Dorm #5:

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy gave a half-smile. "And I'm a girl, raised by an oblivious dad and a mom that doesn't get me as much as I would like, shoved into the world of rich and famous aristocrats and millionaires." She got up from the couch and over to the kitchen, watching him cook.

[Leena, Love yourself]

"So we should clash perfectly," he stated with a roguish grin, he took a spoonful of the liquid and carried it over to her so she could taste the sauce.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy smirked. "Exactly." she took the spoon from him carefully, and tasted a bit of it. "Oh my god. This is really good."

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Yeah?" Darius grunted with satisfaction and went back to dish them both out plates. He handed her one and settled himself on the couch beside her.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy sat cross-legged, and smelled the chicken. She took a few bites, and nodded, eating ravenously. Poppy spun the noodles on her fork, then ate it, and smiled. "Darius, this is awesome. Where'd you learn to cook this well?"

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Well if you're starved enough you learn to feed yourself," he shrugged and continued eating. He didn't say it for pity it was just a fact of life to him.

[ɯɐɔ]

Pop nodded. "True, so very true." She was scarfing down the noodles with the oh-so-yummy sauce.

((Haha sorry. I'm such a hypocrite >.< I myself was scarfing down Cadbury chocolate Creme Eggs.))

[Leena, Love yourself]

(Lol)

Darius set his plate on the coffee table and leaned back against the couch, his belly full. He turned on the tv and turned the channel to Swamp People.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy finished her plate as well, and stacked it on top of his. She settled back into the couch. "What show is this?"

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Swamp people? They kill alligators and sell them, it's a pretty good show," he pulled her across his lap so he could cuddle with her some.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy leaned her head against his chest. "Huh. Sounds...lively." She started fiddling with her hair band, tying it in knots and untying.

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Mmmm it's fun to listen to their accents," he said with a grin, his British accent a stark contrast with the southern boys on the tv show.

[ɯɐɔ]

"That's like...god, what's that one show...with the pageants? And....Toddlers & Tiaras!" Poppy laughed. "They always feature people from the South."

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius actually chuckled, "I like honey boo boo. 'More butter more boo' that chit cracks me up." He smiled down at her with a relaxed manner about him that hadn't been there before.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy grinned. She didn't know why, but suddenly leaned up and kissed him; Poppy hadn't felt this...happy in weeks.

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius kissed her bak, his hand found its way to the back of her head and got lost in hair quickly. He had always had a thing for hair, it was just how girls kept care of it, the silkiness of a females hair between his fingers.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy shifted so that she was now pushing him against the couch, straddling him.

[ɯɐɔ]

She deepened the kiss, her hand snaking around to the back of his neck.

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius groaned slightly with pleasure as she straddled him, he pulled her against his chest. Deepening the kiss, she smelled like sweet honey, and tasted just like it.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy smiled, and couldn't get enough of him. She kissed the base of his neck, kissing as she went up, all the way to his ear, where she whispered. "I think...I think I'm in love with you."

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius was enjoying her touches and kisses until she uttered those words. He pushed her off of him and stood up. "You what?" He asked loudly.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy looked at him with mixed astonishment and hurt. "You know you heard me," she said softly, trailing off. "Don't pretend like you didn't."

[ɯɐɔ]

(?)

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius softened somewhat when he realized he could truly hurt her depending on what he said. "How can that logically be possible? We barely know each other..." He ran a hand through his hair frustrated.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy relaxed against the couch again, closing her eyes and laughing slightly. "Exactly." Poppy said, "That's why I...I don't know. That's why I feel so weird. And confused. And--" She shook her head, opening her eyes. "And so helpless. I don't know why, so don't ask me."

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius listened and processed what she sai as best he could. "Well how about we not talk about it for now, okay?" He sat back down next to her.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy brushed a piece of her hair aside. "Okay," she said slowly, and absentmindedly played with her anklet. "So...now what, Darius?"

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius watched her small fingers play with some sort of jewelry on her ankle, "Hm? What?" He looked back up at her, he was easily distracted by her movements but didn't want to admit it.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy gave a sly smile. "What do you want to do now?" she repeated, noticing his mess up. She loved the way he looked at her; she liked it even better when he laughed. It was like he hadn't in a long time, but was still happy enough to.

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius shrugged in a lazy, laid back motion, like a panther very relaxed. "You don't want to know what I want now." His eyes lingered on her lips. "We could watch a movie of your choice?" He suggested.

[ɯɐɔ]

"If you have it," she said with a grin. "You sure you don't want to do the thing you want? I'm game for anything, although watching The Breakfast Club sounds pretty tempting."

((I love all of the John Huges/Molly Ringwald movies! TBC describes them, too. xD))

[Leena, Love yourself]

(Me too!!!)

Darius grinned ear to ear, "I knew I liked you for a reason. Of course I have that movie." He stood up and disappeared down the hall to his room, when he reappeared he had the movie in hand along with pillows and blankets. "Movie time." He announced and put the movie in. While he waited for it to start up he tossed the pillows and blankets at her and went to the Kitchen to pop popcorn.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy curled up in a blanket, after plopping it to the floor and sitting on it. She leaned against a pillow that she set down, and put another down next to her. "Mmm...is that popcorn?"

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius poured the got kernels into a bowl and padded barefoot back into the living room. He sat down on the floor and joined her, he say the bowl between them. "Yes it is, dig in shortcake." He pushed play on the remote.

[ɯɐɔ]

Pop grabbed a handful and popped the popcorn in her mouth. (xD) She smiled. "Yuumph," she said through a mouthful of popcorn, watching the familiar intro. "Who's your favorite?"

[ɯɐɔ]

(Merp. Where are you, Leena, dahling?)

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Molly ringwald, yours?" He asked her and looked toward the television as the movie really started to get going.

[ɯɐɔ]

"Same," Pop says, laughing. "She's awesome."


((gtg sorry! Be back in an hour!))

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Yes she is, you kind of remind me of her..." Darius commented, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pressed her against his side in a very intimate way. He wasn't sure what he was doing, he knew he shouldn't get any closer to this chick. If he did he would feel more for her than he already did, and that was dangerous. Nothing ever worked out for Darius and he didn't dare hope something good would finally happen to him.

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy raised an eyebrow, grinning. "Really?" She said, blushing slightly and buying her lip when he pulled her closer. "I like to think of myself as Ferris Bueller, but, shit. That's a different movie, anyway." Pop brushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear, half watching the movie, and half watching Darius.

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Another good movie, good for you Pop. I'm truly impressed, have you see Sixteen Candles?" He asked her, Darius was entranced by her movements, his eyes never left her as he spoke, the movie forgotten for that moment.

[ɯɐɔ]

"I have," Poppy said smoothly, glancing up at him, "and Pretty in Pink." She smiled a little, remembering the scene from Sixteen Candles, when the boys told Molly Ringwald's character for her...

[Leena, Love yourself]

"What about Say Anything? Have you seen that one?" Darius asked, he was liking her more and more. He loved the older movies. He loved John Cusack in that movie, if he could be an 80's movie it would be that one.

[ɯɐɔ]

"I saw part of it," Poppy said slowly. "How about Oxford Blues? Clueless?" She smiled faintly, laughing to herself. "Look at you--bad boy, with a soft spot for 80's movies."

[Leena, Love yourself]

"Hey don't tell anyone, I have a reputation to uphold," He told her with a grin, he pinched her chin between his fingers, and the grin slowly faded from his face. Darius gazed into her eyes and leaned closer, until their lips touched. He couldn't explain what he felt when he kissed Poppy, all he knew was that he had never felt it before in his life. He moved his lips against hers, slowly, taking his time and savoring the taste of her lips on his.

[E L L E]

(Darius you're such a pansy BB's gonna bully you)

[Leena, Love yourself]

(LOL well one of them had to be a bit softer >.>)

[ɯɐɔ]

Poppy was taken a bit by surprise, but she softened, deepening the kiss. She could feel a slight blush on her face, and smiled a little. Her arm snaked around his neck again, and Pop leaned closer, smelling his distinct cologne and laundry detergent.

[ɯɐɔ]

(XD Lol)

[Leena, Love yourself]

Darius didn't pull back although every fiber of him was telling him to do so, his hand went to the back of her head as he kissed her. He practically pulled her into his lap and explored her mouth further, it was like he was drinking her in and couldn't get enough.
