THE RISING IS NOT IN EFFECT

[ rest assured he's pretty drunk so it's not gonna take too long. he mutters something about how good that feels against her skin, growing more breathless by every second. the awkward position is certainly not ruining his mood, but he's thinking that next time they should do it somewhere more comfortable. adventurous is his thing but if Izzy is going to keep wearing shoes like that... ]

[ when he finally comes he does so with saying her name and all because it's the only name that has been going around his head these last few days. it's kinda stuck there now. ]

[singlestrand]

[ well, there it is. she sits there for a moment, relaxing against him--ignoring that he totally just said her name when he came, he's in too deep--trying to concentrate on slowing her heartbeat and once again, not falling off the bench now that he's basking in the glory of reaching the finish line. and not so much on her sliding off the bench.

isabella carefully scoots back, tucking some messy hair behind her ear. ... she tugs her dress up and re-situates her breasts in it. ]

[eternalboy]

[ when his eyes are open again Izzy is moving away and that's not really what he wanted to see. still, he watches her with a warm look on his face. he reaches a hand to brush over the tips of her hair and her back. ]

You alright?

[ he's trying to think up a place where they could go next but for some reason his brain feels like jelly. ]

[singlestrand]

M'fine. [ she slips away from his touch to leeeeean and snatch her panties from the floor, sliding them back on before she stands up. there's a bit of a stumble there but she manages to stand up straight, tugging her dress every which way so every part of her is covered. ]

We should probably get out of here before we get caught. [ we've already been lucky enough. ]

[eternalboy]

[ oh. ]

The door's locked.

[ they could be here all night. he doesn't care. getting caught by some security guard would be fun. they could take turns to tip-toe downstairs to get more to drink. ]

[ but she's already dressed, or as dressed she can get, so he makes half an attempt at finding his pants with one hand while still looking at her. ]

[singlestrand]

Yeah, but the employees prob have the key. [ she does not want to stay here all night, thank you. that sounds miserable. isabella comes fingers through her hair and she's having her run of sobriety. she hopes it leaves real soon because she needs to be drunk, come on body. ]

We could call a taxi. Get your bike in the morning? Or there's a motel somewhere close. [ don't pick that option though. ] I think there's a... Denny's somewhere. We could sober up there and head out, too.

[eternalboy]

[ are you kidding me of course he'll go for the motel option. ]

I'm not hungry. Are you?

[ it takes a few tries but eventually he finds his pants. manages to pull them on crouch down for the shirt that's laying on the floor. brushes his hair out of his face. ]

Whatever you say, really.

[singlestrand]

Not really. [ she ate all day. she's good. isabella moves over to him to straighten out his clothes and finish buttoning his shirt up. she can't pretend to be totally disinterested now if she wants to make it home without a fight. ] Do you want to stay in a room with me all night or call a taxi?

[eternalboy]

You really need to ask?

[ he has made his opinion pretty clear. also he wants to drink more. laughs and leans in to kiss her again, sliding his hand to cup her face so it can turn into one of those longer kisses. ]

[singlestrand]

[ well, there's her answer. isabella leans into the kiss for a while before slipping away, reaching down to grab his hand to lead him out of the room and down the steps back to the club. she knows it's a good block or two to the motel, so they can make it on foot. even on her heels. ] To the motel, then.

[ and maybe they'll take the way that puts them in the path of a liquor store, too. ]

[eternalboy]

[ omg. ]

[ sorry, Sam, new roommate, he won't even be there for the first night. ]
