Addicted to You.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris smiled as Carson set her down. She nodded and looked in the drawers. She smirked and pulled on some cloths wringing out her wet cloths in the sink before she opened the door finding Carson standing there not sure what to do and she chuckled taking his hand and pulling him down to the basement. She found a dryer and tossed their cloths inside. She turned it on and sat on the top as she looked him over. Iris still had his hand in hers and now she laced her fingers with his. "So that was unplanned but I guess it wasn't really that much of a shock huh?" she asked and chuckled. Iris had liked Carson for a long time and from the way he kissed her it seemed that he felt the same way about her.

---

Kole chuckled. "Well she's not my girlfriend but probably something elegant knowing her." he said though they weren't the best of friends Nicholas had invited Kole over for several home dinners and they had played games together. It was the kind of relationship you had with your best friends significant other. Kole smiled at Ashley watching her head sweep side to side taking int he little gem in the rough. He wondered if she could see the potential that he could when he was in here. Nicholas sighed. "I don't know how to pick something out for something I don't know I even screwed up on." he said which had the women laughing because they could guess what he had done.

Carson grinned at her, glad they she hadn't pulled her hand away. "I've known you a long time, Iris, and a good bit of that time was spent pining after you," he said, shrugging. "Besides, how could you say no to this face?" He pointed to fish face, making puppy dog eyes at her. He was far more happy that she hadn't rejected him when he kissed her in the pool. He bit his lip, thinking about what and if they would tell her brother. He didn't want to jump the gun or anything but Carson did feel that her brother would be more upset if he was the last to know. Then agin, he would probably try to kill Carson for it either way. He sighed, not really wanting to bring it up but knowing they should probably at least brush over the subject, being as he could walk in on them at any time. "What about Luke?" he asked.

---

Thank God for that, Ashley thought. "Elegant..." She said, trying to think of something antique and elegant. She rolled her eyes at Nicolas, she and Lindsay saying in unison, "Jewelry." Any time she had seen her father screw up and not understand why, he had always come home with some type of jewelry. "What's her favorite color? Lindsay asked, as they made their way to a jewelry counter. Lindsay helped Nicholas pick out a necklace, asking question after question about his girl friend and what she liked. Jewelry really wasn't Ashley's strong suit, feeling that it was an unnecessary accessory that just got in the way half of the time. She looked at Kole, a smile on her face. "I'm glad i let Lindsay convince to to go shopping with her today," she said.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris tilted her head to the side. "Pinning over me?" she asked and then looked at his face laughing and she put her free hand on his cheek kissing the other. "It's hard to resist indeed." she said and then let her hand drop as she sat there smiling thinking in silence. How was it going to work out between them. Her brother loved Carson like a brother but she didn't know how truly protective of her he was yet. When Carson posed the question she sighed and shook her head. "What about him Carson? Why should he have a say in my life and our..." she shrugged not sure if it was even quite a relationship yet. When he gave her that look like they should really talk about it she sighed. "Let's just see were this goes for now. There is no point in you loosing a friend over this..." Not yet anyways, she thought. Iris smiled gently at him. "Besides won't if be fun to see Luke try to figure it out?" she asked and smirked. Iris pulled Carson closer and snuggled into his chest. "You don't agree?" she guessed hoping they wouldn't need to talk anymore about it now. This was to new to let it be ruined by Luke.

---

Nicholas mumbled and rubbed his head. "Uhh purple?" he asked. She had never really decided which color she favored over the other. Kole shook his head and chuckled as the girls fiddled down to what looked like some fairly decent jewelry. Kole leaned behind Ashley looking over her shoulder to see what they were looking at. Whens he turned a little talking to him he smiled and nodded. "And I am glad I tagged a long with Nicholas." he said and looked from the case to her. "Honestly I hadn't wanted to wait till Wednesday but I figured you had things to do." he admitted and smiled at her his hand coming up and rubbing her arm as he pulled her closer into his chest and looked back at the glass as he felt Ashley's body fold into him.

Carson rolled his eyesCarson sighed, knowing she was right. "I'd rather not lose either of you as a friend," he said. wrapping his arms around her with a chuckle. "You're right, that would be pretty hilarious." he could just imagine Luke's ever-confused face at any mention of a pool, the party, or anything else they did together. "Do you want to go back upstairs while we wait for the clothes to dry or do you want to stay down here?" he asked, resting his chin on top of her head. He was fine, no matter what her choice, he was just happy to be able to spend time with her in this capacity. A smile played at his lips as he looked down at her. "What are you doing Tuesday?" He felt kind of bad for how their...relationship...had played out so far and thought it would be fun for them to go on an actual date. If she wanted to that was.

---

Ashley chuckled as Nicholas struggled to find a good piece. "I can guarantee that anything I have or might have planned is way less fun that getting to hang out with you," she admit, leaning back into him. It took Lindsay about ten more minutes to help Nicholas pick something out. When he finally did, Ashley looked at it giving a nod of approval. It was a thin silver chain with what she assumed to be amethyst set in a silver pendant. It was pretty and though she hadn't met his girlfriend, Ashley was pretty sure the girl would like it enough to forgive whatever stupid thing he had done. Ashley turned, wrapping her arms around him. "What else did you have planned for the day?" She asked.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris wrinkled her nose as he implied they were friends. Though of course she saw them as that she was looking for a hint that this was more than just friends. "Stay just a little longer." Iris said as she snuggled into him. When he asked what she was doing Tuesday she looked up at him and blushed wondering what he might have in mind. "Umm nothing to important just studying really." she said and smiled looking up at him. "Why?" she asked and smiled gently as him. Iris never really gave herself the truth with how much people liked her and took care of her when she didn't realize it. Iris was unaware of it probably because her brother had taken out most of the good influences in her life leaving only the most determined bad boy to get past Luke.

---

Nicholas smiled at Ashley hearing Nicholas thanking Lindsay over and over again. He looked into her eyes and shrugged. "I didn't really have a plan. I was just going to wing it. Maybe I would go over to Nicholas's and see how his girl liked the gift but now that I've seen you I am half tempted to follow you around like a weirdo." he said and smiled at her as he leaned down some more. "Would that particularly bother you?" he whispered to her and smiled softly.

Carson wrapped his arms around her as she snuggled into his chest, resting his chin on top of her head. "Let's go to dinner," he said, ginning down at her. He was glad that they could consider this an actual date instead of just him and his best friends little sister hanging out. "We can go to Desmond's and it will be just the two of us. No loud party above our head, no worry about your brother freaking out..." He trailed off, raising his eyebrows and hoping she would tell him yes. While he doubted that she would say no he did not want to distract her from her school work or turn her into the girl that always ditched her friends to spend time with her boyfriend. Not that he would jump the gun and call himself that. Not yet, at least. "Unless you would rather go somewhere else?" He said, happy to change where they were going if she agreed to go with him.

---

Ashley rolled her eyes, hearing Lindsay telling Nicholas something along the lines, of, "Stick a cork in it and buy the damn necklace already." She thought bout his question for a moment before shrugging. "That depends; How interactive would you be while stalking me for the day?" She asked, raising her eyebrows, a impish smile touching her lips. "Because if it's just going to be you staring at me behind a newspaper, or I think I would rather join you in stalking Nicholas and his girlfriend." She said with a grin, just imagining how she would react when Nicholas Kole and some girl she doesn't even know shows up with a necklace.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris looked up at him and smiling bitting her lip. "You really want to go out in public with a 17 year old girl?" she asked as she sat back on the dryer. Iris knew she was jail bate with just 3 and a half weeks to her birthday. She would turn 18 four weeks before she graduated high school and she didn't act her age at all but she sure acted older. Iris looked Carson over. "You know if anyone caught us or complained it wouldn't pan out well for you." she said and bit her bottom lip her stomach knotting in nerves. Iris so desperately wanted this to be simple between them but the fact would be that it wouldn't be. She wanted to say yes and not have to worry about the consequences with Carter but he meant to much to her for her to do that. Iris felt sick thinking about how this one fact could change everything between them. He of course would know her age but wether he was thinking about it and taking it into consideration was an entirely different thing. She didn't really want to be hidden until she was appropriate and she didn't want him to walk away from her completely either. Still Iris could only ask so much from Carter because he had always been someone special in her life and in Luke's.

---

Kole chuckled as he looked down at her his eyes glinting with his amusement. "As much fun as I would like to see Laney's reaction to me bring along a date to Nicholas's apology I think we will have to save that for another time." he said and caressed her cheek. "And I am never just a passive observer." he said and looked into her eyes. "I think perhaps a better term for my sticking around would be to tag a long with you and Lindsey." he said smiled and pressed his mouth close to her ear. "I'll keep you entertained as she bores you with her cloth selections." he whispered and then took her earlobe in his teeth nibbling it gently before he looked up as Nicholas finally said he would buy it. "Finally man. She'll adore it. Get it wrapped." he said and Nicholas nodded and looked sadly at his wallet. "Damn this girl must be pretty special Nick." he said and Nicholas shrugged and smiled before heading off to get it wrapped.

Carson chuckled lightly in disbelief, shaking his head. There a what, two three year difference between us?" He asked cupping her cheek. "Besides, who the tell is going to care and who is going to know the age difference? We can go somewhere to eat out of town, if you want." He said, smiling. He would do anything to make her feel more comfortable about going on a date with him. He understood her concerns but he also felt they were unnecessary. It was a date and her mother loved him so it wasn't like a parent would be calling and waning the authorities or whoever dealt with that sort of thing. "Or you can come over to my place. It's private and I am one hell of a cook," he said with a grin before his face softened. "If you want to wait, we can. It won't bother me or hurt my feelings or anything else that I am sure is going through your head. I've waited this long, haven't I? what's a few more weeks?" He said quietly, pressing his lips to her forehead.

---

A shiver spread down Ashley's spine and she bit her lip to keep from gasping at his actions. She was bright red, confirmed at Lindsay's raised eyebrows and suggestive grin. "Did you have any idea about what stores you wanted to go to?" She asked her friend, nodding as the other girl prattled off a list of places she wanted to go. Ashley rolled her eyes, knowing that Lindsay was in for a long day of shopping and would be sure to drag her along. She didn't mind it though, not today, but she knew that was because she would have a very welcome distraction. She turned to Kole, placing a hand on his chest and looking up at him. "You sure you're still up for trailing us? Lindsay can be very...indecisive when it comes to clothing." She warned and raised her eyebrows. She would probably ditch her friend if it meant she could spend the day with Kole, but mostly because she knew that Lindsay would do the same to her in a heartbeat.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris smiled and chuckled. He was right her family loved him and they would understand that she and Carson could keep it platonic until she was age at least. It was after all only a few weeks away as he said and she knew he would never push that on her not that she didn't want to. Iris sighed and shook her head. "Then Desmond's is perfect." she said though she hadn't been there in so long she wasn't quiet sure what kind of a restaurant it was anymore. "So tell me how dolled up should I get?" she asked and smoothed his borrowed shirt down as she looked up at him feeling more relaxed now that she knew were they stood. Iris could tell he wanted more from her but he wasn't in a rush. She liked that Carson was happy just to take this relationship on the natural course despite how long they have known each other and how quickly it could progress if they had wanted to.

---

Kole chuckled and looked over at Lindsay as she rattled off list of cloths place she wanted to go. "As long as we can stop by the food court somewhere in there I'm happy to keep you ladies company." he said and winked at Ashley. He wanted to show her that he was more than just the face paced adrenaline junky that he could do things at a different pace too and woe nearly anyone over if he wanted. Kole chuckled as Nicholas came back over thanking everyone. Kole nodded and gave him a bro hug before walking out with all of them. He smirked and rubbed the back of his neck. "Uhh Nick the lady needs a ride. I can't fit another on my bike." he said and Nicholas shook his head. "Another reason you should get a car." he said and Kole growled. "Never." he said and then they both laughed. Kole pulled Ashely back to him and started to secure her helmet. "You both go ahead I have something I want to show Ashley first." he said and smiled at Lindsey's speculative look. "Don't worry I will return your decision maker before you have finished picking out your first handful of cloths you would like to try on." he said and smiled as she nodded and then got in Nicholas's car. Kole chuckled and secured Ashley's helmet on before his own and he got on his bike helping Ashley. Once she was ready he took off and started to drive through the streets knowing exactly were he was going. Kole drove to a church and parked in front of it and took her hand setting their helmets on his bike. "Quick or we'll miss it." he said looking at the time. Kole rushed into the church and up a stone spiral staircase. He pulled her to the side through a wooden door and stopped under a stain glass roof. He looked up at it the sun shinning over the glass making the room glisten. Kole smiled standing there with his hand in hers and as 3:15 hit the clock the sounds of a choir starting to sing echoed through the room. They sang a beautiful sad song. He closed his eyes as he stood there listening and he gently pulled Ashley into him and rested his head on hers as he listened. This song broke him in the best way and he just wanted to share this moment with her.

Carson grinned, happy that she had agreed to go out with him. He thought about it for a moment before shrugging. You get as dolled up as you want to. I, however, will be wearing a button down shirt and a pair of slacks, unless of course, you would rather I pull out the suit I wore to your parents anniversary party." he said and caught her hands in his. "Thank you, for saying yes." Carson was very happy with the turn their relationship had taken. He had always assumed that she would only ever see him as the best friend and nothing more. He would have been happy with that but he was sure that if they didn't work out as he hoped, he would never be happier than he was at that moment. No matter what, though, he knew they would be still be friends.

---

Ashley groaned, her mouth watering at the mention of food. "I can guarantee we will be taking a food break. There is only so much shopping I can take on an empty stomach," she said and frowned when Nicholas suggested Kole get rid of the bike. She quite enjoyed it and would be pretty upset to see it go. Besides, she couldn't imagine him driving anything else. Lindsay looked at Ashley and Kole as she walked to the other side of Nicholas's car. "If you two don't show up in an hour, I'm going to assume you're having sex and if that is the case then... Well, there isn't really any consequence but I will expect every detail!" She yelled over the roar of the engine and slipped into the vehicle. Ashley rolled her eyes, ignoring her friend, pulling the helmet on her head. She clung to his back. She gave him a weird look when they stopped at a church but followed him inside and up a staircase, no clue what they were doing there. Looking up at the ceiling, she stared in amazement at the beauty of it, enhanced by the gorgeous vocals of the church's choir. Leaning back into him, she closed her eyes, enjoying it and wondering how he had even hound this in the first place. Did he make a habit of exploring any church he came across or was this a chance thing? She turned in his arms, looking up at him, a small smile of her face. "Thank you," she said and chuckled quietly at his questioning look. "This place is obviously special to you. You didn't have to bring me here so, thank you. She leaned up, kissing his cheek.

[still not happy with this reply Dx]

[Lol it's still good]
@ Lunar Eclipse

Iris chuckled and bit her lip remembering that suit because she had dreamed about peeling that off of him piece by piece. Iris shook her head and leaned into him. "No need you just wear what you want." she said already thinking of what she was going to wear. Iris smiled as she kissed his cheek and then laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed contently as she closed her eyes. "After our cloths dry I should go find Luke and make sure he's not getting into to much trouble before I find my friends." she said and looked up at him. "We don't want everyone talking just yet." she said and smirked. She was sure someone had seen her and Carson kiss in the pool and were probably talking about it now. Iris cupped his cheek and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. She sighed again feeling like his lips gave her air that she could get no were else. Iris sat back and bit her lip as her hungry eyes looked at him with desire she was trying so hard not to give into.

---

Kole smiled as he looked down at the end of the song into Ashley's eyes. He kissed her head and caressed her cheek then gently pressed his lips to hers. He gently kissed her but the passion was still there and the desire as well. Kole pulled back gently and ran a hand through her hair. He smiled and nodded. "You're welcome beautiful. Maybe one day I will tell you how I found this place but that is a sad story for another time." he said and took her hand walking back towards the door. Kole smiled as they walked out and to his bike. He handed her helmet to her and watched her secure it. With how often she was going to be on his bike he wanted her to learn. He made sure then put his own helmet on. Kole smiled and got on his bike smiling when he felt her arms around him. Kole took off back towards town slowing down next to a food cart. He wasn't hungry yet after lunch with Nicholas but he thought she might be. "Want some?" he asked as he pulled over and lifted his helmet lid.

Carson nodded, agreeing that they should be a little more careful around such a gossipy group of individuals. While he didn't much care what people had to say, he knew that she had an issue with people making accusations they had relatively no knowledge about. He grinned, "I'm sure Luke has found himself in plenty of trouble in our absence." It was true. Luke had a penchant for finding himself and those around him in unfortunate situations, especially when he was drinking. Luke had gotten the two of them in more than one drunken brawl which had led to Carson breaking at least one of his knuckles more than once. He looked behind Iris, checking the time on the drier before wrapping his arms around her, burying his face in her neck, wishing they had more time to spend alone, but knowing that they needed to go back upstairs and pretend the last bit of their time together had not happened.

---

Ashley followed Kole out, hoping that she would get to hear the story. It took her a minute to get the helmet secures, not as used to doing it as he was but she did manage it. She slipped onto the bike behind him and wrapped her arms around his middle. This was probably one of her favorites parts of riding with him, being able to sit so close with her arms around him without feeling weird about it or thinking he wouldn't want her to. When he pulled over she nodded her head eagerly, giving a muffled, "Yes!" She slid off and pulled the helmet off, handing it over and shaking her hair, trying to prevent a crease and flattening. They stood in like and she took his hand, smiling as she looked over the small menu. When it was their turn to order, she went first, knowing exactly what she wanted. "One dog, everything on it," she said and waited for him to oder before she pulled out some cash and paid for it. Maybe it was just the feminist her but she had always had an issue with the girls that always had the guy pay for their food and stuff. If she had the ability and the opportunity, she would pay. When they got their food, they sat at one of the little picnic benches the city had set out and she took a huge bite, giving a moan of appreciation for the well crafted hot dog in her hands.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris smiled and wrapped her arms around him and hurried her face in the crook of his neck. She closed her eyes and sighed contently. She bit her lip knowing that pretending as if nothing was happening between them was hard it was necessary although watching other girls hit on him was going to be difficult. "So does that mean I won't get to see you until Tuesday?" she asked. Suddenly Iris was feeling like she was in a rush to move into her brothers apartment. She bit her lip thinking about talking to him and her parents about moving out earlier. It would make it easier to see Carson. He could come over anytime at Luke's and if he stayed over once in a while he could sneak in to see her in her room. Iris smiled as she thought about how it might be exciting to keep Carson just her secret for a while. She had a feeling though that Carson wouldn't want to stay a secret to long. She let her lips trail over his skin aimlessly just enjoying feeling his pulse quicken.

---

Kole ordered a churro and smirked as she paid though he had been grabbing into his back pocket to pay. Kole chuckled and smiled as they sat. He looked over at her as she took a bite of her hotdog. He smiled taking a bite of his churro. "Finally I mean someone with an appreciation for the everything dog." he said and smiled at her. He sat back finishing his sweet and then looked up at the sky. "We have another 15 minutes before Lindsey starts to get antsy waiting for us. Though I think we are safe from the accusation of having sex." he said and grinned at Ashley. "She's a character that friend of yours huh?" he asked and smiled as he remembered her friend. It was odd how Ashly hung out with her when they were so different but he could only guess that was what ended up making them such good friends.

Carson sighed, thinking that it would probably be Tuesday until he could see her again. He didn't want to think about that. It was only forty-eight hours though, right? They had done it before but then they had seen one another as nothing more than friends. "Would we be able to see each other before Tuesday?" He asked, not sure what her schedule was for the next couple of days. Hell, he wasn't even sure what her usual schedule was. While he was confident that her parents wouldn't mind them dating, he was sure it would definitely change the way things worked when he was around their house. Maybe he was being over confident is her parent's love for him. Luke was his big concern. He sighed when the drier went off and pulled away from her. "Are you sure you want to go back upstairs?" He asked, not wanting to leave their little bubble just yet.

---

Ashley rolled her eyes. "You are never safe from accusations of sex when it comes to Lindsay." While Ashley knew her friend was joking, she thought it was a bit much in front of new people. Then again, it was Lindsay. "Just on her good day. You should see her during a an episode of Scandal or Gray's Anatomy." Ashley was not one for either show but that did not mean that she had not been forced to sit through an episode or two. "How long have Nicholas and Laney been together?" Ashley thought it was odd that Nicholas had been so lost on finding a gift for his girlfriend but she didn't really know the couple in any capacity so she couldn't really judge. From the way they talked it seemed as if they had been together forever.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris smiled and nodded. "I think we could. At least for a little while if we meet up at the park just down the road. "What do you say Monday night 9:30?" she asked and ran her hands over his shoulders. She giggled when the dryer went off and he asked if she was sure. "I'm not planning on not seeing you again tonight. Besides you can text me anytime and if we get really desperate we could always face time." Iris said and scooted off the dryer and stood infant of him leaning up on her toes kissing him deeply her hand running into his hair. She moaned softly and arched into him before she had to pull back and look down panting slightly. "Mmm. You really are addicting." she said and chuckled then pushed him back gently and bent over pulling out their cloths. She closed the laundry room door and smiled at him. "Turn around. No peeking." she said handing him his cloths. Iris turned and stripped off the borrowed cloths then started to pull on her own cloths. Once she was done she peeked over her shoulder to look at Carson. "All done?" she asked knowingly. Iris smiled as he looked over at her. "So seriously I don't want tonight to be a fluke okay? So call me." she said and hugged him again.

---

Kole chuckled as Ashely talked about Lindsey. He smiled as she asked about Nicholas and Laney. "Oh about 4 months but they dated in high school so it's complicated. It's like they have a habit of starting hot and burning out quickly. Nicholas really wants to make it work this time though. I can tell." he said and smiled. "Laney is a... complicated woman at the best of times. But if shit goes down she has your back." he said and smiled at Ashely. "I think you would like her even if she is a bit on the dramatic side." he said and chuckled. He waited until she was done with her hot dog. "Ready to get your shopping on?" he asked and smiled at her.

Carson nodded, a little upset that they would still be sneaking around, but he was still happy that they would get to spend more time together.He grinned, taking his clothes from and turning around, rolling his eyes. he changed quickly, waiting on her to say that she was dressed before turning back around. He placed a hand on his chest, faking shock. "Do I seem like the kind of guy that wouldn't call back the girl he had spent the majority of a party with?" He asked, knowing that he did and had, on occasion, not called a girl back. "I'm going to call," he reassured her, following up the stairs and giving her one more kiss before opening the door for them, joining the party that was still raging on. It didn't take him long to find Luke, arm around a girl whose name Carson couldn't place. "Dude! Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere!" Luke yelled. Carson was sure that his friend had not actually been looking anywhere but at the flesh that was revealed by the girl's extremely low-cut top.

---

Ashley could deal with dramatic. She was friends with Lindsay, after all. Ashley groaned at the mention of shopping. She stood, threw the paper hot dog holder away and followed him to the bike. After securing her own helmet and wrapping her arms around his waist, they took off, heading for the mall where Lindsay was shopping on her own. When they stopped, she pulled her helmet off, and handed it over, sending a text to Lindsay asking which store she was in. She smiled up at Kole, wrapping her arms around him. Ashley still couldn't believe that she was able to see him so soon after last night. She pulled away, taking his hand and walking through the front entrance, toward the store Lindsay had told her. "Are you sure you are ready for the shopaholic that is Lindsay?" She asked.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Iris chuckled as he asked what kind of guy did she think he was. "Oh I know what kind of man you are Carson and you'll call me even if you called no other girl before me." she said and kissed him back once more before they walked into the party. She found her brother and sighed. "Luke!" she shook her head. "You said you were going to be right back hours ago. I found other ways to entertain my time." she said and looked at the woman under er brothers arms and shook her head. That was not a girl he would ever bring home unless he didn't wrap it up. She took something out of her pocket and stick it into her brothers. "At least be safe." she said into his ear and then kissed his cheek walking off. She glanced at Carson over her shoulder and bit her lip then smiled. Iris turned and went to find her friends. When Iris found her friends they were in a debate about something and she sat down joining them thanking the boy that brought her a drink. She sipped at it and then argued her point.

---

Kole chuckled as they walked into the store. "Oh as long as I am with you I think I can brave the chaos." he said and smirked as he put his arms around her shoulder and moved through the aisles with her until they found Lindsey. "So Lindsey did you find that very special sweater that will end the need for all sweaters yet?" he teased and chuckled as she shot him a look. "What we're early." he said and smiled. Kole enjoyed testing her friend nearly as much as he enjoyed teasing Laney. It was something about the snooty girls that made it so much fun. Kole looked down at Ashley and grinned leaning in and whispering to her. "You know I think she likes that I tagged a long." Kole chuckled and smirked as his fingers trailed over her shoulder.

Carson grinned down at her before following her back into the mass of people he was sure had no idea they disappeared. He had to bite back a laugh when he watched Iris stuff a condom into her brother pocket. He watched Luke and the girl walk off toward the direction of the stairs. It brought his mind back to Iris and he searched for her in the crowd, a smile sneaking onto his face when he did. With a sigh he turned his attention back to the party and headed to the kitchen, knowing he would need a drink to make it through the rest of the night. He grabbed a cup of jungle juice some dude had been serving and chugged it, tossing the cup in the disposal. He managed to find a few of his friends but they were a little busy grinding grinding on some girls. Deciding to hang back, he leaned against a wall, red cup in hand, and started chatting with a couple standing nearby.

---

Ashley chuckled. "Remember you said that an hour from now." She tried to hide the grin on her face when his arm went around her. She had a hard time keeping a smile off her face when they were together. After they found Lindsay, the girl started going off on how "fashion was against her." It was a speech that Ashley had heard a few times before and it would end with Lindsay buying her top three. "She is, but not as happy as me," Ashley whispered back. Lindsay must have really done some looking because it didn't take her long to choose her top sweater picks. Ashley spend the search browsing, helping her friend try on the sweaters, and trying to convince Kole to try on a dress. She wasn't certain, but she was pretty sure she was close to breaking him down.

@ Lunar Eclipse
Abigail walked over to Carter and smiled. Abigail was on of Carter's many ex's but she had believed they had been serious once. Now she was drunk and looking for some entertainment and a hot body. She swayed over to him and put her hands on his chest completely barging in on whatever conversation he had been having. Abigail beamed up at him knowing full well he could see down her shirt. "Carter. My my it has been a while." she said looking him over. "I have missed you. How about we grab a room upstairs and catchup?" she asked her eyes sweeping over his toned body. Abigail believed he had gotten sexier over time like a good brandy. "You know it had been to long since you have handled something quite like me." she teased and growled going to nibble at his jaw.
Iris looked over from where she was sitting having bee completely aware of where Carson was in the room. She felt a ping in her gut seeing a trashy bitch like Abigail hanging all over him. She remembered that story well. Abigail was always moving the relationship to fast but in the end her legs still spread for whomever wanted it. She thought she could get away with it and still keep Carter but had been very angry when he left her. Iris stood and finished her drink saying goodnight to her friends. She didn't know if she would be back but watching this bitch flirt with Carson was a step to far. A new girl yeah sure fine no harm in a ladybug but this girl lining to him was a scorpion. Iris walked up to them and Abigail frowned. "Oh little Iris. Is you're big brother around?" she asked always having had an eye out for her brother too. Iris frowned her nose crinkling in disgust. "Abigail Winslow..." she looked over the girl. "Oh what has it been now like three years?" she asked and Abigail smiled. "Months but glad you learned to count. Iris frowned. "Aww well you see I grew up a lot in three months, I guess you could say I'm fresh but that is much better than something as old as you are honey." she said. Abigail moved towards her. "What are you trying to say little runt?" she asked and Iris smirked. "Well I guess being as old as you are you wouldn't realize when you're old news and need to move on. Take the hint and get gone like your memory has ages ago." she said and Abigail reached out and swung first nails out ready to scratch but Iris stepped back from her watching the drunk girl stumble.

Kole grinned and watched the girls laughing at Ashley's attempt to get him in a dress. "The only way you're getting me in a dress doll is if you agree to move in with me." he said and smirked. He knew it was much to soon for her to move in and that was the point. It was much to soon for him to be wearing a dress, about 200 years to soon. Kole chuckled though happy for the playfulness between them. He was also quite enjoying teasing her body as he slipped through the aisles. A snuck kiss here, a light tough there, then a nibble and some caressing and before he was even trying to hard he had her as turned on as she made him. Kole grinned ad he held her close. "See anything you like?" he asked.
