Be You

(It keeps it from getting so clogged! Look at VG Rumble, for instance! But whatever; we're all having fun, right?)

Audra

I enjoyed being so close to him, feeling his breath against my hair, his hands on my waist, our bodies almost pressed together. Just swaying with him was all I felt like doing now; the music set the pace, and I followed.

Of course, all good things had to end.

Fast songs picked back up, and we reluctantly separated to get back into the heart of things, moving with such speed and precision; I knew we would both be exhausted by the end of the dance.

"You know we're going to be tired, right?" I half shouted over the booming bass.

"Yeah?"

"You could always crash at my place; it's closer!"

Wait. What had I just said? Better, what was I thinking?

"Sounds good," Kai said. "I am getting pretty tired."

Together they waded through the sea of students on their way out of the gym. Once outside, Audra said, "Uh, Kai. About asking you to crash at my place, I don't want you to get the wrong idea."

Kai laughed and said, "I know what you mean, Audra. Don't worry, I won't pressure you into doing something you might regret."

(Ugh, I would post, but I want to give "Alice" and "Billy" a chance to catch up to "Audra" and "Kai!")

(I'm back from holidays, should be able to post more often now)

I waited for the DJ to do his dedication, catching Alice's eye from across the floor and smiling a little as she blushed. I made my way back to her.

"More your style?"

She was already jumping, and flashed me a wide grin, "You bet!"

Now what Bill? Sure, this is your kind of music, and clearly her kind as well, but it's hardly close-dancing material, let alone the kind of song you'd pick to kiss a girl. I sighed and told my other side to just shut up for once. You said live in the moment - I'm trying, OK? Besides, she's not exactly the average girl.

She caught the look on my face and looked a little concerned, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing," I replied, shaking my head, "Having fun?"

"What kind of question is that?"

I nodded a little, "Good point..." Well, here goes nothing. I took a deep breath, looked down at her and met her eyes, and kissed her.

(Good point.)

I was about ready to leave. Nobody wanted to dance with me.

Billy caught my eye. He was blushing, though he tried to hide it. I waved and made my way towards the door. "Ah, Jorin, don't go yet!" Billy called.

(BTW, my school never has social events like dances. Sorry.)

Alice

My heart skipped a beat, my first kiss! My insides were throwing a fiesta and I could barely breathe. How I noticed that I had no idea, I was simply focused on that kiss, and how dizzy it made me feel.

When we parted I kept my hands on his arms, and took a couple deep breaths to stop the dizziness, "wow," I breathed. "You beat me to the punch."

"Hm..?"

"I was going to do that later."

Billy

I blushed a little, still dizzy myself, "Wow, really?"

"Yup."

Good work Bill, never thought you had it in you! One final thing though: now what?

I froze. That was a very valid point. Then I saw Jorin waving to me, "Ah, Jorin, don't go yet!" I yelled.

Alice gave me an odd look. I looked from her to Jorin, "Umm, listen, I hate to ruin the mood and all, but there's another new guy over there who seems to need some help, can I just go for a sec?"

(I think we've given them a chance to catch up. I wanna see what happens next with Kai and Audra!)

(Me too. This is fun!)

Audra

I unlocked the door to my room and stepped in, turning on the lights. Kai followed in behind me, looking around.

I wasn't your typical girl, obviously. The room was divided into three sections by standing screens, all with oriental designs on them. Behind the screen to my left was where I slept; you could make out the outline of my bed. To the right, much more visible, was my excersise arena. I had a punching bag hanging in the center, weights and mats scattered around it. And before us, in the center, was my reading, living, and lounging area. Of course, through a door also to my left, was the bathroom.

"It's a bit cluttered, but...it's me!" I shrugged. It did look clean, but I was a bit messy. Everything was set loosely and without order.

"It's fine," Kai answered.

I waited for his response.

(This is all I can think of right now.)

"I like it," Kai said. "The screens add a bit of a Japanese feel to it."

"Thanks," Audra said. "There's only one bed, so I guess you can sleep on the couch."

"That's fine," Kai said.

Audra went into her sleeping area to find some extra sheets and pillows.

(So, are they... like... gonna do it?)

(No idea; if you want them to, it's fine with me.)

Audra

"I was hoping for that effect," I kept talking as I moved around the room. I had spare sheets, blankets, and pillows in my armwoire (sp?) and I wanted him to be as comfortable here as possible.



*All I've got at the moment...*

(Well, it might make the story a little more interesting. But, I've got no idea how to get it started, so I'll rely on you to do it for me. After that I'll be able to post something.)

(Well, romance novels ARE good in some ways...with all their little scenes...*scoff*. Okay, lemme see...)

Audra

There were a few quiet moments in which I arranged everything in a suitable, homely-as-possible manner: sheets tucked in around the cushions, blanket spread the whole length of the couch, pillow resting against the arm.

And I could feel his eyes on me, watching my every move. I could feel the love emanating from him, heating up the atmosphere. It was awkward at first, but then...deep down...

I desired him, too.

I turned towards him as his fingers tentatively closed around mine, and I fell prey to those eyes again. Those deep, dark eyes...

I knew I'd lost; I gave in and let my feelings take over as his mouth carefully settled against mine.

"I love you," I whispered between those deep, warm kisses.

(How's that for starters?)

(Perfect.)

Kai pulled away from the kiss at that moment. His eyes were filled with surprise. "What's the matter?" Audra asked, worried.

"You... love me?"

"Yes."

Kai closed his eyes and sighed. "Audra, you have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear those words directed at me. I've been alone for such a long time. It's like a dream come true." He kissed her again. "I love you, too."

They lost themselves in the flurry of kisses, Kai didn't even remember how they got onto the couch. After a few minutes of the love-fest Audra started to unbutton Kai's shirt.

Kai gently took her hand, causing her to stop. He looked into her eyes and said, "Audra, are you sure this is what you want?"

(My posts always seem lacking in some way. I'm going to have to work more on descriptions.)
