Eggs. [Sima]

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked curiously as Lilith flipped through the pages in her sketch book. He noticed the male, Kail, and how Lilith described his world. It made him a little jealous that she had not wanted to draw his world, but to be fair he had no told her how it looked in detailed. Nevertheless he became jealous quite easily, but something like this was rather little in comparison to other things. He gazed at Aria's picture, noting that he knew the woman, but not feeling that it was worthy to speak up about. She then moved on to the photos of himself. Sima was slightly stunned? Had she been drawing him without telling him? Sima felt happy about this however, it meant that she truly was thinking about him, more then just when the two were together. Sima turned to look at her, and the look in his eyes were more than warming. "Lilith, have you been drawing me from before, not just now?" It was a hypothetical question, she had to have been. 

Sima felt loved, something that honestly was hard to get through to him. He was stubborn, and felt that no one could love what exactly he was, despite feeling so close to her, there was always a small voice in the back of his head that told him it was not true, that  the woman he loved did not feel all the same way he did. This artwork was the proof, and that little voice in the back of his head could be silent. "I don't know how to explain how happy it makes me that you did do that, or why it makes me happy."

Liliths hands were shaky, nervous from showing him all she had. Her book was hers alone, and she'd never before shared it with anyone. True, some of the pictures held no real meaning or value, but to her, it was about her putting her heart into her art. By showing him what she had, she'd literally opened her heart to him like a book. Her hands gripped tightly at her pants, waiting for his reaction, and when he spoke she froze.

Yeah, I have... I'm sorry! I know it's weird... She couldn't face him, not yet. She kept her eyes averted and her hair in the way of him seeing her face. Even when he spoke after, though it lifted her heart back to her chest, she still felt like she had crossed a line. He said it made him happy, but he could just be being nice to her- after all she didn't have a great talent in this art form either way, so she thought.

It's okay you know. You can tell me it's weird, or annoying. I understand. She had it in her head that she was crazy, that drawing him was crossing an unspoken line, and she had no idea why.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her as she insisted that it was weird. He placed his hand on hers, pulling her towards him. "I like it because it's how I know you love me," Sima said rather bluntly. "I was always hated, in my word, there was never a way to tell if someone truly cared, or was simply getting close to hurt you.. So I always worry about simple things, but with this I know it's the truth!" Sima tried to plead to her, feeling as if he had upset her in some way. Sima groaned slightly feeling as if he had embarrassed himself. "It's not odd, I like it, I don't mind if you have 1000 drawings of me, because I know that they are something that can easily fill the empty space of these walls, I mean, pictures are good for reminding us of memories, and if anything I think you should hang some on the walls.., that way we can look back at those times!" Sima tried to make sense of his own words, but was quite flustered to realize what he was even saying. 

"It's beautiful Lilith,"

[Deleted]

Lilith felt herself being pulled towards him, and fell into his chest easily. She wrapped her arms around him, though it was an awkward position now, not entirely comfortable. She promised not to cry... she promised not to cry. She was telling herself that, but for some reason she felt like she had to. She knew he would feel it, her face was on his bare chest, but there were so many emotions swelling inside of her, she couldn't contain them anymore.

She was always alone, being teased, shunned, forgotten. Never before was she loved, and here was this man, loving her. She'd opened her heart to him, and he loved her. She scared him to death and he loved her. She was crazy, yet he loved her. She was happy he liked her work, it meant so much to her, but not for the same reasons it was for him. He loved it because she was thinking of him- which was entirely true. She loved that he loved it, because it meant she could trust him, with everything. Her past, her worries, and her future. She already knew that, yes, but now it was real.

She didn't cry, not really, only a few tears escaped her, but she quickly stopped. She was happy, so very happy, to have this man in her life, with her, now. She snuggled her face into his chest and held him tightly, not wanting to move. He smelt good- as she often noticed- and though it was hurting her torso, she was comfortable like this.

Thank you Sima. I really do love you... She spoke into his chest, the words coming out squished and jumbled.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima listened to her, as she squished against his chest. She did love him, didn't she. The only question that remained now is what were they going to do with the remainder of the day? "Lilith, what are we going to do now?" Sima spoke in a soft tone, unsure himself. This house was tiny, even lacked that of a fireplace. Sima didn't like cold mornings, scratch that, he rather enjoyed them because it meant he and Lilith would more then likely stay in bed, keeping each other warm. Of course when the moment came that they actually had to leave the bed it was pretty bad. Sima looked down at Lilith, she was so pressed into his chest he didn't want to disturb her. "I had to choose what to do first, so I think you have to choose what to do next." Their really was only a few things that seemed possible in this house.



"So, is their anything you'd like to do?" Sima closed his eyes briefly listening to the attractive way her breathing felt against his chest. It was soothing, attractive, and he knew he couldn't get enough of it. Why did Lilith come into his life? These questions were un-answered for him. He only knew that she was here, and he was glad for it. Sima knew she was pacing herself in this relationship, and sure it was a difficult for him, but to Lilith this was something new and different. He had to understand her feelings, or at least try to. Sima was still coming to grips that physically dealing with stress wasn't the best way to handle it. He was still a person that made mistakes, had urges, and feelings. When Lilith spoke of loving him, Sima knew that she was the only one that would.



Not saying he thought he didn't have the confidence to find another partner, but that he did not think he would find the 'true' partner that he felt Lilith was too be. He knew he thought of things way before their time. Sima could only feel Lilith against him, and enjoy her company for the time being.

[Deleted]

Lilith remained where she was for a few moments longer, enjoying the feeling. She supposed now was a good a time as any to tell him her plan. It wasn't the big reveal she'd hoped for, but she simply couldn't contain it anymore. With a huff, she removed herself from his grasp and stood up, putting away her drawing stuff. After a few minutes she stood in front of him, hands on her hips with a stern look on her face. One half of her face was slightly red from being pushed into his chest and looked rather comical.

Okay. This doesn't fully have to do with what we should do today exactly, but.... ughhhh! I've been wanting to tell you something! She knew in her head that this was probably way to soon to do what she wanted, but she highly doubted she could contain it much longer. Lilith sat next to him and took both of his hands into hers.

You spoke to me once, about your dream. About having your own restaurant once you find the right place... I want to help. Thats where she left it, wanting to know his response to that before telling him what she actually intended to do. There was a glimmer of mischief in her eyes and her grin.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima was a little confused when she spoke about his dream. He looked into her eyes, realizing that she did want to help. However, Sima thought that she wanted to help in other ways. Sima thought that she wanted to help, by offering to be a staff. Sima never thought someone would help at all, so if anyone was a staff member would certainly be useful. "Yeah, if you want to help, I have no problems with it" Sima was still completely oblivious to exactly how she wanted to help, but regardless it didn't matter, he would enjoy her company even if he couldn't get the restaurant. 

Sima scratched back of his head nervously. "You did not have to wait to tell me this, " Sima chuckled. Of course Sima didn't realize exactly how much she would be helping. 

[Deleted]

Lilith grinned, catching on that he had no idea how she planned on helping, but she ran with it, leaning in to hug him.

I'm glad you would agree so easily! For a while I was worried, because normally you seem like you wouldn't accept how I plan on helping. She sighed, pulling away, her tone turning serious. Remember, you've already said yes, so you can't go back on your word. Got it? After a moment, she looked him in the eyes, and began speaking even more seriously.

I've been looking around, but it depends on where you want the place to be, but the over all price seems to be the same... I want to pay for it. The actually building. By doing that, you can save all the money you already have, to put towards it, staff, food, or anything else you would want... Please let me do this Sima. She looked at him now, with pleading eyes, waiting for him to tell her no.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her, shocked that she was offering to help pay for this restaurant. What did she gain from doing this? He wasn't sure, but if she was as stubborn as to say he had to stick with it, then there would have to be a condition for this. "Lilith, if you are going to pay for the restaurant, there is only way I will allow it.." Sima felt bad to even consider letting her help in such a big way. "You have to co-sign on the restaurant, I won't take no on an answer. This will no longer be my dream, put you will share half of it." Sima spoke as seriously as she had been before him. "And then, I want to be apart of your dreams." Sima thought it would be a proper compromise, that way he could feel somewhat that he was doing something to pay her back now, but he would pay her back full, that was a promise in his head. 

"So if you agree to my terms, then I will agree to yours." 

[Deleted]

Lilith was hesitant, but slowly agreed, knowing she had no other options. But her dreams? What were they? She'd lost sight of them years ago. Perhaps Sima would help her find a new one.

I think that sounds wonderful. So, I will give you the money, and you can go and find the place you want it, and when the time comes, I will sign whatever you like- as long as you get that restaurant. She smiled and kissed his nose, falling back into the couch with a sigh. Now that that was out of her system, what were they to do? There was always the obvious.... she glanced at the bed, and away again, knowing if she pushed him much further, her boundaries would be pushed at her own faults. Would that be a bad thing? Not really, but this relationship was moving quite fast as it was. Lilith let out a huff of air, blowing hair out of her face.

Can I convince you to pick again?

[Sima Oratio]

Sima looked at her curiously. "Making me pick again?" He groaned lightly. "Does it have to be inside the house?" Sure, Sima didn't want to get dressed as much as Lilith, but there was only so much they could do in such a confined space. Sima however, quickly thought of something to do. It ran in his quickly, and just as quickly made him nervous. He couldn't ask that?! Sima looked at Lilith, the thought of bathing with her played through his head, and it was easy to tell he was thinking of something by the shade that his face turned. He however, told himself he was not going to suggest it. Sima played with hands nervously, trying to come up with some other activity, that didn't involve the two naked. Of course, when he started telling himself not to think about, he couldn't think about anything else. 

Sima sighed aggravatingly, falling back into the couch. He shook his hair furiously, stopping after a few seconds. "Let's dance!" He huffed, not entirely sure what to recommend. Sure there was no music, but that wasn't going to stop them from enjoying a slow dance together would it? It was something they could do without removing what little clothes they had. However, Sima was no beginning to realize just how cold it was without clothing. He shivered slightly, how did he stand it so long before? He was probably tied up in what had happened in his dream. "Perhaps I should get some clothes though.." 

[Deleted]

Lilith watched him curiously, seeing the transition as something ran through his head, turning his skin pink. A small smile escaped her, wondering what he was thinking, but not wanting to push her luck. She had a feeling she was on thin ice in that department. When Sima jumped up, demanding they dance, Lilith laughed aloud.

Dance? You want to dance? To what music? She stood slowly, walking up to him, placing one of her hands on his chest and the other on his shoulder. She wouldn't mind dancing with him, not with the way he looked, standing there, half naked. Soon her face heated up just as his did. What was this man doing to her mind, goodness! Lilith shook her head and looked up to him when he spoke again.

If you'd like, it's up to you. She ran her hand lightly down his arm, noting the goosebumps, from him being cold no doubt.

[Sima Oratio]

SIma looked at Lilith as she hopped up with him. "I suppose I'll keep them off for now," Sima was hoping that the dance would warm him, if at least a little. "We don't music.. looking into your eyes is soothing enough for me.." Sima put his hands around her waist, obviously ready to engage in a slow dance. "If you want you can hum a tune again, I thought it sounded quite good." Sima smiled playfully to her, knowing he should limit himself, at least for a little. Feeling her waist alone was soothing enough, he knew he'd be able to keep things slow as long as Lilith didn't push. Of course, how could Lilith know when she was 'pushing the right buttons' Sima after all was her 'first anything' right? Sima knew, he had fell for her, and know it seemed he was falling in a different way. A way that Lilith seemingly had no clue of, until he brought her along for the ride anyways. 

Sima sighed lowly under his breath, almost un-audible. Perhaps he had less control then he realized, wasn't dancing supposed to keep him from doing things like this? Sima slowly brought Lilith closer and gently kissed her, forgetting about the dancing part that he was supposed to start. 

[Deleted]

Lilith smiled, biting her lip for half a second -subconciously of course- when he spoke the first time. She was looking up at him fondly, raising an eye brow when he spoke of her humming a tune. Again? When had she done it the first time? She felt his hands at her waist and decided not question him later. She gave a small smile, and began to hum softly, not really knowing a tune to follow, just flowing with the feel of his heartbeat against her finger tips. It was soft and sweet, simple and smooth. She was having slight trouble concentrating, her mind constantly reminding her of the feel of Sima's hands at her waist. She wasn't used to being so aware of every movement, every sound and breath. When had she become to attuned to him?

She looked up in time to see him leaning towards her, and cut off her humming as he kissed her. This was different, it was softer than some of the others, held a different emotion. One she'd never before experienced. They hadn't begun to dance, but she didn't care, and she raised both of her hands so they were behind his neck, holding him there. This was better than dancing in Liliths' mind.

[Sima Oratio]

Sima kept her close enough. Sima would have often been thinking how he was going to pull this off, however now their was no thinking. Their was only action, Sima didn't have to choose, or even think. It was a reaction to what has been happening, what he wants to happen. Sima loved Lilith, was this not logical to want? He did feel guilty, as if this was bad for him to try. He couldn't help it however. He knew that it was soon, but he couldn't help but want to try anyways. Sima pulled away, looking directly into her eyes. Sima couldn't help but be so determined, so confident in what he was proposing. Sima reached for one of her hands, holding it gently. He wasn't quite sure if verbally acknowledging what he wanted would do any good, so he found that perhaps asking to move to a different location would be more suitable. Sima took her hands and gently placed them on his chest, secretly enjoying it when she did that herself. He tugged her towards him, but moved ever so slightly. It was as if he was leading someone by touch alone. When Sima did in fact make it to the bedroom, he did not stop leading her, but when he sat down he attempted to pull her in a way, to get her to sit near him.
