had avoided the direct question of where she was from so maybe a less direct route would work better. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 10:01pm PDT
• She just laughed softly, leaning back in the bench and resting her head back, eyes over on him. "I know... It's strange. I kind of feel like I've forgotten how to be anything close to a normal person." Bundled up in his jacket as if it were a blanket, she nodded ever so slightly, arms crossed underneath her chest and lips pursed gently before she spoke. "Once upon a time... What about you?" (NT) -- Ells, Tue, May 17 2005, 10:34pm PDT
• "I've seen it once or twice, the ocean, I mean, I've seen water more then once or twice." He shrugged again, for someone so adapt at being such a hard ass, he was stumbling over his words as badly as the pounce of a child he used to be would have. He had been so weak then, so easy to take advantage of and as he got older he had smoothed out his words, developed muscle and never looked back at the boy he used to be - the boy that still had dreams and wishes and bloody hell, even wrote poetry now and again... (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 10:40pm PDT
• A half-smile touched her features at that - she couldn't count how many times she had seen the ocean, that seemed so odd to her that he had only seen it twice. "You miss it much?" She questioned after a moment, shifting to lean forward with her shoulder resting gently against his, eyes out on the water. Though the evening was cooler than she would prefer, atleast it wasn't raining, though the clouds were moving in and showers may be on their way. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 10:50pm PDT
• "Sometimes...specially when all you chits look at me like I am the one who talks funny." He smirked a little, slumping down into the bench just a touch so that she could lean more comfortably against him. "I saw the ocean when I was flyin' over the pond you know, but I wasn't really payin' much 'ttention to it, bein' in the air for the first time and all, I was more concerned about tossin' my cookies all over the cutie next to me, now that would have been a shame." First time on a plane and joining the mile high club, not bad. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 10:58pm PDT
• "Well you do. But I like it." She informed him quite matter-of-factly, with a small smile, and then laughed softly. "Figures... That would have been such a shame. And such an awkward rest of the flight." Nose wrinkling just a touch, she smothered a yawn and dropped her head back against the back of the bench. "I've never been on a plane before." Though there were a lot of things that she had never done. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:03pm PDT
• "Such a waste of a flight." A rogue expression crossed his face as he waggled his brows playfully at her, shifting to let his arm rest behind her on the bench as his eyes rested on the water in front of them. "I've never...been on a small boat. Was on a big boat once, hoppin' the channel to get to France but other then that.." He shrugged, glancing down at her briefly before his gaze returned back to the waves, fascinated by how they changed size and shape. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:08pm PDT
• She laughed at that and rolled her eyes, scooting closer to his side, resting on a slight angle, her cheek on his arm. "I've never dyed my hair." That was a random one, but the first to pop into her head. "Listen to you... 'Hoppin' the channel to get to France'. Sounds so surreal. Maybe I'll go to Europe one day." One day, in another lifetime that was. Not only could she never afford it, but she was pretty sure that she wouldn't be allowed by the powers that be. Girls like her didn't get to live lives like that, anyway. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:14pm PDT
• "Mmm, just like crossin' state lines here." He shrugged a touch before he ran a hand through her hair absently. "Don't need to dye your hair, its a pretty color as it is." He smiled lightly, looking down at her. "I dyed my hair once, bright blonde, got all spikey and Billy Idol lookin' but it didn't last to long." He shrugged lightly, his eyes on her for a second before he leaned back into the bench a touch more, making him self comfortable as she nestled against him. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:17pm PDT
• "Can't even imagine it." She shook her head a little before laughing gently at the idea of him with bright blonde hair, and then glanced up to him. "I like yours how it is, too." She settled back down and fell silent for a long moment, brows furrowing gently when she spoke again. "You think everyone's still up at the house?" She just wasn't really in the mood for dodging people, and things could get so busy over there sometimes. Other times, it was completely abandonned. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:23pm PDT
• "I bet a few of 'em are still up..." He shrugged a touch. "Joey's probably out with Nina still, Rio's probably in Jackie's room, Astrid and that whole group are probably sleepin' though..." He could barely keep up with everyone in the house but there were a few he was close with - those being Joey and Rio and Jason respectively. He smiled a touch down at her, cocking a brow. "You trying to hide from people?" (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:27pm PDT
• She opened her mouth to make some excuse, but then just nodded a little and managed a sheepish smile. "Yeah, sorta..." She admitted with a slight shrug, just her big, blue eyes turned up to watch him. It was so strange how much she was trying to avoid people these days. She used to be such a friendly girl - the type who much preferred to be around others as opposed to being alone. That seemeed like it had changed without her even noticing it until now. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:32pm PDT
• he smirked a little at that, tipping his head to the side. "Nothing wrong with a little alone time...did I ruin that for you?" He questioned, he had kinda distrubed her night out and he was hopin' she wasn't wishin' he had never shown up. His dark eyes swept down to her, brow furrowed curiously as he tried to guage what she was thinking about him but that was near impossible. (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:37pm PDT
• "No..." She assured him quickly, a hand reaching over without thought to brush his chest just briefly, still a little curled towards his side - legs drawn up a little towards him and cheek resting on his arm, comfortable and content in the warmth of his company. "Kinda saved my night, actually." Though that was more true than he would ever know. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:44pm PDT
• "Well, glad I could be of use then, luv." He winked down at her, his arm tugging her closer to his side, unsure why he had the sudden urge to protect her but there it was, swelling in his chest right below where her tiny hand had rested just a second ago. His fingers played absently through her silky hair was he remained silent for a few long moments before he murmured. "we can stay here for a bit and then we'll sneak in...won't let anyone see you at all." (NT) -- Kaden, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:50pm PDT
• She just smiled at him, and was comfortably silent as she rested against him, then nodded agreeably, eyes flitting up to him. "Perfect. Sounds like a plan. You probably think I'm some completely anti-social hermit..." Though maybe she was, and at that thought, her brows furrowed a littel and her lips pursed for a moment as she contemplated that idea. Really though, she would get over this once she was more settled in... That was her hope, atleast. (NT) -- Ella, Tue, May 17 2005, 11:54pm PDT

Give me your number
and I'll call -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 12:27pm PDT
His hand was on her lower back as they stepped onto the bustling waterfront, his eyes going around the area subtley. It was busy, very busy, the beach right over to the left, the water so close, and then the bars, shops, clubs, resturaunts and everything off over to the side. It reminded him of things he had seen on tv about like Atlantic City and placed like that. "Pretty hoppin' huh?" He questioned, looking down at her with a cocked brow before he smirked gently. "Unfortunantly, if either of us get carded, we're fucked." He winked teasingly, shifting to head up onto the sidewalk and continue their walk. He was a little bothered by Jason's attitude that night but he was trying to push it out of his mind. His twin was his best friend though and when Jason was upset, Joey was upset. It was just the way things went between them - they were very, very close.

• She smirked a little at that and cocked a brow, nodding gently in agreement as she let her honey colored eyes flicker around easily. This place was hot... she'd couldn't imagine she;d get too easily bored here for a while. "Its hot... you wanna take a walk up and down first? See whats goin' on? " She'd wasn;t particularly bothered about going into one of the bars to be honest, there was plenty happening out on the streets and the beach, and it wouldnt be too boring to just take it all in. There were quite a few kids out on the walls and the beach with beers and such . She had noted his mood, but didn;t linger on it... she just hoped she'd be able to ease it a little through the night, she wanted to have fun not sit around nursing his mood. "he'll get over it Joey... I think he was having separation issues... " She flasdhed him a playful smirk, winking a little. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 12:42pm PDT
• "Sure, we can walk..." His arm slipped easily around her waist, more to just keep her close then anything else. His own hazel eyes drifted around - taking in the sights and going on's before she spoke again. "Right, yeah...I know he will." He offered a slight smile, squeezing her closer to his side with a wink before his eyes drifted again. The 'front had a distinctive vibe about, the sounds were a lot to take in on their own - people yelling, cars and bikes revving, the waves in the distance, music coming out of all the different bars and clubs - not to mention the lingering smell of exhaust, alcohol and something else he couldn't put his finger on... (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 12:45pm PDT
• She drank it all in with a sense of excitement... it was nothing like the dark and smokey streets of the city she was so used to... it was bright and fun and friendly. She slipped her arm around his wist and hooked her thumb into his belt loop at his side, letting her gaze linger of things and people. She was really glad, for the first time in her life, to be somewhere. Joey and Jason couldn't have picked a better place for them all to live. For once she was far too pre-occupied with taking everything in to notice the looks she got, she even forgot her attitude. She glanced out at the ocean and the beach, smirking a touch as she bumbed close to his side "Its wierd to be so near the ocean... closest I ever got to the beach was a sand pit at elementry school..." She cocked her head to him a touch and smirked slightly... he'd lost the playful mood he'd woken up in earlier. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:00pm PDT
• He smirked lightly, shifting to look down at her, a playful gaze lighting his eyes as she bumped him. "Yeah? The first night we were here I wandered out to the beach for a bit..it's nice..they got a bunch of nice beaches around here." He took her hand, tugging her across the street - away from the lights towards the sand. "You gotta experience the ocean." He winked lightly, stepping onto the sand and waiting for her to make sure she wanted to follow him. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:05pm PDT
• She smirked a touch as he tugged her across the street. She found she much prefered this Joey to the gumpy moody one he seemed to pull where his brother was concerned. She hesitated as she stepped ontot he sand, she knew for sure she wasnlt going to be able to walk in it witht he tall sandles she was wearing. Still holding onto his hand she leant down to remove the shoes, keeping them in one hand while she sink her toes into the sand. It was a pretty new experience to her "I donlt know about the ocean... I don't like the idea of what lives in there... "She smirked a little, and fell in step with him again, letting the gently breeze brush her curls back from her face and the flaps of her baby doll top back from her toned torso, breathing in the salty scent of the ocean air. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:14pm PDT
• He laughed at that, shaking his head before he looked down at her, cocking a brow. "Damn girl, you got short." He winked teasingly, squeezing her hand before he started walking again. A low breath escaped his lips as he let go of her hand in favor of wrapping his arm around her waist tightly. "The ocean isn't so bad, there's lot of cute little sea creatures, didn't you watch finding nemo? I brought it home the other day, that movie kicks ass." He winked again, teasing her quietly, enjoying the sound of the waves around them. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:26pm PDT
• She smirks and shakes her head a touch at him , contemplating the dark ocean silently a moment "Are you eight or eighteen boy? Aight... but if somehting bites me and I die you know its you're fault..." She grins a little, her arm winding back around his waist just as tightly, though she stood a good four inches shorter now, taking her down to around 5'4.. she was still growing though. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:30pm PDT
• He grinned lightly, his arms wrapping around her waist gently, hugging her to him as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. He kinda liked her all little like this, at six foot flat, he had a good eight inches on her without those heels on. For the moment he was content to just hold her - his hands sliding up and down her back absently, caressing her skin lovingly before he pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek, then her jaw, and then down her neck...finding all the spaces he was learning that she liked and brushing gentle, barely there kisses to each one of them. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 1:33pm PDT
• A genuine smile tugged at her lips as his lips explored her skin, closing her eyes softly and tipping her head to one side, her hands sliding up his arms to hook around his shoulders as a soft breath slipped from her lips. It was so easy to be with him, actually act like a teenager with him, laugh, smile, have fun. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 3:15pm PDT
• He smiled at the gentle breath that escaped her lips as he kissed her, his fingers gently kneading at her hips absently before he took a step back and brushed his hand through her hair tenderly, careful of the curls. "Is your hair naturally this curly?" He questioned absently, fingering the soft locks between his thumb and forefinger - his hazel eyes focused down on her. The stars were coming out in full force now, creating a nice effect against the water that was gently lapping at the sand not to far away from them. He'd been planning on taking her out to party but this was good too. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 3:23pm PDT
• She smirks tenderly, tipping her face upto him easily and letting her lips catch his jaw... she was all for the partying thing... but she held his sentiments- this was good too. "Mm... you should see it when I wake up in the mornings... look like I stepped right out the eighties.... " She smirked a touch and snaked her arms up around his neck easily, tipping her face up to the sky to look at the stars, letting out a breath. "You could never see the stars in the city..." (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 3:30pm PDT
• "Mmm..I know..." He smiled softly, looking up at the stars with her. "I like checking 'em out..." He had never really taken the time to look at the stars until the night he had gone out to the beach himself but since then he'd taken a little bit of time each night to just chill outside and think about things. A smile crossed his lips as she talked about her hair, winking a touch. "I'll have to see that for myself sometime..." Maybe it was an innuendo, maybe it wasn't, he wasn't really sure. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 3:36pm PDT
• She smirked and laughed a little at that, letting her gaze flicker over the stars in awe of just how many their were. He'd be lucky to see her in the monring- as a general rule she never stuck around till morning, not even with Rio, but she didn;t say as much. "Hey look... is that a shooting star?" She'd never known they really, actually existed- she just thought they were something from stories... (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 3:53pm PDT
• He cocked a brow, wondering if it had been a plane for a second but then he nodded. "Yeah, I think that was a star." He smiled a touch, gazing down at her as he tugged her back so that her back was resting against his chest, his arms wrapped tightly around her. "You gotta make a wish and then tell me what you wished for." He stated, smirking gently, his fingers running down to tuck into the waistband of her skirt. "Make sure its a good wish, since its your first one." (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 4:01pm PDT
• She leans back against him , gazing up at tha sky a moment before closing her eyes and letting out a breath. A grin tugged at her lips as she rested her hands on his arms, murmering softly to him "I can;t think of anything to wish for...." It would have to be a first time.. she was always aspiring to something... but for now- in these few moments alone with him under a blanket of diamond stars... she couldn;t think of another think she wanted. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 4:05pm PDT
• He smiled softly, tipping her head to the side as he pressed another warm kiss to her pulse, sucking there softly, gently, though enough to leave a red mark there. His fingers slipped up to drift beneath her shirt, touching her soft skin. "A bigger house so we wouldn't all be sharing rooms?" He spoke teasingly into her ear, his arms tight around her as his fingers caressed over her body. "...or...maybe...a car?" He winked lightly, obviously just playing with her as was shown by his lips being pressed to her cheek. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 4:13pm PDT
• She grinned a little at that gazing up at the stars a moment longer before turning her face a little to his, l;leaning back against him as she felt his hands sooth over her skin "To be left alone.... all of us..." Not to have anymore shit happen to them or authorities trying to make things better when they only made things worse. She grinned a little and pressed a kiss to his jaw tenderly a moment before letting her teeth nip playfully "Wanna see if we can get in anywhere? I wanna dance... its been forever since I danced." (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 4:17pm PDT
• He grinned and nodded a touch at her statement. "Honey, I think thats the best wish you could have come up with." He placed a warm kiss to her lips for a long moment before he drew back and nodded a touch. "Sounds like a plan..." He placed his hand on her back, guiding her to the boardwalk and paused a moment, letting her put on her shoes before he headed back to towards where the lights and stuff were. "How about this place?" He questioned, tipping his head to the side as he looked over the place and then back to her seek her approval. (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 4:33pm PDT
• She let her gaze wander over the front of the place and then the bouncers almost cockily before she nodded , linnking her fingers into his on her hip and tucking hersellf under his arm as she headed forward. The heels gave her the height that she loved back... she didnlt mind being short but she loved when she was taller. The short skirt made her legs look all the more lengthy and the revealing babydoll top flashed tantlizing glimpses of her shapely form as she walked with that alluring sway to her hips. (NT) -- Nina, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 5:15pm PDT
• He smirked, shaking his head as he reached into his pocket to pay the cover before he leaned down to murmur in her ear. "Who you showin' off for baby girl?" He teased, his arms tightening around her as he felt the males eyes go to her. He wasn't so sure he liked the fact she was drawing so much attention but it wasn't like she could help it - what guy wouldn't look? His hand ran possesively down her hip, drawing her to him for a second to kiss her before he let her go. "Want to dance?" (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 5:21pm PDT
• She smirked a touch at his comment and arched a brow to him almost coyly, shifting closer to him as she felt the eyes move over her. She'd always shown off... but right now she was showin off for him. There was no harm in looking good. "Sure... " She flashed him a grin and lead him over tot the lower dance floor, glancing around and taking in the vibe as she looked for a reasonable space, her hips beginning to move witht he music easily as a space seemed to clear for them, keeping her back to him as she let her hips move in rhythm with the heady music.

• He danced easily with her, not anything to raunchy, just dancing. His hands played over her hips lightly, moving over her as she moved, a smirk playing on his lips. This definately was not how he had thought he'd be spending his thursday night a couple of days ago but hell, he wasn't complaining in the least. His head tipped to the side as he reached down to place a kiss to her neck, letting a few songs play out before he murmured. "Havin' a good time?" (NT) -- Joey, Thu, Apr 28 2005, 5:41pm PDT

Butterflies in her eyes and the looks to kill
Time is passing, and I'm asking, could this be real..?
Cos I can't sleep, I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal.. -- Sarah, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:28am PDT
She was out dancing at the strip with her girlfriends, though Ella was absent from them tonight, like most times. She only ever really saw her brother and his friends at Uni anyways. She was decked in knee high boots and a short denim mini, the top of her form covered (or not so covered)by a creme haltar with a low back and a dipping neckline, accentuating her curves and enhancing her bronzed skin while she danced..

• He wasn't really feeling the club scene tonight but his friends had him persauded, so he'd headed out with them. They moved through the club to the decking out back where the atmosphere was a little more chilled, huge canvas canopies over each table and good waitress service. B;ake couldn;t help but notice her as he moved through the club though- how could he miss her? But when he saw her with all the girls he didn;t even consider heading over, girls with their friends were dangerous territory that he never ventured into. he followed the guys outside and dropped into the seat, half the group immediately heading back inside after dropping their coats to dance.

• And she? Well - she parted with her friends as soon as she noted his own friends coming back in to dance, her lips curling into a smirk as she glanced over him and came up from behind, her hand moving to massage at his shoulders, her lips dipping to murmer a greeting into his ear ... she had a few in her tonight. (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:42am PDT
• He glanced up at her and smirked a touch, letting his dark eyes take his fill of her while his hand moves up to capture hers. Unfortunately- he was still painfully sober. (NT) -- Blake, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:44am PDT
• She pulled her hands from his grip easily and let them slide down over his chest and push into his lap, nipping at his neck. She was drunk .. and she wanted him.. (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:47am PDT
• He let his brow furrow a touch as his friends proceeded to laugh and egg her on, blake took a hold of her wrists and took them away, ducking his head away from hers "Sarah you're drunk..." (NT) -- Blake, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:50am PDT
• Her brow furrowed a little bit and she sighed, biting her lip for a moment before she slurred "So.. dance with me." (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:53am PDT
• He pulled a chair up for her and eased her into it, casting her a smirk before shaking his head "Im not in the mood to dance... just sit and talk..." If she could of course. His friends wantched her display a moment longer before letting their attention drift. (NT) -- Blake, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 2:58am PDT
• She pouted a little bit and ran a hand through her hair, pushing it over her bronzed shoulders, her lips pursing for a little bit "Fine." She didn't get what his problem was.. (NT) -- Sarah, Sat, Apr 16 2005, 3:01am PDT

... -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 12:59pm PST
It had been a month or so since he'd been dumped by the door step and now he was out and about with the boys, left with scars for memories. He ran a hand over his head as he sipped at his drink, leaning back into the comfortable booth as he spoke to his friend, and Nick was allready making his way to the dance floor with some girl. He rested his elbows up on top of the red leather booth seat, one foot supported on top of his knee as he tapped it idly in mid air, his lips pursing a little as he took another sip of his drink..

• He was leaned back in the corner of the chair - his eyes drifting around the bar in quiet surveillance. Even though they weren't in the gang anymore really, he was always on high alert. Silently, he exhaled a puff of smoke before smirking at Nick and then turning to look at Rion. "The girls say what they were up to tonight?" (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:05pm PST
• He shrugged a bit, shifting his foot back to the floor "Going out with some friends from work, I think.." He was much more lenient with what Viper did with herself these days. He knew he could trust her now.. (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:09pm PST
• He nodded slowly, his head tipped to the side as he smiled lightly. "They seem to be settled here well, I don't think we have much to worry about." He was debating what to do with himself these days, there wasn't a whole lot of reason for him to stay here but he didn't really have anywhere else to go either. As the waitress walked by he flagged her down, flirted a touch and ordered another drink. (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:12pm PST
• He wasn't too sure what to do with himself either. The guys back at Miami had been his life - his empire, and now he was kind of stuck for options. "Yeah.." He glanced out to the dance floor idly, noticing Nick stuck in a corner with a new girl and he smirked a bit, tipping his drink towards the two "..Not so sure about that one, though." (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:15pm PST
• He rolled his eyes a touch, his gaze on his friend. He knew Nick was just trying to distract himself from thoughts of Mila but he wasn't going to bring that up to Orion. "He's just got gettin' laid on the mind, once he does, he'll be all focused again." He smirked, pursing his lips and nodding in thanks as his drink was delivered. (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:20pm PST
• He arched a brow, ordering a new drink as his friends arrived and he finished his own off, smirking a bit and shaking his head. "Well that's nothing out of the ordinary.." He couldn't remember a time when Nick hadn't had that on his mind.. (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:24pm PST
• A laugh escaped his lips at that as he leaned back, tipping his head to the side as he gazed at his long time friend. "So what are you going to do now, Ri?" He smirked a touch. "I don't see you as the settling down, getting married and starting a family type, sure as hell don't picture Viper in that role..." (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:26pm PST
• A slow smirk crept across his lips and he arched a brow, shrugging lightly and thanking the waitress as his new drink arrived. "Funny you should say that .. " mostly because it was something he had been thinking about, but he knew with Viper she probably wasn't thinking about all of that just yet, seeings how she'd lived their 'relationship' from a different perspective.. (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:30pm PST
• His brow raised slowly as he leaned forward, a surprised expression on his face. "Are you seriously thinking about settling down like that? Kids and everything?" That was just unbelievable to him. In less then six months he had gone from watching his friend kill a man without a thought to him sitting here bringing up the fact of a baby with his girlfriend. (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:35pm PST
• He frowned a little bit, arching a brow and sipping at his drink idly "It's really that hard to believe? I love her, man.." It was true, as much as he had previously denied it he always had .. (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:38pm PST
• "It's just..a little out of character you know? From the Rion that we all know." He cleared his throat, tipping his head back as he tried to figure out what was going on. Their whole lives were so different now and he wasn't really sure how to grasp it all. "So, you going to ask her to marry you then?" (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:41pm PST
• He frowned a little bit and shrugged glancing back out to Nick who was leading the same girl out the door and probably back home and he rolled his eyes a little bit at them before turning back to Ash "I dunno .. maybe. Do you think she'd want to?" He was having doubts now Ash seemed like it was so out of character.. (NT) -- Orion, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:47pm PST
• "I have no idea." He shrugged a touch. "You know Viper is one of my best friends and I know a lot, I know she loves you more then anything but I dunno how she would react to marriage." He pursed his lips, finishing off his drink as he to watched as his friend and the stranger walked off to get their coats and head out the door. (NT) -- Ash, Wed, Mar 30 2005, 1:50pm PST

I'm a wanderer... -- Chad, Sun, Mar 27 2005, 10:15pm PST
He was sitting out at the bar at the usual place he met her - the litle girl was becoming quite the addict. Not that he really minded, she was gorgeous and entertaining and he could tell she was slowly starting to be drawn to him or at least attracted. She seemed to think that she focused fully on school and her mind could think that all she wanted but he was sure that her body was starting to tell her otherwise. A joint was resting between his lips as he sipped on a Labatt, his brow furrowed gently as he waited impatiently for her to show...

And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill -- Riah, Mon, Feb 21 2005, 7:43pm PST
lips pursed idly a moment as she wondered - almost carelessly and alone down the walk...a hand raising to brush dark hair from tanned features. Hands ducked into pockets of low slung jeans...various holes reveiling the tanned skin beneith, a simple surfing t-shirt hugging tight to form, doing little to impress anyone but it wasnt he point. The fact that Chad was back had seemed to tear her apart, just the thoughts of what they'd had in the past seemed to bring back emotions, but she couldn't help it. A few weeks with him and she'd become attached, assuming he'd felt the same but when he left her like he had the rest of them...she relized it was all just a lie. With a soft sigh she veered into one of the packed bars...bent on removing the thought from her mind

• The young man was making his way up the street - he'd already gotten himself pretty strung out at one of the bars, celebrating his return to the crew, and now he was making his way toward another bar.

• His brow furrowed with a frown as she pulled away and he raised a brow, cocking his head at her - he hadn't remembered their encounters as being much to even write home about, but obviously they meant more to her.

I've got a sureshot way to work this out -- Sarah, Tue, Feb 15 2005, 4:05am PST
A black salsa style dress clung to her lithe and curvy form, hardly cold in the club that was filled with the warmth of dancing bodies and bright lights. She had come out with a few of her friends tonight - never alone, it seemed, and was indeed having a good time as she chatted and flirted idly with some boys from RDU. She pushed her wavy hair back over her shoulder and her hands smoothed over the simple ruffles of her short dress, laughing gently at something one of the boys had said..

• She tucked her face away in the curve of his neck, her fingers toying and twisting in the hem of his shirt a little "You're being dumb.." (NT) -- Sarah, Wed, Feb 16 2005, 3:31am PST
• He grins a little and brushed a kiss to her temple "Well... maybe one more...." He grinned and dropped his lips to hers again. He didnlt know what it was about her, she was fun and cute and kinda sweet, he liked it (NT) -- Blake, Wed, Feb 16 2005, 3:47am PST
• She smirks a little at him, kissing him back easily, definitely making it one to remember her by. She kind of guessed what it was about him she liked .. he was fun and .. somewhat un-attainable, and she was always up for a challenge. (NT) -- Sarah, Wed, Feb 16 2005, 3:51am PST

is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own -- Sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 4:03pm PST
lean figure finally emerged from the now parked car - jaw set as keys were dropped into deep pocket, a hand raising to brush dark hair from face...eyes downcast as he wandered along. A night out was what he needed - just to say that he had mingled and he had been there. A soft breath was given against the cool temperatures, form hidden by a simple pair of tattered jeans and a vintage tee - fitting a bit too tight to form...worn pumas tredding the damp earth as he made his way into one of the various bars - dark eyes scanning the crowd

• She wasn't typically much of one for being out and around but tonight she found herself letting herself out the door of a warehouse concert, and wandering up the street, a thin, worn old cardigan pulled over her own typical wear - ringer tee and faded jeans - she was just a bit tipsy, but had enjoyed the music, and the company as she hardly knew anyone in the city. Making her way down the street, narrow arms wrapped around herself and shoulders hunched to keep away the cold, she didn't even see him.. (NT) -- Rainer, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 4:25pm PST
• a brow raised as she wandered past him - a soft whistle given as voice protruded into the cold night air with a puff of steam Gonna just ignore me princess? a brow cocked at that - arms crossing over broad chest...causing the hem of his shirt to raise a bit - reveiling tattooed skin. He'd never offically called her by her first name...she was always just princess, happy or unhappy...first names were never his thing (NT) -- Sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 4:29pm PST
• She looked up as she heard the whistle and the sound of his voice and the corner of her lips tilted up a little as her eyes met him. A dark brow cocked, pushing some stray curls away from her eyes. "Well well well. Fancy who I meet out here." (NT) -- Rainer, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 8:51pm PST
• a grin creased features - wandering towards her quietly...scuffing feet against the ground as he walked Admit it - you're quite glad you ran into me - otherwise your night would be in shambles lid dropped in a playful wink at that - tilting his head, lips pursed (NT) -- sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 8:53pm PST
• She grinned a little, dropping her arms from their protective position around her torso to her sides and she nodded a little bit. "Sure.. my night would have been awful.. I would have gone straight home and cried myself to sleep. It's a good thing you came along!" (NT) -- Rainer, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:18pm PST
• well then im keeping you from wallowing in self pity - im proud of myself a hand was offered to her - motioning to the nearly deserted diner behind her Care for a bite to eat? (NT) -- Sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:25pm PST
• She looked at him a bit, from the corner of her eyes, taking his hand and then looking skeptically at the diner. "I think we'd better get in there then... the post-show crowd is going to be coming along soon enough and we want to be in and out before all those freaks that I spent the evening with get there." She grinned a little, and took a step or two back toward the diner. (NT) -- Rainer, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:33pm PST
• a grin was given once more as she accepted his hand - fingers curling into hers for a moment as he walked - a brow still raised Lead the way then... after a moment though he moved in front of her - pulling the door open for her (NT) -- Sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:35pm PST
• The grin that already covered her features broadened as he held the door for her and she shook her head a little, stepping inside. "So chivalrous." She grinned a little and led the way to one of her favorite booths. (NT) -- Rainer, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:42pm PST
• What can I say? I try... he followed closely - sliding into the booth across from her - dark eyes intent for a moment before glancing around. He himself had never been to this particular place...but it was food all the same (NT) -- Sam, Mon, Jan 10 2005, 9:45pm PST
