roof | evening | august 17 | monday

After getting his one class completed, Alex found his way onto the roof to smoke. It was a warm night but it was clear and that meant he could stay up here for awhile and not worry about dying of heat or getting rained on. With a free day tomorrow, getting the relaxation started early just seemed like the thing to do.

He stuck a cigarette in his mouth and lit it, letting it hang from his lips for a few moments before blowing out a cloud of smoke. He wasn't stressed by any means of the imagination but after being a girl and spending most of his weekend being lazy, it was nice to be himself and outside.

And see, he was even being nice, getting out of the room in case Griff wanted it. He was all heart.

[the roof is open!]

See, Alex could do this even with the cigarette in his other hand. He was that talented. Also, when he realized who Jean was, he'd so be wondering if he'd gotten further than his buddy, Tybalt.

"This is the roof," he said, sweeping his arm back and forth to illustrate that. "It's the thing that covers the dorms so we don't get rained on and stuff. Handy, right?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Well, he hadn't copped a feel yet...

"Very handy that," Jean replied seriously.

"I feel the same way," he said, wandering over the the roof's edge. "And this is the edge of the roof. Prevents people from falling over. It's good to sit on too. Ever gotten up there, sat down and kicked your feet?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Here?" Jean shook her head, but going along with it anyway. "Isn't that dangerous?"

Yes, Jean. That was the point.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Exhilarating," Alex said, using his big words to try and encourage her. "I'll keep a hold of your hand. Won't let you fall."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean couldn't help a small smirk at that. "If you promise," She said, moving to sit on the ledge.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I promise," he said, keeping a hold of her hand while she got settled. "I never let pretty girls go anywhere bad."

Sleaze.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, he was so sweet!

Jean was special.

"A gentleman, then?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

It took all of his restraint not to laugh. If she only knew.

"It's a compliment I hear all the time," he said, climbing up to sit beside her. "Good view, right? A lot nicer than just standing back there."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

He was just so damn lucky she wasn't like Emma.

"I could get used to it," She said, glancing at him in a way she assumed was coy.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

He'd just have to try and not think about this the next time he saw Emma. She was kind of intimidating.

"One of the reasons I come up here," he lied like a lying thing that lies. He came up here to smoke. "It's peaceful, good to clear the mind. And meet new people."

If she was glancing at him, he was going to make sure and catch her eye and grin as charmingly as he could. He had the mojo going full force tonight.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Oh, Emma was not. She was just a bitch different.

"Meet anyone nice lately?" Jean tired so hard at flirting. So damn hard.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

That telepathy thing was kind of hard to match!

"I think so," he said sweetly, smiling over at her. "What about you?"

Poor Jean really was flypaper to creepers.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Maybe." Jean kicked her feet, trying for coy again.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex was so going to Hell. Straight to Hell, do not pas go, do not collect two hundred dollars.

"Only maybe?" he asked, trying for a pout now. He could work those expressions when he wanted to. Something learned from dear old Dad.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm still seeing if that's the case," Jean replied. She was a master at hard-to-get.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I could give you a demonstration," he offered, leaning closer to her and upping that sweetness level and keeping most of the smarm out of it. "Show you that you should think it's the case."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"What kind of demonstration would that be?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, the words he could have used. The words he wanted to use.

"A private one," he said, still trying for adorable. "Wouldn't want to demonstrate in front of everyone on the roof. They might get jealous."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean was only slightly dubious there. "Really? Is it that nice?"

She was thinking a kiss, people. A kiss!

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"More than nice," he said, scooting closer because, hey, he was being chivalrous. Preventing her from falling off the roof and all.

What a load.

"Unforgettable."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

You had to get closer for a kiss! Jean was okay with this. It was her own doom.

"I'm waiting."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex raised an eyebrow, a little amused at that show of impatience. But, he could take a hint and if she wasn't going to do something dumb like backing away, he was going to lean in closer and try for that kiss.

He'd go for more in just a bit. He had some restraint.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Well, Jean was just going to have to lean in for a perfect, sweet, gentle kiss that every couple needed to look back on fondly and god she needed to stop reading 17 magazine.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Okay, he could do gentle, he could do sweet, he wondered if she just needed some damn motivation or what. Sweet and gentle didn't mean he couldn't linger or let one of his hands slide across her stomach.

Stay low for now, move up in just a moment.
