Ah, We Meet Again

[Ryver S. Murray]

Yesterday was incredible. After a week of cold-turkey Calixte it was a huge relief that they patched things up. And what a make-up that was! Hopefully no one noticed the slight swagger in his step, or his non-stop smile as he walked through the halls. Who could blame him though? It was... Well, it probably wasn't the best way to go about it but it sure felt nice at the time. Ryver would sometimes frown in hesitation, but again the smile would find him.

Hell, even the sky was grinning today with sunshine and blue skies!

With this being the case he was lounging on the front lawn within distanced of the front gates to Hogwarts. Ryver was so satisfied right now, add that on top of the warm sunshine he was in heavan.

((Sorry for the crap-tastic post, Ellen... I just need to go curl up and get some sleep. Love!))

[Calixte Diantha]

Calixte was, to put it lightly, a mess. The previous day (and night, really...) had been spent doing a wide variety of things she never thought she'd do, especially with Ryver Murray of all people. It had been great, that much was absolutely certain, but it had exhausted her completely by the end of it all. She'd been walked back to her House entrance- though she'd been using Ryver as a means of support to keep from falling over by that point- then went straight up to her dorm, got cleaned up, and crawled into bed...Where she stayed way too long and woke up way too late.

By the time Cali had woken up, it was already well into late morning. 11:23 a.m., to be exact, and this sent her into a state of panic that had her throwing the covers off of herself and leaping up out of bed so that she could hurry and get ready. She'd rushed through getting herself freshened up for the morning, and sped through getting dressed. So by the time she'd gotten outside and onto the grounds (headed for Herbology, naturally) she looked as rushed as she felt. Her shirt was- thankfully- on, but frumpled and untucked from her skirt (which was in it's rightful place, as it was fairly difficult to mess up in putting a skirt on,) her tie had obviously just been pulled on over her head in her rush, as it was neither straight nor tight about her collar, her socks were just pulled on instead of folded down, and her shoes, well...they were both on her feet, but one of them was still untied, and her robe was just casually thrown over her arm as she made haste towards the green houses.

"So late!" she yelled at herself, though this only helped to make her stumble over the shoelaces again. A frustrated sound was made in the back of her throat and she stopped short, leaned over, and set about getting her shoe tied. Honestly, at this rate, she might as well just skip out on Herbology all together!


((S'ok, Coley-face! I understand the need to sleep! xD <3 ))

[Ryver S. Murray]

((*Blinks at the screen* Okay, I try… Nao!))

He was there again in his mind; the hallway where he dared to touch her and kiss her and… Merlin, it was just too delicious. Her skin, her lips, her everything was just too perfect and he was privy to it! Ryver smiled and rocked himself into the sitting position. They would have to try all of that again, along with dates, and kissing! Ryver had wanted it all, and now found himself wretchedly cocky that he managed to get it. Especially since it was from someone as stubborn and gorgeous as Cali.

Ryver brought his bulk to his feet, stretching out to the sunshine to get the kinks out of his back. Laying around like a satisfied cat was tough work, you know! Blue eyes closed, unable to resist the feeling of complete satisfaction he was feeling… Until Cali’s voice carried out to him, and they only tripled in intensity.

“Cali~!” Ryver grinned and opened his eyes. She wasn’t too far from him, and he couldn’t resist jogging up to her. However, as he got closer he noticed a few things that made him chuckle. “You look a bit frazzled this morning!” It was true, normally Cali had everything together. It made him puff up a little with pride that he’d managed to make her lose her senses.

[Calixte Diantha]

She heard him before she saw him, though that was only natural due to the fact that she had been leaned over to tie her shoe with her back in the direction his voice carried from. A curious sound was made in the back of the redhead's throat and she shifted herself so that she could see behind her and still tie her shoe. Almost as soon as she actually laid eyes on him, a smile lifted the corners of her mouth and she straightened up, shoe forgotten for now. "Why aren't you in class?" she scolded, laying her hands to her hips.

The amused expression didn't last long. Cali blinked once, then twice at his comment about her appearance before her eyes fell to herself. A tinge of pink colored her cheeks and a soft frown replaced her smile. "Yes, well...I over slept my beauty sleep and am horribly late for Herbology." she lifted a brow at him and laid her hands against her hip crests, balancing her weight more on one leg then the other. "And what about you, hm? I already asked why you weren't in class, but you seem more smug this morning then ever. Should I worry and walk away now, or wait to be worried about your smugness later?"

[Ryver S. Murray]

As he approached, he took a moment to eye up her pretty little rump before his view changed to the full figured beauty that he was so fond of. He smiled broadly, always loving the way she used her hips like they did the talking for her (and they really did, for him. Hubba hubba!) and the way she stood, as though scolding him. Ryver laughed when the first thing out of her mouth wasn’t a greeting, but rather an interrogative question.

“There’s no excuse, other than the fact that there’s a rare bit of sunshine out here. I don’t want to be stuck inside where it’s all gloomy! I mean…” Ryver struck a pose and winked. “I wouldn’t want to lose this handsome coloring that you like so much~!” His eyes were grinning at her as he finished approaching, and he DARED to give her a little kiss in greeting! “It’s quite obvious you over beauty slept, because you’re just so gorgeous and radiant today.”

He was so smooth, but he was being honest. Even all frazzled she was still so damn pretty.

Large hands raised to her collar to smooth it out for her before moving to her tie. Skilled fingers began straightening it and flaring it out the way she seemed to prefer, and he dared another sneak kiss on her forehead. “I’m smug, because… Well, you’re frazzled this morning.” The hands traveled down to smooth her shirt down about her frame before resting gently on her hips.

“Isn’t that enough?”

[Calixte Diantha]

She should have expected that sort of response. Of course he would be smug because she was a right mess this morning. He wouldn't be Ryver if it didn't please him to know how disshelved he'd made her with what went on the previous night. But she couldn't help it! By the time she'd gotten back to her dorm, she'd barely had the energy to get cleaned up. Then by the time her head hit the pillow, she was as good as gone to the world and didn't wake up until far too late to have the time to get properly prepared for the day. The reply to her beauty sleep earned a roll of the eyes, but the redhead couldn't hide the smile that went with it either.

"Honestly.." she sighed, though didn't have time for any other comments as he'd taken the time to steal a kiss or two. Still a bit unsure seeming about whether it was alright to kiss her or not. After last night, was she going to have to spell it out for him? The kiss to her forehead didn't remain there. Cali quite easily tipped her head back and caught Ryver's lips in a brief and fleeting kiss, then she returned her attention to her current state of attire to make sure everything was alright and in place now. "So, sunshine, hm? Not going to class then?" she didn't need an answer to that, but it didn't hurt to ask. "I suppose that means I'll see you later then, yes?" she looked up here and arched a brow, a fair amount of mischief gleaming in her eyes. The idea of skipping class wasn't one she was usually up for, but Ryver was right. It was far too rare a day to spend cooped up inside a classroom, be it outdoors or not.

[Ryver S. Murray]

He loved being pleasantly surprised, and that’s what that tip of the head did; it surprised him. It was an invitation for the tender little kisses of affection that he wanted to share, and it made him sneak another one before she got to speaking. “Mhm. I just want to lay around in the suuun shine for a little while.” Thick, strong arms wrapped around her in a snuggling hug that rocked them both in the embrace. “You don’t have to see me later~” Ryver coaxed. “You can stay out here and lay with me. It’s early and you’re obviously exhausted…”

He smirked.

“We can take a nap.” With his expression teasingly devilish, he pressed their foreheads together. “C’mon, you know you want to. I’ll even tie your shoe for you…?” Blue eyes glittering, Ryver grinned at Cali, still trying to seduce her into spending an hour lazing around the lawn with him.

[Calixte Diantha]

"Are you suggesting, Ryver Murray, that I skip class?" she asked him this with an expression of mock shock bordering close to horror. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly agape, but it was all for show. The idea of spending an afternoon sprawled out on the grass, curled up against Ryver was extremely appealing. The thought alone brought a content purr to life in her throat and her eyes half lidded. "Sounds good." she finally stated, allowing herself to be enveloped in the snuggling embrace. "Though, I'm not so sure about this nap idea. I already slept quite enough as it is if you recall..." Thus why she was not already in class...

[Ryver S. Murray]

“Yes, that is exactly what I’m suggesting. You should skip class and spend it with me.” Ryver grinned broadly at her in a puppy-dog way. Not that he felt she would draw away; she was snared, now! That meant he won and there wasn’t any more coaxing to be done. Besides, he always got his way even if no one realized it. When she confirmed his suspicions, he tugged her back against them so they could fall to the soft ground with him on the bottom.

“Groovy!” Ryver grinned down at his girlfriend, who was currently sprawled out on his chest.

“We don’t have to nap. We can just chill and let you catch up with being awake. Or… We can make out.” Ryver grinned crookedly and ducked down to snag another soft little kiss. “Mm, you taste good.”

[Calixte Diantha]

A soft sort of oomf sound came from Cali when she was tugged forward, then more or less dropped onto Ryver. She blinked at him several times, trying to reorient herself before an easy smile touched her lips. She did have to shift a bit in order to make this situation more comfortable, but she honestly didn't figure he'd mind all that much. "What in the world am I going to do with you, Murray?" she sighed in a playfully dramatic sort of way after his statement and being kissed. "Honestly, spend the day being lazy, or making out with you. Are those my only options?" Really if they were, Cali wouldn't mind all that much. After all, he thought she tasted good as is, and the other option meant being lazy and not having to do much of anything all day. Two very much so appealing alternatives to class work.

[Ryver S. Murray]

“I’m sorry, love, but I’m not nearly as creative as you. Needs and desires are the only things that seem to come to mind. See, I desire to be lazy all day and I absolutely need to make out with you. Does that make sense?” Ryver grinned impishly and ran his hand over delicious, candy-apple red ringlets. They bounced back under his palm into perfect little cork-screws of beautiful hair, showing off their curl in the morning sunlight and reflecting back all the warm colors that he loved about it. Willing to bet that Cali didn’t mind, he toyed with each curl by gently pulling on it and letting it go, and also wrapping the gripping strands around his boyish fingers.

Girl hair was kind of fun. Not that he’d ever have any, but a girlfriend certainly made playing with it possible!

“And it’s not the whole day. I mean, just long enough to enjoy the sunshine for a while. An hour or so, that’s all.” Ryver grinned down at her, lifting his head up enough to press their noses together. “It would be you who is suggesting we be all laaaazyyy~”

[Calixte Diantha]

Another dramatic sigh left Cali's lips. "Well, if you're so terribly unimaginitive, then I suppose I don't have any other options, do I?" she flashed him a teasing smile, obviously amused with herself now. "Or, maybe I should go to class until you're able to come up with something more imaginitive. Perhaps I should stray away and let you think a while, hm? Surely you can come up with something..." She rose up a bit, just long enough to brush her lips against his chin, then his lips- both gestures fleeting and very brief. She then put her arms on either side of him and acted as if she were going to get up. "Yes, I think that's what I shall do. Leave you to think while I attend class." Really, she could be so ornery sometimes...

[Ryver S. Murray]

“Noooooo!” Ryver whined as she began to get up. He knew she was teasing, but if that’s what she was doing he’d at least act the part. “You can’t goooo~!” One long leg defiantly wrapped around her, holding her in place and trying to keep her down. “Once cuddling has been initiated you can’t just get up and run!” Now he was pouting, pretending that it was a real big effort go bring her back down to him. Once he had a hold of her wrists, it was all too easy.

“If you stay I’ll ask you something that I think you’ll liiiiike~” Maybe a little bait would keep her! She’d obviously be very curious, and would definitely relax and cuddle with him again! His diabolical plan was sure to win… Yes, he was very clever.

“Like, you’ll just like it so much it’ll make you smile or something!”

[Calixte Diantha]

Another oomf sounded as Cali was pulled back down, though it was strictly a playful noise this time. She arched a brow at his baiting her, but couldn't help but bite. "Alright, you win..." she relaxed against him and got comfortable, "What is it you're wanting to ask, hm? It had best be good." Once again her lips brushed against his chin, the movement simply teasing and not meant to satisfy or indulge in any way. She had to shift around a bit again, though raised up a bit so as to not cause any issues with her wiggling between them. After all, getting Ryver excited wouldn't get her any answers, now would it? So it was best to just play along and see what it was he wanted to ask...Damn her curiosity.

[Ryver S. Murray]

The fact that she seemed to relinquish her hold meant victory for him. Had he been standing up, he probably would have done a little dance or some kind of gesture; the thrill of victory, expressed through the art of fist pumping. That would have been him, but alas, he was very comfortable where he was under Cali’s (wonderful) weight. “Aww, thank you!” Once she was back down and comfortable, he showed his appreciation through vigorous cuddling! Arms wrapped around her, squeezing, wobbling from side-to-side, all the good stuff! (Merlin, he loved those little kisses. The fact that she went for the chin made him feel pretty manly, for some strange reason…)

“Well, I hope it’s worth your time.” He cleared his throat to go into a faux serious tone. “As you know, there’s a dance coming up. I think you were expecting this, but I really need some exquisitely gorgeous girl to come and dance with me. Now, she should have this beautiful red hair. The kind that I really, really like. A good example is yours.” Ryver toyed with one of the ringlets again. “The little curls are just so cute I’d like to kiss them.” Gentle pressure applied, the curl bounced back. “And she should have these glittery brown eyes. I’m kind of a sucker for those, you know.”
