".. No, I have figured it out." I said looking over to her. "I just thought I'd pretend not to have if you didn't really want me to know." I admitted quietly with a small shrug. ".. You made it clear enough.."

I nod, eyes closed again in resignation. "Yeah, I kind of figured that you weren't quite that thick."
And now where the hell does this leave us?
"But just to make it clear anyway, I guess... I figured out when I got back, and it hadn't gone away, that maybe it wasn't some silly leftover crush thing."

I nodded slightly at ther first statement. And I definately wasn't that thick. Sometimes I didn't get things, most of the time actually, but this was definately made clear. Even though now that I know, I have no idea what we're supposed to be.. or how I should be acting around her.
I nodded again, biting my lip a little bit, not sure of what to say to that. "So um.. Where does this leave us, exactly then?" I asked, since I wasn't exactlysure how to comment on what she said.

"I have no idea," I say, shaking my head. Maybe I can finally kiss you now though, since I'm not trying not to admit that I want to.

"Me either..." I said glancing to the floor for a moment. It's almost sort of funny really.. Even though I've seemed to like Arden on and off, or what I at least thought was off, for a while, I never stopped to think about what it would be like to actually be with her, like as a couple. So it's funny that now of all times it's running through my mind and I'm trying to figure out exactly how I would feel about that.
Not to mention, I just signed those papers and I definately feel like I shouldn't be allowed to have feelings for her. And yet, I still sort of want to kiss her, so there you go. I didn't know what to say, so I just stayed quiet now.

I laugh for a bit, then stop. "Is this what they mean about not really wanting something once you can have it?" I ask, even though I don't think that's a very good... analogy.

I chuckled a little bit at her comment and shook my head slgihtly, "I don't think that's exactly what it's like.. but I know what you're saying.. I think." I paused for a moment looking over to her and then glancing back to the floor. ".. I just don't want to do anything if you don't want me to.." Like kiss you.

Like that's ever stopped you before, I think, biting my lip again and looking down at the floor. But I know that isn't quite a fair accusation.
"Would you mind then, if I kiss you?" I ask, strangely cautious.

I had to admit, I was slightly taken aback by her question. I definately wasn't expecting her to ask that. I looked over to her, biting my lip a little bit, "I wouldn't mind.." I said after a short moment, still sort of surprised.

Which doesn't make this any less weird, somehow, I think, but move closer to him anyway. There's something very awkward about the... non-spontaneity of it, I guess.

This was really slightly awkward and I wasn't exactly sure why. Maybe it had something to do with the actually asking if she could kiss me? I wasn't sure, but as she moved closer to me, I moved slightly closer too and after biting my lip for another second, leaned down closer to her and placed my lips over hers gently.

It's not really awkward anymore, I decide, and kiss him back softly, struck by the fact this is the first time we've done this when it's actually okay to.

I felt her kiss me back and I moved a hand to the side of her neck, kissing her softly back. I have to say that kissing her is much nicer when I don't have to worry about the fact that I'm cheating on Riyann.

(( ;D Yay! And... um....))
It's amazing how much different it feels now... how okay it is to put my arms around his neck and kiss him without feeling like an evil traitor whore or something.

[ ;D yay, haha, thanks you ]
She put her arms around my neck and I stepped faintly closer to her. But a moment or two after I stepped closer, I heard a few footsteps and then something drop to the floor. Slightly startled by the sudden noise, I pulled out of the kiss and looked over to see Charlotte and Ella standing in the doorway of the kitchen, and what looks like to be Charlotte's book lying on the floor infront of her.
They stood there just staring for a few moments and I bit my lip slightly staring back at them. I didn't really know what to say, so I was sort of hoping they would say something first. So I guess I was in luck when Lottie said, "It hasn't even been three months." Ella looked over to her, but stayed silent as Lottie wiped a tear from her own face and then, leaving her book on the floor, ran out of the kitchen. Ellla glanced back at us and then followed her sister.
[[ hmm.. yes... that was terrible... my mind went blank -.- ]]

Oh... no, I think, self-censoring myself partly because I'm not sure there's an expletive strong enough for this and the only ones coming to mind are incoherent. They already hate him, more or less... and how would this look from their perspective? I've stepped back from Riley almost immediately, but I know that doesn't change what they saw. "Dammit... Ella...." I glance over at Riley, but she's already followed her sister and I have no idea what to say. ((Yeah... was kind of hard to write. But that wasn't terrible.  ))

I sighed and biting my lip a little bit again, I glanced over to Arden after she glanced over to me. "They'll be fine.." I said quietly, thinking I should go talk to them, but not entirely wanting to. ".. I should probably talk to them.. even though I'd really rather not.." I said nodding faintly, thinking that maybe we should jush stop kissing in the kitchen, because apparently we can't do it without being walked-in on.

"Yeah...." I agree, eying the entrance to the kitchen with some trepidation, because I really don't want to go talk to them as they'll probably hate me now too, but really I probably should.
"Sorry," I add, looking at the floor. "I should'nt've... I don't know."

Post by Riley Pearson on Nov 8, 2008 4:11:19 GMT
I shook my head a little bit, "Nah.. You don't have a reason to be sorry." I told her, giving a faint smile. "It's not like I wasn't kissing you." I added with a small shrug, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.
".. Think we can get away with not talking to them?" I asked glancing toward the doorway again.

"True," I shrug, still feeling like I was at fault. It feels very weird when he tucks my hair back like that, but not in a bad way. I glance at the doorway again as well, then shake my head. "No, I'm pretty sure we kind of have to or they'll just hate us more."

I nodded a little bit. "Really, don't worry about it.." I said giving her another small half-smile. I was almost wondering why I tucked away some of her hair, maybe, out of habit? I wasn't sure, but I hoped that she didn't mind when I did it.
I nodded slightly, "Right.. So um.. You're gonna talk to them with me?" I asked, noticing how she said we and wondering if she was going to.

"You think I should?" I ask, shrugging, then think about my own question for a minute. "Actually, maybe I shouldn't. Or I don't think we should go talk to them together anyway. I could talk to them first, if you want, 'cause I think they liked me better up until two seconds ago."

I'll get back to you on that. We could interrupt them somehow?))
