Cuddles

Alexithymiaa: -Adam sat out on the back porch watching Lady run across the yard after the tennis ball. He smiled when she caught it in her mouth and turned to run back over, dropping it at his feet. He leaned down and scooped it up, bringing his arm back and throwing it again to watch the dog go tearing after it.-
Tsaaq: She laid on her bed with her laptop on her stomach, tapping at her mouse aimlessly with a frown. Loud music coming from the speakers of her computer and all of the lights off in her bedroom. She leaned over a bit to glance at her phone but once she saw she had no messages she just went back looking at her computer screen.
Alexithymiaa: (I just realized theres a driveway over here)
Tsaaq: ((...Welp.))
Alexithymiaa: -He leaned over to take the ball from the dog's mouth, giving it a tug when she wouldnt drop it. "Hey. Drop it.... Lady drop it. Drop it." He shot a glance at the dog and she released the ball, leanign up and tossing it for her again.-
Musik: -Harper climbed out of her jeep, shoving the door closed, pulling the trunk open to pull out the bag full of more alcohol and a bunch of weed. She closed the trunk and moved to walk up the stairs, stopping when she saw Lady and Adam outside. She watched Lady for a second and smiled slightly.-
Tsaaq: Hayley bit her lip a moment the played with her septum ring then groaned, closing the laptop and throwing it in the space beside her on the bed. She went to close the curtains around her bed and laid back down just sort of brooding in the darkness.
Alexithymiaa: -He shifted backward to lean back on the stairs, propping his elbows behind him to support his weight as the dog came running back with the ball. "Okay, take it easy. Sit down. Sit."-
Covet: -Eli had been in his room working on some new storyboards. Taking a break he made his way out into the kitchen to make himself a PB and J sammich. He was whistling and in a fairly cheerful mood over all. He heard his phone ringing in his pocket and pulled it out to answer it- Hello, this is Eli....Yes, I did call you earlier about the availability of that space.... How much work is it going to need?...Alright...Mhhm. And what's that going to run monthly? Okay...well I'm interested, for sure. -he said conversing with someone on the other end-
Musik: "She's getting big." -She said adjusting the bag in her hand as she moved over on the porch, looking at Lady as she played.-
Tsaaq: She kept laying in bed and doing nothing, the end.
Alexithymiaa: -Hearing Harper's voice behind him, he tipped his head back so he could look at her, giving a brief nod before looking back at the dog. "Yeah."-
Covet: -Eli finished up his call and tucked his phone back into his pocket, with an even bigger grin on his face, clearly happy with what had transpired over the call. He went back to making his sammich and put away the tiems. He took a big bite of the sandwhich and chewed it up then realized he didn't have a drink. He started to scramble in the fridge trying to find something suitable to go with PB &J but was bummed to find there wasn't any milk.-
Musik: "I know you hate me. But do you have to be cold to me when I'm talking about Lady?" -She asked raising her brows as she looked at him.-
Tsaaq: Hayley sighed and pushed her bed curtains aside and slid out of her bed. She went down the stairs and towards the kitchen. She saw Eli and took a few steps back as she covered her arms over her chest. "Oh." She whispered and went to turn around.
Alexithymiaa: -He raised his brows and turned his head back to look at Harper. "So because it's about the dog, I have to be your best friend? That doesn't change what you said and I shouldn't have to drop my feelings for your words because you're talking about Lady."-
Covet: [Is Hayley topless? O.o]
Tsaaq: ((SHE HAS A BRA ON.))
Covet: [Oh okay that's not as bad....She pretty much wears at least that much on a regular basis]
Covet: -Eli turned around when he heard someone say Oh.- Hi Hayley -he said with a muffled sound because he was still chewing on the sammich. He settled for some orange juice, even though it was subpar compared to milk-
Musik: "I didn't say you had to be my best fucking friend, Adam. But I'm talking about the dog, not about your fucking girlfriend." -She rolled her eyes and threw her hand up.- "Whatever. Have fun." -She moved to walk into the house, looking at Eli and Hayley. She kept  her lips shut as she grabbed a glass, filling it with ice before moving up the stairs to her room.-
Tsaaq: She stopped in her tracks and turned back around. "Hi..." She said quietly and lowered her head. She saw Harper enter the kitchen and shifted on her feet uncomfortably staying silent for the most part.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam dropped his head when Harper walked away, leaning forward to pick up the tennis ball, throwing it as hard as he could to send the dog bolting after it.-
Covet: Oh you don't have a shirt on...-His face turned bright red and he averted his gaze accordingly. He'd seen too many almost boobs this week as it was.- This is a really good sandwhich. Do you want one Hayley? -he asked then moved out of Harper's way as she breezed in and out.-
Musik: -She opened up the bottle of Jack, pouring it into the glass, chugging it back, opening up the bag to pull out the weed, grabbing her bong and stuffing it full to light it up or whatever you do with a bong, idk i don't smoke.-
Tsaaq: "I'm not hungry." She answered softly and kept her arms over her chest and her head down. "I didn't know anybody was down here. I'm just going to head to my room or whatever."
Alexithymiaa: -As the dog came running back with the ball, Adam just stared at her because it didnt matter that he threw the ball out of anger, she still got it like it was good shit games and stuff. Letting out a sigh, he climbed to his feet and turned to pusht he kitchen door open, letting her run inside with the ball proudly in her mouth ahead of him, looking to Eli and Hayley. "Oh hey."-
Covet: Oh...Is everything alright? -he asked sensing she was a little down or something-  I was just taking a break from drawing. Been down here for most of the evening. -He looked over to Adam and waved at him as he took another bite from his sandwhich- Hey Adam, and Hello Lady, do you have a ball?  -he said speaking to the dog-
Musik: -She leaned her head back closing her eyes as she held the smoke in, slowly letting it out before taking another hit of it.-
Tsaaq: Hayley nodded her head though it didn't seem convincing. "Yeah, everything is okay." She said then glanced at Adam and looking down again. "Hey." Hayley said hurriedly. "I'm going to my room for realsies now." She whispered and uncrossed her arms, trying to escape the kitchen.
Alexithymiaa: -Lady spun around and wagged her tail like crazy when Eli spoke to her, holding her head up high to show off her ball. Adam sighed and walked to the kitchen table, dropping into a chair and just putting his head down.-
Covet: Alright Hayley, if you need to talk or something, You know where I'll be. -he said to her looking back down at Lady- Yeah, that's a pretty cool ball isn't it. -he leaned down to pet her head then looked over at Adam- Well you look like a bottle of sunshine over there. I feel like something happened and I missed it. Should I be thankful that I did?
Musik: -She just got high and drunk until she passed out. Fun shit.-
Tsaaq: She made her way out the kitchen then paused. She stopped again and looked over at Adam. "You okay?" She asked as she went over to him, awkwardly putting her hand on his shoulder.
Alexithymiaa: "Always." Adam murmored to Eli, turning his head to look over at Hayley. "Well Harper is being a jerk, you hate me, and no matter how many times I throw that stupid little ball, she runs and gets it and brings it back like I did her the biggest favor in the world just by existing."-
Covet: It's funny how dogs are loyal like that -Eli said trying to lighten the mood between everyone-  I think you guys need to talk...but the offer extends to you too Adam. I'm just going to head back to my room now. -he said pointing and awkward shuffling that direction-
Tsaaq: She furrowed her eyebrows and sat down beside him. "I don't hate you..." She said quickly then waved at Eli when he mentioned going to his room. "You just seem sad and like you need space and even though it makes me sad to see you sad I gave you space anyways..." Hayley turned to say to him. "I'm not good at this obviously. I thought you didn't want me around to be honest." She sighed.
Alexithymiaa: (I picture Seth Cohen doing the awkward shuffle.)
Covet: [ha ha ha]
Alexithymiaa: -He propped his chin under his hand, waiting for Eli to finish shuffling his weird ass away before speaking to Hayley. "I always want you around. I just don't want to force you to be around me if you dont feel like it. That's why I put it to you."-
Tsaaq: "I did want to be around you. I still do." Hayley said she went to put her hand on his knee. "I guess I did let what Harper said get to me anyways... But I spent the last couple of days sad in my room cause I thought you wanted to be alone." Hayley said as she lowered her head.
Alexithymiaa: "No. I like spending time with you. A lot. I just don't want to smother you so I thought you could come to me when you wanted to."-
Tsaaq: Hayley smiled a little at him and leaned over towards Adam, going into a hug. "You could never smother me. I want you around me all the time. You make me happy." She said before kissing his cheek.
Alexithymiaa: -A smile crossed his lips, his head turning to face her. "Promise?"-
Tsaaq: "Promise. Pinky swear, all that good shit." She laughed a little went to kiss his cheek once more. "You're like... One of the best things to happen to me and that's not just like a girlfriend thing that's like, even when we first started being friends." Hayley said.
Alexithymiaa: -His smile grew wider and he sat up straight, edging back in his chair. "Same. For you. I mean... me with you. You know what I mean." His eyes dropped down to Lady who was sitting and chewing on her ball. "Do you want to get into bed?"-
Tsaaq: Hayley laughed again as she got up. "Some sleep would be nice." She said as she went over to Lady to pick her up. "Hey cutie pie." Hayley said while petting the dog and waited at the bottom of the stairs for Adam.
Alexithymiaa: -He followed her over to the stairs, making his way up with her and heading over into his room to lay across the couch bed. "Lady can sleep on the pillow on the floor since there won't be room."-
Tsaaq: She nodded and put Lady down on said pillow and gave her a final goodnight pat then climbed into the bed with Adam, cuddling up beside him as she closed her eyes. "Night night Abs." She said in a comfortable murmur.
Alexithymiaa: "Goodnight Halo." He spoke, draping his arm around her before falling asleep.-
