Wednesday - June 25th, 2008 Who: Cissy and Jonah When: Night Where: Jonah's Bedroom - Seattle, WA What: A little conversation Note: Aim Scene
cissysaidso : *lightly knocks on Jonah's door* Hey. I saw the light on so... figured you were still up. *chews on her lower lip* You busy? aureliebeauvais : *takes glasses off and puts book down. is sat on the bed in his jammies* Hey. cissysaidso : *takes that as a cue that he's not busy and steps into the room* Grace is sleeping. *holds up her half of the baby monitor to show him* I've been trying but.. no luck. *laughs softly as she perches on the edge of his bed* aureliebeauvais : Trying what....? cissysaidso : *soft laugh* To sleep. I've been trying to sleep. aureliebeauvais : Ohhh..... sorry.... brain sorta.... *chuckles* cissysaidso : *laughs and then smiles* It's okay. Happens to the best of us. Besides, it's been a really long day. *makes a bit of a face* I don't know what was with Grace today but... she was so fussy, all day long. She's not usually like that. aureliebeauvais : *small, soft smile* They have their moments needing particular attention. You never get used to it. cissysaidso : Maybe she's just... anxious. *smiles a little and looks down at the baby monitor, placing it beside her on the bed so that she can fidget* aureliebeauvais : Why would she be anxious? She's spoilt rotten. *leans back on pillows* cissysaidso : Because I am? *looks up at him* They say that babies pick up on that sort of thing. aureliebeauvais : *nudges with his foot* You got nothing to be anxious about you're a great mom cissysaidso : *smiles shyly* It's not about that... aureliebeauvais : Then what? cissysaidso : Direction? *shrugs a little* Not knowing... how to answer certain questions when people ask me. aureliebeauvais : What sortsa' questions? cissysaidso : Well, about uhm... *looks down at her hands again, fidgetty with a stray string in the hem of her pajama top* When I'm going back. Or... if I'm going back. aureliebeauvais : Ohh..... Seattle got you hooked huh? *grins and nods* I knew the good ol' city would have you cissysaidso : *small laugh* No.... It's not.. I mean Seattle is nice and everything but... I just.. I don't know what you think about it. *glances up at him* aureliebeauvais : *wrinkles a brow but is still smiling* What? cissysaidso : *small laugh* Why are you smiling? This isn't... amusing, I'm trying to be serious... aureliebeauvais : Stop being cute and I'll stop smiling. cissysaidso : *rolls her eyes and then sighs* Look, I know you love Grace, and Archer loves Grace like a sister, and everybody loves Grace and... You'd probably really like to have Grace stick around but... *bites her lower lip* Taking Grace out of the equation, which I know is hard to do and only hypothetical, but taking her out of it, do you... I mean would you want me to stick around. aureliebeauvais : *goes serious for a second* Ok. Taking Grace out of the equation. Taking the fact Archer adores her and I adore her.... and taing into account that you seem to have your head better screwed on than before.... *smiles a little* I like your company. But I like you better as a mother. It suits you. Grace suits you. You're the most complete i've ever seen you, so I wouldn't want to take Grace out of it because she makes you come alive. IF you stayed like this, how you are.... I'd have you round every day cissysaidso : *inhales a deep breath and sighs, folding her legs indian style on the bed* She does, doesn't she? *small laugh* But I just.. I feel like I'm plugging myself into your life without being invited and.. I don't wanna do that. *glances down at her hands once more* But you're right. It can't be just about me and it can't be just about her either. It has to be about both of us because... Grace and I are a package deal now so... aureliebeauvais : I like the package. cissysaidso : *glances up at him for a second and then quickly looks back down at her hands* Are you sure? aureliebeauvais : dUH. cissysaidso : *laughs and then nudges him with her foot* Stop stealing from my vocabulary. aureliebeauvais : *laughs* Hard. You influence me. Living you melts my brain and language skills cissysaidso : *scowls* That's not very nice... aureliebeauvais : *sniggers* like, seriously.... cissysaidso : *laughs* Stop it! Don't make me have to hurt you... aureliebeauvais : *eyes widen and smirks* Ooooohhhh promises, girl, don't make me excited. *nudges with foot again* cissysaidso : *laughs* I'll make you think excited in a minute. *grabs his foot and tugs on his big toe* aureliebeauvais : OW that was my good toe"! cissysaidso : *giggles* You have a good toe? aureliebeauvais : *gravely* The others have done time. cissysaidso : Ooohh. Time, huh? For what? *lightly tickles the bottom of his foot* aureliebeauvais : *chuckles* Burglary. cissysaidso : Aww. What'd they steal? *bat lashes and purses lips* Was it someone's heart? aureliebeauvais : *bursts out into laughter* cissysaidso : Don't laugh at me, you jerk! *shoves him playfully, still smiling* aureliebeauvais : You are so made of cheese cissysaidso : Oh, well, I have it on good authority that you LIKE cheese. aureliebeauvais : On whose?! cissysaidso : Psh! I'm not telling. *unfolds legs and scoots up on the bed a little* aureliebeauvais : It was Archer's wasn't it cissysaidso : *giggles and shakes her head* I'm not saying. aureliebeauvais : It so was! Unless it was Grace... I've seen her eyeing me recently, she's up to something cissysaidso : *laughs loudly* Oh yes, she is plotting your demise as we speak. That's why she's so quiet. aureliebeauvais : She belongs in Family Guy cissysaidso : *gasps* Do not compare my child to Stewie! *thwaps him with a nearby pillow* Her head looks nothing like a football! aureliebeauvais : Yeah you're right I'm sorry. *pauses a moment* More ilke a soccer ball.... cissysaidso : *looks stunned* That is so mean, Jonah McIntyre! aureliebeauvais : *grins at her* You know I'm kiddin'. It's more like a tennis ball......... cissysaidso : *gasps again then leans up and pinches his arm* My child is perfect! Her head does not resemble anything other than a perfect, beautifully shaped head! aureliebeauvais : *laughs* To be hit by Agassi..... cissysaidso : Ooohhh.. You are SO asking for it! aureliebeauvais : *laughs a big belly laugh* cissysaidso : At least she doesn't have a head... *pokes him in the ribs* like.. *pokes him again* yours! *quirks a brow slightly* You look like a potato! aureliebeauvais : *Gasps and acts really deeply offended - even jumps away from her* You absolute ice queen!! cissysaidso : *arches a brow and then decides not to take the bait* Yeah, well... If the shoe fits.. *holds up her foot and gives it a wiggle* aureliebeauvais : Wow... I can see your toes have done time too cissysaidso : Have they? *pauses to look at them, lips pursed slightly* aureliebeauvais : Yeah. In ridiculously expensive shoes that I see you trying to walk in but don't reall y fit cissysaidso : *gasps and then tosses a pillow at him* You are so cruel! I have no idea why I even tolerate you! aureliebeauvais : *grins at her* cissysaidso : *pouts* My shoes fit. aureliebeauvais : They don't fit me cissysaidso : *quirks a brow slightly* And why, exactly, do you know that? aureliebeauvais : *laughs deeply* cissysaidso : *smiles and then nudges him with her foot* And I'll have you know, I've not even bough shoes since I've been here, or since Grace was born. aureliebeauvais : s : Seems like you're due them cissysaidso : *smiles a little* Grace goes through enough clothes for the both of us. aureliebeauvais : Yeah but I wouldn't mind buying you shoes. *raises a finger to pause* Ones that fit cissysaidso : *smiles softly* That fit me or fit you? aureliebeauvais : You!!! cissysaidso : *giggles and then wiggles her brows* I think you'd look sexy in some heels. aureliebeauvais : No.... no way cissysaidso : *laughs softly* Well, if it makes you feel any better, you'd probably look sexy in just about anything. aureliebeauvais : *laughs* You're talking about yourself there, blondie cissysaidso : Well, you know, duh! *giggles* Though not if you don't stop feeding me. aureliebeauvais : *gives her a look* Celia, you gotta keep some weight on.... cissysaidso : Hmm. Why? aureliebeauvais : Because you look fucking hot with curves. cissysaidso : *giggles and bites her lower lip* Thank you... aureliebeauvais : *grins at her* I speak truth, little lady. I like ass, you got it, I like boobs, you got 'em. Curves, meat. Nothin a man likes better than meat. cissysaidso : *laughs* You can be so crude sometimes. *paues* I like it. aureliebeauvais : *laughs again* You always liked it. A lot, as far as I remember.... cissysaidso : *smiles shyly* Yeah... A lot. aureliebeauvais : *clears throat and stares at lap* So back to the question... cissysaidso : *exhales a soft breath* Am I staying... aureliebeauvais : Yeah.... : I mean you don't even have to stay with me. I know a guy who sub-lets apartments. cissysaidso : *looks up at him a bit stunned* Oh, so you.. I mean, I just thought... *frowns a little* Yeah, that.. I mean.. We do take up a lot of your space. aureliebeauvais : *assuring* It was just an option, not an eviction notice. I know my life can sometimes overtake. Though you'd want YOUR space. cissysaidso : *sighs* I don't... I mean the only reason I would stay in Seattle would be because... Well, because you're here so... aureliebeauvais : *frowns a little* Just for me? cissysaidso : *nods* I love being here with you and Archer. It feels... I mean sometimes it feels kinda awkward but that's only because... because sometimes I feel like I don't know what to do around you. aureliebeauvais : *nods* just be yourself cissysaidso : *small laugh before biting her lower lip* I can't.. aureliebeauvais : Why? cissysaidso : Because... *chews her lower lip for a moment and sighs* Because if I were just me, there are times when I'd just... wanna hug you and not stop until my arms fall off. aureliebeauvais : *chuckles* We can hug..... cissysaidso : *smiles shyly* Are you sure...? aureliebeauvais : *extends arms* cissysaidso : *sighs a little then crawls over onto his lap to wrap arms around him in a tight hug* aureliebeauvais : *cuddles her close* that better? cissysaidso : *soft laugh* Yes. *short pause* You have no idea how much I've missed this. aureliebeauvais : *laughs a little* cissysaidso : Mmm, it's true. No one gives hugs like you do. aureliebeauvais : Cause I'm classed as a bear. Apparently, accordin' to Wes..... dunno what that means cissysaidso : Mmm, like a big Jonah-teddy. *giggles* aureliebeauvais : *laughs* cissysaidso : *smiles* Is nice. aureliebeauvais : *rubs her shoulder* cissysaidso : *is quiet for the moment, a million thoughts running through her head, all of which she's not sure whether or not she should talk about* Are you scared? aureliebeauvais : .........about what? cissysaidso : Of me... aureliebeauvais : *laughs* Yeah you got the real bad demon vibes cissysaidso : *soft laugh* You know what I mean, Jonah... aureliebeauvais : *soft, considering* No I'm not scared of you. cissysaidso : I am. *short pause* Of you, I mean. You're.. not safe. *exhales a soft breath* I mean like... Like Xander, he was always safe because I always knew what to expect from him. *soft laugh* And my silly infatuation with Ric, safe, because nothing's ever going to come of it. Even Simon was... safe. *sighs* Until he went and got himself killed anyway... aureliebeauvais : *squeezes her* cissysaidso : But you're never safe... *glances up at him* You haven't been since the first time I met you. aureliebeauvais : Why aint I safe? cissysaidso : Because I can't... I can't control you and I don't really know what to expect... from you or.. with you so... *sighs* I could get hurt. aureliebeauvais : *quiet a minute* You mean how I got hurt? cissysaidso : *soft* Yeah.. aureliebeauvais : *stays quiet* cissysaidso : *exhales a deep breath* I don't want things to be like that anymore. I don't.. I don't want to.. hurt people just so they don't have the chance to hurt me. I just... *sighs* I just wanna be happy. aureliebeauvais : Then be happy. Don't read into it, Celia. Just live your life and let everything roll naturally. I really care for you, Celia, I'm here if you need anything. cissysaidso : But I can't.. I'm not.. *sighs* I don't wanna be your roommate, Jonah. I can't stay here if, you know, there are going to be other women and.. I wouldn't expect you to be okay with me bringing other men here either so... aureliebeauvais : So..... we don't date. Not anyone else and not each other. cissysaidso : But I don't... *sighs and shakes her head* I don't want you to feel like you have to be alone for my sake. aureliebeauvais : Celia, there's nobody for me right now. And until we're able to move on, or something, we don't date. cissysaidso : *sighs softly and then nods* Okay. Deal. aureliebeauvais : Good cissysaidso : *remains still and quiet for a long moment before she sighs* I should... go to bed. aureliebeauvais : Okay. *turns the light off, not making her move* cissysaidso : *small laugh* You want me to.. stay in here? aureliebeauvais : *puts arm around her waist* Let's just say I've missed having someone to hold when I go to sleep cissysaidso : *smiles and then closes her eyes, settling down* Me too.
