DownTown – Vogue Office : Seattle

Simone’s eyes darkened as she stared down Raul, who was grinning at her like a Cheshire cat. The last thing she wanted at this point in time was to have his greasy looking mitts all over her just to sell a strand of pearls. Just then one of the assistants came in with a platter of nibbles for the gathered throng of Sales reps and designers. It was already starting to remind her of an after party at one of her shows, and this was just the lead up to the fashion show. But there was something about the smell of the small bite sized morsels that suddenly had Simone looking green. She slapped her hand over her mouth and then looked for the nearest exit. She was going to be sick.

Pushing past Raul and Giseppe, she reached the door and then hot footed it down to the nearest ladies toilet, where she slammed open the door and made a bee line for the nearest cubicle. Collapsing to her knees and hugging the porcelain, she started to throw up. And it was bad. Her gut wrenching heaves were enough to make the girl in the next cubicle gag.

“Are you alright?” The office clerk asked, as Simone was wiping the drool off her bottom lip and trying to catch her breath.“I’m sick…I’m….R.A.L.P.H!!!! ~blurg!~” Oh it was nasty. Everything Simone had eaten for breakfast, and even dinner the night before was making a second appearance. She coated the bowl. It was simply horrific.

Falling back on her ass, she started to cry as the mascara she wore was running down her cheeks.

“What is wrong with me?” She whimpered as she drew her knees up to her chest and sobbed.

DownTown – Vogue Office : Seattle

After having cleaned herself up from the vomit that stained her shirt, Simone came out of the ladies room only to be confronted by Erica. Turns out the other staffer in the cubicle beside Simone’s was the office gossip. Erica reached for Simone’s arm and dragged the hapless blonde down to the conference room. Thankfully, it was not in use and they had it to themselves. Locking the door so that they wouldn’t be followed, Erica stared at Simone with a grim expression. The ride to the office that morning, Simone had shown her a pregnancy test stick that had been in her bag. Naturally, Erica jumped to conclusions.

“Mary from accounts said she heard you throwing up. Now…after this morning, you know….”

Erica didn’t need to elaborate, since Simone knew exactly where this was going. “It has to be something I ate. Erica…I swear, I’m not pregnant. Okay?”

This was not enough for Erica, who had gained Simone a top spot in the fashion Week parade. “But you said so yourself. That there was a chance and it might be Brock’s.”

Simone hissed at Erica, starting to get nasty about bringing up Brock’s name. “No..no…just no.”

The blonde ran her fingers through her hair, looking like an animal caught in a trap. The last thing she needed right now was to be expecting. The very thought of it turned Simone cold. “I can’t be. I wouldn’t know what to do with a baby. You would be looking at the world’s worst mother.” Simone said, tapping her chest.

Erica started pacing, as Simone leaned back on the conference room table. It must still be early days, at least that is what Erica thought. She came to a stop and then pointed at Simone. “We are going to a family clinic. Find out once and for all, then…you are going to have to make a decision.” Erica approached her friend and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“I’ll even go with you. Okay Simmy? You won’t be alone in this.”

Simone had to admit, that was probably the kindest thing Erica had ever said to her friend. She let out an exasperated sigh, and hugged her good friend. Erica rubbed her back lightly and said.

“Now…about that nude photo shoot.”

“ERICA?!”

Re: (RP) Elias’s Studio

April 30, 2014 12:42AM

Róisín put the gun down with a flat look, watching as Elias explained to Lucy: “Hello, Lu. Sorry to say, but it looks like Tom has gotten angry and is intent on leaving the pieces here. Tom just stormed out. He’s peeved about the paint ball he took to his rear after stating that you and Róisín were in need of sexual attention. She’s not one to take such slights lightly.” Lucy called the boy a “shit” and said she’d handle it. No doubt she would. Nodding out of habit Elias said, “Alright. We’ll be here.” 

Conversation complete, the somehow still bemused yet irritated Elias turned to his apprentice. The girl was leaning against the table with her arms crossed and a sour expression. He wanted to admonish her, but the lass was of course a grown woman. Besides. Thomas deserved what she’d done. There was nothing for it but to wait and see if Lucy was able to bring him around. A moment later Elias was staring out the window across from the elevator shaft. Yellow Ass was standing on the sidewalk with his phone to his ear and proceeded to remove his pants. By the time that conversation was over the boy had chucked the keys into the truck and was striding off into the street in nothing but his boxers between himself and the public. Poor Lu. This was going to mean more trouble for her. It wasn’t a good idea to leave the keys down there though. Calling back over his shoulder Elias told Róisín, “Get the first set on the trolley. I’m going down for the keys the kid left.” He then called the elevator back up and rode it to the lobby.

Róisín had not bothered to follow Elias to the windows and had instead proceeded to pack up the materials she had been using to wrap her pieces. She vaguely heard something about keys and trolley when Elias yelled. Shoving the remaining bubble wrap back into the packing crate, she carried it into the hall and placed it back in the storage closet before walking into the studio and dragging the trolley over to the first stack. She was loading it carefully when Elias returned to help. Between them they soon had all but her final piece, her most private, stashed into the truck. But as they had not yet heard from Lucy they hung about the studio until she contacted them.

It wasn’t long after that the door buzzer sounded. Ro and Eli were parking in his office mildly discussing the show. Róisín rose to answer it but Elias shook his head and stepped in front of her: “Better if I answered, either way.” Acceding with a frown, she remained behind leaning against the door frame. When the door was rolled back, the older man’s voice drifted to her ears. “Lucy! So the kid wouldn’t come back? I’ve got the keys here. Ro’s work is loaded. I can drive it over to the gallery if you’d like, but we didn’t want to head over until we’d heard back from you. Coming in?” He moved back into the hall and gestured toward the doorway in which Róisín was posed. Lucy looked absolutely beat.

Elias’s studio

It was Elias that greeted Lucy at the door, his words like rapid fire as he asked about Thomas and how they had loaded the van ready to go to the gallery on their own. Lucy stood silently as her eyes wandered over to Roisin fleetingly, then back at Elias who said that he was prepared to drive the truck over to the gallery for her. They had held off since they were waiting on word back from her about Thomas. His final gesture was to ask Lucy inside, while Roisin had remained in place at the doorway, leaning against it casually. Now, if Lucy had been annoyed by the entire farce she didn’t show it. The professional mask was up and in place. Just another set back, that the assistant Director didn’t need. Though dressed in the paint stained overalls, and with her hair now starting to come undone due to the rush on over to the Studio, she still had that air about her.

“For a moment.” her reply to the offer to come inside was said quietly. With the work now on the truck, and time marching on there was very little reason for Lucy to remain. As for the situation with the truck….

“If you could drive the van back over to the gallery I would appreciate it, Elias. It’s a tricky thing to park in the loading bay. I will happily reimburse you for the cost of a cab back to your residence after.” Lucy was not speaking now to Roisin, for she felt that an argument may well ensue.

“I will ring a few temp agencies in the morning to find a replacement for Thomas so that the truck can be unpacked at the very least. Might…go for Russians that don’t speak much English, so they don’t offend anyone.”

Now that last part, was meant as it was said. Lucy took a step back and said finally.

“Shall we go now?”

It was now near dinner time…as the street lights were starting to come on.

Elias’s Studio

Róisín watched as Elias welcomed Lucy inside, explaining everything about the truck as he did. The woman looked tired and didn’t so much as bother to offer Ro a greeting aside from a cursory glance. Typically the girl didn’t care about that, but given Lucy’s stance with her on account of the showing, Róisín expected more, the fact that Ro was responsible for the current situation notwithstanding. However, nothing registered on her face until Lucy made the comment about hiring Russians that couldn’t offend anyone. Then Róisín’s face turned stony.

Elias stepped back as Lucy entered. He was nodded along to what Lucy was saying, offering: “Oh, it’s no problem. I’ve driven them a time or two before; don’t worry about anything like that or the cab.” His only response to Lucy’s Russian comment was to give a half sort of laugh and try brushing it off so as to avoid further confrontation. He didn’t mind so much that Ro had caused Thomas to throw a fit, though Elias liked the lad, but Lucy? He did not want either of the two getting into it. Róisín would flatten Lu like a hammer and jeopardize the show. Lucy asked if they could go. “You’ll find someone. I’ll-“ , he started.

“I’ll fill in for you,” said Róisín, voice snapping. Eli looked at her uncertainly as she continued, “You drive the truck over and I’ll follow with Lucy.” With that she turned back into the office as if the matter needed no discussion on either point. Returning with her backpack over her shoulder and her favorite piece, the hand sculpture, carefully cradled in her arm, she walked past them and out the door. “Alright…” trailed Elias. He grabbed his jacket from the hook on the wall and would usher Lucy back out the door. [b] “We can grab some burgers on the way,” [b] he suggested pleasantly as he and Ro walked into the elevator. He tried not to wonder what had spurred Róisín’s offer of assisting at the gallery or imagine how that could go so terribly wrong.

Elias’s Studio

Lucy showed Elias something of a crooked smile which meant she was pleased at the fact he took her up on driving the truck back over to the gallery, but what was to come next left her somewhat shell shocked. Roisin’s voice cut through the air at both Elias and Lucy that she would fill in for Thomas. It was completely out of the blue, and possibly a knee jerk reaction to the Russians comment. The Assistant director shot a glance at Elias to see his reaction and he looked uncertain about the proposal.

“You drive the truck over and I’ll follow with Lucy.” 

As this was said, Roisin turned her back and went in the office without so much as giving room for argument. Lucy’s jaw fell open, but then snapped shut again, since it was already getting very late, and in hindsight only two people could fit in the cab of the truck, not three.

Watching Roisin return with her backpack, and of course the treasured piece; her hand sculpture she walked straight on past Elias and Lucy without so much as a word. Lucy shook her head slightly and let out something of an exasperated sigh. Elias just caved and followed along after getting his jacket. Lucy just wanted this day to end – to go home and curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. That was now going to be hours away.

As she was being ushered out, Elias suggested that they stop for burgers on the way. He was trying to keep things upbeat, but with the tension so thick that you could carve it, a night at McDonalds fast food restaurant seemed like a bad idea. Lucy had to swallow her pride.

“Sounds wonderful.”

Stepping out onto the street, the van was still parked where Thomas had left it, and with Elias having the keys and knowing where the gallery was it should be a piece of cake for him. Dealing with Lucy and Roisin however would be much harder. Glancing about Lucy asked Roisin. “Where are you parked?’ Her tone was flat, as she crossed her arms, and stabbed her toe into the foot path.

Re: (RP) Elias’s Studio

May 24, 2014 12:05AM

Burgers, Eli wanted burgers. It was about that time, so it wasn’t surprising. The man had a horrid diet. Róisín’s wasn’t much better, but at least she tried to eat a salad once in a while. She had age on her side too. “Fine by me.” With a grin, Elias exclaimed,“Sweet! I know just the place.” 

Turning back to Lucy, Ro saw her digging her toe into the dirt. She asked where Róisín was parked. Pointing over Lucy’s shoulder to the green impala, she said, “There. Probably best we drive our own cars so we don’t have to make extra trips. I’ll drop Elias off later. We can talk more once we’re back at the gallery.” Her hand raked through her hair while she waited for Lucy to respond. Lucy was probably wondering why the hell Ro had made the offer to help out. Truth be told, she was still wondering herself. The rumble of the truck engine brought her back to the moment. She began walking to her car.

If Lucy wanted to ride with her or vice versa, Ro wouldn’t disagree, since it would give them the option to talk. But they could do that back at the gallery too. Once they were all in their vehicles, Eli would pull out and head down the road. Turning off in a completely opposite direction from the gallery, he would ]drive for about fifteen minutes before pulling over on the side of back road near a greasy, old style dinner. It was clearly a sit down joint. Hopping out of the truck, he would call back to them, “Best burgers in Seattle!” So much for the take out. This would make the evening longer.

Re: (RP) Elias’s Studio

May 24, 2014 02:34AM

Roisin’s Car

Lucy agreed with Roisin about taking their own cars. Sadly, Lucy’s car was at the gallery, so she would have to hitch a ride with Roisin, since Elias had already raced off to take over the truck. Lucy took a moment, before setting off after Roisin. Her mind was already in a bit of a panic, what with loosing Thomas, and having to virtually run the entire gallery on her own, since Maxwell’s absence from the gallery was becoming more frequent.

Getting into the passenger side of Roisin’s car, Lucy strapped herself in quietly and just kept looking straight ahead. Burgers for dinner. She couldn’t even remember the last time she had a burger. Fast food joints really weren’t her thing. A good salad and juice bar, or even sushi and you would have Lucy in her element. The idea of greasy food, with soda pop and those gaudy interiors that looked like something out of a sick clown’s birthday party that had exploded.

As Lucy watched Elias pull the truck out, she suddenly watched him driving in the wrong direction.

“Uhm…no..uhm. Where is he going? The Light box is in the other direction.” Her head swiveled round and back, her face showed a total expression of confusion. Surely Elias knew the way. Lucy looked to Roisin for answers, but for the next fifteen minutes or so, they sat in virtual silence.

Finally Elias pulled over the Gallery truck right next to an old style greasy diner. It looked like something out of the 1950’s. Lucy’s face was aghast. they were in the middle of no where at what may well have been a serial killer’s favorite burger bar.

“Oh you’ve got to be kidding me.” Lucy said with a stricken expression. She fiddled with the door handle and finally stepped out of Roisin’s car, hearing Elias say ; “Best burgers in Seattle!” If it had made any list by its appearance, she would have been inclined to say with the biggest cockroaches in Seattle.

Not wanting to be a complete killjoy, Lucy slowly followed Elias towards the entrance of the diner. It was one of those sit down booth type affairs. No drive through. This was going to be a long night.

“Lead on, Elias.” She felt like a lamb entering a slaughter house.

Hawaii

Pandora’s last night in Hawaii was every bit as magical as her first night, made possible by some new friends and an old relationship made new. As Brock held her close, dancing to the music playing in the restaurant, she couldn’t help but feel like things were finally looking up for her.

She was ready to return home, get back her life again.

The next morning, she and Brock were packed and ready to fly home. They met Jane and Jason in the lobby as they bags were loaded into the shuttlebus that was set to take them to the airport. She excused herself and went to the desk.

“Ms LaRue, I hope your stay with us was a most pleasant one?” the woman at the desk smiled. Pandora passed over her room key and nodded.

“I want to thank you and your staff for the kindness and hospitality you showed me while I was here. I can never repay you for that.”

“There is no need for repayment. We were happy to help. You are welcome here any time you desire.”

“Thank you.” Pandora smiled. She rejoined her friends and they climbed into the shuttle, headed for the airport.

Seattle – Escala Apartments – 7D

A late evening rainstorm was going as a taxi pulled up in front of the building. Two people climbed out but in the gloom, it was hard to see their faces. The trunk opened and the larger of the two began pulling bags and suitcases from it, setting them on the curb while the other held open the door to the apartment building. The driver was paid and sped off into the night, while the other two headed inside.

“Was that her?” came a whispered voice.

“Can’t tell. Too dark.”

“We need to get in there, find out where she lives.”

“Don’t you think I tried that? Place is locked tighter then Fort Knox!”

“You can’t bribe the security guard?”

“Tried that. He threatened to cornhole me before having me arrested. Swear the guy looks like one of them wrestlers you see on TV.”

“What now?”

“We watch…and wait.”

—–

After escaping Louis’s clutches…again…Pandora and Brock made their way upstairs to her apartment (Pandora doing her best to ignore Apartment 3C). Unlocking the door, she stepped inside the darkened living room, holding the door open for Brock to bring in their luggage before she closed the door behind them. She flipped on a single light and looked around with a sigh.

“Home sweet home.” she mumbled, tossing her keys on the table.

Seattle – Escala Apartments – 7D

Brock set down their bags on the floor beside the entrance to Pandora’s bedroom, and then went about checking each of the rooms to make sure everything was as it should be. He already had an uneasy feeling about being back in her old apartment, and he had a nagging suspicion something just was up with the place. As for Pandora saying home sweet home, Brock sung out.

“Not for long, love.”

He meant about the new home that he had bought her, which he wanted to go and take her to see in the morning. Right now, he knew she would be tired from their flight back from Hawaii. Finding nothing out of place, or suspicious, he turned out the lights in her bedroom and ensuite, before coming back out and enveloping her into his arms.

Kissing the top of her head softly, he mused. “Aren’t you happy to be home?” It was a reasonable question, cause he got the feeling something was upsetting her. Was it passing Simone’s apartment? Or maybe not having heard back from Kali. It could have been any of these things, but he didn’t feel he wanted to press her.

Brock ran his hand gently up and down her back, while he waited for her to say something.

If Brock seemed unsettled to be there, Pandora was even more so. She didn’t know if it was because of this place, or something else. But her apartment…felt different.

Brock wrapped her in his arms, asking her if she was glad to be home. She pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart.

“In a way.” she replied. “But…this doesn’t feel like home anymore.” She looked at him. “I feel like a stranger here. Things have changed…I’ve changed. Does that make sense?” she wondered.

Seattle – Escala Apartments – 7D Living room

Seeing Pandora being uncomfortable in her own apartment truly had Brock concerned. They had both been away from the city a while, and now to try and settle back in after all that had happened was going to be an arduous task. Brock did agree however that Pandora of old had changed. Everything from her tastes in clothes, to her demeanor. The crash, their break up, their reconciliation, finding out about each other’s true selves – all this played a part in how they were acting now.

Brock gazed down at her with a concerned expression. He knew that she wouldn’t want to spend the night at his apartment, especially after when she explained that it just wasn’t her, and yet she didn’t feel comfortable here either.

He had one idea.

“We….could check into a sleazy motel.”

This was said to hopefully bring a smile to her face, in that she might see the funny side since neither really wanted to be in her apartment.

“‘Just…the bed bugs and other nasties might be an issue. I’d hate to think what one of those CSI ultraviolet lights would bring up”

Apartment 7D

Brock was silent for a few moments after her declaration. She began to wonder if he was having second thoughts about the two of them. She herself was having no regrets. After everything they’d been through, for her to forgive him was a mighty big thing for her to do.

She was definitely a changed person after this ordeal.

She looked at him, seeing his concerned expression, but also a glint in his eye.

“We….could check into a sleazy motel.” he smirked.

That made her laugh, hard, and she clutched at him, chortling with absolute delight. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her laughter muffled as she pressed her face into his skin.

“What did I ever do to deserve you?” she giggled, bring her face upward again. “And a motel sounds nice…but nothing sleazy. The only thing I want biting me on the ass is you.” she winked, poking him in the ribs.

Getting herself under control, she stepped back to look around the place that she had once called home and realized that home was where her heart was. And that was with Brock.

He had gone out of his way to make her feel comfortable by buying her a new place to live and she couldn’t wait to move in with him. It would take some time to get their things moved in, deciding what to keep between them but it would be a fresh start for the both of them.

“I don’t want to stay here tonight.” she stated firmly.

Seattle – Escala Apartments – 7D Living room

Pandora’s laughter was infectious and he couldn’t hide his smile even if he wanted to, that he would ask her to stay in some dive of a motel for the night to cheer her up. The muffled laughter reverberated off his chest and he continued to hold her in his arms – his eyes bright from happiness. This was how he loved to see his Pan – laughing and happy.

She asked what she had done to deserve him, and he just shrugged not sure how to answer that one. He wasn’t about to break into some long winded speech. But the part about biting her ass did sound inviting. His grin from that was unmistakable and he could only make a satisfied sounding noise.

“Mmmmm.”

Course, when she came back to earth from her laughing fit, she did admit that she didn’t want to stay in the apartment that night. Truth was, he didn’t want to either.

“Then it’s settled. We book into somewhere a bit more upmarket than the Pink Poodle, and perhaps stay somewhere like the Fairmont Olympic. I’ll go make the booking.” Brock stepped back and then took out his cell, starting to search the number as Pandora would be waiting. “I’ll see if they have a King deluxe with spa tub. Love those.”

Brock turned around and headed towards the balcony doors, where he could look out onto the street as he made the booking.

“Evening. I’d like to book a room for two. Mhm….under the name Carrendar. Yes.” he then gave over his credit card details and waited for confirmation as he tapped his foot. Once the guest manager made confirmation, Brock told her they would be there within the hour. He hung up from the call and turned on his heel saying.

“We can stop at the 7/Eleven and grab some snacks. Ice cream maybe?” He really wanted to treat her.

Apartment 7D – Living Room

Stepping away from her to pull out his phone, Brock thought getting out of the apartment was a grand idea.

“The Fairmont sounds lovely. I’ve ridden by there a few times. Definitely swanky.” she agreed. He found the number and went about making a reservation for them as she ducked into the bedroom to get a few more clothes. Looking through the closet, she cringed at the sight. Everything was black. Black lace, black leather, black suede…black, black, black. She began ripping things out and tossing them on the bed, items she had no intention of ever wearing again. By the time she was finished, her closet was nearly bare. She decided to keep two pair of her favorite leather pants, boots and tops because she loved how she looked in them. Everything else was headed for the Salvation Army bin.

“We can stop at the 7/Eleven and grab some snacks. Ice cream maybe?” he called out when he’d finished his call. She strolled out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to grab a couple of garbage bags.

“Make it Butternut Pecan and you got a deal.” she winked before going back into the bedroom. She began shoving the clothes she’d tossed on the bed into the bags so she could easily take them to the donation bins. And that brought to mind transportation.

“Brock? How are we getting to the hotel? I don’t have my bike and we took a cab from the airport.” she reminded him.

Apartment 7D – Living Room

Reminded of how they didn’t have a car with them since they both came together from the airport, Brock then had an idea. He knew that Orson had been spending time with Erica who lived with Simone. It was probably not a good idea, but then again he was family and he might be able to help them. Course, he could just ring another cab.

“Why don’t I give my brother a call, see if he can give us a lift over there?”

Erica’s apartment – 3C

Erica and Orson were making out on the couch, as Simone came out with her hand on her stomach. “I feel like shit. She headed into the kitchen and started to rifle around in one of the cupboards for something to settle her stomach. Simone had been something of a misery guts since she discovered she was pregnant. Though she hadn’t spoken to Orson about it, since he was really just her best friend’s current crush, it wasn’t hard for him to spot that something was up with the girl. Erica broke from kissing Orson, to look over her shoulder at her gal pal in the kitchen. She was wearing pokemon pyjamas, and her hair was done up in a messy bun.

“If only the tabloids could see you now.” Erica joked, as Simone flipped her the bird.

“You take a picture of me, and I will get you back, bitch.”

Erica burst out laughing and went back to kissing Orson, who was used to their catty ways.

“Why don’t I give my brother a call, see if he can give us a lift over there?”

Pandora left her bedroom, dragging two large garbage bags of clothing. She dropped them on the floor beside the door with a huff of breath and placed her hands on her hips, tossing her hair out of her face as she did so.

“Yeah…I’m fine with that.” she agreed. She had no idea Orson was a few floors away, or that he was with the one person she didn’t want to deal with just yet.

Things were about to come to a head.

——

Outside – Sidewalk

“I could swear I saw a light come on.”

“Where?”

“Seventh floor…fourth window in.”

“So? Could be anybody. We don’t know it’s her for sure.”

“Are you using the binoculars or not?”

“Fine!”

With the binoculars trained on the mentioned window, the watcher’s breath catches as Pandora walks by the open curtains.

“Is it her?”

“Yes…oh…she looks good enough to eat…” came the moaned response.

“So how do we get to her?”

“We watch…and wait…there’s always opportunity. We just have to knock on the right door.”

Laughter echoed throughout the darkened car as the rain continued to pour down around them.

Apartment 7D – Living room

Thinking this was a good idea, Brock then put a call to his brother Orson, who happened to only be four floors down. The cell buzzed in his pocket and then Orson broke his kiss with Erica to answer the phone.

“Yo Bro…sup man?’

“Hey…just got back in town with my girl, Pan. We are at her apartment, but she doesn’t fancy spending the night here, so I booked us a room up at the Fairmont. Don’t suppose you could give us a lift over, neither of us have a car.”

“Sure dude, just let me explain to Erica, and I will be right up.”

He hung up the phone and then tweaked Erica’s chin.

“My bro..Brock is back from Hawaii with Pandora. They need a lift to the Fairmont, sounds like they are going to be having a hot night in a top star hotel. Lucky dog.”

Instantly Simone dropped a cup of water she was holding in her hand.

“He’s back? With Pan?”

Orson nodded as he got up from the couch and adjusted himself, since Erica had turned him on a bit.

“Mhm…going to go give them a lift. Why, did you want to come say hello?’ Orson was pretty clueless about the situation. Simone quickly shook her head, and dashed back into the bedroom, slamming the door. Orson shrugged, while Erica pouted. “Will you come back?” she asked, pawing at his jeans. Orson bent down and kissed her forehead. “And miss a night with you? Hur. I be back within the hour. Don’t worry.”

At that, Orson headed out of Erica and Simone’s apartment, and headed to the elevator, where he would go up to Pandora’s apartment.

He reached her floor and then went to knock on the door.

As Brock was chatting with his brother, Pandora’s own cell phone began to ring. Frowning, as she wasn’t expecting any calls for the night, she pulled it from her pocket to check the caller ID. The grin that swept over her face was brighter then any of the stars in the sky and she quickly answered it.

“Well if it isn’t the Wonder Twins!” she grinned, moving away from Brock so she didn’t interrupt his own call.

“Hey big sis! How’s Seattle?” came the voice of her youngest brother, Caleb.

“Rainy at the moment. Kind of wished I had stayed in Hawaii.” she chuckled. “Where’s Caden?”

There was a click and then the voice of her other brother came over the line. “Hey Pan, how are you?”

“I’m doing better then I expected.” Pandora smiled, daring a glance at Brock.

“Things working out for you guys?” Caleb wondered. He had wanted to jump on the first plane out to his sister when he found out some schmuck had broken her heart.

“Yeah…we did some talking…things are good, knock on wood.” she stated. “How’s school and what are you guys up to?”

“We are doing excellent. 3.5 GPA for me, Caden’s beating me by about .4 points.”

“That’s because I’d rather study then party every weekend. Caden retorted.

“I did not send you to college so you could spend your weekends getting drunk.” Pandora frowned.

“Aw come on, Pan! I hear it enough from Mr Party Pooper over here! Give me a break!” Caleb groaned.

“Caleb Joseph!”

“Oh god! She did the ‘mom’ voice! Save me!” There was the sound of fake choking down the line and Pandora couldn’t help but laugh.

“Stinker. Seriously though. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?”

“Well…we were wondering…” one twin started.

“…and if it’s cool with you…”

“If we could come and stay with you for summer break? they both finished.

“Why?” she frowned.

“George and Denise have been hitting the drugs and booze pretty hard lately…and we don’t want to be around them any longer then we have to.” Caden stated.

That was all the incentive Pandora needed to agree.

“Yeah. I have no problem with it. Um…Brock and I are moving into a house together in the next week or so…we’ll have plenty of room for you.”

“Have we told you lately that you are the best sister ever?” Caleb grinned.

“I love hearing it.” Pan smiled.

“Thanks, sis. We’ll call you in a few weeks and let you know when we’ll be coming up.” Caden stated.

“Love you guys. Be safe and I’ll see you soon.” Pan smiled warmly. After receiving the same from her brothers, she hung up, a soft and pleased smile on her face.

There was a knock at her apartment door and she looked at Brock, before moving to see who it was. Glancing through the peephole, all she saw was a blue shirt. She stepped back and looked at Brock.

“I think it’s your brother, but I’m not sure. All I can see is a blue shirt.”

Sure enough the owner of the blue shirt was Orson. Brock went to open the door and there was his older brother, the blonde giant and standing there with a dopey expression. He saw the couple then wandered in and gave his baby brother a hug.“Welcome back Bro.” He slapped his brother’s back three times, before letting him go and then giving Pandora a bit of a salute. He wasn’t familiar enough with her to hug her, he felt a bit awkward there.

“Wow…you look tanned. Good holiday?’ He asked, before then noticing his brother’s scars.

“Shit…what happened to your face?”

Brock knew this was going to come sooner or later and he shrugged. “Got into a fight.” Orson then pulled his brother aside and whispered. “You…you can heal you know.” Brock pulled back from his brother’s grip and said simply. “It’s okay, man. I know what I look like and I can live with it.” This had Orson confused, and then he arched a brow, before looking at Pandora.

“You know why my brother looks like he got hit by a bus?” He was wanting answers, and it looked like they weren’t heading off to the Hotel just yet.

Brock opened the door and it was indeed his brother. They greeted each other as brothers should before Orson looked at Pandora. She was thankful he didn’t try to hug her as well. After all, she didn’t know him like his brother did.

“Wow…you look tanned. Good holiday?”

“Yeah…for the most part.” she answered, a bit awkwardly. And then he took a really good look at his brother.

“Shit…what happened to your face?” Pandora cringed at the shock she could hear in Orson’s voice. She waited to see what Brock would say.

“Got into a fight.” was all he said.

Orson pulled Brock to the side and they began to have a whispered conversation out of her hearing range. She locked her hands together, nervous, but knew the man deserved an explanatation. As if he had heard her thoughts, Orson looked directly at her.

“You know why my brother looks like he got hit by a bus?” The tone of his voice and his obvious stance as he stood next to Brock indicated they weren’t going anywhere until he was satisfied with what he heard.

She took a deep breath and decided to just tell him.

“I’m afraid that’s my fault.” she started, “but…your brother was a giant ass spider at the time and I had to defend myself or risk being killed.” she added. Before Orson could ask about that, she showed him her hand, palm facing upward. With nary a thought, a bright orange flame appeared in the center of her palm. “I’m pyrokenetic. I have been all my life, only discovering my power when I was 18 years old. When I found out about Brock…and Simone…I ran off to Hawaii for some alone time, try to put things in perspective. Brock came after me…and we had an argument…that quickly turned into a fight. That’s when I found out who he really was…what you both are. I met your Aunt Charlotte, by the way.” she stated. “Anyway…I…set Brock on fire, in his spider form so I could get away and that’s when your aunt showed up.” She wasn’t sure if she should have explained about Hope, didn’t think it was her secret alone to tell. “She said some things that made Brock and I think things over and we managed to talk out our problems. And I will regret, until my dying day, the harm I’ve caused to him. I didn’t mean to hurt him so badly and I wish with all my heart that I could take away those scars.” She bent her head, staring at the floor as she struggled to contain her still turbulent emotions over what she’d done. It would take her a long time for her to forgive herself for what she’d done to Brock. She was just amazed that he could forgive her for it in the first place.

Orson certainly was not ready for the explanation in full of what happened on the Hawaii holiday. He knew as to why Brock and Pandora broke up, well, partly but nothing after that, so this was all news to him. Brock remained silent as Pandora started to explain everything, but the part that gave Orson a fright was when he saw her create fire with her hand. The explanation that she was a pyrokentic leaving him somewhat shocked. So, she wasn’t mortal. That sort of made things a bit easier, but not when she explained that Brock had revealed his true form to her. It was almost like betraying a closely guarded family secret and something he had not even begun to explain to Erica. Erica would probably dump him in a second if she knew the truth. Orson brought his hand up to his forehead and nervously brushed back his blonde locks, before staring down at his baby brother.

“Well, that explains the scars. Still want to know why you haven’t just used your regeneration ability. I mean…dude, you are a good looking bloke….well, you were.”

Brock didn’t care about his looks, and this was when he went to stand by Pandora’s side. “There is a reason I haven’t let them heal by will. I did wrong by Pandora, and these scars are a daily reminder of what I have done and the punishment I deserve.” He was adamant about this and was not about to change his mind.

“And Aunt Charlotte went to Hawaii? Damn. I know I heard the call, but I was…kinda busy.” It was true, all Carrendar family had heard it. Orson felt sheepish about that. “I guess that explains a lot. More than I needed to know, come to think of it.”

At this Brock shrugged, but then put his arm around Pandora.

“Truth’s out Bro….she knows what we are and she accepted me, after the fight. I’m just happy that she accepted me back….scars and all.” he then pressed his lips to the top of her head. “She’s my girl….nothing is going to changed that.”

She let the two talk but one thing stuck out in her mind and she looked at Brock in shock.

“You mean…this whole time…you could have healed yourself? And you let me think…the guilt…but I…” It was rare to see her speechless. “Why would you do that?”

He moved to her side, wrapping an arm around her. When he spoke, he was looking at Orson, but she couldn’t help but feel he was speaking to her as well. “There is a reason I haven’t let them heal by will. I did wrong by Pandora, and these scars are a daily reminder of what I have done and the punishment I deserve. Truth’s out Bro….she knows what we are and she accepted me, after the fight. I’m just happy that she accepted me back….scars and all. She’s my girl….nothing is going to changed that.”

There was such conviction in his tone, Pandora felt blessed to have this man in her life.

“You would keep your face like that…for me?” she was simply amazed. He pressed a kiss to her head, letting her know that he was hers.

“Brock…I truly do love you, shocked as I am right now.” she looked up at him, her eyes bright with love for him. When she looked at him…she didn’t see the scars…she only saw the man she loved.

Brock didn’t like to think he was deceiving Pandora by not healing himself, but he laid the truth out for her. He felt he needed a constant reminder of his past sins, in order to be a better man – no matter how he looked. She knew what he truly was now, so to him the scarring was superficial compared to what he had become. When she declared her love for him again, right in front of Orson, that was when Orson took his keys out of his pocket and shook them.

“Okay you two. Before you all get mushy and get me teary eyed, your chariot awaits.” he started off for the hall, leaving Brock and Pandora alone for a moment. Brock held his Pandora in his arms, and just continued to kiss the top of her head, refusing to move.

“I just want to be the man you wake up to…and the one that you fall asleep with at night. I never want to lose you.” He meant that with all sincerity, as her words hit home.

Seeing as his brother was already leaving the scene, he started to gather up their things. “Got a few extra bags here.” he didn’t realize she was about to dump her past life’s clothes at the nearest op shop. It wasn’t just him that had changed, it was her too. Black was no longer her colour. Her love was for brighter colours…the darkness having left her heart and her life.

“Come on, before he takes off on us and leaves without us.”

Orson left them alone for the moment, telling them he’d meet them at the car downstairs.

“I just want to be the man you wake up to…I never want to lose you.”

She shook her head, holding him tight. The feeling that suffused her body was simply one of hope and joy. She loved this man, and nearly losing him made her re-evaluate the things she wanted out of her life.

Re: RP-Escala Luxury Apartments

May 28, 2014 06:16AM

She stepped back and pressed a light kiss to his lips, which was gladly returned.

“Come on, before he takes off on us…” he smiled, grabbing their things, including the two extra bags of clothes.

“I’d like to drop those off at the Salvation Army bin on the way. I won’t be needing them anymore.” she told him at his questioning look. He nodded and headed out with their things. She paused in the doorway and took a look around. She had spent the better part of 10 years in this apartment, a place she’d once called home. But it had never really been a home. It was place she simply resided. She never made the effort to make it a real home as the furniture came with the place. She had a few pictures and small appliances that she’d bought…but the rest…

She would turn in the keys in the morning after she returned for the rest of her things. She wasn’t sure if Kali was back from Hawaii or not, but knew she could simply leave them with Tony if she needed to.

It was time to move on with her life…with Brock standing at her side.

She flipped out the light for a the last time and closed the door behind her.

Outside

“There she is!”

“Who’s that she’s with?”

“I don’t know. Let’s follow them and see where they go.”

The rumble of an engine started as the occupants watched the action across the way. Pandora climbed into Orson’s car, the mechanic in her sitting up and taking notice, admiring the beauty of it as she did so. She would have loved to have seen what was under her hood.

“I…love…this car…” she grinned as Brock slipped in beside her.

Orson’s car

Brock put the extra bags for the salvos in the boot along with the bags they brought back from Hawaii. Orson was already behind the wheel of what he called “The Beast” his pride and joy. Getting in the back with Pandora, Brock chuckled to hear how much she loved his brother’s car. But she couldn’t love it as much as Orson did. Orson would make sweet love to it if it was a woman, that was how passionate he was about it.

“She’s quite the gal, isn’t she?”

Orson sung this out as they pulled out from the curb. The engine purred as Orson handled her like a pro. Brock kicked back and had his arm around Pandora as they cruised along. He had to admit, he enjoyed the ride. But then he remembered something about the car.

“The back seat get some action, Bro?”

Orson snorted at that remark. Truth was he hated to see her get dirty. “Nope…not done the deed in my beauty. Sides, she might get jealous.” There it was. Orson loved that car more than anything. Brock chipped back. “And here I was thinking this was a pimp machine.” He winked at Pandora as they continued down the road. “He probably makes the girls in his life take their shoes off before he lets them get in.” he then laughed before adding. “Wouldn’t be surprised if he kissed it good night.”

Orson simply turned on the radio to drown out his brother’s remarks.

“If you don’t mind a trail of dirty clothes to the hamper. The odd game of night poker with the boys. Might need a man cave for a pool table. My pinball machine collection. Oh, and my favorite band posters.” 

“Whatever you like.” Pandora chuckled as she took her napkin to wipe her eyes, trying not to smudge her makeup. She couldn’t help but stare at the photo of their new digs. He kissed her forehead as he laughed about her fake marriage proposal.

“Living in sin has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” he grinned at her. She smacked his arm with a laugh.

“I think I can handle that just fine. But let it be known, here and now. The garage is mine.” she warned him.

Across from them, Jane burst into happy tears, claiming that this was better then a soap opera. That set Pandora laughing, reaching across the table to squeeze the blonde’s hand. “Want to be my landscaper? I don’t have a clue about outdoorsie plants and flowers and stuff and it looks like it could use that special touch.”

Pandora realized, as she made the offer to Jane, that she’d gained a very valuable thing beside the love of the man beside her…she’d made a friend, all on her own.

Jane squealed when Pandora asked if she would consider being her landscaper for the new house. The cheeky blonde insisted on getting a look at the house that was on the phone, and immediately started to get ideas on what sorts of plants would suit the yard that they were going to have. Jason peered over Jane’s shoulder at the picture of the house and nodded to show he was impressed.

“That’s quite a home there. Kinda place you can raise a family.”

Hearing this Brock could only show a light hearted smirk, especially after the meeting on the beach with their daughter from the future. Brock drew his arm tighter around Pandora, and replied. “All in good time. I want to enjoy Pandora to myself for a while. I think she has a cat though.” You could tell his memory on such things as animals was a bit off.

Just then the band started to play a song that was close to Brock’s heart. He eased out of the booth and then extended his hand to Pandora.

“As this is your last night…I wish to ask if I may have this dance?”

If she accepted, he would lead her out to the dance floor, and place his right hand around to the small of her back, the left hand gripping her right. Staring down into her eyes he whispered.

“Let this be the first dance of many.”

To any watching the couple, you would think they were on their honeymoon, celebrating their last night in paradise. Little did anyone know the truth. Love was given another chance to live within them. Forever bound…there is always Hope.

Brock and Pandora are to return to Seattle, where their new life awaits but so does Simone.  Pandora’s past is closely catching up with her.  Will her step father find her?  Drama galore is in store, for our Ladies Night couple.

Kahala Hotel and Resort, Oahu – Dining Room

If it was one thing Jane was good at, it was sending the small group into meltdown – fits of laughter at her naive outbursts that already nearly claimed the life of one diner. How many more would be left gasping for breathe from her wild outbursts. She was infectious, cheeky and downright delightful. Brock found her amusing to no end, and to top it off to see and hear Pandora laughing and smiling again was all worth it. He would happily undergo any interview with the ditsy blonde, if it meant that Pandora enjoyed the pre dinner conversation.

Jason himself was seen to be chuckling, and slipping a protective arm around a bouncing Jane. He was just happy that she was not dwelling on what had brought her to Hawaii in the first place, and the fact that at this point in time she was currently skint. Jason would make sure that the rest of her holiday was one to remember, and that when they got back to Seattle, that he would pull out all the stops to make sure that conniving woman and her husband paid for what they had done.

The waitress brought over a tray that had four cocktails on it, and set about placing one in front of each of the guests. Jane clapped her hands and enthused how pretty it was. Brock smirked, since drinking one of these sorts of things wasn’t terribly manly. Jason picked up his and shrugged, since it couldn’t be that bad.

“I hope it tastes as good as it looks, hun.” Jason said, raising his glass. “A toast. To Jane, the Queen of choice cocktails. AND to Brock and Pandora. I hear love is better the second time around.” Jane clinked her glass to Jason’s and then to Brock and Pandora. “Here here!” she cheered before sipping her cocktail and then smacking her lips.

“A fruity juice…that knocks you off at the knees.” That was putting it mildly.

“A toast. To Jane, the Queen of choice cocktails. AND to Brock and Pandora. I hear love is better the second time around.”

“Cheers!” Pandora smiled, clinking glasses with the others. She took a tentative sip of the cocktail, surprised at the fruit taste. She was always one for the hard liquors so this was a change of pace for the woman who liked to ride motorcycles.

The waiter came by with a basket of bread sticks and took their dinner orders as they were chatting. After a few moments, they put in their dinner orders before the waiter nodded and went to put them in. The conversation resumed as if it never had been interrupted.

Pandora set down her drink then turned her gaze toward the couple across the table. It was her turn to be the interrogator. “So…how in the hell did the two of you end up in Jason’s bed?” she wondered, unaware of the fact that Jane’s ex had totally cleaned her out. She was sure there had to be a story behind this new relationship.

She crossed her legs as she sat back, unconsciously resting a hand on Brock’s thigh as she waited for Jason or Jane to explain how they ended up together.

Re: (RP) Hawaii

Jason and Jane exchanged a look, when Pandora asked the question of just how Jane ended up in Jason’s bed. Jason appeared coy, while Jane was giggling like a loon.

“Do you want to tell, hun? I am not the best one for telling stories.” Jason said, knowing that Jane was far more colorful in her choice of words. He toyed with a strand of her hair, while Jane’s eyes glistened when looking at Jason. She had really fallen for him and hard.

“Well, as you know that evil bitch that I came here with on my supposed honeymoon wiped me out of all my funds, credit cards and trust accounts while I was on that hike with you all.” This was the hard part to have to explain. But Jane pushed on.“Jason kindly let me come up to his room to stay, since they wouldn’t let me back in the apartment I rented. My cards bounced, and the Hotel policy is pretty strict.” She said with a sad nod.

So here I was…all pouty, and Jason suggested we play a game of cards. Now, I am really good at Go Fish, but then we played a game called poker.” At this point Jason glanced skyward and started to whistle. “See, now I found I am really good at poker, but we didn’t have chips, so I bet my clothes.”

It turned into a game of strip poker, much to Brock’s amusement, as he covered his hand over Pandora’s as they listened to Jane’s tale.

“So…then, Jason started losing all his clothes, and….THAT was when I saw him in the buff. And…and discovered I was not a lesbian really. *she then leaned forward and said.* He has a huge dick.” Jason blushed as Jane continued.

“I was down to my panties and…Barry White’s song came on. “My Kind of Wonderful.” Jason took my hand and we started to dance…and the next thing we knew..we were fucking like bunnies!”

“God bless Barry White.” Jason said as he took a swig of his cocktail and Jane shined a huge smile at Pandora and Brock. “Your TURN!” She wanted to know their story.

It was a fantastical story to be sure and Pandora was impressed with Jane’s resiliency in the face of such a betrayal. But she understood it. She glanced at Brock quickly, thankful the Fates had given them a second chance at love and it shone in her eyes.

“Your TURN!” Jane exclaimed after she finished her explanation. Pandora sighed. She should have known this was coming. She shook her head with a smile, turning her hand over to link her fingers with the man beside her.

“Well…there I was, doing my regular rounds at The Poisoned Tongue when one of the more…rowdier patrons decided he would rather fondle my ass then his drink. I didn’t appreciate that at all and let him know, quite loudly in fact. Caught the attention of this gorgeous guy, who was at the bar with his brother to celebrate their father’s pending nuptials. Mr Grabby Hands, who was this big, burly man, shoved me to the ground and this man stepped in and put a stop to it in less then 10 seconds simply by throwing a peanut at his head. Guy fell face first in a puddle of vomit that hadn’t been cleaned up yet. Oh it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen and I was impressed. So my shift ends and I’m headed out to the alley where I parked my bike and a crackhead decides he wants my money. Has me at gun point. I’m standing there rolling my eyes, wondering who the hell in the universe did I piss off that day. So I’m about to do something drastic when the guy gets taken down by a trashcan lid before getting tossed into a dumpster. I was amused.” she grinned.

“So I’m at a club with some friends a few nights later and there he is again. It’s like suddenly, he’s everywhere. We talked, we danced, he kissed me in the middle of the dance floor, setting my blood on fire. Drags me to a corner and we pretty much start dry humping each other right there. It made me feel so alive.” she grinned. “We get out of there because my friends are nosey bitches and it’s pouring down rain. I didn’t have my bike and I was wearing leather. Do you know how hard it is to get out of wet leather?” she snorted. “This guy offers me a ride home, and I asked him to stay the night, since it’s late and we’d both been drinking. Couldn’t offer him the couch, he was taller so I offered to share my bed. We fell asleep. It was the next morning before we realized how much we wanted one another.” Pandora’s eyes glazed over as she thought back to that first hot encounter in her kitchen. “It was hot, passionate, steamy and everything that I wanted in a man. I fell in love with him that very day, although I didn’t realize it then.” She leaned her cheek against Brock’s shoulder. “And the rest they say is history.”

Hearing Pandora tell the tale of how they met, and continued to meet up brought a smile to Brock’s face that was hard to hide. He nodded at certain parts of the tale, and chuckled at the part about the peanut and the vomit landing of Mr Grabby hands. But one thing that Pandora forgot to mention was all the times that Brock cooked for her. Took her for a meal on his father’s island, and of course the romantic picnic at the park.

“I tried to woo her with food. Turns out that is how you land a man.”

Jane actually snorted her cocktail out her nostrils and needed a napkin. “Ha! Ow that burns!” Jason helped her clean herself up, as Brock tried not to laugh at Jane’s misfortune. Once she was dry and dabbed down by Jason, Brock then continued.

“Part of the reason I am here now, is because like most couples we had our dark times. I did some things that were both stupid and foolish, and I had lost her at one point.” At this he looked deep into her eyes,as he held her hand. “I know I am not perfect, and that I need to do my best to keep her happy. I never want to have that feeling of being alone again. Life just wasn’t the same without her. So I chased her to Hawaii, and fought to have her back in my life.”

He meant every word he was saying and then he said only for Pandora to hear.

“I will rejoice in your laughter, and kiss away all your tears. Now and forever, Pandora.”

Pandora had forgotten all about his cooking skills until Brock brought it up. That earned him a grin.

“Don’t listen to him. His cooking is fantastic.” she praised. “He could probably give that Chef Ramsey a few lessons.”

Jane, who’d just taken a drink, thought that was the funniest thing ever and snorted her drink out of her nose, the alcohol burning her nostrils.

“Ha! Ow that burns!”

Jason was attentive to her needs and helped her clean up before Brock continued.

“Part of the reason I am here now, is because like most couples we had our dark times. I did some things that were both stupid and foolish, and I had lost her at one point.” He looked at Pandora then, staring into her eyes and she felt she could happily drown in them. His voice was solemn as he spoke. “I know I am not perfect, and that I need to do my best to keep her happy. I never want to have that feeling of being alone again. Life just wasn’t the same without her. So I chased her to Hawaii, and fought to have her back in my life.”

That actually made her flush. “Brock, none of us are perfect and we’re bound to make mistakes. Our problem was we ran away from each other, instead of talking it out. But you being here now…it’s enough.”

He bent close and whispered for her to hear.

“I will rejoice in your laughter, and kiss away all your tears. Now and forever, Pandora.”

She looked up, caught once again by the sincerity of his gaze.

“Forever is a long time, Brock. But I want to give us a chance again.” she stated, pressing a palm to his cheek before pressing her lips to his in a gentle and loving kiss, pouring every ounce of emotion she could into it.

“Oh they are so cute!” Jane enthused as she watched the young lovers professing their true feeling for each other with soft whispers. Jane took out her phone and scooted round the booth and squealed. “SELFIE TIME!” She made a gesture for Jason to scoot around the other side so that the four of them would all be in the frame.

“MONKEY UNDIES!” Jane squealed as Jason held up his fingers behind Pandora’s head. Brock wearing a charming smile, as Jane stuck her tongue out the left side of her mouth. They would have had to be the oddest looking bunch you had seen. Brock couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the end result.

“Look, Pan has rabbit ears.”

“JA-SON! You do that?”

“Uh huh!”

Brock had to wonder what Pandora thought of the madness in the middle of a crowded restaurant. Jane swore blind it was the cocktail that made her do it. Before you knew it she was posting it on ever social network under the sun, and getting a lot of likes and comments.

The waiter came by again to take their meal orders, as Brock kissed the top of Pandora’s head.

“Are you ever going to want to go back to Seattle?” He asked.

There was a lot waiting for them at home. Many unsettled issues, and in particular, Simone. Brock wasn’t about to broach the subject, not at dinner. This was a time for relaxing and enjoying the company of good friends. Jason then piped up and asked Brock.

“So…what you into, big guy? Aside from Pandora here.”

Jason winked at Pandora, as he waited for Brock to answer.

“Aviation. I fly jets mostly. Single passenger or twin jets for the air force.”

Jason was pretty impressed. “Must keep you away from home a lot.” that was a pretty accurate observation, and Brock nodded. “True…but I have more reason now than before to try and stay at the base, if i can help it.” He gave Pandora’s hand a squeeze cause he meant to try and be around more for her.

To say the dinner had been interesting would have been a gross understatement. The four of them kept up a steady stream of conversation all through dinner, never once feeling awkward or leftout at any time during their feast. Jane went as far as to squash the four of them together to take a picture with her phone, before uploading it to social media outlets. Pandora rolled her eyes when she saw that Jason had made bunny ears behind her head.

They bonded over food and became friends over a shared desert, a chocolate and banana pineapple pie with vanilla ice cream.

Brock had asked Pandora at one point if she was going back to Seattle. She nodded in reply.

“I catch a flight out tomorrow morning at 10. This has been a wonderful vacation, but I miss my job. Cecil is probably foaming at the mouth waiting for me to get back.” she admitted. She leaned in close so that Jason and Jane wouldn’t hear her next words. “Brock, I know things are good between us now, and that we still have to deal with Simone…but…” she sighed then, oddly nervous – out-of-character for her, “…I can’t live in your apartment. It’s just…it’s lovely…but I’m not comfortable there.” she admitted.

Hotel Dining Room

It was no secret that Brock knew how Pandora felt about living in the Carrendar house apartments. She hated it, and before he had even come to Hawaii, before the fight, he had already started on plans to work out an arrangement that was going to be better for everyone involved. Taking out his phone, he silently swiped his finger over it till he came up to a picture of something that was bound to catch her attention.

Finding it, he said quietly back to her.

“I have something I want to show you.”

He placed the phone down in front of her, and on it she would have seen the picture of a quaint two story house out in the burbs. It was a classic style, with everything bar a white picket fence. it was the kind of house you raised children in. It was the kind of house that you would call home.

“It’s….yours. I bought it for you a while back. Just needs to be moved into. If you like it, that is.”

Jane was eager as ever in her seat, wondering what was on the phone that had the pair fascinated and in such a quiet chat.

“What’s on the phone, Brocky?”

Jason took her hand and said. “It might be something personal.”

It was hard to tell by judging by the look on Pandora’s face. Would she like this house? Would she be upset he actually bought her one?

Everyone sat at the table and waited to hear what she had to say.

In response, Brock pulled out his phone and quickly swiped it to a picture. She watched him, curious about what he was searching for.

“I have something I want to show you.” he murmured, setting the phone down in front of her. On his screen, there was a picture of a beautiful two-story home.

“It’s….yours. I bought it for you a while back. Just needs to be moved into. If you like it, that is.”

Pandora looked from the photo to Brock and back again, hardly daring to believe what her eyes were showing her.

“You…you bought me a house? Brock! I…Oh my-!” Pandora was so speechless she couldn’t even speak. She chuckled, her eyes brimming with tears and her voice husky with emotions she couldn’t even find names for. Her hand was pressed against her rapidly beating heart as she looked back at him.

“I love it!” was all she could think to say. “Thank you.” she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tight, tears slipping silently down her cheeks. She’d always dreamed of owning her own home, and now that dream had been made real by the man sitting beside her. She drew back to look at him. “Would you…live in it…with me? If you want to…I mean…doesn’t mean we’re getting married or anything…” She wondered what his response to that would be. She just couldn’t see herself living alone in a house like that. It needed to be shared with someone she loved and she thought of no one better then Brock.

Jane and Jason were watching what was happening on the other side of the booth with wide smiles – Jason slipping an arm around Jane, who was blowing her nose on a napkin. Seeing Pandora so happy with someone was worth so much. If anyone deserved happiness it was Pandora. Brock’s face lit up at Pandora’s answer, that she loved the house and then hugged him so tight that he gasped. She sure had it in her when it counted.

“You’re most welcome.” Brock replied as Pandora finally let him go. The next part made him chuckle however. Would he want to move in.

“If you don’t mind a trail of dirty clothes to the hamper. The odd game of night poker with the boys. Might need a man cave for a pool table. My pinball machine collection. Oh, and my favorite band posters.”

He didn’t say anything about the marrying part, cause he already knew her thoughts on that.

“Living in sin has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” Brock said, pressing his lips to her forehead as Jane burst into tears.

“This is better than Days of our Lives.”

Pandora’s enSuite Bathroom

Her invite had its intended result as he quickly followed her into the bathroom. He leaned against the frame of the door as she untied her robe and let it fall to the floor before his hungry gaze. She smirked when he gasped, a natural reaction to her nudity as she moved to turn on the taps. She tested the warmth of the water before stepping in, feeling the heat seep into her bones. She gave off a pleased sigh and felt, more then saw when he stepped in behind her. She looked at him over her shoulder, seeing the bar of soap and sponge in his hand.

“Can I wash your back?” he asked. She nodded once, pulling her wet hair over one shoulder.

She had missed this, she sighed to herself as his warm hands roamed over her back. She dropped her head with a slight moan as his fingers massaged and teased her skin. It felt really good, he felt really good.

Pandora’s enSuite Bathroom

Brock watched her nod as she moved her hair over one shoulder and gave him clear access to wash her back. The sponge was extra soapy as he set down the bar on the soap holder and started to work on her shoulder with the sponge in one hand and his fingers massaging her other shoulder. The water sprayed over them both and he turned her side on so it didn’t splash into her eyes. The mirrors in the bathroom soon fogged up from the heat that was coming from the shower, but the real heat between them was only just beginning. With her dropping her head, she exposed on side of her neck. So smooth and curved, Brock bent down to press his lips to the nape before rising back up to continue to wash her back.

Full strokes down her spine all the way to the top of her ass cheeks, then back up again. His fingers working her as though she was a cello. Water splattered across the pair, hot liquid trails that seeped down their skin. Both glistening in the artificial light of the bathroom.

Once her back was truly lathered he reached around with the sponge in his right hand and pulled her up against his hardened chest. His free hand moved around to cup one of her breasts whilst the other teased the other breast with the barest of touches from the soapy sponge. His breath would be felt on the top of her head, water dripping from his chin. Brock started to move his hips to be pressed to the cheeks of her ass, as his left hand kneaded her breast. So much for washing.

She felt the press of his lips to the nape of her neck and she couldn’t help but smile at the tender gesture. The heat of the bathroom didn’t even compare to the heat that was slowly rising between the two of them, as it should have always been. She mentally shook herself from the bad thoughts that were threatening to encroach. He was here, with her now and that’s all that mattered.

His hands mapped her body, his familiar touch sending shivers all through her. Once finished with her back, he reached around and pulled her against him, the fine hairs of his chest becoming soaked with the lather that was still present on her back. The hand not holding a sponge reached up to cup a breast, while he used the sponge to lightly caress the other. The dual sensations caused a slight moan to escape her lips, her head dropping back to his shoulder. He pressed his hips against her and she could feel his silken length pressing between the cheeks of her ass, his hands still kneading and pinching her breasts.

“Brock.” she moaned heatedly, her arms moving up to wrap around his neck as he continued to lightly massage her skin. Despite the water trailing over them, she could feel her thighs becoming slick with her own body’s emmissions. This is what he did to her. Always wanting, ready for him at any time.

Now the silhouettes of the couple are barely able to be seen as the glass fogs up with only tear like streaks of water that run down the length. Within the glass walls, Brock is now moving his beloved ever closer. His hand lets the sponge simply fall away when she places her arms up and around his neck – arching her back so she is tight against his chest. His fingers move to her neck then chin as they share a kiss that reaffirms their bond. The husky tone of the moan that erupts from Brock would be all too familiar. Their bodies already slick from the suds, was now showing the signs of pre from both Brock and Pandora. Even after a night of passion, their bodies always hungered for more of the other.

“Pan..” he breathed, taking in her luxurious feel,as his hand ventured ever lower and then delved between the sweet folds that were already richly coated. It was oh so easy to fall – to let himself be swept away in the moment. His slick shaft now sliding between the globes of her ass. He was now letting out a hungered panting as he bent his knees slightly. Keen to have her any which way.

His hand traveled down the front of her body and she jerked in his embrace as his fingers slipped with accurate familiarity between her thighs. She released her mouth from his with a passionate cry as his fingers manipulated her dewey folds.

She bent forward, her palms slapping against the wall of the shower with an echo. She gave him a sultry look over her shoulder as she ground her bottom against him. This was no longer a game. Her body was craving his in the worst way.

“I’ve missed you…so much.” she whispered.

Delicate whispers almost drowned out by the spray of water that rained over the lovers who were so close to reconnecting their bond. A push back with her rounded buttock only brought them closer together. She craved his attentions as much as he wanted to show her his affections. The sweet shape of her back now presented to Brock, he brought a hand up to press to the glass, while the other reached around to cup her breast, as though locking himself onto her, while steadying himself with the wall of glass. His thickened shaft gleaming as it pushed up and under her – finding her warm nether lips. At first he started with a gentle rocking, that moved his hips in time with hers. She would hear the audible grunt come from his lips as his girth passed back and forth teasing her and himself with her dew soaked flesh.

“Mine..” The word came out hard as he forced himself inside her, his fingers clutching tight to her breast. Deeper he went till their bodies were hard pressed to the other. Slowly he would pull back out, and then his head lowered to nip her shoulder and neck as he plunged back in. A hand hard to the glass slid slightly as he struggled to keep it there.

Re: (RP) Hawaii

His hand slapped the glass right above hers, startling her for but a moment. His other hand slid around her body to cup her breast once more. She’d forgotten he had a fascination for them. She felt the press of his thick shaft rubbing against her, teasing them both with his actions. She dropped her head between her shoulders, her wet hair draped like a dark curtain in her face. She heard his gasp above her, teasing a smirk from her lips.

And then…

“Mine.” he growled as he thrust into her, his fingers squeezing her breast in a near painful grip. He did not stop his deep press until he was fully seated within her body. She could feel herself throbbing around his turgid length, as if her body was trying to memorize the thickness and length of him once again. He drew back slowly, prolonging the pleasure building between them before his head lowered to leave love bits at her shoulder and neck, plunging back in with a swiftness that left her gasping in pleasure.

“Yours.” she managed to say before thinking became an impossibility as his scent surrounded her in pleasure and pain. No other man had ever come close to making her feel what she was feeling at that moment. No other man could drive her to such distraction. He broke her heart and by coming after her, and sincerely apologizing before he claimed her as his once again, he put her heart back together again.

She reached back to grasp his hip, feeling the play of muscles as he pushed against her, a particularly deep thrust causing her to feel dizzy. Her cry of passion echoed around the room, bouncing off the walls as the shower continued to run.

Joined body, mind, heart and soul once again, their love was rekindled in that steamy Hawaiian bath.

Brock had almost forgotten how incredibly tight Pandora was and he found himself gasping and crying “Oh God” nearly every time he thrust into her. It was making him light headed and certainly his knees were trembling. He even buried his face into her neck as he plunged into her, only to pull out and then reach for her shoulder to turn her around. Brock wanted to look into her eyes. See the changing expressions on her face. The dark yellow of his eyes would bore into hers as he would pick her up by the sweet globes of her ass and then push her back to the glass wall of the shower.

He stole hungry kisses from her as he took her again – forcing her body up the wall with a audible squelch of her skin against the glass pane. Brock only broke the kisses to rest his forehead to hers, grunting and panting hard as he built up his speed. She would feel his thickness thrusting into her – filling her and touching her in a place no other would dare go.

“I’m gonna cum.” he growled, pushing her harder against the glass. You had to think this shower was taking a pounding. His lips covered her own as he started to stiffen and she could feel him thicken inside of her. His chest expanded as he held in his breath, to savor this moment as he finally released. The feeling euphoric as he filled her womb with his seed.

“PAN!” He cried as he tipped his head back and dug his fingers into her bare shoulders.

Re: (RP) Hawaii

Bathroom

Brock’s steady pace was nearly her undoing as she could feel herself getting dangerously close to falling apart in his arms. He must have felt the same way because he was trembling behind her, holding her tightly to him and had even pressed his face into her neck.

Something had fundamentally changed between them.

Just when she thought she was going to explode, he pulled away. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was nearly weak in the knees and panting hard, she would have been offended by this. She felt his hands on her shoulders turning her to face him and the look she saw on his face made her visible shake. His eyes were nearly black with desire and lust.

He grabbed her by the ass and hauled her upwards, pressing her back against the wet glass of the shower door with a squelching sound. His mouth was busy devouring hers, sucking the very air from her body and making her dizzy with need.

He thrust into her again as he released her mouth, only to press their foreheads together as he built up speed.

This was it. She was so close already. Her cries of passion, interspersed with nips and bites to his neck and shoulders, her legs wound tightly around his thrusting hips.

“I’m gonna cum.” she heard him growl, pushing her so hard into the glass, she had a brief thought of it breaking.

“Yes…oh please….please…Oh God! BROCK!” she cried, her orgasm startling a cry from her as she felt him go impossibly thick and large within her.

“PAN!” Brock’s echoing shout sounding very loud to her ears as his head fell back, his fingers digging deeply into her shoulders hard enough to leave bruises. She didn’t really care about that.

She clung to him like a limpet, her entire body shaking with emotions long thought dead. She was unaware that tears were falling from her eyes, blending in with the water from their shower as she pressed her face to his neck, inhaling the scent of the soap they’d been using and his own unique scent.

“I love you.” she whispered over and over again, unsure if he was hearing the hidden message beneath the words.

Please don’t hurt me again…I don’t think I could take it if you did…

Re: (RP) Hawaii

Bathroom

Even though they were both wet and the shower was still running, Brock stepped out carrying his beautiful Pandora. Holding her to him, he got into the bedroom. With one hand he withdrew a large bath sheet and threw it on the bed, so as not to let the covers get wet from their bodies. Brock lay Pandora down on the bed, where he joined her and this is where he became the tender lover that she would have remembered. He just wanted to hold her, see the beauty in her face. To kiss away the tears that she shed from the joy of the release.

Stolen kisses became longer as his fingers traced across her body as though mapping her out in his mind. He would reach behind him for a towel, then start to pat it down upon her skin, all the while his eyes would find hers. He was so happy to be back in her arms. Relieved to be given a second chance with the woman he adored above all others. Brock would strive to be the man she needed, the one that would keep her heart from breaking again. He knew she couldn’t take it again.

“You are my heart, Pandora.”

He meant this that they shared the one heart, for he could not bare to live without her either. Brock’s mind raced through all the painful memories and the fact that she was willing to let him be with her again, was a true blessing. Brock nipped at her earlobe and whispered sweet nothings – his hot breath sure to sear her skin. He didn’t want to overdo it with the affection, but he couldn’t help express himself this way. In the shower he had shown a dominance that he had been able to perform before, and the cries that she released showed that she had enjoyed every moment. She wanted to be treated as his woman, to be held and adored, but not showing any sign of weakness. He learnt his lesson….and well.

“If I don’t stop myself, I may take you again.” he uttered with a dark growl.

Suite 104 – Bed

Despite their previous activities, Brock held on to Pandora with little effort as he stepped from the shower. Not that she minded. He carried her to the bed, placing a large bath towel in place to keep them from soaking the bed before laying her down gently and joining her. His gentleman came out to play as he kissed away her tears that she had shed while they were in the shower.

He continued peppering kisses to her face and lips, each touch lingering longer and longer as his fingers roamed over her body. She sighed as each touch of his skin upon hers electrified her body, making her relax farther into his arms. He grabbed a secondary towel and began to dry her skin, his caresses gentle and loving.

He drew back to stare into her eyes and she could see in them that he was very serious about them this time around. No more lies, no more deceptions. He loved her deeply and he would strive to do whatever it took to keep her in his life.

“You are my heart, Pandora. he breathed. She heard his message loud and clear.

I would rip out my own heart and stomp it flat before I ever hurt you again.

She reached out to touch the tender scars gracing his cheek and neck.

“So much pain…” she whispered. She leaned upward and pressed a tender kiss over the bandage still gracing his right cheek. In turn he leaned in and nipped at her earlobe and neck, whispering sweet words into her ear, his breath leaving paths of heat along her skin. She moaned and gasped beneath him, his body moving sensuously over hers.

“If I don’t stop myself, I may take you again.” he growled against her skin, the vibrations making her quake.

“Now why would you deny us that pleasure?” she murmured, tracing her tongue along the outer shell of his ear.

Suite 104

Brock and Pandora never left her hotel room as planned. They spent the whole day in bed, simply enjoying each other’s company and reaffirming the bond between them. It felt right to Pandora.

She finally remembered they were meeting Jason and Jane for dinner in the hotel’s dining room when she glanced outside and saw the sun was beginning to set. She didn’t want to leave Brock’s arms after the struggle they went through to get back to where they were before “The Simone Incident”, as she was calling it, but she wanted to see how Jane really was after her so-called wife ditched her.

“We need to get ready for dinner.” she sighed as she lay snuggled in his arms in her bed. “I imagine you’ll need to go back to your own room to shower and change.”

She reluctantly left his arms and the bed, padding naked to the bureau holding her clothes to pick out something nice to wear for dinner.

Suite 104 – Pandora’s

Brock had been leaning up against the head board while he had Pandora in his arms with her head resting into his chest. She was not terribly comfortable with leaving the bed, since the bond they had reaffirmed was one she simply never wanted to break again. But, dinner had been arranged with Jason and Jane so they really needed to get a move on. Watching Pandora slide out of bed, he himself got out the other side, and got dressed hastily since if he was going to get ready for dinner properly, he would need to go up to his own suite.

“Pan, I’ll meet you at the restaurant, okay?”

Now there was a reason that he said this but he wasn’t about to divulge it right then and there. He then quietly exited the room closing the door behind him gently.

In the next door suite, Jane was going through her suitcase of what to wear. The newest couple on the block had spent the last two days in bed, so it was about time they came up for air. Sadly, Jane had no money to go buy anything new to wear, since her horrid ex had wiped out her bank accounts. She did have a sweet cocktail dress in yellow however, and was heard singing in the bathroom as she got herself ready. For the remainder of the holiday Jane agreed to keep her spirits up, since Jason had assured her that they would get her money back when they returned to Seattle.

Coming out of the bathroom, Jane twirled before Jason, who was just doing up his tie. Seeing her with that effervescent smile had him grin back at her.

“You look enchanting.” He uttered, crossing the floor and kissing her forehead when she stopped twirling around.

“And your tie is crooked. Here, let me help.” Jane was very good at doing up ties, as her father always needed help with his. Once it was done she gave the tie a pat. “You think Panda is ready?” The cheery blonde chirped as she grabbed her clutch.

Jason chuckled as he watched her get ready to leave. “Well, the endless thudding on the wall stopped, so I dare say she is getting ready now.”

~SNORT!~ “Oh myyyy. ~giggle~ You’re right!”

The two then left the apartment to head to the restaurant.

Suite 104

Brock was in complete agreement and stated that he would meet her down in the dining room before he dressed and left her to her devices.

She stared at the empty bed before turning away with a sigh. So much change. Good and bad.

Nothing in the bureau was appealing for a dinner with her lover and her friends so she moved to the closet to see what was hanging there. Spotting something appropriate for dinner she quickly laid it out before ducking in the shower for a thourough wash. As much as she loved having Brock’s scent all over her body, it would not do to go to a dinner smelling like she’d spent the whole day in bed.

She took her time washing her hair and body and once she was out of the shower, she put on her favorite lotion before she brushed and dried her hair until it gleamed in the light. Slipping into a matching colored thong, she then put on the dress she’d chosen to wear, before slipping on the bracelet Brock had given her some time ago. She added a pair of diamond earrings before slipping into a pair of black suede heels.

Giving herself the once over, she pronounced herself ready and took up her clutch bag, leaving a single light on in the room before she slipped her keycard in her bag and left the room. She wondered how Brock would react to seeing her in another color other then black.

Kahala Hotel and Resort, Oahu – Dining Room

She was the first to arrive and caught the attention of the maitre’d.

“Good evening, Ms LaRue. Just yourself this evening?” he smiled.

“No, there will be four of us. I’m just waiting for them to join me.”

“Would you care for a booth or a table?” he asked. She thought about it for a moment. A table would give them space, but with the way both she and Brock were feeling at the moment, a booth would be better.

“Booth, please.” she nodded.

“I will get that ready for you while you wait for your dinner guests.”

“Thank you.” She smiled as he wandered away. She turned in time to see Jason and Jane coming up the hall, hand in hand. Jane looked delightful in a yellow dress, her cheeks glowing. Pandora attributed that glow to the man standing beside her. They really were cute together.

“Hi guys.” she smiled, hugging them both when they stopped before her. “Jason, looking good there. And Jane, you look spectacular.”

Kahala Hotel and Resort, Oahu – Dining Room

Jane squealed when Pandora said she looked spectacular. “I know!” she enthused and gave Jason’s arm a squeeze as she continued. “And I have the perfect accessory – Jason. You know, he came five times last night.” People at one of the nearby tables started to choke on their lobster and a waiter actually had to perform the Heimlich maneuver to get the man to dislodge the stuck piece of seafood in his throat. Jason saw the incident, then looked at Jane sheepishly as he leaned to her ear. “I thought it was four.” Jane slapped his arm playfully, totally oblivious to the mayhem she was causing. “It was five…I counted.” She then flashed Pandora a cheeky grin.

“Soooooo, where is this man that kept the paintings shaking in our apartment last night. I swear I thought he was going to ram that headboard right through the wall. Who are you dating? Superman?”

More laughter came from surrounding tables, as Jason tried to show a very curious Jane to her seat. “Come on Barbara Walters, you can get the exclusive in the privacy of our booth.”

At that moment, Brock entered the dining room. He was dressed in a full suit, but the scars on his face were clearly visible. You could see he was a touch nervous with the other couple seeming to have gathered a lot of attention, for which he wasn’t sure. All he knew was that Pandora was a vision. Dressed immaculately in a sheer purple gown, his eyes swept over her svelte form before coming to a stop at her eyes. The love was there, as it had been all through the night. He crossed the floor and took her right hand, pulling her towards him – where he kissed her lips softly. Letting her go only for a moment, he looked to Jason and Jane, who were now fascinated with Pan and Brock.

“I’m Brock Carrendar, its a pleasure to meet you both.” He offered his hand to Jason to shake, and Jason stood up momentarily to do this, while Jane’s jaw dropped.

“What happened to your face, Brock?”

She had dropped one hell of a clanger, and Brock subconsciously raised a hand to one of the larger scars and said simply.

“Got hurt…playing with fire.” He then gave Pandora a sideways glance, before squeezing her hand to reassure her it was alright.

Jane always caused a commotion everywhere she went and tonight was no exception. She praised Jason’s sexual prowess several times, causing many to laugh and one poor soul to choke on his dinner. Pandora just stared at the woman like she had grown a second head. But she was highly amused, especially since it put a blush on Jason’s cheeks. She grinned.

“Five times, huh?” she snickered. Then Jane turned the interrogation onto Pandora, wanting to know who it was that kept their wall knocking the whole night and day.

“Um…well…” How did she explain that she had been sleeping with a man, who by all rights, shouldn’t have even been allowed near her.

“Come on Barbara Walters, you can get the exclusive in the privacy of our booth.” Jason grinned, coming to Pandora’s rescue once again. What was it about the man and damsels in distress? She chuckled as she followed them to their booth. She didn’t see Brock until he was standing beside her and her breath caught in her throat. He looked immaculate in the suit he’d chosen to wear…and oh so delicious. She gulped, feeling her body heat up for a different reason.

He pulled her towards himself, pressing a kiss to her lips that left her feeling a bit light headed, as tender as it was. When he stepped back, she turned her head, afraid of what she would see. Jason and Jane looked as if they were about to give her the third degree. Brock introduced himself at that point, shaking Jason’s hand.

And once again, Jane let no filter cover her words as she asked Brock what happened to his face.

He looked at Pandora, squeezing her hand in comfort.

“Got hurt…playing with fire.” was all he said. She looked at Jason, who had a million questions if the look in his eye was anything to go by. She gave a minute shake of her head, letting him know that he could interrogate her to his heart’s content when they were alone. She slid into the booth, settling next to Jane. She turned to Brock and leaned in to whisper into his ear.

“I will be forever sorry I hurt you.” She pressed a light kiss to his scarred cheek.

Kahala Hotel and Resort, Oahu – Dining Room

Brock tried to play off what had happened with an off the cuff remark, that had Jane even more curious than before. There was the double meaning to his words, and Jane had to wonder exactly what happened. She noticed how close Pandora was with this man, and she was close to going into interrogator mode, when she had her attention diverted by Jason.

“Jane, hun. Would you like a cocktail or a wine first?”

Jason had already seen the look that Pandora had given him, that she really didn’t want a lot of questions as to why Brock looked the way he did. Curbing Jane’s natural curiosity was going to take some skill on his part. Handing her the cocktail menu, Jane made a squeal and then started to chuckle at some of the names of the various cocktails on offer. With her distracted, Jason spoke to both Brock and Pandora.

“I have to admit, I am happy to see you here with Pandora, Brock. I know she was a bit of a sad case when she arrived at the hotel.”

Jason knew a lot more about Pandora than even Brock would be aware of. Taking a sip of water, Brock replied. “Well, I hope the end of her holiday will be a lot better than the start.” He took her hand and squeezed it. “We have a lot of making up to do.”

At this, Jane poked her head up from behind the menu.

“Hope the wall can withstand that….let alone the head board.”

Brock chuckled lightly, and replied “Do they have a cocktail called ‘Sex on the beach’?” Again, with the double meanings and he wiggled his eyebrows, which only gave cause for Jane to squeal again. “They DO!” She then sung out on the top of her lungs to the nearest waitress. “WE ALL WANT SEX ON THE BEACH!” One thing was for certain, that when God made Jane…he smashed the mold.

Hotel Dining Room

Pandora was so grateful for Jason’s distraction she could have kissed him for his ingenuity. Jane was busy with the wine list, which kept her from asking questions about Brock. Pandora was simply not ready to reveal all to her.

Jason spoke to Brock about Pandora’s depression when she had first arrived in Hawaii. She had to agree. She had not been herself when she had arrived.

“I was…in a bad place.” she admitted. “Jason helped me through some of it.”

Brock took her hand within his and gave it a comforting squeeze. “Well, I hope the end of her holiday will be a lot better than the start. We have a lot of making up to do.”

Of course, leave it to Jane to make light of the whole situation in her own unique way.

“Hope the wall can withstand that….let alone the head board.”

Pandora looked at Brock, a wicked grin on her face. “My bed back home has held up pretty well. And it sits beneath a window.”

Brock chuckled and decided to get Jane onto a different topic.

“Do they have a cocktail called ‘Sex on the beach’?” And Jane, in her own bubbly way, looked for and found the cocktail with unerring accuracy, screaming for the whole restaurant to here that they all wanted sex on the beach.

Pandora broke out in a laugh and looked at Brock.

“We might have to try that…but I’ve heard it’s hard to get sand out of hidden crevices.” she snickered, not the least bit embarassed by Jane’s outburst.

Suite 104

The next morning….

As the morning sunrise came up over the blue waters of the Pacific, its warm rays caressed across Pandora’s bare skin. She came awake slowly, blinking in the dawning light. She felt strangely relaxed, her body lucid, her mind content. There was a warmth around her waist and she looked down to see an arm, not her own, draped across her stomach. She turned her head and saw Brock, still deeply asleep.

In the light of this new day, the wounds on his face, the bandage on his cheek were much more prominent and she grew sad that she had been the one to cause it. Sometimes she thought what she could do was both a blessing and a curse.

But they had made inroads to repairing their fractured relationship. He’d been so gentle and loving with her the night before. It was as if he was imprinting himself upon her skin until she felt cocooned by his very soul. Their lovemaking had taken on a poignant quality that she’d never experienced before in any sort of life…as if it were their first time together all over again, only not as explosive.

She watched him sleep, knowing that the events that took place the night before had severely exhausted him and she didn’t want to disturb his rest. She carefully extracted herself from his embrace, pulling the sheet further up his body to keep in their combined warmth a little bit longer. She slipped on her robe, securing the belt over her nudity before she moved to the phone to order breakfast for the both.

She ran a brush through her tangled hair as she stared out of the doors to the balcony, watching the sun move further up into the sky. There was a light knock at the door and she went to answer it, moving to allow the hotel server to bring in their breakfast.

“Where would you like this, Ms LaRue?” the woman asked in a soft voice, having seen Brock still asleep in the bed.

“Out on the balcony would be great. Thank you.” Pandora smiled. The woman nodded and moved to set up the table for them. Pandora tipped her $20 as she left, telling her she would leave the cart in the hall beside her door for when they were finished.

Pandora poured two cups of coffee, remembering that he liked his straight before carrying them back to the bed. She eased in slow so not to spill a drop, setting hers on the side table before waving his beneath his nose.

“Good morning.” she murmured, waiting for him to wake.

Suite 104

A New Dawn.

Filtered light streamed through the sheer curtains that hung either side of the balcony door way that was in Pandora’s bedroom. Laying still beneath the sheet was a sleeping Brock who after a long night that had seen so much happen to the couple and then hours of love making to reaffirm their commitment was thoroughly spent. He barely stirred as Pandora slipped from beneath the sheets and went to answer the door. A light grunt followed by the sound of his foot moving beneath the cotton sheet was the only sounds to emerge from the bedroom, while Pandora showed the hotel server where to put their breakfast trays.

The strong aroma of freshly brewed coffee would be all it took to rouse Brock from his slumber. His heavy lids finally opening to reveal those same golden eyes that he had the night before. The bandaging that Pandora had applied the night before covered the worst of his wounds and the weeping thankfully had stopped.

“Good morning.” The sweet sound of Pandora’s voice brought a crooked smile from Brock as the cup of coffee was waved close to his face. He slowly eased himself up in bed as the cotton sheet fell away to reveal his scarred torso and that fine line of hair that trailed down beneath the remaining sheet. He took the cup graciously from Pandora, but only after planting a soft kiss on her lips. She looked radiant this morning, with her hair brushed till it shined, and the soft expression of a woman who was now truly relaxed in his company.

“Morning Love.” Brock’s tone had a distinct gruffness to it as he brought the cup to his lips and blew on it as the coffee was still quite hot. “Have you been up long? Pretty sure I passed out hours ago.” He had been dead to the world through till the rise of the morning sun, having held Pandora for much of the night.

“How are you this morning?” He was naturally curious to see how Pandora slept and if there was anything pressing on her mind. You could see there was a different look to Brock, aside from the scars and the change in his eyes. Something more. He was focusing everything on her. As it should be.

Out of the balcony you could hear giggling and then a high pitch voice sing out.

“PAN!!!…JASON AND I HAD SEX!!!!”

Yes, the love birds in room 105 were up.

Suite 104

She smiled into the light kiss he graced her with. He sat up, the sheet falling away from his body and she finally saw the extent of the damage she caused. She simply stared, answering his question in a faint voice. “I’ve been up about a half hour. You were pretty shot so I let you sleep longer.”

“How are you this morning?”

Her gaze moved up to his face, catching his golden eyes looking at her, a remnant of the night before, she was sure of that. One would wonder why she wasn’t frightened of him? He did try to kill her, and he was a demon. The truth of it was…Pandora was a very unique individual. She had seen and done much in her life and anything strange or unusual, usually rolled off of her like water on a duck. It didn’t bother her that he was different. And being who he was, made him that much more special in her mind.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” she asked, reaching out to trace the deep scars on his chest with a gentle caress.

Before he could answer, there was a very familiar giggling coming from down the hall.

“PAN!!!…JASON AND I HAD SEX!!!!”

This was followed by male laughter and she heard Jason sing out, “Don’t believe a word she says!”

Pandora smirked and got to her feet, poking her head out the balcony doors and calling down the way.

“I’m pretty sure the whole hotel heard the two of you last night! I’m going to want details later! Let’s get together for dinner tonight!” she suggested before ducking back inside. She turned to see Brock watching her, a strange look in his eyes. “You’re staring.” she smiled.

Suite 104

Brock was staring. The way the sun’s rays illuminated Pandora’s form gave her an almost angelic glow about her. It was almost magical in a way and captivated him as he sat up in bed. Seeing her look back at him, Brock felt like he was the only man alive on earth…blessed to have her back in his life.

“I’m enjoying the view. It’s spectacular.”

He wasn’t referring to the view of the Hawaiian coast, but of his Pandora, his love. Setting down the coffee cup on the bedside table, he slid out from under the sheets, then padded around the bed till he came up to stand behind Pandora and place his arms around her waist. Brock drew her back into his chest whilst his chin nuzzled the top of her head. He was naked of course, having not bothered to dress yet…he had time for that. He had felt her fingers running through his scars earlier and whispered.“I’ll be alright, Love.” He didn’t want to worry her about his scars. In time the pain would go away. It was better to feel this, than to have a shattered heart.

Brock had heard the cry of the girl next door, followed by the sound of a man’s voice. “Friends of yours?” Naturally, he had no idea that Doctor Lumbard was next door, but he knew one thing. Whoever they were had sex. Very…rowdy sex.

Suite 105

Jason was rolling on the bed, covering his eyes as Jane bounced around the room, then ran over and dived on top of him. Her exuberance was incredible in the morning, having enough energy for the both of them. She grinned and then squealed. “Pan invited us for dinner!” Jason laughed as he toyed with her hair and said “Yes, and I think the whole hotel heard.”

Jane erupted into a fit of giggles and started to kiss him all over again, while on the night stand, the picture of Jason’s late wife….was smiling.

Suite 104

Pandora actually blushed when he referred to the view he was seeing. She instinctively knew he wasn’t talking about the ocean behind her. She watched him slide from beneath the sheet, naked and her breath caught in her throat as she saw the scar had gone all the way down to his thigh.

He wrapped her in his arms, whispering that it would be all right. It seemed as if he felt he deserved this reminder of what was nearly lost between them. She couldn’t fault him for thinking such things, but she wished she could take the scars away.

He spoke of Jason and Jane a few rooms over.

“Yeah. Um…Jason, Doctor Lumbard, you know. He showed up here the day after I did to honor his wife’s last wishes. He’s been a good friend to me these past few days. We talked about you, mostly.” she stated, looking up at him. “The woman, Jane was here for her honeymoon with her wife…turns out the woman is some kind of two-timing slut. Ran off with her ex-husband, left Jane here. I think she and Jason will be good for each other.”

She snuggled deeper into his warmth, listening to the steady beating of his heart.

“So much has changed. We’ve changed. And we’ve become stronger for it. I love you, Brock. Maybe this was supposed to happen for us to realize the depth of our feelings. But know this…” She pushed back a little to stare him in the eye, “You broke my trust once and it nearly killed me. Do it again…and the consequences…won’t be pleasant.”

Forgetting all about the couple next door for the moment, Brock listened to Pandora put in words exactly how she felt. Her love for him remained, but she acknowledged the changes. Very deep and emotional ones. But it is only through adversity and coming through the baptism of fire that you appreciate the other all the more. Brock felt that way now. His punishment was something that Pandora would see ever day and night, as his body showed this.

“You broke my trust once and it nearly killed me. Do it again…and the consequences…won’t be pleasant.”

“I know I did, and for what it is worth, I know I could not survive what we just went through again.” He meant every word of this, his eyes showing that golden glint.

Brock drew her into his embrace again and kissed her forehead in a tender way. Everything in the way he treated her was all the more gentle than it had ever been before, almost like he was afraid she would break in his arms. He wanted to take things slowly, not rushing her at all. Pacing. It wasn’t surprising really. He wanted last night to live on forever.

“I love you, Pandora.”

Heartfelt…and true these words were as he kept her within his gaze. He was now an open book, standing before her exposed. She only had to ask and he would speak his mind….be there for her. He learnt to listen.

She could hear the honesty and sincerity in his voice and she believed they had turned a corner. She was his, he was hers. As it should have been.

“I’m going to go shower while you finish your breakfast.” she smiled, reluctantly stepping out of his arms. “I’m going to do some site seeing today, maybe do some surfing.”

She gave him a look over her shoulder as she headed into the bathroom, one that couldn’t be mistaken for anything other then an invite to join her.

Would he take up the offer?

Suite 104

Feeling her draw herself out from his arms, he let his fall to the sides as Pandora mentioned she would have a shower while he finished his breakfast. He hadn’t really started it, but he knew there was something other than food that he wanted a lot more. For now at least while he had this chance, he didn’t want to let her out of his sight.

“I just lost my appetite…for food.”

Like a puppy, he followed along behind her (an over sized puppy), and when reaching the bathroom, he leaned against the door frame and stared as she went to disrobe. The gasp that left his lips would be automatic to see her in her natural state. The slip of fabric hitting the floor, as she would turn on the faucets to start the water running.

Seeing her step into the frosted glass cubicle, he reached for a bar of a soap and a small sponge before following her into shower. The steady stream of hot water burst across his skin, and while the wounds across his entire body were still raw, he endured the pain as he kept her in his gaze.

“Can I wash your back?” Brock asked, already lathering up the soap to the sponge.

The Beach

The sun had long set and yet the two of them had remained on the beach, sitting in the sand and staring out at the water. The ruined remains of their untouched dinner lay somewhere behind them, as each contemplated their roles in their relationship.

For Pandora, it was an eye-opening experience. How had a daughter she had never expected to have, come before her and give her the strength and hope she needed to forgive her man? And who exactly was Charlotte to Brock?

So many questions she had that she needed the answers to.

She looked up from where she had been resting her head on his shoulder, and saw the damage she’d caused him…the hurt and pain she had caused him. She reached up and shyly touched the scars along his face and jaw.

“I am so sorry about these. I wish there was something I could do to heal them.” she murmured, pressing a kiss to his bare shoulder. “But I understand so much now, why you wanted me to be that way with you.”

He remained quiet, didn’t look at her. Sighing, she got to her feet, dusting off her clothes. Her back was to him as she spoke once more.

“If that is what you want…all I can tell you is that I can try. I don’t like causing pain, I don’t like feeling dominate over someone else, stealing their free will. But I’ll try…for you.”

He still said nothing and she bowed her head.

“I’m staying at the Kahala Hotel, Suite 104…if you wish to talk more.” she added. “Good night, Brock.”

She strode back up the beach toward the hotel, leaving Brock with his thoughts. They still had some things to work through and she sincerely hoped he didn’t shut her out again. She was sure she would not survive a second time.

Re: (RP) Hawaii

The Beach

The waves continued to roll in with the white foam riding up the sand till almost touching Brock’s feet then ebbing away just as quickly. The night hadn’t gone according to play, not in the real sense. In a way he had a chance again, but in a way things would be different between them. Pandora saw what he truly was. Masked well beneath the glamorous facade that she had come to know, the hideous truth was exposed. The Beast. It was what he was. It was what his family were. It…was what his daughter would be. Though more a hybrid – one that held Brock and Pandora’s powers.

Brock’s punishment for his betrayal would forever more be seen. His face now disfigured and under certain light, his eyes had a sickly yellow hue. He was no longer…what women would consider attractive, not that he was ever vain about such things. The wounds were still raw, still fresh. Emblazoned upon his skin. His kind can heal such scars….but he chose not too. He felt the same way inside as he did outside. There would be no more lies…no more half truths. This was who he was. The path now taken would mean….he would have Hope. One way or another.

The young spider demon didn’t watch Pandora leave, for he knew which way she went. He needed a bit more time to gather himself before he would venture back to the hotel.

Pandora’s words washed over him, that she would try to be what he wanted…needed.It was what got them into the mess in the first place. Trying to achieve what came naturally for his kind. The women of his species were dominant. Charlotte was a perfect example of this. It was how it was. Brock had a lot to explain….and a lot of changes to make. He continued to watch the waves, till he pushed himself to standing and then headed back to the hotel. First, he would go to his room and change…then…face her.

Pandora’s apartment – Suite 104

There would be a knock at the door, as Brock stood outside dressed in a simple smart shirt and jeans. His hair still unkempt and that roguish look about him. One couple walked past him in the corridor, then whispered about his appearance. Brock didn’t comment but waited for Pandora to answer the door.

Once she did, he would walk in slowly till standing in the centre of the room. There was no mad embrace, no lover’s kiss. It was time to confess…to tell her everything.

Slowly he raised his gaze to hers.

“You probably have..a million questions. And I guess it would be only fair to let you ask them, but before you do, I need to explain…my behavior.” – he looked down a moment, and stared at the floor.- “The race my family is is known as Bebilith…demon spiders. I’m a demon.” He paused then looked up slowly. “We only change…to what you saw when threatened or…about to attack another.”

Taking a breath he then continued. “Our kind has a matriarch system. The…female is the dominant sex. Charlotte, my aunt is…the current Matriarch. She is the keeper and carer of the entire family. As I mentioned long ago, my mother died after childbirth from a virus. Ever since then Charlotte has played a key role in caring for our well being. It’s…why she came when she did….and it’s why she…had our daughter.”

Now was the tricky part. How did their daughter cross time?

“One of our abilities is to move from one plane of existence to another. Our…daughter can do it, like I can.”

“I should have explained…why…I asked you to…dominate me. It wasn’t cause I am some guy who is into kinks…I…experienced a need…that came from being what I am.” He sighed, for he knew her feelings on it. “I can fight..my own instinct if it means that you will have me again.”

What would she say?

Re: (RP) Hawaii

April 28, 2014 10:46PM

Suite 104

The walk back to her room was slow and steady as she became lost in her own thoughts. Would he come see her, as she hoped? Or would he need more time?

So many revelations made this night…and in space of a few hours. Life was certainly full of surprises.

Reaching her door, she was about to press the key into the lock when she heard something strange…a rhythmic thumping noise coming from the direction of Jason’s room. Frowning, she stepped away from her own door and moved down the hall. The noises were louder and they were definitely coming from his room. She reached a hand up to knock when she was startled from doing so by a sharp feminine cry coming from behind the door.

“Yes! Oh God, Jason!”

“Jane…oh fuck!”

Stunned and wondering what the hell went on between those two while she was away, she quietly crept away from the door and went to her own room, a wry smile on her face.

She stripped out of her dress and ducked into the shower to wash the grime and sand off of her body.

Once cleaned and dried again, she slipped into her nightie and then a short robe before she ran a comb through her damp hair. She had just finished doing that when there was a tentative knock on her door. Nervous, she set down the comb and got to her feet, approaching the door slowly.

She grasped the knob and took a deep breath before she opened it to see Brock standing on the threshhold. In the light of the room, the scars stood out in stark relief against his skin and yet he never looked more handsome. She stepped aside to allow him entry before closing the door.

He stood in the center of the room, not moving to embrace her, which she was slightly thankful for, given the chaotic nature of her thoughts. He seemed to be gathering himself before he finally brought his gaze to hers. She felt her heart sink as she took in the yellowish hue of one of his eyes. Was that her doing, or the result of his spider demon? She swallowed past the lump in her throat and waited for him to speak.

And speak he did, explaining to her who and what he was, his family geneology and how their daughter was able to come to this plane of existence. He even explained why he had wanted her to dominate him, it was how their society worked.

It went a long way to explaining why he had wanted her to be that way with him.

“I can fight..my own instinct if it means that you will have me again.”

She was silent for a few moments as she gathered her thoughts. But there was simply only one thing she could say.

“Why didn’t you tell me all this sooner, Brock? Did you think I wouldn’t understand? Leave you? Call you a liar? What?” There was no anguish or anger in her tone. It was genuine curiosity and concern. She really wanted to understand him more. If they had that, they would be able to move on. He would be able to hear the concern in her tone.

“Why didn’t you tell me all this sooner, Brock? Did you think I wouldn’t understand? Leave you? Call you a liar? What?”

Brock sighed and then he explained the truth from his perspective.

“I don’t know if you remember…but, you are the first real relationship I have had. I learnt from my brothers how women reacted to the …truth. Orson…he just is able to control himself I guess, either that or he is a total man whore.”

This might have brought some laughter from Pandora, maybe not.

“I tried to be how human men are….taking their ladies to dinner, lunches..cooking food…women like that, I think.”He was trying not to dig a hole too deep, but either way at least it was the truth. “I was afraid you wouldn’t understand if I acted like…I’m supposed too. It’s hard living as something you’re not..”

He rang his hands as he spoke, and then winced as one of the scars seemed to be weeping. Then came the horrible part of his confession. “Then when I went into Simone’s room…bathroom was littered with images of dominating…she..uhm…and, I don’t know what came over me.” it was probably dangerous ground on which to be treading, but he felt he needed to be heard.

You probably didn’t want to hear that….”

“I don’t know if you remember…but, you are the first real relationship I have had. I learnt from my brothers how women reacted to the …truth. Orson…he just is able to control himself I guess, either that or he is a total man whore.” he grinned, somewhat shyly at her.

Pandora couldn’t help herself. She chuckled at that. Having met Orson the one time, she got the sense he didn’t care what woman warmed his sheets so long as he had one to do so.

Brock took a deep breath and continued speaking; how he tried to be like a normal, mortal man – trying to do the things those men do, such as dates and cooking.

“I was afraid you wouldn’t understand if I acted like…I’m supposed too. It’s hard living as something you’re not..”

She watched his hands twist together and stared at him critically when one of the wounds along his cheek seemed to break open and begin weeping. If he didn’t take care of it, infection was sure to set in. She frowned and got to her feet as he continued speaking, going into the bathroom and getting the first aid kit the hotel left for their guests to use if needed. She returned to the room and took Brock’s hand, pushing him to sit upon her bed.

She let him continue talking as she poured some anticeptic upon a sterilized cloth.

“Then when I went into Simone’s room…bathroom was littered with images of dominating…she..uhm…and, I don’t know what came over me….You probably didn’t want to hear that….”

She dabbed at the wound on his face as she thought about what she would say.

“No…I didn’t want to hear about it…but I’m glad you told me.” she stated in a soft voice. “And I understand now…your instincts were calling to you. And she’s pretty domineering. Doesn’t excuse what you did, mind you. But I understand it. And Brock…” she turned his face so that she could see his eyes, “I do know what it’s like to try to be something you’re not. My mother tried to sell me out to her child-raping, drug-addicted husband. And I kept that secret deep within me for a long time. I tried to be the tough bitch everyone was used to seeing…but you…tore down the walls that I built like they were tissue paper. You made it seem so easy.” She ran her fingers through his hair, marvelling at its soft texture. “I think that’s when I realized that I was starting to love you. And I tried to hide that too.”

She taped a dry bandage over his face, after applying some first aid gel to keep the wound clean. It was the least she could do for causing his injuries. She didn’t know that he could have healed them with a thought. He did not move from her side and feeling empowered, she pressed a light kiss to his forehead.

Brock sat perfectly still as Pandora cleaned the wound. it stung each time she pressed the cloth against her skin. He didn’t speak as she accepted what he had told her. He had been hiding his true self for so long that he had forgotten what he was. The truth in a way was liberating. Brock’s eyes darted to hers and held them.

“The time apart from you taught me a lot. About myself, and all I had done wrong. Not just with you but with others. I let my anger lash out and…instead of being true, I made it worse.” As she pressed her lips to his forehead he closed his eyes, and a single tear fell. It rolled down over the cleaned wounds and through it.

“I could say I am sorry every day for the rest of my life….or I could be a better man, and step up like I should have.”He opened his sickly yellow eyes and whispered. “I just want to find my way back to you.”

A single light was on in the room, lending an almost intimate setting between the two of them. She drew back from her kiss to see a tear roll down his cheek, soaking into the bandage on his face.

“Brock…” she whispered, but he continued to speak as if he hadn’t heard her.

“I could say I am sorry every day for the rest of my life….or I could be a better man, and step up like I should have…I just want to find my way back to you.”

And just like that, his words freed her heart from the pain she had suffered for the past week. She got to her feet, returning the first aid supplies to the bathroom and disposing of what she had used. She didn’t return to his side right way. She moved to turn off the light, allowing the moon to provide all the light they needed.

She moved to stand between his spread legs, close enough that he could smell the lavendar lotion she used from her shower. She reached for the tie of her robe, slowly drawing it away from her body and allowing the material to slide down her arms. She caught it with one hand and tossed it away from her. She stood before him in a simple nightie. It wasn’t her usual black, but a nice floral pattern that had never been seen on her body, ever.

She spoke not a word and when it looked as if he wanted to say something, she gently pressed a finger to his lips and shushed him.

She reached for his hands and rested his palms on her shoulders, before dropping her own hands. She had just given him permission to touch her in any way he wanted.

Suite 104

A moon beam illuminated the beauty that was Pandora. In a light slip of fabric that was so soft and pretty. Flowers of spring woven into silk. No words left his lips for she had already silenced him with just a simple finger. Taking his hands and placing them upon her shoulders and then letting her hands fall free. His large calloused digits ran over the silky smoothness of her skin. So warm beneath his fingers. Her supple shoulders so rounded and he let his hands smooth over her gentle curves before bringing a hand back up to place behind her neck – fingers feeling their way through her hair. She smelt so wonderful; of lavender and this relaxed him further. Gently he pulled her towards him as he enjoyed what would be the first kiss that night of many. Lips pressed to hers as he savored her taste.

Brock could feel her surrender as she would return his kisses with her own. His other hand ran down her spine till resting upon her rounded globes, which he caressed lovingly. There was no rush..no burning need to be sated. Brock wanted to enjoy her…this single moment. For it was the beginning of their new found love. Brock would show her this night what true love was. He pledged his heart and soul to her at that moment. Never again to venture from her side.

Their love…was a love worth fighting for.

Erica’s car – On way to Vogue Office

~Countdown to Fashion Week show – 7 days~

The black stretch had pulled away from the curb outside the Escala apartments, with Simone and Erica safely inside. Simone had to admit, this sure beat the hell out of taking taxi’s around the city and she wasn’t in the mood to drive her own car to Erica’s office. Erica was already on her cell to her assistant – letting her know that they should be arriving at the office in about twenty minutes. Simone was reapplying her lipstick and making goose lips at her compact as Erica finally tapped out of the call. She was happy to see Simone coming back out of her shell after the whole mess with Branda (Erica’s pet name for the relationship of Brock and Pandora). Kristian was now nothing more than a faded memory and well Orson…he was around but had to go to back to the base.

“So much to do so much to do. I swear if this week doesn’t give me an ulcer from the stress it will be a miracle.”Erica patted her hair and then adjusted her dark glasses, as Simone put away her compact, then took out a pregnancy test kit stick. Erica stared at the stick as Simone waved it around lazily.

“What…what’s that for?” Erica asked, her face creasing with concern.

“To see if I am pregnant.”

“What?”

“You know….when you have unprotected sex and….yeah, I am just checking.”

Erica sat forward in her seat slightly and then mouthed the name “Brock?” Her bottom lip hung down as she waited with anticipation and ever few seconds glancing at the stick. Simone shrugged and made a very simple sound. “Mhm.”

Erica closed her eyes and shook her head. “For all that is holy, please let it be negative.” Erica crossed herself and pointed to the roof of the limo. “I’ll even start attending church.” This had Simone chuckle at the very idea of Erica going to church. “You’d get struck by lightning. I wouldn’t worry, I mean…he might have a low sperm count, who knows.”

This made the fashion editor slightly less worried, as the black limo finally pulled up at the Office. Simone simply dropped the pregnancy stick back in her bag and got out of the car as the driver opened the door. “Thank you…nice hat.” Simone said, pointing at the Driver’s cute cap, before trapsing after Erica, who was on the cell phone again. “We’re here…don’t panic. Let my 9 o’clock know.” Erica…ever the business woman strode into the building like she owned the place. On reaching the lift, they were greeted by a very familiar face.

“Raul? Raul Montego?” Erica took off her sunglasses, gobsmacked that the world reknowned male model was standing there, in the flesh. He reached for Erica’s hand and kissed it, with a kind of weird open mouth fish like style. Simone grimaced and could only imagine his drool going between Erica’s fingers. He was…slimy looking, but had edible hip bones.

“In…zee flesh.” Raul said with a pronounced spanish accent. He then cast his gaze at Simone, who was dressed to the nines.“My heart….it’z Zimone Jackson. I lovvvve your vork.” He went to take Simone’s hand and she whipped it away before he could get a grip. “Charmed.”

~Ping~

The lift doors opened and the trio stepped inside. Erica blinked and said. “Are you here to see an agent or having a cover done?” She was curious as to what he was doing in the building.

“No…I am zee star of your fashion….veek!”

As the doors closed, Simone was seen to mouth….“Fuck no!”

DownTown – Vogue Office : Seattle

Erica’s office

At the reception desk, Patty was busy fielding phone calls, as assistants from other departments were fluttering around like busy bees, pushing in racks of clothes into Erica’s office. Jack Peterson from marketing was issuing orders, and his assistant Toby was taking notes and shuffling behind him. It was truly a hive of activity and the moment the lift doors opened, you could hear the audible gasp and happy calls to see their boss Erica finally arrive. She would be swarmed by department heads all with swatches, photos, appointment books and more. Patty’s eyes lit up and she gave a thumbs up to see her boss. Her office had become panic central in the lead up to Fashion week. With so much riding on the publicity and promotional side with no expense spared, they had to put on a damn good show. One of the gentleman waiting was world renowned fashion photographer Giuseppe Populous. He spotted Raul Montego who was staring at Simone’s ass as she stepped out of the elevator, and let out a high pitch squeal.

“Rauuuuuuuuul?” Leaping up and clasping his hands together. He had a bit of a crush on the famous international model, and wasn’t at all afraid to show it off. Giuseppe pushed his way through the assistants and other staffers, to go and kiss Raul on both cheeks and embrace him in a very friendly hug. Simone saw this as her chance to leg it and get away from the lecherous Raul, who had already tried to touch her ass in the lift.

“Giuseppe, my bruther from the uther muther.” The two started speaking in Greek or Spanish, or…some language that Simone didn’t understand, with their arms flailing – doing magic fingers to express themselves. Simone was praying that there was some high chance that Raul was gay. But unfortunately for her, he wasn’t. Already he was pointing to Simone and trying to give Giuseppe some ideas on how he wanted to do a photo shoot with the leggy blonde to help promote Fashion week.

Simone ducked past a moving rack of clothes and then spirited into Erica’s office. The room was filled with famous designers, all making demands on Erica about how the show was going to proceed, who got top billing, who ran with the best models…lighting, music…it was a mad house, and Erica was handling it all like a pro. It was like watching Martha McKnuckle feeding chickens – throwing tit bits out to satisfy the ever clucking horde of well dressed and tempered designers. Simone went to the fridge and took out a bottle of champagne, cracking it open and finding a glass. This really wasn’t her scene, but she had to admit that the frenzy like atmosphere was kind of exhilarating.

That was until she felt that…familiar hand on her backside and the hot breath on her neck.

“Simmy, I have arranged with Giuseppe for a nude photo shoot.”

“You what?” Simone was incredulous as she saw the gleam in the model’s eyes.

“Nude….fashion….shoot.”

“What kind of fashion is worn if you are nude?”

That was when Giuseppe piped up and sung out.

“Jewelry. The company tag is….”You be naked without it.”

Seemed like just an opportunity for Raul to grope Simone when she was in the buff.

“ERICA?!”

Course Erica was too busy working with all the other designers and assistants to notice that Simone was being roped into something….rather nasty.

“Simmy…just enjoy yourself.”

“Grrrrr.”

Titanpad Roleplay Session: April 28, 2014
Roleplay Group: Ladies Night RP (Hawaii Timeline)
Players: CharlotteCarrendar as Brock and LadyBelz as Pandora

LadyBelz: Pandora froze when she heard that voice…his voice…again. He was the last person she was expecting to see, and in Hawaii of all places. 

She turned around…and there he was. Her heart was pounding fiercely in her chest as she stared at him. He looked even more gorgeous then the last time she’d seen him…and considering where the last time she’d seen him was…she didn’t want to go there. 

“Hi.” she mumbled, unsure and very confused about what she was feeling at seeing him again. “What are you doing here?” 

—– 

CharlotteCarrendar: It was like the two of them were both frozen in place. Each acknowledging the other with a simple one word greeting. Brock was swallowing nervously as she just stood there. The breezed gently teasing her hair about her face. He wanted to break into a run and scoop her up in his arms, but he knew that she wasn’t ready for such things. 

“I…came to apologize.” 

It was the first thing he could think of to say. Raking back his unkept locks he glanced out at the waves as though trying to reign in his thoughts. His chin seemed to quiver before he returned his gaze to her. 

“Pan…I know what I did, and I know you probably will never forgive me.” He glanced down as his brow knitted. “Just….tell me that it’s over, and I promise never to see you again.” 

—– 

LadyBelz: Hearing him say that he came to apologize gave her anger due cause to ignite like the fires of hell. Her frown went dark and she actually laughed at him, a horrible sound, so unlike her usual, joyous laughter of joy and happiness. It was an anguished kind of laugh. 

“You? Apologize? For what? Breaking my heart? Ripping it out of my chest and stomping it into the dirt like it was dog shit on your shoe? For fucking my best friend? Is that what you’re apologizing for? Don’t make me puke.” she snarled. 

Oh she was angry…way beyond pissed…and now she had an outlet to vent her anger. 

“How am I supposed to forgive you for what you did? I’m supposed to say, what? ‘Oh it’s okay Brock! You just fucked my best friend! No big deal!’ Well guess what, buddy boy? It was a BIG fucking deal! And for what?? Because I wouldn’t be your dom?” She laughed again, tears threating to burn her eyes. “Tell me something…did you enjoy fucking her? Did she spank you like the bitch you are?” 

Yep…she was very pissed. 

—– 

CharlotteCarrendar:- There was no escaping it. The fury and fiery rebuttal to Brock’s apology was a scorcher, In fact, it was now getting so hot that the sand that Brock stood on was starting to heat up. Every word, every phrase cut like a knife, as though tearing through his very flesh to make him bleed. Every time he tried to interject, she hit back, again and again. But then it got below the belt. Soon Brock’s fingers were curling into fists. The veins in his neck were starting to bulge as his heart ferioucously started to beat pure venom into his system. 

“Wait…wait just a mintue! You…you were the one that practically ignored me when you were in hosptial. Told the Doctors that you would go be with Kali for your recovery….YOU JUST MOVED IN WITH ME! How was I to feel, Pandora? To be rejected when I was sitting ….RIGH THERE!” 

The fury was building and he was fast losing control of it. 

“I SAW HIM!…I SAW YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL WITH ANOTHER MAN!” 

There it was out. He was no snorting violently as he pointed at her. 

“What was I to think? You reject me and then get some fuck to come pick you up? Yes…I went to Simone’s cause I needed someone to talk to….and apologize to her. I THOUGHT YOU DUMPED ME!” 

His voice was getting raised as his skin started to shift and alter… 

“Yes, I fucked her. Did I enjoy it? NO! Why? Cause she’s not you!” 

Brock’s breathing became eratic as he stood there, the wind around him was starting to whip up. From across the vast reaches of time and space, a single female’s voice cried 

“Brock….don’t” 

(Charlotte) 

She could not be seen, but her presence felt. Brock roared at the sky. 

“”OOahee seeah-de-kuk teae seeah see-luoo….ooahee seeah-de-kuk teae seeah see-luoo oh-fe-kuk zwae woh-seeaez teae!”” 

(translation : “You told me to try….you told me to try and she hates me!”) 

—- 

LadyBelz: By the time Brock finished his speech, Pandora was clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she nearly fell to her knees. 

“Ignored you? I wasn’t ignoring you. You walked out on me, remember? You’re the godamn reason I was in the hospital in the first fucking place! You had me all messed up in the head. I didn’t know what to think, what to feel. You left me sitting in your million dollar apartment, alone, ‘to go think’ you said to me. I left right after you did to clear my head and think about what I wanted out of this relationship. I tried calling you. You never answered. I was coming back to you so we could talk. And then…in the hospital…when I said that I should probably recover at a friend’s…I only said that because I didn’t know what you wanted from me. You just stared at me like I was a bug on a windshield…and you walked out on me again! You say you love me…why didn’t you fucking fight for me, Brock? Why didn’t you step up and say, “No…she’s coming home with me and I don’t care what she says about it.” I waited…and you left. What the hell was I supposed to think? 

She stood up straight, her gaze dark and full of hurt. “Yes…I left the hospital with another man. I admit that. I called Mark, who works with me at the bar…Mark, who’s practically my boss…for a lift home because no one was there to take me. YOU WEREN’T THERE!” 

She swiped at her eyes, no longer stunned that tears were rolling down her cheeks. Seemed she’d been doing that a lot lately where Brock was concerned. 

“And then…Simone…how can you justify that to me? Saying it wasn’t me when it should have been. What the hell was going through your mind at that time, I would sure as hell like to know.” 

She stared at him as he seemed to shout to the heavens in some language she couldn’t understand. Shaking her head, she turned her back to him. 

“What the hell do you want from me, Brock?” 

—— 

CharlotteCarrendar: Her words seemed to be coming to him as though in a vaccum, like she was speaking but it had a strange echo to it. She was laughing at him, telling him how it was all his fault. How he should have been more of a man, taken charge of the relationship. Ordered her to come home with him from the hospital. His eyes now a sickly green stared at her as she continued on, of how she had someone from work – Mark; take her home, cause he wasn’t there. 

Another hard hit. Simone. The one woman in both their lives that had since caused grief, be it in her trying to help, or then succumbing to primal urges with Brock at the word that he and Pan were no longer together. 

“I was there….” Brock said as the human side of him wrestled with the inner demon that was urging to come forward. “I was always there…” His head started to rise as a terrible look came over his face. His skin now rippled with the poisons that had come to the surface. 

“I…haven’t been….myself with you….really.” 

The horrible truth was now starting to emerge. He held his hand up before his face, as the fingers were starting to alter in shape. The morph was always one of the most dreadful things that can happen to a spider demon….and on that beach, it was about to show itself. 

“I’m…..not…..h…” 

The last word was cut off as he tipped his head back, and then the horribe spine snapping – bone breaking could be heard as a large black swelling came from his back. Six long legs, like that of a massive spider were emerging as the human facade was being almost eaten alive by the spider within…. 

A gurgling sound rippled from his throat as his head grew to that of the most disgusting a vile looking creature ever to be spat out of the belly of Satan. A dull roar was building as massive spear like legs slammed into the sand, and if Pandora was to turn around, she would be confronted by a four tonne beast. Green poisonous saliva dripping down from it’s mandibles. 

It could not speak english….it was no longer Brock. 

—– 

LadyBelz: “No…you were never there.” she whispered, keeping her back to him. There was silence for a long moment before he spoke again…but there was something…off…about his voice. 

There was a horrible squelching sound behind her, causing her to frown. A sense of foreboding overrode her senses and she slowly turned around – almost like she was some damsel in distress in a horror flick. 

What she saw…made her eyes go wide. 

Where Brock once stood…was now a massively large spider. It was as if one had stepped out of the television screen of those cheesey horror monster movies she was always watching on cable on the weekends. 

“Oh…my…god…” she breathed, her heart beating a rapid beat against her ribcage. “Fucking hell!” She began to back away slowly, wondering how she ended up alone on a beach in one of the most popular places on the planet, with something out a child’s worse nightmare. 

“Fuck me sideways!” she whispered, continuing to back away. She wondered if she could make a run for it… 

Each step she took back…it would seem, the beast would take one forward. 

“Shit!” she whispered, clenching her fists at her sides, feeling her powers singing through her veins. She didn’t want to, but it was her life now on the line. And despite the fact, deep down, she knew it was Brock…there was anything but Brock that she could see in the demon’s eyes. 

She would have to hurt him if it came down to it. 

And as much as he had hurt her with his actions with Simone…she still loved him. 

“Damn me to hell anyway.” 

—— 


CahrlotteCarrendar:- Through all the eyes now focused on the retreating Pandora, the beast was now incensed. It knew nothing of love, and only hate and rage. As Pandora crept backwards, the collosal arachnid was marching forward, much like you would see a tarantula stalking it’s prey. The Bebilith knew nothing of the danger that Pandora possessed, and that was her use of fire. The one thing that could end him, once and for all. 

Large pincer like claws came whistling through the air and snapped wildly at Pandora and it chittered violently, almost like it was plotting whether or not to wrap her up in a cocoon or simply snap her in half. 

It would take a bit of fancy foot work to evade the powered lunges with the pincer like claws. You have to remember this spider is over 20 feet tall, and over 18 feet across. The bebilith roared loudly again at Pandora, spraying the ground with a foul substance that actually made the sand sizzle and change a horrid colour of putrid green. 

~SNAP SNAP SNAP~ Went the pincer claws, while each leg created a tremor as it thundered into the earth. 

—– 

LadyBelz: The large pinchers whistled through the air, aiming for her head and she had to duck quickly to avoid them. This was going to take everything she had to not harm Brock…but also not end up as spider food in the process. 

The spider demon’s roar shook the ground beneath her feet as she continued to back away. Why was no one coming to investigate? Was there something about this creature that made people instinctively stay away? 

The ground was sprayed with an acidic substance, eating away at the sand and decimating any creatures that used it as their home. 

“Nasty” she muttered, feeling her hands heating up at her sides. “Back away, spider. This is one meal that won’t be easy to catch.” she muttered. The pinchers came at her again and at the last possible moment, she dived, ducked and rolled, coming up beneath the underbelly of the creature. Her hands shot out, a blast of fire hitting the creature point blank range – just enough to let it know that she wasn’t backing down from the fight. She rolled away from the beast as it screamed out its pain and anger and took off at run down the opposite side of the beach. She had to lead it away from civilization before someone discovered them. 

—— 


CharlotteCarrendar: – The moment the beast was struck by fire, it started a chain reaction as the fluids from it’s mandibles caught fire as well. The greatest weakness of a bebilith….was fire. It was the danger he risked…it was the danger he knew. The roar that came up from his insides had a shock wave like affect that even blew the trees back and knocked out all the fire torches. The table on which they were to dine was blown over. That was one meal that they were never going to have. 

The sound….reached a long long way. In the Cathedral of fiends, four hundred children all stopped and looked to the Matriarch, as the sound echoed through the tunnels. In the dead nation, a small red headed child with a mask looked up to the ceilings of the caves. She heard it as well. In Lacardis, both Charlotte and Taru stopped what they were doing in their seperate locations. In Seattle…four brothers all stopped and stared at each other. 

Izu was at his desk, writing a letter, when he heard it. 

But who would come? 

In the midst of the fire and angered leg strikes of the bebilth, a small child emerged, who had crossed the very expanses of space…truth be told…she hadn’t been born yet in this time. 

The child raised up her hands to the massive bebilith and spoke in fluent Rhefugi. 

“”KUKoh-kuk-kukoo ha-deaeohzae….KUKoh-kuk-kukoo z-seeah-ha.”” 

(translation : “Daddy please….Daddy stop.”) 

The hulking bebilith roared at the child, raising up it’s mandibles in fury, and the child again raised her arms in the same likeness. 

“EAY-bae ooahee kukah seeweayz…EAY qeay-de-de feae-jaeae-lu xae xah-lu-fe.” 

(translation : “If you do this…I will never be born.”) 

The child looked back over her shoulder at Pandora, and smiled. 

“He has a really bad temper, you know…..Mommy.” 

The little girl then walked right up to the Bebilith and started to rub it’s front leg, as it slowly lowered it’s head at the child, turning it side on and back. The grumbling continued, but the pincers lowered. 

“See? You don’t have to do this.” 

The child’s hair was the colour of her fathers, her eyes…like her Mother’s. 

A second being appeared and it was Charlotte. Charlotte had known all along. She came over and shook her head at the giant Arachnid. 

“Not exactly the way we hoped you would find out Brock.” She placed a hand on the girl’s shoulders, who wrapped a small arm around her great Aunt. Glancing back at what would probably be a stunned Pandora, Charlotte said. 

“We’re sorry. You should have been told earlier. But we had to let…nature take it’s course till he put himself in such danger it risked…..her.” She looked down at the little girl, who then whispered something in Rhefugi to her Great aunt. 

“Yes…I will allow it.” 

The child then released her aunt and slowly walked over to Pandora and offered her hand to her. 

“They told me you were beautiful.” 

In the background, Brock had already started to morph back, as painful as it was he kept his cries quiet in light of who was there. Charlotte kept guard over him until it was over and a burnt man lay on the ground. 

—- 

Pandora had paused when she heard a little girl’s voice and she whirled around in shock, feeling her heart freeze in her chest. There was a small child, no more then 5 or 6, standing right in front of the giant spider, talking to it as if it were a disobedient child itself. 

And she called him “Daddy”. 

What shocked her more…was when the little girl turned to look at Pandora and called her “Mommy”. The girl’s eyes were as familiar as her own. She should know…she saw them every time she looked in the mirror. 

Pandora’s hand went to her mouth in shock, even more so when another person appeared, an older woman this time. The woman spoke to Brock, talking about taking risks and doing dangerous things. 

The child whispered something to the woman, who then nodded and released the girl. Pandora could only stare, speechless, as the child…HER child…walked up to her and took her hand, telling her she was beautiful. Pandora laughed, a light sound, as tears leaked from her eyes. She knelt until she was eye-level with the girl. 

“And you’re just as gorgeous as your daddy.” she chuckled, tears clogging her voice. Behind them, Brock was morphing back to himself as Pandora spoke to their daughter, for there was no denying that is who this child was. 

And it gave her hope…hope that just maybe she and Brock could get past this. 

Getting to her feet, she took the girl by the hand and made her way to the woman’s side as she stood over Brock. 

“Is…” she gulped, “…did I hurt him, badly?” she whispered. 

—— 


CharlotteCarrendar: “He has….what you call…third degree burns. He will be disfigured from this.” It was true. The damage done to him as a large arachnid was captured forever more on his face and chest. Blood red scar like welts that ran like lightning bolts across his face, chest and back. 

Charlotte didn’t mince with words, as Brock slowly rose to his feet. His body charcoal coloured and he still had the yellow stains in his eyes. The child found a towel that was on the beach and offered it to her father. 

“I think you need this, Daddy.” Well, he was naked. 

Quietly, he took it and wrapped it around himself. His secret was now out, as well as that of the child that they would one day have. He was so close to losing it all. Even her. 

“Thank you.” He didn’t want to call her daughter, but he knew well who she was. The little girl took Charlotte’s hand and asked. “Can we stay?” Sadly Charlotte shook her head. 

“Our time here….is limited.” 

This was the second time she had said it, and Brock knew why. The child was saddened by this, and then went to hug her smouldering father before she had to go. As she did this, Charlotte approached Pandora. 

“He was right about one thing. You are the love of his life.” She showed a soft smile, before she turned back to take the child’s hand. 

“Time to take you home.” 

The little girl waved to Pandora and her father. 

“Aunt Charlotte calls me Hope….though I am not sure why.” 

Just as this is said, the two vanish from sight leaving Brock standing near Pandora. He bowed his head ashamed….and couldn’t find the words to say. 

—- 


LadyBelz: Pandora watched as the woman known as Charlotte…and the child who called herself “Hope” vanished from their plane of existence, leaving two bruised hearts to once again face one another. 

Pandora spoke first, knowing what exactly she was going to say. 

“I’m sorry I…burned you…” she murmured, looking down at her hands, “I didn’t want to become spider food.” 

She took a deep breath and brought her head up to stare at him. “You…hurt me. In the worst possible way…but I hurt you too. By not talking to you first…and things got all muddled and confusing and then it was too late. I keep asking myself if I should have fought harder for us. And my answer is yes. I should have talked to you first, instead of going to my friends. I should have told the doctor that I was staying with you. But my heart was bleeding…” 

She was babbling, not thinking she was making any sort of sense. But the whole time…there was one thought runnning through her head…it had popped up there the moment she saw him standing on the beach. 

“How can I forgive you…if I can’t forgive myself?” she whispered. Again, tears welled up in her eyes and she turned away from him so he wouldn’t see them. 

—— 

CharlotteCarrendar: If it was one thing that Brock knew about Pandora, it was when she started to babble, and when that started, her mind wasn’t really in a set pattern. She just let the words pour out of her, her body language showing fatigue of everything. She found in herself that there was errors on both side, that they both had reason to find blame with the other. The first steps…was to forgive. 

Brock appeared before her, and cupped her face in his hands, staring her down. 

“You forget one thing….” 

At this he then kissed her….he kissed her the same way he did the first time they met…the second…the third…all the times that they had shared intimacy, rolling in a wave, again and again. Breaking the kiss, he said to her… 

“…we have Hope.” 

—- 

LadyBelz: They had Hope. It was a strange concept…and even stranger still was her feelings when he kissed her. She should have been disgusted and disturbed that she was allowing him to do so. But she wasn’t. 

When he pulled away, she couldn’t help herself. Her hand hauled back and slapped him across the face. Oh she knew that had to hurt, with his skin burnt as it was, but she had been dying to do that for a long time. 

“That was for hurting me!” she growled. A second later, she yanked his head down to hers by the back of his neck. “And this is because I still love you.” And she kissed him passionately. 

And it was as if nothing had changed between them. The fires of passion that had ignited their very souls from Day 1 were burning hotter and brighter then any star in the sky. 

She could forgive him for everything, because she loved him. Would she forget? Most likely not. But it went a long way to repairing their damaged relationship. 

But…. 

There was still Simone to deal with…. 

——
