Check Yes, Juliet

[Allyson Locke]

Control and pace was something that as unknown to Allyson. She was curious as to how Kaili was able to be alright with how she was right now. If the clothing was reversed, the towel would no longer exist on Kaili's body. She wondered if this had to do with Kaili's upbringing. The smuggler did remember a moment when the girl had recited part of the Jedi Code or something along those lines. Wrinkling her nose she wondered how things were going to work out. The Jedi were an odd folk, some disregarded passion while others dove head first into it and used it to their advantage, but remained light sided. It was a curious matter, something that Allyson really had never thought on up until meeting Kaili. She chewed on her thumb as the other girl spoke about the different films they could watch, Allyson had her mind on other things as she took this lesson in stride. A lesson that was being taught without the Master knowing. A relationship was a new concept to Allyson, who only searched for another for physical needs. She had suddenly become aware of her emotional needs and they were filled by the blonde who stood in front of her.

Snapping out of her thought process she realized she had let a question linger between them for some time. Allyson tried to pick apart the parts that she had heard and what she was going to fill with other words that Kaili could have said. In the end the conversation was pretty simple and filled with either ors and what should we dos. Pondering the films, Allyson had seen both and enjoyed both for the most part. Tilting her head side to side, she mused over which one. "Brawn of the Dead, can't get enough techno beasts. Its not too scary...I haven't seen it in awhile....I don't think its too scary no." Allyson enjoyed thrill and excitement, but horror wasn't her thing. Biting her lower lip she continued to think, trying to fully remember the film the best she could. It had been a little while, she had seen it during her travels in one of the theaters when she was trying to get away from a bounty hunter. Probably why she remembered being somewhat scared or something.

Allyson stood and kept the towel in place. "I'm assuming you're going to wait for the pizza? I need to clean up, you should too before dinner gets here so we can eat and watch the movie in clean bliss." Sticking her tongue out at the other girl she took a step back away from her. Her attachment getting the best of her, she leaned closer and kissed the blonde on the cheek. With a grin, she was headed back towards the refresher to clean up before dinner and a movie. That meant that this was a date right? [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Brawn of the Dead it was. Imperial Comedy done right in a post-apocalyptic setting, it really couldn’t go wrong. Though perhaps that was Kaili’s own bias speaking. Hot Bus and Brawn of the Dead shared director and writers and lead actors. One blonde scrawny man and a slightly rounder brunette man. Both of which were also the lead writers and producers. It was a whole mess, but Imperials and their schemes were always weird like that.

Still, it produced some kickass movies. What more could she ask for?

“Well, we’re going to eat something greasy. Why would I take a shower before that?” Kaili perked her brow. “That’s like… I dunno. Raising a flag in a thunderstorm? Counterproductive.”

Besides, Kaili didn’t usually take nearly as many showers as she did over the last few days. Twice per day wasn’t her MO. She rolled with once every other day. It was the perks of staying inside in a fully air conditioned space. The temperature was never too low or too high, it was always perfect. Not warm, with just a small measure of cold. She usually raised it for the sake of visitors, but outside of that she liked to joke that she was in fact a droid. The cold kept her processors up to speed.

“Anyway, if you want to shower I will take care with setting up the rest of the evening for us.”

“Sound like a deal?”

[Allyson Locke]

Smiling and sighing softly Allyson realized her plan was foiled. Kaili was too good at what she did and Allyson would soon learn that most of her little tricks wouldn’t work on the other girl. Hand went to the towel knot and held it as she nodded. Kaili was right, there needed someone to be around at the door to answer it for the pizza and if they both were in there it left Henry and Bait trying to get the pizza which would probably end up in a mess. Her free hand brushed back her brunette hair from her face as she nodded once more. Kaili was right and Allyson’s tricks were denied.

“Sounds like a plan Stan.” Allyson turned on her heels and went towards the refresher. She slipped in and dropped the towel. Showering was something she did often. With her work sometimes it would be days till she could and when she was around a shower she took full advantage of it. Also Kaili’s shower was really nice, far better than any ship refresher. Also since she usually took to a lot of physical activities, showering was a must even if it was multiple times a day. There was just this exhilarating feeling she got when she was clean. Possibly something in her subconscious that drove her to consistently shower, but that was a conversation for another day and a professional.

The sound of the shower echoed from the bathroom and Allyson began to clean up. It was funny how this small sanctuary was so welcoming and gratifying. The water hit her face and she began to clean up from the daily exertions. Allyson took her time in the shower, knowing that the pizza would probably take a little long since Kaili ordered the one pizza that literally had every single thing known to the pizza world and beyond in it. A small smile pulled at her lips as she looked forward to the evening, a quiet one – something so unknown to Allyson. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili nodded eagerly at Allyson and let her go off to get herself a shower as the Talith prepared the rest of what they needed. Snacks, a dip mix, no sweets. Kaili wasn’t much for candy, outside of cookies yet even then it was for that one factor. The most important aspect of snacks; the crunch. Nothing could quite beat that sensation as a crisp potato scratched against your teeth and the sound it made as it was grounded into a thin, salty paste. Kaili’s mouth watered at the mere thought and she popped one of the bags open to alleviate herself of the urge to devour the whole bag for herself.

She closed her eyes and savored the moment. Perhaps a bit overly excited for something so simple, but it was the greater importance of it that amused her. She was going to force Allyson to slow down and just take a few moments to enjoy life. Stop moving so fast and just… Be.

The bowls were prepared, the soda was still in the refrigerator and Allyson was just about getting out of the shower.

The bell ringed.

“Nice timing!” Kaili bounced on over to the door to answer it. She opened the door and on the other side stood a tall blonde man, well-chiseled chin and with a smile split from side to side. “Hi!”

“Hi, Kaili!” He responded. “I, uh, brought you the pizza. Just as you asked, the ‘One With Everything’ special.”

“That’s great.” She reached out to grab it. “I’ve been meaning to try this one for ages, you know.”

“Really?” The man sounded genuinely surprised.

“Uh, duh, you guys make it.” Kaili laughed. “You have the best pizza ever.”

“Yeah, that we do.” The man responded in a soft laughter. “Listen, I gotta hand out some other deliveries, but I’ll see you around, yeah?”

“For sure.” Kaili nodded as the man went away. “Anytime your datapad breaks down.”

The door shut and Kaili turned around to put the food on the counter.

[Allyson Locke]

The water shut off and Allyson stepped out of the refresher, a towel to her body and she was dry soon after. The clothing she had brought with her soon found itself against her skin and she dried up whatever water dripped from her body on the floor. Yawning, she didn’t realize how tired she was, the day and last night seemed to have so much physical activity that Allyson forgot she hadn’t gotten much sleep. Tonight though, she had a feeling it was going to be quiet – just seemed to be what Kaili had planned.

Upon exiting the refresher and before she could announce that she was finished, the doorbell rang and Allyson watched as the pizza arrived. There was an attractive man who had delivered the pizza, an eyebrow raised as she watched the exchange between them happen. Kaili did seem overly excited to order from the man ‘around the corner’ and the guy seemed rather pleased to be delivering to a young attractive blonde girl. Allyson felt her fist clench tightly against her leg, tight enough that her knuckles turned white. Maybe she was imagining all of it and the exchange was rather mundane? No, she didn’t imagine it – the man looked at Kaili like she looked at her, jealously flared her emotions something she had never felt before.

Why was she feeling like this? Was this what happened while she was gone? Anytime your datapad breaks down. The phrase made it sound like it had happened before which of course worked Allyson’s imagination to see the man standing in the shop or even worse standing where she stood. Her nose twitched and her emotions continued to fly off in every which way. If fire could spark from her eyes the would have already. Allyson remained quiet and withdrew herself as she continued to think of scenarios between Kaili and the pizza man. The sudden urge to round house kick him in the jaw was growing stronger and stronger. It was probably a good thing he excused himself from Kaili’s door.

Allyson didn’t say anything, she sat herself onto the couch and crossed her arms tightly against her chest. Her mind was moving a mile a minute as she continued to try and decode everything that had been said between them. It was pretty obvious the man had something for the girl, he would have to be blind not to. Fingertips pressed into her upper arms as she just stared forward and tightened her jaw. What really happened while she was gone for 6 weeks, the question continued to be brought up in her mind as she tried to answer it herself. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Pizza in hand Kaili placed the heat-retaining container on the counter. The smell of cheese, meats and a hint of tato started to fill up the room as Kaili popped the cover open. She let in a deep breath to really soak up all of the greasy, grubby smells from the food she had ordered. In front of her was a pizza the size of her entire counter, that very kind of pizza you never knew if you wanted to -- or could -- devour in one sitting.

The young woman looked over to Allyson. Arms crossed with a rain cloud above her head. Was she angry? Kaili didn’t know.

“Hey, Allyson, what’s wrong?” She asked as she walked on over to take a seat. “You’ve got a big storm cloud resting above your head there, partner.”

There was a light nudge at the Corellian’s upper arm as Kaili brushed her fist against it.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

The smell of the smell of the pizza couldn't calm the storm that was brewing over Allyson’s head. She remained on the couch with her arms crossed while her stomach took second priority behind the illusions and stories she was making up in her head. All Allyson could think about at this moment was the strong pizza guy with the perfectly chiseled chin swooping in to save the Borleian girl from her hunger. He sticks around and says something along the lines of having a delivery for her. The thought continued to play out in her head and she tightened her jaw tighter than she could have ever done before hand.

It was then her imagination stopped and she felt a tiny fist against her arm. Looking towards Kaili, she felt her face soften for just a moment, then return to the glare she had given the poor pizza boy. “Do you order pizza a lot? Does that guy always deliver? Has he asked you out? Have you gone out with him? Do you think he’s cute?” The questions continued as Allyson stared back at Kaili waiting for the answers. She didn’t know what came over her and why she was so curious to find out the inner workings of the delivery boy and Kaili’s relationship.

“Well? H-has he taken you up on fixing his data pad?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

“Yes. Yes. No. No. Sorta?” Kaili blinked between her response to Allyson’s questions. “Of course he has!”

Kaili really couldn’t stop blinking. Allyson was acting up over the pizza guy, jealousy reeked but surely that couldn’t be it. The young Talith had already declared to Allyson that she was the only one she wanted. Hell, the guy may have been there and he might have seen something in Kaili, but it wasn’t something she saw in him. He wasn’t her type, or so her gut was telling her. He just wasn’t… Interesting. He probably looked good, but for someone who didn’t really have an opinion one way or the other on such things he was, well, just one in a million.

“I run a store specializing in droids and electronics, Allyson.” Kaili looked back at her partner. “I fix these things, create them. His ex-girlfriend broke his datapad with a hammer and his father paid for me to perform a backup restoration as well as a commission to create a new pad for his son.”

“He’s a customer and a friend, nothing else. You have my word.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson inhaled deeply as Kaili explained the situation to her. Most of it was drowned out by Allyson’s own mind beating her up over the fact that she just accused Kaili of cheating or something. What had gotten into her? Jealousy was something she usually never felt, more so she was never the type to question quickly like that. Allyson continued to try and work through her head how and why did this happen. Was it because she had never felt this way about another person before? Was she scared that Kaili was going to up and leave her for someone more convenient? All the questions of course were answered internally, but Allyson was still somewhat lost as to what she had just done.

Apologizing always felt like the best first step in situations such as this. “I’m sorry Kaili, I just – “Allyson wondered if she should explain herself, would it help the situation? Hands fell from her chest and into her lap as she played with the fabric on her pants. Hazel orbs falling from the blonde next to her to focus on the fabric that she was nervously pulling at. “I just know I leave you alone here and with how I left you the last time and then didn’t call or message or anything – I wouldn’t be able to blame you for possibly moving on.” Her head tilted as she spoke quietly. “I don’t want you to move on until you know for a fact that I’m gone or whatever.”

Her head shook slightly as a forced nervous laugh escaped her lips, she bit her lower lip being a nervous habit and all. “I just worked in my head that somehow because I was gone for so long and that he seemed to like you that something had happened, but the more I think about it the more I realize how stupid I was.” Again she shook her head, “I’m sorry. I just don’t like thinking of you with someone else.” A smile and Allyson looked to the girl next to her, “You’re mine.” The smile faded and she stared blankly at Kaili, way to sound possessive Allyson good job! “I DIDN’T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! I’M NOT WEIRD OR ANYTHING!” Hands frantically waving in front of her as she tried to explain herself and not sound like a possessive oddball.

[member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Wasn’t it Kaili that was supposed to ask for forgiveness out of the two of them? When they had first met that seemed to be her thing. It was almost endearing, Allyson so desperately trying to make up for her jealousy and it caused a smile spread on Kaili’s lips as she watched the whole thing go from a simple apology to panicked explanation. If only Allyson would know that Kaili wouldn’t think her dead just because two weeks of silence had passed, and if she had, the cheeks that she had caressed only a few hours earlier wouldn’t have been as dry as they were. It would have been another loss and another dent in her self-esteem. The tearing down of what Allyson had helped rebuild.

“Oh, I don’t know.” Kaili began in a soft whisper as she reached out for Allyson’s cheek. “I’m not yours.” Gentle tug and kiss to ease the worried woman’s mind. “You’re mine, and mine only.”

Kaili was nice, but she wasn’t going to leave the joke hanging, and unlike Allyson she didn’t flip out. She pulled away from Allyson and exposed her teeth with another grin. There was something more urgent to talk about other than jealousy and the holding off on it.

“Now, can we please eat the pizza already? I am starving.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

The tug and the kiss only reassured Allyson that the jealousy was well placed in a sort of weird way. She cared about Kaili and beyond that she only wanted to care about Kaili. Others had come and gone, but there was something that bound her to the blonde. Allyson never thought she’d have this, someone that worried about you and wanted you to come home. Remembering her parents and their relationship, she never really saw that love and compassion for each other. She knew her father loved her mother, but she really didn’t understand if it was reciprocated.

It was reciprocated enough for her and her brother to be conceived for the most part. Grabbing a slice of pizza, she avoided making a crude joke about Kaili starving and possibly try to get another lay out of the girl. She was tired a little bit, not too much if Kaili was ready to go she was too. She couldn’t get enough of the her, but there needed to be time for them to relax and to just enjoy the other’s company. The thought was foreign to Allyson, but it seemed to be something Kaili was determined to have. “Yeah it looks really good, as long as there’s no pineapples I’m happy.”

Grabbing the slice, that Kaili had brought for herself, Allyson took a bite and sighed with happiness. “This is so good; they need to make every pizza like this!” Grinning after she had swallowed the bite she nodded. “I’m happy to be yours and yours only, by the way.” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili’s eyes narrowed. That was her pizza traversing down Allyson’s throat. A small wave of bitterness washed over her but she couldn’t keep it up. There were more pieces and if that was the one that Allyson wanted then that was fine too. Kaili got up to grab herself another slice, one with the spinach and some sort of special salty cheese. An odd combination that just worked. She took the first bite to ensure Allyson wouldn’t have it before she took her seat again. Lazy hand strayed for the remote as she flicked the movie on. A big red text faded before them:

Brawn of the Dead.

Kaili rushed to finish the rest of her piece before her head find it’s place on Allyson’s shoulder.

“I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen this movie. The filmmakers are geniuses, I love their stuff.”

More time would pass, more pizza would be eaten until eventually the inevitable happened. Kaili curled up on the couch, placed her head on Allyson’s thigh for comfort. A deep sigh passed her lips and nose. Just like that, the woman had fallen asleep again. The second movie started to play as the world faded to the black nothingness of Kaili’s dreamscape.

At least she wasn’t drooling anymore.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson only ate a couple of pieces, she knew what would happen if she decided to scarf down as many pieces as the blonde who was next to her. Groaning slightly she felt her stomach knot up for a second and then let go. Seems she had been good enough to stop herself before anything started to aggravate her stomach too much. The movie night continued and Kaili had slowly moved from leaning against Allyson’s shoulder to now cuddling comfortably on her lap. The first thought that went through Allyson’s mind was the drool factor.

Carefully she moved a finger just under the girl’s corner of her mouth to check. There was nothing which made Allyson relax just a little bit. Allyson yawned for a moment and then realized she was stuck here. Kaili was asleep and didn’t seem like she was interested in waking up at any particular moment that was soon enough for Allyson to get comfortable herself and fall asleep. She would give up for the moment and watch the second film while Kaili watched the back of her eyelids. A hand gently moved down and stroked softly through the blonde’s hair as if she was a soft cuddly cat.

The film came to a conclusion and Allyson reached for the remote. She shut off the television and looked at her small watch around her wrist. “Feth, it's really one in the morning?” Looking down, Kaili seemed far too peaceful. Sighing softly Allyson grabbed one of the couch pillows and tucked it behind her head. Closing her eyes she relaxed the best she could and let Kaili use her as a pillow. Falling asleep didn’t take as long as she had expected it to. Possibly she was overly tired from her trip and the night before.
Morning soon came...[member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Liam Quez]

Morning wasn’t going to be as peaceful as Kaili and Allyson have had the past few mornings they had shared together. A boy a year or so older than Kaili wandered through the small walkway leading to the girl’s workshop and apartment. He had been giving the information when Kaili first opened up her little droid building workshop. It was her way of starting out and getting help from her friends who might need some droids built. To her dismay, it was the case that neither Ibaris or Liam needed a droid built. They had the mutt that Ibaris kept with her. Still, seeing that it had been a few years since he had seen Kaili Talith - Liam decided to announce a visit.

He had written her a quick message about a day ago letting her know that he was in Borleian territory. Ibaris had some business to take care of and didn’t need him at her side. So to pass the time he would venture over to Borealis to visit the girl who seemed to have hermit herself from the rest of the pack. He did worry, she was like the kid sister of the group. Everyone picked on her and everyone looked out for her, it was just how it was.

Also helped that she was pretty cute, that always got Liam to pay just a little bit more attention to her. Never getting an answer to his message, he assumed she had read it and was ready for his arrival. In a plain shirt and slacks, the well built mando youth stood at her door and stared at the doorbell. In his mind, he figured she would be waiting with cookies and lemonade or something for him to arrive. There was no welcoming party and the slightly disappointed lad sighed and pushed his finger against the doorbell. Nothing happened and being impatient he rang it a few times.

“KAAAAIIIIILLLLLIIII TAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLITH ARE YOU HOOOOOOOOME?”

[member="Allyson Locke"] [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili muttered in her sleep before she stretched her arms out to wake up. Her neck hurt, her back hurt, her entire being hurt and it was all thanks to the couch. She rubbed at her neck to stifle the pain. It had been so long since Allyson had spoken of the pain it had caused, and Kaili had never had any real reason to crash on it. Not that Allyson did anymore either. Her hand gently clawed against Allyson’s cheek in a failed attempt to caress it. Everything was going as expected until…

… Liam Quez…

The blonde rose up from the sofa and yawned. Her arms stretched far and wide before she got up, got back into her pants and drowsily waltzed on over towards the door. There was a half eaten pizza left. None of the good parts either. Figures. Kaili rolled her eyes before looking back at Allyson. A hand remotely ushered her to get dressed or take a shower, anything to ensure she had the propriety that Kaili was already lacking. She swept away the curls on her forehead and with a quick yet rough exhale she cleared her throat.

“Hi, Liam.” Kaili groaned as the light from the outside world struck her right in the eyes. A hand raised out to block it out, and in an isntant she recoiled at what she saw. “Wow, you’ve… Grown.” Muscular. “I, uh, haven’t seen you in ages.”

Lazy yawn.

“Ibby with you?”

[member="Liam Quez"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson felt the fingertips dig slightly into her cheek, this meant that the girl in her lap was awake and was desiring some sort of attention. Sitting and sleeping on the couch wasn’t as bad as lying on it, which was a good thing for Allyson. Eyes blinked open groggily as she instantly regretted staying up as late as she did. It didn’t help that Kaili was clinging to her leg and eventually had wormed her arms around Allyson’s waist in the middle of the night. Kaili moved a lot faster than usual and with the hand gestures she figured she needed to get dressed and ready for something. Standing she grabbed a shirt which obviously wasn’t hers and a pair of short shorts and headed into the wash room.

What ever conversation that happened between the boy at Kaili’s door and Kaili herself, was left unnoticed by the half asleep Allyson Locke. She disappeared into the refresher and soon found her body under the warm water of the shower head. It didn’t take her long to wake up in the shower and finish cleaning off, which was probably a good thing since they technically had company. Brushing her teeth and finally dressing her towel dried body, Allyson stepped out of the bathroom wearing Kaili’s slightly snug shirt around her frame and the pair of running shorts she had grabbed on the way in. Her hair being dried by the towel in her hand she stood in the hallway and yawned slightly as she attempted to stretch - which caused the white too short t-shirt to rise up slightly showing off her midsection - which was by all means toned to perfection.

The smuggler continued about her business as she continued to dry off her hair and catch up with anything on her datapad. A few swipes here and there she deleted unwanted email or jobs she found no interest in. [member="Kaili Talith"] [member="Liam Quez"]

 

[Liam Quez]

Kaili was always shorter than the others well for the most part. Her height was average, but she seemed to be about Ibaris’ size. From behind, most couldn’t tell the two blonde girls apart. Liam though, he could tell who was who. Ibaris had a nice little round bottom and Kaili’s looked kind of like an apple. The boy would be lying if he stated that he didn’t take a gander at the girls that surrounded his life while he was growing up. For a time being Kaili Talith was on the radar of the young Liam. Though, his heart was set on one girl and she was quite difficult. Speaking of that one girl, Kaili finally opened the door and pleasantries were exchanged.

Liam raised both of his arms and put them behind his head, in his own subtle way of showing how defined his muscles really were. He worked out and he enjoyed the hand to hand combat training he received from some of the mandalorians his father knew along with getting personal training from Ibaris’ Papa Ashin Varanin. It had its perks to be best friends forever with the daughter of a high prolific power couple. Also, Spencer Varanin was hot af.

“Heyo Kaili! Grown? Ah uh yeah! Few inches taller a bit more muscle on me. I picked up blacksmithing so carrying materials just kind of you know bullked me up.” The man-child quickly swooped in and scooped the Talith girl into a bear hug. She always smelled like a mixture of ocean and droid grease and in a weird way he was totally into that. Putting her back down, he finally answered the question about Ibaris. “Err, she’s doing some alchemy work or whatever. I just made her some mixed metals and the like so when she’s working she likes to be alone. I saw that we were in your system so I decided to drop by!”

It was in this moment, he poked his head into the apartment and locked onto the girl that was just stepping out of the shower. “I was...going...to...ask...about...uh...your uh…” Liam watched intently and the wheels in his head started to work and hormones started to kick in. “Brother, what's uh Micah...MIcah been up to?” Liam did his best to break eye contact with Allyson’s running shorts and make solid eye contact with Kaili, but it was so hard...so so hard. [member="Allyson Locke"] [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili grinned at the man and his subtle attempts at flexing. Liam hadn’t changed much, he was still that boy in the group that looked at her weird for reasons she couldn’t really figure why. The sidekick to Ibaris, yet really not. He wouldn’t have been here if he was. No, Liam was to Kaili much of the same as anyone else in the Brat Pack was; extended family. Laura, Mara, Ibaris, Liam and even Mira with her awkward brother. The last two of which Kaili never actually had any close personal connection with. She had been far too distant to actually partake in things, but she had tried. The least she could do was hope they remembered her, or something.

The girl was enveloped by a pair of strong, muscular arms. The bear hug was returned in full as she too proceeded in an attempt to crush the lungs of her hugger. Ibaris was doing ‘alchemy work’ and Liam was free to wander. The boy poked his head into her home and just like that the eye contact that the two of them had was gone. She turned around to look at what he was watching only to have her eyes set on Allyson in a very snug pair of shorts. Kaili’s teeth dug in deep within her lower lip before she shook herself out of it.

… Something that Liam seemed to have troubles with.

“Oh, uh, right.” She cleared her throat. “Micah is fine. Off chasing birds, or something. As in, actually chasing feathered birds. Pheasants.”

Still made for a delicious meal though.

Eyes strayed back and forth between Allyson and Liam.

“Uh, right. Liam, that’s Allyson.” She extended her hand to usher the man inside. “Allyson, this is Liam. Liam Quez.”

“You knoooww... Turkeyboy. I told you about me knowing him before, remember?”

[member="Liam Quez"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

[SIZE=10pt]Finally, being brought into the conversation, Allyson looked up as a tall man was brought into the living quarters. Fixing herself the best she could, Allyson moved and stood beside Kaili then extended her hand outward to shake hands with the man. Hands were shaken and she began to speak for herself remembering the conversation her and Kaili had back at the restaurant about the turkey. “Oh yeah, beautiful product I really enjoyed it. Your turkeys are the best you can get on the market right now and its really amazing that it’s all affordable too.” Humble beginnings, price for product always mattered to Allyson, even though she really didn’t need to worry too much about money – having access to the Rekali funds helped, but she didn’t want to overstep her welcome. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]That smile, the one that welcomed Kaili when Allyson first walked into her shop six plus something more weeks ago. It was being given to Liam who seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Turning her attention to Kaili who didn’t introduce her as a girlfriend or the girl that she’s sleeping with, she smiled and then looked towards Liam with admiration. “You’re a big one eh?” She reached out and ran her hands down his bicep and then patted it for good measure. Guys like this were fairly simple, Allyson thought quietly of the few she had run into and eventually convinced to work for her for free and then get left planet side with a broken heart. Meatheads. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]“So you and Kaili know each other? Are you from the infamous group that she used to run around with back in the day?” Allyson smiled wider as she glanced at Kaili, she wondered why she didn’t introduce her as her girlfriend, was there something that was missing? Did Allyson not fit the quota for girlfriend material? Maybe there was more to the situation at hand between her and Kaili or that she might have assumed a bit too much. Either way, Allyson brushed the hair from her face and attempted to pull the shirt that was showing her midsection slightly downward. The trouble when you grab the girl you were sleeping with clothing instead of your own. [member="Liam Quez"] [member="Kaili Talith"][/SIZE]

 

[Liam Quez]

[SIZE=10pt]“Turkeyboy?”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Liam blinked as the brunette made her way towards them and he was introduced along with being labeled turkeyboy. Before he could protest against the nickname, the girl remarked saying how she had enjoyed his father’s turkeys. Chest puffed outward in pride and he ran his hand through his blonde hair making sure that his biceps flexed in the process. He might have been in love with the girl he was originally hired to pilot for, then suddenly found himself friends and in his mind hopefully lovers with, but that didn’t stop him from flirting with pretty girls. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]He was completely unaware of Kaili’s reaction to the girl and her short shorts. If he was aware of it, he might not have continued to turn on the charms. Which he did especially after the girl named Allyson ran her hands along his bicep. His pride and joy. Her question was asked and he nodded and explained his and Kaili’s relationship for the most part. “Yep, met Kaili and her siblings with the brat pack – bunch of kids doing their thing. Now we’re almost adults I guess we kind of splintered off into our own little projects, but when we get the chance we try and get together which is why I’m here to check up on little Kaili here.” Nodding towards the girl beside him, he kept his attention on Allyson.[/SIZE]

I’m in the sector for some time and I can show you more of my muscles.” Grinning, he knew what he was doing and it was pretty out there. Allyson seemed to like his muscles, right? Girls dug them and would totally date anyone who had em. There was no claim on the girl from Kaili so he thought he’d just go with it. One date couldn’t hurt and it wasn’t like he was going to push it any farther than dinner and maybe a smooch. Ibaris would have his head if he did any more than that.
