Slipping the note away into his coat with a 'thank you' as he opened the door, he noticed Catherine seemed eager to get a move on. So much so that he was basically dragged down the stairs after her, but she had his hand in hers and that's all that mattered to him, enough of a reason to hastily rush after her. Once they burst through the doors, Riley slowed immediately to a stop, he wasn't sure what he had expected snow to feel like.. but it was very strange.. cold, but also soft, crunching under his footsteps.
Staring down at her as the snow fell all around them, covering the ground and even their shoulders and the top of their heads, it was so pretty.. She was smiling up at him, and all he could do was smile back down at her, even if his hands where eager to reach up and catch some of the falling snow.
'You can always eat around mine.' An interested look hit his eyes as his smile became warmer, his hands reached for her and gently pulled her body towards him, his lips leaning down to kiss her.
"That would be nice." Riley didn't have gloves, so when they started walking, his left hand was wrapped about her back, reaching into her pocket and holding her hand in there. His right hand was in his right pocket, though it would reach out in front of them to catch some of the falling snow. Sometimes if there was a pile of snow in front of them, his foot would playfully kick it aside, but more often his lips would press against the side of Catherine's forehead before focusing on the snow once more.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Riley's appartment
She found it nice to see him anything other than serious, watching as he kicked out at the snow with his booted feet. His hand streatching out towards the snow as if it was a novel thing for him. She could remember the snow being over the top of her wellies some days when she'd been living in the lake district, her dad used to take her out into their wild jungle of a garden to build a snow man. Her mum would give her a carrot for the nose, pebbles for a mouth and eyes and a row of buttons and she'd use her dad's scarf to wrap around it's neck.
His hand was holding hers, his arm wrapped comfortably around her waist, every now and then turning his head to press his lips against her forehead. She changed the direction they walked in several times, the whole world seemed to still at the moment broken only by the movement of the snow flakes and their moving forms.
A little while later they came to the club, the doors were shut, though there was loud music coming from inside, They must have shut them against the snow, she pulled away from Riley slightly as she hunted about in the bottom of her bag for her keys, she pulled them out and theng lanced over towards the club.
'Don't worry theres quite good sound proofing.' She smiled and took hold of his hand again, guiding him around to the side of the building and up the steps to the front door. She slipped the keys into the lock of the door and turned, pushing the door inwards and stepping inside. The room was about the same size as Riley's lounge, the kitchen seperated froom it by a wall, though there was a large square hole in it so you could see the people working in the kitchen upon the other side. The room seemed a lot smaller than it was because there was so much crammed into it, a large, flat screen television in the corner, there was a stand next to it for DVD's but they'd aquired more than would fit into it so they were stacked up ontop of it and upon the other side of the television.
The same thing seemed to have happened to the CD's belonging to the steryo. It wasn't dirty, just nicely messy, a complete contrast to the flat Riley lived in. The walls were warmer colours as well than his and there were large comfey arm chairs and a sofa, all coloured in a happy orange shade. There didn't seem to be anyone else in.
There was a meow and a rather fluffy long haired silver grey tabby made his way out from behind the wall to the kitchen, padding over to her and rubbing it's body over her legs. Catherine bent down and picked up the cat, it purred slightly and rubbed it's chin along the buttom of her jaw, affectionally scent marking her.
'Hi Tabby.' She said, stepping into the kitchen and repositing the cat on the floor, it meowed pitifully, she opened a door and took out a box of cat food, pouring some into the bowl, she over shot rather and managed to pour quite a bit onto the floor but Tabby didn't seem to mind. Catherine shuffled them into some sort of minni mountain next to her bowl and stood up.
'Ummm he's not allowed outside, Nina think someone would steal him. I think she got him from a professional breeder or something.' She looked around her, stepping back out into the lounge. 'So this is it, this is where I live.' She lifted her hands slightly as she spoke, smiling rather akwardly
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Riley's appartment
When they arrived at the club, he felt odd, knowing she had left his apartment, which he wasn't fond of due to the traffic noise in the distance, but this was much louder and right beneath her, how dos she cope? Watching as she steppaway to search for her keys, Riley's eyes wondred back to the club, then skywards to study the snow falling down on them.
'Don't worry theres quite good sound proofing.' As her slim delicate fingers reached for his hand once more, Riley's attention shifted from the falling snow and instantly focused on Catherine as he smiled back at her. He was extremely anxious as she fiddled to open the door, he wanted to know what kind of apartment she was living in. His eyes wondered about the clutter, more focused on the actual items, as usual over looking the mess of others.. Give him an hour alone with nothing to do and everything might end up alphebetized by the time anyone returned. He stared over towards the TV, then at all the CDs, so many CDs.. he smiled when he saw they also had a stereo.. at least he had something they had.
The strong white walls of his apartment really loked bare compared to the colours of this apartment, but since he wasn't staying here, Catherine had said she wanted to go back to Xavier's, he wouldn't bother getting anything else. He rubbed his arms for a moment, the drug may reduce the effect of the cold, and also numb his senses to it, but his hands where cold from grabbing at the snow without gloves. He had managed to dust all of the snow from his hair and clothes as he had waited for Catherine to open the door. His eyes lingered on the male cat in her arms as he affectionatly seemed to stroke against her jaw.. Riley hasn't seen a cat close up before, maybe sitting on the footpath or a fence, crossing the road or something, but never close up.
'Hi Tabby.' He watched very intently as she walked off to feed the silver grey feline, his eyes only wondering off once more as Catherine disappeared into the kitchen. No one else seemed to be here, how do people gather so many things? He was very surprised that people could manage to to find all these things.. but not everyone was probably as nervous in shopping centers as Riley was..
'Ummm she's not allowed outside, Nina think someone would steal him. I think she got him from a professional breeder or something.' They breed them? Well.. that was a stupid thought, of course they had to be bred in order to sell them.
'So this is it, this is where I live.' It did feel very lived in, like Forrest, but even he didn't have as much things, though he could clutter a room very easily either way. His eyes had dropped to her waist for a moment, he wanted to hold her, it didn't seem fair.. she held that cat..
"It's amazing, you have so many things.. and a TV." He added with a rather amused grin, she had made it sound as if a TV was an all important thing to have.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Riley's appartment"It's amazing, you have so many things.. and a TV." She grinned slightly and looked over at him away from the room which she was survaying, she hoped he didn't think it was too messy. The three of them usually did manage to keep ontop of things like the dishes and Nina had only dusted last week so the room wasn't that bad. They didn't have pictures on the walls, but there had been posters put up, just scenery and things like that, nothing out of the ordianary. She took hold of his hand, guiding him towards a white door where someone had written the word cat upon a piece of paper and stuck it to the front of the door, below that was a smaller piece of paper upon which were the words cat is out faint letters could be seen through the paper and it could be persumed that the other side said cat is in
She opened the door and reached over to flick the light switch on, revealing a quite small room. The first that struck you when you entered the room was the presence of quite a lot of werid objects hanging from the ceeling or in a couple of cases stuck to the wall using blue tack. They were made of material, boasting featers and a web like design using threads .... dream catchers. Designed to catch bad dreams before they reached you, Nina had shown her one in a shop a couple of months ago and told her it's purpose. Cat had gone back and bought it the next day and she seemed to be aquiring a lot more, she'd been having bad dreams again. Maybe she thought if she bought enough of them they'd make her dreams go away, but she'd hung them near the door and window and around her bed. She didn't think about the fact that it might look a little werid.
It had a three quater bed with light blue covers that was pushed against the far wall, away from the window. The rather worn carpet was blue and it was obvious she'd not done a very good job in painting the room since under the light blue paint the pattern of the old wall paper could be seen. In an effort to hide the biggest streatches of open wall she'd put up a couple of posters, a wolf and a horse. Above the bed were several photos, all stuck in a line, a couple at the beach with her friends, one small one her and Bekki had got done in a booth, a rather faded one at the end of the line. A smiling couple kneeling down to hug their daughter, it didn't look much like Cat, the girl in the photo had large solom eyes and looked as if she wouldn't be out of place in a church quior. Her then lighter golden hair falling around the four year olds face, the stuffed dog she always used to take everywhere held in her hands. The dog lay upon one of her pillows.
In the corner of her room was a large wardrobe and next to that a dresser upon which she'd got her TV and small steryo, her CD's that wern't in the other room were piled next to the steryo. There was lots more clutter, her new cat boots lying near the door, next to a pair of nike trains she'd bought last month.
'And this is my room.' she looked back out of the door behind her. 'And Nina and Brad's rooms are just off down the corridor along with the bathroom..'
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Riley's appartment
Allowing his eyes the chance to explore the masses of dreamcatches, his mother had gotten him one once after their barn had caught fire, one of the horses where killed and Riley and Ben where inside the barn when the heat had dried the hay, a stronger beam of light from a window catching the dry hay on fire. Needless to say Riley being twelve and seeing a chared remains of his first horse was the result of many nightmares for the following few months. He still had it, even if he didn't remember owning one, it was small, red and black, nailed to the wall just above his head when he slept.
He smiled as he looked over at all the many different ones she had.. Catherine must have a lot of nightmare, his smile faded slightly at the thought. His eyes dropped down to Catherine, wondering what she having nightmares about, but his eyes moved over to linger on her collection of photo's.. She had so many, especially since all he had where two, one of his parents and he found one of him and that black dog that Cat had mentioned, he looked really young in it..
As he stared at the horse, he remember the statue, he forgot to get it, he should have remembered to take it for her, but he was groggy from the little rest he got and then eager to go out into the snow. He moved a little closer to let his eyes explore the collection of photo's, admiring the one of her family with a passing glance before turning to look at her, his eyes shifting over to her CDs. She had so much more then he did, her room alone seemed to have more items then his whole apartment..
'And this is my room.' His eyes returned to her, smiling rather keenly, he's never been invited into a girls room before... sure sometimes he'd go into their rooms back at the institute, but that was reasons, to ask them sometimes, talk with them.. now it was just for her to show him her things, he felt rather pleased at that
'And Nina and Brad's rooms are just off down the corridor along with the bathroom..' His eyes turned down the hall, but then snuck a look over towards her bed, before studying the distance down the hall from her room once more. When did they get home, and how does she cope with two room mates, normally one was too much.. mainly he'd get groaned at by others for being too tidy.
"You have so many things." He seemed impressed by his tone, he grinned and then stepped towards her, he didn't need so many things though, she knew he didn't need anything else then her, he had told her, his lips touched hers lightly before pulling away.
"Did you want help with the food?" He wasn't sure if she was hungry or not, he hadn't seen her eat, and he was starving, his fingers laced between her own as he waited for her reply, rather keen to hold her once more.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Riley's appartment"You have so many things." She looked around her and then back at Riley again smiling slightly as she tilted her head upwards so she could look at him better. She liked having things, they made her feel more secure, she liked spending money on herself too, it felt nice after so long of not being able to.
'I guess buying them make me happy.' She said after a pause where her eyes looked back around the room glancing off all the things that were so familiar to her, thinking of how strange they must seem to him. Her eyes moved back to the television. 'I'm getting a DVD player soon too.' She smiled again. She'd already picked put the one she wanted, all she needed to do was the work another week and she'd be able to afford it. She sounded really excited about the whole idea.
"Did you want help with the food?" She paused and looked out of the doorway, taking his hand in hers as she pulled him through into the main living area and then into the kitchen. She made sure to step over Tabby and then pulled the fridge door open.
'What did you want to eat?' There fridge was rather fully but most or it was junk food or cans of soda, it didn't seem to phase her, she twisted her body to open a couple of cupbaords to expose their contents. 'you can have anything you want Riley.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Riley's appartment'I guess buying them make me happy.' It was nice to be able to buy things for his school dorm room back at the acadamy, but all he got was a radio and clothes, he never got into spending too much.
'I'm getting a DVD player soon too.' DVD player? He fidgeted a bit, he wsn't sure what that was, hadn't Forrest said something about getting one to replace his video player? Riley really didn't pay a whole lot of attention towards many electrical applinces other then a stero and kitchen/laundry things. But she sounded excited about it so he smiled, if he couldn't get her things at least she could get herself things.. though he'd rather her allowed him to get all her things.. he has so much money and no one to share it with.
Her hand took his and she tugged him along down the hall into the kitchen, watching as she opened the fridge, he was amazed how they managed to obtain so much food.. He was never able to linger in the shops too long before retreating from the variety of choices that was slightly overwhelming for him.
'What did you want to eat?' His eyes scanned over the choices, it wasn't fair, normally at cafes or such he could just point and they'd hand it to him, he wasn't good with deciding things, he just wasn't used to it. Riley's eyes had dropped down Catherine's back as she moved to open the cupboards, her body was different now, it was more then just a body.. it was a body he was allowed to be a part of.. it was the most incredible thing he'll see and touch. Nothing could make him feel the things he could feel when she was making love to him..
'you can have anything you want Riley.' His eyes glanced up, taking a step towards her, his fingers touching her hips, gliding around to her front as he lowered his head down by hers, his lips touching her cheek lightly before moving to her neck. He grinned rather cheekily as his lips moved back to her cheek, his whisper very quiet.
"I can have anything I want hmm?" His grin grew brighter as he looked up, his arms remaining around her, keeping her closely against him, his eyes wondering over the options as his lips pressed against the back of her head.
"I'm not sure, I don't know what most of this stuff is.." He glanced back down at her, one his hands moving from her stomach to stroke over the back of her head, tidying any strands of hair he's put out of place. His lips pressing down against her soft hair once more as his hand slipped back to holding her.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Riley's appartment"I can have anything I want hmm?" She smiled as his hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her back against him, one of his hands running though her hair, hips lips touching her, neck, shoulder and finally her cheek. She made an afirmative noise in the back of her throat and her smile grew slightly larger, he could have anything he wanted, even if that did happen to be her ....
"I'm not sure, I don't know what most of this stuff is.." Cat pulled open the freezer draw of the fridge and looked inside, her eyes peering inside at all the food within.
'Errrrr I don't know, how about a microwave meal, they only take a few minutes to do.' She looked at the boxes in the freezer then seemed to add more to her list hastily incase he didn't like that idea. 'Or we could make sandwitches and maybe call for a pizza or something.' She tried to twist her body so she could see him properly. She didn't really care what she ate, as long as he was happy with it.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Cat's appartment"Call for a pizza?" You can call for them? But he rubbed his hands rather shyly through his hair as he thought back to when Angela had mentioned something about ordering food and people bringing it to you, he didn't believe that people would drive around town just to give you a meal.
"The microwave food sounds interesting." He's never hard anything like that before, but she had said it was quick right? That made it even more appealing, he waited keenly as he watched her prepare the meal, it wasn't something he was used to.. just placing the food into the microwave and choosing the amount of time they needed to be heated. He was amazed how simple, yet convenient and fast it was, but at the same time, he had the feeling it wasn't as healthy as the freshly made and cooked food, but he wasn't ever fussy on what he ate.. It was pointless fussing over your diet when no matter what you eat or do the drug in your system attacks all the unhealthy things and tones the body and keeps it fit and healthy.
"Catherine, where can I buy a camera?" He'd love to get a photo of all this snow, and of everything, he wanted pictures of his life from now on, he wanted to be able to share his life with others and showing them pictures would help them understand.. would help them see their captured moments.. And he did want a photo of Catherine didn't he? So long ago.. he had been so upset he had no pictures of her.. that's probably why he started painting her.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Cat's appartment"Catherine, where can I buy a camera?" She glanced across at him and the back down at the microwave, she let his coat slip from her shoulders, moving back into the lounge area and putting it carefully down over one of the sofa arms. The mircowave made a beeping noise and she turried back into the kitchen to pull the white boxes out, burning her finger slightly in the process.
'Errrr I guess any electronics store would have them, or a department store.' She emptied the conents of the white packets onto the plates, microwave food didn't look as apetising as home cooked foor either, nor did it taste as nice but it had been ages since she'd had a cooked meal, not since she'd left Xaviers and even then she'd only had one or two.
'You could even try a cataloge.' She rummaged around in a couple of draws. 'You could ask Nina if she has one, or I think you can order them over the net.' She pulled out some cutlery from a draw and handed it to him.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
A 'Catalog' wasn't exactly something he knew much about at all, and he was a little uneasy at the idea of talking with her friends, what if they asked him something and he didn't understand what they where on about? But the thought of buying somethign over the net interested him, he'd give that a try, it couldn't be too hard, he did have a lap top and was with internet connection. By the time they had began to eat, Riley picked at the food curiously with his fork for a moment before bravely consuming the contenents of the plate.
His bright eyes peered up at Catherine once he had finished eating, watching her take her last few bites of her food, scooping up her plate once she was done and tidying up their mess quickly before returning to her. Knelling down in front of her, Riley's eyes looking up rather happily at her, his smile seeming to be having a difficult time leaving his lips recently. His palms reached for her cheeks, she was so perfect, he loved her so much, he just wanted to show her how much he loved her all the time and he could barely think of anything else.
His hands glided down her body very lightly, the tips of his fingers finding their way under her top so they could feel the silky smooth skin of her back. He inched his body right up against the couch, her knees on either side of him as he leaned forward and gave her a light kiss before smiling and pulling away. His hands seemed to pull her body along with his lips however, holding her against him as he stood up with her still in his arms.
"How long may I stay with you?" By the time he asked his question, he had removed her shoes and laid her on her bed, promptly laying snuggly beside her, his fingers running through her hair. It felt strange knowing there where others who lived in here, even if they weren't there now, Catherine had made him so excited last time they made love that it wasn't exactly quiet, and he didn't really want others to hear their love making. But he didn't even know if she wanted that, he was a guy, sometimes his mind focused solely on one things without him realizing it.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Cat's appartment
She stirred the food around her plate rather thoughtfully before she started to eat, her eyes flicking over to his rather a lot while they were eating. It was still hard to believe that he was here, that if she reached out for him she'd be able to feel his skin under her fingers. Her eyes still watched him as he picked up her plate and carried it though into the kitchen, returning to her and kneeling down in front of her.
Her dark eyes looked out at him, she could feel his hands slipping under the soft whitness of her new top, caressing her back. His lips dropped to press against hers, then he stood up, pulling her up into his arms as he went. She sometimes found his strength a bit intimidating, the way he could lift her up so effortlessley and carry her around without blinking an eyelid.
"How long may I stay with you?"He moved quickly into her room, shutting the door behind him, he removed her shoes before laying her down upon her bed. Riley's body quickly found it's way next to hers, streatching beside her, his arms cuddling her to him, one of his hands running though her hair. She was suprised how quickly he'd completed all that, blushing slightly at the fact he seemed quite content to stay here with her.
She suddenly thought about him going back to that empty lifeless appartment and his huge bed, one of her arms snaked around his waist as she pulled him close to kiss him for a moment. She'd rather, much rather he stayed here with her, she felt much more comfortable in her own appartment where everything was familiar and kind.
'You can go or stay as long as you want.' She smiled up at him then wriggled out of his arms, crossing to turn out the light, the room was plunged into darkness for a moment. She fumbled her way back to the bed her arms reaching out to find him. Slowly her eyes adjusting to the now poor light in the room, she could make out some of the features in his face and the outline of his body. 'But I'd really like it if you stayed the night.' She smiled again though it was rather hard to see in the darkness of the room.
Her own body shifted position so she was kneeling over him once again and it was the turn of her own hands to sneek under his jumper. She shivered slightly at the touch, she hoped Nina and Brad would stay out late, at least till she'd finnished with him. She gave a wicked sort of little grin as her fingers inched their way slightly more under his top. Her sweet lips descended to rest upon his own, brushing against his skin before she pulled away. Her bright eyes looking down into his.
One of her hands reached over the bed clothes to close around the remote for her television, sitting back up on him, but her attention was focused over her shoulder, her body twisted slightly so she could look at the black screen.
She pressed a button and there was a faint humm as the TV flickered into life. Nina and Brad had sky so she had plenty of channels to flick through. She selected the movie channel and then a movie that was just about to start, a moment later the ending creadits of the last film credits rolled up onto the screen.
'Now I'm going to convert you to television.' She looked back to him and smiled wickedly, reaching her hands down to close around his shoulders, pulling him so he was sitting upright facing the screen. It meant that she was sitting on his lap her face smiling across at him.
She still couldn't believe there were still people who didn't own a television. He'd been missing out on something that had such a large focus point for her for most of her life. Even when she was small her mother would pop her in front of the television while she cleaned the house. Cat seemed to be able to sit there for hours watching TV and never seemed to grow tired of it .... rather like some people and the internet have been known to be.
~**~ Looks innocent, doesn't look at anyone in particular .... Angie!!! Angie!!! Angie!!! ~**~
It was just hard to believe that Riley hadn't watched television before, she just had difficulties comprehending how anyone could manage that. TV's were an every day part of life, it was almost as if he was a dsyfunctional member of society. But she could teach him to like television couldn't she? And he could teach her about Riley things, there must be stuff he liked doing that she'd never done before.
Her hands moved to his cheeks and her lips to brush lightly against his. Her hands moved lower, gliding down his body and taking hold of his top, her fingers stroking over his skin as she pulled the top upwards, exposing his bare skin as she went. She'd been without him for so long she could be excused for wanting to touch him and be with him so much now.
'I missed you so much.' She said, looking at his face, reflected a pale colour in the light from only the TV. Her hands pulled the top from his body, her lips finding his, her kisses slow and caring at first. However as the simple gesture of affection began to send tendrils of desire through her her hands lifted to press against his chest, slowly gliding upwards to wrap around the back of his neck. She pulled him rather more passionatley towards her. 'Every night without you was lonlier than the last.' Her lips broke part from his for a moment, her forehead pressed against his as she spoke. Her dark eyes staring into his. She wanted him just to pin her down to the bed and make love to her. She'd forgotten about the television as the opening credits began to roll across the screen. Her hands lifted slightly more to run her fingers through his hair, closing her fingers about the back of his head and tugging his lips firmer against hers.
The passion in her kisses began to die somewhat, though her hands remained around and slightly upset as she shifted her body a little closer to him.
'Riley ... I'm sorry.' Her lips pressed agaisnt his rather desperatley for a moment. 'I've made so many mistakes already an I don't wanna make anymore ... I didn't meant to yell at you in the dying star or to run off.' He opened his mouth slightly as if he was about to speak but she moved on hand so her fingers were pressing against his lips. 'I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I always end up running away from things in one way or another, but when Cody said you were drunk I thought that was the only reason you'd kissed me and that come the morning you'd just want to take it back again.' Her fingers moved back from his lips to around his neck. 'But I promise I'll be better from now on, I'll try, I really will.... and I know the first time we were together I kind of forced you into being with me even though you didn't really want to do that.' Her eyes dropped submissevley away from his and her hands withdrew from around his neck, resting instead on her hips. 'Then I know I did it again when we were back in you apartment just then ... but I ...' Didn't it make her as bad as any man, she'd forced him into being with her, she kind of demanded that he made love with her. Did that make her as bad as Joan for what she'd done, maybe he'd thought he needed to do that to keep her by his side. Joan had raped Spike.. had she done the same to Riley? 'I just needed to feel your touch so desperatley.' She wasn't looking at him anymore, she was doing it again wasn't she? She was sitting here like this on him, all he'd done was to cuddle her and she'd managed to somehow get him into the positon where she was sitting on him only a scant few moment later. Maybe he didn't even want this? She knew he thought about life differently to her, as far as she was concerned it was alright to be with loads of men as long as you felt for them whereas she still wasn't exactly sure what he thought. It wasn't that she felt that she wanted to be with anyone other than him now, but the principle was still there.
'I'll be better from now on I promise, we don't have to be together untill you feel ready Riley.' There was a moments pause as hugged him close for a moment, savouring the feel of having him agaisnt her. She slipped from him, moving to sit with her legs hanging off the end of the bed, her eyes looking at the rather blurry screen. Her hair obscured her now rather tearful eyes from his view, she should have let him decide when he wanted to be with her, she shouldn't have pressured him into being with her when they were in that dingy place. She wished it had been their first time back at his place just now, she swallowed rather hard.
'We can just watch the TV.' The idea that he might just be being with her because it was what she wanted and not what he wanted was really upsetting. But then when they'd been together in the appartment just a an hour or so ago he'd said she was amazing hadn't he.

------
It seemed to take a moment for her to think over his question on how long he can stay but when she answered she seemed so sure of herself, he smiled as she talked and let his hand rest on her hip. Her hand had pulled him towards her and he had the taste of her lips upon his once more. It didn't matter they had only recently made love, he still missed her and he never wanted to let her go again.
'You can go or stay as long as you want.' As soon as he thought over how he never wanted to let her go, it seemed she was slipping from his arms and his smile faded as he watched to see what she was doing. He loved her so much that it hurt now whenever she left his touch, even if she was still in the same room, he never thought he could miss something so much. Everything went dark as she flicked off the light, his ears straining to catch every sound she made as she moved back towards him. His hands moved to meet hers as they reached out and touched him, he grinned slightly as she returned to him, his eyes trying to see her face as clearly as possible in the darkness of her room.
'But I'd really like it if you stayed the night.' When she shifted about so now she was sitting on top of him, it wasn't something he was going to complain about either, instead offering her a grin before his eyes had snapped closed as her fingers crept beneath his top. The simple touch was quickly exciting him, she hasn't acted like this, she has never jumped onto him like she was doing now. It was really exciting, he hadn't done anything too serious to attract this kind of attention and yet she seems as eager to be with him and he often felt towards her, and that was a comfort to know. Catherine's fingers moved further under his top and then her lips where done on his, he liked this attention, he missed her touch so much and now she was acting like this and his body was enjoying the sensations that run through him at every stroke of her fingers over his skin or the sensational touch of her lips against his own. When she pulled away, his head lifted slightly to allow their lips to remain connected for just that little bit longer before she had pulled away out of his reach.
The small wave of sensations that eagerly went through him as Catherine sat up caused his eyes to quickly close, although part of him wanted to hurry to the final step where they are undressed and making love, another part was greatly enjoying the lingering sensations of her simple touches. When he opened his eyes she was looking down at him for only another moment before she turned her attentions elsewhere, seeming to search for something hidden somewhere amongst the covers of the bed. He tried to hide the breathing that hinted his eager desires by keeping as quiet as possible, she had twisted her body slightly away and focused on a controller she had in her hand, switching on the TV and causing Riley's hazel gaze to stare as names slowly rolled up the once black screen.
'Now I'm going to convert you to television.' Rather confused and yet trying to hide it as she smiled back down at him, there was something so exciting in the way she kept smiling at him, it wasn't her normal sweet smile, it was something far more playful. It wasn't easy to think about things when she was making him feel like this, so the only confusion he had right now was a slight baffled look hidden well behind his smile and eager hands that never left the warmth of her body. As her hands began to guide him up into a sitting position, it took a bit of effort not to make a sound since his body was becoming very sensitive to the movements and having her pressing against him at the same time did nothing to ease the desires.
Glancing from the screen back to Catherine, he smiled as he seemed ready to move closer and kiss her at any minute yet still trying to wait and see what exactly she had planned. Was watching TV important for her? She did make it sound like it was important, he smiled slightly and decided he would give it a try and besides, even if he didn't like it, he could still sit with her, hold her as she watches the screen. But all that was very difficult for him to think over since he was mostly focused on what she was making him feel as she seemed to play with him. When the tips of her fingers moved to his cheeks his mind drifted slowly away from where she was sitting just in time to catch the sweet delightfully light touch of her lips against his. Now his breathing quickly picked up once more as her hands lowered further down his body and her fingers curling about the bottom of the fabric and slowly pulling it upwards, his muscles tensing a little more as her fingers seemed to glide against his skin while she removed his top. Never in their relationship has Catherine removed an item of clothing from him, sure she help a tiny bit here and there but she has never removed something like she was doing right now and Riley could barely stand the fact everything seemed to be taking forever to do.
'I missed you so much.' She did? He was half distracted with her finally removing the top completely, his arms lowering and his hands soon rather quickly cupping around behind her and resisting the urge to pull her more firmly against him. It harder to resist however when her lips had once again fallen upon his, Riley's hands very lightly pulling her closer, taking in a small breath as her hands pressed against chest like they would often do when she was close to him. As her kisses grew more passionate he was finding it a hard struggle not to pull her closer and just begin removing her clothes like she had removed his top.
'Every night without you was lonelier than the last.' Closing his eyes as she spoke, Riley couldn't help but think that she could have come back if she was so alone, he was waiting for her, she could have returned to the school and they would have both stopped feeling so alone then. Catherine was engulfing his senses, her smell, her touch, her warmth, her voice, her beauty, it was all so much and so hard to bear all at once. With her forehead against his, Riley tried hard to remain focused on her eyes but every now and then his gaze would drop to her lips before being torn back to her own darker gaze. It was nice when she ran her fingers through his hair and when she acted so dominating, when she did what she wanted to do without waiting for him to do everything. He didn't resist anything she was doing, when she tugged him towards her his lips met hers with a hungry passion that would have been impossible to hide even if he tried. But again he felt the tug of confusion annoyingly itch the back of his mind as her kisses seem to fade in passion and yet her body moved up against his, although she was just inching herself closer to him it still felt good, the way she had pressed against him, the way her body was so easily delighting his senses was amazing.
'Riley ... I'm sorry.' He frowned slightly, he could sense there was something wrong, she was upset about something, and when her next kiss was felt, empty of the love and passion they normally had and more of a desperate touch about it instead.
'I've made so many mistakes already an I don't wanna make anymore ... I didn't meant to yell at you in the dying star or to run off.' But he was drunk, he's accepted that fact now, and if he had just tried to convince that he did really like her instead of being so upset that she didn't think he knew what he was doing... Unwittingly his eyes dropped down to study how she was sitting on him, part of him wondered if she could actually feel what she was doing to him or if she was oblivious to the fact since she seemed to be ignoring it rather well if she was aware of what she was doing to him. She had to get away, she didn't think he'd remember.. or.. or something, he wasn't sure but he knew she though she had to and he could be upset with her now that he finally has her, but as his lips parted to say it doesn't matter any more, her fingers seemed to silence his voice effortlessly.
'I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I always end up running away from things in one way or another, but when Cody said you were drunk I thought that was the only reason you'd kissed me and that come the morning you'd just want to take it back again.' But he already fell in love with her once, why didn't she think he'd fall in love with her again? It was hard to make sense of but he could tell she was trying to explain herself and he had to give her the chance to say these things even if he was feeling the way she was making him feel. He could barely feel her fingers drift from his lip and around to the back of his neck, they had an odd way with how they made love, it always seemed to be just before some form of fight or stressful talk of sorts.
'But I promise I'll be better from now on, I'll try, I really will.... and I know the first time we were together I kind of forced you into being with me even though you didn't really want to do that.' Now he didn't understand, didn't she realize that he wanted to be with her, didn't she know that he had decided that he liked her enough to take the step beyond since he though he'd never see her again, he wanted to be with her even if it was only once.. he chose her just as much as she chose him. There was a slight frown appearing in the corner of his lips as he tried to make sense of what she was saying while at the same time trying to ignore the urges that she had begun inside him.
'Then I know I did it again when we were back in your apartment just then ... but I ...' Maybe he was missing something, hadn't he assumed he'd kinda been forcing her to do these things, and then hadn't she said he can't make her do something she doesn't want to do, well why does she think it would be any different for him? Maybe there was a big part of him that was really upset with himself for having slept with someone when he wasn't married to them, but Riley's surviving with that on the sole basis he is convinced he will eventually marry her, that's what he wants.. that's what he wants now more then ever.. he wants to always be hers. But it was as much his choice to be with her that night as it was hers, if he didn't want to be with her, he wouldn't have, he has as much an ability to say no and turn away as she does.. just.. not when it involves her.. But he has done it with any other girl who has ever approached him, though he didn't really remember Claire although she was really just a friend they may have slept beside each other but that was nothing to do with love, simply the fact it was a one room apartment. And.. and maybe he once thought if he didn't show her how he felt there and then he would lose her forever, but still, it was his choice, and he doesn't regret it... he'll never feel bad for having shared that night or any other night or time they have together.
'I just needed to feel your touch so desperately.' But he felt the same way, didn't she see that, surely she must realize how eager he gets for her to hold him, and hasn't he told her that before as well? Hasn't he said that he wants to hold her forever and that he wants to always be with her and that he loves her?
'I'll be better from now on I promise, we don't have to be together until you feel ready Riley.' Inwardly his body cringe, hesitating in its worry as her arms where about him but then feeling the wave of disappointment flood through him as she let go and shifted to sit with her legs now off the bed and Riley feeling very alone and confused. Did he do something maybe that made her think he wasn't happy with what they where doing? His eyes turned slightly to stare at her and then looked ahead at the TV but paid no attention to the pictures on the screen. Folding his hands over his lap feeling rather helpless in whatever was happening, all this and still all he wanted to do was have her back on top of him.
'We can just watch the TV.' One of his hands reached up to stroke over his cheek and then uncomfortably his eyes lowered their gaze down to his lap before quickly shutting his eyes and letting his hands fold over his lap once more. Now she says they just watch TV? He's sitting here shirtless in no condition to sit still and watch a box, he could barely manage to wait a minute, which felt to him as long dragging hours. He fidgeted with his hands for a moment before leaning forward and removing his own shoes, but one they where off he seemed to sit up rather quickly, his body was still very excited and eager even after all that and any movement seemed to have a now unwanted effect in his system.
"...I had decided, that if I was going to die, I wanted to show you how much I had fallen in love with you first." He looked over towards her door for a moment and then over towards her. Part of him felt bad, because he was telling her that if things had been different, if they had met at the school and they had all the time in the world to court and show each other what it was like to be a couple then he might have waited.. But what happened has happened and that can't ever change.. and he doesn't ever want it to be any different.
"You where supposed to leave and I wasn't ever meant to see you again, and that hurt to think you'd never know how I really felt." Shifting his position to turn his body slightly towards her and his hand reaching for hers and pulling it into his lap so his fingers could caress the softness of her hand while he talked.
"But you changed all that, you kept me alive, and more importantly you didn't leave me down there, you took me with you.." His eyes focused on her hand now and one of his hands held it and his other stroked her hand gently with his fingers. So what if he went against what he believed was right about sleeping with someone you're not married to, he loved her, it was different at the time, he was dying then, and now they have already done it so it doesn't change anything, can't she see they've crossed a line they can't go back on and it's changed them.. It's definatly changed him, he can barely go half a day without thinking about her body and what it can do to him, and that's if he is really distracted with other things.
"If I didn't want to be with you Catherine, we wouldn't have been together, but I do want to be with you, I told you I love you and I really do. I know we have been brought up in different worlds, and I know we're always misunderstanding each other, but you can't ever misunderstand how I feel for you because I love you and that will never change." As he spoke Riley seemed to scoop his hand about her legs and gently tug them up onto the bed, lifting his knee so her legs where now between his own, his hands moving to cup her cheeks, his thumbs gently stroking them as he spoke.
"I really liked you when I was told about you and that you where coming to the school, I loved you when I saw you storming up to the school, I loved you when I saw you in Lost Angels and when I woke up in the tunnel after we brought you to the initiative. I loved you when I held you in the cell and I even liked you when I was Marc Lucas, I loved you when we made love and I loved you when I woke up to your face without any memory of us.. I love you Catherine and that won't ever change." Honestly he was amazing he could say so much on the simple fact he was still rather eager to make love with her, but this time it was because he really wanted to show her he loved her and he wanted her and he really did need to do this with her as well.. he needed her.. He inched closer to her, his body up against hers as his hands dropped down and pulled her tenderly into an embrace, his cheek's lightly stroking against hers as he leaned forward. He couldn't help but allow a short pause for his lips to lightly brush against the soft skin of her neck after his hand gently stroked aside some of her hair.
"We'll fight because that's what couples do and we'll misunderstand each other because that's what can happen between people when they talked. We'll laugh together and we'll cry and yell and we'll make up many times, that doesn't change how we feel, as long as we have the love we need to remain open to each others wants and needs and desires then we'll do fine." Pulling his head back a little, Riley's hands moved down and pick up hers, holding them up against his chest. His hazel gaze stared down at her hands against his chest, a small smile creeping on his lips before his eyes flickered up to meet hers. His hands slowly slipped away from hers as he leaned forward, his lips softly touching hers as his hands moved behind her back and he leaned her back down on the bed.
"Don't you see what you do to me Catherine? Can't you see I always want you? I have to be with you Catherine, I said I'd die for you, but I also said I'd live for you, dying for someone is easy, living for someone is hard, but I will, I'll live for you, everyday of my life will be just for you.." His lips moved hungrily from her lips to her shoulders as his hands slipped beneath her soft top. But slowly he sat up, his hand slipping out from under her top and his eyes staring down at her. This really wasn't fair, it was starting to really hurt not being able to make love with her right there and then, he wanted to badly to just undress her and then make love with her until his body couldn't move any more..
"The.. initiative are still after me, and.. and I think they are following me somehow because they always show up no matter what I do to try and lose them.." He was on his knees just over her thighs, his eyes staring down at her stomach before studying her body for a moment and then staring at her eyes rather painfully. So close to the one thing that made him feel so amazing and yet here he was.. talking, why did it have to hurt so much, it wouldn't be so bad if he weren’t feeling like this right now. He rubbed the side of his head rather irritably for a moment before leaning forward with an air of frustration about him as his head rested down on her chest, his back arching slightly as he curled down over her. He couldn't take this, you can't make someone feel like this and then just talk, that's cruel, even if he was starting a new thing he couldn't help it, part of him expected her to throw him off her and for her to demand he stay away from her until they're back at the safety of the school. But that's only because that's what had happened with Claire, the fear of that repeating itself will always linger somewhere in the back of his mind.
Letting his fingers find their way to her pants he quickly began undoing them, sitting up and looking rather determined to end this torment he felt he was going through. Letting his fingers creep beneath her top once more, but this time quickly guiding the soft fabric over the top of her head and soon hurriedly moving to lift her slightly off the bed so his fingers could unclip her bra and he hastily pulled it off trying to be as gently as possible but the tender touch was being over powered by the unbelievably strong need to be with her. The tension in his muscles was obvious, his hands took on a slight tremble in their desperation to hurry the process of undressing her. Closing his eyes for a moment as his breathing picked up, leaning forward his palms pressed into the bed beside her as his knees inched further down her legs, his hands moving to her pants and more carefully removing them. He completely forgot about them the second they dropped to the floor at the end of her bed, Riley himself standing up quickly and his hands trying so eagerly to focus on undoing the button and zip of his jeans, but they where so desperate and eager the trembles made it hard to hurry.
The instant he was free of his clothes, Riley moved to lay over Catherine once more, his eyes darting from her own eyes to her pillow rather nervously. Was it normal to be so desperately eager to make love with someone because it was rather scary, but he was so close now and he didn't want to wait any longer. He was getting better with this, they both where, he got inside her without any effort like the last two times where he had to move against her for a moment before he was able to enter her. Keeping his eyes locked on hers as he stared down at her, his lips just a tantalizing hairs length away from hers. But he quickly shut his eyes lowered his face beside hers, it was strange, because it didn't feel overly amazing just yet, it felt really good, but not anything like how she had made him feel and yet at the same time it was so relieving to be side her that he couldn't help but make soft sighing groans with his thrusts.
"I do love you, I want this, I want you." His lips moved over to hers for a moment, but his kisses where rather weak since his body was moving so eagerly and most of his energy was focused in those movements.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Cat's appartment"...I had decided, that if I was going to die, I wanted to show you how much I had fallen in love with you first." She glanced across and down at the hand he was holding, then back across at the T.V. screen in front of her.
'Oh.' It was almost like a question her voice, yet at the same time it wasn't. There was a bit of realization in her voice as it dawned upon her that under different circumstances he wouldn't have been with her. She looked down at her lap then glanced across at the way he was holding her hand then back away again, not quite knowing here to look. 'Oh I see.' Her voice was really quite and subdued, not like the girl who'd been sitting so happily on him such a few short mintues ago. But then that was who she was, she could be as high and happy as anything one moment but then the next she'd be really down and upset.
"If I didn't want to be with you Catherine, we wouldn't have been together, but I do want to be with you, I told you I love you and I really do. I know we have been brought up in different worlds, and I know we're always misunderstanding each other, but you can't ever misunderstand how I feel for you because I love you and that will never change." She felt him tug her gently against him, his lips finding their way down to her neck, brushing gently over her skin, making her shiver and forget what he'd said to upset her only a few minutes ago.
"Don't you see what you do to me Catherine? Can't you see I always want you? I have to be with you Catherine, I said I'd die for you, but I also said I'd live for you, dying for someone is easy, living for someone is hard, but I will, I'll live for you, everyday of my life will be just for you.." She didn't want him to die, she didn't like the idea of someone dying for her ... living for her was such a better idea. She blinked up at him and then smiled. This was what she wanted, she wanted him and she wanted him here like this with her forever.
She made a small noise in the back of her thoat as she felt his hands dip under her top and caress her skin .... why was he still talking? She didn't want him to talk she just wanted him to jump on her and make love to her.
"The.. initiative are still after me, and.. and I think they are following me somehow because they always show up no matter what I do to try and lose them.." That was a rather random statement, she was about to comment upon it and say that he'd be safe when they got back to Xaviers. He seemed confused however, lifting one hand to the side of his head then letting his forhead rest down on her chest. She didn't understand really just how much she'd wound him up, it was easier for her being a girl to turn her feelings on and off and the drop of a hat. However it was different for him, since he was male it took him a lot longer to cool down after she'd wound him up. But sitting over her like he was at the moment wasn't really helping himself at all.
She looked up at him as she felt him suddenly change his deminour, suddenly seeming very determined and a little desperate. She had a sudden idea that if she tired to move away he'd simply pinn her to the bed .... not that she'd really mind him doing that. His hands had dropped to undo the button on her trousers, quickly undoing it, though he semed to fumble for a second with the button. The next second his hands were under the soft delicate material of her top, she arched her body slightly against his hands, a small noise escaping her lips as she looked up at him. Her own body seemed to anticipate what they were about to do and began to respond to him.
He quickly removed her top, dropping it quickly off the edge of the bed, effortlessly lifting her off the bed for a sort moment while he unclipped her bra. She noticed however that there seemed to be a tremble to his fingers. She hadn't seen Riley acting like this before, it was as if he was desperate to be with her. Like a kid at christmas who just wants to rip the paper off his presents so he can play with whats underneath. She'd have laughed at the idea if she wasn't herself getting so caught up in the fact that in a few mintues he'd be inside her.
She watched rather eagerly as he moved down the bed a little in order to remove the jeans she was wearing. He moved off the bed then in oder to undress himself, she couldn't help feeling a little dissapointed that he didn't seem to be letting her help him. He always seemed to undress her but he seemd to be so eagre to be with her that by the time it came to him she just seemed to throw off his clothes. He fumbled out of his clothing, she was a little less shy about seeing him this time, however the light of the television was poor and she couldn't see much.
The next moment he was lowering his body over hers, then a few seconds later he was inside her. She let her body relax down onto the bed more, feeling her pillows behind her. He was looking down at her in such a way that she had to look back at him, there were so many emotions running though his eyes, all towed along by a strong undercurrent of desire. His head dropped to rest against the covers beside her, she could hear him groaning as he moved. Her arms moved to wrap around him, her body trying to press up against him, trying to move rather like she had last time but it wasn't as easy since he was pinning her to the bed covers with his weight.
Cat was so much more comfortable this time, because they were in her appartment and she didn't have those strange, stark white walls around her, instead there was the comfort of the every days things she saw all the time.
There was a sudden confusion of noise from the other room, the sound of a door slamming, stamping of feet as people were obviously trying to get the remains of the snow from outside off their boots.
'Turn the thermostat up Brad.' Came a femine voice. 'It's bloody freezing in here.' There was the sound of feet which must belong to something of the four legged genus. There was a scrabbing sound at the door and a sudden deafening barking noise. There was obvious a large dog just outside, it was infact a german shepard.
'What is it Prince?' There was the sound of footsteps coming towards the door. Cat made a groaning noise which was nothing to do with the way Riley was moving inside her. Why now? this was hardly fair ... what would happen now ... would Riley stop making love to her? or would he not be able to?
'Hey Cat you in there?' Came Nina's voice, Prince barked again, and made a sound as if he'd flung himself agaisnt the door. There was another volley of barking and then a scratching noise as if he was trying to claw himself into the room. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't come out and see him. There was a sudden growing noise and then a volly of louder barking as he caught the scent of Riley.
'G.. go away.' She managed to yell.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Cat's appartment
There was a banging in the distance that caused Riley to turn his head slightly, but it wasn't like they where going to come running into her room.. But Riley's body seemed to think the worst, growing quicker as if worried he would be interrupted, the voices of the others caught his attention once again and he held his breath as the dog began to bark.
'What is it Prince?' It was impossible for him to just stop with the arrival of the others at since he was so engulfed in Catherine, but there was a rather irrated groan from Catherine and a shuffle of feet that caused Riley to hold his breath again, though his body continued to move against her. His heart raced as he heard the girl on the other side of the door and the dog as well, couldn't they just be left alone, see.. this wouldn't happen at his place...
'Hey Cat you in there?' Of course she is, with him, so they can go away, he just wanted a little longer with her, why did they have to come.. It wasn't fair, not now, now that he had to be with her, Riley shut his eyes as the dog continued with making his noise.
'G.. go away.' Riley didn't mean to make it hard for Catherine, but his body was moving still inside of her and he was trying so hard to stop, but when he slowed his body would just start up again. But the chocked reply that came from Catherine was thought to be because she was in tears or really upset, and the instant Riley heard the handle of the door being fiddled with and the concerned voice of her friend asking if she was alright, he rolled over quickly and pulled her with him so she was still sitting on his lap and he was still inside her. He was so upset as he held her that it took a moment for him to say anything.
"Please leave us alone!" He buried his face in her shoulder, this was so embarressing.. his arms held onto her desperately as his body rocked slightly back and forth. His lips hurried to Catherines depserately and didn't even notice if there was a reply to his plea or not everything was so hard to understand, all there was in his world right now was Catherine and any thing else was not worthy of his attensions.

Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Cat's appartment
He seemed to grab hold of her all of a sudden, rolling quickly so he was underneath her then sitting up, his hands seemingly desperatley holding onto her. His body rocking backwards and forwards while he held onto her.
"Please leave us alone!" She heard him call out to her friends, the next second his head landed in her shoulder as he clung onto him. It wasn’t fair this, how could they do this to her? … to him? Nina brought men back all the time and she’d never come banging on Nina’s door the way her friend was doing right now. She made another groaning noise, though it wasn’t as loud this time and it was more because of the way Riley was sitting and holding her. She was going to kill Nina later, Riley sounded really upset but after a moment his lips moved back to hers.
‘Cat?’ Oh god she wasn’t going away was she? She sounded suprised to her a man's voice. Catherine hear the bark of Prince again, another thud, followed by a growl and a scratching noise. ‘Cat you alright?’ That was it! She was so furious with Nina, she’d only just found Riley again and already her and Brad were spoiling things for her, with an effort she tore her lips away from Riley’s.
‘Nina!! Go away.’ There was a more angry note to her voice now, hoping her friend would get the hint that just at the moment she didn’t want to be disturbed. Her eyes moved away from the door back to Riley, finding some comfort in his lips, trying to tell him she was sorry. They didn’t know … she’d never brought a man back to her room before, she’d never really down anything like this before, they just didn’t understand. She heard Brad say something in a mumbled tone, Nina laughed.
‘Oh! …. Sorry Cat.’ Catherine let her head drop down onto his chest, did they get it now? Did they understand that she didn’t need them banging on her door right now? They moved off, Prince seemed to hover around the door for a little longer, still growling slightly, until Brad called him away.
‘At least she seems to have got over that Riley bloke.’ She heard Nina say as she moved down the hall towards her room, Cat didn’t look up, but she moved her arms to wrap around him. Hugging him closely to her.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Cat's appartment‘Cat?’ He was so sure hearing a guys voice following Cat's own request to be left alone would be a big enough hint, even HE would have figured out something privet was going on.. Riley's head dropped as he got slightly more upset but his lips where still pressing against her neck and then her shoulders.
‘Cat you alright?’ Letting his lips drift back to hers, Riley's hands gliding over her back longingly and then lowering to tug her lightly against him. It caused a faint grunt in the back of his throat which was followed by an annyed whimper as she pulled away from his lips.
‘Nina!! Go away.’ As soon as her attention left the door and she turned to face him once more his lips locked onto hers, it wasn't fair, he wanted to have her making love to him, not have all these stupid distraction, he felt bad because she was yelling at her friends just because he was here and yet at the same time he felt pleased she wasn't trying to stop this. Catherine sounded angry and this caused him to want to try and make her happier, but he was too shy to try anything with everyone hovering about the door.
‘Oh! …. Sorry Cat.’ Riley wasn't too pleased with hearing the chuckle as they seemed to realized what was going on, he frowned somewhat as Catherine's head turned downwards and rested against his chest.
‘At least she seems to have got over that Riley bloke.’ At first Riley felt very upset to hear that, why did she make that sound like a good thing for Catherine to have forgotten him. But as Catherine held him he gave a soft laugh, he had her over him right now, right on top of him, and it felt great, the young man held his lover for a moment longer as he whispered into her ear.
"I kinda like you being over me." He grinned rather cheekily as he leaned back and pressed his lips against hers before moving further back to lay down on the bed. His body already shifting beneath her once again as his arms wrapped about her and his lips remained on hers.
Riley(about Catherine): She's my desert rose, a wondrous soul brought up in a harsh environment
Re: Cat's appartment
She gave another groan however this time it was a more frustrated one. Why did Nina have to say that ... why did she have to say that when Riley was right here with her. If Nina had been home before it would have given her a chance to tell her friend what had happened. She was worried now that Riley would be really upset with what had just been said. He was very quiet after all, she didn't dare look up, her eyes shut tightly. She was now worried that Nina would come back, she was glad at least that Brad seemed to have realised what was going on. She wished they hadn't laughed, was there anything funny about her expressing emotions about someone she loved.
"I kinda like you being over me." She heard him laugh slightly but she didn't didn't have the courage to look up at him. Nina had spoilt everything hadn't she, Cat didn't feel impassioned anymore. All she felt was embaressed and partially terrified that Nina would come back. At least at his appartment she wasn't worried someone was about to try and walk in on them.
His lips pressed up against hers, he pulled her back down onto the bed covers, her form now lying over his. His body willingly seemed to pick up the rhythm he'd had previously. She really wanted to move with him like she had last time they were like this, but she was too worried over what had just happened to do anything like that. She moved her lips from his, hiding her face away from him down on his chest. Her body seeming to reluctantly respond to him after a few minutes, thought she still made no effort to move against him. She kept her lips clentched shut though incase she let out one gasp or anything. She didn't like making love like this, her ears listening for any movement outside.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...

It was very obvious there was something wrong.. again.. because she wasn't really.. doing anything.. this wasn't going to work, this was their first devistatingly bad attempt of making love.. With a rather painfully disappointed sigh Riley seemed to rather sulkily stop and lay quietly with his eyes now closed. Stretching out his hands rather tiredly as he took in a deep breath, he lifted his head slightly and stared over towards the TV screen.
"So.. what's on TV?" His hands rested on her back as he stared at the screen, his legs shifted about slightly but that was really the only hint that he was finding stopping like this very difficult. But if she didn't want to do it then there was no point in continuing, he was still inside her and that wasn't helping but he wasn't sure he was brave enough to lose her all completely just now.. But even though he really did want to watch something with her, spend at least a little bit of time with her.. his eyes closed after not too long and it seemed only a short blink by the time they opened again to the early morning light that dimmly lit her room.
"Oh.. I didn't want to sleep.." He sulked but he seemed to cheer up slightly more since he was holding onto Catherine who had her back to him, but was laying against him still. His arms wrapped slightly more firmly about her for a moment as his lips pressed against her shoulder. But then he sat, rubbing his eyes and slipping from the covers and getting half dressed, not bothering to completely dress since he figured the others would be asleep. Treding lightly out of the room in his jeans, Riley made his way to the bath room that Catherine had pointed out and splashed his face with the water. He was drying it with a towel when much to his displeasure the girl who must be the owner of the voice that had solely ruined last night with Catherine. Appearing startled at him standing in her bathroom, Riley smiled slightly and dried his hands before noticing he was using the towel to hide his bare skin as best from her view as possible.
"You must be Nina, Catherine's friend.." He wasn't sure why, but the next words that came from him where filled with a mixture of pride and almost as if he was trying to tell her something very important. Which he was, he was quite sure he never wanted a repeat of last night ever again.
"...I'm Riley, Catherine's boyfriend." He tried to be as polite as possible while at the same time backing away towards Catherine's room and then saying bye and disappearing inside. He was already dressed by the time he nudged Catherine awake, his lips touching her cheek very lightly.
"I have to go get ready for my new job, I love you so much.. I'll see you later!" He gave another kiss to her before grinning and hurrying off out of the room, but managing to pause at the door and look back at her before hurrying off to his own apartment for a new change of clothes and some morning snakes to munch on his way to work.
