it had been two days since Kori had met Ethan. She though about him constantly, and she was driving herself mad. She didnt know what to do. He hadnt called her, so should she call him? All kinds of questions buzzed anout in her head, and she felt like a troubled school girl.

She drove home on Friday night, and got out of the car. She walked up her driveway, entering her house. She dropped her things by the coat rack and shelf by the front door, and walked lazily into the kitchen to get a drink. She heard the pitter patter of paws, and then felt the gentle licks of her Border Collie mix dog on her knee. She smirked and bent down to stroke the dog's soft head, "Hi Cruz.." she grabbed a glass cup out of the cupboard and filled it up with water.

She leaned back on the counter and took a sip, eyeing at the piece of paper she had pinned on the board that sat by her phone, with Ethans number on it. She stared at it, drinking her wayer, before she couldnt help it anymore, and she set the cup down and strode toward her phone, picking it up and dialing the number. She fidgeted nervously, and let out a sigh of relief when the answering machine picked up.

After the tone, whe left a wimpy message. "Hi Ethan, um..its Korbynn..havent talked in a while, um..I was wondering if you wanted to hang out this weekend? Ya know..since we dont work till monday..um, you can come to my place, and we can watch movies, or if you come up with something, we can do that too...um..call me back? Bye..."

She hung up the phone with a click, and she sprinted to her couch, beneing over the top of it and rolling onto it. She grabbed a pillow and let out a squeal, her dog, Cruz, barking in response. Kori let a hand fall on the dogs head as she rubbed it gently. "Oh boy, What did I just do.." She gave the dog a hopeless look.

{Reference for Cruz:}

It had been a few days since he had seen Kori, for that Ethan was certain. He hadn't fired up the guts to call her, and wondered if he ever would. Not yet anyway; he continued to put off the phone call until the last moment. His hands were resting lightly on the leather steering wheel, lucid blue eyes gazing ahead of him and at the road. Music was playing softly from the speakers, and as he bypassed several other drivers, he glanced in his rearview mirror to make sure he was clear on both sides. Exiting off of the freeway, he soon slowed the truck down greatly and stopped at the next intersection. Despite working all day, Ethan wasn't tired. He contemplated calling Kori, but decided that it was for the better if he just left it alone. He wasn't good at things like that anyway, and shook his head. Working as a mechanic, he had faint grease marks on his cheeks, his hair messy and unruley around his head.

Within a few minutes, he had reached his apartment, and quickly parked the Avalanche in the lot that he shared with several other residents. Turning the key, he slid it out of the ignition and opened the door, hopping out and locking the truck behind him. Making his way up the sidewalk, his boots slapped down onto the concrete as he strode to the side door, to where he quickly unlocked it and let himself into the building. Soon, Ethan reached his apartment, and he quickly entered, sliding his boots off of his feet and making his way to the kitchen. Sliding his phone out of his pocket, he set it down onto the smooth counter top while opening the fridge and staring at its contents. There wasn't much to eat in it, but there was enough to make a dinner for one.

After fixing himself a sandwhich, he sat down in front of the television and started to eat, not really paying attention to the news broadcast that was flashing across the screen. Suddenly, the sound of his phone ringing made him jump, and Ethan put the half-finished sandwhich to the side, quickly pushing himself off of the couch and making his way to where the sleek device was going off. An unknown number was calling him, and Ethan frowned at the screen momentarrily, before the call ended. Figuring whoever it was would leave a message, he leaned up against the wall and waited for the signature sound that would alert him he had a new voicemail. As soon as he heard it, he opened it and listened intently, his heart giving a startled jump as he heard Kori's feminine voice on the other line. After listening, a small smile touched his features and he saved her number, pressing the call button and holding the phone back up to his ear.

[Sammi]

Kori jumped sloghtly when she heard the high pitched ring of her phone. She llet it ring two times, her instincts screaming at her to stand up and go to the phone. Cruz barked at her, and she couldnt resist it any longer. She stood and practicqlly sprinted over to the telephone. She picked it up, her voice almost shaky, and she twiddled her fingers around while she breathed. "Hello?"

[Spritz]

"Aha!"
Ethan's face broke into a smile, as soon as he heard Kori's light voice on the other end of the line. Shifting his position slightly, he grinned and ran his hand through his hair, phone pressed up to his ear. "It's Ethan." Clarifying who was calling, he looked to the side and moved back over to the living room, taking the remote and quickly turning off the television so he could hear when Kori spoke.
(Blagh.)

[Sammi]

Kori smirked, her heart skipping a beat at the sound of Ethan's voice. She giggled shyly, and propped herself up on the kitchen counter. "I figured. I'm guessing you got my message about this weekend? I'd ask you to come over tonight but you might be tired. But you could sleep in the guest room if you wanted." She suggested, a hot blush appearing on her cheeks.

[Spritz]

Ethan raised a hand, running it through his honey blonde hair and turning his lucid eyes to glance at the wall clock. It was only a quarter to six, he had enough time to stop by... If she wanted him to. Kori started to speak, and the young man couldn't help but let a small smile touch his lips. Shaking his head, he parted his lips to speak, but waited until she was done speaking. Her words were questioning, and he could feel the tension between them, almost like static on the phone line. "No, no. I'm not tired- And I wouldn't mind seeing you again either." He gave a broad smile, though the gesture was useless over the phone. "I would love to stop by, but you're always welcome over here too."

[Sammi]

Kori smiled and looked down at her dog who was staring up at her on the mitchen floor. He barked at her, and his tail wagged softly, as if he had heard Ethan. She nodded quietly, a few seconds later she was talking again. "Well, I could go to yourr house tonight, since right now my place isn't quite peepared for further human contact," she giggled lightheartedly. "I'll be over in a few, what's your address?" She grabbed a pen and pressed it to the skin on her hand, writing it down as he said it.

"See you in a bit, bye." she hung up the phone when he was done, and she let put a shrill amd excited scream, giggling like a school girl. She ran upstairs to her room, shuffling through the drawers until she found some clothes she liked, and she slid on a frilly blue tanktop that matched her eyes, and a pair of short black shorts, with black converse on her feet. She ran anbrush through her hair before she left, and she drove away and down the street, she knew where Ethans apartment was, she used to live there until about three months ago.

She arrived at his house within minutes and she walked up the stairs and to his front door. She hesitated for a moment and soon her hand lightly knocked three times.

[Spritz]

Ethan's stomach was in a knot, as he stood infront of the bathroom mirror. He was desperatly scrubbing at his cheeks, trying to remove the dark grease marks from work. Finally deciding that he had gotten all he could off of them, he flipped the washcloth into the dirty hamper and dried off his face, before running a comb through his honey blonde hair. Wearing his work clothes, he glanced at the clock. He figured she would be here within a few minutes, as the two didn't live all to far away from eachother. He quickly strode into his bedroom, stripping of his shirt and digging in his drawer for a new one. Suddenly, a gentle knock at the door made him stiffen, but he grabbed a white t-shirt and started over to the door. He opened it, still shrugging on the shirt and giving Kori a friendly smile. "Hey stranger."

[Sammi]

Kori smiled as the door opened and she waved at Ethan, her fingers shaking. "Hey there." She stepped inside when he invited her in and she looked around, and sat down on his sofa hesitantly. "Do you have any idea of what to do? Or are we just gonna sit here, all night?" she giggled at him.

[Spritz]

Ethan stepped to the side so Kori could enter his apartment, and once she was in, he closed the door. The living room was reletivley neat and clean, and the young woman slowly made her way over to the sofa and sat down on it, looking at Ethan hesitantly. When she asked what he wanted to do, Ethan raised an eyebrow. "There is nothing more awkward than sitting in another persons house and not knowing what to do." He slipped his phone into his pocket, before grabbing his keys from the smooth countertop. "Come on, let's do something fun."

[Sammi]

She stood, hesitantly pulling her booty shorts down, which was of no use, and she walked next to him, following him to his truck. She climbed into the passengers seat and rested her elbow on the arm rest. "Where are we going?" She cocked her head, a smile playing on her lips, her blue eyes twinkling as she looked at him.

(blah ;-

[Spritz]

(If you didn't notice, I replied on 'dont know what I'm searching for'. No rush though, just thought I would let you know.)

Ethan clambored into the drivers side of his truck, watching Kori open the door and join him in the vehicle. Her shorts rose high on her thighs, exposing her smooth, tanned skin that he had seen a few night before when they had gone swimming with the dolphins. He gave her a wink, before reaching for his seatbelt and quickly belting himself in. Though he was young, Ethan was still a safe driver and prefered staying out of life threatening accidents. Giving Kori one of his most devious smiles, he slipped the key into the ignition and started the truck, shrugging his shoulders like he didn't know. "You'll have to find out, but I think you'll have fun there."

(Same xD)

[Sammi]

(sorry ive been gone for a while , life decided to rear its ugly head . )

She smiled at him and crossed her legs as she stared at him, her eyes hard on his features. She fought back a smirk, which ruined her tough look, and she giggled, a blush popping up on her cheeks. "I better like it, or you're going to pay!" She laughed and made a fist, hitting his arm playfully.

[Spritz]

Ethan immedietly noted her blush, and wondered what he had done to cause it. Pushing the thought to the side, he decided to ponder upon that later. The young man let a hand run through his honey blonde hair, before he glanced into the rearview mirror and started backing out of the parking lot of his apartment.
"I would pay anyway, it's not right if the lady has to open her wallet." He said it with such dignity, that he forced himself to keep a straight face, until he couldn't hold it any longer. His lips parted into a grin, before he backed onto the road and started driving. Ethan's hands were draped across the steerling wheel, his eyes watching the traffic around him. "You'll see where were going. It only happens once a year, and in the summer."

(Aww, its ok.)

[Sammi]

Kori puckered her lips, setting a single index finger ontop of her cheek. She poked at her soft skin, thinking about what it could be. She sighed , dropping her hands down on her lap and rubbing her knees. Shd shrugged, "I'm done thinking," she smiled as she looked at him, "I guess you'll just have to surprise me," she laughed and punched at his arm playfully.

[Spritz]

"Ah," Ethan laughed, his smile genuine. "I'll drop you hints as we get closer." The drive was smooth, black pavement under the truck's tires. "It has... It has really, really good food." Turning slightly, he took his eyes off of the road to wink at her once, before glancing back through the wind sheild.

(Lost my muse)

[Sammi]

She pursed her lips , raising her hand next to her cheek and moving her index finger up and down against her soft cheek bone. She closed her eyes and thought for a second, and then looked back at Ethan. "Hmmmm..."

{ ;-; im so ... Eh }

[Spritz]

Even as Ethan turned a corner, the brilliant bright lights of the fair came into sight. Reaching far up into the sky, the ferris wheeled turned round and round, cars squished together in the parking lot and people milling around inside. Just as the sun started to sink below the horizon, Ethan gave Kori a kind smile and winked.
"The fair."

( x( Me too.)

[Sammi]

Her eyes widened, a smile lit up her face as her blue eyes flashed at Ethan's face. She squealed and then laughed, tossing her head back with a smile. "I haven't been here in forever." She smiled at him.
