The Square Root of 2 [Charlie]

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] He got up from his seat, taking note of her increasingly attractive appearance, and popped it in the DVD player. While it would load, he'd head over to the kitchen, pop some corn (Get it? popcorn =D) in the microwave, and stopped at the soda.

"What soda do ya want?" He had everything, but he wasn't going to get her coke only to find out she wanted pepsi. That was like giving someone white wine and they like red. It just didn't work out right.

Whatever it was she'd want, he'd get it to her in an average sized cup (Which, to him, was kind of big, actually) and bring it over to her. He'd set it on the coffee table, and head back to get the popcorn, putting it all into a mixing bowl. You know, since it's big, and there was a lot of popcorn. He'd take it over and set it on the table near what would be the middle of the two, and take his seat next to her once again.

"I'm sorry if this seems kind of odd.. I've never actually had anyone in my home before, so.." So... That was how he ended his sentence. Self-conscious.[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

She smiled and then nodded, the movies she had heard of but never seen. She was not the biggest horror movie buff in the world but then with her job she didnt have time to watch movies all that often. It was usually always go, go, go.......

Then as he went into the kitchen she set about fixing her hair, because she was a girl and she wanted to pretty...duh.....Not like she would let him catch her doing it. Then as he called out about the soda her hands fell innocently to her lap as she shrugged.

"Coke is fine......"

She would then drum her fingers on her thighs as she waited, letting him get what he needed, watching him make the first trip with the drinks and then the second for popcorn.

To his final words she would just smile, her small hand picking up a bit of popcorn as she shook her head.

"Well you can just get used to it mister..."

She giggled softly and then popped the popcorn into her mouth, turning her attention back to the movie as it started.

Now......it was clear about a quarter of the way into the movie, whyyyy she had not seen it, and why she had never made the extreme effort to....Cause it was creepy, gross and down right scary......to her at least......

With every little disgusting scene that came up she found herself inching closer and closer to him on the couch, hands coming up to cover her eyes at some parts just because she assumed something bad was about to happen.

By the time they were half way through, she had her smaller form pressed against his and instead of her hands to shield her from the scaries she was instead using his chest, every now and then burying her face against it and letting out a little squeak of either surprise or fear...whatever the case might be......

Yet she could not help but peak back at the screen, just to see what was gonna happen.......Though yeah....it was not ever good and it was always some image that got burned into her little mind and made her sure tonight would be nightmare night.....

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/i] The whole time through the movie, he wasn't exactly focused on it. Of course, he'd seen it hundreds of times over because of Takehiro's antics, but that wasn't exactly the point. See, a really beautiful girl was constantly edging closer and closer to him throughout the film. He didn't mind that. Then she was right next to him, as in no space between them whatsoever, and using his chest as her eye shield. He didn't mind that either. He was quite tempted to put his arm around her throughout the movie, but he decided against it. He didn't want to make a bad move.

Of course, the movie would come to an end, with Charlie repeating many actions, but hell, she looked good while she did it. That sounds weird, huh? Yeah, I know. But what can you do about it? They're his thoughts. Don't judge.

"That was.. expected." Pretty much all he'd say when the end came around. Of course, he'd seen it over and over again, therefore, he'd expected it! Took out all the scary for him. "What'd you think of it?" Of course, for her, it was quite obviously scary. She did make it obvious, right?[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

As the movie came to an end, she would have spent most of the end constantly pressed against him with her hand resting flat on his chest during the parts where she was actually able to watch it.

She had to admit a little part of her was disappointed that he had not put his arm around her but then, perhaps she was not his type? She honestly didnt know.......which sorta bugged her at the back of her mind, but yeah....

As he spoke she would shrug softly and bite her lip, her hand tucking her hair back behind her ear as she shook her head.

"It was not expected for me....and yes...very scary..."

She would finally pry herself away from him, though she kept just a few inches between them, her head lowered just slightly as she twisted her fingers about in her lap.

Now she was unsure...Yes...Charlie Cross was unsure.....Constantly nibbling her lower lip she would try to think of something and in doing so take another long drink of her soda. Finally she would let out a little sigh and speak up once more.

"Umm....so...d..do you want me to go? Or???"

She was leaving it open to him. She was sorta at a loss at the moment and so out came the nervous girl inside. It was not like she could help it.....She honestly had not meant to be that close to him, just....it felt natural during all the scaries......but then yeah...perhaps she had pushed things too far? Gah she was known for doing that, that was for sure.

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] He realized telling her would be quite awkward. Of course, things were already kind of awkward, so he'd just go out and say it. "I was scared I'd make a wrong move and.. you would leave."[/color] Attached from the get-go. That's how he was, how he always would be. Maybe it's because she got so close to him in so little time, and no one's ever actually been close to him since Autumn. But that was three years ago.

"I will go to the highest mountain and scream your name out to the Heavens." That was Echigo talk for "I don't know what I'd do if you left." Of course, she obviously didn't know that, but maybe she'd get it. Though, maybe she'd take it wrong and storm out because he seemed like an asshole.

He'd take a chance and act on his feelings this time, though the motion would not be grand. He'd place his hand over hers.

The boy was damn sentimental.[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

He.....made her blush.....Yes, this boy made her...Charlie Cross, the model and all around tough girl, or at least image of a tough girl, blush.....Biting her lip as a slow smile crept onto her lips at his words.

Shaking her head, she would speak up softly, eyes now focused on the hand that had come to rest atop her own, feeling the warmth of his touch covering her small hand and making her hand turn over so that her fingers could slowly work their way to lace through his own.

It was a small gesture, as she finally turned her head to look at him, not bothering to fix the hair that fell into her face as she shifted slightly on the couch and inched across the small amount of distance between them.

Then, just as quickly as she could manage, before she lost the nerve and changed her mind, she leaned up, her knee pushing into the couch, and brushed her lips against his own.

It was brief, and she quickly withdrew, not wanting to screw something up, yet again, by being too forward, though she always seemed to do such, no matter how much she actually tried not to.

Biting her lip she turned her head, though her fingers would remain laced with his own so long as he allowed it.......

"I don't think I would have gone anywhere.....I like you.....a lot...."

The words he had spoken pretty much told her that he felt the same, she hoped. Or was she misreading? Gah she was such a bad judge of people.....Thanks to all that time spent in a fucking drugged out haze during her time in New York. All compliments of her asshole agent.......

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] Was he being forward? Who knew. Was he inviting her to move in? I don't know. I never understood Echigo talk. Funny, huh? His eyes would seem as if pleading, now; a look never before seen in his eyes. Why is it he felt it now? Maybe it's because he was finally close to someone. Ask him yourself one day, maybe he'll tell you.

"You know, I.. I like you too."

Ah, the moment of truth.[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

To his words she would again feel that heat rushing into her cheeks, her hair falling down around her to shield her face as she bit her lower lip for a moment.

She then would tug his hand that she currently held, moving it so that his arm rested around her shoulder, allowing her to curl up against him, her hand releasing his to rest against his chest.

"So now what do you wanna do?"

She felt no need to say she would stay, that was all too clear by her actions. Instead she would simply try and make things a bit more comfortable for the both of them.

As her legs curled up onto the couch beside her, she let her weight press against his as she sat there, waiting to see if he wanted to watch another movie, or whatever. She was content to stay here for as long as he wished it...No hurry to head back home to the empty penthouse and sit alone, doing nothing....It sucked and always seemed so empty.

She felt so strange, actually liking a guy as something more than some piece of eye candy....she had never really....yeah...it was just new to her and she had to admit she sorta liked it......

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] He spoke softly, using his right hand to move some hair from her face and behind her ear. He really couldn't believe this is happening.

This feels like a dream.
[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

She felt that slight tug to pull her closer and she could not help but smile to it. It was a nice feeling, and then it was only added to by the way his hand brushed her hair back behind her ear.

Hmm...leaving it up to her again huh? It made her giggle softly as she would finally shrug, slowly shifting on the couch and crawling her way into his lap. Gods knew he was big enough that the extra bit of weight was not going to be an inconvenience, or at least she hoped not.

"Hm.....Well first...."

She let her small hand slide about his neck, her head tilting slightly as she pressed her lips to his once more, the softest brush of her tongue along his lower lip as she held the kiss a bit longer this time....Letting the heat of their lips linger together for a moment as she closed her eyes.

Slowly her small hand would trace down his neck, her thumb softly caressing the line of his jaw. Finally however, she would pull away.

A little soft, coy smile on her lips as she felt the tingle of his own still. Yet she would then slowly start to crawl from his lap, figuring if nothing else she could go through his movies to try and find something.

"Secondly.......Either we watch another movie, oooor find something more fun to do.......Up to you."

Sliding off from him, she would move to where he kept his movies, bending over slightly in order to look through them, taking her time and trying to see if there was any one thing that really stood out, all the while listening up for any other suggestions he might have had.

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] As she would get up, his hands would fall calmly to his lap, and make their way to the back of his head. He felt.. good, really. And he didn't feel bad when he checked her out, so there was another plus.

"We could. But, define fun." Again. Maybe he'd suggest some grand adventure? Mayhaps twas a possibility.[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

She continued to look for movies, her hips swaying back and forth as she shrugged softly and then ran her tongue over her lips.

"Umm....well movies, going some place, doing something, making out, playing games....stuff like that"

Yes, she had thrown that one little tid bit in there, just for the sake seeing how he would react, that teasing little grin curled on her lips as she waited, just wanting to see what he would say.

Oh yes she was a sneaky little devil. But then that was part of her charm she supposed. She honestly didnt know. She was just going with what she knew, a little sigh passing her lips as her finger slowly began to trace over the movie titles...a little bite of her lip given before she would turn around and face him, those eyes sparkling with happiness in the moment.

She enjoyed being with him....and if he had not figured that out yet then she was just gonna have to try harder.

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] Ahh, the adjectives for nicknames, being used already. It sort of just, felt right. So, why not? It's not as if it were a bad thing.

Whether or not she'd approach, he'd look into her eyes with such a gentle smile. "I just wanted you to know that I've enjoyed every second of being with you." Granted, it was two and a half to three hours at most. Still, that's a lot of seconds! Not a single one of 'em was bad. "And.. I feel great with you around."[/color] Why not throw that last bit in there? If it was true, say it. He learned to avoid not acting on his emotions already.

Needless to repeat, he's really sentimental.
[/color][/ul]

[Charlie Cross]

She would smile at his words and then slowly saunter across the room and crawl back up into his lap, letting her slender arms wrap around his neck as she leaned back just slightly and smiled.

"Mmmm...I want you to know that I feel the same."

She nodded, her small hand slowly sliding along his neck, slowly tracing down his neck, delicate fingers slowly caressing his flesh and then going over his jawline.

That smile never fading from her lips as she settled upon his lap, leaning in finally and pressing her lips against his once more, this time with a bit more passion behind it, her tongue brushing over his lips and then slipping forth, seeking out his own with a little soft sound of pleasure following it.

Her eyes closed, she pressed her slender body to his, content with the situation right now, more so than she should have been probably, but she didnt care.

This time she did not break away from him, wanting to hold onto that kiss, letting her tongue slide across his own and then shifting in his lap, her hips sliding across him slowly and one hand drifting downward over his chest.

Would he push her off? Possibly..but until then she was gonna keep it up.

[Mekiel Echigo]

[/b][/color] He would ask with a look of what almost seemed to be regret in his eyes. What if, in asking that, he did ruin everything?

"Look me in the eyes, and tell me that you're ready for this." Did that mean the relationship in general, or just what was about to happen, or both?

You idiot.[/color][/ul]
