What an Interesting Turn Out.

D

Dreamer-

Guest
It was early, before noon and the sun was up, shinning high in the sky. The weather was hot and slightly humid, making everything sticky and overheated. But, for Dreamer, it seemed like a pretty good day to move in with her brother... If she could even call him that. She hardly knew him, since their parents' divorce early in her childhood... She was only able to see him on 'special occations'. Still, she liked to think she had another person to reply on.

She was currently out in the parking lot of her brother's place, car in the drive-way and lugage right beside it. Dreamer calmly slinged her back pack over she shoulders' and went to the front door. Her eyes couldn't help but wander over every piece of the place, vaugely woundering what it would be like to step inside. What type of place her older brother lived in... Surely from the outside it seemed respectable. No kegs in the front yard, firecrackers or tipped over lawn chairs. But amuzment dose flash through her eyes at that certain memory of a party with some of her friends. But as she knocks on the door it dies quickly.

Dreamer was around 18 now, moderate hight, wearing normal comfy clothing. Her hair was a sleek black, but when hit by the light a certain way, turned golden-brown. It reached far down her back side as she tended to keep it down. And with its lenght she of course go it tangled quiet frequently. But she hardly cared what her hair looked like. Dreamer's eyes are a sharp electric-blue, seeming like shards of ice or sometimes soft... If you catch her in a pleasent mood. Her body is lean, slightly thin but with curves in all the right places. Stronger then she looks but more light on her feet then anything.

As she waited calmly at the doorstep, for her brother to answer, she fiddled with her purse's strap, finding the idea interesting that after all this time... She was actually going to see her brother, and get to know him. Wether it will turn out good or bad is the question, but she wasn't eager for an answer just yet. Lets first get past the formalitys.
 
Rafe slowly pried himself away from the computer in his room upstairs. He was wearing some black denim jeans and a loose plain white tee. Rafe carefully took the stairs, he was still new to this house, but he moved with a bit of practiced precision down them. Rafe hurried across the hardwood floor, sliding a bit on his socks as he reached the door. When he opened it, he got a real big surprise.

"Audrey!" His face immediately lit up and he stepped forward to hug her firmly to him. He was really excited to see her and looked like she had just made his whole month. He even lifted her up a bit. "I've been waiting to see you..." He smiled warmly at her, looking intently at her. Those eyes. Those heterochromia eyes. One a bright green, another a bright sky blue. He used to tell her that one saw the past and the other saw the future when she was little. His silvery blond hair was neck length and neatly kept. Both traits were genetic abnormalities, but they made him feel special and unique. He finally let her down and let go of her. It had been a while since they last saw each other and now they were going to get to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together. Audrey was someone special to him. Some mystery figure that he only got to see every once and a while, someone who looked up to him and someone he felt he needed to teach, guide, and keep safe. He led her inside and started to help her take her things inside. "So...I guess things didn't work out with mom?" It had been a messy and bitter divorce. Rafe had stuck with his dad, thinking he could help straighten him out some. He felt obligated to try and help his dad.

Rafe grinned a bit. "I was excited when you said you wanted to move in with me. I ummm...made some food for us to celebrate a bit. Jumbo pasta shells stuffed with Ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, and baby spinach. Topped with a marinara sauce with fried bell peppers and onions and Italian sausage. There's some garlic bread and some herb butter to spread on it. Put your things down, you can unpack later, let's eat for now." He raced to the kitchen to get them both some servings. "What do you want to drink?!" He called out as he started to get the food onto some plates. The home was small and quaint, but warm and cozy. It had nice little friendly touches to it. Just big enough for two to be comfortable.
 
Interesting thoughts were still raceing through Audrey's mind as she glanced around, but noises soon came to fill her ears. The sound of quiet thuds agenst hard word flooring, but the foot steps were muffled by the socks Rafe was wearing at the moment. The next thing Audrey knows is having the front door burst open, and someone picking her up off the ground. The only thing she was able to get out of her throat was a small and suprized yelp. Being bear hugged by her brother... Had not come to mind in the greetings.

But a small and soft smile appears on her lips, and also a bit of a laugh excapes her. "Hey Rafe, I missed you." She responds, also hugging him back tightly, enjoying getting to see him once more. Atleast her brother seemed well off... She really had no idea what had happened to him after moving out. She only got little bits of information here and there anyway. She follows him into the house, placeing her bag on the ground and ready to leave the other stuff out in the drive way. At the sight of the house her grin happens to widen... It was... Lovely. She didn't enjoy living in large gapping houses because it felt cold, less family like to her. Well.. Not that she had ever had a real put togeather family, but still. It was nice, and relaxeing. It was a place that she could get used to, with the holidays coming up, this would be special.

After taking acouple more steps into the family room, her eyes soon landed on the food that her brother had been talking about. Her eyes brighten and she grins, "That looks wounderful! Did you make that all?!" She asked, shooting him a questioning look. She didn't know her brother cooked... But it was a nice suprize. She calmly sat down to dinner and glanced over the food, nodding at his other question. "Yeah... You could say that. She want to be... Alone right now." Audrey responded, letting out a bit of a sigh, though her stomic growled in that instant also.
 
He nodded proudly as he came in with some soda for the both of them. "Yea, I've gotten into cooking even before I struck out on my own. I'm sorry to say I couldn't do a thing for dad, he's still his usual cheery self." Rafe sighed softly. In the end he regretted going with his dad. It was nothing but trouble for the both of them. He smiled a bit, not reflecting on the bad times. "I'm going to be gone a lot during the week, I'm working a full time job and on some nights I take a few classes at college. I'm going to be pulling in great money before I'm done. I can support us so you stay as long as you like Audrey."

He pulled a play before her and started to butter her a piece of garlic bread before doing the same for himself. He laughed lightly. "Do you still call yourself Dreamer?" He grinned playfully at her.
 
Audrey calmly listened to his words, but started to go after the food once they had both sat down. "I see... Thats fine. I dont mind, i'm a big girl. I can take care of myself while your away, so dont worry." She responded calmly, picking up her fork and pokeng at some of the noodles with the prongs. After she ate acouple bites he made his remark and her head snapped up, eyes flashing. "What? You cant give yourself a nickname... Thats just... being a doushe bag." She replyed, soon after letting out a laugh. "Excuse me for having the habit of stareing off into space." She said, mumbleing around the extra food in her mouth, no longer looking at him. Even as she continued to eat... She still felt the pang of hunger.
 
He laughed softly. "C'mon you used to call yourself that when you were like...thirteen. You were all moody and you just called yourself Dreamer. You got upset when someone called you Audrey, it was cute. Or at least now I think it was cute, at the time I thought it was just annoying." He smiled at her. "I'm...really glad you're here. I really want to get to know my little sister. I missed you a lot." His face had taken on a more somber and serious expression. He slowly started to eat. "We've got each other now, and you'll always have me."

He leaned over and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. Rafe was tall and lithe, slenderly built, but lightly muscled like an athlete. A career in computers didn't stop him from working out once and a while it seemed.
 
She arched an eyebrow, not knowing what else to say to that... And with fear of something sharp and unkind coming out, she settled for saying nothing. But at his other words it seems to call Audrey down as a small smile appear on her lips. "Your right. I've got you and you've got me." She replyed happly, seeming to agree with him on this. Though when he kissed her cheek a bit of a half-grin crossed her face, and a chuckle came from her mouth.

"Daw, your affection is showing again." She teased, sticking out her tounge playfully with a laugh. Then she went back to eatting her meal, though soon after awhile, her stomic was finally filling up. After she finished eatting a large sigh comes out of Audrey's mouth, and she leans back aganist her seat. "That was fantastic. Thanks Rafe. Should I start moving my stuff in?" She asked with a bit of a tilted head.
 
He nodded slowly. "Sure, I'll help you." He smiled warmly as he got up and slowly started to help her bring her things in. He brought them inside a small room that looked like a converted study. It had some bookshelves, a television, and a bed with plenty of pillows and blankets. "I hope this will be enough. I know its small, but its the only other room that can serve as a bedroom."
 
She shakes her head alittle, also going back to pick up her things and take then to the room he leg her to. She looked around, but smiled slightly. "Its fine, I like it." She replyed, glanceing twords him. She didn't need alot of space anyway. She would be content in the small room, and it wouldn't make her feel sqwished. So she goes to un zipping the sute cases, and starting to organize her room.
 
Rafe give her time to unpack her things since she was probably going to unpack her unmentionables and he wanted to give her the privacy. He cleaned up the leftovers and cleared the table, washing the dishes used. He smiled a bit as he thought of his dear sister and he headed upstairs to his room to use the computer a bit, waiting for her to finish.
 
After Rafe left Audrey shut the door behind him, now taking out her cloths and other belongings. She opened up the cabnits and used they for parts of her clothing and acouple of her other trinkets. At the desk she places her own laptop and Ipod along with earphones and acouple other things.

Soon, well... After about an hour she was finally done, looking around at the room. Fine with the turn out, she left her room and quickly looked around the place. It took alittle bit for her to finally find her brothers room, since she didn't know her way around. Soon she found him with his door open but knocked anyway, grinning. "Got everything put away!"
 
Rafe nearly jumped out of his chair as he was surprised and not used to people jumping in on him in his room like this. "H-hey...whoa. You really took me by surprise..." He looked at her and quickly exited the game he was playing. He didn't want her to see him playing an h-game and he closed out the window on it. "Well, since you're done packing, this house is your house. I'm going to be showering in a moment because I'm going to a party later tonight. Some of my co-workers are just going to be silly and have some drinks at someone's house."
 
At his words she simply nodded, not interested in what he was playing anyway. "Mkay. Thanks." She replyed with a small smile, then walks away from his room. So, she took his words to heart and started exploreing the place on her own. Finding out what was what, and what was where... It would make it alot easyer in the mean time to atleast know where the bathrooms and such were located.
 
The house was small and cozy. It had a closet upstairs and down, in which he kept various things, the vacuum, cleaning supplies, several board games, and some things that he probably wouldn't need everyday. Next to the front door there was a coat and hat rack and just next to the door, across a small banister, there was the living room with a dual couch set up, a black sleek coffee table with some gaming mags on it, and a forty-five inch flat screen. There was a small dining room near that and a kitchen with a number of amenities. The downstairs contained the study that was her room, access to the garage, and a full bathroom. The upstairs contained a half-bathroom with a toilet and sink, and Rafe's bedroom, as well as an extra room that was being used for light storage, contained some bookcases of books he had collected, and also had a few chairs.

Rafe bathed quickly and came out wearing his towel, slowly making his way up to his room to dress in something, anything, more appropriate than a towel.
 
After exploreing for alittle while, Audrey stopped infront of the TV. She soon sat down on the sofa and streached her limbs, trying to relaxe alittle. From the trip, it had caused a slight head ache, but with food and having some time to relaxe, it had mostly gone away. She glanced around the living room, noticing some of the games but didn't make a move for them. It seemed at if Rafe... Was doing very well for himself. Atleast he was fine, and not living in a dumster somewhere. It actually was quiet the oppisite. So, she leaned agenst the arm rest, rubbing the back of her neck while quietly switching on the TV.
 
Rafe noticed her watching TV as he passed by. He stopped and watched her for a long moment before he up to his room and changed into some house clothes. Just some blue sweatpants and a white tee. Then, without warning, he jumped on the couch, landing next to her after he left his room, grinning at her. "So what are you doing hmm? You going to college? I want to know everything about my sister..." He smiled warmly at her, his words sincere and gentle. He really loved her.
 
Dreamer couldn't help but let out a small yelp when her brother suddenly happened to land next to her. She almost jumped out of her skin. But after a moment, when she relaxed, she looks over to him with a small lopsided smile. "Thanks. Almost giving me a heart attack on the first day, very nice." Though at his other questions she tilts her head to the side, blinking slowly for a moment. "Yes... I just got out of highschool. I'm applieing for collages around the area right now, but I still have this summer period to relaxe before hand..." She muses with a small smile. "And other than working at the Art Supplize store and the Dog groomers, nothing is going on with me... Unless you mean socilization whys?" She remarks while chuckleing. "You know i've always been more of a hurmit anyway..."
 
"Well, have you considered joining any clubs at your soon to be college? They might work with you since you're a prospective student." He shrugged a bit. "Well, it's your life to live, I just worry about you not socializing enough..." He got up and walked behind the couch, ruffling her hair a bit. "I got a text while I was in the shower, they want me to come help set things up and pick up a few things, so I'm going to be gone the rest of the day. Don't wait up, I'll probably be back late or early in the morning..." He smiled and leaned down, kissing the top of her head before he went and moved upstairs to change into some clothes appropriate for the party.
 
Dreamer nods slightly to his words, but still lets out a small sigh. "I know... But i'll be fine. You dont have to worry so much." She responds, then watches as he stands up to go put on some better clothing for the party. "Have fun with that." She says, giveing a small smile and a wave of the hand. Then after he left for his room, she clicks off the TV and jumps off her feet. She then heads to the kitchen, just craveing a simple glass of water. After pooring some ice cold liquid into a glass, she sips it calmly on her way to her room.
 
Rafe had on a nice black pull over shirt and some khakis as he got his keys. "I'll see you later!" He bounded out the door after that.

It was somewhere around three in the morning when Rafe came back to the house. How he managed to drive home was anyone's guess, but he shouldn't have been driving. He stumbled out, totally blitzed, and he started to fish his keys out as he managed to the front door. Fumbling with the lock, he finally opened it and sighed in relief as he shut it behind him and locked as he had methodically done, dropping his keys inside the door.
 
It had been... Awhile. Wow, she thought to herself, he had stayed out so late. But she just let out a small sigh as she continued fixing up her room. She wanted to get it comfurtable, since she really had nothing else to do... But thats when she soon hears the door open and close. Audrey arches an eyebrow, stepping out of her room and makeing her way down to stairs. Her muscles her tence, thinking it was someone trying to break in. But all she sees is her brother. A sigh excapes Audrey's lungs, and she starts moving over to him, but slowly. "Hey Rafe.... You ok?" She asked, looking over him worriedly. He of course was drunk, but what worried her is how he had gotten home...
 
"What are you doing here...?" He looked at her, not recognizing her. The booze had made him forget about the whole day and he stared at her, smirking lazily. "Oh I see, heh...a surprise, hmm?" He stumbled towards her, wrapping his hands around her and giving her a hard kiss on the lips, his tongue invading her mouth.
 
A small frown appeared on her face, eyebrows knitting togeather. "Your drunk.... The first day I move in, and your drunk?" But after a moment, Audrey ends up sighing and rubbing the back of her neck. "No no, this is your house after all... Lets just get you to your room okay? Without passing out." She tells him, walking over to his side. But Rafe was faster, and suddenly she feels his arms around her in a tight hug, and she mumbles her suprize when he kissed her. Audrey's eyes widen a fraction as she places her hands on his chest and pushes him away, almost roughly. Audrey quickly takes acouple steps back, looking at him like he had gone crazy. "Rafe?! What the hell was that?!"
 
He chuckled and smirked at her, grabbing her arm firmly as he started towards the study. "C'mon, baby, be a good girl now...daddy's home and he wants his favorite dessert..." Despite his inebriated state, he was quite strong. "Just relax, you're going to love it..."
 
The thing that crossed her mind was... What the Fuck?! Was this really her brother? Was this actually Rafe? She tried asking herself these questions as she was pulled in the direction he wanted her to go. But when her mind snaps back into reality, she shakes her head and gives a sharp tug of her arm, now trying to get away from him. "Rafe?! Can you even hear me?!" She yelled at him, a frown on her face as he dragged her behind him.
