41. Peaceful

Ripp helped Ophelia as she climbed into bed. The bubble blowing had really knocked her out. It was always like that the first time you did it.

She smiled. "Thanks for helping me." She had completely forgotten about earlier that day, when he hadn't shown up to get the groceries with her. They had forgotten about the groceries too.

He was

If it wasn´t Phi, I´m sure Ripp would try to take his advantage.
Good he kept a tiny little bit of common sense.

[strange_tomato]

You're right. If it was someone else, he would have most definitely tried to make a move at some point. I would say that he found it hard to resist, anyway, but he's not as messed up as she is. He still has his wits about him, somewhat, so he's trying to behave himself (and he wouldn't do anything while she was asleep).

*snicker* Chips.

Does he really think anyone would care if they saw him giving her a harmless kiss on the cheek? True, he's lusting in his heart, but his actions are benign. (would Johnny be pissed? I'd guess he'd be more pissed about the toking than the tuck in smooch)

(and, is this what you need the tuck in animation for?)

[strange_tomato]

Mmmm... chips. Nothing like a big bag of greasy chips to cure the munchies, right?

Well, maybe he's just paranoid? *snicker* I think you're right, though, and I'll probably change it before this makes it to the chapter. I'll either lose the fear, or push it into something more worthy of fear, like going for the lips instead. Hmmm, yeah... maybe that.

Johnny would surely not be impressed by the toking, and Ripp would surely get the blame for that, whether he deserves it or not.

Why, yes. This is what I needed that animation for. I think I got it to work out pretty well too.

Would he really kiss her on the mouth? It just seems like he wouldn't (at least not in her condition). He'd THINK about it (maybe even start to head that way) then think better of it and vere off to the cheek.

At least that's my take on it.

[strange_tomato]

Well, if he does do it, it will be more of a "just to see what it would be like" thing, where he barely touches her lips. He's high too, so I'm wondering if maybe he would do it... but maybe not. My first instinct was just the tuck in and cheek kiss, so maybe that works best. I do like "the think of it, then think better of it" angle. He's putting a lot of effort into resisting.

Well well well, what have we here? Phi smoking with Ripp? What would Johnny think about this development?

And, does this mean Phi and Ripp are getting closer?

AND, lord knows mind altering substances can highly influence your actions. Will anything happen between these two?

*cackles loudly*

[strange_tomato]

Johnny would be pissed! *grin* But why was Phi smoking with Ripp? All will be explained later.

We'll have to wait and see, but the last drabble with these two, 042. Promise, takes place later that night. (Hey, they're actually in order - 41, 42. Hehee.) What will happen? Well, something is happening here. How much of a something will it be?

[music_simbol]

YOU TEASE YOU!!!! *shakes fist angrily*

[strange_tomato]

You love it. *evil grin* And you'll find out pretty soon anyway.
