• 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
