Run
El Beso Del Final - Christina Aguilera There they were, sitting by the poolside, feet dangling into the cool water as they listened to some music, talking and catching up on what it was like when they were younger. Laughing about the times they shared together, and the many boys that have come and gone. The mansion wasn't even open yet. Only to professors and teachers. And, she was sure Adyson wasn't going to mind if they sat outside near the pool and just relaxed. " I'm really glad you came with me, Aya." She smiled softly, hugging her best friend to her side. " I know this isn't really your dream. I know you want to see everything the world has to offer." She said softly, kicking her legs in the water as the song continued smoothly. Tilting her head, she looked over at Ayanna with a smirk. Sunglasses hiding her eyes from the world. " You miss home? I know I do. I can't say I miss my parents all that much. I just miss LA. New York is great. But... nothing compares to good ole California." She laughed. Kicking her feet, she splashed Ayanna and laughed as she threatened to throw her in. " If you do." She paused, grinning at her. " I'm taking you in with me." She laughed, watching as both of her cats came walking by. " Aww, Flicka. Every time I see you I just want to cuddle you." She said, picking the fluffy white cat up and holding her close as Chloe sat down between her and Ayanna. |

Jack was rather surprised this morning when he realized how much energy he had. He was pumped today, and it felt wonderful. He started out the day with his usual; grabbing a quick bowl of 'Cap'n Crunch', a glass of Orange Juice, and a brownie and then heading out the door for a jog. With his music in his ears, it didn't take much to put a smile on his face. It was an beautiful day to be alive...and outside. He passed by Rogue's house, guessing his friend was probably not even thinking of coming outside today. Jack made a note to check back when he was finished with his jog.
He had been jogging for about ten minutes or so when he began to near Casa Bela. Oh it was great they lived so near by. Then they could easily walk and Jack wouldn't have to hear Rogue fuss about having to use his expensive little 2009 black corvette. Why buy a car if you couldn't use it? Jack shook the thought away as Counting Crows began to blare in his ears, and he hummed along as he jogged.
Immediately, he slowed as he noticed the small Porsche in the front of Casa Bela. He could never remember who's that was. Too bad Rogue wasn't here to tell him, eh? He slowed and then jogged over to the small gate by the side. He could hear voices; female voices....his favorite voices. Noticing it was unlock, he opened it and slipped around to the back. Jack carefully turned his music down a bit and then strolled beside the pool where the two were sitting. "Mornin' lassies!" He greeted with one of his casual smiles.

Ayanna rolled her eyes, laughing softly. "Yea, well someone had to come along with you on this adventure. Who else besides me?" She grinned, nudging Emily a little as she laughed. Her nose wrinkled as she shook her head. "I miss the beaches of Cali. But that's about it. I mean, I have you so." She grinned.
Water splashed up and hit her jean shorts and her mouth opened wide. "Do it again, and I swear Ill throw you in." She laughed, shoving her a bit to show she was very serious about this. Ayanna just rolled her eyes as Emily told her she'd take her with her into the pool. "Mhm, says you." She smirked.
"Aww, Flicka. Every time I see you I just want to cuddle you."
Ayanna shook her head, smiling as Chloe came and sat next to her. "What's the matter, Chloe? Not getting enough attention cause Flicka is just 'too cute'?" She grinned over at Emily, teasing her as she pet Chloe gently, hearing her purr.
"Mornin' lassies!"
Ayanna's head lifted, turning a bit to look at who had entered. She smiled when she realized it was one of the teachers. "Morning." She grinned. Tilting her head a bit, she could just make out the 'Just do it' on his shorts. A chuckle fell from her lips, as she perked a brow. "Just do it." She giggled. "Words to live by, huh?"

It wasn't his intent to go outside today, that was true enough. But the moment Rogue opened the window to see the sun shining and hear the birds softly chirping in the distance, he had a sudden craving for a walk in the park. Well, at least just a pleasant walk in general. Sighing, he got into the shower, comb his hair, brushed his teeth, and everything else before getting dressed and grabbing his favorite Sherlock Holmes novel.
All he grabbed was a piece of toast on his way out the door. Park days were Rogue's favorite days. There was nothing like sitting on a bench all day in the park, buried in a good book. As he walked along the sidewalk, he was already reading away to his mind's content until a white vehicle caught his eye. Oh dear....it was Emily Fairchild's beautiful Porsche Speeder. Of course, the car didn't come anywhere close to how beautiful she was.
Rogue looked both ways and then walked up to the door. Strange, it was unlocked. He walked across the hard floor until he reached the back. Bloody hell, will Jack ever control himself? He thought, shaking his head at the sight with a chuckle. He slid the glass door open and walked out to greet them all. "I do hope you're not bothering the ladies, Jack." He said as he neared the three. He smiled politely to the women. "Good morning, Miss Emily..and Miss...Ayanna...if I remember correctly."

"What's the matter, Chloe? Not getting enough attention cause Flicka is just 'too cute'?"
Emily tilted her head, giving her friend a look that clearly read 'give me a break'. Smiling a moment later, she gave Flicka a kiss and put her down. "Mornin' lassies!" Emily turned, looking back at Jack with a smile. "Morning, Jack."
"Just do it." She giggled. "Words to live by, huh?"
Emily shook her head, laughing softly. Only Ayanna... She thought to herself with a smirk. "You're more than welcome to join us." She offered with a smile, before grabbing the book beside her and opening it the the spot she had left off. It was one of her favorites; To Kill a Mockingbird.
"I do hope you're not bothering the ladies, Jack."
Hearing that voice, she knew exactly who it was. Smiling, she lifted her head from the book and cocked her head to the side as she smiled. "Good morning, Miss Emily..and Miss...Ayanna...if I remember correctly." She chuckled softly, nodding. "Good morning, Rogue." She said softly, placing her thumb in the book where she had left off as it closed.
Tilting her head slightly, she could just make out the title of the book in his hand. "Sherlock Holmes." She grinned. "One of my all time favorites." She smiled over at him. "Currently re-reading 'To kill a mocking bird'."

"Words to live by, huh?"
Jack chuckled and then nodded, "Definitely words to live by." He replied with a smile. Ah, the girl was amusing, he'd give her that. It disappointed himself that he could remember neither of their names though. He noticed how much with them sitting there how much they did look like sisters.
"Don't mind if I do." He said and went to sit down. He was about to say something when he heard Rogue come up behind him.
"I do hope you're not bothering the ladies, Jack."
"Hey hey hey, Rogue. I just barely got here. It's nice to see ye got out of yer cave, though Rogue." Jack protested with a half grin. He let out a deep breath. It was nice to take this short break from jogging. He finally did sit down, on the other side of Ayanna, knowing Rogue would probably end up sitting by Emily. He knew Rogue's types too well, unfortunately and Emily...she was definitely one of Rogue's types.
He smirked a bit and then turned to Ayanna. He looked her up and down before raising his brow and asking with a grin, "Sooo...do ye two do the matching outfit thing often or was it simply a spontaneous coincidence?"

"Definitely words to live by."
Ayanna smirked, shaking her head. She had to hand it to him, he was amusing. Cute, in that manly kind of way, and amusing. "Don't mind if I do." She grinned as he began walking over and taking a seat beside her. Not a moment later and Rogue was walking in asking if Jack was bothering them.
She listened as Jack joked around with a moment, as she turned and looked at Emily as she started to carry a conversation with Rogue. Ayanna simply shook her head, Emily and her 'intellectual type' of men. Though, she had to hand it to the woman, she knew how to pick 'em.
"Sooo...do ye two do the matching outfit thing often or was it simply a spontaneous coincidence?"
Ayanna looked down at what she was wearing and then looked to Emily and started laughing. "Funny story." She started off, turning to Jack. "We live in the same apartment and this morning when we got up and got dressed and walked out of the room and looked at each other we kind of had a twins moment." She laughed. "I remember both of us saying 'I'm not changing'."

"Hey hey hey, Rogue. I just barely got here. It's nice to see ye got out of yer cave, though Rogue."
Of course. Who else would say that then Jack? Jack was always making 'There is life outside your apartment' jokes with Rogue. After a while, Jack got a bit irritating; especially when he would actually sing that song. But he wasn't one to complain so he let him have his fun. Come to think of it, there actually was a pigeon squashed on the street on the way over her. Rogue looked down for a moment as his thoughts bubbled in his skull but then his ears caught the voice of Emily as she made a comment upon the book..
"Sherlock Holmes." She grinned. "One of my all time favorites." She smiled over at him. "Currently re-reading 'To kill a mocking bird'."
Just the fact that she had noticed, caused him to go shy. It took him a moment to get his bearings once again to answer. "O-Oh. Yes...I-I..I never leave home with out Holmes." He replied jokingly with bashful chuckle. He raised a brow and then sat down beside her. "To kill a mocking bird, huh? That's certainly a brilliant one there. I don't believe I've read it in ages. S-So..do you..um...read a lot then?"
Rogue mentally cursed himself for stammering again. Why couldn't he speak around this woman? He swallowed and then without thinking, let himself speak once more. "Oh! And I've been meaning to tell you, your car....ahem...your Porsche is..well...it's a brilliantly beautiful piece of machinery." He had been waiting to compliment her on that car for a while, and he was sure he'd probably end up complimenting upon it again.

"Sooo...do ye two do the matching outfit thing often or was it simply a spontaneous coincidence?"
"I remember both of us saying 'I'm not changing'."
Emily nodded excessively, smiling bright. "So true." She laughed softly. As she turned back to Rogue, his head was down, and she could tell he was thinking about something. She found herself then, wishing she had telepathy.
"To kill a mocking bird, huh? That's certainly a brilliant one there. I don't believe I've read it in ages. S-So..do you..um...read a lot then?"
She smiled as he came over and sat beside her at the poolside. "oh?" She smiled lightly. "Well, when I'm done with it, you're more than welcome to borrow it." She told him with a tender voice. Nodding, she laughed softly. "Alot more than usual. Or so says Anna." She smirked.
"Oh! And I've been meaning to tell you, your car....ahem...your Porsche is..well...it's a brilliantly beautiful piece of machinery."
"Yeah?" Her eyes lit up at the mention of her baby. "Thank you. Hey, whenever you want to take a spin in her, lemme know." She grinned. "And you haven't seen anything yet." She giggled, leaning in a bit. "I got two more brilliantly beautiful pieces of machinery in a garage."
