Subject: When two plus two is five or less, it's time to question common sense...

Although the 'front wasn't really a place for a girl to be out and about on her own, she was confident enough that she could take care of herself. Even still, she had chosen a fairly quiet club and situated at the bar - making smalltalk with the 'tender and sipping at her Corona. Black denims sat low on her hips and a simple pale purple halter top fit close to her frame.

He wanders in with an air of confidance, his black cargo's matched with a short-sleeved black shirt, his biceps clear to see. He led a blonde in, slipping his glasses off and leaning in, telling her to find a booth while he got in some drinks. After a brief kiss she turns and stalks away while her turned to the bar with a smirk, the ego boost going to his head. He leans against the counter close to where Lani was sat, waiting for the 'tender to do his job (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:22pm PST
She smiled good-naturedly as the 'tender excused himself, and glanced over at the new arrival. The smile was replaced by a frown of concentration, an almost nervous knot forming in her stomach as she stared blankly at him - unsure if her eyes were lying to her. (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:26pm PST
He tips his chin the the tender and orders his drinks, glancing around as he waited, his gaze moving over her momentarily, but he didn't really reconise her (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:35pm PST
For a moment, she couldn't tear her gaze from him before she broke a brief smile, fingers moving to toy through her cropped dark hair. "Well, lookat what the dogs dragged in..." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:38pm PST
He cocked a brow and glanced back to the woman, turning to face her then "We'll everyone likes a compliment..." (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:48pm PST
She cocked a brow, tipping her chin up a touch curiously. "Soloman Rush, what've you been smoking? A few years hasn't erased me from your memory, has it?" They hadn't parted on great terms, but the time had dulled the pain of the loss of her brother and her anger towards Sol. (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 4:53pm PST
His gaze narrows, cocking his head a touch before a slight smirk tugged at his lips, shaking his head a touch "Hell no... Lani?" (NT) -- sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:02pm PST
She broke a slight grin at that, winking playfully. "You're dumber than I remember." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:04pm PST
He smirks and cocks a brow, shaking his head a touch "You're older than I remember... what happened?" (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:10pm PST
"Time changes, apparently..." She held an arm out to him. "Don't I get a hug or anything?" (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:12pm PST
He smirks a touch, moving forward to give her a hug, dropping a kiss to the top of her head, he'd moved on since they'd last spoken, she didn't seem to hold the grudge "Hows it going kid?" (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:19pm PST
She returned the hug tightly and patted his cheek affectionately as he moved away. "Not too bad... What about you? We've got some catching up to do, I think." She smiled a touch - he had always been like another brother and she had always looked up to him, the adoring light to her eyes was hardly out of the ordinary. (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:23pm PST
He smirks and nods a touch, handing her the drink he'd ordered for the other girl then taking her by the elbow, leading her to a free booth. She was the baby sister he and Colby had always teased and protected. "Been keeping busy?" (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:31pm PST
Hardly a baby anymore, she wasn't oblivious to the appreciative looks she received from admirers, but chose to ignore him. She slid into the booth and raised her drink to her lips before responding. "Yeah, kinda. Going to school, working a little." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:34pm PST
He cocked a brow and slid in opposite her. He hadn't thought she'd have gotten on so well after Colby's death, he wasn't sure what he expected. "I knew you were better than drugs and damn street racers, see you should thank me" he and Colby had made sure she'd stayed out of trouble, while they were jumping in the deep end (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:40pm PST
She had always been a little different than her brother and his friends. Smiling slightly, she nodded, toying absently with the silver chain around her neck. "And I always thought you never let me hang around just because you were too cool for me." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:43pm PST
He smirked and rubbed his jaw playfully, mocking thought "Well there was that...I mean we didn't want you growin a complex or nothin" (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:49pm PST
She smirked, kicking him gently underneath the table. "You're still a jerk.... So how've you been? You look good." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:51pm PST
He leant back in his seat and smirked at that, shrugging it off "Always kid. I've been keepin myself busy...you know." (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 5:58pm PST
Propping her feet up on the seat beside him, she tilted her head delicately and smiled. "Sounds exciting." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:01pm PST
He smirked, watching his bottle as he twisted it absently "You know me... " He'd completely forgotten about the girl he'd entered with, his mind was focused on older things...things he'd pushed to the back of hs mind "It's good to see you again..." (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:06pm PST
With an almost wistful smile, she nodded in agreement, watching him affectionately. "Yeah, same... I've almost missed you." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:09pm PST
He glanced back up to her, his brow cocked with attitude "Almost?" (NT) -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:11pm PST
She smirked and winked teasingly. "Yeah, almost. It's been kinda nice to be adored and fawned over by guys, rather than bullied and made fun of." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:17pm PST
He rolled his eyes good humourdly, smirking still "you girls.. all out for a damn ego boost, you wanna see what I have to put up with to make girls feel good" -- Sol, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 6:21pm PST
Smothering a smirk, she raised her drink to her lips before responding teasingly. "Aw, c'mon, you're always sufficiently rewarded, undoubtedly. Don't be such a baby, baby." (NT) -- Lani, Tue, Jan 14 2003, 9:45pm PST
He smirked a little and let his glance wander, somewhat amused, she was of course right. "i guess I can deal.." (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:26pm PST
"I know, life's tough." She rolled her eyes and slouched down a little into the seat. "So've you got a place to stay yet?" (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:28pm PST
He shakes his head a touch, glancing bavk to her "Nah I'm booked into a hotel... how about you...you live round here?" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:30pm PST
"Yeah, got an apartment. I have an extra room - if you're not too afraid of me cramping your style, you're welcome to it." She stuck her tongue out playfully before finishing off her drink. (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:37pm PST
He cocks a brow, watching her with a shrug "Well I guess... it would mean I could vet the guys you date I supose..." he smirks a touch, playful (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:41pm PST
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms under her chest. "I don't need your approval of every guy that I see." Her tone was firm, though Sol and Colby had always been like that - critical and picky about the friends she had. (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:44pm PST
He grins a little, shaking his head "Nah see you're wrong... you do need it, you just don't want it" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:45pm PST
Brows furrowing delicately, she shook her head stubbornly. "I don't need a chaperone. I'm a big girl now." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 3:47pm PST
He tipped his head, watching her before smirking a touch "Maybe... but as long as you don't tell me you never wanna see me again I'll always have your back (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:01pm PST
She smiled a touch and dropped her head back to rest against the back of the benchseat. "I know... So you're gonna keep me company for a little while atleast?" (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:03pm PST
He nodded a touch, tipping his chin up slightly "Yeah... it could be entertaining I guess" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:11pm PST
"Yeah, it could be." She smirked, sitting up a little and glancing at her watch. "Well, it's almost past my bedtime so I'm gonna head out pretty soon." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:13pm PST
he drains his corona and slides out of the booth "I'll walk you home shorty" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:18pm PST
She rolled her eyes but stood, patting his arm as she brushed past him. "Just a second." Shrugging on her fitted black leather jacket, she headed over to the bar to say a quick goodbye to her friend 'tending the bar. When she finished, she gave him a gentle shove and headed towards the door. "Thanks, dad." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:22pm PST
He smirks and rolls his eyes, following her out of the bar and handing her his jacket "Here it's cold out" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:25pm PST
"I got a jacket, and you'll be cold if you give me that." She pushed away the offer and led the way down the dimly lit sidewalk. (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:27pm PST
He rolls his eyes at her excuse for a jacket, shaking his head "And you'll be sick if I don't...just take the jacket" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:33pm PST
Huffing, she shrugged th much-too-large jacket on and glared up at him. "You're such a pain." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:35pm PST
He grins, hooking his arm over her shoulders with a wink "You love it" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:38pm PST
She smirked, draping an arm around his waist and tucking close to his side. "Only sometimes..." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:41pm PST
he smirks and hugs her to his side playfully, glancing down at her as they walked "Admit it...you've missed me like shit" (NT) -- Sol, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:47pm PST
She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "Yeah, I have. But you've missed me too." (NT) -- Lani, Thu, Jan 16 2003, 4:48pm PST
