Hehehehe 4

[dancnwithmyself]

Tina... hi. How are you?

oh boy

[morbidbubbles]

[Tina smiles, looking up from her book which she closes and puts off to the side] Hi you.

[She leans over to give him a hug and a kiss, as per usual] Well I'm a lot better now that you're here.

Hehehehe

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie leans in, hugging her tightly, lost in thought. She couldn't do that to him, could she?]

[morbidbubbles]

[She gives him another squeeze since he doesn't seem to be letting go, but that's alright. It's Artie after all] So how was your night? I'm sorry I couldn't get away, Mom was a stickler about it beings girls' night.

[dancnwithmyself]

It was okay. Few people phoned, just talked to them. How was yours?

[morbidbubbles]

Oh, pretty good - watched some movies, pigged out on junk food. Mom nagged me about eating my weight in ice cream... the usual.

[Now she's moved to playing with his hair, the way it falls across his forehead] Hm, I really missed you though. You miss me?

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie loved the feel of her fingers in his hair. He became putty in her hands, normally. But he was trying to focus.] I always miss you, you know that.

[He paused for a moment, trying to work out the best way to phrase things.] One of the phone calls was your Mom, asking where you were.

[morbidbubbles]

[Tina's eyebrows raised slightly in alarm, but she tried to hide it] O-Oh. Really? Well that's, that's weird...

Oh! She must've been calling 'cause I....went out to get more ice cream. Yeah. She worries too much. I'm sorry she called you....

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie gave her a 'don't lie to me' expression.] That's why she said she hadn't seen you all evening, then?

[morbidbubbles]

[Her face paled slightly, and she began to fidget with her hands] Um, erm....I...I don't know why she said that....

O....Okay, so maybe I wasn't at girls' night...

[dancnwithmyself]

Stop treating me like a kid. [Artie didn't snap often, only when he was angry or upset, and right now he was both.]

[morbidbubbles]

[Tina winced at his sharp tone, feeling her stomach lurch. Damn her mother for calling. Damn herself for not covering her tracks better]

O-Okay, I went out....somewhere instead of spending time with you last night. I'm sorry.

[dancnwithmyself]

[Artie sighed, not looking at her.] I know. I was worried, so I went out looking for you in case something bad had happened. Couldn't get that nagging feeling out of my head that something was wrong. Of course, seeing you with that other guy, I really wish I hadn't...

[morbidbubbles]

[Tina felt like the air was sucked out of the room] You....you saw me? [No no no, this was going to wreck everything she'd worked so hard for, all her efforts to keep it hidden!] Artie....it, it wasn't what it looked like...

[dancnwithmyself]

Yes, I saw you. I was worried. I shouldn't have been, should I? Well, not worried about your safety, but what you were doing behind my back.
