Kristian Devereaux walks up to the front door of the house off Jeszika Gautier, his dog, Ravvy, and his cat, Casey, sitting patiently on their leashes as they wait for the answer to the knock to come. Jeszika had invited a group of friends over for a movie/lunch day and Kristian had managed to be the first one to arrive.
Kristian: Are you guys excited? Yeah?
He nods as his two pets just look at him, waiting for the moment he lets them run wild.
Jeszika walks to the door wearing jeans and a singlet and opens it with a smile.
Jeszika: Hey, you're early.
Kristian: We can always go for a walk and come back...
Jeszika: That we could, or we could throw some ball in back yard maybe?
Kristian grins down at his pets.
Kristian: Would you guys like that? Go run in Miss Jeszika’s back yard?
Ravvy barks an answer, happily wagging his tail.
Jeszika: Such a cute thing, isn’t he?
She grins.
Jeszika: Come one, lets go.
Kristian nods and they out to the backyard where they immediately let both Ravvy and Casey off their leashes. Balls are produced and are quickly thrown.
Jeszika is all giggles as she throws the ball for them to chase.
Jeszika: All of this is really making me want pets of my own.
Kristian: Don't some of your friends have some?
Jeszika: They do, but one of my own would be nice. Their dogs can't snuggle with me at night.
Kristian grins.
Kristian: What would you get?
Jeszika shrugs.
Jeszika: I dunno, some kind of lap dog maybe, a bichon or something. Ooh maybe even a husky.
Kristian: I know somebody has one. Beautiful girl, that husky, just had puppies too.
Jeszika: You're kidding me right?
Kristian shakes his head.
Kristian: Naw, her name's Bessie. She's a beautiful dog.
Jeszika: Wow, I wasn't expecting that.
Kristian grins.
Kristian: It's kinda how I got Ravvy too. Friend of mine rescued him and then, poor bastard, figured out he was like deathly allergic to pet dander.
Jeszika: Oh man, that blows.
Kristian: Barely got him home as a puppy. I lived next door and was about to move and he asked me if I wanted to take him and I said sure and... here we are.
Jeszika smiles before she throws the ball again.
Jeszika: Bet Ravvy is glad for that.
Kristian: I know I am.
Jeszika: How long have you had him?
Kristian: Since he was about thirteen weeks old. He's three now.
Jeszika: Nice.
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Casey’s only a similar story in that I got her from a breeder as a Christmas bonus two years ago because i had to almost completely rebuild the woman’s Cadillac. She felt bad for taking up so much of my time.
Jeszika: Bet she's glad too.
Kristian: Casey? I like to think so.
Jeszika: Harder to tell with cats.
Kristian: Best bonus I ever got! I spose she figured I deserved it cause she brought the car in for an oil change, a rattle and a weird smell and the problems just kept growing. Every part I took out, there would be three more that were just as bad. It was amazing, like one of those home repair nightmare shows where somebody buys a house thinking it just needs a paintjob and they figure out they basically need to gut the house to its frame and start over.
Jeszika: Epic job.
Kristian nods.
Kristian: Turned into one, yeah. That was a nightmare after a while, ya know? Like, a please god, let this be the last one so i don’t have to tell this poor woman she needs to spend yet another thousand dollars for what she thought would be a fifty dollar job.
Jeszika: Ah makes sense.
Kristian nods as he watches Ravvy and Casey jump for their respective balls.
Kristian: She brings it by every three months now to get the oil done and check everything, bless her. Woman is like clockwork, she will be by at nine o’clock in the morning on the first Monday of the month every time.
Jeszika: People and routines, I just do things whenever, no set time. Hell I've almost missed flights before cause of my lack of routine.
Kristian chuckles.
Kristian: I heard your friends mention you'd all have never made a show without Miss Nikki.
Jeszika: Yep she's the one who books everything. Deals with our money coming in from UWA and all.
Kristian: Her dog seemed friendly the other day too.
Jeszika: Yeah he did. She's an awesome girl our Nikki, my oldest friend.
Kristian: Did you guys actually get Miss Ashley a dog?
Jeszika: Yep, she got a little border collie.
Kristian can’t help but smile.
Kristian: She must’ve been ecstatic.
Jeszika: Totally, was quite cute really.
Kristian: Miss Ashley or the dog?
Jeszika: Both
Kristian: Puppy or older?
Jeszika: Puppy.
Kristian: Well, that's good... she'll get to grow with the puppy.
Jeszika: Yeah, she will.
Suddenly Jeszika finds herself being pushed over by Ravvy as he jumps on her and licks her face without warning. He knocks her off her feet. Kristian catches her, looking just like a movie.
Kristian: I spose Ravvy is really happy to play. Are you ok?
Jeszika nods looking up at him for a few seconds, finding herself lost in his eyes before she recovers herself.
Jeszika: Yeah, I'm good.
He nods and helps her regain her balance.
Kristian: Ravvy...
He pauses and glances back at the fence gate.
Kristian: Oh... I think Miss Nikki is here cause that looks like Cain waiting by the gate.
Jeszika blushes a little dusting herself off.
Jeszika: Yeah, let's go say hi shall we?
They make there way to the driveway.
Jeszika: Hey, Nik.
Nikki waves and then glances behind Jeszika.
Nikki: Hey, Jezzy…
She nods to Kristian as well.
Nikki: Mr, Mechanic Man.
Kristian chuckles.
Kristian: Miss Nikki.
Nikki smiles.
Nikki: So Ash and Billy are still at the hospital, Carrie’s at work, she got asked to stay a little bit and Cal called to ask Bethy to go help her dad at the bakery so they’re all gonna be a bit. Um…
She shakes her head, trying not to laugh.
Nikki: Why don’t I go take Cain for an extended walk, you guys get started and I’ll coordinate everybody coming over here and pick up a pizza or three?
Jeszika offers her a pleading look but also one that say she can see what Nik is up to.
Jeszika: Sneaky Nik, real sneaky.
She says quietly.
Jeszika: I'll see you in a few then.
Nikki nods and walks off with Cain in tow.
Kristian: So, gonna be a while?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika: Yeah, I'd say so.
Kristian: Well, Ravvy and Casey seem to have finally tired out a little.
Jeszika leads him inside.
Jeszika: So what kinda of movies do you like?
Kristian shrugs.
Kristian: Little bit of everything.
Jeszika: Ok, look over my collection and see what you wanna see. I got everything from horror, to romance, to fantasy to suspense, even musicals.
Kristian: Wow, you got all the Transformers movies...
Jeszika laughs.
Jeszika: You're surprised? You've seen my car right?
Kristian: Well, the fifth one hasn't been out that long.
Jeszika: I like to keep on top of movies I like. Buy them on release day most of the time.
Kristian nods.
Kristian: I can see that. I knew there was a reason I keep expecting to see you pull in with a Barricade type car too.
Jeszika: Hey it might happen one day, but for now, Bumblebee is enough.
They put on the first Transformers movie and settle in on the couch.
Jeszika: Haven’t watched this is a while, be cool to see how it is with the new surround sound system and TV.
Kristian: Never heard anything like this.
Jeszika: pretty amazing isnt it? you wait till it gets to an epic part, the bass on this thing is insane. Makes me glad my neighbours are all miles away. YOu feel it thats for sure.
Kristian nods as the movie continues on. At about an hour and half in, their hands slowly come together. Jeszika's hand ends up on top of his on his lap. She doesn’t realize at first, but when she does, she pulls it away, a look of shock and shame on her face as she blushes a very deep red.
Jeszika: Sorry I didn’t mean...
Kristian: You really don't know what you want, do you?
He shrugs.
Kristian: It's ok, I put it off when your friends seemed to know something I didn't and I even sort of put aside that look earlier today when you fell into my arms...
Jeszika: I... I don't...
She stammers, not sure what to say. She really didn’t know what she wanted, that much was true. Kristian nods.
Kristian: It's ok...
Jeszika manages to compose herself.
Jeszika: Do you... like me that way?
Kristian looks into her eyes and then leans in, kissing her gently.
Kristian: I have to admit… I wouldn’t mind getting to see you more often, even if this was all I got.
She looks up at him, behind her eyes she's fighting and internal battle. Part of her wants to run from the room and never come back, the other half wants to take him in her arms and kiss him blind.
Jeszika: I'll only hurt you...
Is all she can say when she speaks again.
Kristian: I'd be willing to take the chance.
Jeszika: Even knowing what I did to Brody and Melissa?
Kristian: Buy the ticket, take the ride…
Jeszika: I... I want to... I really do...
Kristian kisses the top of her head.
Kristian: It's ok, there's no rush... I'd wait forever...
She looks up at him.
Jeszika: You really mean that?
He nods.
Jeszika looks down, deep in thought, her internal battle still being fought. Then instead of kissing him, she merely lays her head on his shoulder and snuggles into him.
Jeszika: you're one crazy man, you know that?
Kristian: I spose I am...
He sits there, enjoying the feeling.
She laughs a little all of a sudden.
Jeszika: I can hear Ashley now saying 'I told you so.'
Kristian: Doesn't sound like she gets to say that very often.
Jeszika: She doesn't, but in this case, she would.
She looks up at him
Jeszika: Even if venturing into this... scares me...
Kristian: It does mean we get to try together... if you want to.
Jeszika: I want to... God I really do want to...
Kristian: I want to... too.
Butterflies between to run rampant in her stomach and her heart rate quickens.
Jeszika: Kris... Please don't let this be just another passing dream that will end in a few months... I don't know if I could handle that pain again...
Kristian: It's whatever you want it to be, Jezzy...
She looks up at him as he uses her nickname for the first time ever, and she's speechless as she stares into his eyes, her breathing starting to quicken and her lips part a little. She's not sure whether to make the move that her body is telling her to do or not. her mind body and heart were at war.
Kristian nods and leans down kissing her, this time passionately.
She kisses him back this time, not holding back, as her emotions urge her onwards. After a few moments she pulls away, staring into his eyes for a few moments before settling down on his again, her lips still tingling from the kiss.
Kristian puts his arm around her and they settle in next to each other to finish the movie.
********************************************************
"Love... its a funny thing, it can both build you up and tear you down....."
"I have experience on both sides. Mostly the tearing down parts. I have a pretty bad track record when it comes to love. I've hurt people and myself in the pursuit of love. The people I've hurt are now happy finding themselves with other people who deserve them more than I ever did. If I truly loved them I wouldn't have done the the things I had done."
"If I truly love Melissa I couldn't have gone and slept with Brody. If I love Brody I wouldn't have ripped his heart out on live TV. If I loved either of them I wouldn't have put them in harms way like I did."
"And now here I find myself on the precipice of another cliff. Another relationship to throw myself into. With a man I've been friends with for three months. I'm still not sure its the path I want to take. I don't want to hurt him and I don't want to get hurt. He's a good man and deserves better than a mess like me. I'm damaged goods working on repairing myself, but can I ever be truly whole again?"
"They say true love fixes everything... We'll see if that's true"
"True love is something you know all about isn't it Craven? You... The man who spent a decade or more chasing his true love around the world... You who craved her so bad you were willing to do anything to find her. Congratulations on the engagement by the way. Goes to show persistence does pay off sometimes."
"But true love isn't enough to win matches. I know that and I hope you know that too. Skylar isn't in the ring with you, only you and me. And there won't be no love bites happening. I come brandishing fists and feet. Not kisses and cuddles."
"Last week I proved to the world that beating Aerynn wasn't a fluke. I proved I deserve this title belt. That I am the champion this company deserves. Baron and I took each other to the limit and I still came out on top. I was a good fight Baron, I hope we can do it again sometime."
"This week we find out if Barons Sin City Knights buddy is up there with him in ability and skill. Can Craven get done what his boss couldn't? Time will tell."
Kristian: Are you guys excited? Yeah?
He nods as his two pets just look at him, waiting for the moment he lets them run wild.
