Love... Drunk? (Gavin)

[nicoleryder]

Nicole was maybe a bit too excited to see Gavin this evening. She missed that hunk of an American mutt! After her last visit with him, she really felt terrible. Nicole really wasn't a bitch all the time. She wanted to make it up to him... Hopefully in more ways that one. She had been craving another go with him. She had way too much fun the last time, and she loved a guy who could keep up with her. She especially loved his reactions. Nicole was a teaser, she couldn't help herself! It wasn't just how he handled himself in bed that kept her around, he was too cute. She had to admit it he was adorable. If she wasn't looking for a relationship, his smile and accent would have melted her like a Catholic school girl. She kept those feelings locked behind tight doors, though. Nicole was a friends with benefits girl. She preferred living a bit on the wild side, and a boyfriend was just too much. She felt tied down. But since Gavin was looking for the same type of relationship, fuck buddies, she kept coming back.

So she decided to surprise him. She was wearing a clingy black pencil skirt that showed off her ass with a white cami on top and a lacy, loose-fitting, neon yellow shirt over that. The shirt hung just below her belly button on her cami, It was see-through, so her camisole could be seen accentuating her curves. (Think THIS but shorter sleeved and shorter in the waist.) Her skirt might have been a little too short, but that was the point. She curled her hair for once, seeing as it wouldn't hurt to add some style.

She found the Jack Kit and walked in easily. Even though this seemed to be a Therian bar, this Blurr fit in perfectly. She waved to a few friends that happened to be there as well but she bee-lined to the bar. She sat on a stool where Gavin was heading and crossed her arms on the bar. She smiled at him and beckoned, "Hey, Captain," her usual greeting for the guy. Hopefully he was still her Captain America. She noticed his smile was maybe a bit too bright... but rolled with it. If he was happy this made her job a whole lot easier. Hopefully he wasn't taken for night.

[GAVIN BROOKS]

Gavin, for all intents and purposes, was the same old Gavin behind the bar. He smiled a lot, poured drinks with gusto and threw a wink here and there. It wasn't real flirting anymore, more like part of his job description. The cuter he was, the more he made. He needed to start saving more money, though. He had a ring to buy! Plus he needed to go get a new wardrobe if he was going to go back to the office. He had a lot of his clothes still, but he'd want to look good for Abby. She would probably enjoy seeing him dressed nicely as opposed to jeans and t-shirts. Maybe a polo shirt or something. Gavin thought maybe her dad would like him better if he dressed handsomely. That thought made him think maybe he should get a haircut if he was going to meet her family soon so it could grow in a little and not have that "I just got my haircut to impress you" look to it.

"Hey, Captain,"

The familiar voice pulled him from his little reverie and he looked over at a very attractive, friendly face. "Hey!" He called, making his way over to Nicole, more than glad to see her. He couldn't wait to tell her he found someone! As he got closer he got a better look at what she was wearing. She looked, well, amazing! A part of him got turned on and excited, knowing what was under those sexy clothes of hers. He gulped, trying not to think about it. How would he tell her he found true love when she was dressed so provocatively and making his hormones kick into overdrive?

He gulped as his smile faltered for a second and then he tried to recover by grinning again. "What can I get for yah, beautiful?" He asked, wondering if maybe he shouldn't tell her. He had such a strong urge to invite her home, but that would screw everything up with Abby! He had to be a good boy now or he'd lose the greatest thing in the world to ever happen to him! "Er...Nicole.." He corrected, wondering if maybe calling her beautiful was inappropriate now.

[nicoleryder]

She could tell he was excited to see her. Nicole caught his eyes wandering and her smile turned a little sly, almost sultry. She'd give him the works tonight, see how well he could keep away from her. She made it a game, maybe she could get him breaking his facade on the job and steal a kiss... or a quickie in the back. It wouldn't be hard to do, but he would be. Watching him walk over to her, she straightened up allowing her chest to be more visible under the lace. Nicole saw that smile falter. Although confused, her expression stayed bright and curious. Maybe her outfit surprised him so much? She let it blow over as he sweet talked her, "What can I get for yah, beautiful?" She was about to answer with her little provocative, witty answer of her own, before he stopped her with a... correction? "Er... Nicole..."

Her head cocked to the side, showing her confusion, her lips in a slight pout. She answered, "Uh..." a sweet smile now crossing her face to replace her confusion, "I'll have a Long Island." Her hand just barely grazed his in a seductive manner as she ordered. Her gaze locked with his then for a second, showing him in that moment what she came here for. Her lust flaring in that slight touch of his hand and that small glance. She broke her spell with her next comment, "Hurry up, we need to catch up!"

When he left to prepare her drink her brows furrowed together. 'Er... Nicole'? What was that! Did she do something wrong... was he actually pissed about the other night? No.. he said beautiful first. He was fixing a mistake, he was holding back. But why? What for? Nicole was burning to know. She hoped she could snap him out of whatever he was thinking. What was he saving? So many questions flowed through her mind, but mostly she was worried. He was acting weird. Maybe he didn't feel well.

Nicole knew just what he needed. She sat up straight once more, forcing her expression back to flirty before the man came back. She just had to get him in bed.

[GAVIN BROOKS]

"I'll have a Long Island." Her hand touched his and for a second he grinned, that old familiar spark there before it extinguished and he nervously pulled away, his smile becoming more embarrassed than anything else. "Hurry up, we need to catch up!" Gavin gave a nodded, his smile again genuine.

How would he tell her? At first he'd been excited, but there was that familiar stirring in his gut. Nicole was a friend, but she was also a girl he liked to take to bed. And who wouldn't want to take her to bed? She was a dream, and she was an awesome lay. Then again, so was Abby. There was magic between them.. it was something he couldn't describe. He wouldn't ever need to fuck anyone else as long as he had her around. She was just...incredible! He mixed the drink, making it extra strong for her, more as a peace offering than anything else.

When he came back she was sitting straight up, that hungry look in her eyes and Gavin would be lying if he said he didn't want to take her in the back room and have his way with her, but it was unacceptable. A gentleman didn't fuck women at the bar! And he was a gentleman now.

"There yah go." He said. Fortunately the bar was pretty dead, so he folded his arms and leaned on the bar, looking at Nicole's face so he wouldn't be tempted by her sexy outfit. God, what a weird feeling! Wanting to screw someone and knowing he couldn't and not being angry about it. Disappointed, of course, but not angry like he used to be.

"So... how've you been? You look good. Really good.." He gulped and found his eyes wandering but he forbade them to and in an instant he was looking at her drink instead. "Uhmm.. Okay, I'm just gonna get the on out there because... otherwise I'm going to explode. I met someone." He breathed, looking up into her eyes. "I think I'm...no...no, I'm in love. No other explanation. She's just...a dream, Nicole." He looked her over. Nicole was a dream, too. Just in a different way. "I think I'm going to propose.."

[nicoleryder]

"Uhmm.. Okay, I'm just gonna get the on out there because... otherwise I'm going to explode. I met someone."

At first Nicole wasn't surprised. He met a lot of people, he was a bartender for Christ's sake. And of course he meant met a girl. That disappointed her a little due to the fact that she wanted him for the night. Damn. Well she didn't really have a choice, he wasn't hers after all. But what still confused her was his gaze. He was clearly forcing himself not to look at her body. Like it would go against his religion to do so. Which was quite the polar opposite. He didn't have girlfriends, he had girls he fucked. So if he was seeing a different girl tonight, he could still look at Nicole. The hell was up with this boy!?

She thought all of this as he stuttered and tried to spit out his words. Her jaw fell wide open with the word "love." That was not in his dictionary! Unless it was making love! She was... outraged. He was a damn good fuck! How could he just decide he was up and going to fall in love. What did it take? A couple days? The last time she saw him he was ready to jump in bed with two girls. Who was she supposed to fuck now? Bastian? Brett? Both were not as well fitting as Gavin was. He suited her well, was just right in every bedroom way. How could he have changed his mind so fast... What kind of girl did he meet? She had to be stunning. Fuck. She had to be absolutely perfect!

Nicole's mood dropped suddenly. She was... hurt. It was pretty selfish of her to feel this way. But... she wasn't the one to make Gavin fall weak at the knees. She didn't give him the desire to never fuck another chick again, except her. It was a hit to the ego. Or was it? Did she actually have feelings, other than sexual, for the guy? She didn't have time to ponder that. She forced a smile on her face and tried to look as happy for him as possible. But it was impossible when the next line hit her. "I think I'm going to propose.." That was like a punch to the gut. The wind was completely knocked out of her. She couldn't keep the shock off her face. She inhaled sharply and grabbed her drink. With a burning gulp she managed to knock back almost half of the mixture. "Gavin, how long have you known this chick?"

Something was wrong here. This wasn't Gavin, was it? This wasn't the boyish, naughty guy she brought home was it? He was acting so... grown up. Trying to keep his urges down. Attempting to resist her charm. He really did love this girl... "Are you feeling alright?" Nicole wasn't. She had the urge to vomit. She ripped her eyes away from his, unable to meet that intense gaze of his any longer. She swallowed thickly, unbelieving and totally shocked.

She missed the old Gavin already.

[GAVIN BROOKS]

"Gavin, how long have you known this chick?" This was the part that made him blush. He might be high on his love for Abby, but even in this state he knew things had progressed far too rapidly. But he was in love! He'd never felt this way for anyone before in his entire life!

"Hang on.." He said, running to the back. In a minute he was back and walking around the bar, grabbing Nicole's hand and dragging her to a booth. "Kit's giving me a fifteener." he explained as she asked "Are you feeling alright?"

Was he feeling alright? Yes. He was feeling more than alright. Hew was feeling amazing! "I've never felt better." He said with a genuine smile, though he was being a little bashful. "We only just met..the other night..." He gulped, tensing before he caught the judgmental glance he was expecting from her. "But you don't understand!" He insisted, gripping the edge of the table and leaning forward, pleading with his chocolate brown orbs. "I..." He shook his head and shrugged, "I've never felt this way before...and I've been engaged!" Gavin licked his lips and sighed, leaning back.

"Dude, she just... I don't even know. One minute we were flirting here at the bar, then we were just going home for some casual play time and out of fucking nowhere it just hits me like a ton of bricks. I got this weird feeling in my stomach and I just...I just saw my entire future flash before my eyes. I can't even explain it, it's like...I want to stop everything for her. I want to pull the moon down and wrap it in a box for her! I wan't to quit here so I can get a nine to five and I wanted to KILL myself when I had a nine to five, but I want to do this for her. I don't even know why! It's not even logical how much I'm in love with her. I just melt when I see her, and yes, I'm fully aware of how completely ridiculous and idiotic I sound right now." He was so caught up in Abby he couldn't see straight, and things just weren't making sense.

"She turned my entire world upside down with her vagina!"

[nicoleryder]

Her shock and hurt feelings had died down on the way over to the booth, opening up room for disbelief and a bit of anger. She did give him that judgmental glare, but it was mostly directed to herself. Again, why didn't she have the goods to make his mind do a complete 180? She sighed, and took another sip of the drink she brought with her. "I've never felt this way before...and I've been engaged!" She should be happy for the man, but her expression didn't change. He let him babble on about her, explain how he became so infatuated with her. He didn't say she did a specific thing... The feeling came out of thin air? Just by being around her. Wow. She had to had some major influence to pull that one. She didn't stick Gavin to be a sucker for just any girl.

She almost gagged when he started going on about the things he wanted to do.

"I want to pull the moon down and wrap it in a box for her! I wan't to quit here so I can get a nine to five and I wanted to KILL myself when I had a nine to five, but I want to do this for her. I don't even know why! It's not even logical how much I'm in love with her. I just melt when I see her, and yes, I'm fully aware of how completely ridiculous and idiotic I sound right now."

She was about to add her two cents when he busted in with this remark, "She turned my entire world upside down with her vagina!" Nicole choked on the drink she was attempting to swallow down. Her laughter was explosive. She was being taken over by her contagious and addicting laughs. She couldn't stop. She was hysterical half because that was so damn hilarious and part because he was insane! Or was she insane. She felt insane as she grabbed her abdomen and leaned back against the booth. "Ga... Captain!" she corrected, just because he was spoken for doesn't mean he wasn't her Captain America, "I'm happy for you." She said between fits of giggles. Nicole always had a hard time containing her laughter. Was she really happy? Well if you can't beat 'em... join 'em. She managed her best smile, whether or not he could tell it was faked she didn't know, and spoke again, "What's her name?"

Maybe she knew that bitch and could see for herself what kind of spark she had. She held back her anger, only allowing it to flare in her mind. She didn't want to lose Gavin, being friends was better than nothing. So she'd be happy... for him. Even though deep down inside, she was not. Nicole was, more than anything,.... sad?

[GAVIN BROOKS]

"Ga... Captain! I'm happy for you."

He was glad he'd made her laugh. She had an infectious laugh which only made him laugh, too. "Thanks." He said grinning like a complete idiot, glad he had his friends blessing. He couldn't believe how much sitting with Nicole made him miss Abby, though. Even going to the bathroom made him miss her! Every time he shut his eyes he could see her in his mind, though. She was so perfect...and beautiful...and smart... He sighed. "Abby." He said, his voice sounding dreamy and a little distant as he said it. Hearts practically poured from his eyeballs.

"Isn't that a nice name?" He asked, still looking like a fool with that silly ass grin. "Abigail James.. Abby... Abby Brooks.." He didn't think twice before he said it. Now that he had Nicole's blessing it was almost like permission to go ahead and be head over heals stupid in love with the other girl and show it openly.

"I think I'm going to propose.." He offered, turning slightly bashful again as he eyed Nicole up to see her reaction. "I know I just met her, but.. I mean, I can't just let her get away!" There was panic in his eyes as he said it, as if the very thought of her rejecting him would quite literally kill him.

"Maybe... maybe you could become her friend and help me find out what she likes!" He suggested, thinking it sounded like an incredible idea! "Oh! And guess who her best friend is!" He gushed sounding like a school girl now. "You know that flaming black guy that comes in here all the time and flirts with all the bartenders? Well, his names Lafayette, and they're best friends. I don't think I like him, though. He touches her too much... she needs a girlfriend like you!"

[ABIGAIL JAMES]

Abby just couldn't take it anymore. She hated being away from her Gavin! She knew he was just at work and that he had to do it because Kit wouldn't give him another night off, but still! It was just too much to be away from him for so long. She hopped in her Honda Civic and made her way over to the Jack Kit. Gavin would be happy to see her and she could just watch him be sexy at work. Nothing would make her happier right now. She just wanted to see him, know he was okay and, well, not flirting with any other girls! Of course she should have known better, but she wasn't thinking with the rational Abby brain; she was thinking with her paranoid, bitches better stay off my boyfriend because I will die without him brain.

As she pulled up, she made sure her hair was perfectly curled and fluffed just right with a windswept sort of look. She had on a cute white lacy dress that came down to two inches above her knee and was strapless. It was a pretty dress and she hoped she looked pretty in it. She was so excited she would be back with her boyfriend in a couple minutes! With a little lip gloss spread on her lips, she headed into the bar, locking her car behind her.

When she headed in, her eyes scanned the bar. The man was neither Kit nor Gavin, but some other guy that Abby couldn't remember seeing when she came here the first time. Where was Gavin? A little panic set in her heart as her eyes scanned the crowd. Finally she spotted him and gave a heavy sigh of relief as she made her way over to the table. He was sitting with a girl, but Abby hardly noticed her; all she could see was Gavin. When she finally caught his gaze, she smiled wide and scurried toward him. It was her Gavin!

"Hi baby!" she chirped, throwing her arms around his neck when she got to him. "Oh, I missed you!" She gave him a series of pecks, standing on tiptoe in her two inch pale pink heels. Her eyes were fixated on him until she snuggled into his chest, her big brown eyes falling on the girl at the table. She smiled, and pulled away from Gavin, but left one arm wrapped around his back. "I'm so sorry, I interrupted you two!" she said with a genuinely apologetic smile. Her eyes looked up to Gavin as she asked, "Who's your friend, baby?" Part of her was anxious to hear her introduced as his girlfriend so there was no confusion here: Gavin belonged to Abby, plain and simple.

[nicoleryder]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Nicole was... overwhelmed to put it simply. She couldn't listen to him anymore! It was... outrageous. He had done a full flip. She hoped she nodded and smiled at all the right parts of his little spiel of love. It made Nicole sick. She had actually thrown up a little in her mouth already. She downed almost the rest of her drink, hoping that would make an impact on her brain soon. Married? He was going to marry her? What happened to this boy! Her mamma's boy was now... Abby's boy? A shudder ran through her, clearly disturbed at the image of him in a tux at the end of an aisle. It didn't fit. It wasn't right. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. That's all Nicole could think about.

"She needs a girlfriend like you!"

Click. Nicole started laughing again. She had so much trouble with her laughter that her forehead pressed to the table in front of her. Her eyes started tearing she was cracking up so hard! Nicole was slightly hysterical. It was a good thing she was letting her emotions out in laughter. Who knows what she could have done? She didn't have time between her laughter and the sudden high-pitched voice that sprung her head up. Gavin wasn't sitting in front of her, but hugging some woman who seemed to be gushing over him. Nicole just blinked, unsure of what to do. They were both smitten for each other... It was clear Abby acted in exactly the same way Gavin did. Weird. Nicole was slightly creeped out.

"Who's your friend, baby?"

Nicole cleared her throat, she could introduce herself dammit! "I'm Nicole. Ca- Gavin's friend." She caught herself before using her little name for Gav. That would be bad for him... She internally sighed, but externally gave her best smile. Nicole could be sweet when she needed to. She then stood, speaking again quickly, "I assume you're Abby? Gavin's told me so much about you!" She almost squealed, trying to make Gavin look good. Which of course that's what he was doing... but girls liked to be reassured that their guys aren't playing any tricks. But by the look of it, Abby was so completely engulfed in him she didn't even notice Nicole's provocative clothing. Which reminded her... she'd have to find some other guy now. Who on earth could replace Gavin?

[GAVIN BROOKS]

Before Nicole even had a chance to answer him, someone was sliding their arms around him and it only took a moment for him to know exactly who it was. He felt like he was home instantly as he snuggled into his girlfriends embrace. "Oh, I missed you!" He melted. He whimpered gently as she pecked him and made sure that their lips found one another as he kissed her hard and deep. "I missed you!" he insisted, hugging her back and snuggling more into her, pressing her body against his. He loved this woman so, so much!

"I'm so sorry, I interrupted you two!" He smiled, infatuated with her. "You didn't." He sighed, obviously smitten. "Who's your friend, baby?" "Friend?" He looked at Nicole, almost having completely forgotten her. "Friend! Oh!"

"I'm Nicole. Ca- Gavin's friend." He grinned at her and then back at Abby, almost beaming at her. "I assume you're Abby? Gavin's told me so much about you!"

He was glad the girls seemed to be getting along so well already! He could ask for nothing more! Maybe Nicole would be her friend. The thought excited him. "I was just telling Nicole about our plans to get married." He gushed in a very un-Gavin like way. He kissed her again, eyes really only for her. "She's happy for us, and wants to get to know you better." He insisted, looking to Nicole as if she had already agreed to this absurd arrangement.

"What're you doing here?" He asked turning back to Abby now. "Not that I'm complaining about you being here. God I missed you... " He sighed as he kissed her once more, love struck. "I couldn't stop thinking about you. Were you thinking about me?" He probed like a lost puppy, all wide eyed and pathetic.

If he could only see himself, he'd probably commit suicide.

[ABIGAIL JAMES]

It seemed Gavin had completely forgotten the woman sitting at the table when Abby walked up. That was okay. It just meant he was so wrapped up in her! He was just so cute. "I'm Nicole. Ca--Gavin's friend." Abby didn't even notice the slip. Gavin's friend. She wanted to meet all of his friends! "I assume you're Abby? Gavin's told me so much about you!" Abby beamed, nodding when Nicole recognized who she was. She'd heard so much about Abby! Gavin had been talking about her, obviously good things from the way Nicole squealed. "Aww, really?! That's so sweet! It's nice to meet you Nicole!" she gushed. She was as peppy as a cheerleader on crack. She was so happy she could bust! She snuggled more into Gavin, keeping her arms securely around his sexy body. He was all hers.

"I was just telling Nicole about our plans to get married." She grinned from ear to ear as he kissed her, so excited he was telling his friends about wanting to marry her. That meant it was official! "She's happy for us, and wants to get to know you better." Abby laughed a little bashfully, looking back at Nicole. "Well, I wouldn't mind getting to know you either, Nicole. Any friend of Gavin's is a friend of mine," she insisted in a kind voice. She didn't seem bad at all! Sure, she was dressed a little provocatively, but that must have been for the other guys in the bar. If Gavin was her friend, she wouldn't be trying to sleep with him. Either way, there was no way she was getting her mans; she had him on lock.

"What're you doing here? Not that I'm complaining about you being here. God I missed you..." He kissed her again and she giggled, loving that he was so excited to see her, he couldn't even let her answer his questions. Everything about him was just so stinking cute! "I couldn't stop thinking about you. Were you thinking about me?" She beamed, running a hand through his short buzzed hair. It was so soft, like a baby's. "Yeah, that's why I came! I just couldn't stand being away from you any longer! So, I thought you wouldn't mind if I stopped by for a little bit," she replied. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him again, giggling against his lips. Her heart was fluttering and she felt so giddy and light-headed. It was the best feeling in the world.

When she pulled away, she glanced at Nicole and blushed. "Oh, jeez, we're probably making you so uncomfortable," she fretted, laughing and covering her face with her hand for a moment. "I just can't help myself when I'm around him." Her big brown eyes looked back up at him, smiling. She would forever be mortified when she remembered this moment later. Could she be any more disgustingly cliche?

[nicoleryder]

"and wants to get to know you better." What? Hellllll no! She could barely hold that smile on her face as Abby gushed about how "any friend of Gavin's is a friend of mine." Bleh. Nicole wanted to shoot her self. For many reasons. She couldn't befriend Abby. For one, she doubted they'd be seperate enough for Nicole to actually get to know her. Two, if they were, all she would talk about was Gavin. It was clear just how infatuated they are with each other. And three, she even if she had the opportunity to get to know her, she wouldn't want to. She wouldn't want to know how Gavin became so... in love. So grotesquely in love. She didn't want to meet the person who could change a person like Gavin so easily. It was scary to think about. It was sad to think about. Good thing she didn't have time to think about any of this for too long. The conversation in front of her had her wide eyed and staring.

Nicole looked as if some guy on bath salts was devouring another kids face. She was horrified. If she had more alcohol in her she'd puke right then and there. It was a good thing they were so engulfed in each other. They would think she was insane, or mental. She couldn't believe how.. cliche they could be. It was like watching a bad Disney movie. She thought they would start making out right then and there. She wasn't even paying attention to what they were saying. Their words just sounded overly-sweet. Too lovey-dovey. Who was this guy? She didn't even know the man in front of her, all touchy-feely and mushy.They were so gushy and oh god... Nicole actually threw up in her mouth a little right then. It was a good thing because as Abby addressed her, Nicole was finishing off her drink to get the taste out of her mouth. She swallowed and shook her head kindly. "Nah it's ok. I was just leaving anyways..." She said hesitantly glancing up at Gavin and then to Abby. Yep she was leaving this cootie fest. "See ya around, Gavs. You too, Abby." Nicole handed him the money for the drink before beginning to turn.

She hoped this would all be erased from her mind. Immediately.

[GAVIN BROOKS]

He was so pleased when she admitted she missed him too, and that was the reason for her visit. She was amazing! Hoe had they clicked so perfectly? How had he been so lucky to find such a perfect match? The very thought made him want to sing.

Better still Nicole and Abby seemed to actually be getting along. He looked between the girls, completely missing that Nicole's face was one of disgust, not pleasure. Surely she was happy for him! She'd said so!

"Oh, jeez, we're probably making you so uncomfortable," Gavin looked at Nicole to see if they were. It was hard to tell. She looked a little shell shocked but it was probably because she wasn't used to seeing Gavin this way. Gavin wasn't even used to seeing Gavin this way, but he was so deep under Abby's spell he hardly notices. "I just can't help myself when I'm around him." His gaze met hers and he beamed back, snuggling closer. How could he let her go again and get back to work? Maybe he should just quit now.

"Nah it's ok. I was just leaving anyways... See ya around, Gavs. You too, Abby." Nicole put the money for her drink down and he watched her a little sadly. She was leaving? So soon? A couple of days ago he would insist she stayed and made sure everything was okay, but he was too preoccupied with the woman in his lap to notice anything was really truly wrong there.

"See yah Nicole." He called after her before turning back and nuzzling Abby once more. "I missed the way you even smelled." He sighed against her.

It was so wonderful to be in love!
