"Thanks Ian." I say softly, just staring at the ceiling.

"Sorry I can't be of more help. I'm not good at this sort of thing," I mutter with an apologetic shrug.

"Really it's alright." I say looking over at him with a light smile.

I smile lightly back.

"So how are things with you?" I ask as I sit up, slightly playing with one of my curls.

"Been better," I admit, "Having serious second thoughts about...being with Maddie in general. I just don't seem to care about her the way I did before."

"Ian... you always doubting yourself. Are you sure this time?" I ask him with a frown.

I shrug, "About as sure as I ever am."

I sigh a little and place a hand on his back, moving it softly. "You'll figure it out."

The touch startles me for a moment, but I don't draw away from the contact. I'm pretty sure I usually would have.
"Yeah, guess I'll have to."

I smile and just look up at him. "So, why the sudden change? Do you like someone else, or you've been arguing, or just not ready to settle or what?"

"I don't really know. It's just been gradual," I decide to leave out her recent suicide attempt and how things have been going downhill since my latest suicide attempt because I don't really want to bring such a morbid topic up, "Not wanting to settle I suppose is the main thing."
I glance at her, not for the first time wondering about us. I haven't thought about that for a long time though. Even when she brought it up that time in the kitchen.

"Well, my settling down isn't a good persuasion is it?" I say to get him to smile a little bit. I look up at him for a moment noticing he was looking at me. "Something wrong?"

Post by Ian Hunt on Jan 19, 2008 23:44:26 GMT
I laugh slightly, "No, I guess it isn't."
"Mhm? No, nothing wrong," I shake my head.

"Okay then..." I say knowing that he had to be lying, but I don't push the issue. "I know this won't help matters, but I'll still wonder what if we were together, just what would have happened..." I say softly, looking at the ground now instead.

I hesitate for a moment, then look away from her and admit with a shrug, "Yeah, I was just thinking about that actually."

I look up slightly, but still avoiding his eyes. "That's a little ironic now isn't it..." I say softly, actually surprised that he was thinking the same thing.

"Just a little bit," I agree, glancing back at her but looking away again when I realise she's avoiding my eyes.

I look up at him and kiss him lightly on the cheek. I smile slightly and look at my hands, waiting for him to either walk away or yell at me for doing that.

I hesitate again, then brush my lips lightly against her cheek in return, smiling softly.

I turn to look at him with a small smile, not saying a word though.

I smile awkwardly back, then without thinking, kiss her lightly on the lips.

I feel my eyes slightly growing a little, but I kiss him back, a little harder than he was, slowly placing my hands around his neck.

I move a little closer to her, snaking one arm loosely around her waist.

I smile a little when I noticed that he moved closer. I gently pull his neck towards me, still kissing him rather lightly.

I deepen the kiss a little, shifting position slightly so it's easier to keep kissing her.

I gradually start tracing my index fingers down his back, as in a teasing, but slow way as I even deepen the kiss more.

I flex my shoulder blades as an involuntary reaction to the movement of her fingers down my back, I like the way it feels.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Sort of lost as to what I'm doing.

I slightly smile against his lips knowing why his shoulders were moving a bit.

I move my hand up her side slightly, stopping the movement just under her chest. I'm still trying to work out the boundaries at the moment.
