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

[The_gladiator]

"No I'm ok, just don't scare me like that again." he said with a smirk, not when I'm drinking." he said taking another healthy swig of his drink and smiling pulling her back down next to him, decidedly closer this time, but whether he noticed he really didn't seem to, but was that a blush?

 

[purplerouge]

She smiled when he pulled her down, picking up her glass before she settled back against the couch. "I'll remember that next time I want to scare you into agreeing with me on something," she teased as she took another sip, barely even realizing when she rested her head against his shoulder. After such a long day, sitting with him on the couch felt like just the right thing to be doing.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Tired?" he asked his handing coming up to stroke her cheak brushing back a stray strand of her hair, gently pushing it back behind her ear. He didn't pull away in fact it felt comefortable to him too, very nice, what he wanted.

 

[purplerouge]

She shook her head a little, trying to ignore the way his touch made her feel. "Just glad it's all over with," she murmured, smiling as realized just how normal things were feeling. "You have no idea how much I was looking forward to just relaxing today."

 

[The_gladiator]

"Glad I could help." he said smiling, "Even if I'm faited to be a pillo." he teased.

 

[purplerouge]

She laughed softly, smiling as she sipped at her drink. "If it helps, you make an excellent pillow," she teased back, nudging him a little.

 

[The_gladiator]

"At least I'm good at something." he teased, "Although I was also pretty good at pissing April off, did you see her face? It was priceless." he said with a smirk.

 

[purplerouge]

"Her face definitely was priceless," she agreed with a laugh. "I have a feeling you won't have to worry about her for awhile," she told him, curling her legs up on the couch. "I do feel bad, though, for anyone she actually suckered into leaving with her."

 

[The_gladiator]

"I don't, I have heard she's actually a good lay. Ok I feel bad for them tomorrow, but they're bound to enjoy it tonight at least." he said laughing.

 

[purplerouge]

"That is true," she agreed again, shaking her head a little as she imagined the hangover and regrets the guy would have. "Another reason why I'm happy you were there with me tonight. I sorta used you as an excuse with anyone that came onto me," she admitted, blushing a little.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Oh? You told people you were sleeping with me?" he asked looking curious, smiling down at her.

 

[purplerouge]

"Not exactly...but I did tell them that you wouldn't like it if I went off with any of them, since we already had plans tonight. If they came to that conclusion, then that's their fault," she told him, though she knew her face was flush with embarrassment.

 

[The_gladiator]

"And you think that fooled any of them?" he teased, "There's not a one of them who isn't going, he's getting seduced tonight. Especially if you wouldn't go for a quicky with them." he said chuckling as he finished his drink and poring another.

 

[purplerouge]

She rolled her eyes playfully, though she was still embarrassed enough to knock back the rest of her drink in one gulp. "Like I'd ever be able to seduce you," she murmured, though it was more to herself than him. "Pour me another," she asked as she held up her glass, deciding that the only way to calm herself was to keep drinking.

 

[The_gladiator]

"I'm not exactly that hard to seduce." he said, "See for refference inability to say no, or... overly horny all the time." he said blushing poring her another drink. This one a git stronger, just like his. "Here, this will put hair on your chest." he said teasing handing her the glass.

 

[purplerouge]

She blushed even harder when she realized that he'd heard her, coughing a little when she heard his response. She was grateful for her second drink, hissing a little when she felt her first sip's burning path. "Christ...I wouldn't doubt the hair thing," she said with a laugh, taking another sip. "And I guess what I should've said before is...that I doubt you'd want me to seduce you," she mumbled, not able to make eye contact.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Are you so sure about that?" he said coughing after taking a hit of his own drink, "Ok maybe that was a little too strong." he said smiling sheepishly.

 

[purplerouge]

The drinks were making her tongue looser and her courage bolder, and now she felt like there was no turning back. "What do you mean? We've always been friends, practically siblings...why would you want me, of all people, to seduce you?" she asked softly, taking another big gulp of her drink.

 

[The_gladiator]

"I didn't say I wanted you to persay, I meant that I wouldn't mind it, would like it if you did." he said, "I mean look at you, you're beautiful, and.. I've heard your stories, you sound willing to please and all that stuff that guys like me enjoy." he said softly blushing now.

 

[purplerouge]

She sipped her drink in silence for a few moments, resting her head back against the couch to look up at him. She couldn't help but blush, his words making her smile a little. "Since we seem to be saying what we feel...I let you in on a little secret, one that I somehow have managed to keep from you," she murmured, pausing to take another big sip. "God...how do I even say this? I've wanted you for a long time, Mark," she finally blurted out softly.

 

[The_gladiator]

"What have I always told you for years? Take what you want. If you want anything in the world its yours if you only have the courage to claim it." he said smiling, referring to the time he had convinced her she really could go to college, and she'd be good at it too. He smiled and blushed, "Of course no pressure." he said blushing.

 

[purplerouge]

She laughed softly, blushing a little as she sat up and put her glass down on the coffee table. "You know...this would be so much easier, if you weren't so okay with it," she teased nervously, then catiously pressed her lips to his.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Why would it be easier if I wasn't interested?" he asked raising an eye brow, "It is surely easier to seduce someone who is willing, than one not inclined?" he said. He returned her gentle timid kiss, his hand covering hers on his knee which he didn't even think she'd put there to brace herself so just her lips touched his nothing else.

 

[purplerouge]

"Because knowing you're interested makes me even more nervous," she murmured against his lips, her other hand coming up to rest against his cheek as she kissed him a little deeper this time.

 

[The_gladiator]

He moaned a little against her lips loving it as she deepened the kiss and touched him. "come here." he whispered pulling her against him, so he leaned back and could feel her pressed against him leaning his head up and down towards her to kiss her even more deeply his hand going to the back of her head pulling her mouth down to his.
