[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin pulled her hand, pulling Delilah back towards him and he hugged her.

"Why?" he asked gently, kissing the top of her head, "I thought you didn't need that stuff anymore."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah pressed her face against Gavin's chest so he wouldn't see that she was crying.

"I basically went into panic mode and didn't know what else to do," she said weakly. "First time that's happened in about a year."

She sniffled and added, "I don't go drinking every time something bad happens, obviously, but every once in a while, I freak out over something and... well..."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin nodded, holding her chin in his hands and gently wiping her eyes with his thumbs

"Hey, hey. It's ok. I just don't want you...I don't want you ending up like Nicolao. I love you, I don't want you to run into his arms."

He kissed each tear away and smiled, "you're the only girl for me"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah gasped, surprised that Gavin hadn't gotten angry with her. She clung to him, trembling, unable to speak.

He... he didn't hit me. When Nick found out, he hit me hard enough to split my lip open... but Gavin...

"I..." she started. She could not finish. She simply buried her face in Gavin's chest, sobbing.

[stylequeen_SC]

"What's wrong?" Gavin asked, hugging Delilah even tighter as she cried

"I'm not angry at you," he whispered, "I'm just concerned. I'm sorry darling."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah finally said, "Let's just say you handled it better than some people have. Much better. It's not your fault."

She squeezed his hands and kissed his cheek. "Come on.. let's go back to your office, eh?" she said softly.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin nodded and took her hand

"Looks like we need to make up again! Same as last time?" he teased

[DarkPhoenix]

"Sure," Delilah said.

She smiled weakly, knowing that she looked terrible from all that crying.

She grabbed Gavin's hand and followed him out of the bathroom.

I never thought I'd have another panic mode moment, she thought. I thought I was finished with that, but I guess it was just dormant or something.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin laughed and lead Delilah to his office. He pushed everything off his desk and sat her down on it

"Now Miss Stanton. Do you promise to love Mr Ruppetts for the rest of forever?" he teased, putting his arms around her neck as he stood in front of her

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah laughed and stroked Gavin's hair. "And if I don't?" she asked teasingly. "What then? Will you have me thrown into the Bog of Eternal Stench?"

She smiled and said, "Teasing, sweetheart. Of course I do. You know that."

She kissed his hands softly, looking up at him.

[stylequeen_SC]

"I love you," Gavin said.

[[ cue gushy music and they screw each other again :P :lovestruc they are totally just like rabbits!! ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

((Screw? Lovely way of putting it.))

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ meh! I'm tired and feeling silly lol. you may skip ahead as liked :D ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

((Ha ha. As you wish.))

Delilah dressed silently, smiling a little. She yawned and stretched. "I need a nap," she said. "This has been a crazy day."

She smiled at Gavin and said, "Do you know anyplace I can take a nap and no one will bother me? Well, you know... except you. I don't mind if you come by."

She hugged Gavin and sighed softly.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin smiled and slowly buttoned his shirt up again, stretching out his back to make sure all the stitches were in place

"You're welcome to nap in here," he replied, searching around for his tie before he found it in Delilah's shoe, "or you could try the store cupboard Cecilia and I got locked in!" he joked

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled and curled up on Gavin's chair. "Perfect," she said happily.

She stretched a little and yawned. "Love you," she said sleepily, smiling at him.

She curled up and closed her eyes, smiling peacefully.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin kissed her forehead as she curled into a ball

"Sleep well babe," he whispered, "love you too."

[[ ok well I'm off now :howdy: bye :P ]]

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, let go of the brake as the elevator ran its course up to the third floor, when he stepped out, he stenched of booze, and stale air from the elevator. If he smoked he could have went through a pack and a half in there, but he refused, he was already low enough on the totem pole.

As he went into his office, he sat in the chair, seeing that indeed he again was alone. His mind was his worst enemy, as he decided to work the misery off. The fabrics laid willy nilly in the corner, pulling out a shimmery white chiffon, and began to cut aimlessly. He tossed the bolt of fabric back into the corner, and looked over how the fabric laid. He was in his own world, a world that was pretty, and full of happy thoughts unlike reality, the smashing reality of life.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah slumbered in the office chair, smiling softly in her sleep. She had a peaceful slumber, the first in a long time.

She awoke and stretched. "What a nice dream," she said softly.

She sighed to herself. "Still, it's a shame that things are so bad for Nicolao," she murmured to herself. "I wish there was something I could do."

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, opened his email so see if the model left him a message, and on a whim send Delila, an email. I am sorry if I caused waves between you and your significant other. That wasn't my intention, I just wish things were different. Good luck, Rocker Girl. Thanks again for the chocolate. Nicolao

He didn't eat the chocolate, because he just wasn't hungry, but it was a nice gesture, all the same. Wrapping the small square of chocolate into a piece of paper towel, he put it in his desk for later. "I wish that model was here. I need to keep occupied, keep busy." Without another ounce of whiskey, he was up a creek without a paddle, so he just sent another email to pass the time. Now, that I am free, how do you plan to catch something that you will never find. I will never go home again. You have killed everything I held dear, first my family, then my lover. If you find me then you can finish, but I am master of disguise. Remember, I am one up on you, there is only so many places you can hide. Sleep tight, Pedro. Remember I am always watching.

The whole email was a rouse he didn't know where Pedro was, but he would have him so that he was worried, then hopefully he would mess up, and he would find him on a fluke. Maybe Delilah was right, he needed to stop drinking, he needed to stay focused.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah read the e-mail that Nicolao sent. She smiled a little and typed out a response:

You didn't cause any major problems, although I will say, Gavin reacted rather well to finding out that I have a small drinking problem (see, you're not the only one). If you need someone to talk to, just let me know. I don't like it when people are unhappy. I'm glad you liked the chocolate.

Delilah

She sent the message and sighed to herself. He needs a friend, she thought. He's all alone in there... and even the toughest-seeming people need someone to talk to once in a while. At least I'm not treating him badly. Nothing wrong with being friendly.

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa walked tentatively into Queen's Clothes. She was careful this time not to go too close to any closed doors, just in case there were any people behind them coming out. She clutched a piece of paper which had the office number she was to go to written on it.

She peered at each door, mumbling to herself. "Nope.....nope...no....Ah ha!" She had found the door leading to the office of the designer she was going to meet. She knocked on the wood softly and waited (a few feet away) for a reply.

[butterflykiss]

As he read over Delilah's email, and as he went to respond there was a knock at the door. As he turned off the monitor, he walked over to the door, and opened it widely. A petite woman stood there, and he just stared a little bit too long, "May I help you?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah was concerned.

Maybe I should go check on him. Make sure has hasn't done anything stupid. I did some pretty stupid stuff while drunk already, she thought.

She hesitated. But if I do something, Gavin will think I'm interested in Nicolao. But if he's injured or something... oh God, what do I do?

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa was so busy studying the design in the carpet that she didn't even notice when the door she had knocked on opened.

"May I help you?" Her body snapped into her best posture and she looked up to see a man standing in the doorway. She was quick to extend a hand.

"Hello, I'm Jeisa." She hoped that she didn't look as unsure as she felt. "I'm, umm, a model."

[butterflykiss]

Stop thinking about it, forget it, she is with some insecure man, that thinks he is a boss. If she wanted you, she would be here. If only Ozzy knew what to do. With the remote in his pocket, he turned on Mama I'm Comin Home, then flipped it rather quickly, as he thought of his mother. Then he turned it to something a wee bit more black, Lake of Fire Nirvana. Hopefully, all the a-holes, would find there own lake of fire.

Then like he had forgotten, he was standing in the doorway, a brunette all smiles and eyes brimming a sparkling excitement. "Aha, Jesia,, I was expecting you, please do come in." He hoped that his frayed demeanor didn't make her wonder of his position. "Bad hair day for me," he chimed hoping that that would indeed be enough, to keep from any random questions.

As he moved the comfortable red leather chair, he took his own, and opened the drawer. The charcoal inbetween his index, and forefinger, as he stuck it behind the crook of his ear, "Do you have your portfolio with you?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah made her decision. "I'll just drop in real quick and make sure he hasn't hurt himself or anything like that," she decided. She didn't know where Gavin was, but she was sure she'd be back before he realized she was gone.

She walked to the elevator and took it to the floor where Nicolao was working. She walked down the hall and found his office. She could hear music playing inside the office.

Delilah knocked at the door, unsure of whether or not she should let herself in.

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa was led into the designer's office and sat down on a comfy leather chair. She sat as straight as she could. The man sat down casually and took out stick of charcoal.

"Do you have your portfolio?" he asked, eyes never leaving his sketch.

"Oh, yes. Of course." Jeisa handed him the black book that she had been holding. She looked around his office, which smelled slightly of alcohol, as she waited for him to look through it. The there was a knock on the door. She craned her neck to see who it was.

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, could tell from the clear paned glass whom was at the door, he sat there in his leather chair dumbfounded. "I appologize Jeisa, let me get that. I will be right back. Here are some designs that I have been working on, guard them with your life." He handed her the portfolio of designs that were locked in the drawer, and walked over to the door.

The door felt as if it were made of lead, his arm as he couldn't open it, but he budged it nevertheless. For what seemed countless hours he stood there, his hair falling over his eye. Through the strands he looked up at her, glad she was there, but perplexed. "Rocker Girl decide to join my cult, and take free reign over the whole joint? I could use a mad conspirator."

He had to talk, because all he could see where her lips, and he knew they had touched Gavin's, bah, lucky b*stard, he thought to himself.

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: I'm here for about an hour, feel free to do something with Amber, she's bored :P

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah stared at Nicolao. There he was, intact and unharmed.

I'm probably taking up his time, she thought. She smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

So, she blurted out the first thing that popped into her head which was, unfortunately, lyrics from a song: "Yesterday has been and gone; tomorrow will I find the sun, or will it rain?"

Ack, smart move! she berated herself. And of all songs to quote from!

[Spoonerism_SC]

Nicolao excused himself, handed Jeisa some designs to look over and went to answer his door. She couldn't help but hear the strange conversation which ensued, even though she really was trying not to eavesdrop.

At first they were quiet, then Nicolao said, "Rocker Girl decide to join my cult, and take free reign over the whole joint? I could use a mad conspirator."

There was another akward silence, this time shorter. Then the girl who was at the door replied, "Yesterday has been and gone; tomorrow will I find the sun, or will it rain?"

Wait, wasn't that Ozzy Osbourne? Now Jeisa was just plain confused. She tried to block out the two voices as she looked over the designs, which she thought honestly exsquisite. Well, some of them were. There was a definite difference between some of the sketches, as if they had been drawn by seperate people who didn't think the same way.

[butterflykiss]

His dark eyes wide, as if there was a weird understanding, the lyrics, he knew them, he felt them. Instead of standing there, he too quipped in ending the chord, "Everybody's having fun, except me I'm the lonely one." As he cleared his throat, he choked, "I guess that we'll meet, we'll meet in the end."

As they stood there awkwardly, he tried to figure out the riddle, but he never was good at riddles. "We always got Ozzy, right, Rocker Girl." Without a doubt, he wasn't going to get in the middle of two people so in love, even though he wanted to push her against the wall and make her forget about oh, Mr, whateverthef*ck his name was. Later, him and Jack would reminisis over woulda, coulda, and shoulda.

[DarkPhoenix]

"Um... I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I was worried," Delilah finally said. "It... uh... it looks like you're doing fine. I... I see you have someone in there waiting, so I won't take up anymore of your time."

She squeezed Nicolao's hand briefly, giving him a quick smile. "Take care of yourself," she said softly.

That said, she turned and hurried away to the elevator, mentally berating herself the whole way.

Couldn't even say anything smart, could you? And you had to quote that song, didn't you? Great job you're doing of staying out of trouble! she thought.

She rushed into the elevator and jabbed at the button, trying to leave as quickly as possible.

((I have to go to bed-- gotta get up early for work-- but feel free to GM my character. Everyone knows what she would and wouldn't do, so... choose appropriately. For instance, dancing on the desk would happen. Dancing on a bar topless wouldn't. You get the idea.))

[butterflykiss]

{{Nighties!! And roflmao about Delilah.}}

Nicolao, watched her leave, still his head in a fog, over the whole incident, well hell, all there incidents, were well rather weird. He knew he was weird, and that was the last thing to weigh on his weary head. Don't watch her as*, don't watch her a...oh too late, damn it.

Pulling himself back together, he closed the door, for that moment he wished he had more whiskey. Shaking his head as he sat back down into the chair. In another land, until the ruffling of papers jolted him back into reality, "Jeisa, I apologize about the delay, umm, right portfolio." He took the time as he looked over her portfolio to cool off, "How long have you been in the business? You have this innocent girl next door look. Do you think you have what it takes to be bold and fierce for the camera?"

Holding the pencil tip in his mouth, as he looked over the rest of the photos, halfheartedly, because dam* it, Delilah, just came to his office, and well hell, they shared another damn awkward moment. Priceless

[Anne_SC]

After she was ignored by Nicolao, Cecilia went back to her office, where she saw the sheets on the floor, which she threw in the air with Gavin. She started picking them up.

I hope it'll be ok now, forever. Or maybe better than ok. Nah, I wished.

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ I'm back!! :) ]]

[Anne_SC]

[YAY! xD] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin pushed the door to his office open, two steaming cups of coffee in his hands

"Hey babe, wakey wakey. I got you some coffee..." he said.

He stopped when he realised Delilah was nowhere to be seen. What the.. he thought, placing the coffee down on his desk and sitting down in his chair, shutting his eyes tightly. This is not happening he told himself

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia walked down the hallway to Gavin's office to check if he was alright.
"Knock knock" she said as she walked in.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah walked into Gavin's office. "Sorry, sweetie," she said softly. "I'm back now."

She climbed onto his lap and kissed him. "You brought me coffee? How sweet!"

She took a cup and sipped at it. "I had a nice sleep."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin put an arm around Delilah, unsure quite what to do. Where had she been?

He saw Cecilia at the door and smiled

"Hey C," he said, signalling she could come in.

Gavin sipped at his own coffee and drowned in his thoughts,

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia sat down on one of the chairs.
"How are you? I'm still sorry about the storage you know." she laughed.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin laughed and let his hands gently tickle Delilah so she wouldn't think he was ignoring her

"No problem. I guess I could have done with a cool down" he joked, "and yea I'm fine thanks."

[Anne_SC]

She laughed "I do think that was a little too much of a cool down. It was freezing in there. I wonder why."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin smirked

"Better not be that freezing when it's my office!" he teased, "super cool bachelor pad, remember!"

[Anne_SC]

"Don't worry there will be a window and you can open the door from both ways." she smiled. "I'll make it cool then, not freezing, cool."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin smirked and laughed playfully at her joke

"As long as it has a big desk and enough room to entertain all my 'lady friends' then I'll manage fine!"

[Anne_SC]

"Lady friends?" she laughed. "And where will you get them from?" she asked.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah flinched a little.

All my 'lady friends'...

She hoped Gavin was joking. Was he? Was he? She was uncertain.

[stylequeen_SC]

"Mail order," Gavin laughed, resting his hands behind the back of his head, "where else?!"

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia couldn't stop laughing.
"And how do you think they'll get in this building?" she breathed. "I don't think our receptionist will let them in."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin laughed and noticed Delilah flinch

"Don't worry about it, I'm only joking" he whispered into her ear, kissing her neck.

He then turned back to a giggling Cecilia,

"Oh I have my ways to get around the receptionist!" he teased, "chocolate and a rose should do it!"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah flinched more.

"Maybe then, I'll get a better boss who actually appreciates what he has," she spoke up bitterly.

She rose from Gavin's lap.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin's smile faded abruptly.

I've pushed her too far. Shit! I was just frustrated

He jumped up from his seat and pulled on Delilah's arm,

"I'm sorry," he said honestly, "I appreciate what I have. I have you and I couldn't be any happier."

Gavin looked at Cecilia apologetically, knowing she wouldn't like him with Delilah but he didn't care. She was all he cared about, she couldn't leave him

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah stared up at Gavin.

Then act like it instead of making those jokes with Cecilia, she thought bitterly. You don't see me cracking jokes about getting a sexy new boss with a hot body.

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia was still giggling a little, she couldn't help it that what Gavin said before was funny.
"I'm sorry" she said through her laughing. "I can't help it"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin sighed, glaring at Cecilia who was still giggling. He walked over to her and pushed her out of his office, closing the door on her and sliding the lock into place. He couldn't deal with her right now, however much he wanted to joke with her. He had a gorgeous girlfriend who he'd hurt

"I'm sorry babe," Gavin said to Delilah, picking up her hands, "I don't know whats gotten into me today. I know I love you though,"

[DarkPhoenix]

"Then bloody well act like it!" Delilah snapped. "How would you like it if I made cracks with Amber about getting a sexy new boss with a nice body? Don't think you'd find that too amusing."

She looked Gavin over and said, "Stop trying to impress Cecilia. She already freaking wants you."

[Anne_SC]

(OOOONEE NIGHT AND ONE MORE TIIIMEE, Tnks fr th mmrs even if they weren't so great - LOL, sorry i'm testing my new Radio station thingy)

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin sighed heavily, seeing his hands trembling

"I'm sorry," he repeated, "I'm an idiot. I shouldn't take you for granted."

He picked up one of Delilah's hands and kissed it, closing his eyes,

"Sorry. Listen babe I really do love you. I never lied to you."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah shook her head. "It's not always that easy, Gavin," she said.

"You can't think that you can kiss me and everything will be fine."

She turned from him, frowning.

"I don't play those kinds of games, Gavin. What makes you think you should?"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin touched her cheek, upset at her frown

"I don't play games Delilah," he said, "nothing I did with you was a game."

He took a step away from her, knowing she didn't need him all over her right now

"What can I do?" he asked, feeling tears brimming in his eyes but blinked them back stupidly, "I don't want to hurt you. Ever."

[DarkPhoenix]

"Go out there with Cecilia. I'm sure she enjoys your humor," Delilah replied.

She picked up her purse. "Maybe one day, you'll understand," she added. "But right now, you need to learn to appreciate me."

She walked out of the office and into the elevator. She pressed a button at random.

Any floor. Just get me away from this for a while, she thought.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin called after Delilah as she walked away but didn't get an answer. He sighed heavily, desperately hoping he hadn't ruined everything with his stupid jokes and collasped into his chair, his head in his hands. Allowing the tears to fall he took out his cell and, knowing it would have no effect, sent Delilah a text

Sorry. I'll let you dance on the desks if you come back
-Gav R xxx

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia slowly walked into the room. "Are you ok?" she asked, knowing that is was a stupid question.

[DarkPhoenix]

((I have to go to work. I'll be back sometime this afternoon.))

[stylequeen_SC]

"Are you ok?" Cecilia asked.

Gavin looked up and glared at her,

"Ok! Do I look f*kin ok?!" he shouted.

[[ bye phoenix :howdy: ]]

[Anne_SC]

Her face changed from caring to angry.
"In some way, I expected you to say that, and you know what, you don't look f*kin ok! And you're not the one who f*ked up, it's her. She was the one who gets angry at you for having fun. For joking" she shouted back. She meant it.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin didn't know whether to shout or cry

"She doesnt like me being friends with you. You told her you f*kin wanted to jump on her boyfriend! What does she expect!"

[Anne_SC]

"I never said that!" she said. She walked closer to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I really didn't. It's a lie"


((LOL she really didn't say that... :s))

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin shrugged Cecilia's hand from his shoulder

"That's really not helping I'm sure," he said, calming his voice down, "well you've certainly given the impression to her that you want me in your bed. How do you think she feels? I just try to be friendly to you, but I don't want to lose Delilah."

[Anne_SC]

"I already told you how I feel. Its harder for me than for her, sorry to say that, but that's the truth." she sighed. "Gavin, I can't help it that I love you ok? And you know what? If she gets mad at you just because you talk to me, it means she doesn't trust you."

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: I'm going up to my cottage today, so I won't be around guys. Just pretend Amber's sitting around in her office all day or something :P

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin sighed heavily

"I know. But I trust Delilah and don't like her talking to Nicolao. She drank earlier this morning and I nearly died, I didn't realise she'd gone back to that stuff; but it was like she was expecting me to hit her or something," he replied. He paused and realised he was babbling, not supposed to be telling Cecilia this stuff, "she had a right to get mad. I don't appreciate her."

[Anne_SC]

"I just don't know what to say anymore" she said. And sat down next to him.

[stylequeen_SC]

"Me neither," Gavin admitted

[Anne_SC]

She was silent. Did they break up or was it just a really bad fight. Delilah was right on the other hand that kisses cant solve anything.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin sighed and shut his eyes tightly. They hadn't broken up, he was sure of that; it was just a fight, a lovers tiff...right?

"Tell me what to do," he said suddenly to Cecilia, "you're a girl, how do I make this up to her?"

[Anne_SC]

"I seriously don't know, Gavin. Guys never really liked me, they cheated on me and stuff. THey never made it up to me, so I don't know."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin nodded, a plan formulating in his head as she spoke

"Well I'm not a cheater. I didn't even cheat on her, all I did was talk to you..." he said vacantly

[Anne_SC]

"Nope you didn't, so why is she angry? think of that. Is it a reason to be angry? She talked to Nicolao didn't she?"

[stylequeen_SC]

''I'm not looking at who to blame here," Gavin snapped back, "she's angry because...well cause I'm a jerk!"

He ordered his thoughts in his head, figuring out what he was going to do until a plan had been formulated, he just hoped he got to her before she ran into Nicolao's arms

[Anne_SC]

"Want coffee or something?" she asked, irritated.

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ sorry be back in like 20 mins. I'm just in game taking photos for a contest ]]

[Anne_SC]

[Ok, ^_^ I'll wait] roflcopter

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, dug in his drawer, as Jeisa looked over his portfolio. She was the quiet type, he supposed. As he unscrewed the cap, he didn't give a damn as he drank his Jack in front of her. Thankfully, he stashed the stuff all over the office. With the drawer still open, he took a bottle of Tylenol, and washed three down with the amber liquid.

As the woman sat there engorged over the sketches, he leaned back in his chair, and thought of that same song, it chanted over and over in his mind,
Yesterday has been and gone
Tommorow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except me, I'm the lonely one
I live in shame

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And I feel the time is right
Although I know that you just might say to me
What'cha gonna do
What'cha gonna do
But I have to take this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on now

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again

I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end

He was kinda pissy after that, and wondered if the young, fresh looking girl would speak up. Fiddling with a stack of papers, he looked up at Jeisa once again.

[Anne_SC]

[Argh G2G] roflcopter

[Anne_SC]

[BACK] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ ok lol I'm back too ]]

[Anne_SC]

[It's your turn to make him say something LOL, unless you want me to do something] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ could you do something :P I'm tired and lazy lol ]]

[Anne_SC]

[lol, ok]

Cecilia walked over to the pot and made two cups of coffee. "Here you go" she said and gave him the coffee. "We just can't talk to eachother without someone fighting or being angry can we?" she said. "We can go grab a sandwich or something, you need distraction."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked at Cecilia and slowly shook his head, taking a sip from his coffee

"I'm not sure that's a good idea right now. A lunch date with you isn't going to make Delilah very happy, right!" he replied, laughing a little

"But thanks for the coffee," he added

[Anne_SC]

"Oh, right" she laughed. "Then I can go and grab two sandwiches in the canteen if you want that." she offered and stood up. "It's going to be ok, Gavin." she said as she lay her hand on his shoulder.
Did I just say that... what the...

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin let out a heavy breath and nodded

"Sure. a sandwich would be great." he replied

[Anne_SC]

"Ok" she said, "Be right back" she walked out of the room and made her way down the stairs to the canteen, where she grabbed two sandwiches. She quickly walked back.
"I'm back" she said and gave him a sandwich.

[stylequeen_SC]

"Cheers," Gavin said, tearing the paper open and taking a bite out of it

"Seriously C, tell me what I should do. I need to prove I appreciate her...right? Well, how would you know a guy appreciated you?"

[Anne_SC]

"No guy ever cared for me, I really don't know" she said as she took a bite out of her own sandwich. "I don't even know how it feels"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked at his feet, sighing

"You're not help at all!" he teased

[Anne_SC]

"Yeah i'm sorry that I chose the wrong men." she laughed. "Do you care for me?"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin ran his hands through his hair and groaned

"Don't start this again! Do I care about you in what way?"

[Anne_SC]

"Just... care. I mean how do I explain. Would you care if I get hurt or anything. I'm sorry to start this I just want to know"

[stylequeen_SC]

"Yes I'd care if you got hurt. You're my friend, right?" Gavin asked, "it's not like I hate you or anything!"

[Anne_SC]

She laughed. "Nah, you don't hate me. Unlike the rest of my employees." she took another bite. "I care about you too"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin stopped himself from smashing her head into the window behind him and just smiled

"Seriously, let's not start this again. As long as you don't love me then that's ok."

[Anne_SC]

"Then we've got a problem" she said with a laugh. And quickly stuffed(?) her mouth with the rest of the sandwich.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin kicked her under the desk and moaned again

"It's not love." he said seriously, "it's lust."

[Anne_SC]

"It's love" she said again. "If it was lust, I would be on top of you now."

[Anne_SC]

[Dinnerrr!] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin felt his cheeks turning red and he laughed uncomfortabley

"Erm. I don't think it is love. I think it's lust, but you have some self control."

[Anne_SC]

"It's love!" she said once again, now sounding a little childish. And pushed him gently.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin sighed again and let himself laugh a little,

"It's not love," he repeated, "we aren't close enough for it to be love."

[Anne_SC]

"It's love" she repeated. "It's love It's love It's love It's love It's love It's love" she laughed.

[stylequeen_SC]

"Ok I accept it," Gavin said, letting out a small laugh, "you think it's love."

[Anne_SC]

Her eyes widened. "No it is love." he laughed, it was nice to see that.

[stylequeen_SC]

"I'm sorry C, I really don't know what to say to you. I know the only thing you want me to say is I love you too, but I don't. I'm sorry," Gavin said gently

[Anne_SC]

"I know" she said softly. "But there is some lust" she laughed again.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin shook his head and ran his hands through his hair

"No C. If it was lust, I would be on top of you now." he said, repeating the line she's used earlier

[Anne_SC]

"I can feel it Gavin." she said, laughing at his qoute. "What happened, Gavin, I mean... with what you said a few weeks earlier?"

[stylequeen_SC]

"What did I say?" he asked, knowing he could be tredding in dangerous territory. She was wrong though, there was no lust. There wasn't

[Anne_SC]

"You said there was love, and that you were postponing it. Or something" she looked at the door.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked shocked,

"I never said I loved you!" he said stunned, "I just said I couldn't feel anything for you right now."

[Anne_SC]

"You did say it." she said to him. "And you know it."
"Wait, this isn't going to turn into a fight?"

[stylequeen_SC]

"I never said I loved you. How dare you accuse me of that!" Gavin snapped, jumping to his feet


(( I dont think he did say that anne! lol ))

[Anne_SC]

((LOL Don't be. Your offer isn't refused completely - just postponed
-Gav R what did that mean? Oh god xD I knew they were going to fight))





Her eyes widened. "I'm sorry" she snapped back. "Just calm down ok?"

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ it meant that maybe he could feel something for her but he didnt right then ]]

Gavin blew his top. He pushed his coffee cup off the table and it smashed on the floor, spilling hot brown liquid everywhere

"Don't tell me to f*kin calm down!" he shouted at her.

He picked up the photo album Delilah had left and a box of photos from his desk drawer and stormed out of his own office.

[Anne_SC]

[Err... why did he storm out? LOL Now I can't rp! :( *cry* Ok, lemme guess, he's going to Delilah, Delilah forgives him, they have sex, problem solved? xD]

She stood there and watched him storm out.
"DON'T F*KIN THINK WE'LL BE FRIENDS IF IT ALWAYS GOES LIKE THIS!"

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ lmao. not sure that's the way it goes this time lol. i just thought maybe this conversation needed a bit more drama! and no hez not going to delilah yet ]]

[Anne_SC]

[Oh, idea]


Cecilia quickly ran after him and grabbed his hand.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin pulled his hand away from whoever grabbed it. He spun around,

"What?" he asked when he saw Cecilia

[Anne_SC]

"Please" she begged, not really mentioning anything.

[stylequeen_SC]

"What?" Gavin repeated, not sure what she wanted him to do

[Anne_SC]

"Don't do this" she said sofly.

[stylequeen_SC]

"I'm not doing anything," Gavin said, "I'm un-doing it."

He pulled his hand away from her

[Anne_SC]

"Then stop un-doing it or whatever!" she said.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin screamed inside his head

"You know I can't do anything with you C. The only thing we can be is friends. I thought I made that clear"

[Anne_SC]

"Yeah, you did, but with everything we talk about, you have to bring Delilah up, sorry, but no thank you. Or I have nothing to do with your relationship or alot, I prefer the first option. I mean, can't we just have a normal conversation about work or something. Oh wait, nevermind. Screwing her is working for you isn't it? Right sorry about that."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin could feel his anger rising again

"You always seem to want me to like, jump on you!" he snapped, "and I don't screw Delilah as work. Why do you think we've even done that before anyway!"

[Anne_SC]

"Jezus Christ, Gavin, do you really think I don't know what happens in there? Ane of course I want you to jump on me, I f*kin love you! What do you expect? For ONCE in my f*kin life I had the feeling that a guy cared about me."

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin groaned and put his hand on her shoulder

"Firstly, what Delilah and I do is none of your business, and second, I do care about you. I just dont want to jump on you!"

[Anne_SC]

"Let me make this clear, ok? Whenever Delilah is around you start to act weird to me. Like when you said the uh-oh thing, what the h*ll did that mean? If you really cared of me. You wouldn't act like you don't like me when other people are around." she aggressively moved his hand away.
"And this office isn't some kind of social center, it's a place where you should work. And believe me, you don't need her with everything you do."
she turned around and started walking away.

[Anne_SC]

[G2G <3 Training] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin scowled after her, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

He came to the store cupboard he had been locked in and walked in, making sure to wedge something in the door so it didn't close, and sat down on the rough carpet. He took out a couple of candles from the box he'd brought and lit them with the lighter in his pocket, making the dingy room fill with light. Gavin then emptied the box onto the floor, hundreds of photos falling to the floor and he began to sort through them. He opened Delilah's photo album and turned to a clean page, beginning to cut, stick, paste and write, his tongue hanging out in concentration.

An hour later he'd finished, held up the page proudly, lay down and fell asleep

[[ you'll find out what he's done later lol :P ]]

[Anne_SC]

[Oh god xD Did he just paste his photo's on hers so it looks like they are together? Is he going to stalk her :o]

Cecilia walked inot the café and sat down at the bar. A man walked towards her and asked her if she wanted anything to drink.
"Yes... A purple rain cocktail would be fine" she smiled as the bartender made the cocktail and placed it in front of her, she payed and started drinking. After a while she emptied the glass. She shove it forwards and the bartender kindly filled it again. This happened for about ten times.

It was already late when Cecilia walked out of the café, her purse empty and her vision blurred. She took her car keys and opened the door. She placed the keys in the car and started the car. She drove off the parking lot and started driving.

[LOL]

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ don't be stupid. he isn't thaaat sad!!! lol :P ]]

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa wasn't as engrossed in the sketches as she seemed to be. Nicolao asked her something about being fierce for the camera. She thought about her answer, and while she did, he took a swig of alcohol. [i]Maybe it's a test, to see how professional I am[/i, she thought. He popped a couple Tylenol in his mouth with it.

"That's the best part of modeling," she said. "You get to be a different person. You get to get in to character and pretend to be someone else completely. That's my favorite part," she added quickly.

He seemed to be bored with her; she had to agree that she was pretty mundane. She picked out her favorite sketch and held it up.

"This one's the best, I think."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah stumbled around the building for hours. She was disoriented and unsure of where she was anymore.

Is this the first floor or fifth? Designer floor or canteen? Does it really matter? she thought.

Weak from a combination of hunger, exhaustion, and pure sadness, she managed to tap the nearest door once before finally fainting.

[stylequeen_SC]

A loud crash as something, or someone hit the floor jerked Gavin awake. He sat up slowly, rubbing his shoulder and looked around, realising where he was. He gathered together the mess he'd made and Delilah's photo album and left the storage room, walking to the elevator and pressed the button for his floor. As the doors slid open he dropped everything, including his jaw

"Delilah!" he said in disbelief, seeing the thin figure of his girlfriend flat on her back, eyes closed, "sh*t what the hell have you done!" he said, rushing to her side.

[[ sorry if you didnt want to see Gavin, but tough :eviltongu lol ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

From the faintly buzzing blackness, Delilah faintly heard someone call her name, or thought she did. Perhaps she was hallucinating.

She tried to speak, but found herself unable to.

Just as well. What am I going to say-- sorry for passing out on the clean floor? she thought wryly, as she fully passed out.

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ sorry I'm off :howdy: byeeee!! (ps: they're still together right?) :weep: ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

((Presumably, right?))

[butterflykiss]

[Nicolao[/B], listened intently to what Jeisa had to say, and she was right. [i]You get to be a different person. You get to get in to character and pretend to be someone else completely. That's my favorite part..... Nicolao nodded, as he took her response as a double meaning, "You are right, that was the best possible answer you could have stated. I honestly don't see fierce in you, actually you remind me of my sist..., never mind," he muttered as he shook his head, the frustration lined on his forehead.

Looking over the design she liked the best, it was glam met the girl next door, and as he narrowed his eyes looking over the pattern, then her body, and back to the pattern again, he made a minor adjustment to the sketch. "Yes, well I must confess, this is not my favorite work, but Jeisa, this design, it seemed to be made for you. The lines of your petite body, would mesh perfectly with the dress. I made a minor adjustment, the back."

The back was plunging almost to areas, oh no man's land. A light plum material, to contrast her hair, with camel earthy accents. With the charcoal, in his mouth he handed her the ending result, "Rut dro you rink?" Then he took the pencil from his pursed lips, "I mean what do you think?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah managed a low groan, becoming conscious for a moment, but no more.

Help... she thought. Someone... Gavin, Nicolao... anyone... just help me... I want...

She did not complete her thought, as she slipped back into the blackness.

[butterflykiss]

{{eeepp send message in a bottle, telepathic warning, Nicolao, puts on his bright burnt orange cape, and carries a plate of godiva chocolate, and Jack Daniel's to awaken Delilah's senses.}}

[DarkPhoenix]

((Basically, that's what she's trying to do-- send out a mental SOS.))

[butterflykiss]

As he retorted what Jeisa thought, he got this raw sensation in the pit of his stomach, the last time that happened something terrible happened to his familia. Once again, he thought maybe something happened to, hell, he knew no one, everyone close to him, well they were six feet under. Crap, don't let there be something happen to Delilah. Still this didn't leave him at ease, as he looked at Jeisa, knowing he was acting completely erratic, but he picked up the phone, dialing her extension.

As it ran and ran, he chanted, Please answer, please answer...

[[sorry can't leave Spooner hangin.]

[DarkPhoenix]

((Eating. I will be back later. Just do whatever with Delilah. Just remember, she's unconscious and in/around Gavin's office.))

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: Baaaaaaaaack :P Feel free to include Amber in things now!

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa showed him the sketch, which he then took and said "Yes, well I must confess, this is not my favorite work, but Jeisa, this design, it seemed to be made for you. The lines of your petite body, would mesh perfectly with the dress. I made a minor adjustment, the back." He took his charcoal pencil and made adjustments as he spoke, making quick strokes her and there.

Jeisa was entranced by his movements; they were so sure and swift. Nicolao put his pencil in his mouth, biting down on it as he made a few smudges with his finger.

"Rut dro you rink?" Then he took the pencil from his lips, "I mean what do you think?"

She was just about to reply, when Nicolao seemed to change.He paled. His dark brows furrowed, and wrinkles appeared on his forehead. His eyes turned a bit cloudy and dream-like. He picked up the phone and dialed a number, but no one seemed to be answering.

"Is something wrong?" asked Jeisa, clearly worried. "Can I do anything for you?"

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, still listened for any reply, when there was none, he just looked at Jeisa blankly. He was overreacting, maybe it was all the booze. F**k he was unable to do his job, there was a model in front of him, and he was worrying like a bloody fool. "No, I hope not, so what do you think? I apologize, I am far from myself today. Great first impression, I am sure. If you would like, I could give you a call when the sample design is ready. You are a size two?"

As he ran his fingers over his temples, he turned the phone on speaker phone, listening to the tedious ringing. Even though the speaker was set low, a pin drop could have feel on the wood planked flooring, and make more noise.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah floundered in the blackness. Nothingness. Buzzing silence.

She tried again to call out for help, to will a miracle to occur.

Send help.

In Nicolao's office, the speaker phone crackled with static and a voice, barely audible, yet still recognizable, whispered, "Send help."

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: wowies. It really seems like I miss something major every time I go away! :P

[Spoonerism_SC]

((Yeah, me too. I only know that they've got ESP. :D))

Nicolao stared blankly at Jeisa for a moment after she asked if there was anything she could to help, as if he didn't understand.

"No, I hope not, so what do you think? I apologize, I am far from myself today. Great first impression," he gave a wry laugh."I am sure. If you would like, I could give you a call when the sample design is ready. You are a size two?"

"Yes, I am," she nodded eagerly, hoping that somehow her eagerness could somehow lift his damper spirit. Nicolao rubbed his temples; maybe the alcohol was getting to him, or perhaps he just wasn't in the mood for working with people today.

Then the speaker phone crackled, a voice was heard faintly. "Send help," it said. It sounded like it came from a weak girl, and Jeisa guessed that she needed help. She looked at Nicolao to see if he had heard it to.

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: I'm off for the day again! :P Amber's still in her office I guess :P

[butterflykiss]

{{sorry I hate dell, my computer is like grrrrr, but hopefully it is fixed. Sorry for the delay in posting.}}

As he stood up, pushing the chair against the desk with a thud. Nicolao's took her uplifting attitude, with a brilliant teethy smile. "Thanks Jeisa, for a crappy day, I am happy to have met you. I will have the sample ready a.s.a.p., tomorrow at least. Do you mind if I give you a call, or email you when it is finished?" His deep brown eyes, were warm, a sense of gratitude lit them.

Then cackle across the speaker sent the hairs on the back of his neck stiffen. Looking at Jeisa, then the phone, then back at Jeisa, as if to insinuate that they both indeed heard the same thing. The look in Jeisa eyes reflected that she too, heard the raspy voice that rang through the static on the phone.

That voice, even though faint, he would recognize it from a rowdy mob of people. Nicolao's eyes wide, with exploration, as he wondered if he drank to much, but then again, Jeisa was perfectly sober. "Did that, did it, it might me, how in the hell, wait, yes, you heard that, I heard that, I gotta go, something right, not right, sh*t, sorry, Jeisa," he rambled on and on in a nervous fit. One way or another, he would find out, she was just down the stairs.

With a wave, he flew through the door like a flash of light, his hair flowing caressing around his face. "Jeisa I will meet with you later, I apologize, this meeting was not as intended," he blurted as he ran through the large masculinely decor of an office.

Running through the corridor, he forgot the elevator, he couldn't wait, I mean, what if something happened after those brief minutes that he tapped feverishly over the button of the lift. Taking the stairs two at a time, he landed on the first floor thankfully in one piece. Now don't tell me how he did it cuz he was two sheets to the wind, but right, heros, are heroish.

The first floor was barren, as he catapulted through the hallways, as he rounded the corner he tripped on something, and fell smack dab into the drywall. D*mn it, I don't ever do things half-as*ed. Remind me not to drink, and run at the same time. Stupid f*ck. Peeling himself from the wall, he moaned a wee bit, over his plunder. When he found out who was leaving sh*t in the hallway, he would have there job. Diverting his eyes to the object in the hall, it wasn't a stack of paperwork, bolts of fabric, or even those cr*ppy plastic trashcans. It was Delilah, and to her side, was that punk as* m*fo.

At this moment he didn't speak, he pushed the Gavin guy away, and elevated Delilah's body. "What the bloody hell did you do to her?" he growled with a low tumbling roar. "Delilah, I don't know how you did it, but I am here," as his voice cracked he sat there with her in his arms, rocking her body, as his voice flatly sang, "
And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about
And I can't image what empty heads can achieve
Leave me alone, don't want your promises no more
'Cos rock & roll is my religion and my law
Won't ever change, may think it's strange
You can't kill rock & roll, it's here to stay

Lookin' through eyes of time
Mirrors reflecting their stories untrue
Promises, promises
Telling me all of my glories overdue
How many times have I heard it before
And I'll probably hear it again
King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table light
Losing to you.

As they sat there in the hallway, it was if they were the only ones there in his drunken head. That all the others had vanished from time and space. His head burrowed in the curve of her neck, as he continued to say the lyrics. For whatever reason, from the first day he met Delilah, they were joking around, and acting like totally dorks. It was nice for him, his personality never left time for the fun side. Whatever happened, he just sat there in the hallway rocking her body against his repetitively.

{I didn't know they had esp either, just going with the flow hehehee.Nicolao is a strong personality, I am sorry if anyone is offended, in advance. }} :banana: :grouphug:

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia drove off the highway and decieded to take the route next to the sea. She enjoyed the blurred view. Suddenly everything started spinning and she started moving the steering-wheel to all sides, the car started turning around and moving every way. Her head stopped spinning, but it was already too late. She drove right into the railing. Her car drove off the street. She was about 15 metres above the ground when her car sort of dove in the sea. She tried to untie her safety belt, but lost her breath. She closed her eyes and gave up.

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ :weep: :cry: :weep: Gavin wants a vacation. He's done with his screwy work life: Delilah's in love with Nicolao and Cecilia is dead :weep: lol ]]

[Anne_SC]

[LOOOL She isn't dead ;) I wouldn't kill her.] roflcopter (If you want to know why i always say roflcopter, it's because I need to lengthen my post and I just like the word xD)

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked at Nicolao holding Delilah and something hurt him inside. Like his heart was breaking or something

"I didn't do anything to her you jacka*s!" he said, standing up.

He walked a little way down the hallway and turned the corner, thinking about leaving her in Nicolao's drunken hands, sh*t I can't do that! He'd f*kin kill her the way he is. Instead he continued down the corridor, took out his cell and dialed 911, getting an ambulance here as fast as he could and then ran back to Delilah. He knelt down beside Nicolao,

"Look you can say whatever the f*k you want about me, I don't care about you. I do care about her however," Gavin said fiercly, clasping Delilah's hand, "and so lets just get her safe together! Okay?"

He leant over her and listened, see if she was breathing, "Delilah hun, can you hear me? You'll be fine." he said softly, holding back his tears. But what the hell happens if she isn't!! If anyone lets my girlfriend die I'll kick their sorry a*sses out of here! He stroked her forehead gently, hoping the ambulance would get here soon

[Anne_SC]

[I'm going to remake Cecilia xD And then do stuff ingame xD] roflcopter

[butterflykiss]

Looking up as if in a daze, he stared blankly at Gavin. If anything Gavin made a wee bit of sense, he wasn't in the best of disposition, as reeked of booze, and looked like a bum. "If you hurt her, I swear to you, I will rip out your liver, and serve it to some destitute, hungry third world country. To you understand me, I am not what you think, and will gladly give you a new as*hole. Damn it." He was losing his edge, the fury, what the hell happened to Delilah?

As he ran his hand over her short chestnut locks, he peered up once again, "Did you call for someone, ambulance, doctor, someone?" Then as Gavin leaned over his dark eyes seethed, "Don't move her, we don't know what is wrong, don't move her." He didn't go into the factor that he already moved her against his broad chest as he continued to rock her in his arms.

{{You don't know that Nikki!!! DarkPhoenix is holding the cards. It is all for fun, either way, I am happy :) *pulls up the corner of Nikki's lips* Awww better!! *Hands popcorn, and chocolate cake*}}

[butterflykiss]

{{Aye, I understand, but I am harmless, hehe. All in good fun, and heyyy cakee *goes to the kitchen to make more* And if you don't feel your character, you are a not a writer, that makes them more realistic yes?!?! I am a spaz. I will be back later, to respond to the turmoil hehehee. *waves* see ya Nikki!!}}

[DarkPhoenix]

((I'll be back later. But here's my two cents: Delilah basically used an "untapped" portion of her brain to basically send out a message for help. Nicolao's speakerphone happened to be at the right frequency to pick it up. Basically, if Amber had been on her cell phone or Cecilia had been on a phone in her office, either of them might have picked it up also. Delilah is not going to die; she has basically blacked out from a combination of stress, hunger, and drinking on an empty stomach. As to whether Delilah is in love with Nicolao... well, that's just pretty much up in the air. What is definite is that she does care about him as a person and is concerned about his well-being.))

"Welcome to the 8 o'clock news on Net 5."

"Cecilia Queen, a known woman in the fashion industry, is missing. She dissapeared after a night of working and was last seen in the 'Black Hawk Café'. Later her car was found on the west side of the city in the sea. She possibly slipped of the track and drove into the sea, there was no sign of Cecilia. If you know anything about what happened please call this number..."

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ oh no!!! :jaw: ]]

[Anne_SC]

[TEEHEEE, did Gavin see that? Make him hear it on the radio, I wanna rp xD] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ I would but I've kinda got writers block atm :( ]]

[Anne_SC]

[You mean, like you don't know anything?] roflcopter

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ no I mean I can't think of anything to write. I've hit a brick wall in creativity lol ]]

[Anne_SC]

[Yeah that's what I meant xD Make him go like: :o ] roflcopter.

[DarkPhoenix]

((I'm back now!))

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ hi DarkPhoenix :D welcome back ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

((Now... back to the fun roleplaying! Let's assume the ambulance has arrived by now!))

[butterflykiss]

{{ambulance le gasp. Do you want to rp it, or one of us. Doesn't matter to me. Wb all, just got back from the dr. *grumble*}}

[DarkPhoenix]

((One of you do it. I still need to take a shower and heat up my dinner.))

[Spoonerism_SC]

Jeisa waved a little bit and tried to smile as Nicolao shot out of his seat and the door, but she was seriously confused. She sat and tired to figure out if she should investigate, or just leave the building. She gathered her portfolio and took a last look at the dress she would be wearing soon before heading out the door.

She pressed the button to the elevator and waited for nearly a minute. Tired of waiting, she decided to take the stairs. Maybe the elevator would be on the next floor down. She took off her high-heels, as she still wasn't accustomed to going down stairs with them on, and hopped down the stairs. Then, Jeisa walked down the hallway to the floor's elevator. As she was bending down to put her shoes back on, she heard yelling.

Curious, she walked cautiously to wear the shouts were coming from. One of the voices, she found out, belonged to Nicolao, the other to a different man. On the floor was a girl, who by the looks of it had passed out.

"Oh my God, what happened?" said Jeisa, alarmed. Just then the paramedics burst out of the elevator and ran towards the fallen woman.

[butterflykiss]

{{Okey dokey}}

The incessant siren of the ambulance that made him life his head from her. The EMT's filed out of the two doors, rushing through the automatic doors of Queen's Clothes office building. The two men went to work checking Delilah's vitals, as the randomly asked questions, "What happened here? Were either of you here when this happened? Does she have a history of health related problems? Does she smoke, drink...."

They droned on, and on, as Nicolao sat against the cold wall. He knew non of the answers to the EMT's questions, only it made it more clear, he knew nothing about Delilah. If they would have asked what her favorite chocolate, brand of coffee, or favorite rock bad, he would have been all over it, but he was clueless about the questions they asked. Gavin seemed more of a likely choice to answer all the above.

Stepping backwards slowly, "She is going to be okay isn't she?" His words got him only a firm nod, as he slid out of the way, and into the canteen.

As he put fifty cents in the slot, he pressed the button to get a Pepsi, and sat there with the unopened can of Pepsi. Pressing the side of the can to his forehead, as he tried to regain his former mind. It seemed to be gone, as he sat there wondering what happened to Delilah, but he couldn't stay there, he already invade there space. It was Gavin's girl, he already stepped much to much. Gavin's girl, his girl. When she wakes up they will make out, and I can't watch that.

"I have work to do, designs to sew, and Jeisa will be in my office bright and early, so I gotta work." Passing through the hallway where Delilah laid, Gavin stood over her, he knew what he had to do, let go. Work, throw himself into his work, it was the only way.

Nicolao looked up at Jeisa, and held onto her shoulders for support, "Something wrong, I don't know. She called, that was her, I know it was, I don't know how, or why, but it was her." There was no denying he was trying not to unravel in front of the whole office, so he chanted to Jeisa, "I should work, I can't do anything here, she has Gavin." His voice was raspy, with a twinge of sorrow. I will never fight over a woman again.

{{left it open ended in case anyone wants to reply.}}

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah passed in and out of consciousness.

Nothingness. She seemed to float in a black nothingness. No warmth. No sound. Nothing. And then...

A moment of consciousness. To everyone else, it lasted no more than three seconds, but to a person who has no control over consciousness, who slips in and out of that enveloping nothingness, it seemed to be eternity itself.

Warmth. Someone held her. And there was a sound. Someone singing.

She wondered if she had died, and heaven was actually just this blackness that had, not harps, but rock music. She did not have long to ponder this.

Unconsciousness swallowed her up again.

Cecilia opened her eyes and coughed. She looked around and stood up. Her head hurt. And so did her legs and arms. She walked around.
Where am I she thought. She was all wet and she felt like throwing up. She then noticed the deep cut on her arm.
"Argh! she said as she touched it. She walked a little further and saw she was on a beach. She soft sand caressed her feet as she walked upon a rock. She sat down. She was in the middle of no where.
"Save me" she said.

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: Holy crap guys o.0 Remind me never to go away again!

Ummm.....hmmm...what to do with Amber.

[Anne_SC]

[Make her see the news xD] roflcopter

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: Sorry i didn;t post quicker, I kept getting database errors for this site -.- And random, but Alexander's name is spelt wrong on the first page :)

(Okay, I'll pretend it's the end of the day, or she went home early or something like that :P Because if she had been there she woulda done something about Delilah :))
***************************************

Amber lounged around on her brother's couch while he was in the kitchen making dinner. She had gone over after work to continue discussing the case with him, and he insisted she stay and have dinner.

Which meant he was making his world famous spaghetti ,a.k.a. the only thing he can manage not to burn. She flicked through the channels until a picture that flashed on the news caught her eye. "Oh my god" she said, straightening up and turning the volume up "That's Cecilia".

"Cecilia Queen, a known woman in the fashion industry, is missing. She dissapeared after a night of working and was last seen in the 'Black Hawk Café'. Later her car was found on the west side of the city in the sea. She possibly slipped of the track and drove into the sea, there was no sign of Cecilia. If you know anything about what happened please call this number..."

"Xander" she shouted "Get over here". Her brother came in from the kitchen and glared at her. "What Amber, I just finished the spaghetti or I'd be throttling you right now".

Amber pointed to the TV screen and said "That's my boss, she's missing". Alexander stared in shock at the flickering screen and sat down to watch the broadcast with his sister.

[Anne_SC]

[Me too :( ]

Cecilia walked around a little but then collapsed on the ground. Her legs hurted so much. She turned around, her sight was on minimum so she couldn't look very far. She crawled and then saw that she was on a little island. She lay down and closed her eyes. She was tired and she had a hangover, but that was her last problem she would really care about. She could be miles away from home and her arm was bleeding like h*ll. She wanted to know what happened.

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ how would one go about saving Cecilia, anne? lol. roflcopter ;) ]]

[Anne_SC]

[xD Well she isn't far from home :) Her sight is just on a minimum, but if her sight was as it should be, she could see the city :) They could track her mobile phone or whatever. And then find it in the sea between the island and the city.]

She crawled some more when she fully lost her sight and the pain got worse, she fainted.

[Slytherin-Girl]

OOC: How exactly would one find a moble phone in the sea ? :confused:

It would have short circuted or something in the water and be un traceable/not work anymore.

*goes off to get some in game pics of Amber+Alex*

[Anne_SC]

[It's roleplay xD IMAGINATION, lol. Or they'll find something, whatever xD her purse or something.] roflcopter

[Anne_SC]

[I want to rp peoples]

Cecilia woke up once again, she felt her heart beating and knew she had lost too much blood. She coughed and hoped someone would find her. As she started fainting again she heard a noise, she knew what the noise was. It was a helicopter! As much as she wanted to stand up, jump and wave, she couldn't. And just hoped the light would find her.
"Help" she cried to herself.
Finally she got spotted by the light and the helicopter lowered.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin watched Delilah being taken away in the ambulance

"Look after her," he said anxiously to the paramedics, "she's special."

She was rushed away and Gavin was unable to follow, praying she'd be ok and swore to get to see her as soon as he could. He needed to prove he loved her and apprecaited her. He walked into his office and collapsed onto his chair, letting out a deep sigh. Suddenly the radio that he had on quietly caught his ear and he turned it up

"Cecilia Queen, a known woman in the fashion industry, is missing. She dissapeared after a night of working and was last seen in the 'Black Hawk Café'. Later her car was found on the west side of the city in the sea. She possibly slipped of the track and drove into the sea, there was no sign of Cecilia. If you know anything about what happened please call this number..."

Gavin inhaled abruptly. First the girl he loved and second the girl who loved him. Was he cursing people? He took his cell from his pants pocket and quickly dialed Cecilia's number, pressing the phone to his ear. Delilah was safe in hospital and there was nothing he could do, but he may be able to help Cecilia. The phone on the other end fizzed and made an odd popping sound and he could hear a swishing. She was near the sea still. Gavin quickly hung up and called the number the radio recited, telling them he knew where she was and he needed a helicopter to go rescue her. Sighing with relief and despair at Delilah, he sank into his chair and shut his eyes


[[ good enough?? ]]

[Anne_SC]

[Yeah yeah ty :) <3 ]


Cecilia smiled, but her smile faded and she fainted again. The helicopter landed on the island and rushed to her. As fast as they could they brought her into the helicopter and flew to the hospital. She could hear the people talking.
"She might not make it"
_ "It's a big risk"
_ "We should try it"
_ "Are you sure?"
_ "She's bleeding like h*ll!"

The last thing she remembered was her laying on the operating table.

[DarkPhoenix]

((BACK! Yayness, and all that!))

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ yayness indeed. im not sure what to RP with delilah ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

In the ambulance, two EMTs examined Delilah. One of them plucked the glasses off her face, peered through them briefly, and remarked to the other, "Hey, Chris, these aren't even real. They're fakes."

"What kind of a weirdo wears fake glasses?" Chris, the other EMT, asked.

"No idea. I bet I know what happened," the first EMT, Rich, said.

"Yeah? What?"

"Little Miss Drama Queen here probably had a fight with her boyfriend and wanted to mix some painkillers and alcohol," Rich replied. He eyed Delilah closely. "Pretty expensive piece of jewelry she's got there," he commented, examining the necklace that Gavin had given Delilah.

Chris snorted. "Probably got it in exchange for some 'favors.' That blonde dude, probably. He looked like he had some dough on him. The way that bum-looking guy with the long hair was acting, I bet he was getting some on the side from her too."

"Probably. I mean, come on, she's a secretary. They're just drama queens and sl*ts anyways," Rich agreed.

They both chuckled meanly. The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital, and they hurried the stretcher into the building.

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, made way towards his office, working would help clear his mind. By now Delilah, and Gavin would have been in the hospital, and safe. He couldn't work, there were countless bundles of paper balled on the floor, as he slammed his fist against the mahogany desktop. "I will call the hospital, surely they will have news now. It has been hours."

The phone rang three times before there was an answer, Parkway General, how can I direct your call?

"I would like some information on Delilah....." he paused because d*mn it he didn't know her last name. His fingers speed across the keypad, as he looked up the Queen's Clothes employee directory. "Delilah Stanton, yes Stanton, her condition or her room please." The whiny voice at the other end stated,

Sir, she is in ER at the moment, and there is no way we can give you any information at the current time.

Nicolao, slammed the phone with a haughty reply, "Thanks for nothing."

Then in the same directory, he called Delilah's cellphone wondering if there was any chance in hell that she would answer. "Pick up, pick up," he chanted as he stood up and paced the room.

He would never get any work done this way, and his office was a mess, littered with a thousand papers. How he hated a mess holy h*ll. Slamming his phone down once again, he didn't give a flying s*** about the office, and left for the day.

Nicolao, knew his car, would be bugged, so he hailed a taxi, and headed off to the hospital. The taxi was another story, as the decrepit man at the wheel went like ten miles an hour, "Listen buddy can you possibly move any faster? A hundred bucks says your foot can press harder of the little pedal," he said with sarcasm.

With a little persuasion he arrived to Parkway General in fifteen minutes flat, with a crisp hundred dollar bill in the skeletal fingers and rushed into the automatic doors. At the desk the woman sat talking to one of her co-workers, Nicolao butted in as he cleared his throat, "Delilah Stanton, or ER, direction, hello." He was losing his patience as they continued to chat, leaning over the counter, he slammed the phone down. "Now ER, or Delilah Stanton, talk later, do your job." The stunned woman stuttered the direction of ER, as he headed that way in a blind fury.

When he reached the nurses station, he felt sick, maybe it was the booze, maybe it was the lack of food in his stomach, or the smell of the sterile bleach infested room, "Delilah Stanton," the nurse rolled her eyes, as he looked for Gavin. When Gavin was no where to be found, he waited in the waiting room, until there was some further information. If anyone would have saw him, they would have never thought it was the brilliant designer from Portugal, but a raving bum with a some sort of inbalancement, mental unstable to say the very least, as he paced up and down the corridor of the waiting room.

[DarkPhoenix]

After an hour, the doctor wrote down some more notes and read them aloud, making sure they were accurate:

"Patient: Delilah Gabrielle Stanton. Age: 24. Marital status: Single. No children, never been pregnant or had any miscarriages. Blood type: O. Only medication she is taking is for birth control. According to her medical records which have been sent over via fax, her only surgery has been to remove her tonsils, done so at age ten. A few scars on her upper arms, possibly either self-inflicted or caused by an accident. Overall, good physical health, however... tests have revealed that there was a high blood-alcohol level, and it appears that she has undergone a good bit of emotional stress in the past few weeks. During the examinations, she fluctuated between various levels of consciousness and unconsciousness, mostly unconscious. During her brief moments of consciousness, she seemed to be trying to say something, perhaps a name. I propose that we keep Miss Stanton in the hospital until she is fully conscious, although, as she is not sickly, visitors can be allowed."

The doctor paused a moment, and then scribbed in another sentence on his clipboard:
"During the examination, as the attached charts will show, her brain activity was unusually high, even while unconscious."

The doctor handed the nurse the charts and notes. She nodded and hurried to bring the papers to the records.

"You poor thing. What the hell happened to make that happen?" he murmured to Delilah, after the nurse left. "I've got a kid your age, and I'd hate to see her in your condition." He frowned a little and whispered, "And what's making your brain so active right now?"

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao, only pestered the nurse, until she knew him by name, and whom he was here to see, as she pat him on the shoulder he jumped abruptly. Nicolao, doctor says you can go in now, good luck my dear.

Even with his thick skinned exterior, he gave her a dull squeeze, his eyes weary from lack of sleep, and the stress didn't help much. The nurse took him to the room she was assigned, and he sunk to the side of the bed.

Delilah's coloring was pale, and without her glasses, she looked petite as if the bed engulfed her. Unsure where Gavin was or if he was on his way, he just talked to her, brushing the hair from her face, "Just me, resident pain in the a**, ya Nicolao. Trying to give us all a scare aren't you. Well, you missed the installation of the new coffee machine, sheer excitement at the office, and well big boss is missing. Seems like she is a screw loose anyways, probably thought she could speak whale. I don't know what you did here, or why you passed out, or where Gavin is. If he, nevermind, if you don't wake up, then well the two tickets I bought will be wasted. Ozzfest, in two weeks, I bought them for a client, call it persuasion if you will, but that is business. Anyway, you wake up, you and Gavin are off to rock the night away. Just be okay, if you haven't noticed, I don't make too many friends. Right, maybe I am wrong, but I like our friendship, so do me a favor, and wake up, and hey, I will throw in some chocolate. Would you could you for chocolate?" He tried to coerce when inside a little piece of him was dying. Never did he like to show emotions, or even be remotely amusing, to himself or others, but he felt maybe it would work, and she would pull through.

"This is hell," he murmured as he slammed his head against the metal bar of the bed. When nothing was happening, and she laid still, he felt his eyes beginning to fall. As he leaned back in the chair, he snored silently, his dark hair falling over his face.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah continued to float in and out of consciousness. She did not like this consciousness as much as she had the consciousness that had been near the beginning of this "eternity." There was no warmth this time-- mostly sterile-smelling coldness, punctuated by voices that spoke in mostly criticizing tones. At least with unconsciousness, there was none of this unpleasantness.

She regained consciousness enough to hear a few words of a familiar, soothing voice: "Scare... installation... screw loose... tickets... business... friendship... wake up."

In her barely conscious state, she struggled to identify the speaker.

Nicolao... she thought. Why's he here...? ...He was the one who sang to me... wasn't he?

Delilah struggled to open her eyes, to speak, to let him know she could hear. Her eyelids felt glued together, and she couldn't even manage to make a sound. She moved her fingers ever so slightly.

He didn't see it. I know he didn't, she thought, as she slipped back into unconsciousness.

[butterflykiss]

Needless to say, even with his exhaustion, he was a light sleeper, he had to be, back home you never knew when there would be a raid, or when soldier's break in. You learned to hide, and you never slept like a log, as they put it. Even the slightest of a gesture, and he was awake, his eyes fluttering over the room wildly, Where am I, oh crap, what moved? As he moved his hand from her bed side, he scanned the room.

Surely they didn't follow him, it was too soon, they didn't know where he was. And damn it that is why he didn't take his car, so they wouldn't be lead here. Peering out of the window, as he inspected ever car, tree, and bush. Nothing. Good, he thought to himself as he looked over her pale body once again. "It's been a long day, and I feel asleep in a chair, I guess I have slept in worse. I maybe losing it here, I swear something just moved. If this place is possessed, I could p*ss my pants. S***, I am trying to humor myself, you know I am tired now."

As he flipped through a magazine, it was one left in the room, one of those celebrity gossip concoctions, he began to read it aloud, "Brittney Spears hair grew like three inches, can you believe they write this s***, and woah news flash Angelina left Brad, or Brad left her, everyone knew that was doomed from the start. And lookie here, David Hasselhoff, can't sing, German's love him, I will never ever understand that notion." As he flipped through more pages, he continued to talk to Delilah as if she was there and responsive. "Rocky 29 came out, and Sylvester is in a walker, just joking on that one, but don't you think that, that movie is redundant?"

Holding the magazine loosely with one hand, and tapping his fingers on the bed with the other, he continued to ramble ridiculous mumbo jumbo about this and that to pass the time.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah hovered on the border between consciousness and unconsciousness.

I have to get his attention. But I can't talk or open my eyes... she thought.

Mustering as much strength as she could, she tightened her left hand into a fist, letting her nails drag on the sheet in the process, making a slight sound.

I tried... right? she thought, falling back into an unconscious state.

[butterflykiss]

{{sorry was doing contest entry hehe}}

The whisper of a low scratching sound rang against the confines of the small hospital room. His eyes met the sheet, as Delilah's hand was clenched into a orb shaped ball. Nicolao, dropped the magazine as if it were on fire, "Delilah, oh yeah babe, that's it. Come on, I never doubted ya, you can do it, come back to me, us, all of us at work, and your family, and all that stuff." His fingers massaged over her balled hand, "They have a desk in the hall, I think you could get some use out of, Delilah..."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah felt the warm pressure of Nicolao's fingers on her hand.

He saw, she thought. She tried to smile and found it to be too painful, as her lips were dry.

She managed to force open her eyes ever so slightly and stared at Nicolao.

He heard my call for help... she realized. I don't know how, but it worked.

Despite the pain, she managed a tiny smile and whispered, barely audibly, "Nicolao... you came..."

[butterflykiss]

As he watched her intently, his chest was rising and falling with every pound of his heart. Anxiety rode into his temples as he watched her eyes fluttered to the smallest of slits. A small gasp escaped from his pursed lips and then the cackle of words rang in his ears, Nicolao... you came... Pressing his finger to her chapped lips, he whispered shhh. "I couldn't work, I was worried, I couldn't sit at my desk any longer. I called, but got no answers, I didn't know what to do." The concern filled his dark eyes, as he juggled to pour her a glass of water with one hand. He didn't want to let her hand go, for fear, that it was all in his head.

"Here drink, it will help," he pressed the paper cup to her lips, as he stroked her hand still as yet.

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah allowed Nicolao to hold the cup to her lips. She parted her lips, permitting the water into her mouth. She flinched in pain. She had forgotten her dry lips, and hadn't taken into account that by opening her mouth, it would split open some of the dry skin on the surface.

Delilah forced herself to open her eyes a little more so that she could get a better look at Nicolao. He looked like a wreck. I guess he's had a hard time of it too, she thought. I must have had him really worried.

[butterflykiss]

As he released the cup from the tip of her lips, he set it on the small nightstand. When she looked at him, it was as it he was plagued with leprosy, or was that concern? "Later, you must tell me why you are here. The doctor's said nothing, I am not related. I tried to tell them I was your brother, but that was a no go. They saw right through me, think it is the skintone, or the raging hair? Don't answer, save your strength, I will get the doctor, and they can check you out."

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah nodded. No sense in arguing with Nicolao.

"Thanks," she said hoarsely, squeezing his hand.

She laid back and closed her eyes, happy to be conscious and to have someone there who was concerned about her.

Where's Gavin? she thought worriedly. Is he out doing something stupid out of remorse?

[butterflykiss]

He left the room, he didn't really want to, but he knew that the doctor would want to know that she had awaken. Sprinting down the hallway, he made way to the nurses station, "Delilah Stanton, room 325, she is awake."

The nurse rushed towards the room, as another called for the doctor. As he stood outside, he wondered what the hell was going on.

{{sorry I am like a spaz. Gonna head off to lala land. Take good care DarkPhoenix!!}}

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin grabbed his car keys from his desk and ran as fast as he could down to the car park. I have to see her. She has to be ok

He slammed his foot on the accelerator as soon as he'd put the keys in and rushed down the road, wanting to get to the hopsital to check Delilah was ok. He couldn't let the girl he loved die. He just couldn't. He drove faster and faster and he thought about it, wishing he was by her side, he wanted to be holding her hand and kissing her and couldn't let her die. He wouldn't know what to do if she were to die. As he rounded the final bend and saw the hospital he took his foot off the accelerator and jumped out of the car, seeing it spin and hit a lamp post but didn't care, his mind firmly set on Delilah and whether she was alright.

"Delilah Stanton?" Gavin asked the receptionist in a hurry. Oddly he noticed it was the one he'd yelled at the previous week.

The receptionist shrugged and pointed down the hallway, "Room 325" she said and he ran off in a frenzy. Please let her be ok, please let her be ok. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a dark haired man further down the corridor talking to some nurses; Nicolao. Chosing not to think about him for now, Gavin quietly pushed open the door of room 325

"Delilah?" he said quietly, falling to the floor at her side, "sh*t are you ok babe?"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled weakly, trying to ignore the pain it caused.

"Gavin," she said softly. "I didn't think you'd be coming."

She wanted to hug him, but she didn't have enough strength to move her arms that much.

"I was worried that you had forgotten me," she whisperered.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked so sad, his blue puppy dog eyes widening unhappily

"Of course I came. I love you remember," he whispered.

He took her hand and kissed it gently, hoping Delilah could feel it

"I'm never going to forget you. Sometimes I'm a jerk and I forget what I have; but it won't happen anymore. When you get out of here I'm going to take you on vacation somewhere hot and shower you with as much love as you deserve"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah sighed and caressed Gavin's hand and face.

"I love you too," she murmured.

He's going to get angry when he sees Nicolao, she thought worriedly.

She laid back, feeling drained just from the past few minutes.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin smiled sadly, his eyes glassy with the pressing tears

"I'm sorry we had a fight before," he said to Delilah, "I can understand if you don't want to be with me."

He stood up and leant over Delilah and gave her a gentle kiss on the mouth, "I told you I was a social failure" he whispered with a small smile

What's she been saying to Nicolao. No, I want to know what he's been saying to her!

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah smiled weakly. "You're not a social failure," she said hoarsely. "And I do want to be with you."

She yawned a little. "But right now, I'm really tired. Let me sleep for a little bit. Okay?" she continued.

She squeezed at his hand as hard as she could manage (which wasn't very much at all) and asked, "Will you be here when I wake up?"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin squeezed her hand back gently and smiled

"Of course I'll be here. I won't leave your side till you're ok," he replied honestly.

He kissed Delilah's forehead and moved away as a nurse came in to check her, and he sat down on a chair in the corner of her room. He glanced outside at Nicolao in the hallway and decided to forget about him for now; he was just Delilah's friend and if he so much as laid a hand on her Gavin would send him crashing through the window before he had a chance to scream; the way Delilah had to Cecilia

[DarkPhoenix]

Several minutes later, Delilah opened her eyes again.

"Gavin," she said softly, smiling. She reached up to stroke his hair, but, still weak, her hand fell back down onto the sheet.

"I love you," she whispered.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin looked up from his seat and took Delilah's hand, his other gently stroking her hair

"I love you too hunni" he whispered, smiling softly, "you mean so much to me. I couldn't have handeled it if you had died"

[butterflykiss]

Nicolao stood outside until the doctor was finished taking her vitals, and going over her patient records. Pacing the hallways, his hand ran over his days growth. When he peered in the window, he noticed that Gavin somehow or another snuck inside the room. As he watched there subtle kisses, he knew he didn't belong here. Why did I even come here after all? It is obvious, it was obvious then, but I still linger like a the puppy dog.

With a knock to the door, he cracked the door and looked up at Gavin with pained eyes, "Will you call me when they give the word? I am happy she woke up. Take care of her...," his voice drifted off, as he slowly closed the door. He couldn't stay and watch them make out like two teenagers in the back of a movie theater. After all he had his pride.

With his posture straight, he carried himself with the utmost of dignity as he stood through the automatic doors. Hailing yet another taxi, he headed for a hotel to sleep off this terrible nightmare.

[butterflykiss]

{{hahahaa me too, no worries all for fun yes hehehehe. I am lameo without coffee. Gotta do some contest entries TTYL Nikki!!}}

[DarkPhoenix]

((I think Nicolao's pretty tasty too... teehee.))

Delilah smiled at Nicolao when he peeked in. She knew he probably didn't see it.

Gavin, you owe this man a lot, she thought. If it hadn't been for him, I might have been unconscious a lot longer.

When Nicolao closed the door, Delilah said softly, "You should be nicer to him. He stayed and kept me company when I was unconscious. If it hadn't been fo him talking to me, I might still be unconscious. I know you're jealous, but you shouldn't be-- you're my boyfriend, and no one's going to take your place."

Even though he was here before you were and stayed with me until I was conscious, she mentally added.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin nodded at Nicolao

"Sure I'll call you when we hear something," he said as Nicolao closed the door

"You should be nicer to him. He stayed and kept me company when I was unconscious. If it hadn't been fo him talking to me, I might still be unconscious. I know you're jealous, but you shouldn't be-- you're my boyfriend, and no one's going to take your place." Delilah said

"I don't hate the guy," Gavin replied honestly, "and I was there when you were unconscious too you know. I'm just a little jealous as I've seen the way you both look at each other; it's the same as how you feel about Cecilia. He obviously wants to get into your pants!"

I don't know what to believe anymore. I didn't think you'd lie to me, he thought in his head, confused about everything


[[ I'm in game taking pics of a sexier Gavin lmao. he looks like a baby in his pic lol ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah frowned. "How we look at each other?" she repeated. "Sweetie, I don't look at Nicolao in any special way, and if he's interested in me, I can't do anything about it. Besides, isn't Cecilia interested in you? You haven't been able to deter her."

She was unwell, but she was not going to let that comment pass by.

[Anne_SC]

"Sh*t! Her heart is going to give up, come on, stay with us."
-"We can't save her! Just give up Ryan!"
"No, I can't"

*/\/\/\/\/\______________*

"NO! F*CK! Give me the pedals!"
-"You can't do that it won't work!"
"Shut up and let me do my work ok!? Give me .?. volt!"

*BeeeeEEEeeeep KABLAM*

*__________/\/\/\_________*

"Again please!"

*BeeeeEEEeeeep KABLAM*

*__________/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\*

"Thank god"
-"You're crazy Ryan..."
"I know, but that's what keeps my patients alive."
-"Let's bring her to a room"
"Yeah, ok."


[LOL!]

[stylequeen_SC]

[[ lmao :D that's good writing! ]]

Gavin pulled his chair closer to Delilah's bed and took her hand

"But I want you to know that you are so much more special to me than Cecilia. I don't look at her in any special way. I love you," he said softly

He paused and smiled at Delilah, hoping she was telling the truth about Nicolao. He wasn't the sort of boyfriend who controlled everything she did, and he wanted her to have friends; he just wasn't too sure about ones that liked her

"Nicolao likes you. Cecilia likes me. Maybe those two should get together!"

[DarkPhoenix]

Delilah shook her head. "I don't think Cecilia is Nicolao's type. Too high-maintenance. And I don't think Cecilia goes for the type of guy who... well... looks unkempt, like he does now."

She smiled weakly and added, "The whole Nicolao thing happened way before I even met you. If I had met you first, it wouldn't have happened, you know."

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia opened her eyes, the sunlight hurted them so she closed them again. She breathed out and opened them fully. She saw a table, a bed and a window. This couldn't be anything but a hospital. She tried to move, but it hurted so she didn't. She started remembering stuff from the accident. But only little parts, like the crash into the railing and the time she was on the island.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin squeezed her hand gently, but looked a little concerned

"What...what Nicolao thing? What happened?" he asked her


[[ I'm drooling over Gavin pics here lol. I'll post them soon :D ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

"The whole attraction thing. All the stuff I already told you," Delilah replied. "Like I said, nothing physical happened."

She squeezed his hand a little. "Honest, Gavin."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. "My glasses-- where are they?" she asked. "What did they do with them?"

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin smiled and gently pressed his lips against Delilah fingers slowly

"I haven't seen your glasses," he said, standing up and checking her nightstand

"You want me to go ask someone?" he asked her, smiling warmly

Attraction? I trust you Delilah, don't make me regret it

[DarkPhoenix]

Oh God... don't let them be lost, Delilah thought. She had those glasses for a reason.

She'd had several nice rings with genuine gemstones in them when she was younger. When she was teenager, she had taken an old pair of glasses, hollowed out various sections of the thick frames, removed the stones from the rings, and put them in the frames, and then replaced the missing sections of the glasses.

Back then, she'd planned on running away from home, from the monotony. Even after growing up, she had kept the glasses, just in case of hard times. After all, who would bother to break apart a pair of glasses to see if anything was inside?

"Gavin," she finally said, breaking her silence, "those glasses are a lot more imporant than you would think. I need them."

Nicolao, sat in the hotel room, the room was not the Hilton, but this b&b was acceptable. Just like he told Delilah he slept in worse, much worse, but in life, you do what you must to survive.

Clutching the pillow he went to sleep in a cold sweat tossing and turning, the moments of his past intertwining with the present in a blur. Gavin, Delilah, and himself where in the small two bedroom thicket of a home. Nine long hours without a sip of whiskey in his veins, but he still looked haggardly the tendrils of hair matted on his face. As he was about to speak there was a loud banging, and he jolted from the bed hand held to the gun hidden in the waistband of his khakis.

Housekeeping, 'ello, housekeeping, we are to be cleaning your room.

"F***in A, he released the gun, and went to the in room sink washing the perspiration from his olive skin. "Wait, what time is it?" he asked himself as he looked at his watch, it was 10:07am and he was late to work. What did he care, no one was there anyway, but he let the housekeeper in as he showered, shaved, brushed his teeth, and combed through his long hair.

For a brief moment he thought about cutting it, but after that brief moment of insanity, he tossed the things in his overnight bag, and walked to work.

{{weeee pics of Gavin I wanna see, I wanna see!! :mag: :yippee: :dsausage: }}

"Relax Delilah," Gavin said softly, stroking her hair, "I'll buy you some new ones."

He paused and saw the horrified look on her face,

"Ok I'll go and ask the nurses."

He kissed Delilah's forehead and left the room, walking a few feet to the nurses station

"Hi, patient in Room 325, Delilah Stanton. She was wearing red glasses when she came in, do you know where they are?" he said politely.

The nurse shook her head and mumbled something about them being lost on the way here. Sh*t[/b] Gavin thought, [i]now what do I do! He thanked the nurse and walked back to Delilah's room

"They don't know what happened to them," he said as soon as he walked in and took her hand, "why? I'll replace them for you if you want."


[[ they'll be along soon :D :elephant: ]]

[DarkPhoenix]

"You don't understand, they can't be replaced," Delilah cried out.

She explained to Gavin about why the glasses were so imporant. "Now do you understand?" she wailed. "That's a few hundred dollars hidden in there!"

She grabbed his hand tightly. "I need those glasses back. Maybe one of the EMTs swiped them?"

Gavin nodded as Delilah spoke. He put his hand protectively over hers and kissed her gently

"I'll go find them." he said with a smile, "I promise you I'll find them." he paused and stroked her forehead to calm her down, "you're still unwell babe. Just relax. I'll find them."

Gavin blew her a kiss gently and walked over to the door

"Don't go anywhere" he said as he closed the door

Cecilia sighed of relief, she didn't die. But why did she feel like she did? Maybe it was the fact that she couldn't move, or maybe it was her broken heart.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin walked back up the staircase, massaging his fist where he'd smacked the EMT but smiled as he felt Delilah's glasses in his pocket. Stupid guy had refused to give them back. As he walked back down the hallway a name on one of the doors made him jump

Cecilia Queen

"No way!" he said in shock. He knocked twice in quick succession on the door and peered his head round, "hello?" he said in shock

[Anne_SC]

Cecilia looked up.
"Gavin" she said softly, smiling. "They said you saved me"
She turned a little. "Thank you so much" she said as her eyes got filled with tears.

[stylequeen_SC]

Gavin turned red and nodded

"I just figured out where you were," he replied quietly

He saw her eyes filling with tears and he walked into the room properly,

"What's wrong? Do they know when you'll be out? Delilah's in here too actually, she passed out in the office."
