Snippet #2568818

Anthony blushed as he learned that it was Aeron's first kiss as well, and he sighed, half relief, half....he didn't know what; love, he supposed. For the rest of the ride his mind was racing of all the things that Aeron did that made him happy, even if he had known her for such a short while. He came to realize that the only thing she did that he didn't like was hide something from him. For now, however, he understood; he was something new that she would have to adjust to, but then, she seemed well enough adjusted by now.

As she leaned over the console and gave him a kiss, he kissed her right back, leaning his face into her hand like a purring kitten. He then took the slip of paper with her number on it and nodded, returning her next kiss before leaving the car and watching her drive off. After she left his sight he stood there, half wanting to follow her, half wanting to sleep. He decided that he should sleep; having not slept since Artemis unceremoniously woke him up at least four hours ago.

He walked up to his door and unlocked it, closing it and locking it behind him. He was greeted by the sight of Andrew passed out on the sofa, and Jack sitting at the dinner table with nothing but a form-fitting tank-top and sweats on. He raised his eyebrows and walked over into the fridge, pulling out a pitcher of filtered water and pouring himself a glass.

"Surprised to see you're awake, AJ." Jack said to him. Anthony looked to the female and smiled, chuckling. "Honestly, we'd thought you forgotten about us." Jack was sarcastic as Anthony put back the pitcher and took a drink.

"To tell you the truth, Jack, I sometimes think you two forget about me more than I sleep." Anthony chuckled as Jack stood up and faced Anthony. He'd known she harbored feelings for him because of his exotic look, but he never let her act upon them; knowing the bond was coming. "If you're thinking of doing something, Jack, stop. I'll explain everything to you in the morning, or...whenever I wake up tomorrow if you're around." He said, finishing the cup of water and washing it before heading to his room and locking his door.

He sighed and took off his clothes, tossing his shirt, jacket, pants, and shoes all into the same pile on a chair on the other side of his room, and pulling a pair of sweats on as well as a loose-fitting tank-top which showed off his toned muscular arms. He yawned and collapsed onto his bed, laying there for quite a while before suddenly: ”I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm so glad I met you. Not to sound clingy or anything.”

Anthony blinked and tensed up for a second before he recognized Aeron's voice and calmed down, smiling softly. "I can hear you loud and clear, and it was an absolute pleasure to meet you as well, Aeron. And don't worry about being clingy; like Artemis said....I'm an over grown kitten, remember?" he laughed softly to himself before turning onto his side and falling asleep.
