She got her daddy's tongue and temper
Sometimes her mouth could use a filter
God shook his head the day he built her
Oh, but I bet he smiled.
Lee Brice, She Ain't Right
"You're a football fan, huh?" Lucas asked as he sat down on the couch in Sam's apartment, next to his niece who was currently holding Danny while watching a Keanu Reeves movie on tv with Kristina and Ethan, Ethan mocking Keanu's accent for the movie which made Adriana and Kristina both double over laughing at him. Adriana laughed as she looked at her half uncle and said "Mhmm.. Football, baseball and boxing.. I kinda like hockey, I'll probably wind up getting into that more, I mean now that I'm near somewhere it actually gets cold enough to have a hockey rink so I can go see a few games." as she asked him, "You?" and stared at the guy intently.
She got a certain vibe from him, but she chose not to comment.. It was only confirmed when he stated casually, "My boyfriend Felix and I go to a lot of the hockey games.. I think Felix goes for the men in uniform, I actually like the sport." and shrugged, bright broad smile as he asked, "Did you ever decide whether you were going to stick around?" as he looked at her. Adriana shrugged and said "Not sure, actually.. I'm thinking about it." as Kristina spoke up and said "You should stay. Then we can go to PCU together."
Ethan chuckled and then said "You should stay, though.. Nothing like having a family, knowing where you came from at last. It makes a lot of things make sense." as Kristina explained, "Ethan didn't know his dad when he came to town. Now that he does, he stuck around a lot." as Ethan chuckled and said with a wink in Kristina's direction, "It's because of her, actually. But having someplace that feels like home helps too."
"It does." Lucas admitted and then said "You should at least think about it.. I mean Sam's going through a lot right now.. You two could really help each other.." as he looked at his half niece and watched her facial expression. Adriana nodded and said quietly, "It's just such a big decision, y'all." as she bit her lower lip, shifted Danny from one side of her lap to the other.
It felt nice having such a big family, and Port Charles seemed like the home she'd always wanted.. But she was a Georgia girl, she'd been born there, raised there.. She just wasn't sure if she could cut ties and make a huge move like this, especially not permanently.
The door to her mother's apartment being knocked on had her getting up, maneuvering her way to the door as best as she could with her crutches and opening it. The blond male stood on the other side of the door and he gave her a strange look then said "Came by to talk to Sam.. I'm Logan? I work at her office?"
"Ahh, that guy.. I talked to you on the phone for a while last night while Sam was bathing my brother." Adriana said as Logan took note of her Georgia Bulldogs tanktop and shook his head then said "Texas would kick that ass for 'em."
"Right.. Because the Longhorns have such a great team." Adriana mused as Logan chuckled and said "You're Adri.. Right?"
"Adriana." Kristina spoke up as Ethan chuckled and leaned in to whisper, " Looks like he's staring a little bit."
"He's speechless.. Do we know how rare it is for Logan the loudmouth to be quiet?" Kristina whispered back as Lucas leaned in and whispered, " Oh.. He's into her alright.. It's all right there in the body language." before chuckling and watching the scene at the doorway of his half sister's apartment with amusement and concern.
He just wasn't too sure about Logan in all honesty. He knew enough from Lulu to know what Logan had been like in the past, not to mention his own personal experiences with the guy before he'd left and moved to Seattle.
"Sam's actually out right now.. You wanted something?" Adriana asked as she gave the guy a slight smirk and waited, shifting her weight from one side to the other. Just sitting around her birth mother's apartment the past week or so she'd been staying here had been nice but she was starting to get really, really antsy. She wanted to be up and at 'em already.. But the doctor she'd been referred to here seemed to think that she needed more rest.
"Something about work.. It can wait." Logan said as Adriana looked at the file in his hand, held her hand out and said casually, "Can't be too damn hard to understand.. I watch a lot of crime shows."
"God yes.. And it's kind of annoying." Kristina called out in a teasing tone as Ethan added, "But do not let her leave the bloody apartment.. Sam will have a fit. She's not even supposed to move any farther than this couch."
"What the hell did you do to yourself, darlin?" Logan asked as Adriana shrugged and Lucas informed him, "She'll tell you it was just a small car wreck.. Her car however, is now a smashed soda can sized wreckage at a junkyard in Georgia.. She was lucky she lived. And if she doesn't get her butt back over here and sit down, she'll be lucky to be off the crutches she's constantly complaining about within a year."
"Dang it, y'all, it's not that big a deal. I just lost control of the car, it can happen to anybody." Adriana said as she looked at Logan who stared at her a few moments then said "Actually, I gotta run. I'll come back by later." and made a hasty retreat.. He smiled to himself a little as he walked down the hallway and onto the elevator.
He hoped that she was sticking around because he'd really like to get to know her.. Even if it didn't go anywhere.. She just seemed like one of those chill girls he could actually be friends with without the worry of them trying to fall for each other or something. And these days, he'd take friendship over a relationship any day of the week.
