Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I just didn't want to assume since I seme to keep missing the mark.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

Fine, just so you can't use the excuse you didn't know: I like you. I really like you. I like you in a "I would actually take a risk and want to date you so I could get to know you intimately" kind of way. I like you that I could hope and see myself being dedicated to you long term if we work together and the mere thought of that kind of commitment doesn't instantly suffocate me. If none of that feels like I'm saying much, try thinking about it again after you look at that memory since you aren't handing it over.

But if you don't feel anything for me, to the point you can't even have some good faith on what I'm trying to do here when I present something personal or I'm trying to encourage you about things you would like for yourself, this is too imbalanced for us to get anywhere. I want to know you too much while you don't want to know me enough.

It doesn't work.

[....going to look at the memory in the slip]

[ ...Sam closes his eyes, exhaling slowly, waiting. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Glancing over once the memory plays out, slowly looking over Sam’s face]

[ he doesn't regret sharing it with the other but he does feel pretty bad that sharing it means putting the other through it. so he does look a little conflicted but more like in a guilty sense than anything else so he might glance down after a moment. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

...That was your ex?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

... Something like that, yeah.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[...scoots closer, rests his head on Sam's shoulder]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[ ... Turns enough so he can reach to wrap an arm around Jewel's shoulders and give a light squeeze. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Curls an arm around Sam's waist, squeezing back]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

I will never judge you like that... And I don't want you to judge yourself like that, either, especially not because of my words. Still, I won't bring it up anymore, okay? Just to make sure.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Breathes in.....then out, reaching up to ruffle Sam's hair gently]

....I don't know if I've mentioned it...but the president of my old agency is the man who adopted me.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

...Ah. So you were trapped no matter what.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Mhmm...

...I was distracted. It wasn't that I didn't want to look...

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

That's not your reality anymore. And it doesn't define you.

... we started arguing. I didn't exactly give you much time. Even if you didn't want to see it that's not something I would hold against you. I just hoped it would lessen the sting my words made you feel. ... That and also help you take to heart that you're worth so much more than what you've been through if you got someone like me willing to want to take risks for you.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Start over then?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

All right.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

How did you even meet him, if I can ask? Do all mafia folk just know each other? Or is there some kind of mafia dating app?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ actually can't help but crack a bit of a smile at that. ]

Do celebrities have that kind of thing?

... The short version is we're allied families. We technically met through street racing first, though.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Well…many Arias go to a lot of events other high profile Arias are at. And many wind up working on projects together… Many Arias are workaholics, so other Arias are usually the easiest for them to meet. And they understand what life is like in regards to being busy and away for long periods sometimes.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Similar professions and lifestyles led, so makes sense.

Eh... I mean, if you are the son or daughter of a mafia head, you mingle with celebrities and the highly wealthy elite just like a famous Aria might. Charity galas are one of our favorites.

We don't have special events that are for Mafia only for getting to meet and mingle.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Huh...I wonder if we've ever been at the same event before.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Us or you and my "ex"?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You and me. I hope I’ve never run into your ex before. If I did I’m glad it clearly didn’t go anywhere.
