  I feel alittle bit left of center - but then again we've all been there before -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:14pm PDT
  lips pursed idly as male moved easily across the parking lot - dark gaze shaded easily by the night sky. He was new around here - in a way at least. Sure he was born around here - but when he was young his mother had moved away to be with his father closer to his work - the navy was his work...Dorian was your regular navy brat. A Drifter most of his life...no true friends stuck in certian citys. Gaze lifted a somewhat to the steps as he came upon them - taking them one by one and easily entereing into the light that flooded the porch - brushing hair from his eyes. His mother had told him about this place a few times - summing it up as the place he was born...and at the tender age of 22 - he figured it was time to leave his parents to themselves and move on to his own life. So here he was - the world opened to him...yet he'd chosen to settle here - go figure - the only stable home he'd ever had seemed like the perfect place to start...and with the keys to his parents old apartment - he figured it was worth a shot.

• The leggy Italian girl made her way in, tossing a sheet of silky dark hair over her shoulder. A princess through and through, the girl was indignated to be forced into the task of dog sitting for her mother while her parents vacationed back in "the old country". The twenty year old tucked her sunglasses up into her hair, pushing the door open for the mutt she'd been chained to, and then flopped onto a chair, letting out a long breath. (NT) -- Amira Valencia, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:23pm PDT
• brow raised a moment as he watched pair - smirking a bit before easily moving inside as well - the nights warmth easily getting to him. He himself was more used to colder - gloomier type of weather. Again a hand was brushed through somewhat lengthy black hair...the longer it got the more troublesome it becasue - he'd considered cutting it a few times but it seemed that the long hair suited him better - gave him more the apperance he desired (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:27pm PDT
• She raised a brow at him as he made his way in, tipping her head a bit to get a better look at him. Not half bad - she was quite accustomed to the fine blooded, finely built Italian business men that her father had been bringing around the house lately, hoping she would marry. Something about his appearance appealed to him, and when she saw him brushing his hair away from his eyes, she grinned. "I could put it in french braids for you and then you wouldn't have to worry about it." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:33pm PDT
• a brow raised idly at the suggestion - again a brush of the hair reveiled cunning - almost gray eyes - which he'd aquired from his mothers side of the family of course - along with most of his other features. His voice - although gentle - was low - seemingly powerful for being so quiet I think ill pass on that - thanks for the offer though (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:37pm PDT
• "Come on, it's the metrosexual way... you'd be much prettier, and everyone could see your gorgeous eyes." She nodded firmly as though she knew what she were talking about - because she did. It was then that her mothers dog decided to hoist it's huge body up onto her lap, and she frowned pushing the great dane away. "Roman! Off!" (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:41pm PDT
• he couldnt help but smirk a bit at the sight of the massive dog - tilting is head a bit before offering it a piece of the bread he'd been eating away at - in attempts to help her in her conquest of getting the dog off of her...He yours? (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:43pm PDT
• She shook her head firmly, finally successful in pushing the 125 lb dog off of her lap, and wiping her lap off. "That's gonna bruise.... no, he's my mother's.. but she's in Italy, so I am in charge of both the household and the wild beasts." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:46pm PDT
• he bent over slighty to pass the dog the remainders of his slice of bread - smiling idly He doesnt seem that bad - just starved for attention a hand easily moved to rub the dog between its ears Right bub? (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:48pm PDT
• She shook her head a little, scowling. "We've been sworn enemies since he ate my Hollywood Hair barbie in eleventh grade..." She looked around innocently. "Not that I was playing with it or anything, but... it was a childhood momentum." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:53pm PDT
• he tilted his head at that - laughing idly You had barbies....in the 11th grade? he stood again - easily brushing dark hair from eyes before introducing himself finally Names Dorian... (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:55pm PDT
• She shook her head, trying to explain. "I still had them, but they were locked away in a trunk... " she finally just gave up with a sigh, shaking her head, and then offered her hand to be shaken. "Amira Valencia." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:57pm PDT
• he reached out at that - grasping lightly at her hand before shaking Its a pleasure Amira...with that his gaze finally got the chance to trail womens form...tilting his head a bit... (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:59pm PDT
• She wasn't oblivious to his eyes - both of her parents had been beautiful people and she had inherited her mother's leggy, sexy figure, curves and all, and the fine bone structure of her father's, giving her features a noble sort of shape. "Take a picture, Dorian." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:06pm PDT
• he gave a cheesy smile - his attempts to hide his gaze had been few if any - he didnt mind that she'd caught him - made for more conversation Sorry...just kind of impossible...to not admire he cleared his throat a bit at that - attempting to form an apologetic sentence just...sorry (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:10pm PDT
• She smiled a little, and then shook her head. "I get it all the time, don't worry - at least your tongue isn't hanging out of your mouth." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:13pm PDT
• he gave a bit of an awkward smile at that - eyes bright for the moment was gettin close - but then you said something and it decided to go back in...y'know how things are?.. (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:17pm PDT
• She shook her head, but continued to grin, absently patting Roman's huge floppy ears. "At least you've got a personality." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:20pm PDT
• Couldn't have made friends without it - I was your regular navy brat...he settled quietly into the chair oppisite her - watching her easily (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:22pm PDT
• "Most of the boys I deal with are just stupid." It was true - they either had no personality whatsoever, were just sticks in the mud, or were entirely too eccentric. (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:28pm PDT
• he raised a brow at that - watching her carefully Boys huh? why deal with boys when you have us witty men? (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:30pm PDT
• "Men are no better. So self concerned." She nodded, and then shook her head. "They're all idiots." (NT) -- Amira, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:33pm PDT
• he looked playfully hurt at that - a leather cuffed hand going to his heart Surely you cant mean all of us.....right? (NT) -- Dorian, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 10:34pm PDT
• She pushed a lock of her dark hair over her shoulder, fixed her dark gaze on him and then merely nodded, her fingers continuing to scratch at Roman's ears - she didn't mind the dog when he wasn't being a nuisance. (NT) -- Amira, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 5:39am PDT
• his hand dropped at that - idly resting in his lap before scoweling a bit Well fine...we may be idiots but we have our wits about ourselves (NT) -- Dorian, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 7:41am PDT
• She shook her head again, lips pressed together. "Sometimes you pretend to, but none of you are reliable about having wits about yourselves." (NT) -- Amira, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:10am PDT
• he frowned idly at that - shifting a bit in his seat - running a hand through hair once more to brush it from eyes...silent now (NT) -- Dorian, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:12am PDT
• She pressed her lips together, twisting a lock of dark hair over her shoulder. "Come on now, I didn't hurt your feelings did I?" (NT) -- Amira, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:15am PDT
• he nodded a bit that - playfully jutting his lower lip out Just a lil'....I'll live though (NT) -- Dorian, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:16am PDT
• "I would certainly hope so." She paused, seeming to have run out of things to say - just because she came from a noble family didn't mean she had strong conversational skills, and she looked away for a second, distracted, then back to him. "So ... Dorian... what do you do around here?" (NT) -- Amira, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:20am PDT
• he laughed idly at that - pursing his lips a moment before speaking Wouldnt know - acutally i just got here - right as you walked in and offered to braid my hair... (NT) -- Dorian, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:24am PDT
• She cocked her head a little, watching him. "Alright then, why are you here?" (NT) -- Amira, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:25am PDT
• he shrugged a bit at that again - crossing arms Everyones gotta move away from their parents sometime...right? Figured 22 seemed like the perfect age to get out (NT) -- Dorian, Mon, Jun 14 2004, 8:27am PDT
• She nodded a little bit, "Fair enough." Of course she had no intentions of moving out anytime soon - her parents kept her fed and clothed, she was spoiled to the max, and didn't plan on leaving anytime soon. (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 5:34am PDT
• he shook his head playfully at that - dark hair moving idly at that I dont tend to like it - i liked just getting what i have - not having to work for it... (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 7:20pm PDT
• It was then that she realized a truth about him - he was as spoiled as her it would seem, and she enjoyed it. She smiled a little bit, and nodded. "It's a nice feeling to have everything handed to you." (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 8:51pm PDT
• he pointed a finger playfully at her - a grin gracing handsome features You wait 'till your parents stick you out on your ass - you'll be in my boat (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 8:53pm PDT
• She smiled, tipping her head back, and then shook her head firmly. Angelo would never turn her out, she could live there until she was old and shriveled, she knew. "My father would never allow my mother to send me off." (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 8:54pm PDT
• he shifted a bit in his seat - tilting his head a bit Well - you're welcome in my boat if they ever do...eh? (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 8:56pm PDT
• She shook her head firmly again. "No, it's not going to happen.I know this for a fact." (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 8:59pm PDT
• Alright - just thought I'd throw out an offer...he grinned playfully at that - leaning back into his seat again - brushing hair to the side (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:01pm PDT
• She got up, offering the "stay" command to Roman, and headed toward the kitchen. "Want anything?" (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:05pm PDT
• he slipped out of his chair easily at that - wandering towards the kitchen after her - head tilted a bit what ever you're having (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:06pm PDT
• She looked over her shoulder at him and got herself a bottle of water and a large orange. "You sure you want this?" (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:12pm PDT
• he pursed his lips - shaking his head a touch at that before ducking easily into the fridge - snatching at the jug of orange juice instead Instead of just eating an orange and water - orange juice sounds better (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:17pm PDT
• It was how she kept herself from binging on rich foods and such when she ate dinner with her parents - an hour before dinner, she'd down half a glass of water, a whole orange, and then the rest of the water, and be almost entirely filled up by the time it was time to eat - and she did so now, efficiently, as though she were doing something like painting a wall as opposed to eating. (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:19pm PDT
• he shook his head quietly at that - lifting himself up onto the counter - helping himself to the jug of orange juice You spoiled girls are crazy...y'know that? (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:21pm PDT
• She had carefully sectioned off the orange and was down to the last three slices, popping them into her mouth and grinning before finishing off the water. "Crazy? For eating an orange?" (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:23pm PDT
• he nodded at that - hooking his finger around the small handle of the jug That'd never fill me up - I'd starve if I ate that...even for a snack (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:25pm PDT
• A brow cocked as she watched him and tossed the empty bottle into the recycling bin. "You should try it some time, then you wouldn't be so tubby." (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:28pm PDT
• a brow raised that - setting the jug to the side before raising his shirt a bit - a suttle laugh given Tubby? (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:30pm PDT
• She poked him in the belly with a bit of satisfaction, pleased to see there weren't rock hard abs under there. "That's right, tubby." (NT) -- Amira, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:31pm PDT
• he shook his head defiantly at that - swating at her hand thats years of running my ass of with a navy guy - far from tubby... (NT) -- Dorian, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 9:33pm PDT
• A slight grin crossed her features, and she lifted her own shirt to reveal toned and shaped abdominal muscles. "But you don't have me beat." (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 4:20am PDT
• he shook his head quietly again, shifting from the counter I could beat you up any day kid...with that he gave a suttle nod and moved back out towards the living room (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 6:40am PDT
• She rolled her eyes and followed him out - he was interesting, she found, as opposed to the men that sat to dinner with her every night. "No you couldn't. In fact, I'd like to see you try." (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:39am PDT
• he tilted his head at that - pointing outside Would you seriously like to try me? he pressed hand to his stomache a moment - somewhat frustraited with her calling him tubby - he was just that kind of guy (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 6:02pm PDT
• She shrugged innocently. "You wanna go?" One corner of her lips tilted up as she looked up to him - he had a good foot of height on her and probably 125 lbs. (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 6:54pm PDT
• he moved quietly towards her - easily standing in front of her - ducking his head a bit as to whisper Bring it on munchkin arms crossed over broad chest at that - laughing idly (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 6:59pm PDT
• She let a holler out of her and threw herself at him, hands extended, shoving him - it wasn't enough to knock him over, but she made sure he felt it. (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:08pm PDT
• he raised a brow at that - backing up a bit before reaching for her legs - tossing her easily over his shoulder....shaking his head You may be better looking then I am - but Im a guy...i can pick little things like you up...and perhaps take them outside and drop them in a puddle.. (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:10pm PDT
• She shrieked as he scooped her up and immediately started kicking and swinging her arms, pounding his back with her little fists. "Let me down, you big ogre!" (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:20pm PDT
• at that he carefully set her down - brushing hair from his eyes - smiling idly Careful kid - i might just find that puddle (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:22pm PDT
• She crossed her arm angrily over her chest as Roman wandered over, unworried. "You're mean! And you!" She turned to the dog. "Some guard dog you are!" (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:35pm PDT
• he shrugged a bit You challenged me!...and its not his fault....he likes me because i give him attention!... (NT) -- Dorian., Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:37pm PDT
• She scowled and scuffed her feet angrily, still glaring at the dog. "You would have let him ravish me and not done anything!" (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 7:49pm PDT
• he shook his head a bit at that - tilting his head a moment I wouldnt have hurt you - im too nice... (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 8:02pm PDT
• She laughed, and shook her head in return, running hands over her hair lightly to smooth it back into place. "Sure sure." (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 8:08pm PDT
• he nodded at that - patting the dog lightly as it proceeded to follow him Im serious..his hands ducked idly into deep pockets - watching her idly, lips pursed (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 8:10pm PDT
• She kneeled, clipping the leash to Roman's collar and made for the door, "He needs to pee. He just told me." (NT) -- Amira, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 8:13pm PDT
• he rocked back onto his heels a moment...biting idly at his lip efore speaking Ill walk with you? (NT) -- Dorian, Wed, Jun 16 2004, 8:14pm PDT

• She stopped, leaning back and craning to get a look at his legs before straightening and shaking her head. "No, they're not shapely enough." (NT) -- Amira, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 5:28am PDT
• he frowned idly at that - shaking his head again Is there any part about me thats remotely right? (NT) -- Dorian, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 6:34am PDT
• She grinned, and then shook her head firmly, flopping herself down on the steps and watching Romanc closely as she let him roam the yard, his leash trailing behind him. "Now you're catching on." (NT) -- Amira, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 7:55pm PDT
• brows furrowed a bit at that - shifting idly in his place as he settled beside her. You're a punk (NT) -- Dorian, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:10pm PDT
• She looked up, grinning broadly. "I've been called a lot of things in my day - punk is not one of them. I'm proud of myself." She twisted her hands together, and then clapped them, bringing Roman over, who shoved his wet, cold nose in her armpit. (NT) -- Amira, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:14pm PDT
• he leaned back quietly onto his hands - just watching her...silent for now. She'd seem to have gotten the better of his cocky attitude - and he had nothing more to say (NT) -- Dorian\, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:16pm PDT
• She was a lot of girl for most guys to handle and she firmly believed that that was why she was still unwed. She had every bit of her mother's firey temper and stubbornness and enough of her father's slyness to work around whatever she wanted, and she was high energy, and totally spoiled, it was enough to drive any man crazy. And she knew she'd lost this one too, completely overwhelmed. (NT) -- Amira, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:23pm PDT

• he shifted a bit - moving a step down to settle beside her So...you want to get takeout? (NT) -- Dorian, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:40pm PDT
• She shrugged a little bit, a small smile gracing her gorgeous, tanned features - she was a very attractive girl, especially when she was happy. "Okay." (NT) -- Amira, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:45pm PDT
• he stood quietly at that - offering a hand to her Where too? (NT) -- Dorian, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:49pm PDT

• his lips pursed a moment - idly watching her Is there any other way to get it? (NT) -- Dorian, Thu, Jun 17 2004, 8:59pm PDT

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to earth. -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:26pm PDT
The tall young man was speaking angrily and swiftly into a state-of-the-art cellular phone, his aggitated voice growing higher and louder until he was shouting into the reciever. "Right. Look, Len, I don't care what the press is saying! Get me the fuck out of here!" The man on the other end of the line was speaking quietly, quite accustomed to the celebrity's violent outbursts. "Come on, Dal, noone wants to touch you with the latest media blitz.. you just gotta clean up, convince everyone that you're all business, and then we can bring you back, better than ever." Dallas merely snarled, running a hand through his hair, irritated, and then, with all the force in him, threw his cell hard at the cobblestone walkway coming up to the porch, shattering it. "Fuck.." Another string of curses lined out of his mouth as he kicked the railing, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lit up one, drawing heavily on it, his dark gaze set out across the landscape.

• She was leaning over the railing, looking around at everything that she had forgotten from so long ago. For once, she had actually manager to lose her brother and she was all alone. It was intimidating and invigorating all at the same time. Her lower lip caught between her teeth as she sighed. It wasn't easy being in the outside hearing world.. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:30pm PDT
• He'd left this one horse town long before he'd been old enough to be interested in the party scene, and all he wanted right now was a stiff drink and someone to warm his bed. He leaned over the railing, spat onto the walkway where his phone was smashed to bits, and then looked over, spotting her. "Where'd I find the nearest bar, kid?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:35pm PDT
• She obviously didn't hear him, not even turning the least. Her eyes drifted over the sights, smiling as she saw a small bird flitter for the first time out of its nest. She noticed a lot of things like that. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:37pm PDT
• He frowned, drug heavily off of his cigarette, and stared her down hard, his brow furrowed a little bit - what was wrong with her? He was surprised that she hadn't already mobbed him in the typical teeny bopper way - she looked like the type of kid that would be into the mush that he sold on the silver screen. "Kid. Where can I get a drink?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:40pm PDT
• With a sigh she shifted so she was sitting on the railing. Even now she wasn't like a lot of other teen girls. She was dressed cute but conservatively in a graphic tee and khaki pants. Her gaze shifted to the parking lot, having felt the vibrations of a large truck and curious to see who it was. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:45pm PDT
• He turned up on his elbow, watching her with a scrutinizing glare. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Can't talk?" He scowled, and tossed out the butt of his cigarette, reaching for another one. "You deaf and dumb?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:47pm PDT
• She had felt the eyes on her and caught just enough to see the last phrase leave his lips. Her brow cocked, eyes looking a little hurt but she straightened her shoulders. She could handle herself. "Just deaf actually, though you may have enough of the second quality for both of us..." She bit her lip, her young brow furrowed - eyes focused on him. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:48pm PDT
• She caught him off guard with her voice, with her responding at all, and he frowned, immediately lighting up another smoke - he wasn't usually much for chain smoking, but he could go like a chimmney when he got aggitated. "What? Jesus.." He frowned, and looked away, looking back again. "You're serious, aren't you?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:52pm PDT
• She didn't catch the first part because he looked away, her brow furrowing yet again as she tried to piece together his fast moving words. Her voice was only slightly stilted when she spoke - a slight lisp the effect of being permantly deaf for so long. Instead of saying anything she just smiled and nodded. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:54pm PDT
• Just because he was high on himself, and offended more often than not didn't mean that he didn't feel bad. He frowned, and took a step forward. "Fuck, I'm sorry... My mouth gets ahead of my brain sometimes." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:57pm PDT
• She shrugged a bit, brushing back her dark hair, her head tilted as she watched him careful, a small smile playing on her full lips. "You mumble and speak quickly don't you? Makes it hard to read you." (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 8:59pm PDT
• It was like he had heard her tell him she was deaf, and knew it but hadn't registered it in his brain yet. "Again, sorry..." He slowed down a little. "Is this better?" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:02pm PDT
• She laughed lightly as he tried purposefully to slow down his words. Her laugh was light and sweet, so unlike so many of the girls around here. "Yeah..better." She tilted her head. "I'm sorry, were you trying to say something to me earlier?" (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:04pm PDT
• He was actually embarrassed about his outburst now, and he frowned. "I was asking about a bar - but you know what? How about a restaurant? Are you hungry?" He felt bad about openly insulting her and so he wanted to make up for it. (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:10pm PDT
• She hesitated a moment, she'd never just gone off with a stranger before. "Um...whats your name?" (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:11pm PDT
• He'd totally forgotten every bit of media training he'd had, along with every single manner his mother had hammered into his head, and stubbed out his cigarette, wiping his hands on his pants and offering one ring-and-bracelet clad hand out to be shaken. "Dallas Brown." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:15pm PDT
• She could read a lot from people in very little time and already she could tell that he was a man used to getting his way, getting what he wanted when he wanted. She took his hand, her shake firm she released the grip. "I'm Serena..." She tilted her head. "There's a mall near here, I think there are some places there." (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:17pm PDT
• "Well Serena, I'd be more than honored if you'd reacquaint me with this town by coming out for something to eat with me." (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:20pm PDT
• She hopped off the railing, taking him in as if she was trying to see beyond the part of himself he showed off. "I don't really know the town..I just got here too but I know where the mall is." She smirked lightly before she whistled, the young husky jumping up. "This is Keisha..she's my helper." She smiled at the husky, small for her breed - she was the runt. The black and white dog eyed him slightly, staying close to Serena's calves as if she didn't trust him with her master. (NT) -- Serena, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:23pm PDT
• He offered the crook of his arm to her - ever the gentleman once he was forced to think about it - his moments of temper appeared when he didn't keep himself in check. "Well then we'll learn together!" (NT) -- Dallas, Sun, Jun 13 2004, 9:27pm PDT

She made her way into the main lodge slowly, her eyes drifting around the place quietly, taking in the sights. Her hazel eyes were bright and her lip was tucked into her teeth as she stepped inside. She wasn't out on her own and it was as exciting experience. Her hand trailed along the railing, slowly taking it all in.

He was back on fairly normal shifts for a couple of weeks and was taking advantage of the warm evenings and being a little more social. He'd been laying low for a while... all this drama was too much for him... he'd hung with Leah for a while and forgotten about those damn Sanchez girls.

-- The Weaver Girls, Mon, May 31 2004, 12:16pm PDT
The twins and their cousin Jamie made quite the easy sight as they emerged from the cars, Jade and Starla in their mustang and Jamie in her old supra, tanned and blonde and looking better than ever...
She tipped her chin slightly, pursing her lips a touch as she sighed... while she had been going crazy, dying to get back here while at her grandparents... she was now a little apprehensive. After the accident she had been in a comma for three months... when she woke up she didn't remember much of anything... and while she had been away her memories had come flooding back in bits and pieces and Nate... Nate had been playing on her mind more frequently lately. She locked the car and glanced around before tossing a smirk to Jade and joining her cousins on the porche

She returns her cousins smirk and tucks her hands in the back of her torn and faded jeans, her choppy blonde hair falling in her face as she glanced around... it had been much longer for her than for Jamie... When Nick had sent her off to rehab almost two years ago she was dreading leaving... and now she was almost dreading returning... while she knew things must of changed... she didn't want them to have. She sighed with submission and tosses her sister a flirty wink, putting on a braver face than she was feeling inside.

Starla on the other hand had been waiting for this for two years... she didn't need to go to Texas with Jade, but she couldn't have not gone... to be separated from her twin at seventeen would have been too hard. she hadn't left behind the emotional baggage Jade had... she did, however, wonder who would remember her...

• Her father had told her that they were coming back, and so she had been waiting around - eager to see the girls she'd practically grown up with. She was slouched on a wicker chair, wearing a pair of Adam's board shorts cinched up tight around her waist and a cut off beater. She stubbed out the cigarette that she'd been smoking when she saw them coming and rose, a broad grin encasing her tanned features. (NT) -- Kendall, Mon, May 31 2004, 12:32pm PDT
• "Hey girl..." She drawled it out in a fake texan accent, pushing her long golden curls from her stunning features, a playful grin curling her lips as she approached, drawing her cousin and best friend into a hug.

• He really had very little interest in the three who appeared - sure, him and Jamie were tight but not enough to send him running over there, his friend though, he seemed more intrigued.

• They to made an eye catching pair, and of course, Luke's eyes were wandering over the girls. Clad in dark jeans and a white beater, he looked casual and collected, as always.

• She glances back to him with a slight frown, she hadn't been able to see his response... and she hadn't been given much oppertunity to talk to him after she'd woken up... they'd sent her off to her grandparents so she wouldn't attempt to get back on a bike, or into that scene, too quickly "And I'm fine... look at me..." She moves a little closer to him, resting a hand on his side lightly. (NT) -- Jamie, Mon, May 31 2004, 2:07pm PDT

He walked around the front porch, his dark gaze settling on nothing in particular. He wasn't sure what to do around this place anymore, since getting out he was contemplating on staying clean just for the sake of staying out - but really, what he hold said to Fall in less words was true...Once you were in the game...you always in the game.

• He rolled his eyes, and then stretched, scratching his stomach lightly. "Oh you know she is." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 8:44pm PDT
• "Where's she at?" He questioned, sitting down and making himself comfortable. (NT) -- Vinny, Sat, May 29 2004, 8:51pm PDT
• "She's at home, sleeping." He grinned. "Too early for someone who is sickly every morning." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 8:57pm PDT
• He nodded a bit. "Yeah..she got that real bad?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:00pm PDT
• "It fluctuates from day to day - I never realized how bad it was until she started staying over more often." He nodded. "And I kinda felt bad, but at least I'm there to hold her hair and shit." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:07pm PDT
• He nodded a bit."Throwing up is gross." He commented, his head tilting as he looked up at his friends. (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:10pm PDT
• He nodded a bit in agreement. "The sacrifices I make for the woman I love." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:15pm PDT
• He laughed lightly."Asshole, you should be thinking of the sacrifice she makes for you." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:18pm PDT
• he grinned a little at that and shook his head. "Being sick everyday.. growing a watermelon in her belly.. putting up with me... she makes more than enough sacrifices." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:20pm PDT
• He smirked. "I can't wait to see Diamond all pudgy...thats awesome." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:22pm PDT
• He wrinkled his brow, as though he didn't understand the attraction to her pudginess. "She'll be sexy whether she's 80 pounds or 800 pounds.. well.. not 800 pounds.. but you know what I mean." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:24pm PDT
• "She looked about eighty a while ago..." He murmured, tilting his head and looking up to him. "When was she into the herion? the tracks were still fresh looking." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:25pm PDT
• He pursed his lips - that was a point of contention with him, or a sore spot anyways, and he nodded. "We were having troubles there for a while, and we went our seperate ways, and she was in pretty rough shape for a long time." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:26pm PDT
• He nodded a bit "That sounds like Di...rebelling in any way she knows how." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:38pm PDT
• He frowned, pressing his lips together, and looked off absently for a second. "Yeah, hurt herself to make me feel guilty." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:41pm PDT
• "Think thats what it was, or you just felt guilty so you assumed thats what she was doin'?" He questioned, tilting his head. "D's always been a partier Fall, though it was usually lighter stuff before..." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:42pm PDT
• He shook his head a little bit, still looking off - "There was no doubt that I felt guilty, but fuck, man.. you didn't see her before." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:44pm PDT
• He frowned, tilting his head. "What do you mean?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:48pm PDT
• He shook his head. "You think she looks bad now? Before, she was.. it was hard to believe she looked like that and was still alive." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:52pm PDT
• He shook his head. "That's to bad...she's a beautiful girl..sad to see it wasted." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:54pm PDT
• He nodded, rubbing a hand over his head - he hadn't wanted their conversation to go this way. "Yeah, I'm a fuckwad, I know that much." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:57pm PDT
• He rolled his eyes. "Don't be so high on yourself Fallon man, Di's gonna do what she wants, with or without you." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 9:59pm PDT
• He shook his head. "You don't understand how it is, man." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:01pm PDT
• He shrugged. "But any way...your taking care of her now, she couldn't ask for anything better man, I seen everything you do..." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:08pm PDT
• He nodded a little, wiping a hand over his mouth, the mood was ruined now, all he could think about were themistakes he'd made. "She deserves more." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:16pm PDT
• He shook his head, watching him. "I've never seen her happier." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:17pm PDT
• He nodded a little - he was in a funk now, and then had begun to think about the payment he had to make later that day. "Yeah.." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:21pm PDT
• He smirked, standing up and moving to slap him playfully upside the back of the head. "Snap out of it man, you should be cocky as all hell, You got the best,, remember?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:24pm PDT
• He looked up with a smirk, and shook his head. "Yeah, and we're making little miniatures." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:29pm PDT
• He smirked, shaking his head. "That is going to be one wild child." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:31pm PDT
• "It's gonna be a girl. I've already made up my mind." He nodded firmly - he couldn't help but be a little excited about all of this. (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:33pm PDT
• He laughed, nodding. "Glad you got control of the situation..." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:34pm PDT
• He smiled a bit - "And what's all this about Uncle Vinny babysitting?" (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:41pm PDT
• He smirked lightly, shrugging a bit. Muscles strained beneath his beater, smirking. "What can I say, I am just the paternal type." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:44pm PDT
• He raised a brow as though he were completely surprised at that. "Since when? Since Di asked you to do it, that's when, right?" (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:48pm PDT
• "Well...you have to admit it...she is hard to resist." He winked teasingly, running a hand over his head. (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:50pm PDT
• "Yeah yeah, you just keep resisting like the good friend that you are." He joked. (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:52pm PDT
• He smirked, shaking his head. "My hands will not be on your girl Fall, no worries." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:55pm PDT
• He grinned a little bit and nodded, crossing his thick arms over his chest. "That's the way it should be." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 10:58pm PDT
• They were an imposing pair between the two of them - it was one of the ways they had ruled the streets back in the day... (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:00pm PDT
• He let out a long sigh and then rose, pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his track pants- funny thing it was, to do something to improve your health and then two seconds later, put a cancer stick into your mouth. He offered one to his friend, leaning over the railing as he lit up. "I'm going to have to quit this soon." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:04pm PDT
• He took it, flipping out the zippo from his pocket and snapping to light it. "Why?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:05pm PDT
• "Well because it's a good idea to fill my baby's lungs full of toxins before it's born." He raised a brow and dragged heavily off of the cig. (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:10pm PDT
• "So just smoke outside hotshot." He smirked, shaking his head. "Can't give up everything." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:11pm PDT
• He smirked in return, flicking ash off of his cigarette. "Nah, the kid'll deserve better than that - the stink that follows with it." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:15pm PDT
• "Your going to be such a drag." He smirked, actually only half kidding. (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:16pm PDT
• "Mhm, I know, and pretty soon we won't have anything in common, so you'll have to become the typical suburban man too, get a wifey and two point five kids, just so we can still talk." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:22pm PDT
• "Ha." The sound was harsh. "That'll happen when hell freeze's over." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:23pm PDT
• He grinned a little bit and drew again on the smoke. "I thought so.. so you'll just have to be satisfied with looking after my little one." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:25pm PDT
• "So you can go out and party occasionally? is that what you want?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:28pm PDT
• He tipped his head a little bit, as if pondering and then nodded firmly. "That's exactly what i want." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:33pm PDT
• He rolled his eyes lightly, winking teasingly. "Maybe I'll just watch over your girl for you instead." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:34pm PDT
• He raised a brow at that. "Well, I want her to come with me.. so... you would have a date with the baby, and I would have a date with the babe." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:37pm PDT
• "Clever...you think your funny don't you hotshot?" He smirked, shaking his head. "I am sure I'll find someone to occupy my nights with..doesn't Di have any friends?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:38pm PDT
• He grinned, and then shook his head. "Nah.. no, just kidding - we'll find you someone... ha.. maybe you can come with me to meet Mike and meet some of his girls tonight." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:41pm PDT
• He bit his lip from any comment about that, just shaking his head. "No thanks." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:42pm PDT
• He smirked and then shook his head. "Didn't think so.. that man is the most vile, disgusting person I've ever met." (NT) -- Fall, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:46pm PDT
• "Oh yeah?" He questioned, tilting his head. "That bad?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:47pm PDT
• "He's a fucker." He nodded, spitting out over the rail, his mood quickly going downhill again. (NT) -- Fallon, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:51pm PDT
• He smirked, shaking his head. Fall always had been one moody little s.o.b."Pimps usually are." (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:53pm PDT
• "No seriously, man.. this guy is a fucker. I just want to kill him everytime I see him." He was usually fairly good natured with his clients, but the fact that Mike was a client by obligation and not choice rubbed him the wrong way through and through. (NT) -- Fallon, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:56pm PDT
• "If you had met him before this thing with Di would you have thought the same?" (NT) -- Vin, Sat, May 29 2004, 11:58pm PDT
• He sulked and glared at his friend for a second. "Of course." (NT) -- Fall, Sun, May 30 2004, 12:04am PDT
• He just smirked lightly, running a hand over his head. "Right. Just asking." (NT) -- Vin, Sun, May 30 2004, 12:04am PDT
• He scowled again, and then shook his head, finishing off his cigarette and stubbing out the filter. (NT) -- Fall, Sun, May 30 2004, 12:10am PDT
• He let out a breath, tilting his head."It'll be good for ya'll to settle down..." (NT) -- Vin, Sun, May 30 2004, 12:17am PDT
• "Well, you cant have a baby and her momma sitting at home while you're out getting shot full of holes." (NT) -- Fall, Sun, May 30 2004, 7:38am PDT
