"fifteen..." Alexis murmured under her breathe. She memorized the curves of the circular track in the gym. Her eyes were closed as her feet carried her around the track. With her right hand she pulled the water bottle up to her lips and took a swig before returning to her routine jog. She had been getting more and more fit due to jogging. The simple exercise always kept her mind empty. Music was good at some degree, but not at a time lie this.. it would get too much emotion out and right now Alexis just wanted to be normal.
All Lexi needed to do was take time off of not eating properly or sleepless nights and endless thoughts of him... and put it towards the aimless jog. It was good for her body and mind. Sex wasn't working, but she wasn't having any of it. There had been several times like leaving the club with that guy... but when she got to the car she drove off without him stepping in.. she wasn't planning on drink while high or drunk, but that was how much she didn't want to sleep with him. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't get herself to move on. The only person she would want to sleep with was Gabriel. Alexis... a one man girl? And they say a tiger doesn't change it's stripes.
And you say..why doesn't she go back with him? Well, it is the fact he probably doesn't have the same luck. Knowing Gabriel he has ten girl's lined up... making room for everyone of them in his heart she loves so much to share.
Okay, now her jogging had been corrupted by him. THE ONE THING SHE COULD FIND PEACE IN HAD BEEN RUINED BY HIM! She truly didn't know how he had this power over her.
"And sixteen..." she said stopping her her exercise. Now she needed something else that involved over working her body and that takes more focus.
She picked up a tennis racket and ball. Now it was time to hit the ball back and forth with the wall.
"one...two....three...four..."
There you go... no more mind crippling thoughts of him.

Gabriel leaned against the fence briefly staring in through to the other side taking appreciation for how it must feel. It seemed normal for once. To be unafraid of the future past or present and be utterly complacent with things felt good, a weight off of ones shoulders. Thats how it started, then becoming an adult, coming into your own. It began to become more of a weight, caring about everything past and present.
Hands cocked at angles as he distributed his weight against the fence watching Alexis work off what ever steam she'd been mustering. It was always such an easy feat to read her and yet something always kept him coming back. Always perplexed at the sudden attraction he felt on all levels.
"The wall begin to bleed yet?"
Gabriel chuckled lightly through watching her aggressive state. A calm aura about him so sure of his fate and future whereas so many others had been lost.

Hearing the sudden voice made Alexis jump a little... and throw the tennis racket at the wall when she swung at the ball. She turned quickly with a blushing face as she looked to see who it was.
Gabriel.
So much for doing all this shit to keep her mind off of him... here he is! Not like her plan was working, but this wasn't helping in the least. She smiled, even though she was angry at herself... why was she angry at herself? She was putting herself through absolute hell that's why! Gabriel still hung around her as she thought endlessly on him... Why did she even break up with him? Who was she kidding... she didn't think Gabriel would do anything with another girl. Yeah he did that thing with Reira... but in his defense they weren't going out... Well... it sure seemed like it, but the cold hard truth was they were just friends at the time and it was nothing but pure jealousy that made her fall into a deep depression.
"Not yet no... I've been trying... the bitch deserves it..."
She huffed a little taking in some breath from over working herself. She left her equipment laying around as she approached the fence that Gabriel had been behind. Alexis pulled the elastic from her hair, letting her raven coloured hair cascade over her shoulders. With that same elastic she tied the back of her tank top so it would sit above her hip, letting the refreshing air cool her stomach.
"So, where have you been? Preparing for your little party?" yeah she saw the fliers and she was planning on going... Though at the same time it seemed like a bad idea...

Gabriel presented a cool smile, there were many things that simply shot through his head of course the obvious male reaction would be saying"DAYUUUUMMM.." But of course being the more reposed spirit of person there was a hesitant moment of restraint that would instantly dignify himself before her focusing his eyes towards hers. Which was an easy compromise noting those beautiful hues with a bit of envy and thinking bad upon himself for ever letting this woman get away from his grasp.
"Something like that, a bit empty handed on staff, seems theres never enough time to get in what I want."
A soft chuckle of remorse remembering that every statement from Gabriel's lips was generally one of duel intentions meaning two very separate yet very similar things. A trait he'd learned all too well from "Unfettered".
"I was actually quite curious, I'm in need of a date to accompany me and... The first girl on my mind was you."
A smooth smile set in place face stoic as he resisted the warm patches growing from the corners of his cheeks.

She smiled at his statement... finding a relation to them... but not due to lack of staff.. but for some reason it had something to do with him... though she was sure he had meant what he meant as he carried on.
"I was actually quite curious, I'm in need of a date to accompany me and... The first girl on my mind was you."
And that was enough to make Alexis blush. She wasn't too certain if he was literally asking her or if he was just bringing up the fact he thought of her... 'cause who knows... he could be just saying that and knows he shouldn't ask something like that cause they were "over". But it sounded more like an invitation... which... could have made Alexis' year... She wanted to go to the ball, but her main fear was seeing Gabriel there with the beautiful Kev on his arm while she came with no one.
A beautiful smile spread across her soft lips as her eyes glowed with happiness. It was mostly due to the fact he just admitted to having her on his mind. Here she thought he would be out with some list of girls while she pondered on how their relationship could have survived if she wasn't an idiot and dumped him.
"How do you know I don't have a date already?"
The thing is.. she probably could... but she wouldn't. The smile still on her face, she nudged his bicep with the palm of her hand, "But I don't so you don't have to worry 'bout that... soo... If you wanted me to go I will be glad too..." the hand that nudge him would remain on his bicep, sliding down and cupping his hand... though she looked down and realized what she was doing was inappropriate and her arm retorted back. Clearing her throat she smiled nervously.. "sorry 'bout that.."

A smooth chuckle rolling in his throat by all her actions. The slow uncertain movements, yet each of them initially holding what he'd once known of her always in beats. Sureness in herself when called for but always second guessing herself at the last minute making herself probably feel a bit foolish inside. However it was one of Gabriel's favorite things to see that uncertainty yet a still held confidence that flourished beneath the surface. She was far stronger than he'd ever been in this life. A harsh lifestyle he couldn't have imagined and yet she'd come out like this, changed entirely into something beautiful by all means.
"It'd be my pleasure to have you at my side." Gabriel said fluently with a bit of French accent laced in his words.
Gabriel smiled his hand arching with teh confidence she began with and now following through to hold her hands gently. Of course he wasn't going to be aware of anything else but this moment and that of which he was accordingly planning out. There was still a world to change and while he may have not been able to see it to the end he would see it to a certain means. Where one fire died another roared reaping with it the stolen oxygen to fuel it's timber and that was the power of the future.
"Then I'll be expecting you I take it?" Gabriel raised a brow chiming his grin to that of an angle revealing but a row of glimmering pearls in its place.

Here eyes followed his hands, the very hands that just held onto her own.
"Then I'll be expecting you I take it?"
Her eyes still hung onto those hands as her ears gripped onto his words. She lifted her hands, moving them so she was cradling his two fists together. She brought them up and to her lips as she pressed a gentle kiss to his hands.
"I would love to be with you..."
And in more ways than one. She inched forward, only to be stopped by the gate... She was touching him... close to him.. but the gate prevented her from actually being with him...
She wanted to say "fuck the gate!!!"
And of course she was just blaming the fence on her own problems. Her stupid decision was the real fence here... she could just easily walk around the blasted thing and be with him. Its not that easy with what she had chosen to do in the past.
Now instead she had to stare at those hands she held dearly to...those hands that she wanted over her body like they once had been... like how those lips of his had been.
She knew this wasn't a healthy way of thinking about your ex boyfriend. But she supposed she was allowed to have these thoughts when she didn't want him to be an ex... she needed to keep herself sane by breaking up with him... though in the end it sure as hell felt like she was committing herself. Now she just kissed his hand again, her thumbs massaging the back of his hands. She thought he would understand what she was going through.

A small satisfied grin on his face presuming what would indeed be coming over the next horizon. Planning, always planning in the mind of a forward thinker, and to think his end would restrain those thoughts. No rather he was anticipating the future of things to come. The Future, it was to be a bright place.
"There's also something I'd like to talk to you about...."
Gabriel said still with a curious grin, the kinds of which would cause worry in most about those thoughts that went through his head, because quite honestly it was scary.
"Though it needs for this fence to get out of the equation."
Gabriel would lean over the short barrier grabbing Alexis from a manageable position and granted she wouldn't squirm he'd pick her up much like a doll before holding her for a second with a curious grin and then setting her down though on his side.
"So..." Gabriel smiled treating her much like an equal, more so than he'd treated anyone else.

"There's also something I'd like to talk to you about...."
"Anything you want..."
Well.. not everything..like if he were to talk about marrying Kevala or something she would probably flip shit. Then he lifted her up so easily. She smiled faintly as he held her for a moment as they just stared at each other. Now that she was down on the ground she looked up at him. She didn't have the slightest clue of what he was going ask. What was to ask an ex girlfriend?
Maybe he was going to ask for her to take him back... she would have liked that... if he fought for her....not letting her go so easily this time. That got her hopes up slightly as she stepped in closer to him; her green eyes set to observe every beautiful detail of his face.
"So..."
The smile remained on her eager expression; hanging on ever word he spoke.
"I'm all ears, babe..."
Babe; she used to say it to just about anyone... she still does... but for Gabriel it was always different.

A small nervous nod, of course knowing Gabriel there was something to be said about that. Nervous wasn't exactly something in his itinerary of set skills rather this was something outside of his control and perhaps for that very reason it left him with a sense of anticipation, worry, and to an extent fear. But trust and love were stronger advocates to his end game something that he'd idealize as hope and good will. Something he would trust her with more than anyone else.
"I need you to trust me, this next part isn't exactly going to be pretty for one thing and it'd put me at ease if I knew you weren't off doing something that'd put yourself in danger."
Of course his concerned parts were more showy here and now focused upon her imploring her not to do something stupid when all this was his fault, that he was stupid for just not being able to give up on his dreams. Perhaps thats all they could be, just dreams. A smooth nod as he recalled that thought.
"I'm going to be dying very soon," A small pause granting her a reaction though his hand swould bear close forbidding a retreat or possibly a fleeting assault on his person.
"But you shouldn't be concerned I'll only be "dead" for a little while, I'll be leaving here to finish up somethings..."
A small nervous stare implying that something else had been on his mind, but rather in was the thought of some tactful vendetta. No it was the age old desire, to change all that they'd known and make it a point to effect their future.
"But when I do come back you're the only thing I want to come back to, none of this fighting, no more gangs, just me and you okay?"

What he said of course alarmed her. Why? Because when Gabriel said this it always meant something bad...really bad was going to happen. It also meant he wasn't going to ask to have her back.
"I'm going to be dying very soon,"
A shrill of terror struck her heart and her knees felt weak. Did he have a disease? She was about to cry, but at the moment she was in too much shock. Her eyes fell to the ground and her eyes started to water.
But then he confirmed he wasn't actually dying... yep, she was a little pissed at that. He made it seem like he was dying and it made her nearly die herself...Thanks for scaring her... Though her eyes remained moist as she looked up at him. She didn't want him to leave.
"But when I do come back you're the only thing I want to come back to, none of this fighting, no more gangs, just me and you okay?"
She smiled despite the pain she felt for his future absence. "How long will you be gone?" she leaned in on him as her arms wrapped around his waste. Her cheek against his chest... "It kills me to see you and not have you as mine...but it might be worse knowing you're not mine...and no where to be seen." she waited for any word...
"But I will wait...I will wait 'til you return... I won't tell anyone you're alive if that's what you were asking of me? I will only do it because I love you... Because I think this is a stupid idea."

A firm grin set in place feeling foolishly stupid at his own words prior. There were quite a few things to be done and this above all was most important to him, because when it came to a future he often neglected his own to benefit those of others. Such a silly, silly boy. A mock chuckle in his throat holding her close to his chest feeling that resembling warmth she emanated around him. Something the fire of his Qi could never give him, comfort. A hand wrenched out cupping beneath her chin to lift a face to his eye line.
"You know I'm always going to be yours..." He smiled placing a soft and very brief kiss against her lips.
Gabriel recoiled slowly with a cautious extent not willing to break the embrace with his arms now laced around her hips keeping the small but very special girl close to him.
"And yes, it is very stupid." He smiled finally being able to admit his own flaws.

She let his hand direct her face so they were now staring at each other. A soft smile would come to her face after she heard his words. When he leaned in, her smile disappeared into a serious expression. Alexis' eyes closed as she felt his lips against hers delicately. It only pulled her back to the time they were both together. She wanted it back, but now it was too late... now she had to wait to have him back. Now in only a few seconds that felt like an eternity, Gabriel pulled away from the kiss. Alexis' head still hung in it's place as her eyes kept closed and her lips remained hungry.
"And yes, it is very stupid."
Her eyes broke open as she realized he wasn't going to keep up the kiss. "Oh well.... since when have you done something smart? Except... agreeing to come back to my car with me....
Yeah she was asking him what you are thinking..... She couldn't get with a guy since their break up...well..she could..but she didn't want to...now she heard the news of him needing to leave... she wanted a goodbye...Least you could expect Alexis of doing this..
She would clasp her hands in with his and would start walking backwards towards the parking lot. She would stop walking if he refused and God she hoped he wouldn't refuse this... But until then.. she would head towards her green punch buggy.

"Oh well.... since when have you done something smart? Except... agreeing to come back to my car with me...."
The curious cock of a brow on his features and a suitable smile for the situation as Gabriel followed the alluring tug of his once perfect match, they were still a perfect match in every sense something that the word "break up" could never touch. Good he couldn't take that very seriously anyway, hence his inability to follow through with hooking up either. Seems as though they were damaged goods but it seemed a good thing that opposite sexes had matching parts that formed a great union.
The sudden pull towards the buggy was met when Gabriel's frame was eventually tugged into hers, his larger build enveloping hers as he'd pick her up from her thighs and press his way between her pinning her smaller body between him and the car. A rough smile lighting his face at the sudden increase of heat despite the fact that it was quite a cold day out.
"Can you feel the pressure."
He'd say with an all too alluring wink.

He seemed a lot more reluctant to start something with her than she had expected. She was pushed against the car and lifted from the ground. Ok...she was enjoying this too much. Gabriel seemed so perfect for her. At this moment she was wishing he thought the same... and she was hoping he was just doing this to get an easy lay.
"Can you feel the pressure."
She almost melted seeing his wink. Gawd he was so damn hot it hurt!
"Never with you." she whispered. It was a lie. She always felt pressure being with him. Whether there was a double meaning to that or not... she always felt the pressure. She would tilt her head up so she would be able to reach his lips. Gently she would kiss him, but barely even touching him. It would hopefully be enough to make him want more and just dive right him... it sure as hell was having that effect on her.
Her hand would search for the door handle for the back seat. Not exactly a romantic place... but Alexis had worse and she wasn't ready to pull another romantic gesture out of her ass like the first time the slept with each other. That embarrassed her soooo much. She would open the door...then hope Gabriel would follow through and climb in with her underneath >.>
