"Most people believe that. Think of something original." I say inclining my chin some.
I look at him and it seems there's something on his mind. "What are you thinking about? Distraction perhaps?"

I roll my eyes slightly, because I wasn't trying to be original. I just do think she's derranged...and also a whore, but we've already been over that one so I'm not going to say it again.
"I'm thinking about going away now," I shrug, "Versus staying here and continuing to be distracted."

"How are you being distracted Logan?" I ask still tilting my head to the side before feeling my overcast still a light pink but at least it was fading. "Still having thoughts of Arden? Has she done something to make you not trust her or something along the lines?"

"Talking is a good way of being distracted," I reply, frowning at her guardedly because I don't know what's going on anymore, before frowning further at what she says next.
Talking about that of course is not a good way to be distracted, because that's exactly what I was trying to not think about, and I thought we'd already been over this anyway. So I don't dignify that with an answer.

"I mean has she been a little off, like with Riley perhaps? I spoke to him last night, heard you were over there about her kissing him." I say with a light shrug. "I figured you meant that you wanted that sort of distraction to be honest and seeing as I'm a whore already."

"Well, I'll thank you kindly to shut the fuck up about that, Ruby," I mutter, then raise an eyebrow...because that hadn't been what I was getting at...not at all and she took me by surprise there.
But that's ridiculous. Very ridiculous and hadn't even crossed my mind, even if she is a whore.

"It's not my fault that your girlfriend cheated on you love." I say giving him a light shrug before smiling at him almost in the most innocent way. "Either you're thinking of what I just said now or still shocked at my statement."

"It's your fault you keep bringing it up," I reply irritably, then glance at her again as opposed to the floor, "Eh...surprised, rather than shocked, I'd say."
And I guess I've really just the lost the will to even care anymore about what I'm saying or what she's saying.

"Sorry love then. I was just asking about it." I say before sighing a little before glancing up at him. "Really why are you surprised Logan? You've sorta had me before, but as Ruby of course." Biting my lip faintly, I roll my neck around so it rests along my back for a few seconds before looking back up at him with the same smile as before.

"No questions then," I decide firmly, "No more questions."
That smile is actually vaguely creepy and I think I've only just noticed with any semblance of significance that I think she's actually propositioning me and that's a little weird. It's also a little weird that I'm sort of tempted, in an absent-minded way anyway rather than a real conscious one.
"You're not Ruby," I half-shrug, "It's different."

"Fine no more questions then." I nod to him before sighing a little before frowning a bit. "How is it different. "You call me Ruby constantly and this is technically my body and hers if you think about it." I say with a faint shrug.
I have no idea why I'm even doing this. Maybe because I turned down a wedding proposal from Jack, maybe because Fitzy doesn't love me like I love him or maybe I want some revenge on Arden for breaking Riley's heart. Whatever the reason I couldn't honestly tell anyone or myself at this moment.

"Because I don't want to remember whatever your name is now," I shake my head, "And...yeah, technically but..."
But what?
I don't know, I suppose. Call me crazy but it's a little bit weird when there's a different person in the head.
You're crazy.
Hm, thanks. I guess I am. Must be, really, to be reacting like this. I don't see what I've got to lose.

"Well my name is really Rubalyn. I just prefer Shell honestly, even Shelby." I say before looking at him cause I know I finally stumped him with his comebacks. "But what Logan?" I ask before swaying a little back and forth as I shift a little on my legs.

Post by Logan Andrews on Jan 19, 2009 11:08:27 GMT
I shrug, because we've been over this many times and I'm still going to persistently call her Rubalyn, even though I know that she's not.
I liked Rubalyn for one thing, but I don't really like Shelby or whatever it is.
"Oh, just but," I shrug.

Post by Shelby Crescent on Jan 19, 2009 11:12:15 GMT
"May I ask you one question though. Did you like or love Rubalyn?" I ask him honestly and actually with sincerity for once which is not how I would normally talk to him at all before frowning slightly.

Post by Logan Andrews on Jan 19, 2009 11:14:41 GMT
"I liked her well enough," I shrug cautiously, because that question sounded sort of sincere and is probably deserving of a sincere answer.
Wouldn't say love, of course, but I don't know. It doesn't seem likely because I'm fairly sure that it's all new to me now, but if I did it's probably the sort of thing that I would block out afterwards.

"Huh. It really makes no sense to me how you could like her. She seemed a bit bitchy and a real whore." I say before shrugging a little. "So, did you want to see each other later or not although I can't promise it will be me however." I say tilting my head lightly. Lately Ruby has been breaking through my barrier in my mind lately and already I still wasn't sure why I was still talking to him after all of this. I knew it had to be Ruby now. It had to be, right?

"She was," I shrug, "And it doesn't make sense. What does that matter?"
Then I pause, seriously considering it for a moment before eventually deciding that I probably don't want to get caught up in this kind of shit, and shake my head slightly, "I think I might pass on that one."
That didn't sound quite as firm and certain as I thought it would.

"That you liked her enough as you put it." I say before shaking my head a little before raising an eyebrow at him. "You didn't seem that confident about that."

I shrug.
There, that covers all bases. It might not make much sense or even be that relevant, but I can't think of a better response.

I walk forward a bit and wrap my arms around his neck before leaning up and smiling a bit as I lean towards your ear. "If you really think Shelby is flirting with you, you got that wrong love. Miss me much?" I ask before glancing back to look at him with a faint smirk on my lips. Hopefully he caught on that I'm Ruby and not that blonde ditz Shelby.

I hope I'm right to be cautious here, or maybe I'm just being a bit thick by just standing here.
I guess it's a sign of indecision that I don't push her off but I'm also very careful not to touch her back.
"Huh," I murmur non-committedly, because it's the best response I can muster right now.

I frown deeply before raising an eyebrow at him. "Huh? That's what I get after all these years?" I ask with a bit of disappointment. "You know there was a reason why she was wondering around Knockturn and why she was talking to you. Mostly I was making her and playing tricks on her but she never really caught on. Such a blonde." I mutter before wincing my eyes at him a little bit. "What's wrong hun, don't tell me you've gone soft."

"Excuse me for being a bit slow to react. It has certainly been a while, Ruby," I mutter.
And also it's been a very long couple of days, and also it's been a very strange conversation and I'm struggling to catch up.
"Fine, I won't say it then."
I have gone sort of soft, actually, I suppose, but whatever. It doesn't matter. I'm way past caring.

"It's okay love, just not too thrilled that you're soft." I say before sighing a little before scooting a little closer to him before kissing him lightly on the cheek. "So what are you thinking then?"

Post by Logan Andrews on Jan 19, 2009 12:24:43 GMT
I don't think I'm thinking at all, honestly, as is made fairly evident when I turn my head to catch the kiss on my lips instead.
If I was thinking clearly, I don't think I would have done that. But I'm not, so it doesn't matter.

My eyes widen a little bit before wrapping my arms around his neck some more and pulling him closer as she kisses him back as my eyes close after a few seconds.

I'm fairly sure I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons, but fuck it, I've never really done anything for any good reason anyway.
So I slip my arms round her waist and kiss her back.

I can't really understand this right now. The moment he knew I was Ruby he kisses me. I wonder what's so different between Shell and I that he really hates. Probably the same reasons why I hate her.
I smirk a little against his lips before biting on his lower lip as I break kiss. "So where to love before that brat comes back?" It isn't really know about me, but Shell really didn't have Jenny technically. I had the kid, not that I'm proud of that and I don't tend to share it with anyone. But for some reason I am protective over her.

"Wherever you want."
I really don't care anymore. Apathy is brilliant.
