You might be the only one.

[jovialgambler]

Nope, I know for a fact that others have asked about you. That's nonsense.

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

I think part of the reason I’m here is because of my strive to see you again. 

[jovialgambler]

Oh is that so Princess? Well, I must say that I would be very upset if something happened to you.

[strangerhaven-deactivated201411]

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

Yeah, I was atrocious. I honestly thought I wasn’t going to make it out alive. I’m lucky.

[jovialgambler]

Well I'm glad that you did. I don't think I'd be the same without you.

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

I’m doing fine, I just got over sickness. 

[jovialgambler]

ah is that why they wouldn't let me see you? Come here Princess, give me a hug.

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

Rose smiled at Gio as they walked back toward the carnival. The voice inside of her that had seemed to dislike the events of the evening was lost, making the night perfect. Rose bit her lip as she watched Gio, not sure what to tell him. She still felt bad for making him feel as though he did something wrong back in the clearing.

“Hey Gio,” she said timidly, “I really did have a lovely time.”

[jovialgambler]

He kept his stride with hers, trying to not get too far ahead of her, nor fall behind. He was silent for the most part, unsure of what to say. Perhaps he'd been a fool to kiss her. It wouldn't be the first time that he had allowed his feelings to get in the way of properly handling a situation. Though, he felt Rose was different, someone that wouldn't judge him or feel sorry for him because of his past.

And maybe, just maybe he liked her more than he was willing to admit to himself.

When she spoke though, his head turned to her and he nodded his head. "I'm glad. I did as well," and stopping in front of her door, he found himself frowning a bit. Ah, the night was ending. "You were lovely company." Leaning in, he decided against kissing her again, but just placed a very light peck to her cheek. "Have a good evening Rose."

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

It’s quiet around here.

[jovialgambler]

I know dollface. Too quiet eh? How are you doing?

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

Rose smiled, “I suppose you’re right, I wouldn’t last here in the woods would I?” Sighing she knew that she’d have to get up. Rose didn’t want this moment to end, ever. Everything was so nice and quiet up here with Gio and he really did seem to care about her. That’s all Rose had ever really wanted, was someone who cared about her. As she thought about it her stomach seemed to turn; she’d had that back at home before she left.

Quickly tossing that thought out she sighed and stood up. “I suppose I’m ready to return to my glamorous life,” she said, sarcasm clinging to her voice. It’s not that Rose didn’t love the circus, because she did, but sometimes she felt she needed more. None of that mattered though since she’d never leave as long as her sister was still there.

[jovialgambler]

"I think anything's possible if you put your mind to it," he laughed and hugged her a moment, trying to keep her close for just a bit longer. He had that closeness once too, but that was a long time ago and it was just simply time to try and move forward. When she stood up, he was caught off balance and he cleared his throat. "Yes, of course," standing himself he offered his arm and started walking with her. "As you wish." He cleared his throat, looking at the ground as he led her back down the hill.

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

Seems I’ve been replaced.

[jovialgambler]

Never, how could anyone replace you Shiloh?

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

“Well I’m on your arm aren’t I?” Rose asked coyly. Even though she had already kissed him she still felt she had the power to tease him. That was one thing that Rose loved about being a girl, being able to act a little risky and have it seem cute.

“That is if you’ll take me out again,” she said, “I’ve been quite a pain.”

[jovialgambler]

Gio blushed a bit and then ran his fingers through her hair. "That you are Miss Rose and I have to say I'm quite happy that you are." He didn't mind it really, he could hold her all darn night if she let him. But he knew that wasn't possible.

"You haven't been a pain at all. And I most certainly wouldn't mind kissing you again sometime. Hopefully in the near future." He smiled and then looked out at the moon. "I'd stay out here all night if I could, but I have to get you back sometime."

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

Rose was confused when Gio told her she could slap him and then she felt his lips. Instead of pulling away this time she moved toward him. When Gio broke the kiss she didn’t want to slap him, far from it actually. Rose moved her body closer to Gio, feeling as though only his warmth could fuel her. 

“Gio I…” Rose started to protest again. Clamping her mouth shut tightly she decided against it and laid her head on him. “Gio tonight was fun,” she sighed. Rose didn’t know what else to do besides lay on Gio for a while. She couldn’t even sort out her own feelings at the moment and Gio felt so nice. 

[jovialgambler]

His arm wrapped around her as he looked down at her slight protest, giving a smile when she stopped herself. "I'm glad you liked it Rose. Does this mean if I asked you to accompany me again you would?"

Gio figured it was the right time to ask, he didn't in any way want her thinking he'd kissed her solely for the reason of doing it just that night. No, Gio felt a connection with Rose, albeit it was small but he wanted to pursue it, if she'd let him of course.

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

“It was my fault,” Rose said twirling a bit of hair between two fingers. “I did…” Rose couldn’t bring herself to finish that sentence. She really had wanted to kiss Gio but she shouldn’t have. That was the problem, Rose was always concerned with what she should and shouldn’t do and she shouldn’t have allowed herself to act so unladylike. 

“Gio it wasn’t you, it was me. I… I should learn to behave myself better,” she said apologetically. She didn’t mean to make Gio feel bad and she couldn’t forgive herself for doing it. He had been nothing but nice to her and she had repaid him by being trouble and hurting his feelings. “It’s my fault. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.”

[jovialgambler]

Gio shook his head at her. "Rose, stop." He sighed and looked at her as she explained herself. "You didn't hurt my feelings -" He took a deep breath. "You're going to have to forgive me for this and you can slap me if you want after, I'll take it. I don't care."

And with that, he placed his hand on the back of her head and pulled her in for a proper kiss, gently suckling on her bottom lip before pulling back, his eyes fixed on her. "I've been wanting to do that since we were sitting on the bench."

[jovialgambler]

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

Rose felt Gio’s lips on hers and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of him. Rose didn’t want to but she finally pulled away, taking a deep breath before opening her eyes. Feeling a hotness rise to her cheeks she looked away from Gio so he wouldn’t  notice her blushing. 

“I’m sorry Gio,” she said, quiet once more. Even though she liked the kiss she felt ashamed. She hadn’t exactly acted like a lady in the past few minutes, forgetting all of her manners. Back home she would have never done anything like this, she was always a good child. But that was it, she couldn’t help herself, she was still just a child. “I… I didn’t mean to…” She said, her voice barely audible. 

[jovialgambler]

See, now Gio really did think he had done something wrong. That was what she wanted right? Not that he hadn't wanted to as well, because he did. Perhaps he had misread the signals. Shifting his weight a bit, he dropped those chocolate brown eyes down to the ground, using his one hand to play with his pant leg for the time being.

"What're you apologizing for Rose? You didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry for doing it. I just thought you -" worrying his bottom lip he sighed. "I mean, I should have asked your permission before doing it."

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

I love you Gio.

[jovialgambler]

I love you too Princess.

[greysonquinn-deactivated2012122]

I would prefer it. I have nightmares frequently, and I think we both agree it would save multiple late night walks to your room. 

[jovialgambler]

Yes, that it would, and those walks are dangerous. You can stay in my room regardless however long you'd like. Maybe I'll have Aisling see about getting some of that calming tea she once received.

Candy Apple High | Rose and Gio

[gadget--hackwrench-deactivated2]

“Well I wouldn’t be a lady anymore,” she muttered. Rose had completely relaxed for one of the first few times since she had left the comfort of her home. Somehow Gio had managed to make her feel more safe than she had for a while. She closed her eyes for a moment and smiled. That was when she felt it, Gio’s lips a lot closer to hers than the last time. 

Rose could feel the corner of his lips on hers for a very brief second and then it was gone. Her heart was beating quickly and before she could stop herself she was in action. In a sort of haze she reached up and delicately pulled his face toward hers, staring into his eyes. Moving her face closer to his she looked up at him expectantly. 

[jovialgambler]

"You'll always be a lady Rose, no matter if you live in the woods or not," he commented, keeping his voice down he smiled at her. Gio was the protector of the circus so to speak, at least to the females. But he didn't mind doing it, it seemed to give him a purpose.

At first he thought he had done something wrong with how quickly she moved. It didn't take long for him to register exactly what was going on and his heart picked up just a little bit while he moved his face down closer to hers. Rose did in fact have beautiful eyes. Taking one short breath, he closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to hers very softly, allowing them to linger there for just a moment.
