Time Waits for No One: Closer Than Family(Closed for The_Gladiator)

[purplerouge]

She coughed when she heard his comment, hoping that she had managed to disguise it with a laugh as she gripped the steering wheel. "Yeah...that would be nice," she murmured, then turned a little red. "I meant to get laid...and I'm going to stop talking now," she added quickly, unusually flustered.

 

[The_gladiator]

he laughed, "What do you mean you meant to get laid?" he asked. "Did something mess up your plans?" he asked.

 

[purplerouge]

She shook her head, nervously blowing hair out of her face. "I meant that getting laid would be nice," she answered. "I had no plans to, but it does sound nice," she explained, wishing there was a way to get home faster so she could hole herself up in the bathroom.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Yeah it would." he said and sighed, "You have no idea how tempted I really was by April." he said shrugging, "When you've gone a while, even whore's like her start to look appealing." he laughed.

 

[purplerouge]

She laughed a little. "One of Kyle's friends, the one that very nearly backed me into a corner at the engagement party, tried to talk me into running off to find a closet with him before the wedding today," she told him, shaking her head a little. "I'f I'd had a few drinks then, who knows what would've happened," she said with a shrug, pulling into her parking lot and shutting off the car.

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughed, "Please tell me it wasn't the one with the missing front teeth was it? He's hidious, rumor has it he catches vd the way we catch colds." he said laughing.

 

[purplerouge]

She laughed, shaking her head as she grabbed her stuff out of the backseat. "God, no. It would take a hell of a lot more than me being drunk for me to even think about doing anything with that guy," she said with a mock shudder as she got out of the car. "It was the one that just got back from a trip in Brazil or something. Told me he wanted to show me some stuff that he learned while he was there," she told him with a laugh.

 

[The_gladiator]

What did he want to make you brazilian?" he said raising an eyebrow referring to the name sometimes given to shaven pussies. He shut and locked his door to the car and followed her towards her front door.

 

[purplerouge]

"That, and he claimed he knew how to do things that I doubt you can do unless your body was without bones," she said with a laugh, unlocking her door and flipping on the light. "Home sweet home," she murmured, dropping her keys in her usual spot as she kicked off her shoes.

 

[The_gladiator]

Mark followed her in and flopped on her couch his own shoes following as well, landing in the middle of her floor. "Thanks again for letting me stay here tonight." he said smiling over at her.

 

[purplerouge]

"No thanks neccessary. You've let me crash at your place plenty enough," she told him, remembering a few times after a few bad date's she'd had. "I'm gonna go get changed in the bathroom, if you wanna find that bottle you stashed," she suggested. "And I think I can dig up some sweatpants that you left behind here once," she added.

 

[The_gladiator]

"That'd be real nice." he said as he tugged off his tie and began to unbutton the collar of his shirt, and the first button exposing his neck and the very top of his chest and allowed him to breathe more easily. He got up and found the bottle and soon had it and some cokes ready to mix them some drinks, unless that is she wanted to do shots. He waited for her to return with the sweatpants as well eager to get out of the dress pants.

 

[purplerouge]

Roxy came back after a few minutes, still in her dress as she tossed him the sweat pants. "Do me a favor and unzip me? It keeps getting stuck and I can't get it," she said, lifting her hair as she turned around.

 

[The_gladiator]

His hands were gentle as he started to rub her back as he eased the zipper down caressing her skin as he went until it was zipped and then he took his hands away blushing realizing what he'd done. "I'll just put the sweats on." he said softly.

 

[purplerouge]

She held her dress against her chest to keep it from falling down, not able to help a soft sigh when she felt his hands on her back. "Ok," she mumured when he said he'd get changed, blushing when she realized just how good his hands had felt on her back. "Umm...thanks," she told him softly, then went into the bathroom to wash her face and finish getting changed.

 

[The_gladiator]

He nodded, "Of course, its ok." he said leaning forward to playfully kiss her shoulder before turning away to begin unduing his belt.

 

[purplerouge]

She let out a breath as she got changed, his kiss to her shoulder having started up the butterflies in her stomach again. It was something he'd done tons before, but once again was something that suddenly got her nerves up. She hung her dress up in her room after getting changed into sweatpants and a tank top, then made her way back out to the living room. "How about that drink?" she asked as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail, plopping down on the couch.

 

[The_gladiator]

Mark nodded having put on the sweatpants and undid the sleaves of the dress shirt folding them back, but leaving it on for he had no t-shirt, but that was ok. He Quickly pored her and he a drink and leaned back into the couch and raised his glass, "To special friends." he said with a smile.

 

[purplerouge]

Roxy smiled, nodding as she raised her glass. "To special friends," she agreed, taking a sip as she curled up on the couch. "Tonight was fun, regardless of any drama," she said as she took another sip, feeling the warm path as she swallowed the liquid.

 

[The_gladiator]

"With benifits?" he teased smirking at her until he heard her words, "Yes it was fun, you looked lovely, and Lena and Kyle seemed so happy." he said glad she so far hadn't noticed his coy words.

 

[purplerouge]

She rolled her eyes at his teasing, though she felt that slight twinge of nerves again. "You didn't look half bad yourself," she teased with a smile, hoping she could attribute her flushed cheeks to her drink. "Kyle still couldn't believe they'd actually gotten married," she told him as she continued to sip her drink, remembering the conversation from her dance with her brother-in-law.

 

[The_gladiator]

"He's a lucky guy, he's not only getting a great wife, but a great set of inlaws. Your family is great, even if your gran pinches my cheaks." he said with a smile, "And you... well were I Him I'd be wondering if you and Lena are into a Menage-a-Trois." he said pushing her shoulder a little smirking.

 

[purplerouge]

His comment had her gulping down her next sip of her drink in surprise and nervousness "Mmm...I'm thinking that was a roundabout way of a compliment...and the answer would be no, we're not into that," she said with a small laugh, nudging him with her shoulder. "I could ask Gran for you, though...I'm sure she has a friend or two," she teased with a grin.

 

[The_gladiator]

Jack coming out one's nose is not a pleasant thing, but he laughed so hard he choked on his jack sending it spraying into his hand as he kept it from going everywhere, "Th..." cough cough, "That's ok." he said laughing harder, "She's...not my type." he said with a laugh.

 

[purplerouge]

She looked at him with alarm when she heard him choke, jumping up to grab a paper towel when she realized what happened. "Jesus...are you ok?" she asked, though she couldn't help laughing as she handed him the paper towel. "Want a glass of water or something?"
