Target Practice

Riley smiled at her as she offered her hand for hi. He took a step forward and took hold of it with his. '"Ok then. I know what you mean, not personally but i have a friend who s like that too but then again he is in that sort of group." He said with a laugh. Ryan had always had a way to et kicked out of anywhere, he was just too touchy sometime and with his stupidly amazing fighting skills he knew he would win before doing it so he never hesitated. He wondered if he tell her that Adele was his Fiancé or if he should just wait until later on. "Technically if drinks are on me then we should go to mine." He said with a chuckle. He didn't know if Cyndi would be home but if she was then Riley cold just say that nothing was going to happen.

(Ok then Good night :) )
 
Allayah lent against Riley as she yawned. Even after her little anger stint there, she was still really tired, She had hoped the drinks would wake her up. Falling asleep while out for drinks is a very unattractive look. She held his hand tight as she looked up to him "Well we have to swing by mine anyways, Im pretty sure Lily would attack any other cat she saw around me" Allayah said with a laugh as she hugged the little critter in her arms. Allayah indicated to the path back to her aunts house "Shall we?" she asked. Lily was started to get annoyed at the fact that she was being held in the same arm as the jacket. Allayah let go of Rileys hand, put the cat down, put her jacket back on then picked up the complaining cat once again, while sliding her other hand in Rileys once more. "I dont know why the Egyptians worshipped them. They are like old ladies. Compalin too much and demand too much attention: Allayah laughed softly, not wanting to admit that she actually enjoyed her time around Riley. What worried her now, was how she would be when he left.
 
Riley again put his arm around Allayah's shoulder as she lent against him again. He had a feeing that he wouldn't be in her company very long when he got to hers as she wold want to go bed. He may just hang around until she woke again if things went well. He really didn't particularly want to leave her all lonely in the company of some cats. "Ok but next time we go to mine." He laughed, watching her sort her at out then take his hand again. "Oh tell me about it. Non stop whining. Although my cat is pretty god on that side of things. She is happy i her own company." He said to her as he matched her step and walked by her side. He felt strangely calm around her, usually around a stranger he was a little on edge as he didn't know them but he didn't think that it was necessary right now. "So how many cats do you have or is it just the one?" He asked looking down at Lily
 
Allayah smile as she lent into him, leaning against him alittle more than she needed too really, but she liked being close. She started to walk with him along the path in a slow walk. She loved the veiw around here and hoped he would see the beauty in it too, if he stood still enough to actually take it in. Allayah laughed as she heard him talk of his own cat. Naw i have another, her name is Tinx, short for Tinkerbell. She smirked as she spoke thinking of how stupid it sounded. But if he had a problem with her cats name, he had a problem with her. Yher, i know, it sounds odd, but when she was a kitten she just reminded me of a hyper little fairy kitten. So shes Tinx now. She shrugged as she walked and smiled Her and Lily are soul sisters, so protective over one another. One time there was a stray cat attacking Tinx, and Lily came to her rescue. It was so cute! Allayah smiled as she recited the memories. She looked up to him as she smiled, giving him a slight nudge. Admit it, you love your cat. she commented with a smile.
 
Riley looked around the surroundings as she spoke about the name of her other cat. He had no idea who Tinkerbell was but he guessed it was probably a muggle thing. He didnt know a great deal about their world really. "Cute name." He said looking back down to her. "A hyper little fairy kitten?" He questioned before laughing. "Ok then" He passed off as she began to speak once more about cats. "Yeah that is kind of sweet and of course i love my cat." He said taking a breath and sighing. "Im going to be getting a new kitten to keep Midnight company though. Because im away so much and so is my room mate she just gets lonely i think so company would help." He said
 
Allayah smiled as they kept on walking as they got to her aunts house. It was like something out of a fairy tale really. the stone shack was heavily built, even though it was alittle run down. The rosebushes that were origionally perfectly trimmed around the edges have overgrown, and the bushes held the cottage in a soft embrace, with wild lavenders mixing in with the roses, it made the place smell wonderful, and it gave it a homey feel. She stood infront of the house and sighed happily, missing the place so much. Lily jumped out of her arms, and ran up to the door, smelling Tinx there. As both Allayah and Riley walked up to the house, we could hear another cats meow apart from Lily's. It sounded like one of those really old muggle telephones, the ones that go Briiiiinggggggggggggg. Allayah laughed as she heard her first cats meow. It was allways so weird. This.. is home. She said softly to Riley as she looked up to him with a nostalgic smile.
 
Riley looked up as they reached the house. He glanced over it quickly and he could already see that it as not the usual sort o style of house but it was nice. Relaxing sort of and the fact that it was different made it all that much better. It reminded of somewhere that his mum would have taken him on holiday as a child but those days were dead and gone. He was a different person now than he as back then. It was the loud mewing that caught his attention more than anything though. It sounded odd to say the least but Allayah's talking interrupted it and he turned his head and smiled. "Indeed it is. It seems very cosy and quiet." He said looking back to the house again. "I think Tinx misses Lily by the sound of thing." He laughed as he petted the cat in her arms
 
Allayah smiled as she lead them in, dropping Lily on the floor gently as Tinx came running up to them. Lily and Tinx sniffed eachother and meowed at eachother in greeting. Lily had been away for two whole days, it was a long time for them to be apart, and Allayah felt bad about it. She let them have their hellos before she picked up Tinx. As she walked in, she flicked on the lights, and the dim glow lit up the inside of the house. There was pictures up on the wall, of Allayah of all ages, growing up, with her first spell book, then with her aunt holding a birthday cake, it looked like she was only 13 at the time there.

The chairs were mismatched, and they circled the fireplace, which was allready slowly going. She walked over too it and put another log on from the pile beside the fireplace. She turned around and walked into the kitchen, a little room joined to the main room. She took out a bottle of sherry and two glasses. There was a bowl of chocolate eclaires on the table, and Allayah helped herself to one. She looked up to Riley smiling. "If you dont want sherry, i have firewhisky? Red current rum? And ofcourse beer" And she laughed, smiling to him. Beer. So muggle yet it was her aunts favorite drink,
 
Riley walked into the house and looked around. It wasnt hat he would exactly call home but Allayah probably ad a different opinion than he did. He was more of a modern person thn anything. The Professor looked down as the two cat greted each other. It seemed like they missed each other. cute. H thought to himself, not wanting to at the word cute out loud in the presence of another person. He noted all of the different pictures on the wall but took little notice as they were of her childhood and they were personal to her ad not him. He want that sort of person.

As she walked over to the fire place and put another log on the fire he didnt think it was very big or very hot so he took out his wand and give it a flick, fire shot out from the end and lit the fire better. When she asked him bout drinks he turned around and shrugged."I dont mind what i have. Surprise me." He said to her with a grin. "So how long have you lived here? Im guessing a while." He sad looking at he pictures on the world
 
Allayah laughed softly as she saw Riley flicking his wand, making the fire more intense. The warmth from the fire quickly filled the small cottage, and it had an oddly sweet smell from the wood the fire burnt. The cats finally decided that they were both okay, when Tinx jumped up on the bench, leaning towards Riley trying to sniff him and say hello. Tinx was allways the friendly one, and Lily was usually the stuck up meanie. It seemed the cats agreed with Allayah, Riley had an approchable and friendly air about him.

She poured them two glasses of red currant rum, and slid one drink to him with a small smile. "Well hopefully this will wake me up hey?" She said softly with a laugh, as she drunk half of hers in one shot. It wasnt her first time drinking, and like hell would it be her last. She played with Tinx's tail as the cat tried to reach towards Riley as Allayah looked up to him. "So that Adele girl must be pretty important huh? Tell me about her?" She asked him, smiling at Tinx as she allmost fell off the bench trying to reach him
(Sorry for extra post, but i ignored the home question on purpose, i shoulda said that lol)
 
Riley looked to his side as a cat as leaning over to his to sniff him. He raised his hand at fussed her before standing up strait and collecting the glass with his drink in it. He lifted it to his lips ad took a sip. Placing the glass back down when h had finished it. He ad been drinking a while and he as good at handling them. Riley walked back over to the fire and sat down on one of the chairs.

He looked up as he head Allayah talk again. He smiled at her ad nodded. "Maybe. You never know." He said passively as he looked back down. When he hard her mention Adele his expression changed. He didnt really want to talk about her but he could ignore the question. "She is my Fiancé." He said bluntly as he looked back up to her. "And the mother of my son." He said with a sigh. He didnt want to lie about it again and i she decided that she wanted him out hen he would happily go now.
 
Allayah swished her drink around slightly as she looked down to it, utterly shocked at surprised. So he had a son and a wife and yet he so tried to hook up.. She thought to herself as she continued to look at the glass. She walked over to the big red arm chair infront of the fire and looked to him "Oh.. Hmm.. Well sit down then i suppose" She said softly, indicating to the other chair. She still had her drink in her hand, and she tossed the rest of it into the fire, making it spurt to life for a few seconds while the alcohol burnt off, then it died down again. She put her glass to the side, not going to drink anymore. She wasnt going to get drunk and become a homewrecker. Especially while there was a son in the picture. "Im guessing there are some problems otherwise you wouldnt be here?" she asked him softly, looking up to him. "Im not going to kick you out Riley, if my cats are still trying to get pats after hearing that, they reckon your a good person, so i trust their instincts. Just know if you need to get away, you can chill here. Ill be going soon on buisness, so this place is open" She spoke quietly, her emotions were so mixed. She felt betrayed, yet for some reason, her kindness and mothering insticts kicked in. She wanted to protect Riley. She had no idea why, but she felt like she kind of had to. She knew he didnt need it, but she just couldnt help it.

"Well! im going to get changed." She said quickly as she darted from the loungeroom into a little room off to the side. She came back in her Pajamas and sat back where she was, looking at him "So are you and Adele having problems?" She asked softly, watching him.
 
Riley sighed and looked down at his hands. He kind of wished that he had to said anything, now she had the wrong impression. There was nothing warn with their relationship. In fact he couldnt be happier with her but this was just who he was. He couldnt stop over night. He liked girls that was all. He wasnt as bad now as he used to be though which was something. "There is nothing wrong with our relationship. We are perfectly happy together. I just find it extreamly difficult to be with one girl. I was raised to be like i am so its more or less in my DNA." He said looking back up again. "They can probably smell my cats on me." He said looking at the cat by his side and back to Allayah. "You have to understand that this isnt what i want to be ding but it just an impulse. I would never choose any girl i sleep with over her. When she needs me im here no matter what. I love her and there is nothing i wouldn't do for her or Lowan." He said to her truthfully. He would never choose anyone over Adele or Lowan

hen she said that she was getting changed he nodded. "Ok" He said as he crossed his legs is the ale way and waited for her to enter the room again. When she did he looked around and smiled a her but his smile soon faded at her next question. "No we are not. We are fine. In fact i couldnt be happier with her. We are getting married soon and im looking forward to i greatly. We now have a son." He said biting the bottom corner of his lip. He really was happy with her.
 
Allayah smiled softly as she curled up on her seat, pulling a rug from beside the chair over her lap, thinking about how cute he sounded. She looked up at him as Lily and Tinx both jumped up on her and curled up in her lap. The cats kind of looked like a ying yang symbol the way they were curled,
Her hand ran through the cats fur as she stayed silent in thought, closing her eyes. She lent her head back against the chair and yawned quietly. "Then may i ask why you are here instead of in your girls arms holding ur child?" And she looked up to him with a soft smile, showing him that she didnt really care that he tried to get her into bed just a few minutes ago "And do i get a wedding invite?" She asked with a cheeky smile, laughing.
 
Riley watched as the cats jumped on to Allayah's lap and curl up. Her net question made him think though. Why wasnt with Adele with Lowan in his arms. Why was he here with a girl he knew next to nothing about. "You said you were lonely. I want to keep you comany. Adele has Lowan to keep her company for a while." He said to her look up through his eye lashes. He wondered how hat made him sound. He was caring and he wasnt about to be afraid to show it and he liked this girls company so why leave so early. "You can come along if you want to." He said with a shrug. "It quite close so its on hort notice." He said to her
 
Allayah smiled softly as she heard him speak about her being lonley. She didnt know what kind of draw that was to kind people. and instantly she felt bad. She was the reason keeping him from those he loved. She shook her head with another yawn and smiled slightly as he asked her to come along. "I dont think your Adele would like you bringing someone like me around. Im bad news" She mused softly, looking to the bottom of her empty cup. And then she looked up to him smiling "Plus im allready in my PJ's" She laughed softly as she poked her leg our from the blankets showing off her boot slippers. Allayah lent back in her chair watching the fire as she thought to herself. If only he knew why.. Hmm.. but i suppose if i told him i was a death eater in training, he would most likley run back to his family.. Maybe thats a good thing...
 
Riley laughed and shrugged. "Oh i dont live with Adele. I have a room mate and she as her own place. Besides she knows about my ways and she doesnt care about it. She has caught me on more than one occasion, she just makes a joke and plays along with it" He said with a shrug. He wondered what she meant by bad news, he had met some bad people in his time but nothing he coudlnt handle. If he had managed to kill a death eater once then he could surely protect himself. "Oh please bad news. Trust me i have been mixed in with the wrong type of people before and im been friends with the wrong type of people, im a big boy now in more then one way" He added with a wink before continuing. "Trust me i attract bad news like its going out of fashion you shouldnt worry about it." He laughed off as he lookd at her slipper boots. He stk out his fot to reveal his trainer. "Mine are better. Mine glow in the dark." He said with a laugh. That was the only reason he had got the trainers.
 
Allayah smiled and nodded softly as she heard him speak, alittle surprised that he and his girl were in such an open relationship. Allayah was very traditional when it came to that sort of thing, and if she had caught her guy cheating, well he wouldnt be called a guy for much longer, as she would have chopped something off. She laughed as she heard him talking about her being bad news, and she shrugged. :So if you were to bring a Death Eater around to meet your son, your Adele would be perfectly okay about it?" She spoke softly as she looked up to him with a knowing look. She laughed hard when she saw his trainers, allmost falling off her chair "Okay where can i get me some of them!?" She laughed, as she pretty much scared the cats off with her laughing. And she smiled, laying back "Well i dont care i love me booties" And as she spoke, a weird little accent trickled into her voice, without her noticing. It sounded allmost Dutch.
 
Again Riley shrugged. The fact tat she was a death eater meant very little to him. He was friends with two death eaters and had gone to school with one of them. "Hey what ever your into. Im mates with a few death eaters myself. Jut because your a death eater doesnt man your not a good person. Do i see you torturing me?" He said raisin an eye brow at her. "Besides who would want to ruin a face like this." He joked pointing to his face.He knew he was good looking but he joked about it more than not as he wasnt one of those up himself kind of guys.

Riley laughed at her reaction to hi shoes. She was a laugh he had to admit. "Oh well i got them from New York. I was dragged there one time with Adele." He said rolling his eyes. At least he had these to show for the trip. "Well unless your booties glow in the dark they are not as cool as mine." He said sticking his tongue out at her. That was a sign that he had been spending way too much time with his room mate. "If you want to meet Lowan you can but you can tomorrow. You need to sleep before anything." He said biting his lip. He knew she was tired so he would take her out once she had fully rested and she was actually properly awake.
 
Allayah smiled softly. That was the first time she had told someone what she was and they havnt freaked out or ran out of the house. Now for her this was a good news bad news situation. She was so glad that he didnt run out, but she felt guilty for keeping him away from Adele and his son tonight. She laughed softly as he spoke about his "Pretty face" "Ooooooh my gosh, i better deflate ur head alittle. But you are right, i havnt tortured you.. Yet..." she said with a laugh as she streched out on her chair yawning, her blanket moving up to her knees as she streched. "Well i could get glow in the dark fabric paint and MAKE them glow! Didnt think about that did ya?" She smiled as she laughed curling up again under the blanket. "Id love to meet Lowan.. Nice name by the way. And yher i should go to bed, but id feel bad leaving you here! She said in a soft voice watching him. It was bad manners to just leave a guest alone in a house while you go to sleep.
 
Riley laughed and rolled his eyes. He wasnt nervous about what she said, in act it would make him stay on his feet if he actually believed. "You forget that im a DADA Professor." He said laughing. "Besides if you were going to do it you would have already." He said with a half smile on his handsome face. "Yeah you could but its not quite the same though is it. Besides you cold just use magic instead of pain." He said with a shrug. "Ah thanks. He was going to be called Dean at one point but i liked Lowan better. Lowan Tyson Riley Smith." He said smiling widely as he thought about his son. "Well dont worry about it. Il probably go sleep on the sofa or where ever once you have gone to sleep." He said with a shrug. With what he did with girl so often he was used to sleeping on places like the floor or the sofa.
 
Allayah shook her head absolutly hating that idea. She wouldnt let him sleep on the floor, and in the house there were only two arm chairs, her bed, and the floor. No deal. "No i have a giant king sized bed, you sleep on the other side, nothing will happen cause ill fall asleep in about two seconds once i lay down." She spoke softly as she got up, putting the blanket on the chair so the cats could curl up somewhere warm when they wanted to sleep. She walked to her room and snuggled up on one side. Really the bed seemed like it was bigger than a king sized bed, it took up most of the room. She took off her slippers and curled up yawning "Bathrooms thru there if you need, it she said pointing to a door on the other side of the bed "And you know where everything else is so... She said, yawning so loudly it could have woken up her cats. She snuggled up, bordering on sleep, just incase he needed anything.
 
Riley looked at her with one raised eye brow as she said that he could share her bed. Well this would be the first time that he would have shared bed with a girl and not done anything with her. He shrugged and stood up. "Ok then fine by me." He said with a grin as he followed her into her bed room. He followed where she pointed.He didn't need the bath room yet, but after the seep he would. "Ok i go there in the morning." He said as he took his shirt off and threw it on the floor, followed closely with his shoe and socks. Usually if he had been at him he would go to bed in his underwear but he wouldn't here because he wasn't sure is Allayah would be ok with it so he just stayed in his jeans and slipped under the covers and laid on his front and put his arms under the pillow and then rested his head down on them. "For what its worth, im glad nothing happened between us. I think id rather have you as a friend that a one night stand." He said quietly and he took a deep breath and sighed lightly. He shut his eyes and let conciousness
 
Allayah smiled softly as she drifted into sleep. As she was about to fall into a deep sleep she could feel the cats jumping up and curling up on Riley. She laughed softly and fell asleep, hoping that the cats wernt choking her guest.

--------- Morning---------

Allayah awoke, not really remembering last night at all.but somehow she had ended up curled up against Riley like her cats. She shrugged as she got up and put her boots back on trying not to wake him. She turned around and saw him sleeping, and she giggled softly. All that grown up charm that was on him lastnight, and he looked so peaceful sleeping. Cute. She walked out with a smile, and grabbed her wand off the table as she walked past, flicking on the radio. She walked into the kitchen and put her wand down, turning on her oven and put a frypan on there, putting osme oil in. She would cook them a nice breakfast. It was something she thought she should do, after him keeping her company. Lastnight was the best she had slept in years. She started to cook bacon in the frypan, hoping all the noises and smells would wake him soon, otherwise she would have to wake him herself, and she didnt want to throw water on her own bed while trying to wake him up.
 
Riley could feel himself coming around back to reality once more. He had to struggle to open his eyes. He sighed heavily as he took his hand from under the pillow and stretched out. He wasn't really a morning person. He stood up an stretched again as he made his way to his shirt. He pulled it over his hear then slipped on his socks ad she's before making his his way into the kitchen where he could her Allayah. "Morning." He said happily as he smiled at her. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her curiously as e took a glass and filled it with water and took a sip. He always found himslef in need o a drink when e woke up in a morning.
