Raquel snuggles up against Shawn, nuzzling herself under his arm. She closes her eyes, listening to the rain and his heartbeat.
After several minutes in peaceful silence, she looks up at him

Raquel:"...Any private stairwells near by?"

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:33 am

Shawn pulls Raquel onto his lap...

Shawn: Yeah, there is...but you aren't going anywhere...

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:40 am

she giggles, moving hair from her face

Raquel:"Now why is that?"

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:45 am

Shawn looks deep into Raquel's eyes...and speaks with a tone he never has before...one of conviction...

Shawn: Because I'm going to take you home. I refuse to make love to you in a car...or on a stairwell. No...this...

...this is something different. Tonight...we say everything to each other....everything.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:56 am

Raquel can't help it as a tear rolls down her face. She doesn't say anything. She doesn't need to. She just sits there and feels closer to Shawn then shes ever felt to anybody.

Hours later, on the balcony of Shawn's condo, underneath a rain soaked blanket are the two bodies of Shawn and Raquel. Raquel is fast asleep and Shawn is having a cigarette as the rain continues to fall, the wind spraying droplets on to the balcony...

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:13 am

After a few moments Raquel slowly opens her eyes smiling at Shawn, speaking groggily and half awake

Raquel:"It was so good you're still smoking?"

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:15 am

Shawn: Shhh...No, just....thinking. Go back to sleep, hon. No need to worry about anything right now.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:18 am

She sits up
Raquel:"I never said I was worried."

she pulls Shawn's face towards hers, looking deep into his eyes

Raquel:"Talk to me."

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:23 am

Shawn: I was just wondering...why would you ever open up to someone like me when you first met me? I mean, I wasn't exactly Prince Charming back then...

...also...this thing with Erin is going to bug me for a while. I'm not worried about her family...and I can never really apologize to her. It...it is what it is...and it sucks. I just...couldn't lie to myself or her...when it came to you.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:30 am

Raquel:"Because you were the first one to even attempt to get past my first few layers. You were the first to reach me and see me as more then what I presented on the outside."

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:32 am

Shawn: What about that story you told me...about the married guy? He didn't try at all?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:35 am

Raquel:"He tried in a superficial way. He didn't really care, he wanted me to stick around. Eventually it was obvious. It was less about being with me and more about not being with his wife."

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:37 am

Shawn lights another cigarette in his mouth and passes it to Raquel. He runs his hand through her hair as they continue to lay there...

Shawn: Heh...I've never said it....have I?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:42 am

Raquel:"Well....do you?"

Cryonix Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:46 am

Shawn pulls Raquel on top of his lap, brushing some of her rain soaked hair out of her face. He looks at her natural beauty like it was the first time. He caresses her face...

Shawn: I love you Raquel. I think I always have.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:50 am

Raquel kisses him as tender as she ever has and smiles

Raquel:"Those were the most beautiful words I've ever heard you say Shawn."

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:17 am

Sometime later after the 'shower'...Shawn is putting on his shirt, looking back at Raquel getting ready. He smiles, a sad smile....he knows he doesn't have much time...but...his consience is clear.

Shawn: You're insatiable, you know that?

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:24 am

Raquel:"I have my reasons."

she looks at him with concern in her eyes

Raquel:"I've never seen you this troubled."

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:25 am

Shawn: I...I've come this far, grown up...and realized that I can have you...that it's ok to have you...

...only to...lose you...

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:29 am

Raquel:"You have not lost me yet."

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:34 am

Shawn: and...I don't plan on it.

He looks at her with love in his eyes...and drops to one knee...

Shawn: I don't have a ring or....Raquel...I love you. Would you...?

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:37 am

Raquel starts to tear up, her lip quivers

Raquel:"Please...survive. Do what you need to do, but survive. If what happens allows you to take my hand as your wife, then I will be yours."

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:01 am

Shawn recieves a text message from Erin.

Erin: Don't worry my darling husband. No harm will come to you or the whore. I've left orders to that effect in my Last Will and Testament. Goodbye Shawn.

Cryonix Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:09 am

Shawn texts back...

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Erin. It's not worth....this."
