Still Doing that Gamer Thing?

I guess I am. Yep.

Niiice.

She spoke to him at the register. She actually did. Qwerty at that point, just because it was obviously the same girl from before...he wanted to actually talk to her. It was often that you honestly saw girls in GameStop. Okay, so he did see them, but from what he had seen (and what people had told him), Gamestop was not the place to ever expect to pick up girls. He didn't even know where to begin with picking up girls...or anyone for the matter. A heavy sigh left his lips. Regardless he did say, "Uh, bye. And- And Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other online one day." It was just an attempt at getting his voice out there. She seemed familiar, but he wasn't entirely sure. He wasn't sure where he had seen her before. It wasn't until after she was out of the store that he finally got up the courage to hurry to the entrance and peer out. He saw her walking with Corey. There was no telling what sort of stuff that girl had told her. See, for Qwerty, he never saw eye to eye with Corey, because back in highschool, Chris and his friends scared the living daylights out of him. He was terrified that he'd get high from just standing near them...and his immune disorders would kick in, or asthma...

"I am such a loser," he mumbled to himself. No, but this was the first step to not being such a loser. He was a gamer, dammit! "I'm coin underscore operated underscore quarter eighty-six," he called out, before darting quickly into the store like some type of prairie dog returning to the safety of its home. There was something else he needed to do. Quickly he moved over to the games, and he took down a copy of F.E.A.R. and moved over to the counter. He knew that he shouldn't be spending his money on games. He told himself that he wouldn't, that he would control his urge this time. But he couldn't. The cashier constantly seemed uninterested in him. That didn't help with Qwerty's confidence at all. Just as he was now wondering if the majority of the mall thought that he was the biggest loser to ever exist. Who yells their username down the hall? He wanted to literally bash his head into a wall at that point and hope that perhaps the blow would kill him and remove him from the embarrassment.

He had a low tolerance for pain, so of course that wouldn't work. He took the plastic bag that the cashier held out for him, and exited the store. He didn't dare make eye contact with anyone, figuring that he already ruined his new identity. No, maybe it wasn't too late! He noticed a few girls giggling to each other. Instantly he figured it was because of him (because Qwerty's mind worked in mysterious ways like that). "No, it's too late," he told himself. Just as he now didn't have a ride home and wasn't sure when the bus would make another stop anytime soon. Plus, he didn't want to stand out in the cold. This was all frustrating. Qwerty wanted to honestly just yell at this point. But he didn't. He simply supressed the urge and sighed once more as he glanced down both ends of the hall like a helpless puppy. He could always text Bradley he supposed. But would the jock actually pick him up? Would he think it was weird for him to be playing video games?

Maybe Brad played games though. Maybe he was into sports or first-person shooters? Those were cool. Sure Qwerty was more into RPGs but he found himself enjoying anything that didn't include actually living his own life. So he tugged out his chipped, I-can't-wait-for-my-upgrade cellphone and scrolled through his contacts until he located Brad's number. He was tempted to text to Bradley how he managed to be so attractive. Qwerty honestly envied him. He envied him back in highschool when he actually would glance over to him and Tom in the locker room. Those muscles, even back then Kaiser had some (except Kaiser's were...practically exaggerated. As in the steriods made his body look exaggerated). Now that he thought about it, back then he thought that Kaiser looked like someone who had his head photoshopped to a body builder's body. Even with all of these glances that he stole in the locker room, he figured that he was lucky/unlucky that the jocks never noticed. No, instead they spent the majority of their attention beating up Mana.

Qwerty at times felt as though he were so much of a loser he wasn't even worthy of their beatings. He was ignored...he honestly felt as though he didn't exist. He would feel depressed and constantly ask himself if it would matter if he came to school or not. And after Mercedes graduated, Cristal made it even worst for him. He was constantly being emotionally and psychologically destroyed. He hated highschool, which is another reason why he got rid of his naturally red-hair in hopes of blending better with everyone else. He stared at his cellphone and just debated whether or not he should send the text or not. Should he bother the jock once more who wouldn't give a damn if he knew his true identity. Or should he just prepare himself for a long walk? He could possibly try texting his cousin, but he wasn't sure if they were even super close anymore. It was confusing. So he slipped his phone back in his pocket and just walking aimlessly in the mall in hopes of getting an idea.

He noticed couples as well as groups of girls. It was getting closer to lunch, so that sort of explained why more people were starting to file into the mall. He was tempted to go into the food court, but figured sitting alone would look even worst on his part. He just felt so small at the mall. He didn't even know where to go, though stopped when he suddenly spotted Mercedes. He wasn't sure if he should call out to her or not. He did sort of blow her off in the most awkward way that he could currently think of. Okay, so two way more awkward ways suddenly came to mind, but the way he did it was still pretty bad. "Mercedes," he spoke up, however felt his voice squeak in his throat. "Sorry that I um...left...like I had um, before," he said, feeling his voice growing quieter the more he spoke. He didn't even understand why it was happening. "Did you ever...um...find who you were looking for?"

•º°`°º•● Mercedes Jillian Secrets ●•º°`°º•




hate us cause we're beautiful, well we don't like you either


Texting always seemed to keep Mercedes quite occupied. Then again, she couldn't imagine life without her handy little cell. How else would she be able to keep though little dates, listen to music when she couldn't find her ipod, wake up in the morning without the alarm, calculate tips when she went out to eat, play games when she was bored, and most importantly talk and text to her friends. It was like her life line in a lot of ways, and if she ever lost it, she would probably whine and pout until she found it or she got a new one. Speaking of which- that was the present she figured that she would be receiving for her next birthday. One of those new droid phones so she could do that random constellation finding thing...even though astronomy confused the heck out of her. She kinda got astrology, but that was besides the point. Oh, then there were those iPhone4 that looked pretty cool as well. Who wouldn't want to be able to look at the person as you talk to them?

'Unless I have a bad hair-day...' she thought to herself biting at the side of her lip as she stepped onto one of the mall escalators. "Eww, what if someone is talking to me while in, like, a bathroom or something." she said to herself with widened eyes. A finger twirled a strand of hair blonde hair as she thought of the possibilities, yet shook them away. Besides, the next birthday coming up belonged to Cristal. She should be thinking of what to get the girl for her special day. Of course she was going to help with the party, but she wanted to make sure she had a nice gift as well. Money wasn't an problem in this case since she was practically certain that her daddy wouldn't want to disappoint his only daughter. Okay, so maybe he joked around that Cristal was her little sister, and referred to the princess as such to his parents at times, so Cedie knew she could pull some strings.

Speaking of the Heiress, she suddenly received a reply from the girl. When she was about to click into it, she noticed that there was one from Melody as well. she wasn't sure which one was more important, so she figured that it would be best to read both of them before reply to either. The first that she started to read was from Melody. It took her a moment to recall what they had been talking about, yet as soon as the scandalousness about Brad and Kaiser resurfaced, she was quick to want to see what the model's response would be. So she hadn't even known about the rumor before the text had been sent. 'I'm further in the loop than Mel?' she thought to herself with a surprised look on her face. That was new, yet kind of cool at the same time. The fact that Melody was going to be with the German gossiper today made the cheerleader wonder if he would actually go into details to her. After all, don't most people want controversial things like that to be kept secret? It was as bad as coming out that you've been dying your hair for the last past ten years or that you've been walking around with knock-off brands of clothing.

The next sentence in the text made a sigh of relief slip out of Mercedes' mouth. So Melody and Alexia weren't messing around with each other anymore- good. No offense to her friend's taste, but the cheerleader thought that the party girl's look had gone down hill ever since high school had let out. I mean, even she enjoyed a great party, but Alexia did it a little too much. Plus, what was up with that hair? Cedie honestly couldn't even think of why anyone would do something like that to themselves on purpose, but she was also shallow like that. It was practically how she was "wired". Appearance mattered no matter what people wanted to think. Especially because she figured that you're outer look went hand in hand with your inner self. But enough of that deep stuff. There was an outward frown when she read that the girl couldn't go to the mall with her. Well, that sucked, though meeting up with her and Crystal afterwards sounded nice. And if Crystal just went with her to the mall, then they could drive to the photoshoot place together. Even though she told herself that she was going to wait to reply, she couldn't stop herself from clicking the reply button and typing what was on her mind before she lost it.


If u say so, Mel.
but dont forget 2
ask him. Glad that
u arent N2 her now.
U can do so~ much
better. As 4 seeing
u later- count me N!

Cedie (:

With the text to Melody out of the way, the prep couldn't help but be curious about what Bradley Anderson had to say about all of this. After all, with him being a ladies man and everything, she was wondering what made him start to be interested in guys. Sure, she knew that there was a thing going around were guys liked to wear girl pants, hoodies and have long hair, but still. Could he seriously have been tempted by that? There was a guy in particular that she remembered looked pretty girly. The old school paper guy that was apparently openly gay now. He was practically a boob job away from going all of the way with his look, so she wasn't very surprised, nor did she think of it as juicy gossip like the Kaiser and Brad thing. Yet the only think the German had in common with the writer was that they both had more hair than most guys. Other than that, they were completely different since he had way more muscle than the shorter one and he didn't wear feminine clothes. 'Maybe he likes that Kaiser's a model. After all, you have to have a softer side for those more artsy pics,' she thought to herself as she found the football star's number in her cell and started to type up a message.


I kno this is personal
but how long have U &&
Kaiser been. . .fooling
around? He's been sayN
that hes taught u how 2
do things && junk, && Im
hoping this wasnt going
on wen u were w/ Melody.

Okay, now no more distraction from reading Cristal's text. But there was a new message; one from Trinity! Even though she was tempted to click into it, but shook her head. "Cristal totally came first," she said to herself, thinking she was going to click into the heiress's message, however her finger wound up going into Trinity's regardless. Well, since she was already in it, there was no point in clicking out of it without reading. The first line let the girl know that she probably wasn't going to see her promiscuous friend any time soon. After all, she knew better than to think Trin was the quickly type. She knew what appointment stood for after all of these years, and if it was with the rock star guy then who knows how long it would take. The other part was more alarming though. Cristal just couldn't let herself fall for Oliver again. He was such a jerk to her before, why would she put herself back in that position? "I can't let her do that," she mumbled as she started sending a reply back to Trinity.


Shaant? That guy who
sang @ last night's party?
Does he have tats all over,
or just arm? Just curious. +
that's really bad about the
Oliver thing. He's no good
for her, so I'll talk 2 her. Mel
wise? She was getting started
a lil while ago. idk about now,
maybe. . . 1/2 done?

Cedie : |

Mercedes was partially glad that she hadn't answered Cristal's message first, or else she would not have known to ask about the Oliver thing. Especially because she highly doubted that the younger blonde was going to bring that fact up. Clicking into the message, her hunch proved correct. At first glance, she didn't see anything about the dealer. Instead, she was just talking about meeting up with her in a few- yay- and then meeting up with Melody afterwards- double yay! Although when she read the part about Trin flirting with someone, she immediately assumed that the guy must have been Shaant. That's who she had her appointment with after all. But since she already talked to the slut, she didn't have to worry about texting her again about that. Instead, she was looking forward to hanging out with her unofficial little sister. The only problem was that she was wanting to shoot down the idea of a birthday party. Even if they didn't plan it and just let a professional party planner take care of all of the details, they still had to have a party. It was customary! So Cedie knew she just had to talk some since into Cristal before the day was up.


text me when u get here
since we need 2 do sum
serious therapy shopping.
I heard about u wanting
2 get back w/ Oli. Chris
have sumtin 2 do w/ all
of this? Since u def acted
like u wanted a party B4

Cedie :/


She found herself browsing a jewerly rack/chart thing as she sent the text, then stuck her phone back into her purse so she could have bother of her hands back. She didn't want to do too much shopping before. Plus, she didn't want to go too far into a store yet. That's what made the random carts and things set up in the large hall so great. Looking through the beaded necklaces, she tried to find one that would look good with what she currently had on. "Maybe this one," she mumble to herself as her fingers trailed over it. It was then that she heard her name squeaked, which captured her attention. "Hmm? sounded from her as she looked over. It was Qwerty again. Last she remembered he ran off to that game store, but apparently he didn't stay in there long. "Oh hey you," she cooed with a light giggle at the way he stammered. "It's okay. I'm guessing they had a sale?" she asked trying to justify what he had done. However, when he asked about who she was looking for, she shrugged her shoulders. "Not quite. At least she's still on her way here. Anyways, you know Bradley and Kaiser, right? Well, did you hear that- oh wait, nevermind. I probably shouldn't be spreading that." she figured that the least she could do was figured out more of the details. After all, Brad still hadn't replied to her message. He could have said something important in it. But still...the prep hated keeping secrets! "Is it weird for guys to be bi? I mean, it's like more and more people around me a turning that way." The last sentence was said through a sigh, since she honestly didn't get it. Why couldn't people just like one gender anymore?

All we care about is: Runway Models, C a d i l l a c s &[/color]& Liquor Bottles

It was a fairly rare occasion that Melody ever ran late. She was a very punctual person, well when it came to her job she was. There were a few occasions when she would go meet up with her friends that maybe she was among the last few to show up. It was just when she had to doll herself up. She wasn't one of those models that didn't know how to take care of her own appearance; she could do that quite well actually. So seeing as she didn't have to get herself fixed up for her work, she was rarely late. If the make-up process took longer than was needed, she blamed the make-up artists. After all, it was their job to do the make-up. She was just there to advertise something or to help up and rising photographers build a portfolio. Being told by Leo that she was needed for the shoot, well damn, that made Mel feel very unprofessional. She was a professional model who needed to be on time. From Leo's reactions, she felt as though she was going to be rushed. That was not a good thing at all. She hadn't even known that Kaiser entered the building, much less knew that it was time to get things started. Damn her cell phone. If she hadn't been so sucked into her phone, she probably would have seen him enter the building.

She went through hair and make up, also making sure that everything looked good. She couldn't look rank. She wanted to make sure that everything was top notch. When hair and make up was done, she was quick to get into that lingerie that the wardrobe person was handing her. She didn't think that she might have to get out of the lingerie, even though the theme was intimacy. In fact, she really didn't have much of an idea of what was going to really go on here, but she was ready for it. She was about ready to take off when she looked at her phone once more. She debated on whether or not to bring it with her. She thought it would be kind of pointless due to the fact that she wouldn't be able to text or anything while the shoot was going on. So she just left her phone in her bag, but made a mental note to pick it up and check it as soon as she got the chance to. She knew that she'd at least have two texts by the time she got back, if not more. With all that done, she checked herself in the mirror one last time and being satisfied with what she saw, she grinned at her reflection and went to the other room. Seeing Kaiser and others there already, she felt the need to explain herself for being late.

Upon walking into the room, It seemed as though Kaiser was preoccupied with something. Her apology seemed kind of useless at that point. She didn't say anything and when she walked into the room, she saw that Kaiser was talking to his manager and there was something peculiar going on. What it was, Melody didn't know. She just surveyed the room a little bit. She kind of got a feel for the ideas that the photographer had in mind, but at the same time, she didn't really care, this was going to be one hell of a shot, it was her and Kaiser. She honestly didn't think there would ever be a more attractive duo, especially for this kind of shot. Sure, what Mercedes had texted her with earlier popped up in her mind, but this wasn't the time, nor place to ask about that. Maybe when they were leaving she'd ask... she was also very curious as to whether or not what she was told was legit. When things calmed down a bit and Kaiser apologized for snapping at his manager, Melody chuckled. She honestly didn't care if he had snapped at his manager, sometimes something like that was needed. She knew that there had been a few times where she had raised hell when it came to something that Leo did or didn't do. When Kaiser said something about good help being hard to find, Melody nodded "That's very true"

When it was about time to get this show on the road (or whenever Kaiser was done with his phone… which ever seemed more apparent… Mel was going with the first option) Kaiser had said something to her and she instantly was confused… she didn’t know if she should be offended or flattered. Melody honestly, didn’t know a lick of German. She had been raised in America her whole life… English was her native language and she planned to keep it that way. She believed that everyone else should learn English. Kaiser’s accent was very attractive, but at the same time, it was almost damn near impossible to understand a damn word the German exchange student said. After his ‘wonderschön’ comment, she just gave him a slightly confused look and nodded ”Thank… you?” She said. She really didn’t know what to say. She had no clue what he said and it seemed as though he wasn’t going to be translating for her. That was the only flaw about working with him, some of the times, she couldn’t understand him. He knew how to text perfect English, but when it came to actually speaking to him, well that was a bit of a different story. When he took his robe off, she was honestly surprised to find out that he was wearing underwear. She remembered from high school how confident he was about everything, so the fact that he was wearing them… well it just was a little shock, nothing too big.

When Kaiser asked if they were going to be wearing this in the tub, She chuckled and crossed her arms across her midriff. She didn't care about taking n***s, if the photographer wanted it, Melody would strip down, if he had no preference she would do whatever she felt was a good idea and if the photographer wanted the lingerie on, then she'd keep it on. Hearing that the photographer didn't care, she looked to Kaiser. He started speaking in German again and it was making Melody's head spin. She didn't understand. She understood that he wasn't afraid to take n***s and that he believed that they were all professional adults.. then when he started to dabble back into the German, she was lost. When he asked if he was correct, she grinned and gave a nod "I'll have to agree with you on that, Kaiser" She said. She wasn't going to specify which part she agreed on, but then she too walked over to the tub and saw how big the inside of the tub was, not that big at all. They wanted intimacy, they knew how to get it. She undid the top of the lingerie and let it drop to the floor, not caring where it landed, nor what her manager had to say. She stepped into the tub, that was empty, and sat down and leaned against the back of the tub and waited for Kaiser to get into the tub as well so that they could get this shoot going. She grinned at him "Ready to get to work?"

Corey Mae felt her phone vibrate in her pocket as she waited for Patty to finish up buying her game. She was itching to see who it was that had texted her, but she had just promised Patty that she had her full undivided attention. She wasn’t all that close to Patty, which was why she didn’t take out her phone and start to text whoever it was that texted her. (Not Kaiser, God willing) It might sound odd, but if she was around Basil or Sami she would whip the thing out and say, “hold on.” But around someone she didn’t know, it just seemed rude. Not that it wasn’t rude to her two best friends . . . she just felt more comfortable? Maybe that was the word. But who knew. Patty didn’t take long, and Corey pretended not to notice the person she said something to. He looked oddly familiar, but Corey couldn’t place the face. Maybe it was someone she saw on the street, or maybe it was someone she went to high school with, who really knew these days, people where everywhere. She suppressed the urge to ask Patty who the guy was and if she knew him for long. She didn’t want to pry that far into Patty’s personal life. Though it would be interesting to hear about Patty’s love life instead of her own nonexistent one. Come to think of it, she didn’t know much about Patty besides the fact that she was a video game addict and she worked as a florist. This was bad. How could she spend the day with someone she knew so little about? Suppose Corey could ask her a ton of questions? How rude of her to talk to Patty just about her problems! Did Corey not a brain?

Luckily enough, Patty’s apartment wasn’t a long drive away. She followed the simple instructions she was given and arrived at the florist’s apartment complex. The complex looked a lot like any other place, so she wasn’t too blown away. Patty’s apartment on the other hand, looked nothing like either a florist or a gamer lived there. She expected a gamer’s place to be . . . well, this was going to sound mean, but extremely messy. Pizza boxes everywhere, controllers thrown about, dirty dishes piled in a corner, dark drab curtains, very, very dark colored walls and carpet and some posters of game heroes. Patty’s place didn’t look like that at all. On the other hand, for a florist she expected bright colors, flora print everything and just the room littered with sweet smelling flowers in vases. As Corey did notice the one or two arrangements, they weren’t what she was expecting. Patty’s apartment wasn’t even a happy medium of the two. It was clean, but it wasn’t cluttered with flowers. It wasn’t that she was disappointed neither of her bias thoughts were correct . . . just when you think of a homeless person, you see the old man with the long white beard pushing a shopping cart full of useless items. You never think of the young family living in a car parked outside. Society had their thoughts on what was correct and sometimes being slapped in the face with what really is, was refreshing. By the time, Corey was getting used the place, Patty came back with what she guessed was her game system and whatever else she needed. “You got everything?” Corey asked politely, she honestly wouldn’t know if Patty did forget something. She wasn’t a gamer. She wasn’t even close. She didn’t even know how to hook the contraption up to the TV much less work the controls of the actual game. When Patty said she was sure, Corey walked back to the car with her.

Crouse the ride to and from wasn’t silent, yet it wasn’t full of awkward music listening either. Believe it or not, Corey and Patty could talk. Granted they weren’t Chatty-Cathys, (as much as Corey could chat your ear off) but small talk was nice. It wasn’t anything heavy, Corey would just feel down if they talked about her problems. Sometimes there were lulls in conversation, but they weren’t stifling. At Corey’s place, another apartment complex, She parked and lead Patty up to her place. “And here we are at my lovely abode.” Corey’s place really showed off her personality, not to mention she used to live with Chris so some of his was thrown about, whatever he left behind that was. The place was full of Corey’s favorite purple color and her trait as a pack-rat showed off in some nice little knick-knacks on shelves. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was thinking “empty” abode, but she shut it out. She had Patty here to spend time with. She wasn’t really alone. “Go ahead and make yourself at home, and hook up that xbox-thingymabob. Do you want anything to drink or eat?” Corey was trying to be a good hostess. She took her shoes off by the door as she spoke, she really didn’t expect Patty to, unless she wanted to. “You know what, hold that thought, I gotta visit the restroom.” Truth be told, Corey couldn’t stand it anymore, her phone must have vibrated a thousand times. She just had to answer or at least look at the texts before she sat down and played some games. Of course as soon as she saw the first text she missed she was happy she snuck away to the bathroom. She sighed, least he wasn’t mad at her for telling him she couldn’t meet up with him. She was sure she wanted to see him again. She just wasn’t. . . sure-sure. If that made any sense at all. She wanted to see him, wanted to tell him she could be better, and that this pregnancy was all her fault and that she would gladly give it up for adoption after it was born as long as he stayed with her. But she was scared their meeting would just bring her down to a point of wanting nothing to do with anything at all. Instead of thinking on that dark train ride to horrorland, she texed back.

Sorry. I’m also a little disorganized, least
you aren’t alone. I’ll text you sometime
when I can meet you? Maybe at the game?
<3333333333333333Core-Core

She sent and then looked at the next message. She felt instantly better that it was Sami. She texted back quickly.


Sami, love, did I ever tell you how much of an
absolute angel you are? I would do anything for you.
But the special dinner. . . Hmm. I dunno,I think I can
work that into my busy, busy, busy schedule. I dunno
who this Trevor is, but I shall be his date! No sex though.
Gotta keep my virtue. ;] BUTYEAH, tell me what time I
Need to be there and ready, and I’m with ya! <3
<33333333333333333333Core-Core

So maybe her phone did not vibrate a thousand times. It must have been a figment of her imagination only because she wanted to answer them so badly beforehand. She was glad she did. Chris ad Sami were important people in her life. Even if Chris currently hated her, she was still important to her. And Sami’s important “special” dinner made Corey curious. What was the blue haired beauty thinking up in that noggin of hers? As glad as she was that Kevin was reuniting with an old friend, she, also, wondered who the friend was. Hmm. Oh well, all would make since at this dinner. OHWAIT, Did this mean Corey would get free food? Heck yes, in it end it was all worth it. She shrugged and went back out of the bathroom and into the living room where her TV and Patty was. She seemed to have no problems hooking in the xbox and everything else. Corey was impressed she wasn’t asked anything. Not that she could answer Patty if she asked, “Where do I plug this in at, Corey?” because she wouldn’t know. Corey walked over the couch and sat down to watch Patty play when she remembered she had yet to get her friend something to drink or eat. “OH! Patty, did you figure out if you wanted something to drink?” she had to get herself something to drink… and maybe make herself something to eat too. It really wouldn’t be putting her out to grab two sodas or water instead of one, a point Corey would gladly point out if need be.

It always amused Justin how eager the little dog would be on his walks, or when he'd yank his girlfriend around. Maybe because for him, the dog looked small. He was a Boston Terrier mix after all. Regardless he walked beside Hyori taking in their surroundings. The city. From all the years that he had lived in New York, you'd think he'd get use to it. And yet, he still missed the simplicity of his old hometown. Sure there were plenty of cities in Tennessee, but he truthfully lived not too far from a park, in a little cul-de-sac. One of these days he had actually planned on moving back to somewhere that wasn't too close to the loud sounds of traffic, or sidewalks that were constantly crowded. He was fortunate that where their apartment was located wasn't the crosswalk for the major corporations. The sidewalks were fairly easy to deal with, just as they weren't far from Central Park. Did he see his life with Hyori though? That was the question he was always asking himself now. It was almost as if he couldn't go an hour without the thought crossing his mind.

Why couldn't he get over it? He wanted to so badly just drop what had happened in the past, and move on with the future. It's not like she had cheated on him sense he found out. Or had she? No, Justin doubted it. It was just one of those things that he wanted to ask someone about. But who could he turn to? Out of his friends he wasn't sure if any of them would honestly understand. If anyone, he'd pick Roiry, just because they were best-friends back in highschool. Maybe it was because Yulia and Logan always seemed to team up when it came to their clique. He really wanted to see them again. When Ri's hand swiftly moved from his, he couldn't help but wonder if it would be possible or not. She apologized which he nodded towards. It made sense. It wasn't his fault that she let go of his hand. Instead he quickly asked, "Do you want me ta walk him? I mean, I can." Part of him thought that the conversation of friends would be dropped. Usually whenever something awkward would occur, they would drop it. Maybe communication was a problem?

Fortunately she was talking about it. She even mentioned that she had spoke to Kandance. There were times when Justin was surprised that she didn't want to do the whole 'double date' thing. Her friend was dating his friend afterall. And yet the mention of Clarissa left him feeling uneasy. It only reminded him of the fact that he had made a fool of himself just the night before. It honestly sounded like she had so many plans that she cancelled just to be with him. A look of guilt slipped into place. He just couldn't help it. He soon pushed it away and said, "Ri, you didn't have ta cancel everything on account of me. You know your days off come rarely." He was lightly joking on the last part, and yet partially wasn't. It was almost as if their schedules forced them to put a lot of their personal lives on hold. Regardless she agreed with him. It was a relief, more than a relief that she understood where he was coming from. Justin resisted the urge to sigh in relief. Instead he allowed a smile to slip into place.

"An' it's only lunch. Those are the only real plans I had for today," he blurted out. The moment the words were out in the open, he wasn't sure if he should have worded it like that or not. "At least, that I've heard of--- an' it shouldn't take too long," he added in hopes of softening the blow of everything. He figured he had nothing to worry about. She had even said that tonight he would be all hers. He had no issue with that at all. That was why the reason that he soon lightly kissed her forehead. "Of course, love," he whispered when his lips parted from her skin. Justin's hand, that wasn't holding the umbrella (that he brought just in case they really needed it), reached into his pocket and drew out his cellphone and he texted to Roiry, Yulia and Logan:

I'm free for lunch.
I just need a location.
-JK

It was after he put his cellphone back in his pocket that he noticed that they were nearing the coffeeshop. It was just one of the stops they had to pass on their route. He practically grimaced at the idea since he knew who worked there. If he was lucky then you-know-who wouldn't be on his shift. It was just so awkward to think of even glimpsing at Chris after what happened last night. It wasn't even necessarily the smoker's fault that he got caught in that he figured. But Justin still didn't think that Chris was fully undeserving. There was no way that he could deny knowing that Oliver was sleeping with his girlfriend. Even when he when he asked Chris for the truth on it, he just seemed to play dumb towards everything. Plus, he was Oliver's friend. Last time he checked, bestfriend. Something just clicked in his mind that if he hit him hard enough, maybe the dealer would feel it too...? He had no idea that they weren't as close as they use to be. It didn't matter. He his own pride was the main reason he didn't want to see Chris.

Deep down inside he figured everything would point back to him. It wasn't his fault, Justin was sure that it wasn't his...

"We've...been dating for a while now, haven't we?" he suddenly spoke up. "How many years now?" Justin glanced over at the Asian girl, and stopped so that they were directly in front of the coffee shop. "Since highschool...that was such a long time ago, wasn't it?" He was already twenty-three years old, turning twenty-four this year. It was hard to believe that they had dated for so long and that he would let someone like Oliver ruin it all. Valentine's day he'd surely have to do something special. Despite everything, she stuck with him. She tried to make it work. It was about time for him to start putting in more effort than he already had. "I love ya, Ri," he told her. "You know that, right?" Too bad Bandit wasn't really liking the whole stay-in-one-spot thing.

But no matter how I try || I can't hate you anymore
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt

[Faffleopoly]

Mana Eilam Wynden
The Bandgeek

Don't resent me, and when you're feeling...
empty Keep me in your memory.

He watched his boyfriend as he smiled a little after his brown hair fell over into that perfect face over his brown eyes. hmmmm no Hazel today. Mana loved those eyes. They would change and you never knew exactly what treat they'd give you next. The hair as always was silky and smooth and Mana fought the urge to reach out and grab it between his fingers and rub it just to feel them... He'd have plenty of time to play with Basil's hair later... or so he hoped, he didn't really know. He smiled happy that Basil's boss wasn't as mean as he could have been. Mana wished the guy wouldn't make Basil work so hard for even a little bit of approval, but what could he do? He was just the 'boyfriend' he could only sit back and support. After the subject changed to schedules he blushed and looked up at Basil. He said the sweetest things. Basil had no idea how much that little bit of reassurance meant to him. It made him feel like the world was right again. He wanted to just... Kiss him... but that would not be acceptable in public, plus it was a random urge... possibly to be acted on later. Mana had a lot of those. His own timidness worked against him that way and he found himself supressing a lot of urges and desires just to please those he didn't want to leave. He Always wanted Basil to stay, and didn't ever want to chase him away, so he held in urges... Maybe if he hadn't Basil not be thinking of leaving him, though Mana himself was completely oblivious to Basil's thought of dying sparks and possible leaving or experimentation and thought Basil loved him as much as he loved the brunette, and that their spark was as bright as ever, possibly getting brighter. Sure there was barely any time to be together, but they could be patient. At Lease HE could, and he would. At that moment Mana would wait for Basil forever because Basil actually wanted him. Or so he thought. Why shouldn't he think it? Basil never gave any evidence to the opposite, he never said anything, or did anything to hurt Mana's feelings, and he seemed just as afraid of making Mana go away as Mana was of making him leave... "Y-you really think so? I guess you're right. I guess I just let The Pigskin's comments about useless clatter to heart..." Looks away ruefully. "People keep telling me I need to take his words with a grain of salt..." No matter how hard he tried he could never truly ignore Bradley... Or help but think that the Joke was speaking for more than just himself.

Mana had no clue about the dominance issue. Mana preferred to be the bottom... but sometimes he could go either or, and he really loved Basil, or at least thought he did, so he did his best to do what he though Basil would want. Since he had taken Basil's virginity, or something close to it he had tried both top and bottom. Topping... wasn't really his thing... He was always afraid he'd mess up and make it unpleasant for the other... or something, but if it's what Basil wanted he would give it to the other. Basil didn't answer his question right away, and the butterflies had started in his stomach, but as he had noticed the waitress standing there he decided to blame the silence on that... Until Basil rushed to reassure him that he would love to spend the night. Mana colored. He was pleased and tried to hide the small smile that threatened to take over his lips. He was going to spend the night with Basil! They were talked to and such by the waitress. He had to admit that the blush was very cute on his Boyfriend. Mana was always more open about all aspects of gay life... Though having some stranger randomly interject and hear about them added to his usual shyness because that fell under the category 'did she see me as dirty?' Of course Mana's shyness came from years of abuse, when he was younger he was never like this. He could even at least TRY to stand up to the football Player, only that had gotten him years and years of beatings and insults. They had made a total mockery of him. He should be vengeful, not withdrawn... He had been once, thus the summer weight training deal. However things change, people couldn't really make his life hell and get away with it. There were law suits and such. Which reminded the slightly timid band player that if he didn't make it in music he should become a lawyer, it would cut down on all the fees. Another thing about Mana was he was more 'I'm my head' and un observant than he was shy. Though around Basil that changed a lot seeing as Basil was the center of his universe at that moment and he didn't want that to stop, ever. So he worried and fussed more about it... though most the fussing was internal. Mana Wished sometimes, that his backbone wasn't 'broken' so he could learn to stand up for himself again... possibly take charge... Though these days he just preferred to be left alone, with the one he loved, and screw the rest of the world. He was a very complicated guy. Thus the reason Mana found himself wondering which parts of him where him and which parts were him getting sick of all the beatings.

Mana ordered his ice tea. He always ordered the same thing every time, regardless of the time of year... though if he was cold he asked for warm tea, but the heater in the cafe worked just fine... It occurred to him that Mana was probably still cold when he ordered hot chocolate. It just made Mana feel even more guilty for not being there to give him a ride. Basil had said he had wanted to walk anyway, but still... Mana forced himself to let it go. No use crying over spilt milk. AKA get over it. the past was the past, yes? One had to move on, and remember the past cannot be changed, but the future is what you make it... hah! No matter how many times he told himself that he still didn't seem able to pull himself out of the mental/emotional rutt he was in. He was brought from his thoughts when asked what he would like to eat. He didn't know yet, and would have liked to try something other than what he had had last time, but he looked at Basil after shaking his head wondering if Basil was ready, if so, he would just order the same as before. As Basil ordered he couldn't help it as his thoughts slid back into what they had previously be reviewing. Perhaps he should try harder? Open up more...? Forget the past, the present, and just live life the way he wanted...? What did he really want? To feel safe and loved, Why? Was it that he was afraid and had to hid behind another? Or was it because he truly anted it. to protect and be protected... That is what he wanted. Not that he was much of a protector. Perhaps he should go back to the gym? He had been brought from his thoughts when the woman had looked at him. He blinked once then, without looking at the menu, and looking at her--this whole time he'd been looking at Basil. Or rather 'past' him seeing as he was in thought and he looked without seeing. "I'll have a BLT on Chibatta bread toasted with mayonnaise, please." She nodded and said she'd bring the drinks before leaving. So, he liked BLT's. They were good. It wasn't like this place was a usual haunt of his, though he had been here once or twice. The reason he didn't look at the menu was because he could remember what he had eaten here before, and he needed the quick decision, yes?

Once the woman was gone, Mana watched her go still thinking when Basil spoke and he looked at him giving him his full undivided attention. Mana finally let that small happy smile to go across his lips, a small devilish light in his eyes much reminiscent of a much younger Mana. The one who didn't hide that side of himself from view. The smile got bigger as Basil took his hands in the middle of the cafe. That made this feel so much more intimate, although this place was a public place. Mana returned the grip, instead of having floppy fish hands. Holding hands was a two sided thing believe it or not, and floppy hands were a sign of reluctance. There was no reluctance in Mana. Not with Basil. The slight pink tinge returned to Mana's cheeks as 'something new' was mentioned, but he didn't look away before nodding. He wanted to try something new too... there was a LOT to try... but he'd choose something by tonight. Yeah, so what if he looked up new positions and ways to pleasure a lover online and such. It wasn't as if he were the first type to look outside for answers, and he had already taught Basil everything he knew... which wasn't much. Baseil brought Mana's hand to his cheek and the Bandgeek thrummed with happiness inside. Even when Basil mentioned 'free rein' the happiness didn't falter. Basil wanted to be with him tonight, and wanted to be close to him! Nothing could be better. He knew what 'free rein' meant. It meant that Basil wanted bottom. Anything for Basil. Mana would do anything at this moment. He missed him so much that one night on top was not going to deter his affection. Mana cocked his head and got a flirtatious thoughtful look on his face as his mind ran over all the positions he had read on that he would feel comfortable performing on another... and ones that wouldn't freak Basil out too much. The list was shortened considerably, but there was still plenty to choose form. "I think I can find something new for us." Mana wasn't sure Basil knew that he hdd gotten the picture so he made sure to confirm what his assumption was. A-s-s-u-m-e makes an a** out of u and me. "'Free Rein' means you want bottom tonight?" He said it quietly enough to not be heard by others.. and his voice made it sound more intimate and sexual that he usually would. It had been a LONG time since their last night together. Mana would take almost anything at this point, and even make it look like he couldn't think of anything else he wanted more.

Then, in that perfect moment... his phone vibrated and he nearly jumped out of his skin his hands parting from Mana's to grab the vibrating to make it stop and looking down at the pocket it was in. Why hadn't he turned it off?As soon as it was no longer vibrating in the front pockets of his jeans so close to a certain... area, he breathed a sigh of relief and set it on the table and smiled ruefully blushing a little. "That nine years off my life." Yeah, an old expression practically long dead, but Mana still used it, he didn't like fallowing set 'codes'. He had merely set the phone on the table once it stopped vibrating, but his attention was son captured by the waitress as she walked up wit their drinks. "Thanks." He took a sip of his drink obviously not interested in his phone. He would answer the text later... Now was his time to spend with Basil, and nothing was going to interrupt that... unless Basil had a text he had to answer, than Mana would answer his own as the other did his, but for now, he was not going to do anything that would ruin this moment beyond his little freak out a couple moments before... Mana cocked his head at Basil. An inquiry was plain in his eyes. "You want to try the shower tonight?" They had never done it in the shower, at lease not yet... and there was so many ways to do it in the shower... the again... They could do it more than once, Mana was open. Sexual frustration was a pain, and Mana felt as if he could go all night... though he could probably only last half the night if he were on top... but still, he'd do his best, and that should count for something. Hey, a grain of salt was valuable in the desert right? Lately his sex life was drained of all water, thus... He had no idea where the hell this thought was going and shut it down. His mind needed so be open and free for Basil, with his long silky brown hair. those gorgeous brown eyes... and those full lips. God, hoe Mana wanted to lean across the table and kiss those lips silly and swollen, but this was a public place, and Basil would most likely feel uncomfortable. So he refrained from any such action... Maybe one day when Basil was more used to being gay...? Then he would kiss in public... possibly make out in a 'secluded' part of campus where people would shout at them to get a room like a lot of straight couples did.

Leave out all the rest

As surprising as it seems Hyori's walk with Justin was longer than they ever walked. Was it because they were actually communicating and talking to each other? or maybe it was because Hyori hadn't walked with Justin and Bandit in such a long time that it felt so good and she didn't want it to end. They did walk a pretty good distance and It was time to drop of Bandit home so Justin can hang with his friends and Hyori could see if she could make plans with some of her friends. To be completely honest Hyori was scared, scared that Justin was leaving her, or getting tired of her. She was worried that Justin was going to walk out on her at any moment and the thought scared her. She never had anyone walk out on her before but then she never thought that she would cheat on her boyfriend yet she did.

There was time Hyori wondered whether or not Justin would stay with her. Does Justin see them together for the rest of his life? Would he ever forgive her mistake? She truly was sorry besides she left the jerk for him so that should mean something right? These were worries and troubles that Hyori had on her mind constantly. It bugged the crap out of her and sometimes she worried that Justin is just with her for pity or for this perfect image that these two have conveyed since high school. Sometimes when Justin went out to hang with his friends Hyori wondered if they talked about her, or made fun about her, or just ridiculed her. What if Justin told his friends about what happened? But she knew he didn't and she knew she had to stop thinking like that. But she couldn't help but wonder and wish she knew what would go on. But she also knew that Justin needed his space and that they needed their brak so that they wouldn't get tired of one another.

Hyori's thoughts were interrupted when Justin asked if she still wanted to walk the dog. "Of course I want to walk him besides its been a while, but I have been hogging him from you maybe you should have a turn." she told him as a smirk appeared across her face. She handed the leash over to Justin. "Here, maybe you can handle him." She still had her hand in his and smiled now that things were sort of ok. She wondered if Justin would stay with her forever, then she saw Oliver's face in her mind. She shook it away, she wouldn't go back to him, she knew he was a player and that there was nothing going on there. At least with Justin she actually has a future. But then she couldn't help but wonder how Oliver was doing and how everything was for him. How would she act if Oliver came back to her life? What would happen if she ever saw him again?

Suddenly Hyori snapped back and she heard Justin say that she shouldn't have cancelled her plans for him. "It's ok hun, don't worry about it. we have lots of time during the day and you were right earlier we need some time with our friends too. It's not everyday that I get to see them. Besides I can't be greedy and have you all to myself, I have to learn to share you with your friends" she told him jokingly as she kissed him on the cheek. "It's ok I can handle a few hours away from you. I have my friends to worry about as well." That's when Hyori realized that she needed to text her friends to let her know she was available for lunch. So Hyori took out her phone and texted Kandence first

The Hyori started a new message and decided to send it to Clarissa

nd I decided we need

normally real busy. so I
thought we cud have
lunch? so let me knw
if ur free, willin n able

~Yori~

After putting her phone back Hyori noticed that Justin did the same and texted his friends. She was happy she made him happy and the fact the he kissed her made Hyori feel good. Tonight is going to be prefect, the way it should have been yesterday night but now not even that mattered to Hyori. All she cared about was being with Justin and spending the night together. After a few moments Hyori noticed that they stopped at the coffee shop while Justin looked at her as he said his little speech. We have been dating for a long time. thought Hyori. She was already twenty-one and Justin was turning twenty-four soon. They were both in college and they lived together and they have been together since high school. That's when she noticed Justin paused a bit and that's when it hit her maybe Justin was proposing to her. Hyori was nervous she didn't think he would ever think of her like that. at least not yet.

Hyori smiled and answered "yes we have been dating for such a long time, maybe we are meant for one another." That's when Justin said he loved her. At first Hyori was crushed and all her expectations just crumbled down to the earth she walked on. She felt so stupid for thinking Justin would propose to her. But then she also realized that Justin just admitted that he loved her. words she hasn't heard of since...Oliver. She smiled back and hugged him. "wow, I never thought i'd ever hear you say that again to me" she said as she tried not to look or sound stupid. " I missed those words so much, and it's been a while since you said them too me, im so surprised im speechless." she told him as she smiled and hugged him. "I love you too and I'm glad you've said those words to me I needed to hear them."

Hyori felt happy and surprised, so surprised that she kissed him on the lips for a while. Hyori was right it has been a while since Justin said those words to her. And it must have taken all of Justins courage to say those words again. Especially since she broke his trust in her. Those words were special and something not everyone said lightly, especially Justin. He really want them to mean something and not just be used like any other word. After a few minutes Hyori finished the kiss and looked straight in Justin eyes. "Well celebrate tonight what you just told me." she told him in her seductive tone. Then after a few seconds Hyori began walking towards the coffee shop. "Give me a second hun, I need to go to the bathroom for a quick second okay, so i wont be out for long. Wait for me here if you'd like or we could grab something to drink? I'm a little thirsty after our walk. Maybe some water might do."

After that Hyori headed into the coffee shop and walk trough the tables until she spotted Oliver sitting with Cristal. Hyori froze for a second she didn't know what to do. She hadn't seen Oliver in forever and yet there he was with Cristal probably getting ready to go out with her, just like he always did after he gave each girl their fix. Just like they used to do, when she used to do drugs. Hyori then continued walking since she didn't want to talk to Oliver or Cristal for that matter. Besides she left him a long time ago, she has Justin again for her and she didn't want to deal with Oliver all over again. So she continued walking towards the bathroom.

As soon as Hyori closed the bathroom door she leaned on it and ran her hands trough her face then trough her hair as she sighed. She couldn't believe Oliver was there in the same cafe as she was. Just a while ago she was contemplating what she would do if she ever saw Oliver again and then there he was. Now all Hyori had to do was walk out and ignore him, with him trying to speak with her, besides Justin was waiting for her outside. Justin she thought, his name hitting her like a pack of bricks. Justin can't see him or he would kill Oliver then there would be another fight and mess and memories of when Hyori and Oliver together and it would hurt him again. Maybe even make him hate her again and she didn't want that, she didn't want to deal with that all over again. So a few seconds after cleaning herself Hyori rushed out of the Bathroom looking for Justin in hopes of him not coming inside.
