Re: The Ye Old Shoppe o' Curiosities (An OpenBook Production)

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: Switching on the scooter, I just winked at Johnny before putting on the helmet properly. With a clunk of cogs, Rusty fumbled into life, sounding pretty sorry for himself. He worked fine, though; he just had a bit of a nasty cough, is all.
Pulling out onto the street, I didn't look behind me to see if he was behind me. Instead, I just kept my eyes on the on road whilst making sure that I wouldn't get attacked.

A brow rose on the old woman's face, her fingers counting exactly how many scales were there. There were plenty more than she needed, which was an even better thing. And that made her grin, for once.
"Fine, a deal's a deal," she shrugged, getting a preprepared pot that she had on the side, "I shall see you in two days time."
Her smile didn't fade as she looked up from her desk. Waving her hand, she dismissed the girl with a look, ridding her so that she could concentrate on what she had to do for her potion.
"Make sure you're not late."

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I smiled and drove behind her carefully.
We arrived back at her house much faster than I expected, nothing happened and whoever made a glance in her way I made sure to glare them away. I stopped in her driveway and watched her pull Rusty to a stop.

Molly:
I smiled then raced off, not even bothering to pack clothes, and went through the front door. Joy filled my lungs as I sprinted through the downtown area and to Fergie's home. I knew the way by heart, I thought about it on my worst days.
I bit my lip and knocked on his door.
My heart felt like it was going to explode.
Maybe it would.
That would suck.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: Switching off Rusty, I thanked whoever was up there that he managed to make it home without any mishaps or breakdowns...or knife-wielding maniacs.
Slipping off the helmet and shaking my maroon hair loose, I let out a sigh, watching the light flicker on the curtains; they were watching a movie... Dirty Dancing by the sound of the song. That was a bad thing then.
"Thanks for that," I grinned, dismounting the scooter, "I hope that it wasn't too much trouble for you."

Fergie: I almost jumped out of my skin at the sound of the door knocking. It was an ungodly hour and I was busy watching Ugly Betty: my guilty pleasure.
"Go get that!" I shouted at the butler, "It's probably a drunkard."
But he was already on the task, striding to the door with the stereotypical frown painted onto his face. Parker was never jolly.
"It's Miss Molly at the door, Master Ferguson. Should I let her in or dismiss her from the premises?"
Leaping out of the armchair, I flicked the telly onto some war film that was on the other channel, all in one smooth movement. Shifting past the man, I practically legged it to the door, a cross between a smile and a look of confusion on my face. 
How could it be her?
It couldn't be?... Could it?
But opening the door, all I could do was extend the smile. I didn't care why she was hear, but she was.
Quickly looking around her, I did a swift search for any old hags watching. But as there seemed to be no-one else there, and before she could say anything, I grabbed her by the small of the back, pressing my lips against her's as deeply as I could.
Hey, a man's gotta eat.

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I frowned, "How could it ever be too much? I'm making sure that my girl gets home safe. That sounds pretty important to me, plus I can show you off."
I ended with a flashy grin.
I loved her.

Molly:
I wrapped my arms around him and enjoyed the kiss and when he went to pull away I pulled him closer.
Finally after a moment longer I broke the kiss but still held onto him, letting his breath caress my cheeks.
"Hey." I murmured quietly,"I might've forgot to mention earlier that you get me for two days straight for the scales, a little expensive I guess.."
I looked into his eyes with a hopeful look, one that hoped he wouldn't kick me out. The kiss reassured me a little but I still feared for the worse.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: With a bit of a shy giggle, I chewed into my lip slightly. He most definitely had one of those smiles that could easily make your heart skip a beat or twelve.
"N'awww. You're too sweet," I muttered, walking towards him with a smirk, "And don't deny it."

Fergie: I frowned, stepping to the side, "Really?"
But after a second, I shook my head, realising that with Molly's persuasive techniques and Lilith's desperation to have those scales. She would do that.
"Don't be silly. Now shut up and get in the house."

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I sent her an innocent look of 'Oh, whatever do you mean?' but ruined it with a dark laugh that burst forth.
"I won't deny it but I won't affirm it either, that keeps me mysterious, I heard girls like mysterious guys.." I joked.
I kicked the kick stand down and took off my helmet, shaking my hair into a better position on my head.

Molly:
I won't deny the fact that I practically skipped into his grand house nor the fact that I felt supremely under dressed and disgusting at the sight of his pristine home. Lilith didn't believe in baths, she thought they took away the dirt that protected you from disease, she didn't believe in brushing your teeth or hair either. She figured that if our ancestors didn't need them nor do we, I brushed my hair and teeth every moment I could but in Fergie's home I still felt.... out of place.
I looked at him, all dressed up nice and clean, then pictured myself; crazy wild hair that without product had gone back to it's curly state of hell, my face and body covered in patches of dirt, and finally my patchwork clothes that made me look like I was some sort of quilt.
I shook my head to rid it of stupid and vain thoughts and flung myself upon him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist then smothered his face with kisses.
I missed him so much.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: Rolling my eyes, a small chuckle escaped from my mouth. But then my stare fixed into his face, with th hair flick and everything. I know that stereotypically when a girl did it then th guy would literally wet his pants, but I had to say I could see where they were coming from.
And then there was that laugh.
"Partially," I shrugged, trying to control myself from leaping on him at that exact moment, "but I'm a detective's daughter; I like to solve those mysteries...but I guess it's not one if I tell you that you're the sweetest bloke in town."

Fergie: I had her for two whole days? So, two days of this? Brilliant.
I didn't even care about the fact that she was ruining my favourite sweater vest, all I cared about was kissing her back, sinking myself into her lips for this wouldn't come about all too often.
"I missed you," I murmured, peering into her gaze, "You actually have no idea."
But midway through our little greeting, my ears pricked up to the sound of a throat being cleared. Peering over my shoulder at the butler, my brows furrowed as he stood there, watching the two of us in the middle of the marble corridor.
"Master Fergus--"
"Jeffrery, go open a bottle of champagne and put it by the bath tub. Also arrange it specially so that Miss Molly here can clean herself up...and I'll sort you some clothes. I think you would want to have a bath primarily, eh?"
With a cheeky grin, I stared into her eyes, trapped by the alluring deep green gaze. And I didn't want them to leave that sight, but, reluctantly I had to admit, she did stink a little.
She must have ran here.
Bless her.

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I smiled.
"I'll let you solve my mysteries, but you have to promise to keep them to yourself, they're only for the special people in my life." I said, I leaned closer to her and stroked her face with a smile.
She was certainly special to me, very, very special.

Molly:
I blushed at the clearing of a throat, I hadn't realized that Jeffrery had been there all along. I had met the creature a few times before, I wasn't sure if he had approved of me yet, most likely not.
In the back of my mind I wondered how Fergie had gotten such a nice home, how he was rich. I knew he was a Lost boy from neverland so how did he gain a mansion, with a large marble entrance and designer clothes? I didn't really care at all though, at least I had him.
He could have worn a garbage bag and lived in a cardboard box for all I cared.
I nodded then, I kissed up from his throat to next to his ear.
"Want to join me?" I whispered slowly, only half joking.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: My cheeks turned crimson at that, feeling his hand against my cheek softly. And as a grin grew on my lips, my eyes fluttered away quickly to the front door that was in the corner of my eye, then quickly back to his face again. Getting onto my tiptoes, I planted a small peck on his smile, my fingers wrapping around his spare hand slightly. Lingering my lips next to his, I pulled a grin.
"I promise, but not right now; I need to catch some sleep. I've had a long day, what with things..."

Fergie: Beginning to grin again, I waited until Jefferey was out of earshot, which for a House Elf was pretty far away to be fair. Pressing my lips against her ear, I just grinned.
"Your choice m'Lady; for the next two days you are to make yourself at home here in this here mansion... And ignore him; he's just a sour creature naturally. The only people he likes are my parents and I, but thats mostly by force. I'll bribe him to be nice next time."

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I nodded and looked down, knowing that I sprung a whole bunch of information upon her in a small amount of time. I nuzzled her then straightened up, knowing that her mother and brother could be watching from inside.
"I love you, sweet dreams.... what happened about Lila?" I suddenly remembered what had happened earlier.

Molly:
I shook my head, "It's okay...could you show me where the bathroom is? I've never been in your house... also I think I don't want to be alone... I've had enough of that.." my voice went from playful to sad, loneliness was a scary thing.
I had had enough of it.
I wanted to be held and loved and noticed.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: I just shrugged, "How am I meant to know? But by the sound of things my mom isn't too happy about something... I'll ask Oli in a bit."
Which reminded me; he now knew that my boyfriend was an elf as Lila mentioned it. I
"And, by the way, she kind of mentioned that you were an elf to my brother so he knows. He said he was going to talk to me about it later."
Trying to dismiss those words with a grin, I hoped that he wouldn't mind too much. Hey, if my brother was going to be tied down to an elf, he would probably want to know about other elves, especially if one was dating his little, innocent-looking sister.
I just had to hope that he didn't tell Mom.

Fergie: I ran my hand through her hair carefully, a small frown forming on my face. I didn't want her to be sad. I hated to see that.
"Which one? We have a few. I expect, however, Jeffrey will be preparing the main bathroom and not my en-suite," I chuckled, trying to cheer her up, "And, Molly, I promise I won't leave you alone. You can trust a Lost Boy."
Beginning to walk down the corridor, my girlfriend still clinging onto me like a koala's cub, my eyes didn't leave hers. Fortunately because she was quite small and light, I could actually carry her.

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I ran a hand through my hair with a small little frown. "As long as he doesn't spill the beans we'll be okay... I just hope he doesn't mind us, because I just couldn't bear living without you.." I answered sweetly.
I scratched my nose, feeling it twitch at the scent of another elf that had entered into what was technically my territory. I grimaced as instinct caused my teeth grow sharper at the thought of an enemy in my territory but let it go no farther than that.
"I have to go, Robin, call me tomorrow."

Molly:
I snuggled my face into his chest, a smile creeping onto my features.
"I'm glad, also, I really don't mind which one... as long as I'm with you... ick.. I sound all mushy and sentimental.." I laughed, and kissed his nose.
When we reached the bathroom I sighed, the smell of bath soaps sending my senses into happiness.

[OpenTheDoor]

Robin: With a nod, I quickly pecked him on the cheek. I didn't press for answers to a question that would only be extremely awkward for the both of us. But, of course, I was curious to why he would react like that with other elves near here. Lila probably had a driver to get her here and back... That was probably it.
"Alright," I grinned, trying not to linger too much, "Love you, drive safely."
Why didn't I want to linger? Peeking backwards to look at the door earlier, I noticed a pair of amber eyes blinking at the two of us, watching. Angie neve gave me any space, did she?

Fergie: "I don't mind. I love mushy cheesy things... Keep that in mind," I winked at her.
Setting her down on the side of the bath, I just grinned at her, the scent of lavender filling my nostrils. To the side, a bottle of champagne, emersed in a bucket of ice and surrounded by candles. Oh, it was romantic. Just a shame that I didn't set this up myself.

[bookcrazI]

Johnny: I saluted her with a wink then placed my helmet onto my head. I revved the engine a few times for fun then sped off into the night, going back to my crummy apartment. I smiled at the thought of her as I entered my tiny place and grimaced at the thought of trying to deal with more crap.

Molly:
I smiled then dropped my pants, I couldn't wait to be clean. I didn't even mind him seeing my leopard panties, I dipped a dirty foot into the bath and sighed. It was perfect.
"This is perfect..."

[OpenTheDoor]

Is your avatar thingy you?

Robin: Just smirking as he sped off away, I turned around and frowned at the door. With a clink, the letterbox flicked shut as soon as I narrowed my eyes at it.
"Angie. I know you're there. Open the door." (hehehe)
Trudging towards it, it swing open to show the short girl standing there, Marcus sitting on her feet. Why did she have to watch?
"So that's Johnny. He's cute."
Rolling my eyes, I pushed past her, not paying attention to her talking. I had more important fish to fry. But as I peeped into the living room, I just saw the two of them asleep in their seats, my mom lying on the sofa whilst Oli was curled up on the floor, much like Marcus.
"Fine, I'll leave it for tomorrow."

Fergie: Picking up the champagne, I just grinned. Oh, I knew. If someone had set this out for me then I would be happy.
"And it's all for you."
Pop.
"Champagne m'dear?"

[bookcrazI]

yes it tis... why? it is strange to put the words to a face isn't it?

Johnny: _...shall we time skip till morning?_

Molly: I smiled when I turned back to him, he was the sweetest.
"I don't mind if I do.... have you heard from my mother?"
I kept a smile on my face although I was a bit worried, my mother was a bit weak when my father was on his trips overseas.
I smiled at him despite the dark thoughts that now hung in my head, I was going to focus on him, not on matters to darken the mood.
"Never mind..."

[OpenTheDoor]

It is, it is. Because you always imagine people to a certain way... Par example, I assumed in my brain that you had short hair

[Probably wait until Fergie and Molly get to morning, eh?]

Fergie: My brow stayed raised as I passed her the glass. But as I poured myself some, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go see your mother. I would do, just to see how she was handling it and if the magic was still in effect well...but, if you want, I, or we, could go see her."
Sitting on the edge of the bath, I put down the bottle, nestling it in the ice bath. To be honest, at the moment, I just wanted to focus on her, keeping her happy for the next few days without any down times. Was that hard to ask for?
"And nice pants."

[bookcrazI]

Lol- really? well... I don't, quite long actually

(sure )
Molly:
"No, these two days are for us, I'll find another way to deal with that.." I murmured calculating my next deal with Lilith already.
I blushed, he had noticed my loss of pants, then I mentally slapped myself. He was a guy, he had to gay not to notice a girl in her underwear without saying something, especially when she was stripping down to take a bath.
"Thanks, I wore my good ones." I joked with a wink.

[OpenTheDoor]

I can see that, but I couldn't make then, could I?

Fergie: I could see that... Heh.
Shaking my head from those thoughts, I had to remain focused on what was happening here at the moment. And as I took a sip of the bubbly, I smirked at her.
"Now, you want me to join you in that tub or shall I leave?"

[bookcrazI]

Nope unless you're a stalker..
Molly:
I rolled my eyes and threw my patch work shirt at the ground next to him.
"What do you think?" I asked leaning forward.
Sure, my bra was blue and my underwear white, it didn't match but I though I looked pretty damn good for about a month or two in captivity.

[OpenTheDoor]

...I'll say nothing

Fergie: Eh, I had to make sure.
"I'm not a mindreader Molly," I grinned, making sure that the door was locked behind us, Don't stare at her chest. Don't stare at her chest. She has pretty eyes, doesn't she?
Was she a mind reader? If she was then I would be a tiddly bit screwed. I mean, she was in her underwear for damn's sake!
But as I quickly stripped off down to my designer boxers, I dipped my toe in to test the water level. Jeffrey was learning well.
"Tallyho," I grinned, sitting in the tub, "Second bath of the day... Isn't there a thing where you can be too clean?... Oh well."
Clasping onto the champagne glass on the side, I continued to beam at her; yesterday I would not have thought that I would be sharing a bath with this beautiful girl. And I was going to make the most of these two days.
"Cheers!"

[bookcrazI]

0.o.....

Molly: I lifted the bottle, ignoring the glass he had poured for me, and clinked his drink. I took a chug then slipped into the bath, my back resting against his chest. I sighed at the perfect temperature then dived under the water and did some serious scrubbing at my hair. I came up for air, covered with bubbles from the surface, and grinned.
The bath was about the size of a large hot tub and at a perfect temperature. I crawled back over to him and cuddled against his chest, squirming around for a moment until I got comfortable.
"I love you.." I murmured.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: I could only let my grin grow a little more as she said those words.
"I love you too," I grinned, kissing the top of her wet head, not minding when I got my face covered in bubbles, "but if you keep on going the way that you are then then we'll run out of champagne."

[bookcrazI]

Molly:
I turned and looked up at him with waif eyes, pressing my chest against him for good measure, and fluttered my lashes. "Isn't that the point?"
I felt cleaner and I definitely felt a bit mischievous, I was allowed to be a little wild, this was a party wasn't it?
A party for two.
Plus I had never really seen his face be anything from calm whenever I tried to seduce him, sometimes a gal wanted to mess with her guy's mind.
Just a little.
We're evil, get over it.

[OpenTheDoor]

Fergie: "Touché, m'dear."
Raising my brow at her, I could only smirk at her. I knew that look on her face.
"But if I take more than one bottle then the 'resnt will notice it... Either that or we can drink Peppermint Schnopps for the rest of the night."
With a smooth laugh, I locked my hands behind my head, still peering at her. She did look gorgeous.

[bookcrazI]

Molly: I sat back on my haunches and grinned. I closed my eyes and raised my hands, the bottle of champagne raising with them. My brow furrowed as I concentrated and suddenly another two bottles appeared, settling down in the ice bucket with the original one settling back in it's original place.
"There." I said with childish glow.
"I learned that about a month ago." I added, "Also, I'm waiting for a kiss..."
I pointed at my lips and puckered them comically.
