NOW IF SHE TOUCHES LIKE T H I S

she couldn't resist taking one look at will again, gazing at him with her, now dull, hazel eyes. she cringed as she watched how he moved, her instant reaction to lurch herself forward, but it was only a step due to her feelings restricting her. april cringed at the glass shattered on the hard counter, glancing back to where gemma stood. turning back towards will's direction she noticed him glance at her, then the blond behind her. rolling her eyes at his words she reached under the counter quickly, grabbed a cloth and the pan and brush and half sprinted over to the mess. staring at it for a second or two she wondered how to clear it up. slowly she ran the brush over it, sweeping away most of the glass. she then proceeded to mop up the liquid, that would in no doubt become sticky in a few minutes time. reaching under the counter where she'd left her bag she grabbed a bottle of something and sighed. she didn't really want to be any where near will, but it wasn't his fault. he just wasn't ready. april had just presumed he was where she was and gone for it. bad idea obviously, but it felt right to her at the time. cringing she emerged back to earth and began spraying the sticky mess, her eyes firmly set on the task in hand, "we make a pair, eh?" once she'd finished mopping up the spillage she threw everything under the counter and settled herself in front of will. her elbows rested on the counter as she leaned forward, one hand near her mouth as she bit her thumbnail nervously, the other cupped around her chin.

"look, will, i'm sorry about that," she sighed, her eyes on the hand close to her mouth, "i just...got carried away." her voice trailed off as she finished her sentence, her dark eyes still watching her own hand. but, as usual, she couldn't resist it any longer and looked up into will's never-ending, blue eyes. she gazed into the shyly, blinking slowly at him.

WILL YOU T O U C H HER RIGHT BACK?

i had to find y o u . . .
tell you i need y o u . . .

April was quick on her feet as she trotted over to clean up the mess. Will felt the urge to help, but he didn't quite know if the brunette would be welcoming of his company while cleaning up his little mess. He sighed as he leaned back onto the counter, closing his eyes as he massaged one of his temples. "I'm really sorry," he apologized again, blinking back over to the girl as she finished tidying up the disaster. He studied her for a moment, his thoughts rummaging around quickly in his head. He hoped she wasn't too terribly upset with him. She was a terrific gal, and it frustrated him to know that he could've just screwed up their relationship even in its start. But, he was snapped out of his momentary daze as April spoke. "We make a pair, eh?" William stood silently as a response, his eyes roaming out into space as he continued to think. He prayed she would forget their little clash. If only, if only...

April completed her cleaning, she settled herself in front of him, their slightly stressed poses similar. Will smiled at her weakly, his eyes searching for some sort of forgiveness. But, before he could speak, she did first. Her attention was distant as she let out a quiet apology. Will listened nervously, though he began to relax as she completed her statement. Relief washed over him, relieving him of his discomfort in the situation. His grin broke out fully as April glanced up to meet his gaze. He hoped to provide her with the same solace she'd given him. "I'm should be sorry too," he said softly, "I didn't exactly mean it so... harshly. I just didn't want to move things that quickly... I mean, we just met!" He rambled out his feelings swiftly, eyes never moving from April as he did so. "I don't want to stop things altogether. I just..." he paused for a moment, letting his attention slip away for a moment before he continued, "Don't want to rush it."

NOW IF SHE TOUCHES LIKE T H I S

as the smile broke out on will's face april smiled back, a reflex reaction. as will said sorry again april straightened up, still a little smaller than him even though he was sat on the bar stool. she let her hands grip the side of the counter as she lent on it, her lower stomach resting on the edge in between her hands. she glanced down at it, realising how much she'd actually lost weight since she'd been at indian valley. she wasn't huge normally, but she'd been stressing a lot more than usual and never felt the need to eat. and she'd just skipped lunch, that didn't help in the slightest. her attention focused back to will as he continued, his voice sounding perfect in her ears again. until he said something she probably took the wrong way. he'd paused mid sentence, then carried on, but april wasn't really listening to that bit. she stared at him, her smile falling and her lips now in a straight, unmoving line. she agreed with him on one, yes they'd just met, but april wasn't used to all these feelings. the way she went to kiss will was normal to her, that was all she knew. guys at bars and her friends who she hooked up with now and then went for it, they would even make the move before her even if they'd met five minutes ago. it was the norm to her. she figured with will it was different, but if he felt the same way, what was the harm in kissing? she didn't understand him, she figured he thought she was after one thing and one thing only. and that was a lie. snapping her attention back to his face she glowered at him, fuming slightly as she spoke, "oh i see," she growled a little in her husky tones, "you think i only want one thing, don't you? you think all i care about is sex, right?" she carried on fuming silently after that for a few more minutes, glaring at the counter between where her hands were resting. she couldn't believe it, she'd just admitted to him the most awkward of her feelings and he thought she was making it all up? her anger slowly melted into sadness, maybe her father was right. maybe she was just a slutty little girl only after what most guys would give for a dollar or two. perhaps she was a prostitute, like her mother had said, just a different kind of one. a tear dropped onto the counter as she tried to sniff them back, trying to hide the fact she was crying dumbly in front of will. she whispered her next reply, not caring if he heard it or not, "i'm not making it up, i do like you." her hair fell over her face and she stood there silently, too embaressed to look up and see will's reaction.

WILL YOU T O U C H HER RIGHT BACK?

tell me your s e c r e t s . . .
& ask me your q u e s t i o n s . . .

Will assumed April's returning smile was a promising sign for a recovery, that perhaps she wasn't all that mad at him. But of course, he wasn't that lucky today. Ah no, here came trouble as he apparently said something just out of line. Maybe in the wrong tone? Maybe in the wrong context? He could tell already, he would have to be on his toes constantly to avoid any disagreements with this girl. They obviously had a bit of a problem understanding each other, and Will could only hope that it could be fixed. Preparing himself for the worst, the blonde man simply listened to April as she spoke at him in a defensive way. But, the words themselves began to settle in, and her accusation drew anger to his spirit as well. "What?" he gasped in response, his blue eyes momentarily opening wide in surprise, all before falling into a mirroring glare. "No, no, no! I didn't mean it like that at all!" he said immediately, still baffled by what she'd said, "I-I just meant that I just don't know you well enough... I'm sorry... It's just that I find it odd that the first girl I've met is so interested in me." Will takes a moment to smile, but it fades as he looks back at April, her raw emotion scaring away his humor. Her anger had faded into sorrow, and suddenly, tears began to gather in her eyes. Quietly staring at her, Will was unsure of what to do. He was concerned about what he'd done to make her so upset. She was a hard book to read, and that was truly confusing to the Englishman. But, as he sat swimming in his thoughts for a moment, he was drawn back to reality as April whispered something. He had to leap back to attention to even catch a breath of it. "...I do like you." He smiled weakly, still a bit shaky on what he was supposed to do. He slowly reached out to hold one of her small hands again, cradling it lightly in his larger ones. "I do too," he echoed quietly, glancing down at their joined hands for a second. He raised his eyes once more, smiling gently at April. "So turn that frown upside down," he said kiddingly, trying to rid the air of its cold aura. Perhaps a dumb joke would help?

My muse sucks this morning. April's mental, Will's stupid xD

NOW IF SHE TOUCHES LIKE T H I S

she cringed as will replied to her sudden outburst of anger, her eyes shutting making more tears drip onto the hard counter. she was crying for two reasons, one because of what her parents thought of her. and two, because she didn't want all of this to happen between her and will. april felt it was all her fault, she was taking everything he said the wrong way and she could see that. she was letting the normal april get in the way of this new april, who found emotions weren't so scary after all. she relaxed a little as will started to apologise, again. april continued to stare at the counter though, too scared to look up into his blue eyes that were probably angry. a weak, brief smile flickered onto her lips at his last sentence, he was right. she hardly knew him and she was obviously going too fast compared to a normal person used to such feelings. she felt something brush her hand and cup around it, her eyes searching to find what it was. she stared at will's hand around hers as he spoke, the words she wanted to hear coming from his mouth. her weight shifted a little, she was in a rather uncomfortable position now. her free hand moved so that the elbow was resting on the counter again, her other hand still encased inside will's large one. she weakly laughed at will's attempt at humour, her frown actually turning upside down for a brief few seconds. finally she gained the pathetic courage to look up, her wavy hair falling away from her face. her eyes were a little blotchy still, though not too bad, but her lashes were covered in her tears. a few ran down her face still, but she wasn't actually crying anymore. she didnt like herself right now, she was too emotional. it wasn't the april she liked. this was usually the april after a lot of drinking and a bad mood to start with. but april wasn't drunk, and she didn't have any alcohol on her. she stared into will's eyes for a minute, before croaking her reply out to him, "i'm such an idiot," she smiled up at him, "i'm sorry, you don't need to say sorry." she smiled, her hand warm inside will's. she didn't want to move it, so she left it there, the air around her feeling a lot warmer than before.

WILL YOU T O U C H HER RIGHT BACK?

tell me your s e c r e t s . . .
& ask me your q u e s t i o n s . . .

True relief settled in Will's conscience as he watched April's face bloom a smile for a brief moment. He let out an eased sigh, feeling a bit more content with himself than before as he thought that April would find it in her heart to forgive him. He'd been deeply worried about that, too worried to even think straight. But as he thought abit more about it, he began to realize that even their little bump in the road had probably been good for him. A bit of a kick in the gut to get him back into the swing of socializing, reminding him how to act properly in public. Though he did hope that not everyone in this town was like April, as then he'd really worm his way into trouble. Yet, he didn't mind the girl's heavy emotions; in fact, he enjoyed it. She knew how to express herself without fear, even if it did mean embarrassing herself a little bit. Will admired her, and frankly, he adored her company. She was sweet once one found their way past her flirtatious cover. Hm, he really did like her. It was an exciting thought, bringing butterflies to his stomach. Will continued smiling on, listening intently as April replied. His smile straightened a bit, his free hand finding its way up to April's face as he wiped away a stray tear on her cheek. "No you're not," he chimed in strictly, "We just had a little bit of trouble coming to terms with one another... Like I said, I've kinda been a hermit for the past two weeks, remember?" He grinned as he finished talking, not able to suppress his joy. He took a slow breath, lowering his hand from where it was held to April's face. He felt a tad awkward, never being so unsure of what to say in his life. But, he didn't care about that right now. He'd met a wonderful girl, and frankly, all his other problems seemed extremely distant to him now. He went on smiling, standing happily in a slight daze. Things were going nicely for the new man. He could only hope it'd stay that way.

"No, it's not your fault." Will gave her a quick glance. 'It is...' he thought to himself. Though he knew they were both culprits in the situation, he would've liked to just pin it on himself and ditch the whole memory. But April wouldn't just forget, nor would he. Yet, he was happily looking toward the future now, wondering just how much their little crush on one another would take them. Butterflies still tumbled in his stomach, a certain excitement lit inside of him whenever he looked to April. First meetings never took him this far this quickly. Surely it meant something promising. Will didn't stop staring at her even as moved her eyes away from his, glancing off elsewhere for a brief moment. She smiled at him, which Will returned immediately. "Sounds good," he said quickly, closing his eyes for a second as April trotted away from her position in front of him. He let out a pleased sigh, basking in the environment around him as his friend pranced up beside him, fixing herself into the same barstool she'd been in before. Will turned to face her, having his hand snatched up as soon as he did so. He looked at her curiously, nervously leaning back as he heard what she was asking him to do. "Me? Dance?" Will muttered skeptically, biting his lip as he let his attention roam over to the dance floor, "Are you sure you want to be embarrassed by my not-so graceful moves?" He was grinning playfully as he said this, but he was very serious about his lack of skill. He had never done any kind of dancing really. What he called dancing was pretty much just holding hands and spinning around in circles to some mushy love song, and the idea of anything else was foreign territory. He shook his head, his smile still strong even if he was scared to death.

LOUDER THAN SIRENS L O U D E R THAN BELLS

april grinned up at will when he was a little reluctant to dance. she thought he might be, seeing as this wasn't really the place to do any sort of saucy dancing at this time of the day. april could street dance a little, but it wasn't really her style. she had her own ways of dancing, but she'd never do it in public. not when she was sober anyway. and slow dancing...wasn't that a bit too intimate? oh well, she'd try it on with will. smiling softly at him she pleaded still as he spoke again. april threw her head back slightly, her laughter ringing through the air like little bells. she felt happy again, all those previous feelings washed away at last. she stood and stared at will with her sparkling hazel eyes, "you're going to dance, whether you're graceful or not." she grinned at him and pulled him onto the dance floor. by now there were just two other couples sitting in dark corner, too engrossed in their own little conversations to notice the pair who took to the dance floor. gemma had taken to the kitchen to chat up the kitchen staff, so there was no one at the bar to watch them. smiling she dropped will's hand and turned away from him, heading to the other side of the floor. quickly flicking the discs she picked a song and let it play, her light fingers quickly cheating the system so she didn't have to pay. turning back to will she skipped over, feeling like a little girl on a not-so-serious date. her face beamed as she picked up will's hands, one in each of hers, and stood on her tip toes to speak to him almost face to face, "i've got moves you've never seen." she winked at him after speaking in a pathetic attempt at a texan accent. grinning she lowered herself to the floor, "go on, you can't be that bad."

Laughter was a good thing, but his heart pounded in his chest nervously. Though he knew it wasn't that big of a deal, and a guy like himself definitely knew how to make fun of himself, something about looking stupid in front of April made him want to crawl under a rock and hide. He sighed lightly as she spoke. "Okay, whatever you saaay," he replied as he was swept away by the shorter girl, stumbling slightly as she dragged him along. And as he was pulled to the dancefloor, he surveyed the area. No one else was going to be out here now, Waterson Hall itself practically empty. At least he didn't have to make a fool of himself at the attention of anyone else. Will smiled uneasily as April pranced away from him, heading off to change the current tune. 'Lord, save me now...' he prayed silently. His face was unusually hot; he predicted he was just blushing. And he felt it grow even warmer as April re-approached him, taking up his hands again as she heightened herself to get in his face. Will laughed at her comment, feeling a bit better as she joked. But as she continued, his smile weakened. "Uh... Okay..." he muttered, "But I'm warning you. My dancing shouldn't be considered dancing..." He laughed a little once again, all before beginning to 'dance'. It was really Will just leading April around in circles, but that's all he really knew how to do. "See?" he said with a grin, "Told you it's not really dancing."

I START R U S H I N G TOWARDS THE SKYLINE

smiling at his reply she shut up for a few minutes, letting will get his head around the fact she as making him dance. as she was twirled around the floor april let a laugh echo into the atmosphere, high like chimes. she grinned at will as he said he bad his dancing was. rolling her eyes she shook her head, happy to be swirled around. she slowed him down a little and spoke in her trademark husky voice, "it's wonderful dancing," she winked up at him before continuing, "but, i'd say you're going too fast." smiling she wrapped her arms around his neck and drew her body closer. knowing they were supposed to be taking it slow she didn't get to far in, though it was the closest they'd been since she'd tried to kiss him. april tried not to think of that ever so embarrassing moment, but occasionally it pushed its way forward from the back of her mind. sighing she closed her eyes and whispered on her breath out, "this too close for you?"

Will smiled down at April, floating around the dancefloor a bit more slowly now. "Good to know at least one of us knows what their doing," he mused playfully, looking downward as he stared at his own feet for a moment. But then, a grasp around his neck brought him to look back up. April's arms were now draped over him as she settled more closely to his body, their bodies still drifting around in circles as she did so. His shoulders tensed for a moment as he got used to it, but he then relaxed. He didn't care how fast things had developed between them anymore. He knew now his feelings for the girl he was dancing with were genuine. With a smile, Will's arms wrapped slowly around April's petite waist, the action a reflex to hers. He was much more comfortable now, everything becoming more natural. "I'm fine with it," he replied quietly, leaving conversation ceased as he became absorbed in the music around him.

i decided not to skip ahead, because i thought maybe april could get tired because she hasn't eaten in a while or something? just a thought xD

I START R U S H I N G TOWARDS THE SKYLINE

april smiled weakly at his words, though she was no longer concentrating on what he was saying. her brain said it wasn't important anymore, it was saying she was in need of something. but what that thing was she didn't know, her heart was blocking out any physical need at the time. her eyes stayed closed as she felt him relax under her and her smile strengthened as his arms wrapped around her tiny waist. it was then she realised how think she'd become, things had been troubling her when she got here but she never really noticed. the again most of the time she drowned everything out with vodka and wine. sighing she lent her head against will's chest, not bothering to ask if he minded or not, because quite frankly she needed the support. she drifted slightly, her thoughts becoming tangled with each other until she couldn't make sense of anything. she was getting a bit of a headache, but she figured it was the heat. her mind started to fade away until she couldn't think about anything anymore. her arms slipped away from around will's neck, their grip loosening until they began to slide down his body and land by her side. she wasn't aware of this at all and her head smashed against his chest as she tried to stand up. that woke up and she swore, "shit! sorry i didn't mean to do that, did i hurt you?" she pulled away from him with her hazel eyes wide but still slightly glazed. her head span a little from her sudden movements and her body swayed slightly, but she managed to keep her balance. her petite hand flew to her forehead without her knowning and she spoke weakly, "i think this is the last time i'm going be allowed to skip lunch." she tried to laugh, but it came out as a weak breath.
