Anita's Apartment, Saturday Night (3/18)

Mar 19, 2006 07:55

It had taken her most of the week to get around to calling CJ. She had meant to right away, but with Kate, Justin, everyone going missing, it just got put off. And once she put it off it was that much easier to keep putting it off. M ( Read more... )

anita, cj

With a shopping bag in her arms, she knocked on the door. She'd stopped off and picked up chocolate, pastries, crackers and cheese, and a good bottle of wine.

It was amazing to her how easily she slipped back into the comfort of being one with her boys. Of being Kaasan. She was sad to let it go in a lot of ways.

A musical and a girl friend were just what she needed.

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 18 2006, 22:32:10 UTC

It was faint, but she heard the knock from downstairs, almost flying down the stairs to throw the door open, smiling. "CJ." Opening the door wide she almost pulled her inside, hugging her, then locking the door behind them, leaving them standing in an open warehouse space that at some point looked like it was used for something artist like, her jeep parked at one end near a sliding bay door. Near them was a steel staircase going up to the second floor, the door open and warm light pouring down. "You've never been here before have you?"

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 18 2006, 23:43:18 UTC

"I haven't. It's...huge." She looked around, taking everything in. "I, um...thanks for calling me. I needed this. Something. After last night...yeah."

She returned the hug with one arm, bag held in the crook of the other, and she meanders in farther, tone almost subdued. She looked as if something was weighing her down, even if she was trying to pu on a happy face.

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 19 2006, 06:18:57 UTC

"It's some sort of warehouse/sculptor's studio conversion, I don't know, I just bought it. The upstairs is great. Huge is a good word for it." Or empty...

She looks a bit more closely at CJ, motioning for her to follow her up the stairs, "It's okay. I did too. Sorry I haven't gotten around to calling sooner." She stops as she reaches the main floor, open concept, kitchen at one end, lounge at the other, another stairway leading to a half floor above the lounge area, "Long night then?"

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 20 2006, 01:57:46 UTC

Her soft smile and faint blush gave it away, "Yeah. Long night. But it wasn't really last night. It was..." she looked at her watch, "it was about 20 minutes ago that nearly broke my heart."

She heaves a heavy sigh and steps into the kitchen, setting the bag on the counter. "I made a wish on a shamrock and it came true...but only until a little after 9. Then it was gone."

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 20 2006, 21:52:57 UTC

Anita pulls some wine glasses out of a cupboard, setting them down on the counter, grabbing a botle of white from the fridge and looking at CJ questioningly, "A wish that came true for 24 hours? Anywhere else in the world and that would sound impossible. Here in Tropolis..." She pours a glass as she talks, "What was the wish?"

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 22 2006, 09:22:55 UTC

"That I'd have the connection with my boys that I lost when we did the spell. I miss them inside me. Not..not like that. I mean, I used to feel them and hear them. After a little while that was normal and now I feel empty. I miss them."

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 22 2006, 09:59:02 UTC

She does understand that, and she passes CJ a glass of wine, pouring herself another, "There was a while, a long time back where the marks were gone, due to a spell of sorts. In the end... I took the marks back to save both of them, to save all of us, but part of me missed it. How empty my head was for a while. And being here dampens them, I can't dream what they do, they don't just pop into my head..."

When she looks up at CJ it's obvious in her face that this isn't soemthing she's really admitted to anyone, possibly even herself, "When I went back for a weekend, I realised... I realised I couldn't do that anymore. It killed me to come back here. But I had to. So I guess.... I guess I'm trying to say I do understand, without sounding completely fake."

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 25 2006, 05:33:09 UTC

She smiles and takes the wine. "Thank you."

Her tone carries thankfulness for more than just the wine, though. She leans in and kisses Anita lightly, friendly...not pushing.

"You said movies? I brought goodies to eat."

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 25 2006, 17:49:27 UTC

When CJ kisses her lightly Anita can't help but lean into it, one hand still on the wine bottle, the other sliding around CJ's waist. And as quickly as it happens she's pulled back, grabbing her own glass of wine, standing looking up at CJ, suddenly seeming almost too close, only, she doesn't want to move.

"Movies, yeah, of course, it seems we both have the wine covered though..." Trailing off, a quick glane to the couch, another upstairs, "What do you feel like watching?"

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 26 2006, 05:29:31 UTC

With a mischevious grin and a hungry look in her eyes, she might as well have said You...but she didn't.

Turning to follow the gaze upstairs, she started in that direction. "Chicago?"

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 26 2006, 05:45:07 UTC

She can feel her face heat slightly and she grabs the bottle of wine and her glass, making her way across the lounge room to grab the movie off her shelf. "Movie in bed? My room's the one upstairs on the left." She isn't thinking about what happened last time they tried watching a movie in bed. Not at all.

Okay, maybe a little.

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge March 26 2006, 06:05:15 UTC

Walking up the stairs, she tossed a comment back over her shoulder, "I really like this place. It's so big and airy. It'd be wonderful for parties."

She followed Anita's directions and wandered to the door on the left, stopping at the doorway and looking back down the stairs, smiling as the petite brunette made her way up.

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator March 26 2006, 06:22:05 UTC

"Parties? I don't think I've ever in m life thrown a party. I'm not even all that big on going to them a lot of the time." She smiles as she reaches the top of the stairs, "I wouldn't even know what to do."

She squeezes past CJ into the room, brushing against her as she does. It's a large room, one of only two bedrooms in the place, windows high up on the walls, exposed wood and ductwork, obviously some sort of design feature. A large postered dark wood bed to one side of the room, tv and the like on a matching wood stand near a comfortable looking chair and table piled with books. Across the room there's an open, showing a large bathroom with a decadently large jacuzzi tub that you can see from the entrance to the room. Putting the wine down on a bedside table she flicks on a lamp, "You said you brought goodies?"

Re: After 9pm lis_rouge April 1 2006, 02:52:52 UTC

"It's a good place for parties." she mumbles and walks in behind Anita. "This is a gorgeous room...the whole place. Great."

She wandered around, looking at Anita's room...the private things that she held dear.

"Oh, I think I left them downstairs."

Re: After 9pm deadly_animator April 1 2006, 06:47:28 UTC

She fiddled with the dvd player, turning to see CJ looking at her room, little things here and there, photos, small pieces that were gifts from Jean-Claude. Smiling she leans against the tv stand, "Well, if you ever feel like organising a party here, go ahead. I'm not likely to get around to it. I'm glad you like it though. It's... It's comfortable."

"Did you want to go grab them, or should we just give them up as lost and go for wine and movie?"
