Dear Phalon][ Part 2

[Ayrn]

She hated the way that he looked when she told him that she was not too sure about dinner tonight because she wanted to see how it was going to go at the movie theater first. She did not want to feel pushed to be how they were before this event she wanted to take it slow to make sure that she was able to get over it long before she got back fully with him. She ignored the fact that he hated that she had bought the tickets but she did not know it was going to be something that was going to bother him for the rest of the time as she took her seat and felt rather awkward before then moving to announce that she was going to go to the washroom and she took a few moments to calm herself a little more and compose herself since it did not seem to be going as well as she had hoped since there was something between them. When she walked back she had no idea that he had stood up since she was focused on getting to the row where they were sitting and her mind was on other things. She took her seat before settling for the movie and kept her eyes intent on the screen until she threw the piece of popcorn at him and it bounced off him and he seemed forced to crack a smile. She was quite attuned to his moods and she already knew that he was in a bad mood and she wondered what she had done to get him in this state, was it still about the tickets because if she knew it was going to be that big of a deal she would not have done it. Same with the popcorn she thought that it would just be a nice addition. A small sigh was uttered and she turned back to the movie, she had not brought him here to really watch a movie she hoped it would just be a way that they would get a way to spend some time together and already she was having her doubts and wondering if she should have even done this. Was it worth the trouble that she might get in? Was this even going to work out? All the thoughts flitted through her mind at alarming rates though she was brought back to reality when the man aimed and landed a piece of popcorn down her shirt, causing a small jump of suprise and the person behind them was starting to get a little irrita ted. Though she did not care as she aimed back and landed a piece in his hair though it bounced and landed back in the row behind them on the guy behind them that did not look too please at the war breaking out between the two of them. She debated dumping the rest of the bag on him though then she would have to deal with him stinking up her car like cheap movie popcorn and butter. So instead she glared and noticed that the man behind them, one of the only people in the movie theater had returned to the show and she was content on being on her best behaviour and leaned on her arm rest on the other side of him and pretended to be so wound up in the movie wondering how he would respond to that. It turned out the movie was pretty good and full of action as she stood when the credits started to roll down the screen. She stepped out into the aisle before him before walking the rest of the way out the door not bothering to reach for her hand like she had before then they had entered. She was a little confused. Keys were pulled out of her pocket as they walked in the direction of where she had parked the car. Any places you would like to go for lunch in specific? She asked as they stepped into the car. She already had a place in mind when she started the car and backed out of the parking lot to turn onto the road and headed towards an Italian deli that Ayrn had taken her one of the first days she had arrived here but waited to make sure that he did not have a suggestion.

[Lonestar]

The smile that was plastered across his face now was not forced for fake by any means. By that one simple action of throwing a piece of popcorn at him, the lady had taken him from a foul mood to a playful one in a split second. Around Pirzi, Revikr never knew what he was going to feel or what was going to happen and perhaps that was part of why he enjoyed her company so much. Other girls were boring; repetitive. They would want to go out to the movies or dinner on a specific night of the week and that would be it except for the occasional change, but even this they resented. With her, the male could be spontaneous and unrestricted. Heck, if he was old enough and wanted to go to a strip club, he bet she would be the type of girl that would want to go with him instead of throwing a huge fit about it. Orbs remained focused on her as he threw the kernel back, laughing gently so as to not disturb the people around them as she jumped the moment it hit her then reached down to pick the popcorn out of her shirt. Knowing she would throw another piece at him, he waited then flinched as she tossed it towards his head. As he bounced off he grinned like a child and moved to catch it, but before he could, it fell onto the floor of the row behind them and the man sitting in the chair just there crushed it with his foot. Frowning, he let his eyes rise to meet the strangers, facade twisting into a hard look that matched the other's irritated glare. For a moment, the teenager debated asking him what the hell his problem was, but quickly got control of his anger to turn around and face forward again, sinking back into his seat. Causing a commotion in the theatre was probably not the best of ideas especially if it got them kicked out and ruined the rest of the day for the girl. Still, the guy had nothing to be annoyed about. They were not blocking his view of the screen and sure, perhaps they might be distracting him, but there were plenty of other available seats in the room and he could simply move. Settling back down, Rev released a sigh and went back to leaning on the arm rest, this time on the one closest to her. Now that she got his blood pumping, he found it hard to focus on the movie and kept glancing over at her only to see that she was staring like a robot at the screen in the same position he had held earlier. Shifting to sit up straight, the man reached across the space between them to get some popcorn and as he pulled away, purposely dropped a few onto her chest, smiling proudly as he kept his eyes facing forward and brought his hand to his mouth to eat the kernels that he had taken from the bucket. It was then that he decided messing with her was much more fun than actually paying attention to what was happening in the movie so he continued to watch her, only striking when she would be completely unawares. Most of the time he just playfully poked her in the side gently as a reminder that he was still sitting there beside her, but he did not let himself get too out of hand till he annoyed her. Once the movie was finally over, they both rose and left the theatre among the voices and shuffling feet of everyone else who was leaving as well. As they began to walk across the lobby after throwing their trash away, he was surprised when she did not reach for his hand. Striding to catch her before they reached the door, he grasp hold of her hand quickly then opened the door, keeping a tight but comfortable hold on her hand so she would know he was not interested in letting go while they approached the car. Like normal, he let go of her when they reached the vehicle so they could walk up to their separate doors and get inside before she turned on the car and the warm blast of air came through the heater that only got hotter as time passed. Turning to her as she asked him where he wanted to go to lunch, he shook his head, letting her know he did not have a place in mind before buckling up and sitting back to just enjoy the ride.

[Ayrn]

She found that the awkwardness from before was starting to wear off and they were turning a little more in what they were like when they were around one another. She was still a little confused as to why he had been in a horrible mood earlier so she did not allow herself to push it and leaned away from him on the arm rest. Though he made it clear that he was not really going to allow that as he reached across her to grab popcorn and ended up dropping half of it on her chest eyes were rolled and a glare was sent in her direction before features broke into a smile. She did keep her eyes on the screen for the most part though until he poked her in the ribs and her entire body jumped away from him with a small chuckle being completely ticklish. She then gritted her teeth and did not allow herself a response until the movie was over and they stood to exit the theatre. He seemed suprised when she did not reach for his hand and he did so, locking grips on her hand it was reassuring. He opened the door for her and she smiled in his direction, they parted ways as they reached the car and he shook his head when she asked if he had any place in mind for lunch. She already had a place that she knew that he would like. She pulled out of the parking spot at the theatre driving slowly since the weather was bad and it seemed to be starting to snow again making to road conditions less then ideal, though that car had all wheel drive which made it a lot easier to navigate. The sanding trucks had already spread their road on the main road so it was clear once they reached there and the small Italian deli came into view. It has big swooping awnings that were decorated in a deep hunter green and the name, Bonettis was printed on the front as well as etched on the glass in the front door. There was no apparent parking in the front and she did not really want to risk parallel parking the car in the conditions that a lot of people could slide into it so she drove along the side of the building to a parking lot at the back that was small but unoccupied. She parked in one of the spots before stepping out onto the ice, she was surefooted though so it really did not matter. She stepped closer to him heading to the sidewalk that was salted for grip, reaching for his hand her thumb moved over digits softly. Reaching the front she moved towards the door, it looked like a winter wonderland with the new blanket of snow that was starting to fall and land on the ground and cover the snow that had already been stepped on and ground into the ground. A small shiver ran along her spine she grabbed the door as someone from the inside opened it for them to pass through before they carried on their way into the street. There was a small shop with a glass display of sandwich meat that you could order in one section of the store and in the other was a bunch of tables, they did not look fancy though they looked homey. She knew from experience that you were allowed to sit where ever you pleased so she lead him into the corner that she usually occupied since it had the best view, plus there were really not that many choices of tables since it appeared to be the busiest time of day. Knees were bent as spine and lower torso was brought to the chair, hands resting on the table lightly as she looked for a menu, though she already had a good idea of what she wanted. I know it doesn't look like much but all their food is homemade, they are very good. She also liked that it was walking distance from the hotel where she lived since she did not like to drive everywhere. She used to love the walk home from school, but that would mean Ayrn having to drive her in the morning because she did not wake up earlier and with driving Taelix to school and having her own car there was no excuse for it. When the waitress came to them and asked for their drink orders she ordered a Coke since the fizzy beverage was not usually on the girls list of what to drink since it had a lot of caffeine in it and most of the time she did not need to be more awake than she was, this time was a special occasion though. As the glasses were placed on the table ice cubes clinked in the drinks with a red straw floating, she pulled it closer to her before taking a sip of it. The waitress then returned within a few minutes to take their order. I will have the homemade lasagna please. It had been decided on long before she even arrived in the restaurant. The waitress nodded with a smile before turning to the male that was accompanying her. When she had left she turned the small talk toward him. So how is the band doing? She asked casually and listened intently into what he would say. It was not long before their meals arrived. She dug in to the lasagna and managed to devour it. Leaving the plate clean they seemed to finish at the same time. When they were finished she reluctantly allowed him to pay knowing it had been such a big deal for him when they were at the movie theatre. When they stepped out of the restaurant a beaming smile was shot to him. So how do you feel about ice skating? She asked, there was a free skating loop that was set up in the park not even a block from here that she wanted to go on. You used just your regular shoes which was fine so it was more of an ice... walk than anything. She headed in that direction, pausing when they came to a large wooded area with several people on the loop, it was startlingly slippery when she stepped down onto it but she was rather surefooted. Snow fell on the ice which seemed to make it even more of a hazard.

The soft rumble of the car mixed with the droning of the music playing over the radio helped the boy to relax as Pirzi pulled out of the parking lot for the theatre and headed back into town for lunch. He didn't mind that she already had most of the day planned out in her mind. It was actually kind of nice not having to think or make suggestions on what they could do. For him, that part in a relationship that always seemed to pop up was the most annoying as it only wasted breath and time. Small flakes fell onto the car window then turned into water droplets the instant they touched the glass. Upon seeing the first one, Revikr sat up from where he had been leaning back in his seat and tilted his head to look up at the sky, watching as the frequency of the snow increased with an interested face. Looks like it's going to be snowing for weeks at this rate. Vocals commented form relaxing once again and cobalt depths swept across the car to look towards the girl. Even driving in the snow, they made good time and were outside of the bistro, pulling into the parking lot behind the establishment. When the car turned off, the bloke took the cue and opened the door to the car and stepped out. Taking her hand, he moved easily with her, matching stride perfectly while they stepped from the slippery asphalt and onto the sidewalk littered with salt to provide gripping. Just as they were about to walk in, the door was opened by someone from the inside, leaving the male free from the task. After thanking the other man, he stepped in after the lass and followed her to a table in the back, sliding into the seat across from her before taking the time to glance around him and take in the surroundings. Dome nodded in understanding as she explained that it did not look like much, but had excellent food, but he continued to glance around and get a feel for the place for a few more minutes. Once finished, a smile flashed across the way at her once eyes landed upon her facade. I like this place. It's relaxed and homey. Even better, it’s not crowded with people. As much fun as Rev had being the center of attention, he enjoyed the chance to get away from the limelight to just take a breather and be himself without the stage presence. The waitress came around pretty quickly and asked for their drink orders and then came back to get their food preferences. The musician got a sweet tea and a house club sandwich and then turned too listened to the lady as she started up the small talk with a question about his band. Before replying, the lad took a sip from his glass then sat it down, swallowing and licking his lips as he looked across the table at the woman. We're doing well. The guys and I haven't gotten together often enough recently because it is the winter season, but it'll pick up here soon. We're still working on a lineup of new songs so we can do our own shows instead of covers. How's dance been? Arms rested upon the surface of the table, hands clasped in a easy manner out in front of him while his torso leaned forward to show that he was interested in hearing her answer. Once she finished replying, the food was served and he was happy to learn that her assessment of the restaurant was correct. The taste of what they brought was superb and seemed to be very well homemade. Once they finished, he laughed as she stood by and let him pay for the lunch even though he knew she was not all too happy about it. Winking at her as he handed over the bills to the waitress that included enough for a ten dollar tip, he then took her hand and led her out of the deli to the sidewalk. Once they were on the way to the car, she asked him about ice skating and a slightly worried expression broke out across his features. Ice skating? Uhh... Before he had the chance to protest, Pirzi had already pulled him along the path to the park and before long they were on the ice, slipping and sliding in their regular rubber heeled shoes with almost each step they took. The lass seemed to get the hang of it faster than he did, but after a short while, the both of them were moving around and laughing without a problem. Revikr was too busy looking at her, liquids lingering on the soft red tint to her cheeks caused by the cold air blowing across sensitive skin, when suddenly he hit a very wet path and lost his balance. With an unexpected yell, he tumbled down onto the ice and unfortunately, because of their connection at their hands, pulled her down with him. He landed on his butt, but soon fell back to practically lay on the ice then the weight of her body came onto his. Instantly, arms went around her and he tried to sit up, only succeeding half way as she had fallen onto his chest so he had to be satisfied with lifting his head enough to look down at her. You ok? Concerned lyrics asked with a husky undertone while looking over her with cobalt depths.

[Ayrn]

While a lot of people had a hard time coming up with things to do when they were out on a date she was not one. She enjoyed simple things and turned out being rather easy to impress. She did not like to go to the fancy restaurants that some girls craved, she would rather be in a smaller cozy enviroment with good food enjoying one anothers company. She did not need to do it with $100 entrees and silk tablecloths. When they were in the car he seemed to be focused on the falling snow and looked out of the windshield at it commenting that it looked as though it was going to be snowing for weeks like this and that brought a small smile to her lips. Hopefully. Maybe we will have a snow day tomorrow if this keeps up. Of course the appeal of a snow day did not disappear even though the girl was a senior in high school. He took her hand as they stepped out of the car and onto the sidewalk leading into the bistro and he slid into the seat across from her ordering his drink and as the waitress returned she took a sip out of the drink that she had ordered before turning her attention to the male when he told her that he liked the place because of the feel and that they were able to talk since it was a lot quieter. The food was amazing and the small talk between the two of them had turned effortless. It almost seemed as though nothing had happened to disturb the easy way that they existed around one another. There was no more then a small sliver of tension that arose in the instincts of the female. A few times she caught the waitress staring at him as many of the girls in the school did and it made her feel jealous, she could not help but wonder if it came down to a pretty girl hitting on him what would he do about it, did he learn his lesson and realize that she was prepared to leave him or would he do it again? She knew that this would plague her to the end of time and she could just hope that with time he would be able to regain her trust and she hoped dearly that he would be worthwhile. After all the feelings between the two of them were intense and hard to say no to. He commented that the band was taking a little time off but they were still working on some songs and she nodded with a small smile. She was not too sure if she would be ready to face the band again anytime soon. She did not want to be the girlfriend that got back with the guy that cheated on her and got taken advantage of she would never stoop to that level, that was why she wanted it to remain a secret until she figured out what she was going to do about that. For now it was aboue picking up the pieces to see if it would work out between the two of them again. He asked her about dance. Its been pretty good, I have started out working on a pairs piece for the show thats in January. She told him before then returning to her food when it was placed in front of her. Soon they were both finished and stood and he went to pay the bill which she allowed this time knowing it would be a large fight if she insisted on paying her own. He looked a little concerned when they left the building and she asked him what he thought about ice skating though he was not given the time to think about it before they were at the local skating loop it was free and there were a lot of people there in just shoes like they both were. She was a little shakey at first when she stepped out onto the ice though it did not take long for her to gain her balance and move easily on the slippery surface. Though when he seemed to be getting the hang of it all of a sudden there was a yelp and her hand jerked from where it had been at her side taking her down on top of him. There was no one else around though so a small smirk fell on kissers as he asked if she was alright and she nodded. I am fantastic. She was so tempted to kiss him but she didn't, muscles were a tense and breathing deepened. Instead of kissing him she reached across to grab a handful of snow and drop it on him before leaping to her feet and up the edge of the skating loop with a cheeky grin plastered on features as she planned on staying one step ahead of him and she was sure that he would be after her. The snow seemed to bring out the inner child in her.

[Lonestar]

Gaze dropped from hers when answering her question regarding the current state of the band. He too was remembering the last time that she had seen him play and been around the other members. It had been a humiliating time for her and in consequence, he was humiliated at being the source of that feeling for her. The guilt rested cleanly on his shoulders; no one had to tell him that. Even his band mates, who as artists like himself in the same realm of the music world would be the most sympathetic to him, had made it clear that they had not approved of how he had acted. They had not said anything to him about it, however, and for that he was grateful. Hearing her talk a little about her next dance endeavor, he lifted his head and looked interested without having to force it. One of the things he had always admired about Pirzi was how dedicated she was to her art and she was good at it too. If she wanted, he knew she could make a career out of it easily. Revikr had only seen her perform a few times, but each movement seemed effortless, as if she were born to match the rhythm with her body and to learn choreography. Lunch passed by without any problems and before he could offer a protest, she had drug him to an outdoor ice skating rink in the park that looked as if it had been hastily put together with weak, temporarily siding encircling the man-made lake with a white trailer hooked up to a black Chevy pickup parked at one end out of which two people were busy selling hot chocolate and coffee out of the windows in the side. Without skates, like everyone else, they stepped from the snow onto the ice by way of a small break in the siding and after gaining their balance, began to slide around on the slippery surface. After only a few seconds of being out there, the inevitable happened and the male fell down only to pull the girl down with him. His breath left his lungs in a rushed gust, but that did not really matter. Instantly, his mind went to the lass who had, thankfully for her but not so luckily for him, landed upon his chest. He asked if she was alright, thinking only of her safety, but then when her head lifted and the wavy mass of her hair fell away from features while a smiling face with bright teal eyes told him she was fantastic, the teen forgot all about needing to stand up so he could help her up. Staring at her, he forgot about the people around them and the hazard that they presented to other skaters who might not be paying attention. He forgot about the past few weeks and the cause of all the strife between them. He even forgot about the shocker that she had unloaded on him the night before. Instead, his mind became consumed by the urge to pull her close and kiss those irresistible pink lips. He felt her lean in, recognizing the tension in the air and the dilatation of her nostrils with each accelerated breath she took, and his body reacted to compensate and mimic the reactions. Shifting his own weight forward, he determined to kiss her just as he got a face full of snow. Sighing, he fell back and let his head rest once again against the ice, the moment gone as playful laughter from her diaphragm filled the air and her weight left him. After a moment of recovery, during which the coldness of the snow was allowed to seep through his clothes, the lad quickly bounced up, brushed off the remaining snow, and leveled his gaze at the lass with a devilish grin tugging at one side of his lips. In a move that he probably should not have attempted considering what had just occurred, he tried to run as best as he could on the ice and then, hitting the breaks, started to slide across the ice towards her with scary speed. The instant he started to slide, his face contorted with uncertainty and slight fright, but by then it was too late to stop himself. Arms waved wildly out beside him to help keep his balance up until the point where he collided with her. Luckily, his speed had been slowed enough by friction that he did not knock her over when he hit her, but they did waver back and forth a little bit. Extremities wrapped around her body, encasing her in his tight hold the whole time they flirted with the idea of falling over again. Once balance was regained, his arms loosed from around her and he playfully bent to kiss her on the neck just below her ear lobe. You're lucky I'm nice. He teased her while leaning away and stepping back to create room between them. From there, he offered his hand for her to take and then began skating around the pond with grace that refused to improve. After about twenty minutes of skating without any further mishaps, the man led her over to the trailer and bought them both a hot chocolate before making his way towards an open bench that was just far enough from the rink that only the distant laughter of children skating around with their parents could be heard. How's this for a skip day? So much better than being in class right now. Vocals commented with a smile as he sat down and leaned back against the wood, his one arm lifting to drape across the back of the bench while the other which held his cup rested upon his outside leg. Orbs moved to her, meeting her pair when he could although for the most part watching as she moved.

[Ayrn]

When she thought of the new dance that she had been planned she felt a little out of her element so therefore it made her wonder if it would be appropriate when she knew that the showcase would mean a lot for her in the school and perhaps it would even get her a scholarship from a university this aspect making her stomach churn not knowing if she had made the right choice to take a risk. The teacher involved had assured her over and over again that it was the right choice for her since it would be a large step in the right direction to plummet into the unknown and broaden the horizons. She would not allow herself to think of this right now since the idea of getting out of the school for the day would not be to think of the stresses that school implied for her. She knew that Ayrn would pay for her to go to whatever college or university that she wanted though she did not want to have to rely on the girl that was not even too much older than herself. Plus it would mean a lot for her to get a name for herself and to get known as a dancer. Sure that did not mean that it was something that she wanted to focus completely on since she was aware that one injury would be able to change her entire life, it was just something on the side, she planned on getting a degree in business. Though it was not as though anyone really knew of her plans besides herself. It was not long before they were out skating and she really seemed to have picked it up, though Rev did not look as though he was doing so well though he took a few really promising steps before pulling her down on top of him and onto his chest. He asked if she was alright though somewhere in the middle seemed to get distracted and stare at her and brow rose slightly before she uttered that she was fantastic and that seemed to break him from the trance momentarily. He looked as though he was fully prepared to kiss her though he met with a facefull of snow and she felt a little guilty though they were both in bright spirits as she leapt up from where they had crashed knowing that it would be a good idea to move before they both became carnage in another crash. The same devilish grin that she had at first hated and slowly grown to long for appeared on his lips and caused her heart to thump in her chest and she debated dropping the act and just walking over to him but she knew that he had retaliation on his mind and it would not be a wise idea. He took a run at her and she was too shocked to move before he stopped and slid wildly in her direction frantically waving his arms and managing to catch her. It was not quite hard enough to knock her over though she fought to keep herself on her feet with the slippery surface. He then stated that she was lucky that he was nice and it was impossible to keep the cheeky smile off her face as she spoke. Yah, I guess I am. She stated with a lighthearted chuckle. They then continued from there to make a couple more laps around the pond. He then bought her a hot chocolate before leading her in the direction of a vacant bench. When he asked how it was for a skip day she turned to him. Exactly what I needed. Placing the hot chocolate down on the seat beside her she shifted so that she was closer to him on the bench and palm raised to rest on his cheek while lips met his briefly and softly. Thank you for coming with me. She knew that she was going to have to return home soon enough since Ayrn would worry about her if she did not appear after school especially when she heard from the school that she had not been at school. I should get home, but will you come with me for dinner tonight? I will come pick you up though? She stated she was still not ready for people to know that they were back together. She also knew that if they left now that they would get back to school for him to drop him off just before the rush of people got off and it would not look as though they had skipped together. She stood as she finished her hot chocolate and threw the cup into the garbage can before walking with him in the direction of the car, taking his hand with a small smile and entwining her fingers with his. The drive back to the school was short and she parked her car beside his to drop him off. I will see you at seven? Dress warm. She questioned. She knew that the last bit would cause him to wonder what was going on. Sly smile settling on her lips as she was not going to reveal anything as she then said her brief goodbyes before backing out of the parking spot and heading in the direction of the hotel. She parked the car and went up to the room to find Ayrn waiting for her though Erixic had not yet gotten off work. You didn't go to school today are you alright? She asked in a concerned manner. Yes I am fine. I am sorry I just needed a day away from that place. She spoke truthfully knowing that there was no sense in lying. Its alright Pirzi I understand it can be a little overwhelming at times. As long as you don't make it a habit. She knew that the other woman could be a little too trusting of someone with her past though she was not one to abuse those rights and she knew that they could be taken away as quickly as they were given. She told Ayrn her plans for the night and the other girl seemed to think it was a good idea, she left out the fact that the friend she was going with was Rev though. She prepared a meal of dinner with a four cheese sauce and penne noodles. She visited downstairs to grab dessert from the catering company that was there and placed it all and some drinks in a bag. She also packed a blanket and dressed in a pair of jeans and a hoody and a jacket before realizing it was time for her to head out. Being winter it was already pitch black though she knew her way to where she was headed. She reached his house and stepped out to ring the doorbell. As soon as he had joined her she then set off along the road in the direction of the harbour in the middle of the city. She parked in one of the parking spots, taking out a key that she had obtained for the gates. Since she knew the boat owner and had the right key she knew that even if they saw her car that it would not be a big deal. She stepped out onto the warf carrying the bag before finding the boat bobbing at the end of the dock. It was by no means a yacht but it was a nice wakeboarding boat, another key this time to start it was produced from her pocket. Of course she had permission though she was not going to state that, the key was pressed into the ignition and the boat sputtered easily to a start. Good thing Damien taught me to drive it already. The entire water was still and no other boats were cruising at this time of the night she flicked the light on so that they could be seen if there happened to be someone else out and the light that worked as a form of a headlight before maneuvering it into the middle of the water far from the shore. She then turned it off allowing it to bob and moving to sit near the back with legs propped up on one end and head resting back against the cushions. She pulled the bag closer to her pulling out the dinner she had prepared for the night. I know its not ideal boating weather but I heard that there was going to be fireworks tonight in the harbour.

[Lonestar]

A proud, pleased smile crossed features while a feeling of triumph that was rather misplaced filled him at the onset of her response. Really, it was her idea in the first place to take a skip day so he really should not take credit for the day going so well and providing the boost to her spirits that she needed, but for some reason he felt responsible for the optimism with which she looked at the day. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking or he was confusing his own emotions with hers and assuming that she felt the same way he did. For the male, spending the day with her, even with the tense time at the movies, made a regular skip day into a time to relax and really forget all his worries without aid of a drug induced high. This day had been exactly what he needed too. His body shifted its position slightly on the bench to accommodate her easily as she took up the empty room beside him, a small smile replacing his earlier slightly cocky attitude as he looked towards her, taking a sip from his Styrofoam cup just as she set hers down. The sweet chocolate taste and the liquids heat still lingered in his mouth as he lowered his arm only to have her lift hers till hand rested softly upon his cheek. Instantly, heartbeat quickened and once he saw and was certain of where this action was leading, he moved closer and leaned down more towards her so she did not have to work to kiss him. Their lips met and it was like he was immediately transported to heaven. Relaxing after initially tensing up out of anticipation, he let her control his response as tissues remained soft during the brief kiss. No problem. Anytime. Thick lyrics replied as she pulled away and thanked him for coming along with her. Once her hand fell from his chiseled plane, he let his orbs drift away from her to look out across the beauty of the snowy park while taking another sip from his cup, struggling a little to keep up his nonchalant manner while his body remained acutely aware of every movement the lady made. Head turned back to look at her, the hand holding the cup slowly lowering to rest again on his thigh, while brow rose slightly at her offer. You're enjoying being in charge aren't you? Smirking playfully at her, he released a few chuckles before turning serious once again to answer. Sure. I'd like to have sinner with you. Looking back down at his drink, he lifted the rim to his lips then downed the rest of what was in the cup before pulling out his phone to check the time. We'd probably better go back to the school if we wanna get me to my car before everyone gets out. He suggested to her when he noticed that it was only a hour left till classes were officially let out. He rose with her and threw his cup into the trash after she did then let his hand hang at his side so she could reach for it and intertwine their fingers without having to work too much to do so. They got back in the car and Pirzi drove them back to the school where she pulled into the parking lot after they made sure that the on grounds security guard was on another portion of the campus. Forward motion paused when she spoke after he had already unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door slightly to get out. A questioning expression flashed across facade at her recommendation to dress warm, but he said nothing further, only nodded and offered a game grin as he swung his legs out of the car then stood, turning back after shutting the door to lean through the window. See you at 7 then. Winking quickly, he backed away and took the keys to his car out of his pocket then climbed into the driver's seat once he had unlocked the doors. The sound of her car moving beside his caused him to pause while leaning forward to stick the key in the ignition just to watch out his windows as she pulled away. Once her car had disappeared from his view, he started his engine and thinking about the day that had passed while wondering what she had in store for them later that night, he drove home. Once there, he killed time perfecting his song and spoke on the phone with his band mates once they got out of school, his discussion with the girl earlier at lunch having refueled his desire to get their music back on track. They all agreed to talk over a new practice schedule the next day at lunch and Rev offered to record some of their songs on a CD to send to his dad and the rest of the Avenged group while they were on tour so they could make suggestions on how to improve the music. After hanging up Maria found him and asked what he wanted for dinner. He told her that she would not need to worry about cooking for him because he eating with a friend that night and so he sent her home to her husband and children. Around 6 he got in the shower and dressed for his date with Pirzi, leaving his heavy coat off because he would only need it once he was out of doors. He had been watching TV patiently on the couch when the shrill sound of the doorbell told him his ride had arrived. Standing as he pressed the power button on the remote the tossed it down onto the coffee table, he shrugged into his heavy coat then went to the door, locking as he stepped out to meet her then followed her lead to the car where he got in on the passenger's side. He recognized the route which she was taking him on and turned to her with a lifted brow, wondering what she had planned at the harbor. When they arrived, he got out as she did and helped her carry what she had brought out onto the dock lined with boats on each side. He looked over the boat that she approached then boarded, but still did not say anything, merely following along while curiosity mounted. Where had she gotten the boat and what had given her the idea to take it out onto the water to have dinner? Revikr sat back and relaxed into the seat opposite the driver to watch as she untied the rope from the dock and started the boat without a problem then began to pull out onto the main body of water, flood lights from the ski rack lighting the way. When she told him that Damien had taught her to drive luckily, he inferred that this boat belonged to Damien, a man he vaguely remembered meeting one day when he had picked her up from the hotel. Damien. . . He's the guy who co-owns the hotel with your mom right? Racking his brain in order to remember, he decided he could ask her just to be certain. They made their way to the middle of the body of water without exchanging many words, but once they reached that point, she shut off the engine and he moved to help her sink the anchor so they would not move much from that spot before they sat on the back row of seats near the motor and she produced the food. Taking from her what she handed him, he laughed a little at her explanation, pleased to have both of his initial questions answered. It’s cool. I haven't been on the water in a while and it’s always best to see fireworks from a boat. Plus we have jackets to keep us warm. Though if you had told me, I would have brought a blanket for you. Lifting his gaze to meet her pools, a smile found its way onto his mouth before he sat back to eagerly eat what she had prepared, watching the sky expectedly while waiting doe the fireworks show to start.

[Ayrn]

While she knew that Ayrn would understand that she might need a day off from school to cope with what had just happened should have at least thought that she might get a lecture about how she should have told her adoptive mother, though the trust ran so deep between the two of them since they were not too different she assumed. At this age she wondered what it had been like for Ayrn, they had talked before and she had known that the girl had been adopted as well by Damien, the other owner of the hotels parents and while they were not the most supportive parents they were able to provide everything that was needed and more for her so she loved them just as much she was just not quite as close. She was much closer with Damien it appeared and it looked as though the two of them had been a big part in raising one another. In some ways it would be similiar to her raising since Ayrn had told her that they had not been around much since they were always out doing business though the her and Damien had had the company of eachother and they had been much older so therefore it might have been alright. Her mind went back to the parking lot where Rev had commented that she liked being in charge and a small smirk danced on lips. It was true that she liked to hold him in the dark and have the advantage over him, part of it was due to the fact that she really did not overly trust him anymore though and the upperhand seemed appropriate. Soon enough after she had packed the entire dinner for them she was driving out of the parking lot of the garage and out onto the street turning in the direction that she knew well to the house where the memories flooded back. The night that she had taken his car for a brief joyride and parked it back at the house luckily without being caught. She parked at the front of the house not pausing long enough to allow the thoughts to take over before walking the distance to the front door and raising her hand to knock before then noticing that the doorbell was there and ringing it. It only took a couple moments before the boy then reached the door and looked ready for the weather that she knew would be colder on the boat. He climbed into the car with her and she drove around the loop of the driveway to head back out the gate and into the direction of the boatyard before then parking and leading the way with the backpack to the boat where she untied the boat and hopped on from the end of the warf before then settling to start the motor. When she told him that Damien had taught her how to use the boat he then asked if Damien was the man that co-owned the hotel with Ayrn and she nodded with a small smile. Once they were in the middle of the lake she paused to let the engine die and pull the keys from the ignition and tossing the anchor off the end of the boat. It was soon going to get completely dark and the sun was already under the horizon line. It was stunning and there was a small amount of stars in the sky already apparent from the night. She handed him the food before settling down and eating her share and then replacing the plates back in the bag that she had brought before pulling out two drinks and handing one to him before settling back against the seat beside him, close enough that her head was resting on his shoulder. Soon enough a bright light flashed into the sky.

[Lonestar]

Silence stretched between them comfortably in the time that passed after the boat was anchored to the spot and the food distributed between them. Both stared up at the sky, waiting for the display of lights to begin, while still lifting fork fills of the pasta that had been cooked by Pirzi prior to their leaving. He accepted the drink that she handed him with a quiet thank you that would hardly be audible to even a person who was sitting a bit further up on the boat's bow then relaxed even further against the seat provided across the width of the stern when her head fell to rest partly on his shoulder. From then on, he finished his meal while doing his best to not move that shoulder so as to not disturb her comfort and was pleased to see the fireworks starting just as he set his empty bowl to the side. For a while, he was content to just sit there and watch as they played across the sky accompanied by random pops of the powder, but after a short while, the sounds seemed to create a rhythm and the music affinity kicked in immediately. Sitting up as quickly as he could without surprising her with his sudden rise, he stood and began to look around the boat. Hey is there any paper and a pen on this rig? He asked just before opened up the glove box to find a clipboard of what looked like old schedule type papers, but the backs of them were blank. Flipping them over, he reclipped them onto the board and with her help found a pen. Then, he returned to the stern and bent over the paper to scribble rapidly, pausing every once in a while to drum upon the clipboard with the end of the pen in the same repeating sound that simply got more complicated as it went. After about ten minutes of this, he sat up with a concentrated furrow of his brow still directed at the paper, while teeth clamped upon the end of the pen. A few more minutes passed before he finally looked up from what he had written to grin at her, leaning back against the cushions with one arm stretched across the back of the seat. I wish I had a guitar so I could play this sheet for you. Who would have thought the fireworks would give me a new basic beat for a song. Shaking his head briefly, the man kept his eyes on her, setting what he had been working on aside while waiting to see if she would sit down next to him again. In the distance, a new wave of fireworks was beginning to fill the sky after a short intermission where he assumed the workers who were lighting the display took the time to set up the new ones. After the vixen had settled herself, he turned attention back to the explosions, humming the newly partly-written piece of music repeatedly for a short time. It did not take long for them to reach the grand finale and the man choose just then to look over at her, watching how the brilliant colors and lights lit up the lass' face in contrast to the shadows of the night. Without thinking, the lad reached out with his hand to urge her head to turn in his direction then moved in far too quickly to steal a kiss. Sucking in a breath through his nostrils just then, his chest expanded and brushed against hers and the kiss was held till that same breath was exhaled. Leaning away, cobalt depths fixed their stare upon teal pair the moment it was possible with the distance between them. That's the real fireworks. He uttered with a serious mask, obviously not talking about what no longer was filling the sky with more lights than what the universe could provide.

[Ayrn]

It was nice to be in the company of some and yet not feel the urge to talk, he seemed to be the same as well since he did not pry small talk out of her. That was a pet peeve that was a relationship crusher for her since usually the people that kept talking like that and felt the need to never have silence were usually not very confident in themselves and not comfortable around other people and she needed to be able to relax around the person that was supposed to be her boyfriend. It amazed her that even though he had broken every bit of trust in him that she was still so at ease with him and it all felt so effortless like it had before they had broken up. The boat bobbed gently with the waves that lapped at the sides of the boat, there was no wind so there was no risk of getting sprayed with the water that was much too cold for much interaction with it being this time of the year. The air was sharp and cool but not cold to the point where she felt as though she was going to need to bundle up in a heavier jacket, she was perfectly content where she sat on the boat and dished out the warm pasta that had been brought. The drinks of her choice had been an assortment of pop since it was something that she had found in the fridge and considered to be a delectable treat. She was glad that they in the boat there was a lot of cupholders since they were only aluminum cans and would spill easily with the rocking of the boat with the small waves that were hitting the sides. The comfort of being so close to him lulled her into a false sense of security, it only being false considering what had happened not too long ago. It would take her a long time to return to how she had felt about him before being cheated on and yet she still wondered how she was able to get over the fact that he even did it when she promised herself that she would not put up with any shit from the guys that she dated. He was special though and for some reason she felt as though he was worth the second chance as long as she did not allow herself to get too attached right away until she was positive that he was not going to betray her again. She seemed to have planned it out perfectly since just as he put his bowl down and she set hers inside his the fireworks shot into the sky, colours bursting from the small balls of light that arked up over the water. She was mesmerized by the different fireworks and the loud cracks across the sky that made her a little jumpy. He did not seem to be able to sit still though and moved from where he had been sitting previously to ask if there was any paper or pens on the boat, she remembered seeing one in the steering wheel that had a small airtight locked compartment that would stay dry when the rest of the boat could get wet. She stood, walking in the direction of the front of the boat to grab him an old piece of paper and a pen before then backing up to be sitting in a new seat on the side. Legs were stretched out in front of her before they were crossed at the ankle and she turned her attention from the fireworks back to the man that was sitting there and looked to be deep in thought as he was writing things on the back of the old pieces of paper. It seemed as though it as something to do with music though she was not all too sure, at least that seemed logical since it was not as though a musician was going to have the sudden urge to write something down when it was not related to music. He then looked up when he finished writing and told her that he wished that he had a guitar so that he would be able to play what he had just wrote and a small smile was uttered in his direction though she did not really know what to say to that. Ya. She murmered softly. The sky grew dark for a moment and the explosions stopped and he looked as though he was summoning for her to move back to where she had been though for the moment that he had been writing she had not wanted to disturb him so she settled back into where she had been sitting. Head was leaned back against the comfortable cushions of the boat and eyes were directed to the sky as ears pick up the noise of the man humming the same verse over and over again though it did not bother her since she was trying to pick out what the song was going to be about by the tempo in which it was hummed. The sudden ferocity of the fireworks was a good indication that they were going to be the last group that was released into the night sky and soon it fell silent and it was only then that she felt a gentle grip on her cheek turning her head in the direction of the man, not having even noticed him staring in her direction before. A small smile was placed along features but soon it did not matter since her lips met his the shock of the way it made her feel tingled through her entire body, lids were allowed to close over exquisite teal coloured pools, a gentle inhale drawing oxygen to the blood supply as soon as they broke apart and he uttered that those were the real fireworks and as much as she hated to admit it he was more then right. Even though she told herself that the only way she could get back with him was to be unattached she could feel that what they had between the two of them was special and she had kissed other guys before and never had it felt like that. Such an unlikely duo that you would expect to clash so hard and yet they seemed to get along so easily. She did not have a comment to go with that though and she just sat there, allowing eyes to meet the intensity of the cobalt pair with her heart racing. She needed to shake herself out of this though and be able to return to normal, within the next couple moments she stood from where she had been sitting. I guess we better get home since I can not chance missing school tomorrow too. She uttered gently before getting easily to her feet and hauling in the small anchor that did not seem to have stopped them from drifting a little ways away from where they had been. She made sure to check that the water was deep enough before starting the boat and maneuvering it back to shore and to the dock where she tied it before gathering the plates and dishes and stuffing them back in the bag before stepping onto the wooden dock making sure to take the key with her. She did not have enough room to hold his hand so she contented herself with just walking beside him on the way back to the car. She placed the rest of the stuff on the floor of the back seat before stepping into the vehicle and starting it and driving off in the direction of his house.

[Lonestar]

For a while he just sat there in the dark quiet with her, the only light around them coming from the sky and the water as the moon and stars reflected off the black, glassy surface making it seem eerie and darkly romantic at the same time. The kiss had not been planned before it had been executed and Revikr was still having trouble coming to grips with it. His reaction to the sudden burst of emotion that came with seeing her face all lit up in different colors like that was impulsive and that was completely uncharacteristic of him. When it came to women, he did not like to simply let things go as they would. Long-term emotional attachments were dangerous bonds to form and he was a careful navigator of the waters when it came down to the critical time where girls tended to think that a lasting relationship would be the only way they could remain happy with a object of the opposite sex. Usually this included confessions of love and that was where the man balked; jumping from the cruise ship in exchange for free range of the sea so he would no longer feel caged with such a vast array of possibilities. In other things, it was more natural to act upon instinct and simply 'go with the flow,' however, a certain delicate smoothness had always been required in his relations with women except when he was around Pirzi. She set him off balance; forced his guard to drop when he thought it least possible. It was as if she some magical power over him and although he knew her secret, he doubted that shifting had any sort of mysterious witchcraft involved further than her body changing form though he did not know for certain because she had never told him. It would be an interesting thing to learn and perhaps later he would ask her about it, but not now, not while he was so intent on figuring out how she gained such a reaction from him while wondering if she felt the same. Disappointment made him pull away, drawing back into himself as she left no reply for his words and instead suggested that they get started back. He stood with her and helped out as much as he could while she prepared to take off then sat back in the co-captains chair with eyes directed straight forward towards the shoreline and jaw set in a hard grimace. His resentment was uncalled for, he knew, but were words of agreement too much to hope for from her? Revikr was never one to question himself, but this girl somehow made him do it multiple times in her presence. Around her and only her, he was uncertain of himself and his actions. He wanted to please her; to win back her trust, but he had no way of knowing how to go about it for she never gave any inclination of a hint that he was using the right route to get there. It did not take them long to reach the dock and while she shut off the engine and gathered everything into the bag she had brought, the musician busied himself by tying off the boat so it would not go drifting from its dock and into the vast open space of the lake. They finished the tasks at about the same time so when she moved to step from the boat, he was right behind her, a hand gently resting at her elbow to help her get out if she needed it despite her grace and balance that attributed to her reputation as an amazing dancer. She took all of what she had brought in her arms and started towards the car and in order to avoid confrontation with her that would led to unnecessary tension between them that Rev would not be too enthusiastic about, he remained quiet and did not offer or demand that she let him help her with her load. Before long they were both climbing into the vehicle, her bag sitting on the floorboard where it was tucked between the backseat and the back of his seat so that it would not go sliding everywhere along the leather as she navigated the roads. Without speaking, he listened to the songs on the radio that played at a surprisingly low level of volume for a teenager’s car while she drove him home. He recognized his quietness as perhaps unnerving for her but he could not help how he was feeling and his anxiety mixed with self chastising produced a foul mood that surprised his usual talkative nature. It did not take them long to reach his house and as she pulled along the circular gravel driveway to park in front of the entrance to his home, the man unbuckled himself, but did not get out. Instead, he sat there for a moment, working his jaw as if trying to decide something, then leaned forward and flipped the volume knob all the way down to where all they could hear was the comforting rumble of the engine from outside. I'm trying to be patient Pirzi, but will you ever trust me again? It's only been a day since we decided to give it another try and I know that's not a whole lot of time to let you decide, but that question drives me half mad every minute I'm around you. Turning towards her, he tried to keep the stiffness out of his posture, failing miserably because his shoulder still held their rigid tightness and his veins which would normally be unnoticed against his tan skin stood out in bright purple and blue designs that covered his forearm. Sighing he shook his head briefly then made eye contact with her again. You have to have thought about it. What is the probability? I want to know that if I try hard enough it will make a difference.

[Ayrn]

She hated that she balked at the kiss, the emotions that had been brought forth by the gesture had simply been too much for her to handle. They were so new back into a relationship how was it possible for her to feel this way around him again as if nothing had happened between them and they did nothing more then carry on. She felt as though in her right mind that it was too soon but it felt so natural so as she fought between the two was when she started to back off and pull away. She knew that this was going to ruin the night and yet she wished that she had been able to just dive back in but he did not realize how much her trust and ego had been bruised. She felt as though if she just tried her best to forget about it and carried on like they had been before she went on the trip that there would always be something between them that would come up again in the future to bite them in the ass. She did not want that, she wanted to take the time to heal now so that their relationship would be unhindered at a later date. Feeling her stomach churn she paused for a moment to allow eyes to be cast into the sky admiring the stunning picture that seemed impossibly vast, the stars that glittered in the sky reminded her of a grade three project that she had finished herself on the constellations and planets and she had depicted the night sky with a sprinkle of trusty glitter that had remained on the floor of the kitchen for the next week no matter how many times it was swept. Even the shower had not managed to clean it out of her hair. Those seemed to be the times that life was the easiest and less complicated when she did not have to worry about highschool girls that were cut throat when it regarded popularity, figuring out what her plans for after school was and boys seemed to complicate things doubly. She announced that they should get going and instantly regretted it since she knew that it was lame and she had no where to go anyways and it was no where near being too late to be out on a school night. Though it seemed to be the only adequate way to avoid the emotions and temptations that kiss had prodded. She was able to feel that he was not happy as he sat down beside her as she maneuvered the boat back to the shore and not once glanced her direction and this made her feel slightly sick since it had not been what she had intended. But what had she actually intended to happen? As they came within ten feet of the dock she cut the engine like she had been taught and allowed the boat to coast the rest of the way in without slamming into the dock and scraping all of the paint off the side. As she gathered the rest of the stuff that she had carried out he tied the boat to the dock and as they climbed from the boat the comforting feel of his hand on her elbow caused a tingly sensation to spark from where he had touched her arm. They climbed into the car and she placed the backpack behind the seat before starting the car the soft rumble of the car was muted by the radio playing rather quietly in the background, it was the time of day when people were not out on the road since a lot of them were out eating dinner or settling down for the evening in the case of a lot of the smaller children. The drive seemed to take a long time though with the silence that seemed to have an awkward twist between the two of them.When they stopped in his driveway she was not too sure what to expect though she would give anything to erase all that had happened to ruin the easy way in which they had fit together and to be able to just give in and allow herself to kiss him again and find it horribly hard to leave for the night. It was then that he reached forward to turn the volume down before speaking to her. She comprehended the words and allowed them to wander through her mind before coming up with a reply. I trust you to a degree Rev. If I did not think you worthy to keep my secret safe I would have never told you even if it was an unfortunate situation for myself. I would have played on and told you that you were crazy and hallucinating and even if you had told people they would have thought you to be crazy. It was true that she had to trust him to an extent with something like that even though she was sure that if he told anyone that they would think that he had just been doing drugs. Especially with his reputation. I will make you a deal, everything can go back to how it was before I left, as long as you understand that there would be no possible way you could convince me to give you a third chance and that you understand that it may take a little time for me to trust you fully again. I don't want to pretend there is nothing between us, thats a lie that I am sure not only you and I can see past. With that last statement she leaned against the tension of her seatbelt that had not been undone to rest an elbow on the center console. Her free hand that she was no balancing off ran along the rigid line of his jawline before lips were brought hovering so close to his, only giving in to the temptation when she felt as though it was too much. The kiss held the same sparks as the one on the boat and she only broke apart when breathing was heightened and adrenaline spiked. Plus I want to be able to do that more often. She told him with a brilliant smile. After saying their goobyes she was feeling a lot better about the situation between the two of them, it was silly for them to deny what was between them when in the public eye and she felt as though she was ready to face the critisim she was sure to recieve. She drove the rest of the way home in a state of bliss and pulled into the garage before then taking the elevator to the top of the hotel and unlock the door to reveal that she had the night to herself since there was a message that Ayrn and Erixic went out. Of course she did not mind as she settled into a warm bath before deciding to call it an early night and climbing into her covers feeling as though things were renewed and a little more figured out then they had been for the last day. The next morning she awoke long before her alarm feeling refreshed and ready for the new day. She went through her first class without seeing Rev yet but she the anticipation of having gym with him was on her mind the entire hour. As she stepped out of the change room she remembered it was the last day for their dancing to be taught and today was a test day that they would be able to choose their partners and be tested. Of course she instantly made her way to her boyfriend watching as Emily's eyes landed on her knowing she would have to give a speech later of what was going on but luckily they did not have time as of right now. They were told to sit in their group of four pairs but her eyes were not even on the demonstration as the coach showed them what they would be doing. Good morning. She uttered gently and meritted a death glare from the coach. Pirzi Duval and Revikr Haner, since you two seem to know the moves off by heart and don't need to listen to the demonstration would you care to stand up and show the class what they will be doing. To anyone else this might have been the perfect chance for him to embarass them but the girl had a diverse background when it came to dancing and she had tried just about every style, this move that he had been showing was characteristic in more then one different kind and she knew it well. She gracefully got to her feet and met the startling pair of blue eyes with a small grin and a wink before placing her hands on his shoulders. While it was the man's job usually to lead she knew he would probably have no clue of what to do so she lead as an intricate sequence of spins and different footwork was performed well enough to invite some of the brave people of the class to clap before the fiery girl bowed and took a seat again.

[Lonestar]

Listening to her response, Revikr kept his cobalt duo on her features, trying his best to read her expression as she spoke so he would get a better idea on her feelings. What she said first was true and made perfect logical sense. He knew that if she did not trust him that she would not have told him what she was, but she was wrong when it came to how he would have reacted. Even without the full truth he would not have gone and told the universe that she had changed from a raven into a human. He knew how crazy it sounded, but more than that he would have wanted to protect her. Besides that, if he went around telling people what he saw, he would have blown any chance he would have had at getting back with her which was his main goal. Instead, he would have watched her more carefully and tried to catch her at it again then coaxed her into telling him somehow. Still, it was comforting to hear her say she did trust him, if only it did not have limitations that she so obviously pointed out. Brow raise and he could not keep the hopeful expression off his face when she told him she would make him a deal. Fighting not to move in his seat restlessly, he waited patiently to see what she would offer, feeling very much like this was some sort of business deal rather than an agreement between too people who were so obviously attracted to one another that it was hard to not look at the opposite person if they were in the same room. He could not contain the sigh of relief or keep himself from visibly relaxing his posture till shoulders slumped to their natural position. So she was willing to let them actually try to be together again, in the public eye, but only on the condition that he recognized this would his one and only second chance. Staring back at her intently, the man's body again tensed back as he leaned forward slightly, doing so just as she did.I'm not worried. I won't need a third chance. He informed her with his usual confidence making his voice strong and eyes relentless in their staring. Like her, he knew it was only a matter of time till others noticed that they were more friendly towards one another as of recently. It was impossible to ignore the tension between them that attributed to more than just the way he had humiliated her publically in front of a majority of kids from their school when the girl he had fooled around with had been rubbing all over him while he was up there on stage performing. He watched as her hand lifted then fingers ran over her jaw line and quietly, he simply watched her while loving the light feel of fingertips upon his chin. Having anticipated the kiss the instant she came closer to him, the lad had to fight to not react too enthusiastically when her lips finally did press against his own so as to avoid a scandalous proceeding where she might think he was over stepping his bounds. Hand lifted to briefly brush against her cheek to hold her face to his, but when she moved to pull away, he let her and leaned back some on his own, arm falling back to rest on the center console while they locked eyes. Grinning, he laughed a little when she told him she wanted to be able to kiss him more often and he could not do anything but agree. Hmm. Can't wait. He answered with a smirk before moving to get out of the car. Just before shutting the door, he turned back around and stuck his head back into the cab. Goodnight Pirzi. I'll find you at school tomorrow morning. Sweet dreams. Backing away, he shut the door, but stopped after moving far enough away so she could pull out of the drive without hitting him. Remaining there, he watched as she left his house, lifting his hand while she tapped her breaks at the entrance to the main road. Whether she saw his departing motion did not matter. He felt all the better for giving it regardless. Retreating back into the house, he made his way swiftly to his room where he changed into a loose white shirt and a pair of black basketball shorts before taking the short sheet of music he had begun to write while on the boat out of his pants and going down to the basement where the recording studio was. Once there, he kept at work, but did not get very far because his mind was distracted by thoughts of the girl who had just left him. After about two hours, he finally gave up and put the work aside for another day before going back up the stairs, shutting off lights as he went, to get in the shower then crash in bed. The next morning he woke up groggy and only after slowly getting up, dressing and fixing his hair, did he realize that he had not woken up to an alarm. Puzzled because he was certain he had set it the night before, he finally checked the clock and realized he was nearly half an hour late to class. Heart pumping, he grabbed his bag that he would need for class and raced down the stairs to pick up his lunch from the counter where Maria had left it and ran out to the garage. The car started up easily and before long he was speeding down the road as fast as he dared to push it. Thankfully, luck was on his side that day and he did not get pulled over and arrived to school in the middle of their first class. Deciding that skipping his first class was not as bad as walking in half late on a French lecture, he did not try to hurry and instead relaxed in his car for a little longer before slowly making his way into the building. He headed straight to gym and it was no surprise that he was the first one there as the bell rang for the next class. Changing quickly, he exchanged a few words with the guys, but did not want to linger too long in the locker room. He was too excited to see Pirzi and he needed to apologize for not meeting her that morning like he had told her he would. The moment he walked out of the door, however, coach called him over to sit with the group as they waited for the demonstration of the dance they were to execute today. Leaning back on his arms, he ignored what was going on around him and instead waited for the lady to come out of the locker room and take her place beside him. Just as the tardy bell rang, all of the rest of the girls came out from the changing room with the lass among their number. Grinning, he greeted her and moved a little bit to give her plenty of room to sit beside him. Morning. Hey, sorry I didn't come find you this morning. I woke up late because of my alarm and was late to class. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the class had gotten quiet because they were listening to the coach explain what they would be doing and that drew a lot of attention to them as a pair because they had been talking. When he heard his name and hers being called out, his head snapped around to the teacher who addressed them and after hearing her tell them to show the class, he smirked and stood up confidently, turning to Pirzi with a smirk. Little did the coach know, or perhaps he had forgotten, that the girl was a part of the dance team and could practically execute any dance routine without a problem and lady luck was really on their side today because Rev knew the dance as well. When he was younger, although he hated to really admit it, he had taken a few dance classes along with his guitar lessons. Never had he learned ballet, and never would he, but the class had included some classical dances, foreign dances, and modern dance so he was well rehearsed in most style of dance even if he had not done it in years. Still, he supposed she would pick up the slack he left and could make them both look good without trying. Matching her wink with one of his own, he placed his hands where they needed to be and once the music started, they started to dance. At first, he needed her to lead because he could not quite remember the steps exactly, but pretty soon, after the first few steps, the information came back to him and he was able to take the lead from her without a problem. When they had finished, a few kids applauded and Rev could not help but look at the lady while smirking in satisfaction. He twirled her out till his arm was fully extended as was hers so she could take a bow then he moved up behind her and let loose of his hold on her hand in exchange for placing his palm on her back while they took a seat again.

There was nothing like a fresh start and the promise of something being different tomorrow to allow her to fall to sleep to, she ended up getting the best sleep that she had had in a long time and woke up long before her alarm the next day feeling refreshed and ready for action. A small and blissful smile remained plastered on sweet features even when she had a hard time deciding what she was going to wear for the day before deciding on her best pair of dark jeans and multi coloured tank top that was mostly covered by a dark charcoal coloured hoody that only hung low in the neckline showing a small portion of the shirt underneath. She even had time to put an english muffin in the toaster and wait the entire time until it popped before buttering it and managing to eat it before her descent was finished down the elevator in order to meet Taelix. In her mind she still went over what had happened the night before when he seemed to relieved when she told him that she was going to allow a second chance though warned him that he would never get a third one and he had allowed the arrogance that she had grown to appreciated state that he would not be needing a third chance, even just hearing that come from him had sent goose bumps up her arms and caused her to feel a little more sure of her decision. And after that kiss that they shared that still even just the thought of it made her weak in the knees and the prospect of getting to do that more often sent her mind reeling. The whole first class passed with her waiting to see the man, knowing that gym was next was torture. When the bell rang she headed to the change room after stopping at her locker to get rid of her books and grab her attire for gym class, it had recently started to warm enough that a lot of the girls had started to wear shorts again, so she did the same, exposing long tanned legs that were lightly muscled from her dance class, she then locked the rest of her clothes up before heading out into the gym just as the bell rang and spotted her handsome boyfriend and he shifted to make her room on the floor next to him and she sat cross legged beside him. She nodded with a small smile when he told her that he had been late because of his alarm, she did not care that he had not been to see her before the first class since she had not expected it since she had barely gotten to school in time for the first bell anyways and with the distraction of the man she was sure that she would have late to first class and not able to think about anything but him so it was alright to not have the distraction for once. It was then in the middle of his speech that the entire class decided to fall silent and they were singled out to perform the task that he had been describing though luckily she had heard the name and knew it, following her lead the man stunned her with his ability to already have it memorized and with a pleased smirk she performed a bow much to the appreciation to the class before his palm reached for her back and some of the brave classmates applauded. A wink was uttered to him before they were then told that they were going to start dancing and she stood ready to start the routine with a competent partner that would be able to keep up to her. Have I ever told you that its a plus that you are a pretty good dancer. She whispered to him just before the music started, the rest of the class she spent trying her best to keep her mind off just allowing herself to get closer and close the gap that was regulation between the two of them and just allowing stunning gaze to lock with his in an intense fashion, class did not seem to go long enough though and soon they were sent back to change. She knew that lunch was going to be a time where she was going to have to answer a hell of a lot of questions and she did not look forward to that. She managed to avoid Emily until she got into the changeroom and was bombarded. So I thought you and Revikr were over? After all that happened, what are you doing Pirzi? She knew that something like this was going to be the hardest to handle. Well Emily, people sometimes need a second chance and I truly believe even after that he deserves one. She uttered before she finished changing and walked out of the changeroom and almost right into him, approaching from behind him hands were placed on her shoulders as relaxed expression crossed features. Lead the way to the cafeteria, I am hungry after all that dancing. She told him lightly. Oh and get ready for an interogation, I already got part of one though I don't think shes finished with the questioning, you get to handle this though.
