Silk Parlor Boarding House OOC/Casting call

[Silk Parlor]

I hear his concern I turn and walk to my desk I open a drawer pulling out a pipe and ash tray which was my fathers. I walk back to where Henry stood saying with a smile. “My father was as well I will be sure to put them through out the house for you.” I place my hand on his forearm softly smiling.

“May I offer you another glass of rum?” As I look up in to his eyes I feel his body heat close to me. I think of the time not so long ago then shake it from my mind. “Please feel at home here for your stay I must insist.”

 

[Henry]

I watch as Silky walks across to a desk and takes out an ashtray as well as a pipe..... I hear her comments about her father and i breathe a little easier knowing that, a smile purses my lips as i feel her hand touch my forearm.

As our eyes meet i hear her question and i respond with "Yes another glass of rum would be nice please placing the empty glass in her hands." Once again i feel her soft skin and long to touch more but wont do it, not appropriate to do this so soon after meeting a lady with such a position.

"I shall stay as long as i feel totally at ease" i replied as i smiled at her before returning my gaze to the oceanview. There looked to be a nice breeze drifting over the land, taking a chance i said "would you like to take a walk after dinner with me Silky."

Riley

Her eyes seem to draw me into their warm depths as she says

"Maybe, but for now I can attend to any of your needs."

Not knowing quite what to say, hearing her voice is so full of concern for me, I turn and walk to the window where I pull the drapes back. The room is flooded with light as the afternoon sun streams in. I think of Violets beautifull hair and I walk towards her and guiding her with me back to the sunlit square place a chair in the center of it.

"Sit here Violet." I arrange her hair around her shoulders so that the sunlight streams through it changing the hue and intensity of its color depending upon its thickness. I cup her chin in one hand and tip her head just slightly.

"Hold this pose for me for just a few minutes." I walk to my bag by the bed and pull out a sketch pad. Sitting on the edge of the bed I take a pointed piece of charcoal and begin to sketch her portrait.

 

[Silk Parlor]

Picking up our glasses I walk to him placing the glass in his hand in a soft voice. “I would love to walk with you after dinner.” As I look out over the sun just at the point of setting.

I smile as a calming peace runs over me watching the colors that the sun makes as it descends beyond the ocean and reflects across the shimmering water. I step closer to Henry enjoying his presences here with me.

“Thank you for sharing one of my favorite past times, I have always loved the sun set here my father and I did this everyday till his passing now I do it alone most of the time.” I whisper to him softly.

Violet

As I stand there in the room asking,
"Is there anything I can do for you?
Looking deep inhis coal black eyes and thinking about what he wants me to do for him.

He takes me by the hand and walks me over to the bed and sits me on the bed and says sit here for a moment. He turns away from me and goes to the bag at the edge of the bed and reaches into it. I sit there wondering what he's pulling out of the bag because of where he asked me to sit.

As he turns back around to face me I see a sketch pad and a peice of coal. He sets it on the bed and walks to me and places my hair and head the way he wants it to sit with th esunlight fading coming through the window. He picks up the pad and peice of coal and starts to sketch me.

I see the shadows of myself dance across the walls I ask
"What time is it?"
"Miss Silky has drinks in the parlor before sunset and then it will be dinner time."

" I wish not to be late so not to displease Miss Silky again."

As I smile at him and see his coal black eyes I wait for a response from Mr. Riley.

 

[Henry]

I take the glass from Silky's hand and her the words spoken quite softly, before we both look at the sunset, its captivating and enthralling to the eye. Feeling Silky move closer to me i look out the corner of my eye, i hear her words softly spoken again saying of her time spent here enjoying this with her father.

"Silky whilst i am here i would love to join you everynight if that is okay with you." i replied as i took a nervous step and placed my hand around her other shoulder and closing the gap between us even more.

Thoughts raced through my head as to whether this was totally appropriate, i believed it was and didnt think Silky minded.

Riley

The light is perfect as the sun is fading in the west and falling silently into the ocean. I hold my free hand up facing my palm out toward Violet and whisper "shhhh just a ninute more." A minute passes as I make the final lines.

"Ahhhh exquisite, I say through pursed lips absolutely exqusite."

I close the cover to my sketch book and put my charcoal away. I reach out, take her hand and pull her up beside me as I gaze out on the now quiet ocean, the tide is out and yes we should be going down to dinner.

I pause a moment basking in the closeness of this lovely girl and then turning I guide her out and down the stairs to the parlor.

 

[BlueEyedLover]

Violet

I had told Mr. Riley we needed to get down to the parlor because as soon as Miss Silky finishes her drink in the parlor it will be time to eat.

He looks up at me from his sketch pad and says just onw more minute as I see him draw a few more lines.

I watch him close his sketch pad and put up his charcoal then he walks over to me and takes my hand to help me up off the bed.
"I say we should be getting downstairs now foe supper so we do not displease Miss Silky."

We head down to the parlor to see if Miss Silky and Mr. Hill are ready for supper.

 

[Silk Parlor]

I felt his arm move about my shoulder as his body came closer with his words still fresh in my mind of him wishing to share my favorite pass time. A brightened smile creases across my lips as I spoke with splendid anticipation of the times to come.
“I shall be quit honored to have you here Henry to watch the sunset with me.”

I turned looking up in to his eyes as I stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek softly. “I wish you to feel welcome to what ever this place has to offer with out you feeling apprehensive. This shall be your home as long as you wish please feel as if this was your home.” As I look back out the window feeling at ease with Henry by my side.

As I heard Violet and The man descending the stairs approaching the Parlor. I glance back to the door. “Come in you two and have a seat, maybe a drink as well before Dinner. "Violet, get Him a drink as well as yourself. Henry would you like another?” I look to Violet and the young man then back to Henry smiling sweetly toward him.

 

[Henry]

I felt at ease and listened to Silky's words as they flowed....... Hearing some footsteps i turned as Silky spoke saying to enter. It was Violet and the other man, i smiled at Silky before returning my gaze to look out the window for a few minutes. My eyes once again met with Silky's as the words flowed forth in a soft questioning tone.

"Silky yes another rum would be nice please", as i placed my glass in her hands.

 

[prometheus 2]

Riley

"Miss Silky I say as I approach, my appoligies for not waiting for your approval before exploring this beautiful place but as you see I am a sailor home from the sea and am very happy to be on dry land again."
"So if I seem anxious to put down roots please excuse me. Vioet has been very receptive to my needs and for this I am grateful and hope that you will permit her to continue as she so willingly has."

I take Silkys hand and raising it to my lips kiss the back of it.

"My name is Riley It is my great pleasure to finally meet you."

As violet hands me a rum and coke I notice a change in the atmosphere, a quiet solitude, the tension of the afternoon gone as the sun sets.

 

[BlueEyedLover]

Violet

As Mr.Riley and I walk down the stairs Miss Silky says come in hear and have a seat you two and drink as well.

Miss Silky says get him adrink as well as yourself.
"Yes Miss Silky."

She asks Mr. Hill if he would like another and he says yes another rum would be nice.

I walk to the bar and make Mr. Hill and Mr. Riley a rum and my self a glass of rum as well.

Mr. Riley starts again to apologize to Miss Silky for not talking to her before exploring her beautiful house. He takes her by the hand a kisses the back of it. He tells her how much he has enjoyed my help to his needs and says I hope you will permit her to keep doing as she so willingly has.

I look at Miss Silky and smile.

 

[Silk Parlor]

Looking in to the depths of Henry eyes as he hands me his glass. "Yes, Henry another rum coming up." Walking to the bar as I see he young man approach apologizing for his misconduct earlier this day as he explained his reasons as well as his fundament of Violet and her fundament with him.
Hearing Violet speak every so often as she does what needed to be done.

I watch Violet walk closer beside me as she picks up the spiced rum pouring it in to Henry's glass then in to a glass for the young man. " Violet this be true you wish to spend time with the young man." I look at her with an arched brow questionably.

Now in front of me the young man reaches for my hand and lifts it to lips placing a soft kiss on the back. I smile as he spoke his name as Mr. Riley and his pleasure in meeting me.
Turning Violet hands him the glass of rum she poured for him. Picking up Henrys glass of rum I look back to Mr. Riley. " It's a pleasure to make you acquaintance. I do have rules for you as for the house you are a loud to go anywhere just please refrain from my room or other guest unless invited."

I look toward Violet then say: "Violet, Please make sure Mr. Riley is comfortable, Yet do not lack in you duties from this point on. Is that understood?"

I walk back to Henry as I hand him his glass smiling then with a wink I turn looking to Mr. Riley.Looking toward him with the same Arched brow. " What is this coke you speak of? I know of club soda nothing of this coke." Looking over to Henry questionably. "Mr. Hill have you heard of this coke? " *Giggling* softly to this new found word and wonder what if might be. " Is this coke of the government Mr. Riley?" Pausing a moment as I notice it was time. " We shall finish this conversation at dinner I wish to see this now."

Turning I watch as the sun cascaded over the ocean as it sets down in to the shimmering water. Taking a deep breath in contentment as the wonderful view still calms my heart as I lean against Henry.

 

[Henry]

Taking the glass my eyes met with Miss Silky's briefly, i took a sip of it and almost choked as i heard her question.

"Ummm no i haven't heard of this stuff called coke" I replied as i looked away shocked at my actions.

Having done so much travelling before i at last wanted to settle somewhere and now this.

My gaze turned to take in the sunset over the water before i noticed i had stained my shirt. "please excuse me Silky " i said as i indicated the stain.

"I will be back shortly and ready to have dinner"

 

[Silk Parlor]

Blushing slightly as I apparently caused Henry to choke on his drink. Then as I hear him speak of not know this thing of coke in this time of the 1840’s. I place my hand gently on Henrys back then softly patting to ease his choking. Then I watch as he looks out watching the sunset. I smile as I hear him excuses himself then motions to his shirt then saying he shall be back shortly for dinner.
“That shall be fine Henry; I shall a company you so I may soak the shirt or it shall stain. Spiced rum is good for staining if not dealt with right away. Violet, please show Mr. Riley to the dinning hall we shall be there shortly.” I walk toward the door as I smile toward Henry.

 

[Henry]

I heard Silky say that she would accompany me so she may soak the shirt so it doesnt stain. Then i heard tell Violet to escort the other man to the dining table.

I watched as Silky walked across to the door and as our eyes met i wondered if this had been a subtle way for her to check out my chest, shoulders and back.

Moving across to the door i offered my arm to Silky before i made my way across to the stairs to go to my room.

 

[Silk Parlor]

As I take his arm we walk out of the parlor to the stairs, ascending them to the second floor back to his room. I smile softly as he opens the door it for us.
After going in I stood by the door. In a soft voice: “Would you like me to wait in the hall Henry? I really am sorry I didn’t me to shock you with my question. I just found it rather compelling to find out what it is he spoke of.” I blush crimson knowing I had caused the chocking in the parlor. I turn facing the door as my eyes travel to the knob as my hands grasp it.

 

[BlueEyedLover]

Violet

Miss Silky asks me if I wish to spend more time with the young man.

"Yes Miss Silky I do wish to spend more time with him."

Miss Silky says make sure Mr. Riley's needs are met,but do not refrain from your duties.

"Yes Miss Silky I will be more cosiderate of your rules from now on not refrain from my duties."

Miss Silky asks me to show Mr. Riley to the dining hall. Her and Mr. Hill will be there shortly.

"Ok Miss Silky we will be in the dining hall."

I take Mr. Riley by the hand.

"Right this way sir."

 

[Henry]

As we entered the room i walked across and opened the wardrobe..... Hearing Silky's soft voice speak then apologise i turned to face her and noticed her almost leaving.

"Silky please stay while i remove this shirt, there is no need to apologise for what happened in the parlor."

Taking out a black shirt and jeans i started to remove both shirt and jeans, the jeans werent necessary but i felt that black would suit me a little better......... Removing my shirt i left it hanging over a chair as i glanced across at Silky. Putting on my jeans and starting to do up the last of the buttons on the shirt i noticed Silky's eyes on me.

"Is there something wrong Silky" i enquired, knowing that she was probably just admiring my body from a distance but i wanted to make sure.

 

[Silk Parlor]

Pausing as I hear him speak asking me to stay that I needed not to apologies. I turn slowly as I watch his movements as he pulls out a shirt and jeans from the wardrobe then undressing as my eyes widen he removes both his pants and shirt as my eyes are filled with his muscular body. I take in a deep breath to gain composure of the thoughts that flashed before my eyes. As I hear him ask if something is wrong.

Blushing scarlet at being caught watching him I turn to face the door with my back to him. “Please pardon my stares it has been some time since I seen a man change his attire in front of me. And no there is nor was anything wrong Henry: Just my adorning your physique.”

 

[Henry]

I watch Silky's face redden and then turn away from me as the words flow forth.......Realising i had been correct it was my turn to blush a little, moving across the floor i lightly touched her shoulder before speaking.

"It has been quite awhile since i have been in the company of a lady, if you would like to partake of a swim after the walk tonight you can admire my physique in closer detail."

 

[Silk Parlor]

"It has been quite awhile since i have been in the company of a lady, if you would like to partake of a swim after the walk tonight you can admire my physique in closer detail."

As I feel the heat of his hands softly caress my shoulders as his speaks of not being with a Lady then of the walk I had approved of, now he’s asking me for to go for a swim as well. Blushing brighter as he says: ‘so I could examine his physique more closely’

As I stood facing the door I lay my face to the back of his hand that is on my shoulder brushing my cheek against it. In a soft whisper “Yes a swim sound so delightful under the warmth of the summer”
Pausing as I straighten up I turn looking up in to his eyes as I feel a slight ping in my womb. “Let me get your shirt Henry so I may soak it please.” I spoke in a slightly altered voice.

Riley

As violet walks ahead of me into the dining room I can't decide if I want to walk behind her and enjoy the view as her golden hair cascades around her gently swaying in time with each step she takes. Or take a couple of quick steps and be by her side where I can see her eyes. The decision is made for me as she turns in the doorway her hair swirling around her, her beautiful blue eyes looking at me showing her willingness to please me.

I stop for a moment drinking in her beauty and then approach her. Taking her hands in mine I say my voice filled with wonder and desire... yes desire not to make love to this beautiful creature at this moment though the thought has certainly entered my mind but a desire to finish the sketch I started earlier and then tomorrow when the sun is just right and the tide was in find a spot near the ocean where the wind will do wonderfull things with her hair and the sun will bring out the deepness of the blue in her eyes, I will take my oils and finish Violets portrait. I can not find the words to say this perhaps my eyes alone are telling her as she smiles and squeezing my hands, says "I'ts nice to have you here...with me."

"It's nice to be here I answer ....with you. I answer."

 

[Henry]

I heard her reply and felt a little pang as i wondered if that had been the right thing to do, she turned and our eyes met again..... Her voice seemed different like my words had either shocked her by their brashness or something else, i couldnt work out what but stepping away from her i picked up my shirt and moving back to near her...........Resting my hand to push the door a little more shut i lightly touched her face as i brought my lips towards hers.

"Silky i am enjoying your company very much" I half whispered as my soft kiss to her lips was broken. Opening the door i offered my arm to her as we made our way out of my room.

 

[BlueEyedLover]

Violet

Mr. Riley follows behind me on the way to the dining room. We reach the door way to the dining room and I say
"Here we are."

I show him where he will sit and where I will sit.

He looks at me like he wants to say aomething but doesn't speak.

The only thing he says the whole time is it's nice being here with you.

"Well Miss Silky and Mr. Hill should be coming in shortly why don't we take a seat."
