[Earthquake] April and Matt in "The Way to a Man's Heart is Through His Stomach"
((Takes place on Sunday, the 14th))
Matt: *It is Sunday afternoon when Matt rolls to a stop in front of April May's place on 'his' motorcycle. After Adrian's, he had been trying to find a place where he could stay out of the way and keep as inconspicuous as possible. Earlier that morning, April, the cute girl who was always willing to please, had popped into his head. All it took was a quick peek in the local phone book to...
Matt: ...find her phone number and address. Without evening thinking of giving her a call, he set off towards her place. Cutting the engine, Matt steps off the bike and gazes up at her apartment. He unzips his black jacket just a little ways, enough for the tiny feline inside to shift around again before pulling his head out and gazing around the environment curiously. Smiling from ear to ear, the...
Matt: ...former actor takes the stairs upwards and walks down the hall before arriving in front of the woman's door. He gives a small knock and waits, hoping she is already here. He hates to wait.*
April: *April is lounging on the sofa in her living room, and flipping through the channels on her television, until she settles on a soap opera. Redd had left in the early morning before she got up, so she hadn't had a chance to say goodbye. But, she sort of figured he'd be keen to get going, so it didn't come as much of a surprise...
April:...She's taken care to clean up the apartment, so there won't be any hint of last night's visitor. The blankets and pillow are gone from the sofa, the newspaper he read is gone from the coffee table... she even wiped down the living room, in case he left prints...
April: ...It's just as she raises her cup of iced coffee to her lips to take a sip when she hears the knock on her door. She frowns thoughtfully, puts the television on mute and gets up from the sofa. Since there's no work today, she's in a baby pink robe and fluffy slippers, and she adjusts the tie around her waist as she crosses the kitchen. She opens the door, and upon seeing who her visitor is, she beams.* Oooh! Hello, Matty!
Matt: *Matt grins even wider.* April baby! *He causally leans on the door frame, taking a small step towards her. He doesn't want to be in the hallway for too long.* Mind if I come in?
April: *April steps back to allow him entrance.* Yeah, sure, you can come in.
Matt: *He hurriedly steps in before he relaxes. His eyes travel up and down her body.* Cute outfit. Expecting someone else? Or did you just have a feeling I'd stop by?
April: *Giggles* Hehe. Well, I guess I just knew someone special was going to visit. *winks*
Matt: I guess so! You don't even seem surprised to see me! *Shoe lets out a soft meow before reaching out a paw towards April.* Oh! *Matt's grin turns very sweet.* Can I borrow get some water for Shoe? The little dude is thirsty!
April: Yeah, well, I knew about the breakout, y'know... so it's not, like, too big of a surprise. *Upon seeing Shoe, she bends forward, making cooing noises at him.* Awww! Hey little kitty~ *She reaches out and scratches Shoe behind his ear.* You're just the cutest little thing ever, aren't you? Here, I'll get you some water, honey~ *She straightens up and goes over to grab a bowl from the cupboard and then fills it up with water in the sink.*
Matt: *As April coos over Shoe, Matt beams down at his cat before unzipping his jacket completely and taking the cat out. Setting him on the floor to roam as he likes, Matt allows himself to gaze around April's apartment once she leaves to retrieve water. It looks, somehow, just as he imagined it would be.*
April: *She returns from the sink, going over to Shoe and leans over to place the bowl next to the cat, before standing up and glancing over at Matt.* So... what have you been doing since you got out?
Matt: *Crossing his arms, he leans to place all of his weight on one foot while he speaks.* Just visiting friends and picking up Shoe! *Points to the cat.* He really missed me. Nothing too much yet. I just thought I might drop by and check up on you. *He waves a gloved hand around the room.* Really nice place you have here, babe.
April: *She props herself up with her elbows on the counter behind her and smiles.* Well... I'm awfully glad you decided to stop by, darling. *Upon hearing his comment about her apartment, her nose wrinkles up slightly and she laughs.* Well, like, thanks, I guess. *She glances around her kitchen.* It'll do... for now.
Matt: Planning on finding some other place? Man, I wish I could have shown you my old place. It was huge and totally cool looking! I bet you would have loved it.
April: Yeah, like, once I get some more money I'm gonna find somewhere else... somewhere bigger and better than here. *She sighs, then looks at him, her smile back.* I absolutely would have loved to see your place, darling.
Matt: Give me some time and I'll find an even better place. Won't take too long. But for now... *Pouting, he tilted his head.* I'm out on the streets.
April: Awww, poor baby! *With this she pushes herself off of the counter and walks over to him, her eyes big and sympathetic.* You can stay here as long as you need.
Matt: That is totally sweet of you to offer, April baby. I think I'll take you up on that offer. *He leans down, looking her in the eyes (sorta).* Shoe can stay too, right?
April: *Looks up at him.* Why, of course... that's, like, totally no problem. *Now that she's close to him, she sees for the first time the scratches embedded in his skin in the side of his face not veiled by his bangs. Her eyes widen.* Oooh, Matty! You're hurt! What happened? *She reaches up toward his cheek to touch one of the scratches with her fingertip.*
Matt: *Matt stops himself from flinching at her touch. He had almost forgotten how Adrian had got him across the face with her nails.* Shoe accidentally got me earlier. A total accident. He would never do it on purpose. *A small pause followed by another pout.* But it kinda still hurts a little...
April: *Her lower lip juts out, and she stares up at him through thick eyelashes. She delicately traces one of the scratches with her finger.* Want me to make it all better?
Matt: *Matt nods silently, smiling again.*
April: *She brings her fingers to her lips, and kisses them, before reaching up and slowly running them along a single cut that trails down across his jaw.* There... *As she does this, she takes another step towards him, so there's nearly no space in between, while her other hand comes up to rest on his chest.*
Matt: *His hand strays upwards before resting on her shoulder.* Care to give me a little tour of the place, Miss May?
April: *She laughs lightly, and winks.* Sure thing! Any room you'd like to see in particular?
Matt: *His other hand grabs for hers lightly, stroking her palm. He gives her a predatory smile.* Where will I be sleeping tonight?
April: *She smirks, and plays with the lapel of his jacket.* Well, it's a one bedroom apartment...
Matt: And you don't mind sharing a room with someone like me? I can get pretty demanding...
April: *Her eyelids lower as her smirk grows.* I'm pretty sure I can handle you, baby...
Matt: *Looks down at Shoe.* Shoe, stay out here and be a good boy. *His gaze flickers back to April's.* I'm ready for the guided tour.
April: All right, then... *She drops her hand from Matt's face, but doesn't let go of his hand. She pulls on him lightly as she walks through the kitchen, into the living room, where the soap opera still plays silently on the TV.* This is my living room... *She picks up the remote as they walk past the sofa, and switches off the TV. She starts walking down the adjoining hall that has two rooms leading off of it.* And this is the hallway…
Matt: *Allows her to pull him, grinning the whole way. He pretends to be interested.* Ohh! What a nice hallway you have!
April: And this... *She stops in front of the door on the left, and opens it.* ...is my bedroom.
April: *Like the rest of the apartment, her bedroom is completely pink. A vanity and dresser line the walls, assorted types of makeup and jewelry cluttering their tops. A full length mirror resides in the corner by the closet, tilted just so. In the center sits a big, cushy-looking queen sized bed, decked out in covers and pillows the same color as her robe.*
Matt: *Raises an eyebrow at the color of the room but decides to say nothing about it. Apparently, she really did love pink.* Really cute room and the bed looks a lot more comfy than that bed I had at the prison.
April: *She smiles and pulls him in.* I'm sure it's much more comfortable. Wanna try it out?
Matt: *Takes a step backwards so he can reach the door. He does not want Shoe to interrupt.* You bet, babe. *Swiftly shuts the bedroom door behind him before advancing on her.*
April: *She doesn't move as he advances on her... she simply waits until he closes the gap between them before sliding her hand up and gripping his lapel hard.*
Matt: *Upon meeting her, Matt takes her face in both of his hands, pressing his own lips fiercely to her own. He gives her a small, light shove towards the bed, following closely after her. Breaking the kiss for a moment, he lets out a chuckle, whispering into her lips.* This is already a lot better than on the visitation room floor.
April: Mmmm. I would hope so... *Her back bumps against the bed, and her grip on his jacket tightens, pulling him into another kiss.*
Matt: *Greedily pressing against her, he wraps both arms around her to keep her from getting too far away from him. He sighs into the kiss before nibbling lightly on her bottom lip.* April...?
April: *She breaks off the kiss and looks up at him, but all she can really see is his hair and his nose, being as close as she is.* Hmmm?
Matt: *He kisses her again, one hand reaching up to stroke her hair. His voice lowers to a much more sultry tone.* You know what I really want right now, babe?
April: *She wraps her arm around his waist and moves her other hand up to caress his bare cheek. Her voice is warm and sensual when she speaks, but a tad bit breathy.* What, Matty?
Matt: *Tilts his head into the touch, staring deeply (as best as he can with half of his face covered in hair) into her eyes.* I'm starving. Could you make me a sandwich or something first? I haven't eaten properly since I got out.
April: *She's a little taken aback by his request, almost a bit annoyed to tell the truth. She was already into it, and he had to stop... for a sandwich?* Um, yeah... sure. Hold on. *She slides out from between him and the bed, going to the kitchen...
April: …where she rummages through the cupboards and her fridge until she finds what she needs. After a few minutes of preparation, she returns to the bedroom, holding a peanutbutter sandwich on a plate and a glass of milk.*
Matt: *Matt has already made himself comfortable on the bed while she was in the kitchen and happily reaches out to take the plate.* Thanks, doll. You are amazing! *He takes a large bite of the sandwich.*
April: *She climbs onto the bed, settling in next to him. She pouts.* Y'know, I'm amazing in more ways than just one.
Matt: *He takes another large bite of sandwich before turning to look at her.* Aww, of course you are, babe. I'll let you remind me all about how amazing you are... After my sandwich.
April: All right. *She folds her arms across her chest, and looks off to the side, her pout deepening as she displays a genuinely grumpy look.*
Matt: *Matt finishes the sandwich, handing her the plate and taking the glass of milk, draining it quickly.*
April: *Sets the plate aside. She tries to warm up her tone when she speaks next.* Finished, Matty?
Matt: *Gulps down the rest of the milk and hands her the glass.* Yep! *He beams at her.* I feel so much better!
April: *Sets the glass aside as well.* Good... *Her eyes flit over his face as she crawls close to him.* Oh, my, you've got some peanutbutter on your face, right above your lip...
Matt: *Eye widens, glancing downwards even if he can't see that spot.* Huh? Do I?
April: Yup. *She leans in.* Riiiiight there. *And instead of wiping it off, she presses her lips to the corner of his mouth and licks it off.*
Matt: Oh! *Matt grins into the kiss before returning it just as eagerly.* Did you get it all yet?
April: Hmm... there's just another smudge right here. *She presses her lips into his hungrily, rolling over so she's on top of him.*
Matt: *Is more than happy to let her be on top, he continues to return the kisses until he breaks away for a brief second. His smile is more relaxed as he shifts under her slightly.* God...This bed is so comfortable...
April: Mmhmmmmm... *She kisses him again, letting her hands wander down.*
Matt: *Closes his eyes, not from her touch (though it is very wonderful), but from the absolute comfort of her bed. After so much time sleeping on practically a piece of metal, Matt is in absolute bliss at laying down on such a wonderful mattress.*
April: *April continues... until she notices something is wrong. He doesn't seem to be responding.* Matty? ... Matt? *She sits back, staring at him incredulously, with a look of disbelief on her face.*
Matt: *Matt is fast asleep, a peaceful look on his face as he lets out a very soft snore.*
April:*April stares at him for a minute more before rolling her eyes and sliding off of him. She falls back against a pillow, and breathes out an irritated huff.* God. *She folds her arms, and glances over a Matt.* Sometimes I really hate men.
