Thread: LOL: RMBH (Raivh and Lingering Desire)

RE LOL RMBH Raivh and Talin With those two, Ill never see it. Theyll come out of their cave for nourishment and go right back at it. She shook her head and looked down at her feet as they walked. Oakley felt his arm, or shoulder, brush against her every once in a while and tried shoving it out of her head. Opening her mouth to comment about how cold it was getting, filling the silence with predictable weather talk. Looking up at him she smiled softly while her light blue eyes flitted over his face, That sounds like a plausible plan to me. Shivering slightly she moved to the car behind him and moved to his side. Tilting her head, brows furrowed in confusion. Attention captured by the falling flakes, her voice quiet, Ive never been tossed from a car and I certainly hope you wont be the first. Sliding into the cold vehicle she shivered a bit more, as he moved around to his own side she closed the door. The cold blast caused her to laugh again, it wasnt expected nor was his shout of surprise, which made it funnier. Its ok, she sobered quickly and went to work on her seatbelt. Now, she knew the touches were on purpose, but why? Casting him a sideways glance as he concentrated on exiting the parking lot, what were his intentions? Quickly she turned her head to the window as he checked for traffic, to avoid looking him directly in the eye. His constant looks caused her a bit of aggravation, she wasnt sure why. It was a minor source, but the care she saw in them made her uneasy. Not to mention she sensed something else, not desire or lust, just something else. His laugh informed her that shed been caught. She turned back to face him with a small sigh. The conversation was idle, just bits and pieces of meaningless fluff, nothing really, just something with which to pass the time. It seemed as though she blinked and they were pulling into his driveway. Her eyes flitted down the street over the hood of his car, through him. The night theyd met theyd come from that direction, she remembered it, as well as him. A slight frown caressed her lips as she stood staring, as if trying to see something that didnt exist. Blinking she looked at him, as though focusing on him for the first time. A blush tinted her cheeks, Yeah, but then at least Ill be able to build a snowman. Oakley loved winter, preferred it to all the other seasons. Shaking her head at him and the almost bored grin that was plastered to his lips, she couldnt help the smile on her own. Shrugging she followed him hesitantly, remembering clearly the tension her mere presence brought last time she was here. She tugged free of her coat and followed Arics lead, sitting on the same couch, but the other end. She stared at her hands, shoes, the walls, anything, but the two males and their quizzical looks in her direction. Nodding her head she met his gaze, Sounds good, need help? Oakley pushed off the couch and scampered after him, she wasnt that handy, but they gave her the creeps. She perched on the counter and watched him work. The slab of ground beef no match. Hoping that by sticking with him the other two would leave her be, she knew there was no chance as the sound of wood on stone hit her ears, lifting her gaze to the man, Aric, called Terrance. Her eyes were flat, though inside she was amused. Ye.. Her flippant remark silenced as Aric spoke up. Oakley stifled a laugh when Aric informed him that no dinner was coming their way. True, she said agreeing with him. Certain they wouldnt eat it all but still she noted the disrespect of the others toward Aric and didnt blame him. Stockholm , she snorted. Blue eyes went wide as what shed just done had registered in her head. Ignring his gaze and his subsequent laugh, she hoped down from the counter and put the chair back at the table where it belonged. Moving back to the kitchen she leaned against the jamb her back flat against on and her feet touching the other as she crossed her arms. I was going to tell him we were plotting together for your next victim You didnt have to speak for me. I dont mind them as long as you are close by. She dropped her gaze to the toe of her black sneaker. He made her feel stronger, but only because they were his roommates, she didnt want to give him the impression that she was relying on him. Clearing her throat she moved to the cabinets and found everything she would need to set the table. She turned once and her shoulder grazed his back. The slight touch causing her to jump away from him, recovering she mumbled sorry and moved to the table. What the hell is wrong with you Oak? she silently asked herself. Absently she ran her hand up her arm to the offending shoulder and rubbed. It wasnt like her to get squirrely at an innocent touch. Her gaze settled on Aric a moment, before turning back to the task shed claimed as her own. He was the cause, each slight touch and every glance sent her mind into overdrive. Yet, here she was, shed agreed to come here with him. He made her uneasy and calm, free and grounded. It was perplexing the hell out of her. She wanted to know more about him, yet she didnt. The odd mix of confusion scared her and left her heart pounding. She knew she wasnt ready for a new guy in her life, perhaps he knew that and had decided, without her knowledge, to give her time. If this were the case, he was a rarity, no guy shed ever known had ever allowed her to become their friend first. Having always jumped from one relationship to the next, the need at having that other person in her life was strong. She could play independent and make everyone think she was strong, but the reality was, she wasnt. Her task of setting the table done she headed back into the small kitchen and her forsaken spot on the counter. She passed it and got all the things hed mentioned before and took them quietly to the table, her mind still reeling. Turning and churning her thoughts around until perhaps, like cream, they would come together and form a solution. Table is ready when the meat and shells are. She stated crossing her long legs at the ankle, maintaining her spot on the counter with her backside. Whats you major and what year are you? she asked timidly. Though the real question remained unspoken, why the hell do you keep smiling at me like that and why do I want you to keep it up? Her legs swung slightly as she sat and watched him.
