DISCLAIMER: I don't own RFR.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys, I'm sorry it took so long for me to post this. I got myself into a funky, foul mood this weekend and I really wasn't up to writing much of anything. If you want full details on what's up with me check out my site, I can always use some support. The link is on my profile, and I love making new xanga friends.
Anyways, before we get to the story, I do have one response to a few comments I received. I am fully aware of the fact that they don't swear on RFR, but this is my story, NOT RFR. It's rated PG13 because when I was 13 I not only knew what the f-word meant, but I unfortunately was an avid user of the word. A habit which, thankfully, I have broken. But moving on, that is probably going to be one of the only times I'll use that word in my story, so don't get your panties in a bunch. Now on with the show!
*~*~*~*
Travis closed his eyes, pulling the scenes from the back of his mind. A familiar shiver traveled up his spine again as he relived the night for Robbie.
*~*~*~*
In one split second of fatal attraction it was almost hard to tell who kissed who.
Travis melted into the kiss, letting his sweat mingle with hers. The faint smell of roses lingered on her neck and he savored the subtle flavor of strawberries in her mouth. The heat of the steamy underground room combined with pure passion let loose as Lily's hand carefully unbuttoned the rest if Travis' shirt. The white tank top beneath it was nearly soaked with sweat and Travis tugged it over his head himself. He kissed her neck and pulled off her tank top, intoxicated by her beauty, completely caught up in the moment.
Time began to blur as heat and passion mixed together, the two found themselves nearly naked on the floor. Not sure what to expect, Travis opened his eyes to find Lily's still clenched tight. He ran a finger down her torso gently and felt her breathe in, startled. Her eyes snapped open and for a brief moment, her sparkling green eyes connected with his soulful brown ones. They weren't sure if they knew what was going on, but they knew they wanted it.
*~*~*~*
Robbie's face was indescribable as Travis finished his story, he looked utterly disappointed in him. Travis let his eyes wander to the floor and he waited for Robbie to be the first to say something.
"Did you even think about Ray?" Robbie's tone was a cross between angry and pure disbelief.
"Yeah… I did, afterwards. That's why Lily's so upset…" Travis' voice trailed off and his expression turned bleak as he reflected on Lily's tears. He'd never made a girl cry before.
"I wondered that, what did you do to her?" Robbie's tone was warming up again, although his loyalties were to Ray, Robbie and Travis had always been close. Travis got the feeling that his story had brought everything into perspective for Robbie- it wasn't as if Travis had done it to spite Ray, it was something he couldn't control.
"I left… right after it happened." Travis' voice was strained but he kept talking. "I had a sudden flash of reality and everything just sort of hit me at once… and I remembered Ray. It's just, I had never really felt accepted by him and when he called in Friday night and said all that stuff… and then I went and did this." Travis shook his head and dropped his eyes again to stare aimlessly at the ground once more.
Robbie sighed and looked sadly at Travis, "Well, yea, this would be one way to make Ray …un…accept you. And it doesn't look like you're doing too well with Lily right now, either."
Travis groaned and glared more determinedly at the ground, "Don't remind me."
The two sat in silence once more until Robbie broke the quiet for the second time.
"Hey, Travis…"
Travis broke his staring contest with the ground and lifted his head, "Yeah?"
"Do you love her?"
Travis's eyes widened at Robbie's question, the thought hadn't even occurred to him. He closed his eyes for a moment and pictured Lily.
"I think I do, Robbie."
*~*~*~*
A/N: Alright guys, I'm sorry if the spacing on this is absolutely ridiculous, but Microsoft Word and ff.net seemed to have picked today to turn against me, so there's not much I could do since I really needed to get this chapter up. Anyways, drop me a line, tell me what you thought! (P.S. my apologies to those of you who expected more out of the flashback. I was trying to maintain the PG13 rating on this fic, so I censored myself a little. But for those of you who DO need a little lemon in your life, I might post an R-rated alternative to this flashback, so let me know if you're interested.)
