I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps.

Forget The Past.~ Ainslee&Kenrick.

[ainsleefromlowcountree-blog]

Ainslee looked at him, her stomach lurching as he took her hands and she followed him to the couch. She sat down next to him, looking at him as he cleared his throat. She listened to his words, watching as his head dropped. Was he really saying this? Or was he doing it because somebody told him how depressed she had been? She took in a deep breath and watched as his face came up.

She let a small smile play on her lips as she let her hand hold his and she nodded. “I want to be yours. You don’t even know how badly I do.” She then turned away and took a deep breath. “But why didn’t you call or stop by after the club?… I thought you wanted nothing to do with me. You kissed me and left…”

Kenrick sighed softly, annoyed at himself for not calling round after their night in the club. He knew that he had led her on, which really wasn't fair, and he regretted not coming round. But he had been so nervous about what she would say. "I don't know..I'm sorry, I mean, I hadn't kissed anyone let alone you since you had gone...And I was scared of your reaction. If I had known that you would have said yes, then I would have been round much sooner." He said softly, looking down into her eyes.  Leaning forward, he let his eyes flutter closed before he briefly connected their lips. The kiss in the club had been perfect, but this seemed much more peaceful and private, not that he had a problem with kissing Ainslee in public. His pulse began to quicken when he felt her kissing back, he hadn't kissed anyone else apart from Ainslee. Well...His first girlfriend at twelve didn't count.

Forget The Past.~ Ainslee&Kenrick.

[ainsleefromlowcountree-blog]

Ainslee sat on her couch, looking over every Halloween costume she had been. She had done the whole Elizabeth Bennet thing and the doctor thing. She needed something new for her to try out. But her thoughts kept racing back to her conversation with Will and how he suggested she coordinated costumes with Kenrick. “Please, he isn’t even going to ask,” she whispered to herself softly. She had given up on the idea of Kenrick ever asking for her to be with him.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a knock on the door. She climbed up off of her sofa and walked over to it, her sweatpants dragging along the floor. She opened it and saw Kenrick, a small smile appearing on her face before she made a conscious effort to wipe it away. She watched as he took a step closer and she bit her lower lip, moving away from the door. “Of course… Come in.” Kenrick entered his ex-finaceé's apartment, and shut the door behind him, kicking off his shoes as he did so. He gently grasped hold his Ainslee's hands, leading her over to the couch and sitting down quickly. He cleared his throat once more before speaking, all his emotions and feelings escaping in his words. "I want you back.." He whispered, his head dropping as he gazed into his lap, trying to gauge her reaction. He knew he was most likely pushing his luck by coming here and saying what he had said, but it was all true.  Finally gathering the courage to look up, Kenrick sat in silence, watching Ainslee's facial expression. He couldn't read them, which he didn't really know whether it was a good or bad thing, but he really hoped she would want to be with him again. His knee began to bounce, a habit he had when he was nervous.

Forget The Past.~ Ainslee&Kenrick.

Kenrick was sick of moping around, pining after Ainslee, so he had finally made a decision to attempt and get her back. He checked his appearance in the mirror, styling his hair the way he wanted before smoothing down his plaid shirt. He cleared his throat whilst squibbing on some cologne, wanting to look his best for the Scot.  Once he was pleased with how he looked, he left his apartment and padded over to Ainslee's apartment door. He stopped a few paces from the door and mentally went through what he was going to say.  Raising his hand, he knocked firmly twice, stepping back and waiting for an answer. Hearing incoming footsteps, Kenrick exhaled silently, his nerves beginning build and the door crept open slowly. His face lit up when Ainslee answered the door, her beautiful ginger hair flowing freely over her shoulders. "Hi..." He murmured softly, taking a slow step towards her, "Could I come in? Its important..." He admitted, swallowing the lump in his throat and waiting patiently for Ainslee to reply.

Halloween party, eh?

Heartbroken ~ Kenrick and Ainslee

Ainslee sat on the floor of her bedroom, going through all of the photos that she had brought with her of Kenrick. She sighed as she wiped a small tear from her eye as she grabbed the empty shoebox, quickly putting in the pictures. She would stop once in a while to look at the picture that her hands contained. Had she really been so blind as to see that he obviously didn’t want to be with her? After all, they hadn’t spoken since their night at the club. Was it his way of proving that he wasn’t interested in her?

She sighed as she looked down to the ring that positioned itself on her collarbone. The ring glistened in the light and she wiped another tear from her eye. She had never taken it off, never wanting to let go of what could have been a final good-bye. She ran her fingers along it, contemplating taking it off and deciding not to. She wouldn’t risk losing everything she had worked for by returning what he gave to her. Maybe if she kept it, he would realise that she truly did want to be with him.

She climbed up off of her floor, shuffling to the front door, the box in hand. She looked down at the ground as she opened the door, grabbing her key and walking out. She trudged down the hallway before coming to Kenrick’s door, knocking lightly on it. She sighed as she looked down to her feet, waiting for an answer.

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

Kenrick was scrolling through web results on his laptop, attempting to find a suitable job in the area. He planned staying here as long as Ainslee wanted to be here, and she was obviously still at school, so the time wouldn't exactly fly by. He swallowed the lump in his throat, which had formed at the mental mentioning of Ainslee. The tears were already welling in his eyes as he flicked back through all the memories they had made.  He was so head of heels in love with her, and that was why it hurt just to think about their memories back in Scotland. Clicking off the web browser, Kenrick closed the lid of his laptop, pushing it further onto the table. He sighed slightly, cradling his head in his hands and willing for the tears to stop. Since their night in the club, he had been having vivid dreams about their times back when they were together. Those times had been the highlight of his life so far, and he really, really missed her. Kenrick heard the firm knocks on his door, and wiped away the tears, hoping that his cheeks weren't too blotchy. He walked over to the door, peering quickly through the peep hole and opening it instantly when he realised who it was. "Hey..Do you want to come in, and talk?" He asked her, gently. He could tell that she had also been crying, which he hated to admit to himself. 

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

I'm really sorry for not being on, guys! School and other stuff has prevented me from being on as much as I used to. 

I'm here now though, so if anyone wants to roleplay? I'm totally up for it.

Night Out./ Kenrick&Ainslee.

[ainsleefromlowcountree-blog]

Ainslee took her drink from him and sipped it, placing it down to look at him. “I missed you. I still miss you. I miss the Kenrick that you were before I completely and utterly destroyed you.” She sighed softly before chuckling and nodding. “I kissed a person in a drunken stupor, but I honestly thought that she was you. I was that rat-arsed.”

She looked over at him and nodded as she looked down at her feet. “Alright. I think I can manage with that. But promise me that we will end up getting married. That I’ll never have to live without you again. Because I don’t think I could live without you again.” She let her eyes close as his lips pressed onto her forehead, a scarlett shade forming on her face.

She watched him take a drink of his beer and went willingly into his arms as he pulled her there. She inhaled, smelling his usual cologne and smiling at the scent. He would always smell like that as they cuddled in bed. Not once had their cuddling ever been more. Just a slumber in each others’ company, and she missed it.

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

Kenrick could feel a blush rising on his cheeks, and attempted to push it away, but obviously failing miserably. Ainslee had an effect on him, which he had never found in anyone else...Apart from his mum. "Ahh, well, you're forgiven then." He chuckled, downing the last few sips of his beer before placing the glass on the bar.  He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of the Scottish girl's head, the strong fruity scent of her shampoo filling his nostrils.  "When you get bored...We could go to my apartment? Watch a movie or something, I have plenty of water and tablets for the morning.."Kenrick suggested, capturing his bottom lip between his teeth once more. It was now a habit, not one that he was that proud of..It made him look feminine.

Night Out./ Kenrick&Ainslee.

[ainsleefromlowcountree-blog]

Ainslee took her shot before nodding, looking down. “Yeah. I told you that you weren’t the reason I left. I meant it, too.” She looked over to him and smiled a small smile as she climbed off of the stool. “Well, I’m glad to know that the feeling is mutual.” She smiled and then looked down, sighing softly. She looked over to him, mortified that she had told him something like that. It was obvious that he didn’t want to marry her anytime soon. She had nearly killed him. How could he just take her back?

She looked over to him and nodded as she said, “A margarita?” She looked back down to her feet before leaning her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. “Why did you kiss me and then let it get so awkward afterwards? It never was unusual for us to kiss occasionally when we were out on a date.”

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

Kenrick passed her the second drink of the evening, making sure it was safe in her hands before pulling back. He heard her question and looked down at his feet, swallowing slightly. "I don't know. I mean, I've missed you.." He choked, willing himself that he didn't stutter on his words and make a fool of himself. "I haven't kissed anyone for goodness knows how long." He said, accompanying his words with a soft nod.  Grasping the pint glass of beer from the bar, he took a few sips, not sure what else to say. He had made things more awkward than before. "Look, I was thinking...Maybe, if you want to, we could take things slow? I want to marry you, I do. But I think we need to slow things down a bit? It will benefit it us, I know it will..." Kenrick suggested softly, pressing a gentle kiss to Ainslee's forehead. He took another sip of his beer and then put it on the side of the bar, pulling Ainslee into his arms. He inhaled her sweet and oh so familiar scent, and remembered when they used to curl up in bed together after a date. He missed that, and sleep hadn't been something he'd been getting when she left.

Night Out./ Kenrick&Ainslee.

Ainslee smiled as she heard his voice, loving the sound of his words. She couldn’t help but melt whenever she was with him. Her hand held tightly onto his, her fingers interlacing with his. She laid her head on his shoulder as she looked around the city. New York was different at night than in the day. In the day, it was crowded with tourist. But at night, it seemed like she and Kenrick were the only two people in the entire city.

The redhead stopped as they got to the club, nodding as she looked at him. “I’m ready to go anywhere with you.” She smiled and followed him in, watching the people in the club dancing and drinking. The occasional few would be trying to choke each other with their tongues, but that was America. She followed him to the bar, sitting on the stool as she looked at him. Her blush appeared as he called her his lady, chewing her lower lip. “Some whiskey would be great.” She smiled before looking at him, her teeth moving from the exterior of her lip to the interior.

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

Kenrick turned to the person behind their bar and shouted across their order. Once the barista had sent a nod in his direction, he turned back to Ainslee, catching her gaze instantly. Her eyes were beautiful, he had thought that. He grabbed their drinks once they were slid across to him, shuffling towards the ginger girl subtly. "Here." He spoke, passing the drink over with a nervous smile on his lips. This was when they kissed in the movies, when the girl leant over to claim their drink, the men made their move. And that's exactly what he did.  As soon as their lips connected, his eyes were already fluttering closed. No words or sounds leaving either of their mouths, they were both pretty surprised that Kenrick had had the courage to kiss her like that. He only pulled back once air was a necessity, but still his eyes were glued to hers. Feeling her lips upon his once more,  reminded him of back in Scotland when he had been able to kiss her whenever he liked. Although he wasn't that lucky anymore, unfortunately. "Here's your drink." He mumbled, the small glass still safe in his large hands. And not a single drop had split during the kiss.

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

Kenrick was extremely proud of his self for actually gathering the courage to lean in and kiss her. Moistening his dry throat with the drink in his hand, the liquid almost flew out again hearing Ainslee's words. But luckily for him, he controlled himself and swallowed the drink before allowing his jaw to drop. "Er, seriously?" He said under his breath, his reaction of course showed how shocked and surprised he was at her words. "You know what? I've never stopped wanting to marry you...it's always been a huge ambition of mine. Make you, my darling wife." He admitted, knocking back the rest of the shot and placing the small glass back on the side of the bar.

Shifting from one foot to the other, Kenrick tried to make the conversation less awkward by asking if she wanted another drink. He took the order she wanted, it was something different this time which he was glad about. Shots really weren't his forte as he usually choked in the process of swallowing.

Hey Roomie :)

Hey there, I'm Kenrick!

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

I'm sick of having my own room.

I'm alone all the time.

Night Out./ Kenrick&Ainslee.

[ainsleefromlowcountree-blog]

Ainslee stood in front of her floor-length mirror, chewing her lip as she looked at her blue lace dress that hung to her. She looked down to the shoes, white suede pumps. She was extremely nervous to be going out with Kenrick. She knew that he wanted her back, and she was trying to reassure him that she wanted to be with him. She wanted to be with him more than she wanted anything. She sighed and grabbed her white clutch and a ponytail holder and pulled her hair into a bun. She then walked out of her room and into the living room.

She heard a knock on the door and practically sprinted to answer it, smiling as soon as she saw Kenrick. “Hiya, love.” He looked smashing, as always. He had always managed to make her swoon by the way he dressed. It was something that she figured came naturally to him. She watched as his hand reached out to hers and she smiled, chewing her lower lip softly as she took it. She walked out of her apartment and closed the door, locking it behind her. “Are you ready?”

[kenrick-mccurdy-blog]

As soon as Kenrick heard Ainslee's voice, a bright smile spread onto his lips. "I'm so ready." He replied, accompanying his words with a gentle nod. Her outfit choice was perfect, as usual. He walked along side her, their hands swinging soundly in between their figures; everything was perfect. Surprisingly, it was pretty quiet for New York City, but he wasn't going to complain as sometimes quiet was good. The sound of traffic was still audible, but that could never be helped. Kenrick released an excited breath before turning to Ainslee, "You ready to go in?" He asked her, the atmosphere was buzzing and he couldn't be happier. Once she had approved his words, he led her inside the building, positioning them beside the bar. "What can I get you, m'lady?" He laughed, noticing how she was chewing on her lip almost instantly. It was freaking adorable.

Night Out./ Kenrick&Ainslee.

Kenrick checked his appearance for what seemed like the fifth time before he grabbed his wallet and phone, slipping them both into the back pocket of his jeans. Ainslee and himself had organised a night out in the local club and he was beginning to get pretty nervous. The last time they had been left alone together, without anyone there that they knew had been back in England before she had decided to leave. He was wishing that things were going to happen, but he knew that in reality, it was never going to happen. Ainslee had obviously left for a reason, but he still had to figure out what the reason was.  He swallowed the lump which had formed in his throat and made his way across to Ainslee's apartment, knocking firmly on the door. "Hey." Kenrick smiled, his eyes subtly checking out his ex-fianceé's appearance, she looked gorgeous, which wasn't a first but it had been a long while since he had seen her dressed up like this. "Ready to go?" He spoke, his tone soft and welcoming, he was trying to make sure that she would realise that he wanted her back. He held out his hand, knowing that she would take it without hesitation, since he had moved here they had become very close, extremely close.
