Naveah laughed, smiling back at him. "All your books, shoved in boxes? This is just too weird - my apartment is similar to yours, and my books are all stuck in boxes too. Weird, huh?" She returned to leaning on his shoulder like she had earlier, looking up at the ceiling. The lights were kind of bright to just stare straight at, so she had to squint a little.
"I remember..." she murmured. Boy did she remember. Her first kiss... and his, too. On the floor in front of an alchemy circle, under the same kind of lights and with the awkwardness expected of two young kids fooling around. Turning, she gently kissed him on the cheek, a small smirk upon her lips. "For old time's sake, right?"

Jaxon blushed when she kiss him and squinched up his nose a bit. "For old time's sake," he mimicked, wanting to kiss her back. "Are you seeing anyone?" he asked, a little louder so it sounded more like a friendly question and less like a 'i'm asking so you can say no and i can be your boyfriend' question.
(ew short.. but I mean.. that's all i had to say)

Naveah looked at him with her eyebrows raised. Was she seeing anyone? Did he actually... care? Her heart was beating a little too fast with excitement and slowly, she shook her head no. They used to just kiss for... fun, or something. Now she gives him a little peck on the cheek and he wants to know if she's seeing anyone? She wanted to just shrug it off as a friendly question but something told her he had a purpose for asking. "No, not at the moment. I've been... too busy for a love life, I guess. What about you? Who's the latest hot catch?" She nudged him with her elbow playfully.

Jax snorted, the side of his face twitching like it usually did when he was nervous. Who was his latest catch? Well that had been Heather. And thinking about her.. wow. Thinking about her brought out the old Jaxon.. Little, scared, angry Jaxon that wanted nothing more than to hurt people because no one is what they seem. "I had a girl for a few weeks," he said, coughing. "She didn't really last long though. We weren't dating or anything. I just kinda liked her. She had a boyfriend."
That was it. That's all he was going to tell. She didn't need to know what happened to her, where she went, that she fell out a window.. Nope, did not need to know. "I guess I'm just trying to say I'm single," he said with a smile, turning his head to look at her. "Have been.. since.. forever," he forced a little laugh.

Naveah nodded grimly when he mentioned the girl he didn't actually go out with. That kind of thing was annoying - liking a guy, but getting no where with him. Where had she heard that story before? Oh right... back in high school, with my best friend Jaxon Porter. She began to think about how she had been crushing on him so much back then, and how all they did was kiss but it never went anywhere... Her gaze clouded slightly with a sadness. It kind of hurt when he left and never got back in touch but... here they were now, and perhaps that was fate. It does not do to dwell on the past, after all.
Shaking off the sudden thoughts, she smiled. "I've been single for forever too - well, I mean, not technically, but it feels like it." She rolled her eyes. "Dating is such a trip." She muttered. There had been other boyfriends in the past, but none of them really matter. Most of them were like Jaxon now, impressed with her new curvy shape and not the brain that was inside her head.

Jaxon nodded. "Its no fun unless they're one," he said quietly.
(i'm skipping time.. but.. hey. something needed to happen)
Standing, Jaxon put his hands on his hips and sighed. "You doing anything tonight?" he asked, "Cuz I'm not.. and I got my paycheck today. We could go get a drink, miss underage?" He wasn't asking her out. He really wasn't. This was merely a friendship getting a drink together. People do that, right? Of course they do. And even if they don't, this isn't as bad as making out with a girl you just met.

Naveah nodded in agreement and they sat there in companionable silence for a few minutes until he got up. Did she want to go for a drink tonight? She barely ever drank and she looked so underage... not to mention she wasn't exactly dressed to go drink. Did you have to dress up to drink? She didn't even know. But she didn't want to turn down a chance to spend time with him. "Sure, we can go for a drink as long as you take me home after." She stood up too, and offered a weak smile. "Do I have to wear something pretty or are we being casual?"

"Deal," Jax said as he went back to the kitchen to grab his keys. "You look pretty enough," he said without turning back to look at her. "No need to change," he added, as he slipped his sneakers back on and turned towards her. "Ready?"
(ew short.. i'm brain dead)

"Well, thank you, I guess pretty enough works, then." She joked, pretending to be offended. "No, seriously, thanks for taking me out. I'm totally ready to go have some fun."

Jaxon had been setting up for this party all day. Literally.. it had been all day long and he and Naveah had been working like tiny elves. Every inch of his apartment had been cleaned (twice) and then amazingly decorated with fake spider webs, stick-on bloody hand prints, fake ghosts hanging from the ceiling and anything else he could find at Party City or in his Halloween boxes. He had stood back just a few minutes before to admire his spooky work (honestly, it could've been a haunted house with how many strobes he'd set up) when Naveah reminded him that they'd probably need food and drinks. He hadn't forgotten.. Hadn't forgotten to buy them at least. Forgotten to take them out? Yes. Scurrying over to the fridge, Jaxon told Naveah to go get her costume on and began digging around as he pulled out all sorts of beer, veggie trays, some mini weenies he had to cook up, you name it. There was a shit load of food because honestly, he expected a shit load of people to be coming. He didn't really expect them to be here for his birthday so much as to be here for a Halloween party that had booze.. but either way, he loved to throw a good party with lots of music and HEY costumes! It was a bit of last minute scurrying (not really.. it was like two hours before but that's last minute for him) but Jaxon had finally finished. A few musical friends were bound to be showing up soon; he'd even set up a mini stage for them. Placing his hands on his hips, Jaxon nodded with success and went to his bedroom to get in his costume. Or, well, he didn't really have to get into anything as his costume was a pair of cargo shorts (and zombie face paint.. but that's not clothes). Taking off his shirt, he smeared some fake blood around his chest and went to the mirror to begin his makeup. "Naveah could you watch the door?" he shouted. "People should be here any second!" Within a few minutes, Jaxon's face was as gory as ever and he had to admit it looked pretty sweet. Sighing, he sat down on his couch and put his elbows on his knees. "Now we wait," he whispered. (this is what his face looks like: www.nimbacreations.com/special-effects-supplies/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/Ripped_Face_Pros_4f0ddf5d57321.jpg )

Naveah grinned when he told her to get into costume. He had asked her earlier on what she was going to be, and she had refused to tell him, just for fun. She wanted to surprise him, because her costume was a little... shall we say, out of her normal comfort zone? She ducked into the bathroom and stashed her clothes in a backpack that she left on the floor, then came out to show Jaxon, spinning around a little to flaunt it off.
She was wearing a pirate Captain's outfit, but the female version. Her legs were elongated with a pair of black boots and fishnet tights. Not to mention the short dress she was wearing made her look like she was some exotic ballet dancer, with the way it showed off her legs. The dress was white, with a black corset top underneath, but that was hidden by a brown Captain's jacket. She curled her hair and put a matching hat on top, just because she thought it looked nice. "So what do you think?"
She danced around a little bit to go stand by the door, then smiled back at him. She was absolutely in love with Pirates, and she hoped he knew it. She would watch documentaries and movies about them, read books and go to the Renaissance fair dressed up as one. "I like your costume, by the way." She pulled out her authentic (Dull) pirates sword from it's sheath and opened the door, leaning against it so it wouldn't close and so that she could say hello to the guests.

Esme was actually feeling conflicted about how to handle this whole night away from Cici thing; she was happy to have time with her husband but she felt an extreme sense of guilt for leaving Cici with her mother and stepfather even if she knew that they would be taking care of her. Was she scared though? Did she feel abandoned? She hadn't worried like this since Cassidy was just a couple of months old but those old fears were creeping up on her again.
So, she was trying to ignore that. She'd brought a couple of bags of bibble which she wasn't entirely sure if she was going to share or not. Probably not. Why would any sane person share bibble?!? It's bibble! She was enjoying her delicious treat as they walked up to Jaxon's apartment and possibly trying to make it so there wasn't enough to share with anyone else.
"I love bibble! How could you not love bibble? It's candied popcorn!" She'd been gushing about the snack since they got in the car to drive to Jaxon's apartment; it was just her favorite thing in the world other than her daughter and Hudson, of course.
Their costumes were awesome, of course, but she really would have preferred if he'd disobeyed her request and decided to wear something sexier like nothing.... then maybe he'd pull her down on the floor and they'd have se---- Okay so she needed to get her fantasy life under control again. She was holding onto his hand as she stepped inside of the party. "It looks nice in here, very sexy." She was trying to use the word sex as often as possible along with other words that went with that.
She smiled in greeting to Naveah before deciding to actually well greet her vocally. "Hey Naveah...." She raised a brow at her costume choice, it wasn't very Naveah-like.... At all. What in the hell was she even wearing? "You look... different... Good! But different." Was that for Jaxon? Were they like an item now?
Esme was definitely not judging her for using Halloween as a reason to get sexy as that would be totally hypocritical considering her Batgirl costume left little to the imagination. She finally had an excuse to show off her killer legs! She worked damn hard for them well that and her ability to walk in those platforms. She was one of the few people in the world who walked better in heels than in flats which wasn't such a bad thing since she was so short.
Her hair looked lovely but she had gotten it done professionally so her curls looked just right; she wanted to look perfect so her husband would want to rip this costume off of her body and make love to her somewhere in Jaxon's apartment.
Because men totally pay attention to hair.

She stumbled in the heels she was wearing and they were already killing her feet by the time she made it into the apartment. So maybe this costume was a little out there, ok it was really out of her comfort zone, and the heels well, they wern't helping. When did she turn ito a slut like the rest of the girls here? Well Why? Because she was paranoid that her husband was sleeping with Esme behind her back. Which she really doubted that. The burn blog lied right? All te time according to everyone, so she had nothing to worry about. Yet here she was, trying to walk in a pair of rediculous strappy heels, and make it look like she wasn't tripping over her own feet, and it wasn't working well. Her costume, a sexy black dress, didn't look like it was supposed to be anything, and if she didn't have the cat ears you could have assumed she was a stripper, or something of that nature. Her blonde hair was down, and looked flat, and boring with the costume, but she didn't have time to do anything about that, So h whowed up to the party looking like a stripper to keep her husband's eyes on her, yeah that was a brillant plan. www.polyvore.com/haloween/set?id=56847804

Hudson followed slowly behind as Esme as she entered Jax's apartment, tugging on his Batman cape. He loved Batman, he really did, and it was like a dream come true to be wearing a costume that made Hudson look just like him. But he felt out of place.. He knew every girl there was going to be in some short, slutty dress and that every guy was probably going to be shirtless. Something in the back of his mind just kept telling him that Esme had dressed him like this to keep other girls away from him. Something told Hudson that Esme believed the burn blog a bit too much.
He wasn't really complaining though. He loved Batman.
Upon entering, Hudson greeted Naveah and complimented her outfit with a smile before heading over to Jaxon. "Hey buddy, happy birthday," he said, giving Jaxon a hug. "Name anything bro cuz I forgot your present," he added, whispering in his ear.

Max awkwardly followed Rozzi down the apartment building hallway. He had his arm tightly around Rozzi pulling her close into him. He didn't approve of the outfit she was wearing at all. It made him uncomfortable knowing all the other guys would be staring at her as she was wearing that. He wasn't wearing anything special. He had on cargo shorts, black vans, and a orange top that said costume in black. He was wearing a jacket. But he took it off and put it over Rozzi's shoulders, before leaning down and placing his lips against her temple. "Baby, please put on my jacket. I don't want the other men staring at you since your wearing that. I already had to glare off a couple walking into the building, and I don't like them staring out you like that... That's my job"he said.
Before the got close to the door, he pushed her lightly against the wall. He placed his hands on her hips and pressed his body against hers. Before kissing her on the lips. He slipped his tongue into her mouth for a good amount of time. Before pulling away. He looked down at her with smile. "You looked sexy, Rozzi. But I don't want any other guy realizing that besides me"he said before attempting the pull her arms through the sleeves of his hoddie. Then guiding her to Jaxon's room. When they walked in her smiled at Naveah, then walking over to Jaxon. "Hey bro, happy birthday"he said hugging Jax in the bro hug type thing guys do. Before turning back to Rozzi in hope she put on his jacket.
