"I think I should go..." Travis abruptly got up from his spot on the couch. The exact spot where he had just told Lily the dreaded thing that he'd always wanted to say. That one little thing that was going to cause so much trouble now...Yep. That thing.
"Travis! Wait! You can't go out there! Trav--" BANG! The metal door to the famed Radio Free Roscoe had just tight, letting Travis escape his semi-nightmare.
'I thought it would be something special if I told her about how I like her...And she even told me! Dalai Lama smile some rays of hope on me now, because I'm about to lose it...' Travis thought as he now fought himself inside, and outside as it was pouring rain. He really wanted to stay; hell, if it was just to stay inside he'd stay, but not this time. This time was different. This time he'd told Lily that he liked her, and this time there was no escaping it. No escaping destiny...no escaping fate.
"Travis...You're getting soaked!" Lily was just outside now and waiting for Travis to accompany her back inside the station.
"No...I have to get going, you know. Lost track of...lost track of time." Travis gave the short speel and started to walk. Lily ran to grab hold of him.
"Come on...please?" Lily showed him her sweet smile as he turned to face her. How could he forget and resist that smile? The only one he'd fallen in love with? "We could...talk."
"We can talk..." Travis succumbed and followed her back into the station. Talking seemed to be the only way to calm a person down. Talking was the one way that Travis would come out of the rain for Lily. Truth be told, he really did respect Ray, and didn't want to break his fragile heart if he knew about the liking of Lily....But Lily....She was on his mind all the time, it seemed, and he knew not of a way to get her off.
Lily grabbed Travis' hand and his heart skipped several beats. The blood seemed to be rushing to his face, but the depressing grey of the sky showed no blush in his soft face. She smiled sweetly at him and they went, hand-in-hand, back into the station.
The loud bang of the oversized door to RFR woke up Ray, and he saw two soaking wet figures approach and sit on the couch. He thought about who it could be and realized that the only people it could have been was Lily and Travis. His eyes widened in suspicion now, but he shook it off and quietly sat there.
Lily suddenly let out a surprised, "Oh!" as the lights suddenly went out with a clap of thunder. Her grip on Travis' hand tightened and he took in a sharp breath. They sat together down on the couch.
"Do you ever wonder about the world?" Lily looked hard at Travis, who's face was barely visible in the damp moonlight.
"What?"
"The world...I mean, do we have a purpose or something? We're just born and live life through the good times and bad, and then die. There's nothing special about that..." Lily told him.
"But what about loving someone?" Travis blinked.
Lily could no longer think of what to say. The comment he'd just made had turned her voice box off and had shut down her brain, but not her heart. She looked at him with a long pause and sighed.
"True..." she said.
Ray was watching from the floor, or listening rather, to them. He felt Robbie's warm breath upon his neck and felt his heavy head. He let out an "eww!" as a bit of drool escaped Robbie's mouth and pushed his head away. They had not noticed his awakening and he continued to listen in on the conversation. His stomach was turning round and he felt as though now was the time to throw up, and he didn't know why, but something told him something was going on.
"And what about occupying your every waking moment with thoughts about that person you love...?" Travis spoke slowly. His sea-green eyes caught the attention of Lily's and both their hearts melted so agonizingly slow that both seemed to notice.
"Right again." Lily spoke. The flirting now was so much it seemed insatiable. Lily was smiling sweetly at him, and Travis kept that solemn look upon his face as they inched closer and hadn't really noticed the kiss.
"You always read those romance novels, and watch those stupid soap operas, and you watch those people kiss, and you notice that it's so...not real..." Lily muttered to him, just mere inches from his face. Travis blinked slowly and nodded his head.
Yeah...so not real.
