Taking a Walk (Anna and Michael)

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru snorted, "That's what you think," she said, though she knew for a fact that if he really wanted to he could do serious damage to them both. She leaned back against a tree and looked down at them.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

"Cheater." Annabelle giggled, trying hard not to react to such a simple kiss. She was well aware that she wouldn't be a match for him if he threw on his charm or threatened to tickle her again. She flashed Dru an apologetic look. "I don't think I'd be much help up against Michael."

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru smiled, they're really good together, she thought. "That's fine, I can hold my own, just stay out of the way," she said, a laugh threatening to escape as she imagined it.

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

Michael's grin widened, "That's not cheating, it's playing to my strengths." He turned his eyes towards Dru, he knew she would give up a fight, "Yeah, still think I would win," he said, still smiling.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

"But you'd play nice if I asked you to right?" Annabelle pretended to pout, blinking wide eyes at him. She had seen in his eyes that he wasn't immune to her, and wanted a bit of the fun too. She was trying hard not to ignore her friend, but Michael had a way with capturing her attention that Dru couldn’t compete with.

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

Michael looked down at her, trying not to smile, "Perhaps, or maybe I'll just let you try to figure out how to bend me to your will." At the last words his smile broke through. "You'll learn," he said softly. The more they were together the more she'd know about him. Thoughts of their next date started running through his mind.

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru watched them, but began to feel as though she were intruding. "I think I'll let you two get back to your fun," she said, pushing herself away from the tree.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

Annabelle blushed sllightly as the implication of Dru's words hit her. "Alright, I'll see you later?" she asked, wanting to make sure that everything was still okay between them.

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru smiled, "Of course, bye guys," she said, turning and walking away, thinking about heading to the school.

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

"Bye, Dru." Michael watched her go and then kissed Anna softly, he had been wanting to for the past few minutes, but didn't want to do very much with Dru there. "You know I'm going to have to go soon too, right?" He had some thinking to do in the common room.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

Annabelle pulled him into another kiss, deeper than the one that he'd just placed upon her before replying. "Not to feed your dragon right?"

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

Michael smiled and leaned his forehead against hers, "No, just have some stuff to do." His mind told his legs to push him up and leave, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He brought a hand around her neck and ran it through her hair.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

Annabelle sighed, enjoying the feeling of his hands. She knew they should probably go, before they got carried away again. "Will you walk me back to the castle?" She asked, not wanting to part before they had to.

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

Michael smiled, "Of course." He had never really walked someone he loved somewhere, had always just kind of left them when he had to go. He stood and pulled her up with him, holding her close and smiling down at her. "Have you enjoyed yourself?" he asked, his arms tight around her waist.

[Annabelle Hennessy]

"Of course I did." Annabelle smiled back at him warmly. "Very much." She didn't have to return the question, she could see his answer written on his face. The attention he'd given her since they met was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. She stood on her tiptoes to kiss him lightly once more before linking hands with him and heading back toward the castle.
