Have fun!

[Supernatural]

Ephram and Josh


"What am I thinking??" he expressed as Josh chuckled slightly. "Its just a girl." he stated to his friend that seriously needed to calm down. "Sure its just a girl but when you are not exactly boyfriend kind of material, just a girl is not all that roams through your mind!" he added as Josh shook his head and cracked open a soda.

"Why are you so afraid to let anyone in, I mean sure, the whole touchy thing can be a problem but you have been around long enough to get around that. Just have fun, get to know her, talk, relax." he told him and Ephram sighed heavily. "You don't understand." he said to him and Josh laughed with that. "I don't understand, come on." he stated to him seriously.

"Well its different for you." he added to Josh. "No, its not. you know, when I was younger, I knew that I had to hide my abilities...this girl, she was taking a leap off of the school building I was in, trying to kill herself and I went to help her, then I was scared. I knew that would out me and in the meantime, she died because I was too scared to do what I know I could have done to begin with." he stated as Eph raised a brow.

"You know, your pep talks have alot to be desired. I don't feel better, I feel worse." he let him know. he remembered killing the d*mned dog. At least it wasn't a chick like that, that really was a bite. "I am saying that we all have things we have done, or not done, in different ways, but we all come to the same thing in the end Eph, none of us really want to be alone." he said sincerely. But he was always pretty much alone, breaking things and making them disappear, didn't do well for his friend list.

His own parents didn't even want him.

"Now, how can you get over this, but by improving your dating skills by getting the practice you need to become a skilled dater?" he requested as Eph thought a moment.

"Unsure about how someone really feels about you? Learn to hear what your date is saying by turning down the volume and listening to all the nonverbal messages coming from his or her facial expressions, overall posture, hands and especially the eyes. If the person leans toward you and maintains an inviting posture, that’s a positive cue. Avoiding eye contact and crossing arms, on the other hand, would be negative cues. So you in turn need to watch that because you have a tendnacy to cross your arms all the time." he stressed.

"With good reason!" Eph emphatically stated as he accidently knocked over his drink and Josh reached out and stopped it midstream. "Thanks man, that would have been one h*ll of a mess." he said to him as he snatched it out of the air and held it before Josh let it go.

"Ok, I get it, its cool, i'll go pick her up from her and." he said as Josh raised a brow.

"And?"...

"And if this goes south Jay, you are in so much trouble when I get back, its not funny." he said as Josh chuckled and made a face. "Works for me" he teased then pointed to the door as Eph headed out to go pick her up.

"So. Where are you taking her?" Josh asked. "I don't know, to eat." he shrugged. "What does she like?" he added as Eph held his hand on the door a moment. "Dude. I didn't really take a test before hand." he snipped. "You have to remember something in passing." Josh rolled his eyes as Eph thought a moment.

"Chinese. She said that she loves chinese." he smirked then with remembering that.

"There you go." Josh nodded. "See how hard was that?" he added. "Yeah, when you are through with my wii, you best turn it all of, last time, you left it all on." he reminded him as Josh was scooting him out of the door before he had one of his temper tantrums on him. Eph had a short temper for sure, sometimes worse than even Caleb and that is saying something.

"Later man." Josh said as he closed the door after him and smirked.

That boy would learn yet...

[Supernatural]

Caleb and Kyle


You really should tell the rest you know." Kyle suggested as he was docking up Caleb who had pretty much went against everyone and heded out to hunt all by himself. "teach duringteh day, doctor up the ret of the time, are you going to talk me to death or are you going to stop the bleeding?" Caleb was in a fowl mood.

"This wasn't from."... but Caleb cut him off. "No it was from branches, all scratching me when I was running after the son of a b*tch so get to fixing and stop with the questions already will you." he spouted.

"It never occurred to me that you were choosing work over being with that sweet little biscuit, you stupid piss ant!" Kyle could give as good as he gets when it came to Caleb as he frowned and looked at Kyle. "What sweet little biscuit? I think you have been nipping in your drug supply." he insinuated.

"Not following orders, going out on your own all the time, pent up frustration, no dates...you know, one day you might want kids, then you should write all that down in your journal, how you should follow rules that apply...then your kids can read about it when you're dead." he stated as he slapped the bandage on and Caleb growled as he pulled his arm away.

"Just dont run your trap. Clear?" Caleb put his shirt back on. "I'm fine." he added. "Plus don't we have that patient doctor thing there?" he asked. "Thats for a full fledged doctor, I am more of a teacher slash scientist, lucky you." he smirked. "Ok, talk and I take you out and leave you for scraps for the f8cks to munch on, are we hearing now?" he asked s Kyle saluted him.

"Loud and clear misser masser, I do exactly what you say." he said snippy. "Cute, Just remember that you said that and a promise is a promise." Caleb added, staring him down as he opened the door and headed out into the open air.

"Welcome!!" Kyle called out loudly. "Ungrateful b*stard." he muttered, tossing the bloody rag down and sighing...

Jessica

Wearing a black summer dress, Jessi was more nervous than any of the others times she'd been with Ephram. This time was an actual date. No bouts of her breaking off to serve a customer at the restuarant or wipe down a table. This was just the two of them.

Sat on the front pourch, she leant forward, resting her chin in her hands as she thought back on when she'd first met him. It had been late and he and a couple of others guys were drinking beers as she went round and cleaned up the tables near them. The whole thing had been pretty much instantanious.

His friends had ribbed him for staring and she'd thought he was hot with his dark eyes watching her and his gloved hands wrapped round his beer bottle. Flirting had been extremely easy too, she thought with a smile. Although, flirting there wasn't the problem. It was when it was just the two of them, she was worried about.

" Hi "

When he finally arrived, Jessi stood and almost grinned. Maybe worrying was stupid, seeing as he'd already come prepared, she realised. Carrying a bag of chinese, his smile was genuine as she rushed down to open the front gate.

" You remembered chinese ", smiling, she tried to peer into the top of the bag, nosily. .

[Supernatural]

Ephram


Seeing Jessica wearing that black summer dress, looking so pretty as she walked down to open the front gate for him. That smile was as brilliant as the brightest gemstone. Oh yeah -

He was toast.

' You remembered chinese ', smiling, she tried to peer into the top of the bag, nosily which had him chuckle. "So I did good then right?" he grinned as he pointed inside. "Even remembered the fortune cookies, tradition right?" he mused as he caught her glance and followed with her.

"And chop sticks." he chuckled. He rememebred the first time that she had tried to show him how to use the things, it had not been a pretty sight.

The way she skipped along beside him, her full lips slightly parted, it took his breath away to say the least. "You want to eat out here?" he offered. Out was probably better than alone inside.

On the porch, the way she looked, it was perfect really. "I wanted to ask you something but you sidetracked me." he said ot her as he set all of the things down and started to take them out for them.

She made so many emotins roam through him that he was still getting used to it all really, it was a good thing, a very good thing but he was so easily sidetracked with her smile or just a glance in his direction.

"I'm sure it will come to me eventually." he grinned as he handed her a napkin and a pair of the sticks. "Ok you, no laughing at me this time." he said amused as he tried to hold those darned things in his fingers, gloves on of course, not wanting to take a chance of anything accidental...

[JoWinchester]

Jessica

"Ok you, no laughing at me this time."

Mixing the rice, she took a big mouthful and let out a happy sigh. She'd deliberately not eaten so she could enjoy their date.

" But your so funny. . "

Ephram's withering look only served to make her giggle as he was trying to vainly position his fingers around the sticks, only to have one slip as he got the second in place. When she was on her next few mouthfuls and he was still working on it. She finally caved and shuffled up close.

" Here "

Taking the box he'd chosen, she took his chopsticks and mixed them around for a moment, before lifting out some noodles and feeding them to him. When he swallowed a moment later, she giggled and pushed his shoulder to sit back against the porch railing, letting her lean against him as he was watching her.

" It's more fun this way " And a hell of a lot sexier too. . . , she realised, when his hand came up to steady hers.

A tingle worked it's way through her fingers and she curled her legs up under her, pausing to reached for another box and feed herself a prawn, licking a drible of juice with her tongue as it got on her lips. .

Jade

She hated these so-called trips her grandmother allowed her shopping.

Her hair loose and slightly wind blown, she was wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt with the dates for one of her old concerts on it as she scratched the back of her legs with her foot and turned over the cd in her hand.

This was the sort of music her grandmother didn't approve of, but didn't begrudge her it in her private time. Somethign she had little of, Jade thought with a sigh as she reached in her pocket and figured she had about £12 left of the 'spending money' she'd been gifted with.

Gifted with. .What a joke.

Here she was. A self-made multi biliionaire in her own right, and she was graced once every trip with $20 spending money.

'Don't spend it all at once on those rediculous little things you call clothes. The company give you perfetly good dresses to wear. Use those'

Coming to the mall in a floor length, black silk dress was a good idea, right? NOT.

Her grandmother contradictory words of 'don't cause a fuss' and then adding the piece on what to wear, was just a ticket to hold her back for even more practice as a supposed grounding.

No, the musical director wouldn't question her grandmother if she had done wrong and GOT herself grounded. She could talk herself out of that and always come out smelling like roses.

" You have 5 more minutes, Miss Jade "

Jerking round at the close voice of her newest german bodyguard, Jade backed up and bumped into the display of cd's, causing enough noise to draw several sets of eyes and a growl from HIM.

[Supernatural]

Ephram


' But your so funny. ' he rose a brow with that which she started to giggle as he was trying to vainly position his fingers around the sticks, only to have one slip as he got the second in place. When she was on her next few mouthfuls and he was still working on the first one she finally caved and shuffled up close to him.

' Here ' taking the box he'd chosen, she took his chopsticks and mixed them around for a moment, before lifting out some noodles and feeding them to him. When he swallowed a moment later, she giggled and pushed his shoulder to sit back against the porch railing, letting her lean against him as he was watching her.

' It's more fun this way ' oh she was definately right, way more fun, but his hand came up to steady hers as he jumped a little then realizing what he did to let her go as she reached for another box and feed herself a prawn, licking a dribble of juice with her tongue as it got on her lips.

Oh yeah, its a very good thing we are outside... he noted watching her then clearing his throat quickly. "So, did I pick out some good stuff here?" he asked her trying to get back to the eating and not the almost video like appeal of her licking and sucking on that thing that about made him want to jump her right there.

No no, out of your mind cation warning, Eph man, you definately need to get a grip... he chanted inside his head. "This is nice,." he said then to her as she gave him another bite and he smiled afterward. "Thanks." he added. "Next time, i'll tell them to stick a fork in there too for me for the guy that can't hold the sticks to eat with." he mused. "Find me a drum and I can play you a tune with them though." he teased...


Josh

So, Eph was out on his date adn he was hoping that things were going good, he knew how much he like the girl, but he also knew how much he worried about everything that being with him entailed.

' You have 5 more minutes, Miss Jade ' he glanced up off of his side where he was looking for the latest Shinedown cd, Jade backed up and bumped into the display of cd's, causing enough noise to draw several sets of eyes and a growl from HIM.

(Don't know who HIM is so I just took it as her bodyuard lol)

Josh went over and started to help pick up the things that went everywhere. "Hey, its no big thing, See, easy to fix." he said as the guy looked like he as ready to skin him and a cat too for fun.

"Jade right, don't know if you remember me, Josh?" he asked her as he was stacking the things back onto the display for her while talking to her.

"I swear that the isles get closer and closer it seems fon't they?" he grinned then as he looked at her his dark eyes boreing into hers, she was so pretty, he noticed ehr quite a few times, thing was he nevr really knew if she knew that he even existed...

[JoWinchester]

Jade

"I swear that the isles get closer and closer it seems, don't they?", her cheeks flushing at the attention, she tucked some hair behind her ear and knodded.

" There's always another two or three isles, whenever i come back . ."

The shine of the overhead light on the cd case in her hand was drowned out, and Jade turned, looking up to the huge bodyguard with a silent glare as he reached for it, forcing it back into the stand.

" We must leave. NOW, miss Jade "

Glancing back at Josh, she opened her mouth to apologise, but was cut off again as she got grabbed and turned round, her body forcibly walked to the door as she managed a quick wave and mouthed 'sorry' as they got outside and she could see him through the window.

" I still had 5 minutes. ."

Back at the SUV, Jade spoke quietly on command as she got helped back in and buckled up, her small bag in her lap as the car pulled out from the underground carpark and headed back for the Ritz Carlton, they were currently staying in.

" Your grandmother says you have a fitting with Mr. Mauritz for tonight "

" T-Tonight? But-. .She told me i only had one performance, this morning "

The guard slid his sunglasses down his nose enough to glare at her from the mirror and she shuffled back into her seat, twisting the handle of her bag round her fingers, nervous of those eyes.

" She says tonight is a private performance. A special one "

Swallowing at the obvious double entendre, Jade tried to cover the sudden flutter of nausiea and tried to focus back on the guy she had been thinking about for the last 4 1/2 months. .Josh. .

Jessica

" Any drum? "

Surprising him, Jessica suddenly giggled as she offered up another king prawn, licking her fingers as she watched him chew and swallow a second later.

" My uncle had a set of bongos, he-. .H-He bought them back from our last vacation ", trying to stop her giggles at the memories, Jess raised her eyebrows for a moment in a playful challenge, before waving it off with a laugh.

" Nah, their completely awful. Bright orange and covered in these tassle things ", giggling away, she reached for a spring roll, one hand underneath it, as she held it up to Ephram's mouth for him. .

[Supernatural]

Josh


Josh watched as Jade was forcibly walked toward the door, pulled away yet again, which this definately was not the first time as she managed a quick wave and mouthed 'sorry' before they got outside and she could see him through the window while he was still watching her through the window as well.

"So, sorry about all this, I have whatever the damage is." he said to the assistant behind the counter while the other one looked like he was going through a serious panic attack with a mix of high blood pressure after the whole scene that took place.

"Ok, i'll take this too." he sat his things up there on the counter as well and took out his card, handing it over to him as he reached down and grabbed his favorite gum now, the one that he chews all of the time now because it was pretty addictive and it saved flavor pretty good.

It is called Five, his favorite kind that they have is cinnamon but he had watermelon now up on the counter, still trying to get the image of the way that she looked out of his mind as she was being taken out of there and away from him. He was a no no of course, he always has ben a no no and he knew that would never change, no matter what he wanted of they wanted.

"Thanks, and ummm, sorry about the mess." he said to them both as he paid and signed the copy then grabbed the bags and headed out of there and to the parking lot to place everything inside and sit down taking a deep nbreath nd running his hands through his hair as he truied to get a grip on what to think about everything that had just happened.

Even after all of the time that went by, he still couldn't get her out of his mind but he also knew that there would never be a quient place for them to just be and there would never be a them because there was just way too much money involved with her and her career to have him as the imposition. Of course she never felt that way, but when you are young, its so hard to fight for what you want when you are in that position.

And so he knew without a doubt that they would remain starcrossed. But then again, all those kinds of movies always had happy endings didn't they? So would they actually find their happy ending that they had been wanting? Wishing on that star and get that wish to come true? he sighed and he headed onto the street, thoughts of her clouded his mind and he wished that things could be different...



Ephram


She was sure giggling alot which was a good thing, they were aving fun together, the lock was opened and they were free to be. He could be himself with her, easy going not the hard a$$ that he has to be when he neds to be.

' My uncle had a set of bongos, he-. .H-He bought them back from our last vacation ', trying to stop her giggles at the memories, Jess raised her eyebrows for a moment in a playful challenge, before waving it off with a laugh as he watched her curiously.

She always mesmerized him, always kept him enthralled in things that she did or the way that she looked at things and experienced them, him looking through her eyes and experiencing them through her eyes, it was definately a way to have him hooked and hooked he was.

' Nah, their completely awful. Bright orange and covered in these tassle things ', giggling away, she reached for a spring roll, one hand underneath it, as she held it up to Ephram's mouth for him. "Mmmm." he said as she chewed looking at her and smirking slightly. "This was a good idea." he stated to her as he knew that if he spent too much time there that he would want what he just could not have and it wouldn't be good for eitehr of them.

"Sp heard anything from the rest of the group, what are we supposed to do next, hold down the Chick Fillet? Rush the Burger Barn?" he teased as he reached for a napkin the same time and pulled his hand back instinctively. Even with his gloves on he always is afraid that he will end up harming her somehow because there was nothing more than he wanted than to feel her skin with his.

"Sorry." he said to her as he handed her one to her and smiled slightly. She knew his fears and why he was the way he was and why he was so careful, wanting to be outside and not inside and it had to be maddening to her as much as it was for him.

"Jess?" he said then swallowing before he continued. "Is there any time that you you know, you kind of think that you might be scared you know, of accidently." he licked his lips and looked at her. "Touch me, you now, really touch me." he said emphatically. "I mean I just don't know how you, what you get out of this its, its just so unfair." he growned slightly and tossed his napkin inside an empty...

[JoWinchester]

Jess

Watching him throw the napkin away with a growl, Jess took a deep breath and tucked some hair behind her ear, waiting till he sat back again.

" I get the feeling even when i just think of you. . "

Ephram's eyes snapped to her's and Jess could see the guilt practically eating him up as she moved to fill the last gap of space between them.

" When we first met, i-. .I touched you. Remember? ", smiling sadly, she licked her lips and let her eyes follow the route of his arm, elbow to wrist, as she remembered that one touch and how it felt.

" You didn't even notice that other girl beside you, talking. You just asked me my name and if i wanted a drink. ."

'Then never touched me again'

Quickly shushing that small angry voice in the back of her mind, Jess chewed her lip as she couldn't stop her eyes moving over his body, finding all the places they could have accidently brushed or where they could have just kissed eachother on the 2nd and 3rd date. .

Right up till now, she had been driving herself insane for weeks with insecurites of why he couldn't touch her. Was she really repulsive and he just felt sorry for her? Or was he really just wanting to make it a friends thing?

When he finally said that he wished he could kiss her, Jess had thought she was dreaming and had nearly hyperventilated over her pizza on that date.

" Since then, I've-. .", closing her eyes for a second, she felt just a touch of guilt at how it must feel for Ephram when she spoke so honestly. But if she didn't say it, she knew she'd be twice as crazy for just keeping quiet.

Leaning till there was just a breath of space between them, Jess gently blew against the skin behind his ear, working a slow trail down his neck, before she whispered about how she'd touched herself that first night.

" Every time we get together, it's exactly the same. .I spend hours just thinking of different ways we can be together. On other sides of a room and yet you always bring me off the same way. ."

Her voice getting breathless, she swallowed and finally had to get up, leaving Ephram staring as she quickly picked up the empty boxes of chinese and headed inside and to the kitchen to dump them in the trash.

She'd finally admitted all the niggling little secrets, all the nights she spent imagining his hands on her body, kissing her, tasting her in ways that really could, only be dreams.

" Shit! ", forcing the half empty box in her hands into the bin, Jess leant against the kitchen counter as she tried to get herself under control and wipe the tears from her eyes, that had started to gather.

Stood for a few minutes and hearing nothing but silence, she swallowed at the lump in her throat, painfully. She had to have chased him away, she realized, as she turned around with a sniffle. .

Jade

Swallowing as she watched the young couple infront of her, Jade could feel something so wholesome that it was almost blinding to look at them, as they stopped and looked over the dress she'd been told she had to wear tonight.

It was thin and made of a rare silk that she couldn't even pronounce the name of, as the man held out a single white rose with a ribbon that made her almost choke.

" T-ThankYou. ."

" ThankYou, dear. That was beautiful "

Her eyes focusing on the man, Jade couldn't hold her power back at all. It delved towards his soul like a junkie on it's first fix after rehab. It was shocking to see the man was completely pure. His intentions were to-. .And then Jade gasped so loudly, that she felt a huge hand clamp on her arm as she almost stumbled.

" Miss Jade? "

The sudden touch of her bodyguard was like a taint that made her jerk away as she man helped her to a chair, pulling one up to sit beside her.

" I'd love to ask you some more about that piece you played. ."

When her bodyguard backed off with a glare from her grandmother, Jade blinked at him, as she gently squeazed her hand.

" We're from a private organisation, Jade. .Your father hired us "

" Father-? ", struggling for breath, Jade could feel everything starting to spin, the room blurring round the edges.

" I-Is this really happening? "

The guy darted a look to his wif, who spun her grandmother around and stole her attention, and Jade focused herself more, glancing to her bodyguard, who was suddenly distracted with a few words also.

" We're special. Just like you are. That's what'll get you out of here and home, ok? But you have to trust us? "

" Oh god . .", swallowing, Jade was wide eyed as the woman actually led her grandmother and bodyguard out of the room and she shot up off her chair.

" W-What is she-. .! ", arms held her fast, and Jade gave a frightened look at the man.

Had she read him wrong? Was he a bad man, after all?

" Everything's going to be ok, Jade. But we have to get your things and go back, before Alison loses control over your Grandmother. She's a very strong willed woman "

Walking quickly with the man through the hotel, she was surprised to find that nobody was paying them the least attention. It was surprising as Jade went up in the elevator and down the long hall to the suite with him.

" W-What about my things, I-. . I can't go without my things "

Her stuffed teddy from when she was a baby, the only photo of her parents that her grandmother had never found. .Rushing to her room, she started snatching the things from various hiding spots under the bed, behind the dresser and the wardrobe. Even the man seemed surprised as she dragged a sock out from under her matress with a huge wad of bills in it.

" But your grandmother- "

" Doesn't know that i save a lot of my money. .She never lets me go out, so it built up, i guess? "

The man seemed to accept that and helped ehr pack up what bits she had, before calling down for a bellhop to take her bags to the back entrance and give them to a waiting limousine.

When they came down moments later, Jade was surprsed to find her grandmother asleep beside her newest bodyguard on a loveseat near reception with the man's so called wife waiting and looking at her nails. .

Alison

Looking up as her partner arrived, Alison finally let out a sigh of relief. These two had been hard customers to control. Especially the grandmother. She hated not having control over the girl.

" We have to hurry. She's a hard one to keep under "

The girl was slightly red in the face and was crushing the silk skirt of her dress in her hand, nervously, as Alison reched out, making her jerk and blink, widely.

" I'm Alison. .But you can call me, Ali, ok? "

" Ok "

Taking the girl's hand, Alison couldn't help the wash of motherly feelings as she brushed some hair back form the smaller brunettes eyes and smiled.

" We're going to get you home, Jade. I promise "

Wtaching the girl stare at her grandmother, Alison tried to distract her till her partner had got the limousine to drive around front and pick them up like they were going to dinner.

" Tell them we're metting the grandmother at the restaurant "

Repeating the words as they got stopped outside, Alison begged Jade to play it up as best she could, till finally they were being helped into the Limo and it started to pull away.

When Jade spun in her seat to look out the back window, Alison wasn't surprised to see tears in the girls eyes and moved over to slip an arm around her shoulder's as she looked to her partner, Darren.

Stockholme Syndrome was common in a case such as this, where the abductee had been held for so long for their powers that even with their shabby treatment, they felt a loss when they finally got to leave.

" Shh. .It's going to be ok. .", pressing a kiss to Jade's head as the girl cried, Alison was glad to be home barely 20 minutes later and she let them in through the private extrance of her home.

The girl was numb it seemed as Alison put her in a room with her things and left her to bathe and dress, and she talked with her senior about rehabilitation.

She was timid and obviously afraid when she finally appeared nearly 2 hours later and asked if she had a piano. Alison was glad to say that the MPA had gone all out and brought one in for the girl to cling to.

SAhe played for hours and Alison just let it go on till she helped her crawl back to her room to sleep. As she watched her, Alison decided that would be the key. Music. She would take her out to one of the smaller music stores tomorrow, once she helped her get her appearance altered and some new clothes, and would buy her every type of music the girl had never heard of and let her immerse herself in that.

That was her plan, she decided that night, as she got into her own bed. She'd bring the girl around with music. .

Ephram


" When we first met, I-. .I touched you. Remember? ", smiling sadly, she licked her lips and let her eyes follow the route of his arm, elbow to wrist, as she remembered that one touch and how it felt and so did he.

' You didn't even notice that other girl beside you, talking. You just asked me my name and if I wanted a drink.' he put his head down. 'Then never touched me again' Jess chewed her lip as she couldn't stop her eyes moving over his body, finding all the places they could have accidently brushed or where they could have just kissed each other on the 2nd and 3rd date but how to explain this to her?

Right up till now, she had been driving herself insane for weeks with insecurites of why he couldn't touch her. He couldn't fathom what she was thinking inside. Was she really repulsive and he just felt sorry for her? Or was he really just wanting to make it a friends thing? He didn't know what to say to her to get her to understand this was not her, it was him. If only he knew that she had a few 'talents' of her own. That she has issues with the word 'freak' as much as he does.

When he finally said that he wished he could kiss her, Jess caught on that it definately was not any kind of he needs space thing. ' Since then, I've-. .', closing her eyes for a second, she felt just a touch of guilt at how it must feel for Ephram when she spoke so honestly but he wanted her to be honest. He liked that about her, he wanted to be honest with her too, tell her could he, should he?

Leaning till there was just a breath of space between them, Jess gently blew against the skin behind his ear, working a slow trail down his neck, before she whispered about how she'd touched herself that first night and it made every cell in his body come to life.

' Every time we get together, it's exactly the same. .I spend hours just thinking of different ways we can be together. On other sides of a room and yet you always bring me off the same way. ' Her voice getting breathless, she swallowed and finally had to get up, leaving Ephram staring, trying to catch his own breath that was getting out of hand as she quickly picked up the empty boxes of chinese and headed inside and to the kitchen to dump them in the trash.

She'd finally admitted all the little secrets, all the nights she spent imagining his hands on her body, kissing her, tasting her deliciously in ways that really could, only be dreamt. It is what he wanted more than anything. His parents couldn't even think of him as anything but a freak. Foster home, take him to the trash, that was their decision, what would she do, run screaming? Worse??

' Shit! ', forcing the half empty box in her hands into the bin, Jess leant against the kitchen counter as she tried to get herself under control and wipe the tears from her eyes, that had started to gather there as he had stood up, he walked to the door and laid his hand on it lightly.

"I'm sorry." he said in a whisper. he was afraid to tell her, what would he be to her then, some kind of freak? It was a wonder she really didn't get into the whole reason he wore gloves and stuff anyway, the conversation that would be. "I' can't hurt you." he said and leand his hed against the door a moment then turned quickly before his legs wouldn't work.

Before his feet would be glued to that very spot because he didn't want to leave her or hurt her, he wanted more than anything to be with her, in more ways than one and more than in a distance as erotic as that truly was. She realized, as she turned around with a sniffle when she finally realized that he had taken off, angry at the predicament they had before them.

Not knowing what to do to set it right and slamming the door when he was finally in his safe place and lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling wishing that he didn't have to worry about things like hurting her or turning her invisible somehow while they were, oh so many possibilities and testing was not really a great way to say I care for you, I maye even love you? There was no telling what it might be like when they were well when he was so riled up, losing his hold, his concentration and he was not going to use her as a guinea pig to test it either.

He couldn't fix what their mess wasnow, but he closed his eyes and he imagined then all of the wonderful things that she had whispered to him about what she did, his breath coming in gasps as he knew that at least he couldn't hurt himself by dreaming like her, of her hand massaging him now like it was, of the tenderness she would bestow upon him, every scene imaginable he had of the two of them together and before he knew it he was calling out her name as he just exploded and fell back upon the bed, whispering her name as he wanted this to not be a dream for either of them any longer, he wanted it to be real.

"So, how did it go?" Josh came in an dhe didn't even hear him as he kjumped and covered himself up and, kind of cleaned 'things' up quickly. "D*mn it, don't you even knock??" Ephram bellowed as Josh made an ooo sound and apologized. "Sorry dude, I didn't think that you would be taking things into your own hands and ewww that so better not be my blue shirt that you just took and ewww dude thats so gross!!" he pointed and made a face as Ephram smirked with that cocky way of his.

"Well now, that will teach you to surprise me again that way now won't it, and teach you to place your clothes away when you are done with them too, not leave them in grab reach!!" he said to him agitation in his tone. "Yeah, right, geee thanks, i'll try to remember that and when you are all ummm through, there...just toss that in the trash. No offense but I don't care how many times you wash that, ummm- no." Josh shook his head and headed to the door ten stopped right before leaving.

"Just tell her, she will understand. Give her a chance to know and decide for herself man, if hse cares for you it won't matter." he said to him as Ephram sighed and tossed the shirt at him and hit him with it on the way out for privacy. "Oooo you are so going to regret that one!! Josh said through the door and headed into the bathroom to clean his hands and shoved the shirt in the trash.

"Favorite shirt too d*mn it!" he mumbled he did and Ephram was getting dressed again, his hand on the phone ready to call her and then he stopped himself. He is a hider, its what he does, he tells her, he comes clean, it might all be over, she may look at him like a freak and he would never see the way that she looked at him like tonight again in her eyes and he couldn't bear that...



Caleb


Dock'ed up by the Doc, who was none too happy with him right now, Caleb got out of there and headed out again, it was the only thing that he knew how to do and he was d*mned good at it and it was the only thing that made him feel like he was worth anything.

It reallt didn't tke him lomg to find a bad guy in progress of trying to take what he wanted from a female which was not one thing that Caleb had a stomach for and to him that made him worse than anything he fought with the rebels.

Slight tk and the guy was needless to say freaking, lucikly the girl was in shock enough to not catch that Caleb had just flung his arm and sent the creep flying into the opposite wall as he walked up toward him. "I think you are finished here, in this street, in this town in this state." he emphasized state before turning back and helping the girl.

They were near the club Spanx, he was not great at the sweet talking stuff but he was trying wth her, as he told her that everything was alright, he had scared the guy and chased him off, she was safe.

He didn't now she had powers of her own, the ability alter the atomic structure of inanimate matter down to the molecular level. She can affect an object’s density and mass as well, reconfiguring it into any shape or design that his imagination can conceive. This power is exclusive to inert material and can not successfully affect living biological mass. Any attempt to molecularly alter the characteristics of a living entity would result in a massive biofeedback of energy.

So why didn't she do it then, something...shock, afraid someone else might see her or maybe it was that she was so used to people trying to make a fast buck with her, even family that she needed to remain hidden.

In any event he was warm and sweet with her which was unusual with Caleb and he took her inside and thats when he saw Lynn, making her come over with them a she held her up against him and tried to help he rknow she was alright. "Please, take her back and help her clean up, she needs, a girl right now." he added. "I won't leave though, i'll be right there." he pointed and smiled slightly.

"I'm Caleb, and you are?"...'Caroline' her voice came out as she walked toward the bathrooms with Lynn and Caleb watched them walking, more Caroline that is, as he repeated her name and then walked toward the bar, asking for a Miller Light...

Caroline

Glancing over her shoulder one last time to her personal saviour, Caroline finally gave in and let herself be led into another room, pausing to watch several girls in tiny tops, skirt and shorts as they adjusted themselves and reapplied lipgloss.

" Come on, move it "

They moaned at Lynn, but did as they were told and left as Lynn sat her on a chair and gathered up a wad of toilet roll, pushing it under the tap and squeazing it out, before she walked back over and pressed it to the cut on her forehead.

Hissing slightly at the tingling, Caroline thanked her, watching as she dissapeared and reappeared a few seconds later with what looked like a scrap of cloth.

" Here. You're covered in crap from the alley. .This will have to do till Caleb gets you home "

Taking the cloth, Caroline blinked at the tiny tank top with a logo on the front saying 'Spanx'. The thing would barely even cover her boobs, it was that small as she let Lynn check the bleeding had stopped, before she helped her take off her dirty shirt and slip it on.

" You work here, right?. . ", raising an eyebrow at Lynn, the woman gave her a smirk and leant against the sink, checking her nails.

" I own the place. The tops are for the dancers, after hours "

" Dancers. . ? Ok. .", realising she'd been led to a sprip club, Caroline decided to cut her losses and thanked Lynn, following her out and back to find atleast 3 dancers in the skimpiest bikini's she had ever seen, ogling her would-be hero from the end of the bar.

" Hi. I er-. .", seeing him look her over, Caroline bit her bottom lip and crossed her arms. Not that it helped, as it only seemed to push her cleavage up even more.

" T-Thankyou. .For outside ", he was still glued on her breasts and it was starting to get an effect, as some of the strippers started giggling, whispering that 'big guy's hot for blondie' or 'blondie's got him hot'.

After another 5 minutes, Lynn finally went over and grabbed his attention with a hard shove and Caroline ducked her head slightly, letting her hair shift as she timidly touched the cut on her forehead, while the two spoke.

" Good luck, hunny "

Darting her head up, Caroline blinked as Lynn dissapeared and finally noticed they were alone now, as she turned, eyes widening slightly as she realised he was right up beside her, causing her to stumble and grab his arm.

" Sorry, you-. .You surprised me ", flashing a small smile, things slowed for a split second as she felt the warmth of his skin beneath her fingers and caught a whiff of citrus soap, before it all came rushing back to normal and she quickly let go, stepping back.

" Sorry "

Those little moments rarely happened anymore. Hadn't since she was a kid, as she shook it off and quickly thanked a barman as he set a beer infront of her, which she grabbed and took a long swallow off of.

As she relaxed more, she started to think on how she would find that guy-. .Correction. DEMON. And was going to blow his ass up into nothing but dust for playing her off like that.

Nice, NON-mutant killer boyfriends, were just so rare these days, that if she didn't take a risk, then she'd end up some spinster cat lady for the rest of her life, she mused.

Jessi

Still in the underwear she'd picked to 'surprise' Ephram with, she was laid vertically across her bed, hand resting on her stomach as she tried to catch her breath from the time she'd spent 'alone' again with BOB.

Grunting in disgust, she flung the pink vibrator across the room, flinching slightly as it hit the wall with a bang, but too lazy to get up and pick it up yet, as she turned onto her side and looked at the phone on the bedside table.

It was the same for the last couple of dates they'd had. She end up coming home, wound tight as a coil and aching and had to work it off with BOB before she did something crazy stupid and actually raped Ephram's ass.

BOB wasn't cutting it anymore though, as she snatched the phone and dialled the number from memory, waiting as it rang and she bit her lip. When it picked up and he spoke, Jessi took a deep breath and just said it.

" I need you, Ephram. .", on her stomach, she held the phone with one hand, while she dragged her other hand through her hair, moving it off her chest and neck, spreading it back over the pillow beneath her head.

" I just-. .I-I can't stand it anymore. .", her breathing catching slightly at her new idea, she heard him move and his breathing over the line as she let her finger just slip beneath the top of her panties, touching the soft skin above the v of her thighs, her breath catching slightly at the tingles it spread through her.

" Just-. .Tell me what you'd do. I-If you could. .Please. .", her voice going breathless, she waited on bated breath. Practically begging him to atleast try. Even if it wasn't exactly the real thing. .
