*craig had taken a greeat deal of care with the house. It was huge, an old warehouse, and had taken some cash to refurbish... but there was a huge open unfinished end to the home as well - amost 5 thousand square feet of concrete floor with high old wooden paned windows. With the last two days rain, a few drips had made themselves evident, but then, it was essentially a 20 car garage, so a little water was no real concern... in here Craig had his Mitsubishi and he was carefully changing the oil in old jeans and a greasy white t-shirt.*
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 9:40:46 PM)
*There was a garage door, it was massive, an accordian door that used to open up into what was long ago a horse stall, now it was simple the garage door, albeit reinforced within so as not to lose the rustic exterior...*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 9:42:38 PM)
*The first thing Craig would have seen of Kaydence when she walked in was her blink slightly rinestoned flips flops and her French pedicured toes. After a second of standing there she bent down popping her head underneath the car where he was to look at him, a smile like always on her face* What cha doooooooing!? *She knew what he was doing but it was really the best thing she could come up with to say at the time. She was dressed in a denim skirt and a red Hello Kitty tshirt that said something along the lines of “Give me an A cus I’m smart. Give me and A+ cus I am cute.”
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 9:44:04 PM)
*he smiled up at her* Wellll... right now I'm changing my oil and looking up your skirt. The first is a necessity, the second is just plain old awesome. *He started to slide out from under there, and picked up a rag to wipe his hands on* But it can wait. *He leaned over to kiss her, careful not to get her dirty in the process, and gave her a peck* How was your day?
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 9:48:18 PM)
*She tried to sound startled when he mentioned being able to look up her skirt gasping in a dramatic fashion, even taking a step back from the car. Of course she quickly regained her spot when he offered a kiss that she gladly accepted. *My day was ok . Go ahead and finish up. You all hot with your rugged manliness. Besides I want to pick your brain about somethings. I am curious about something. What are Asian women like? I mean do they like being told what to do and being you know…roughed up?
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 9:50:24 PM)
*he waved at the car* I'm done under there actually, just have to put new oil in it now and that's easy. Come on. *He walked toward the house* There's food waiting. Asian women are like any women. Some of them are passive, some are assertive. Some like taking orders, some tell you to get bent. One thing that's definately true, Asian women are either very traditional or very very liberated, there isn't any middle ground, and the vast majority of them are traidtional. Why? What makes you ask? And no... I have yet to meet any that LIKE being roughed up.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 9:56:59 PM)
K!*When it was clear that he was done for now she stuck to him like a magnet, giving him most likely his fifth or sixth big hug of the day. It hardly seemed to matter that she had just ruined her Hello Kitty shirt. It was surely worth the price she paid as explained by the big smile on her face* Well I was just curious because You know every relationship is different and I didn’t want to cause a fuss if something was you know. Just someone’s thing that they did. I am not very intoned to other people but it didn’t look like she was enjoying it. But hey maybe it was part of their ‘play’.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 9:58:43 PM)
*inside he headed for the kitchen. Yep. Guy had taste, like so much of what he did, everything was quality. The counters were real granite, the cabinets real maple. On the counter next to a range top there was a covered dish, several skewers of meat and mushrooms inside. The room it self was painted in honey colored brown paint with a plaster finish giving it an old look without being shabby. He went to the sink and started to wash up...* What exactly did you DO little lover? did you break up a fight or something?
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:06:43 PM)
Well it was not really a fight, no it was more one sided and I didn’t really brake it up either. Apparently I am not very intimidating. *She said with a laugh at that thought, she use to could intimidate others a little better with just her attitude* You are making me soft I must be looking my hard exterior. Anyway I was in the park listening to my Ipod and I hear someone yelling. It was Dean yelling at his Asian Asian girlfriend. She looked terrified and really scared. I told him to chill the fuck out. She fell on her knees and he drug her up I tried to get between them but I could not brake them apart. Then she started to shift physically into a younger girl. He yelled some more…I bitch some more she wiggled and tried to get away some more. She changed back. He apologized hugged and kissed her? It was kinda strange. I just know you would never do something like that to me.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:08:44 PM)
*The interiour of the house was laid out as a series of very large, open rooms with high roofs, except the bedrooms. The end of the house opposite the garage had two floors, with 9 foot ceilings, upstairs were four bedrooms, downstairs was kay's personal study, and Craig's. In addition, Craig had a gym here, a large high ceilinged room with mats and lots of space for his practice. There was only a common room beyond those, a wide open room with a couch and entertainment center, as well as an old well-worn pool table and a pinball machine that Craig had found somewhere that didn't need quarters. Craig listened to all this, slowly walking, bringing her with him as he went upstairs and changed out of his old faded, dirty jeans and t-shirt into a clean pair of khaki's and a black skin-tight t-shirt.* kay. I would never ever scream at you unless it was like, life and death, get out of the way... or something like that. And I would never do anything to make you CRY willingly.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:17:40 PM)
*She followed him up the stairs, her eyes watching him as he undressed and redressed. It was not until he had done so that she realized she needed to change shirts as well. Looking down at the oil stained shirt for a second before it was up and over her head joining the pile of cloths he had accumulated.* Yeah I know you never would. That’s why it alarmed me. You would never put your hands on me like that either. She didn’t look like she liked it that much. It pissed me off to put it lightly. I am thinking about talking to her later. She should not have to put up with that. But I don’t want to fuck with someone’s relationship either if that works for them. What do you think I should do? *She asked him, walking into her closet to pick another shirt to put on*
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:19:54 PM)
*he paused and loooooked over at Kaydence.* Kaydence Phillips... you just demonstrated a shocking depth of empathy for the girls plight, and downright noble consideration for someone who you feel is weaker than yourself... *He smiled widely, grabbed her gently around the waist, and kissed her quite soundly.... then stepped back, and still smiling said* I think you should do what you THINK is the right thing to do.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:26:07 PM)
*Their bedroom was large and lavishly appointed for Craig, with a full suite of furniture including a canopy bed and a huge walk in closet, the master bath was every bit as cool as theirs back in Seattle as well, with a jetted tub with a flume and a great big shower with multiple heads, and everything was in dark, rich colors.*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:26:35 PM)
*She squealed and fought with him playfully as he pulled her back into his arms. She was certainly happy about it thought eagerly kissing him back with a happy little sigh at the end. She had not really considered all that until he said something. But the thought made her take a step back and look at the situation differently. Before knowing Craig and making all her friends she very well might have just never paid attention and just moved on. * Craig! Look what you have done to me. You are making me all…weird with your feelings and niceness. Next thing you know I won’t be kicking puppies anymore. I am not sure I am ok with this. And I don’t know what I should do. That is why I asked you. I did ask her though if she would help me with bento boxes. I wanted to get her alone…maybe talk to her about it. Cus if she is not ok with this then I might have to go ape shit on someone’s ass. She is a cute girl and cute girls look out for each other. Or something…What the hell am I talking about.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:29:11 PM)
*he laughed* Okay Kaydence. *He sat on the bed and patted it in front of her, crossing his legs* have a seat. See, here's the thing... you are there. Doesn't matter if you're okay with it or not. You're on the road to really being a *good* person, chaos or not. So... what should you do? Here's the answer... you can not make her choices for her. Maybe she chooses to tolerate him, maybe she does not, but she DOES have to make the choice to get out of a bad situation. So what you do is you offer to help her if she *needs* help, or if she *wants* help... if she doesn't want out, if she doesn't want your help... you can only offer it, and then be ready to help her if she takes you up on that.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:29:36 PM)
And if she takes you up on it, you do what you can. You can't save the world, and you can not save people form themselves. But you can be a friend to someone who needs one.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:35:40 PM)
*She sat down on the bed, rather than on his lap this time, after all the conversation was rather serious and she would only get distracted had she chosen the other option. It must have seemed odd that she really had to be told this and had to think about it as well. Either way she still had come a long way from the hateful, cynical, antisocial little brat that she use to be not so long ago. Slowly she took in a breath and nodded* I don’t really want to save the whole world. I in no way have a bleeding heart. I just don’t think guys should treat the people they say they love like that. But then again I judge all men by impossible Craig standards. I’ll talk to her about it though. If she says everything is ok I will just let it slide then. I mean for all I know it was some sort of foreplay game and later he went home and fucked her brains out. I just didn’t get that feeling though.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:40:51 PM)
That's possible... the bottom line, little lover, is that you should let her know that if she's in a bad relationship and she wants - or needs - help to get out, you are willing to help her. Leave it at that. *he smiled* You want to come eat some dinner with me, your abusive, violent, hateful, manhandling boyfriend?
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:41:09 PM)
And, by the way, my standards are not impossible. I live by them. *he rose and offered her his hand*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:46:11 PM)
Yeah well you are the closest thing to perfect in my eyes. No one could ever take your place so I would consider that impossible. *She took his hand popping up from the bed, with a smile* I know though you are –so- abusive, hateful and violent. I am so innocent, peaceful and virginal. How in the world do you ever suppose we live together with our causing the destruction of the universe?
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:47:07 PM)
*he shrugged* I think our relationship is one of the seven signs of the apocalypse. Come on. Oh! Guess what I have in the fridge?
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:47:18 PM)
I bought home a chocolate cheesecake!
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:50:11 PM)
Your right it probably is. The world should tremble. *She stopped half way down the stairs, like a train that came to a screeching halt she stood there, speaking in a post dramatic fashion, snapping her fingers in a most urban way.* Hold the mother fucking phone. Did you just say chocolate cheese cake?
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:51:30 PM)
*he turned back around, blocking the stair way, snapped his fingers* Oh no I din't. I said CHOCOLATE mo-fuh'in Cheese cake yo.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:51:58 PM)
*he turned on his heels, and *leapt* the ten feet down to the bottom of the stairs, then headed off for the kitchen....*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:55:10 PM)
Gurl! Don’t you be talking like that. *Her jaw dropped as he leapt down the stairs. Damn it she had planned on getting head of him and racing down the stairs first. The best she could do now was work her legs off to get down and at least come in second place* No fair! You used your ninja skills. You know one day I am going to blow you mind and just do like…damn black flip head stand twirl summersault shit flip move, and I don’t even know what the hell that is”
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:55:53 PM)
*he laughed as he opened the fridge. Oh yeah... nice big thick chocolate cheesecake....* you want some? I'm a eat first.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:56:42 PM)
*He sat it on the counter and served up two slices, even though he was starting with his dinner...*
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 10:59:04 PM)
*And thus did craig sit down at the long counter, on a stool, with a plate in front of him eating chicken shish kabobs and a salad and driking a bottle of water.*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 10:59:33 PM)
*His dinner in classic Kaydence fashion would become her dinner as well. She never asked, it was just something she always did and never really considered that he would mind. He was probably to kind to say anything even if he did care. She drug a stool up close to him sitting beside him, all up in his personal space, taking her fork to stab at one of the mushrooms and claim it for herself*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:01:05 PM)
Yeah I'll start on that cheesecake in a bit. God...life is pretty good. *She said with a laugh* I am so happy I got out of that house when I did. I mean it was a pretty bad train reck at the time but...I guess it was all for the best and shit.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:02:18 PM)
House meaning your father's place? Hon, you're smart, you would have survived. I'm just glad that me coming along helped make you comfortable. Oh... I got... a bit of bad news today.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:03:21 PM)
*He handed her another mushroom* my father passed away early this week. he was in a hospice in Laredo, Texas with his aunt Eunice.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:03:24 PM)
*He didn't really have to say it she had an idea of what it was already. Hanging her head then nodding once* "Your Father?"
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:03:50 PM)
I thought so. I had been thinking about him a lot lately. I really sorry to hear that.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:04:26 PM)
*he nodded* yeah. Yeah. *he looked at her, and then in a move that was very uncharacteristic of Craig... he leaned over and hugged her - not his usual affectionate hugs, I mean, it WAS affectionate, but for just a moment that veneer slipped and she saw that he needed it...*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:09:11 PM)
*She wrapped her arms around him tightly lightly patting and rubbing his back in a way of trying to comfort him. She was not really sure what to do in this sort of situation, but she just did what she felt in her heart was needed. She truly felt bad for him. She of course being a daddy’s girl would be a total wreck if it had been her father.* “I am here for you now and always, I love you” *She said to him softly placing a light kiss on his cheek* You don’t have to be all tough if you don’t want to. No one is here but me, and I love you regardless. I know this can't feel good
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:12:46 PM)
*He sighed and leaned up, rubbed away whatever tears might have been threatening.* It's not about being tough. it's about... the father he never was. The missed opportunities. Some day I do eventually want to be a father... *he looked at her* But I really don't know how. I can just... do my best. But it makes me sad that he had to die to realize all that he'd screwed up, and never got to really fix it. *he sighed again* Thank you Kaydence. Thank you. *he turned back to his plate, took a bite, and within a few heartbeats that mask of calm had returned... but damn if she hadn't just seen slam through it, Craig, without the window dressing, the real man, a little vulnerable, a little afraid, and a little alone with only himself propping him up... and his little lover his only bastion of peace and comfort.*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:21:31 PM)
Don’t worry, about any of that. You will be an excellent father, because you are so thoughtful and so kind. I have no worries about that at all. *She got up from her stool moving behind him she wrapped her arms around his midsection and laid her head on his back. Somehow she knew he could not be over it just like that. She could hardly believe that he even let her see him like that. It was funny how both of them had demeanors they kept up in front of the other. He always had stone cold calm and she the tough girl who never let other people get to her. Though both had cracked the other, in ways that no one else ever had* “My rock, my calm, peaceful Craig. I love every side of you. Even the ones you hide from me”
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:26:54 PM)
*he smiled, then slowly turned around and held her* I hide my weaknesses from the world... they scare me, they bother me, when I'm weak I'm vulnerable... and when the time comes to fight, I can't afford that. *he rest his head on her shoulder for a moment... true the calm was back, but she knew enough to know that these still waters ran very deep* I can't allow myself to show fear or weakness or insecurity... if I am to be successful, to be a warrior... if I'm going to protect you... I can't allow any of that to the surface. *he leaned back and held her at arms length* You know, you may be chaos, a 19 year old girl, but you certainly touched me a lot deeper than anyone else ever has Kaydence Phillips.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:26:59 PM)
A LOT deeper.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:34:59 PM)
(I heard something! *Pulls off his shirt, he's SUPERMAN and he flies off.....)
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:35:10 PM)
(( LOL Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh ))
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:35:54 PM)
*With his head resting on her shoulder she smiled down at him, perhaps being more calm and peaceful then she had ever been. Of course she was always more at peace when they were alone together. Gently her fingertips ran through his hair, a color that she had grown to love more than any other hair color. * I know you hide this things. You don’t have to tell me. I no longer even care. I use to. But I understand why you feel you need to do it. I am not going to try and change that because you don’t try to force me to change either. *She was hardly even finished when he suddenly held her at arms length. The movement and action startled her a little bit. She didn’t like it, it made a shocked look flash across her face like she thought something bad was about to happen. With his words she just stood there for a second looking a little stunned* “That is good yes?”
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:38:56 PM)
*He smiled, gave a soft exhaled laugh* yeah. Yeah it's a good thing. Best thing ever happened to me in the form of an 18 year old unexpected blessing... and you really were the best thing that ever happened to me, because damn if I wasn't... in a bad way when you found me.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:41:06 PM)
*Craig pulled her in close and held her for several moments, listening to her, watching her... apprasing her, and how much she'd *grown* in the short time he'd known her. was he pleased? Very. Very much...*
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:44:36 PM)
I think we were both pretty damn unhappy at the time. I just didn’t know it. But I am happy now. You, you I would have never thought you were having a rough patch. *She smiled and hugged him with tight grip. She never really smiled before all of this and now it seemed it happened all the time. What had he done to her* See. I am normal. You are the good patient person helping me out to learn things and but you? Really? You are the only person in the world that wants a dramatic, all over the place mess like myself in their life. The others think so too. You know our friends. They wonder how you do it.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:46:54 PM)
But they don't know about us do they *She said with wide mischievous grin, like she had the world's best kept secret and none of the others would ever be the wiser to it*
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:46:57 PM)
*he smiled* Because I don't make it any harder than it needs to be. If you really love someone, you don't *need* to change them. We make a hell of a team, we really are like the rock and the river, where you end I begin, and where I end you begin. We couldn't fit more together perfectly if we tried. I don't change you, you don't change me... we just get along, perfectly comfortably. And you play off my dry wit so perfectly. I love you. For how chaotic you are... and for how different you are with me behind closed doors... all of it.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:47:10 PM)
And no. No they definately don't know about us.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 29, 2010 11:52:37 PM)
*There was a soft little giggle that slipped from her lips at the thought of pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. She had not really thought of it like that. It never occurred to her that she as all that different when she was alone with him. She did not try to be at least it just happened that way. It was so easy just like he said everything fell into place* “I have to agree with you there. But I am curious though…did you ever think for one second to just be like ‘fuck it. I can’t take this girl’ cus honestly I was trying really hard to get that reaction.
Craig Killian (Aug 29, 2010 11:55:12 PM)
*craig turned back to his plate and resumed picking at his meal* No. You remember when I showed you the cyborg? Or the russians I killed in the Philippeans? Or the Wu Lung Mage I cut the guts out of with his own sword? I don't LIKE to kill people Kaydence, but I've been in that position before, where it's kill or be killed... so, you were cute, you were at times difficult in public, but you never tried to gut me or blow me away with a chain gun or stab me in a hotel room over a sex slave. So, compared to that. *he looked over at her, ate a bite, thought...* you're cute, your not a cold killer.
