Picture Prompt #4


Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Rina sat silently, tucked into the study cubby underneath her dorm room bed, staring at the lyrics on her computer screen. Cannonball by Damien Rice.

( She'd looked up those lyrics half an hour ago. )

This takes place on Monday, 09/07/2009, shortly after a conversation between Marcus and Liam MacEibhir ...


Rina: *checks the id on her cell and smiles* Hey, you! How's my favorite redhead?

Marcus: *smiles at the sound of her voice* Hi, Rina. I was wondering if you were home right now, actually.

Rina: *pushes hair back from her forehead* Yeah, I just got done packing up the last of the boxes to take to my dorm room tomorrow. Why?

Marcus: *bites his lip and then,*Because I'm at Li's and I just twisted his arm into giving me a ride over to your place so I can see you before I go home?

Rina: *eyes widen* You're here?! You dork, why didn't you tell me? *doesn't actually sound all that angry* Of course you can come over. Do you want to meet me at the house or somewhere else?

Marcus: *rubs the back of his neck and finds that the palm of his hand is sweaty. Great. Nerves.* Where do you want to go? I...was sort of thinking we could go somewhere quiet and um, hopefully private.

Rina: Sounds good to me. *considers possibilities* Up by the stream, maybe?

Marcus: Sure. *sighs* The stream's good. We can talk there.

Rina: Okay. I'll meet you there. *hesitates* Is something wrong, cutie?

Marcus: Mmm...hopefully nothing that talking to you won't fix.

Rina: I hope so too. See you soon, babe.

Marcus: Bye. *hangs up* Fuck me.
