Kairu rigby sat at her computer, hair pulled into a messy un-washed pony. the blue-green of the screen reflected off of her porcelain-pale skin, making her freckles look like flecks of rust on a copper railing. her jaw was clenched like concrete as she focused onto the equation before her. A knock on the door stifled her concentration. She sighed, realizing her posture, and straightened up. "who is it?" she called. "It's me!" Her husband, Smith, replied through the door. He came in and set down a large tray with two large coffees on a table by the door. He leaned against the doorway, looking at her apprehensively. 'babe, you've been working too hard.' he walked over to her, then gave her a hug. 'I'm fine!' she explained, words muffled by Smith's stomach. He crouched next to her chair. 'come with me.' He looked into her eyes as he said this, and she couldn't resist. All of a sudden there was no homework or bills or responsibilities. There was just Smith and his loving expression. He stood, offering her a hand. Kairu took it, shutting off the computer monitor. Before she knew it they where out in the field by her house, lying on a blanket, the stars illuminating her world. She lay her head on his chest, humming 'boats and birds' by Gregory and the hawk. Smith wrapped his arm arround her and was about to kiss her, but a voice behind them made them flinch. 'HEYYY!' Kairu propped herself up to see...
((Okay)) Sophiana walked toward the couple from the dimmly lite Rigby house "Are you guys out here?" She saw Kairu turn "Hey there!." She hugged Kairu and kissed Smiths cheek "Loves of mine, glad to find you." She sat down on the blanket "I love stars."
"me too!" kairu sighed, then finished her previous endeavor in the form of a peck on the cheek. Smith laughed. "I found her haunched over her homework, the zombie she is. I swear to god she's gonna go blind form staring at that screen." Kairu rubbed her make-up-less eyes, groaning. "It's this stupid muggle professor! he hates my guts, I swear!" She looked pleadingly at sophiana.
"That's terrible, what are you trying to do with Muggle college?" Sophiana looked at Kairu's makeup less state "Why I haven't seen you without makeup in ages!"
Kairu furowed her brow. "I need a job." Smith groaned, sitting up. "Kairu!" He shouted. "We talked about this. The bar is doing so well you dn't need to do any of this." He looked at her worriedly. "I know..." She muttered. "I just want to be independent, that's all." she sat up, putting her arm around smith. "If it's an independence issue, then I can't interfere..." He looked at her like a mom sending her daughter to her first party. "I'd just hate it if you where hurting yourself for no reason." kairu shook her head. "I'm fine!"
Sophiana looked at how cute they were "Aww! I am still working at the flower shop, though the old women working there have taking a likeing to me which is nice, I like old people, nice, straight forward, and wiseish." "I think the bar is doing well enough for you isn't it? It's always filled."
Smith smiled. "Thanks! It's doing great." He sat up straight. "The free taxi service was wayyy worth it- we get a lot of moms going for a night out and whatnot." He shrugged. "Much better that having people leave drunk and get in accidents, ya know?" Kairu let go of him, leaned over and pulled some grass out of the feild. Her typical attire- blank tucked in t-shirt, skinnys and cons- seemed out of place. She felt as if a ball gown would be more appropriate for such a night. She scooted over to soph, resting her head on her shoulder. "I WANT COFFEE!" She whined. "Smith, you left them insideeee."
She looked over at Smith "You left the coffee?" She shook her head "That's tragic." She fiddleld with the weed that was plucked by Kairu and stuck it in her hair she admired it for a moment then sighed "I wonder what he's up to." Sophiana layed down on the blanket tracing constellations with her finger, her face started to frown so she shook it off "I want coffee tooo!" she whined as well
Smith laughed, but Kairu could see deeper than that. She kept her mouth shut- if soph wanted to talk about it, she would, right? "Fine." Smith stood, then picked up kairu. She wrapped her arms around his neck, his arm supporting her knees. "everyone in the car. Time for starbucks." Kairu smiled, shouting, "WOOO!" and kissed Smith. He pulled away too soon, then started trekking to their car. Kairu reached out towards Sophiana and grabbed her hand.
Sophiana grabbed Kairus outreached hand "I was worried for a second that Smith had made coffee" He laughed but luckily didn't drop Kairu, They climbed in the car and set off Sophiana whispered to Kairu "I broke up with Charlie 5 years ago."
Kairu pulled her mouth into a tight line. "I know," she said quietly, "but I can see you still think about him." Smith started the car (only a fool would let kairu drive them anywhere in her current state) and pulled out onto the flower-edged road. Kairu put in a CD- blink-182. She sang along and fiddled with her hair.
"I mean how could I not, I spent 4 years with him, I mean I don't know if I made a mistake or not. I'm also just curious where he is, married..." She looked out onto the road listening to the beat not the words "I don't think so he thought he was a player. She ran here hand though her hair. No, not going to worry, ancient history been there." Her eyebrows raised as she saw Smith glance in the back seat "It cool Smith." She smiled "Put on First Date." "Kairu" she put her voice back in whisper "No need to dwell on it. That's ancient history, been there."
Kairu smiled. "okay." They approached the starbucks, turning a few heads. Of course, a car blasting blink heading to starbucks. nothing out of the ordinary. "Should we go inside?" Smith asked, glancing around for a place to park.
"We should go inside, I guess no need to try to talk to these people though a box." Her cell phone buzzed and she streched out to get it out of her pocket she looked at the caller and put it on silent "No time for silly boyfriends." Smith parked and they walked inside being stared at tey were a crowd white and black and blue hair, Kairu looking like she hadn't slept in days and Sophiana turning her head to the side so her piles of curls were falling to the side of her head "I want a very large Mocha."
Smith got in line, puting his hands in his pockets. Kairu walked over to the pastrys, trying to deliberate. "I want a salted caramel latte, and a chocolate cupcake." She announced to Smith. "What about you, soph?" kairu asked.
"A very large Mocha, and a red velvet cupcake." She fumbled with the pounds in her cardigan "Umm, damn, I suck at math." She gave another look at the board and sighed, Smith heres "5 pounds,keep the change." "I hate muggle math."
Smith laughed, ordered, and handed the cashier the money. Kairu sat down at a booth, gazing out of the window. She wanted to get a job... but she was working herself to death.
kairu shrugged. "True..." Smith sat down with them, handing Kairu her coffee and cupcake. She licked the icing off of the cake, letting her coffee cool. "So what after this?" Smith asked, sipping his coffee. Kairu smiled at him. "let's go home and watch disney movies."
Sophiana grinned "Hercules???" She looked at her cupcake and took off the wrapper taking a bite she cupped her hand under her mouth because of the crumbs falling "I think that's what we all need." She finshed her cupcake and folded the wrapper into fourths and tossed it into the rubbish bin. And continued sipping her Mocha, "Thanks for taking me out Rigby's"
"anytime." Smith said, "Besides, Kairu needs some girl time." Kairu hit his shoulder, finishing her cupcake. "I need to stop at the grocery store." She reminded smith. "we're out of pop-tarts and whatnot."
"Sounds good" She finshed the rest of her mocha in a long swig "Caffiene" She stood up and straightened her cardiagan, "Okay then." She had a plain white v neck top with a blue wool cardigan over and blue jean skinnnies, with grey ankle boots. "I am ready, you guys?"
"Yup! Kairu said. They got in the car and before she knew it, they where in the parking lot of the local grocery. Kairu jumped out of the car. "GROCERIESSSS!" She squealed. Smith looked at her oddly. "Yup. There was caffeine in that, alright."
Smith shook his head and pushed the girls to the door. "now, what do we need?' He asked. Kairu jumped out of the cart, pulling up her ripped skinnys. A glamour kills pig decorated the pocket. "pop tarts!" She skipped towards the cereal isle.
Sophiana saulted Smith for pushing her and climbed out "Now I want smores poptarts." SHe threw a box in the cart "Hey I'm going to go get something else, be right back." She ran to a diffrent aisle and grabbed a bottle of bourbon. She set in the cart. "What else did you guys need?"
kairu looked in the cart. "let's get crunk tonight!" She twirled around. Smith laughed, "I'm in!" as kairu grabbed some cherry pop-tarts. She skipped to the next isle, grabbing some soymilk.
"Eww" Sophiana put a quart of cow milk in the cart "For me." Kairu bounced off for another item and Sophiana hung back with Smith "Hey Smitharoni, have well..." She ran her hand through her hair again "Have you ya know heard anything from...Charlie?"
