Prostitution Is The World's Oldest Profession--Cobra Starship

Who: Sam, Open
When: Sunday July 20th; day after his wedding; early evening
Where: A park in London, after work.
What: Trying to enjoy the sunshine

Sam was laying in the grass in the park, looking up at the sky. He didn't have to get Gabriel that night, his mother was watching her grandson, so he was just enjoying the sunshine, contemplating his whole situation. He never thought he'd be working the day after his wedding, never thought he'd be by himself the day after his wedding. Then again, he also thought he'd be in love with the person he married.

Not that he was complaining. Penelope was certainly better than his first match. He actually liked Penelope. This was just--he knew it could be worse, but somehow, that didn't make him feel any better. He wanted to just get away, or at least get out of his head for a while.

With a sigh, he lifted his hand to inspect his wedding ring.

Susan should have been resting, especially since she had been working hard hours at the Leaky Cauldron. Hard and long hours, which the dark circles under her eyes and the lack of motivation she had. She hadn't dressed to impress, since she didn't really ahve to. She had a pair of semi-baggy sweat pants and a semi-loose t-shirt and her sneakers. She had left the flat after Kris had left and she decided to wander around a bit and headed to the park.

Walking around, she looked at the ring that was on her ring finger and sighed. She loved Kris, but her mind was still confused. She continued staring at the ring, not watching where she was goingn ad tripped over someone and fell down. "Ouch." She said, just laying ther and closing her eyes, before sitting back up for a moment to see who she trippedo ver. It was Sam and she laughed nervously. "Hey there, buddy." Was all she said, looking a bit nervous.

Sam hadn't seen her coming, but he saw her go flying over him. "Oh god, are you okay?" He asked sitting up quickly. He just kept babbling. "I'm so sorry, I thought I was in plain view. Jeez, I guess not. Are you okay?" It took him a second to realize who it was. "Susan." He stared for a second, before offering her a somewhat uneasy smile. "Hi."

Why did she look so nervous? Why did this feel so weird?

	"I'm fine..I'm good." She said, as she looked at him and rubbed her tired eyes and sighed and she crawled closer to him and gave him a hug. "How are you?" She asked him, licking her lips and looking around for a moment, before making eye contact with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He hugged her back, a little hesitant. His guard went up and he wasn't quite sure why. "I'm fine. No offence or anything, but you look...tired." Ariana used to freak out whenever he said that, claiming he was actually saying she looked like shit, but really, people can look tired. "How're you?" He wrapped the cord of his headphones around his iPod and pocketed it.

	"I'm fine, Just...lack of sleep lately. Work has been a pain." She said, rubbing her eyes again and looking at him, with a grin. "How's your baby and your wife?" She asked, in a soft voice. Her brown eyes were little blood shot, but she was fine nonetheless. "Um...we should hang out sometime." She mumbled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Gabriel's fine and I haven't seen Penelope since yesterday," he replied quietly, crossing his legs indian-style. He glanced briefly at the ring on his finger. My wife. He sighed. "We should, Susan, we really should." He offered her a little a sad smile. He was still feeling down about the whole marriage business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's good." She said, as she glanced at his ring and wrinkled her nose and sighed. "So, how does married life feel to you?" She asked him, knowing it was a little awkward. "I'vem issed seeing you around and everything. I would have sent an owl, but I was afraid that Penelope might think something was going on between us or something." She said, rambling a little bit. She began playing with her wedding ring and cleared her throat.

	"No different really. Penelope and I'll be moving in together as per the legislation, but other than that, nothing seems to have changed and I'm not sure if that's good or bad," he replied, playing with the grass. His guard was going down again. She was still Susan. "I doubt she'd care one way or the other, Susan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She smiled, as she took his hand and looked at him for a few moments. "I hope that you're happy. I hope that you and Penelope can..can be together without any problems. Just remember..I'm here to babysit whenever you need me." She said, with a grin and leaned forward, kissing him on the cheek and released his hand, scratching her forehead. She had loosened up enough to feel more and more comfortable around him, especially since he was one of her friends.

	He bit his lip when she kissed him, frowned a little when she let his hand go. Carefully, he took her hand back into his and brushed his lips over her knuckles. "Can anyone be happy in a forced marriage?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head and squeezed his hand. "I don't think so." She said, taking a deep breath and scratching her forehead again and sniffled. "Are you truly happy?" She asked, licking her lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebrokenroad 2008-08-03 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Happy?" He repeated, still holding her hand lightly. "No. The only thing that makes me happy right now is Gabriel. And if that's all I've got, then that's enough. But no, I'm not happy. Are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A part of me is happy....happy not to be alone anymore, but another part of me wishes that i could have just stayed alone and died by myself." She said, sniffling and trying to stay calm and not start crying. "Getting upset won't help me...I know for a fact it won't." She said, staring down at the grass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sam moved closer until he could pull her into a hug. "It feels good though. Crying." He just held her close, let her do what she had to. God knew he'd cried often enough. The pain and hurt got to be too much sometimes. Crying certainly helped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She wrapped her arms around him tightly and broke down. "It's not fair..Everyone I've loved has been taken from me and I feel so alone. That's why I've buried myself into my work and everything so that I can forget about my parents and all of my family that has died. I can't handle it anymore." She was rambling about what was wrong in her life and held onto him, as though she was scared to let go even though he wasn't her husband. She looked up at him. "I'm sorry..I shouldn't be like this." She soft spoke, as she looked into his eyes.

	"No, it's okay. You have every right to be feeling this way." He rubbed her back, smiled a little. He cupped her cheek, used his thumb to brush away her tears. He knew he shouldn't, but she was just so sad at that moment, he couldn't think of any other way to offer comfort. Tentatively, he kissed her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She kissed him back and pulled away, looking at him. She wasn't upset with him, just shocked. She also..liked it. "Sam, I...I don't know what to say, but..thanks..for being with me like this and the kiss...you're making me feel better..making me feel not so lonely anymore." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm glad," he said softly. He reached over and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. He hoped he hadn't overstepped anything. Though he had kissed her. Why can nothing ever be black and white? (Reply to this) (Parent)
