First lounge topic c: ? Yus. xDD

It was about 7:27 P.M. and people where just getting out of dinner. It rained lightly outside the window, and was still faintly light, seeing as it was the middle of the summer. Sitting on that giant awesome couch, was Aislinn, sporting a gray sweatshirt with the letters BA printed over her heart. Ya know, for Beata Academy? :D
Her blue jeans shorts seemed to slid up under her over sized sweat shirt, but she didn't mind. In her hands was the latest book she was reading. Something about Witches and Wizards by James Patters- /shot. There was plenty of room on the couch for other ppls, but no one else sat. No one really knew Aislinn like that, but she didn't mind. She was a little to engulfed in a good read.

Walking into the room with a book of his own in his hand, he glanced around the room, seeing a few faces but none of them really familiar; though he did notice on the particularly amazing couch was a familiar red head. Stephen said nothing and walked passed her casually, glancing at the book cover -- Haha. James Patterson. cx -- and taking a seat on the opposite end of the furnature. "Aislinn." He said in a light tone, a sort of greeting, before getting comfortable and beginning his own read. He was still in his class uniform, a little soaked from walking a short time out in the rain, but other than that nothing was too unusual about him.

Aislinn jumped a bit at the sound of Stephen's voice. But she settled down again, fixing her golden eyes on him as he started to read.
"Hey." She said lightly, looking back down to her book, but couldn't seem to get back into the words. The story seemed a bit less interesting now that she'd been drawn away from the words. A sigh escaped her lips, as she pretended to read.

He was already into the first few pages by the time she had greeted him back; out of curiosity, he glanced back up at her, noticing her focus on the book had wavered and threatened to disappear. "Am I distracting you?" Stephen frowned, knowing the two of them hadn't had the most peaceful relationship up to this point. Him sitting there might have made her uncomfortable. "I can go read somewhere else if you'd like..."

Folding the top of her page down, marking her place, the red-head shut her book and looked over at Stephen, crossing her legs on the couch. "No not at all. I just can't seem to get into my book." She said softly, her eyes flickering.

"But you hadn't noticed a thing until I called your name." He pointed out, amusement shining faintly in his blue eyes, his attention slowly drawing more and more away from his read. Stephen looked at her curiously, "I haven't seen you in a while." He mused, feeling strangely talkative today.

Aislinn narrowed her eyes in a joking sort of way. "Yes but now that you're here you seem to have my attention." She smiled smally, tucking her hair behind her head. "Kudos." Was the best reply she could think of, if she wanted to keep the conversation light and friendly.

Stephen said nothing for a few moments, folding the corner of the page to use as a makeshift bookmark and closing it firmly. He tried to think of something pleasant and witty to say, but could hardly think of anything that didn't come out as awkward. After all, this was the young woman who had given him a lap dance and had gotten... pretty concerned after misunderstanding his power. He got up and scooted a little closer to her, so they wouldn't have to talk as loud, "You seem to be pleasantly disappointed." He said, "How have you been?"

Aislinn tilted her head to the side, her hair falling over onto his leg. "No, just pleasantly surprised that your remembered that I existed, much less decided to come and conversate with me." She smiled, licking her chapped lips, and tucking her book between her thighs. I dunno, its a habit, I do it all the time to hold stuff cx. "I've been well. Haven't been to any truth or dare parties lately." She laughed, flicking her golden gaze up at him.

"Conversate? I wasn't aware that was a word." He said a little cheekily, going on and leaving the random subject behind. "No, I remembered. How could I forget?" Stephen couldn't help but smile a little, teasing the fiery red-head. He said nothing for a few moments after that, looking down at his hand. The ring was missing. "I'm glad. I think it's an understatement to say those things easily get out of hand."

Aislinn laughed softly, in sort of a sighing way. "I never said anything about you being forgetful, I just..." She blushed fiercely, following his gaze to a rather naked finger. "U- uh yeah... They ca- can. I guess." All of her earlier cockiness was gone, as her eyes focused on his finger. Her face went pale.

Stephen looked a little satisfied at her blush, "... Thought I'd wanna forget about you?" He finished for her, a simple guess. Pfft. She guessed. The boy turned quiet again as she glanced down at her hand, his smile disappearing.

"No, um. I ju-, I think I need to leave, I might have some studying to do" She said standing, without a second thought, he book falling to the floor. AJ grabbed it, her eyes still on Stephen's bare finger. Where da hell was his purity ring? Had he lost it or his virgi- /shot. Aislinn didn't have time to decide which one was true.

His cold eyes flickered uncertainly at Aislinn, wondering why she was rushing to leave all of a sudden; though the idea came on fairly quickly. Stephen frowned wanting to say 'wait!', but only thinking the small word instead as he reached forward and grabbed her wrist, looking up at her questioningly.

Aislinn laughed nervously, his hand wrapping around her wrist. His finger that was ringless, was wrapped around her wrist. "You uh, know me. Always studying and what not." She laughed again, scratching the back of her head. Don't say it. don't say it, DON'T SAY IT! "You're welcome to uh, come study with me.. Ya know, if you want to." Aislinn looked anywhere but his hand, still wrapped firmly around her wrist. This was gonna be a really long night. cx

Stephen stayed quiet still, dipping his down and staring at the ground, if only to hide the smile that was coming unto his face, and he near started laughing as she went on, but manage to keep himself some-what calm. He looked back up at her, loosening his grip. "Lead the way?" He suggested lightly; for reasons that might have been more or less different than what he thought she intended.

Sighing, Aislinn pulled her wrist lightly from his grip, and slung her light pink backpack over her shoulders. He shorts had yet to make an appearance, they were still smug, hiding beneath her large sweat shirt. "It's this way." AJ said, trying hard not to groan and Stephen followed at her side down the hallway. She really hadn't meant to invite him over. For all obvious purposes, she was going to make sure that he stayed away from her, possibly on her room mates bed, while the two studied. No lie, they had a test coming up in history, and Aislinn needed the good grade. C's did NOT fly with her.

He followed her the entire way, not saying a word, and really trying to avoid looking at her as he stepped at her side. Stephen wanted to catch her alone, but not for the reasons I'm sure all you certain xD people are thinking of. He simply wanted to talk, explain some things, and not in front of a crowd; like the people who were in the lounge. He couldn't care less for what grades he had, but a studying session would work for him.
"Which is yours?" He asked as they came in sight of all the dorms. Hopefully, none of her roommates would be there.

Aislinn palms were sweating just a bit, as she reached her the door to her dorm. She really hoped that at least one of her room mates. The thought of being alone with ring-less Stephen threatened her. But as she opened the door, she realized how alone they were. There wasn't a room mate to be found. She smiled, covering up the horror on her face. "That one over there." AJ said softly, pointing to a bed beside the window. It was complete with a pink stuffed cat that had tiger stripes and a silky gray comforter. Light gray was one of Aislinn's favorite colors.

He paused in the doorway from behind Aislinn, glancing around the room, confirming that they were alone. "Perfect." Stephen muttered from behind her quietly, closing the door behind them. He brushed past the red-head and walked up to her bed, looking at the stuffed cat with a little amusement, though he didn't let it show; instead turning and looking at her. Great, with a man of so little words, where would he start?

Aislinn pressed her back against the closed door, hooking her backpack in a little cubby hole, then standing infront of it, collecting her history book. "So we have a history test tomorrow, and I think I could use some help on the dates durning the Civil Wa-..." She trailed off, her golden eyes soaking up his intense frosty gaze. Was he looking at her like that? Her eyes searched around her quickly. Nothing interesting seemed to be going on. "Did you um, need something? AJ asked, rubbing her arm in a bit of an uncomfortable way.

He paid no mind to her talk on the history test, instead just gazing thoughtfully. So, perhaps he should start with the ring? Clearly she had noticed it and it seemed to be throwing her off a little bit, sending the wrong message; It was pretty shitty of him, but he liked seeing her so uncertain. It was such a sharp contrast to the girl that he first met. Still not wanting to speak up too loud, he wanted her to come closer. Stephen lifted up a hand and brought his fingers forward; in a motion that was meant to tell her to 'come here'.

This was it. He was gonna rape her. He'd tasted what it was like, and now he was going to try to get Aislinn too. But she wasn't going down without a fight. She walked over to him slowly.... Sitting on the other end of the bed, looking at him lightly, just as she would a book, trying to read into his emotions. But that was just the problem, he showed no emotion. Which was pretty shitty when you were trying to read into someone. The only thing AJ could get from his face was that he was smug. Smug little bastard.

Stephen kept his gaze on her as she walked by silently, turning his body as she saw down on the bed. He decided to do the same, picking up her plushed cat and seeing it away. A smirk appeared on his face as he lifted his hand, "This is making you nervous, isn't it?" He asked, looking for her reaction.

Looking a little upset as he threw her cat on the floor, Aislinn picked up the beloved stuffed animal and sighed, touching his finger lightly, then putting her hand on her stuffed animal. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't." Her eyes gave away her nerves, that threatened to make her bolt from the bed, and fly out the door before someone could even blink.
