Angelic Thoughts...Devilish Surprises - DA's Inspirational Journal

[darkangel76]

"Indeed it does," she says, her lips turned upward into a smile. She giggles at his other comments as well as his jab. When he places his arm about her, she leans close relishing both the warmth and the contact. Her eyes are expressive as he speaks words of thanks, telling her that he'll be back to visit the following day--something she knows she'll look forward to. "Well, if you make a home for yourself, I will visit you often. So much so, you'll probably tire of me," she kids, her eyes averting briefly before returning to look back into his. "Though, sleep well, Glad. And thank you for visiting. You're always welcome here. Always..." she says. As she watches him fade, she blows him a kiss and whispers, "Good night, Glad. Until tomorrow."

He steps into the warm inviting home of DA. A slant of afternoon sunlight and the scent of freshly cut grass drifts in with him. He steps into the library, where he finds her bent over the tomb for countless stars. She had whispered to him that this was the one she was working on. He cannot wait to read it. He is not rushing her, he just wanted to see her write. He leans his tall frame against the doorway and lets his eyes rest on her, wondering how long until she notices him, if she does. He wonders, she seems fairly intent on her writing.

 

[darkangel76]

As she finishes up her writing, she cannot help but smile. She knows he's there. Watching. Waiting. Glancing over her shoulder, she sees him standing in the doorway just as she knew he would be. Slowly, she gets up, papers in hand. "Here," she says, her face lit up with a smile, her blue eyes sparkling. "It's finished. I hope you like it." Gently, she reaches for his hand with one of her own and with the other she presses the papers firmly there for him to read.

 

[The_gladiator]

a slow smile splits his face. He gives her a warm hug before taking a seat in one of her comfortable armchairs to begin to read. He reads the words a smile coming to his lips. And the plot thickens. He actually chuckles as one of her main female characters completely misunderstands her rescuer's words. It is perfect in that that is exactly what the character would do, so put off by the captain as it is. He grins and nods.

He leans back in the chair a satisfied smile on his lips. "It is good DA, very good. I can't wait to reply."

 

[darkangel76]

She bites down on her lower lip as she watches him read, her breath catching in anticipation and worry, fearing mistakes or other mishaps she might have made. When he finally finishes an gives her that smile... she feels her muscles relax, her body loosening up as she lets go of all the tension that had just consumed her. "I'm glad you liked it," she whispered, her blue eyes averting and fixing onto the floor. "Your reply will be amazing."

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughs at her words, "I think amazing might be too strong of a word, but still, it warms me that you have such confidence in me." He smiles, and truly he is glad to see her anxiety lessen, she truly need not worry so greatly. It was a forgone conclusion that he would like her posts at this point.

He closes his eyes briefly. He slept better the previous night, but he is very tired still, "I could almost fall asleep right here." he says with a chuckle.

 

[darkangel76]

"It is not too strong of a word," she says, a tiny pout on her lips. She gives a smile then and giggles. "If you are tired," she then adds, "You know you needn't ask... you are always welcome to sleep here."

 

[The_gladiator]

"I thought we had the daytime sleeping discussion at least once before, sadly I have trouble napping, its rough and sucks but I usually can't do it. Even still you are very sweet, thank you for the offer." here he gives her a wink, "Unless you were offering to cuddle while I nap and then I might consider it." his smile is playful teasing her.

 

[darkangel76]

She nods and smiles. "We have," she says softly, her cheeks a bit pink. A giggle erupts at his next comment as she move close to give him a nuzzle. "You would say something like that," she teases back.

 

[darkangel76]

She sits down on the plush couch and curls up with a blanket. On the end table next to her is a cup brimming with ginger tea lightly sweetened with orange blossom honey. As she sits there, she turns on some music--tonight's choice being some Concrete Blonde. Relaxing, she reaches for her tea and takes a sip, letting out a soft sigh and letting the music fill her ears. A smile spreads across her face as she listens, her mind wandering a bit as scenes from various stories flit through her mind. Oh the fun she'll have tomorrow taking them from thought and turning them into reality on the page.

 

[The_gladiator]

he falls from the ether into her lap "Oooof.... Dammit scotty." he waves his fist at the ceiling in pretend rage.

He then looks down at DA, "Hey... Thought I'd uh... well sorta drop in on you....uh, apparently literally." he chuckles, "Mind if I join you?"

 

[darkangel76]

A tiny yelp escapes her at the sudden thud and sprawling weight that has fallen into her lap. Her cheeks redden a bit and she giggles then. "Of course I don't mind," she says softly. "You're always welcome here. You know that."

 

[The_gladiator]

He rearranges himself so he is laying across her his head and feet on either side of her, he props his head on a pillow and looks up at her... "Miss me?" he teases bopping her with another pillow. "I went to eat sloppy joes, and take a shower too." he smiles.

 

[darkangel76]

She lets out a small squeak followed by a laugh. "Always," she says, smiling brightly, giving him a playful poke. "Sounds like a fun evening," she adds. "I had steak and veggies and I, too, showered earlier." She stretches a little and tugs on the blanket.

 

[The_gladiator]

He grins, "Oh did you? and just what is that blanket hiding I sure hope you are....err... aren't naked under there." he teases and playfully lifts the hem of the blanked like he is going to peak beneath it. "It wasn't a bad evening. spent some time with family as well, chich is nice of course. Steak... sounds yummy... you can keep your veggies though."

 

[darkangel76]

She laughs as he reaches for the blanket, but she has her jammies on anyway. Giggling, she shakes her head. "Always against the veggies," she chides. "Well, more for me. And the steak was delicious. Medium rare. Nice and juicy." She pats her belly with one hand while the other moves to start playing with loose tendrils of her hair.

 

[The_gladiator]

He laughs as she brags about her dinner, "Mmm, sounds good for sure. you have a thing for beaf." he winks.

Seeing her playing with her hair he sits up. "Do you want me to do that?" he asks softly moving so he is behind her hands sliding into her hair, to play with it. "Its bed soon for me. I don't want to get up in the morning." he grumbles as he plays with her hair.

 

[darkangel76]

"Silly!" she teases at his comment, shifting her body so that he can get behind her. Her eyes close as he begins to play with and stroke her hair. So soothing, so calming. All too soon, a calming sigh passes over her lips. "Mmm... I'm probably going to go to bed soon myself," she says, a hand reaching behind herself to gently touch him.

 

[The_gladiator]

His arms slide around her for a brief but tight hug, "Then it is off to bed for both of us, even dark angels need sleep." he says with a chuckle. "Good night, darling... sleep well." he gets up reluctantly stopping his playing with her hair. He kisses her on the cheek before he waves his arms at the ether inviting it to come and suck him away for the evening.

 

[darkangel76]

She leans into his touch and warmth, returning the hug from where she sits. Giving him a nod, she watches him fade. Blowing him a kiss, she whispers, "Good night, Glad... sleep well. Until tomorrow." Smiling, she curls up in her bed and drifts off to sleep.

 

[darkangel76]

She slowly sits up and rubs the sleep from her eyes, stretching then before pushing the blankets away from her slender body. Tiny sleepy sounds roll from her mouth as she shifts and moves, willing herself to get up and start the day. She has much to do this morning before she can sit and relax and enjoy the things she loves to do... such is the way... But all too soon that precious time will come and with it so will her smiles. Yawning once more, she brings her hands down to rake them through her spiral tangles, her thoughts already drifting, already swirling, already thinking of later.

 

[darkangel76]

She lays down on her bed wrapped in soft blankets, mind filled with swirling thoughts as she dreams. The visions lurking there are vast and many, but for now... sleep. For the next day she must wander a little until she can settle back into her thoughts once more. Though she shall miss her library and adding pages to the many tomes she has stored there in what she has come to know to be her usual manner. But such is the way of wandering. But it shall be short lived, a mere dot on the time line of life. She just hopes there will be patience, patience and understanding. But for now... sleep. Sleep until she is able to wake later.

 

[The_gladiator]

A small note left in her library... "Have a safe trip. I will try to leave you a present in our shared tombs."

 

[darkangel76]

She sees the note and smiles knowing its from him before she even picks it up... upon reading it, she immediately wanders to the library to check and there as he'd alluded... the pages had already been written.

 

[darkangel76]

The sky is dark and darker still as rain clouds roll in and blot out the light of both moon and stars. Slowly, a light drizzle begins to fall as she enters her humble haven--a place she has truly missed all week long due to having to be away. Her footfalls are light upon the floor as she enters and carefully she removes her shoes. She then makes her way over to a comfy couch and sits down, nestling deeply into the plush as she breathes in deeply only to exhale slowly. Ah yes, the comforts of home.
