Thread: Romancing Roxanne (XxMoonlightRomancexX  and ...)

As Roxy entered her room and began to close the door she could hear Rand's footsteps against the carpet as he ran down the hall, although she had to strain her ears to. By the time he made it to her door there was just enough room to place his right hand on the door and use a gentle yet firm push to stop her from closing it. As he slipped in and closed the door behind him she stepped away from the door, giving him room to get in. Once he was in, Roxanne looked over at him as if she didn't know him, but there was also a look of relief feeling relieved because Rand's confession meant that she no longer had to hid part of herself, the part that felt the same way for him, from the one person that understood her the best. Despite the wave of relief that washed over her, though, when he reached his hand up to her face and gently wiped her tears away as she continued to cry Roxanne pulled back and looked up into his eyes as he did. Hurt was now mixed with the relief as she remembered the way he had first reacted as he demanded that the young man leave. Rand, don't. Either you love me enough to fight for me, despite what we both know society will think of a relationship between us, or you don't. While I love you, Rand, in the same sick way you love me, if you don't plan to fight for me I can't promise that I'll wait for you forever. She said, finding the words hurting her as she said them and causing her to cry more. Roxanne was ready to say more but when Rand began to apologize for his actions she was silenced. As she watched him, Roxy listened to her older brother explain how it was supposed to be a secret he was to take to his grave until he saw her with Vincent and his self control lapsed upon seeing the things the boy had been doing to her. When he looked down and a few of his tears dripped onto the Lavender colored shag carpet in her room, Roxanne stepped close to him and reached her hand up to rest on his cheek, hopeful that he wouldn't shy away from her touch as she had done to him. Shh... Don't cry. For one, I'm not worth crying over and I hate seeing you cry. She said with a week smile, knowing he would immediately disagree with the comment. Now, let me guess what seeing what Vince was doing to me did to you. It tore at your insides and filled you with this need to protect me from him and an even stronger need to fight for my love to prove yourself worthy. It also hurt you, that I would choose someone that doesn't know me half as well as you do. Roxy said, only guessing but those were the feelings that filled her when she even thought about Rand with a girl that wasn't her, when she allowed herself to think of him. When he looked back up into her eyes several moments later she found it hard to fight her feelings for him, the feelings that had been present just as long as his feelings for her. Rand, babe, if you are a pervert then I'm one too and I don't care how much you love or desire me as more than your sister nor do I care about the fact that if anyone else found out that they would write you off as a freak because I feel the exact same way about you. She said before leaning in and kissing him on the cheek. She then moved her lips to his ear. Let me make one thing clear to you, my wolf. She said, calling him the nick name she had given him years ago. You will never lose the love I have for you as your sister nor will you ever lose this incestuous love I have for you and as lucky as you are I am even luckier to have a man that loves me for who I am. She said into his ear before pulling back. Roxanne watched as Rand looked over to her bed, focusing on the small brown stuffed bear she still had that he had given to her when she was a little girl. As she listened to his words and reasoning she shook her head. No, babe. It's not just that. Roxanne said as she leaned in and rested her hand on his cheek, wanting him to enjoy her touch. Sure, part of it is you wanted to impress me and show me you were worthy of me but you wanted to make me jealous, didn't you? She asked as she began to stroke his cheek. Hell, I even think part of you wanted me to chase off any girlfriend you had, just like you were so willing to beat the shit out of Vince, if that's what it took to get him gone. Isn't that right? She asked in a soothing yet teasing tone as her hand continued to stroke his cheek. Between her tone of voice and her soft, comforting touch she was hoping to coax the answer out of him. At his mention of Suze, one of the girls Rand had dated and how she had told Roxanne how amazing her brother was in bed, Roxy involuntarily shivered with pleasure. As he went on to explain why he picked people like Suze and the things he had done to please them Roxanne blushed as she felt flattered. Roxanne then watched as he turned away. Rand, if I wasn't clear before I do love you as you love me. She said. When he turned back to her Roxanne watched him and as she listened to his words, she couldn't help but to feel hurt. And what if you could do nothing that could convince me to have you? She asked. Of course, there was no truth behind it. He knew her so well that he would know exactly how to win her affections. When he then went on to talk about how he had fooled their parents and even her for years she shook her head at him. Maybe you had Mom and Dad fooled but while I'm younger than you I'm definitely not stupid. I could see the act you were putting on for everyone else and I also saw the way you looked at me when you thought nobody, including me, was looking. She said, not bothering to say what else was on her mind. Perhaps if you couldn't see that I had already figured it out we really aren't that close. Then, when he stepped closer, making the little space that was between them almost nonexistent when he didn't stop until he was face to face with her. Roxy glanced down as he took her hand before looking back up into his eyes. While he held it gently as he spoke she could feel his touch dulling her pain. Roxanne didn't have time to respond to his words before he flashed her a quavering smile and tried to dismiss everything he had just said. He was about ready to walk out of her door when she managed to wrap her arm around his in a tight grip. If you walk out that damn door, I'm gone. I'll pack my fucking shit and move back to Mom and Dad's. She said as she watched him as tears filled her eyes once again. Roxanne was hoping her threat of leaving, no matter how empty it was, was enough to keep him there instead of running from her.
