Disclaimer I don't own these deliciously sexy guys, they just play along with my games. Hell, at least they do what I tell them.
On The Phone …
"Mom I need your help" Caleb uttered into the tiny piece of technology in his hand.
"Caleb? What is it? Where are you?" Evelyn Danvers answered the phone in a frenzy.
"We're fine. We're still in Warren, although I have yet to understand why we do this every year" Caleb answered in a tone that was a bit hostile.
"You will someday. Now tell me what's wrong" Evelyn muttered under her breath.
"We've met this girl."
Silence descended on the other line.
"Go on" Evelyn encouraged.
"She was part of this months entertainment. Her mother abandoned her here. We need to help her" Caleb responded with all the passion he could muster.
"A singer? In a band? Caleb are you sure you're not being conned?" Evelyn tried to see how convinced the boy was.
That made him angry.
"Mother! She is not a con artist. She's nice, brave and has a big mouth that got her in trouble, but she's good. So we are going to help her, right?" Caleb's anger had faded by the end of his venting. He was left with his words and a pleading tone that his mother could not ignore.
"Please".
He couldn't see her but Mrs. Danvers was smiling her biggest smile ever. Not that anyone could tell from her voice.
"I'll see what I can do" Evelyn replied.
"Thank You".
He hung up the phone and turned to find Pogue looking at him with his own goofy smile.
"You just blew up on your mom over a girl" Pogue answered Caleb's unasked question.
"She called Tori a con artist."
Pogue's eyes hardened with anger.
"Then she deserved it" Pogue countered.
For the next few days Victoria was relentless in her work. She had taken up room service deliveries. Whatever the time, she would be there. She ate very little although she wouldn't hear the end of it from Jenna or her mother. Sleep was the one thing that could keep her from her work and she was doing less of that every day. She looked tired on the outside and on the inside she felt the same.
Several people had heard her crying in her room; the fact that she played her guitar was indication of why. Tonight Jenna had an invitation that she wouldn't refuse. She wouldn't let her.
Jenna approached Tori cautiously "Hey Hun, how's it going?"
"Jenna … honesty? Hun?"
Jenna looked aghast at Tori. She was seriously countering this. "What, it's an endearment! We're friends, right?"
"Right" Tori answered a little skeptically. Jenna was up to something.
"Right and as your friend it is my duty to get you out of this rut. So tonight we are going to go to movie night" Jenna countered skillfully.
"Huh? Movie night?" Tori was confused now.
Jenna was beaming now … so she went on. "Yeah, the boys are having a movie night and We. Are. Going."
'So that's what this is all about.' "I don't think so. I've got the night shift and no one's on but me."
Jenna was so not having Tori's excuses. "I'll get somebody to cover you. You need this … I need this. You've worked harder than any of us these last few days. Please? I'm not gonna drop it, so you're coming."
"Fine" Tori muttered.
"Yay! You won't regret it. Com'on it's almost ten. We should pick up some stuff from the kitchen and take it with us" Jenna answered with too much enthusiasm.
"The kitchen it is" Tory tried with a little excitement.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
Muffled voices were heard from the inside of the room. A second later Reid opened the door. 'Well. Well. Mr. Garwin is very nicely shaped.' Reid wore a pair of gray sweat pants that hung low on his hips and the fact that he had no shirt on made him godsend. Jenna just walked right in leaving Tory and Reid at the door.
"Like what you see?" Reid asked with a sly smile playing on his lips.
Tory smirked a very familiar smirk or so Caleb thought from his position on the couch.
"Entertaining - yes. Distracting - not so much." And with that, Tory handed him the two bags of chips and walked passed him.
"Great! Victoria, you came. Now we just have to choose the movies" Tyler came excitedly from around the corner with his hands inside a giant bowl of popcorn.
Pogue seized the moment to embarrass Tyler. "You excited Baby Boy?"
"Ugh! Fuck You. She's nice and lots of fun" Tyler offered up.
Pogue's face showed just how amused he was. Tyler couldn't help it. He started toward him only to be stopped by Reid.
"Alright. Alright. I don't want you bleeding tonight, ok?" Reid intervened before Tyler got his face bashed in.
Tyler just took his seat at the foot of one of the couches and pouted.
' Hell, that looks cute on him.'
Jenna decided to break the tension with a simple question. "So, what are we watching?"
"Don't know yet. I say we watch the Tomb Raider movies." Pogue offered from the small kitchenette.
"Not a bad choice. Any objections?" Caleb asked with a slight smile on his face.
"Hell No! Lara Croft is hot!" offered Reid with a little more passion than needed.
The other boys nodded in agreement. This sparked Tory's interest.
"You guys like Angelina, huh? What exactly do you like, physically I mean?" Tori questioned with some interest and a little smile.
"The legs. The endless legs that beg a feel." Pogue offered without a second thought.
Tyler was next to speak. "Hmm … the eyes." Jenna nodded in agreement.
Tori turned her gaze toward Reid. He frowned at her but answered her anyways. "Well we all know I like her ass so let's not talk about this and start the movie".
Jenna's grin was rather sinister as she mustered "Eager much".
"Jenna we might not be five anymore but I will kiss you. SO how about you quit while you're still clean." Reid threatened with a playful smile on his lips.
"Shutting up now" Jenna responded.
They all turned to Caleb. He was fidgeting. Caleb Danvers was fidgeting under their stare.
"Well, Mr. Danvers?" Tori probed playfully.
"Why are we talking about this? Can we just start the movie? Reid start the movie" Caleb ordered.
"No. No. No. Answer the question." Tyler conquered Caleb's command. 'Ordering? Why was Caleb ordering his friends around?'
"Com'on Caleb, answer the question" Pogue offered.
"Personally, I like her lips. They're plump and moist. They look like they were made for nibbling" Tori stated without any fear.
The boys were shocked over her direct comment over another girls anatomy. Jenna just nodded, fully understanding what Tori was saying but oblivious to the boys 'discomfort'. Reid's smirk was priceless. The naughty thoughts going through his mind evident in the gleam of his eyes.
"Her breast"
Tori's head snapped up to meet Caleb's eyes. She found him facing away from her.
Tori tried to contain her smile "Excuse me?"
"Her breast. I like her beast. They're supple and smooth. They seem delicate." Caleb offered up in as confident a voice as he could muster.
Tory found all this information very "Interesting."
"What?" Caleb asked with a scowl.
"Well …" Tori hesitated.
Tyler couldn't stand the waiting. It was obvious to him that the girl wasn't going to lt up without some encouragement "Com'on spit it out".
"Well, the body parts you named tell me things about you. It's nothing serious just some general stuff that is supposed to indicate your personalities to me." Tori offered the jittery boys.
"How so?" Tyler asked truly intrigues now.
Reid had enough of Tyler's questions. "I should've let Pogue plaster you. Will you shut up now?"
Tori couldn't help but laugh before she added. "Oh keep your pants on. Anyway, Pogue you like legs. You like stability and comfort. (Pogue grinned) Tyler and Jenna, you guys like eyes. You approach people based on emotion. You also see details. Our Reid here, he's more of the movement of things …"
"Hell Yes!"
Tori glared and Reid motioned that he would 'zip' his lips. She didn't believe it for a second. "Anyway, movement. But beyond that, you like things to go at a certain pace. You have relatively no control or patience".
Yeah, we know" Caleb inferred.
Jenna couldn't avoid the words that slip through her lips. "Maybe he'll change soon".
Silence engulfed the room, followed by a long round of laughter.
"Ok. Ok. How about Caleb?" Pogue asked once everyone was calmed.
"Mr. Danvers …likes traditions. For him things are or aren't. Flexibility is known to him but he can be aggressive when needed."
Caleb sheepishly muttered "Pretty close".
"How about you? Huh? What are you 'supposedly' like?" Reid questioned. If everyone was going to get embarrassed over this stuff then she would too.
"I'm appealing when times apply and I can cause pain and pleasure" Tori answered with confidence.
"And?" Reid probed further.
"Com'on" Caleb urged.
Tori's eyes glazed over and she hid herself behind her mask of solitude. "That's it".
'No need for them to know the rest. I am NOT vulnerable and no one will ever be the wiser.'
Tori took the tension away by reminding them all why they were here "Let's start the movie. It's getting late and I do not intend on sleeping here."
For now, that's it. I'm still writing all this down, so give me time. Question? Is it too long? I feel like it might be too much before the true stuff happens. Well, let me hear you. Later!
