It's All About You [Skylar]

[williamwilkins]

Liam stood with his back against the brick wall of a building near the side yard, waiting. He glanced down at his wrist, as though about to check a watch, though he hadn’t worn a watch in years, not since he’d gotten a cell phone. The habit was still ingrained. As it was, he had no idea what time it was, but he was sure Skylar was running late. He grinned slightly, briefly entertaining the thought that she was late because she was busy primping for him. Yeah right, it was Skylar after all, and he was certain pigs would fly before she primped for anyone. Besides, Skylar wasn’t privy to how his mind worked. She probably took his invitation to hang out at face value, while he’d been busy trying to plan how he could take a girl on a date in this place. So even on the off chance him taking her out was something she’d primp for, she didn’t know this was that occasion. Liam, becoming more accustomed to her erratic behaviors, wasn’t about to actually ask her ‘out’ per say, worried that the word ‘date’ would have her scarpering to the trees.

Liam wanted to do things right with her, what she hadn’t told him about her past he could piece together, and he figured no one had ever treated her right, and lord knows she deserved it. And if there was one thing he’d had a lot of practice with, it was taking girls out on fantastic dates. He had a little less to work with than usual, but he was adamant that this would work, that whether or not she wanted it, Skylar was going to get used to being a little spoilt. He held his backpack loosely in one hand, emptied of it’s normal array of binders, pens and moldy food, and instead filled with everything you would need for a picnic. A small smile graced his face, he’d gone to the kitchens expecting to have to promise all manner of things just to get what he needed, but met the regular cook instead, a cantankerous old man who’d given him enough food to power a small army.

It was a cool night, and he was thankful for the thick hoodie he’d thought to grab at the last minute, though even with its added warmth, he still felt chilled. He probably could have planned this better, chosen one of the still warm and muggy Saturday afternoons, but at heart, Liam was a romantic, and moonlight seemed much more appropriate than sun. Now if only they would trust the students enough to give them matches. Since it was a moot point, he’d bothered one of the maintenance staff for a flashlight that would need to work in lieu of candles. He held a sparse bouquet of flowers in his other hand, there wasn’t much in the way of plants on the grounds, and what he had found and picked were a rather sad bunch. And he strongly suspected that despite their floral appearance, they were in fact weeds. Definitely not his best, but it was the thought that counted, he’d tried. He looked down at his bare wrist again, he had everything he needed, well, except the girl. [/size]

------------------------------

Skylar briefly looked in the mirror. She looked like she always did, she didn't put on make-up and didn't do anything with her hair that she didn't do every damn day or her life, and she didn't dress up. However, she wasn't wearing any red, and though she would never admit it, it was because of Liam. She wore a slightly baggy black t-shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, and a pair of white chucks, so she wasn't entirely not wearing red, the chucks had a red rubber strip on their sole.

When Skylar exited the bathroom she glanced towards the door that led to her dorm. She didn't really have a reason to dislike her dorm.. she just did. She wasn't in her roommates fan clubs either. Again, she didn't really have a reason that either. Skylar didn't have reasons for most of the things she did, at least not valid reasons. Everything she did made sense in her head, weather or not it made sense to others was not her problem, and she wasn't going to waste her time explaining things to people.

She walked slowly, quiet in the darkness, watching her feet, noticing where the lace was becoming frayed and about to snap. Probably the next time she laced her shoe. She finally looked up from her almost broken shoe lace when she neared the end of the hallway, extending her long arms, pushing open the door to the stairs. She shot down them, on the balls of her feet, again being silent. She opened the door at the bottom of the stairs, and exited it. It was long before she was pushing the door to the school open and stepping out into the cold night air. She didn't mind the cold, it reminded her of home. She walked around to the side yard, and began walking towards the only figure she saw. "Did we almost get caught last time? Why are we sneaking out again?"

Liam turned his head towards the voice, smiling as Skylar walked over. He couldn't help that she looked like she always did, meaning that there was no primping. Which he was a little glad for, it would have freaked him out a bit if she'd shown up all made up, it just wouldn't seem like Skylar. And there was of course the fact she didn't need to, she looked gorgeous just the way she was. He walked away from the wall, going towards her and slinging the backpack over one shoulder as he did, a small grin on his face.

“ You're point? What's life without a little bit of risk.” he smiled, as he approached her he wondered if he was allowed to kiss her. The rules of their arrangement weren't really brought up, and he didn't quite know if she would take offense if he just went for it. Screw it, last time he'd seen her, they'd made out like crazy, and her reaction couldn't be worse than when she tackled him in the cafeteria. As he drew level with her, he let the bag drop off his shoulder and used his free hand to take her waist, pulling her towards him as he lowered his face and pressed their lips together.

Liam pulled away after a brief moment, a smile on his face, he could get used to kissing her. He bent down and grabbed the bag again, slinging it back over his shoulder. “ Besides, we should be ok, I saw that guard heading off somewhere with the chef, he's not going to be wandering about for hours, that old dude will keep him plenty occupied. So we're good” He looked down sheepishly at his rather sad looking bouquet of flowers/weeds. “ Oh, and these are for you... not really that great, but there isn't much selection around here.” he grinned lopsidedly, holding them out to her . “ But it had to be done, you can't take a girl out on a first date and not have flowers for her, there is something just inherently wrong with that[/size]

------------------------------

Skylar slowed as he started walking towards him. His hair, that cocky little smile, the annoying supposedly "hot" British accent... Once things she'd made fun of at one point, but now.. Now it was just him. And she liked him. Annoying features and all. Plus.. He was a really good kisser. Which was proved to her once again as he dropped his book bag, grabbed her and pulled her close, and pressed his lips to hers. Her un-captured hand went to his chest, gripping onto his hoodie in the brief few moments that their lips were touching, and Skylar wouldn't say it out loud, but she wished it had been longer.

Her eyes shifted to the... mess he was holding out to her, and calling flowers. She removed her hand from his chest and took them. Okay, so that was sweet... However Skylar didn't like, want or need flowers, and they weren't even really flowers they were... weeds, she guessed. She picked off the bits of dirt from the ends. "I would've been fine with more cupcakes, you didn't have to go through all the trouble of ripping up half the side yard full of dirt..." She was ungrateful, she just... liked the cupcakes. Skylar shortened the stem on a little white flower and put it behind her ear, looking down and away so she wouldn't have to look in his eyes. She didn't like people knowing when she enjoyed things, even little things like flowers.

She let the word "date" sink in.. Deep in.. Deep deep deep in. So they were on a date. They were going on a date so they were dating. Sort of. About to date? Was this a test run for them? If they got through the night without her maiming him or him getting pissed off at her they would date? Was that what this was? Skylar didn't know if she was ready for this.. first date and all.this wasn't going to be awkward, was it? She didn't want an awkward first date, if it was awkward she was punching Liam in the nads. So she decided she wasn't going to say anything about it being a date. She was just going to be completely chill. Yeah, she could be chill for once in her life. She looked up at Liam finally. "So what do you have planned?"

------------------------------
[/color][/center]

[williamwilkins]

Liam smiled as she put one of the flowers in her hair. She didn’t need to say she liked them, or even thank you. Liam was starting to understand Skylar better, and knew that appreciation wasn’t something that came easily to her. He didn’t need to hear it, her comment about the cupcakes and the fact that she didn’t just tear up the flowers was enough for him. He smiled a little, lifting his hand up and tucking some of her hair behind her ear near the flower. “ Very pretty. Looks much better in your hair than it ever did in the ground.” he said with a small chuckle.

He let his hand drop back down and grabbed hers, clasping their fingers together. She looked a little freaked out by his calling this a date, but she didn’t run away. Liam saw that as a good sign. If she was still here, it meant that at least a part of her wanted it to be a date. He smiled, he would just take it one step at a time, slowly. Again he was struck with the thought that Skylar was like a skittish horse. He just couldn’t make any sudden movement, lest he scare he off.

He started walking, pulling her along with him, away from the buildings and out towards the deserted grounds. “ What do I have planned, well, going out to dinner is a pretty standard date type activity I would think. Though there isn’t much chance of that happening here. So I decided to do the BAD version.” he smiled, holding up the backpack. “This is filled with everything we could possibly need for a candle lit dinner.. .minus the candles of course. Can’t trust us crazed kids with a lit match.” he chuckled “ So no need to worry, you get the flowers, and there are cupcakes for desert” he grinned as they tromped through the grass.[/size]

Occ// Bleh, sorry, that is a poopy reply. Turns out I did no better this morning than I would have last night >.< I promise the next shall be better!

------------------------------

"Very pretty. Looks much better in your hair than it ever did in the ground."

Pretty? He though she was pretty? It sounded so.. real. Like he really thought she was pretty, like he meant it. How could he just mean it like that? Sure, her mother had called her a beautiful little girl, but.. it was her mom, moms also told their kids that they would grow up to be the president, and a movie star, and whatever they wanted to be. Josh never called her pretty, not that it would make what he did to her any better. And then James... The last time she'd seen them he called her beautiful, and she ran off. She didn't want to run off now and Liam get transferred out and she never see him again. So like with him saying the word date, she wasn't going to mention it. She knew it was probably silly to think just because he ran away with James and never saw him again, that the same thing would happen with Liam but she was not taking any chances. She just started liking the day, and they were going on a first date, it was too soon for it to end.

Then he was dropping his hand and grabbing hers, and she couldn't help but notice how.. easily her fingers slipped between his, and how natural it felt, like their hands were made for each others. But that thought just made Skylar want to smack herself across the face, because that was most annoying, cheesey crap she'd ever thought of, and it didn't deserve to be in her head. Who even thought crap like that, anyway? It was stupid, one persons hand wasn't made for someone elses hand to hold. Her hand probably wasn't meant to be held at all, and the fact that Liam was holding her hand was just weird, and completely foreign. Really, it didn't make sense, considering his hand should've been chewed off a long time ago, the first time they held her hands. Even though she'd technically been the one to grab his hand first, the fact that Liam still had a hand was... completely insane.

Skylar cracked a small smile. "You're giving me the BAD version of a date? That sounds.. bad." Blackwood Academy version would have been a better way to phase, but she liked joking with him. "I totally get where they're coming with the matches though, I'd probably would've lit my roommates on fire by now... Teenage girls are annoying." Skylar didn't count herself in that. She was.. A crazy person, did age or gender count when you were as crazy as Skylar was? It's not like anyway cared anyway. "However.." She smiled a little more, looking away and down again. "Cupcakes sound f*cking amazing."

((OOC: I love Liam, and none of post suck. EVER.))

Liam laughed lightly and nodded his head “ A BAD version does sound rather, well as you put it, bad. And chances are, it will be the shabbiest date you ever go on. But, then again, I for one like to judge a date on the company, rather than the location. So in this case, this is going to be the best bad date I've ever been on.” he grinned “ God, that was pretty cheesy sounding, wasn't it? Definitely didn't sound that dorky in my head.” he chuckled, swinging their arms together as they walked. He joked about it, but to Liam it was true. He wanted to make it nice for her, but really, he'd be content to hang out on the bleachers just bullshitting, and calling that a first date. To him, he just wanted her.

Liam wasn't really sure why this was different. He'd set out on this whole thing when he first met her with the intention of winning her over. A challenge. He had a long history of what most people would call serial dating. He chased the girl, he caught her, they went out, he got bored. It was how it worked. Not this time. He caught Skylar. And though she was definitely hesitant to voice it, he considered the fact that she hadn't decapitated him when he kissed her a good indication that he had in fact won her over. Liam wasn't a player by any means, it just so happened that his disinterest usually started the moment he had 'won the girl'. It was just some internal flaw he couldn't explain. He hardly did it on purpose, it just happened. But not with Skylar. He was, if anything, more interested in her now. Everytime he peeled a layer of that hard shell back, he found another one. She had caught his interest, among other things, and whether or not she knew it, she had him held pretty firmly in her grasp, and he didn't think he could walk away at this point, even if he really wanted too. Skylar had him hooked, simple as that.

-I'd have lit my roommates on fire by now...Teenage girls are annoying.

Liam let out a laugh “ Uh, Skylar, you do realize, you're a teenaged girl, right? I mean unless there is something you aren't telling me, in which case, awkward.” he grinned, squeezing her hand “ I for one like teenage girls.. or teenaged girl, more like it. Just saying, they are quite entertaining... even if I suspect there are times I don't understand them at all..

He watched as she ducked her head again, hiding a smile, which only caused his to grow. She probably had no clue how adorable that was, hell she probably had never actually been called adorable. But Liam thought it was cute, the way she hid her smiles. And of course, his ego got a boost, she liked his cupcakes, no girl could ever resist Liam cupcakes. He smiled “ Good. I'm glad I made a lot then”[/size]

------------------------------

Skylar shook her head, biting the inside of her cheek firmly to keep from smiling anymore. A slight smile was fine, but if she could help it the only way anyone would ever see her teeth would be in a snarl, not a smile. She looked up at him, smirking slightly. Yes, a smirk. Much better than a smile in her book. "Look, I know they're not the hugest things in the world, but I did have boobs, I figured you would've realized that." She reached up and poked his shoulder. It was true, they were pressed pretty close together the last time they were together, and his fingers had been inches from the hook on her bra. Just thinking about it was making her heart beat a million miles a minute.

Skylar had to look down again when she heard he made a lot of them. Whatever leftovers there were she was stealing, there was no arguing with her. She didn't eat a lot of sweets... But Liam's cupcakes were the exception. Probably all of the food he made tonight would be, because she was planning on actually well... eating. Weird, right?

Skylar looked over at Liam after she got the smile to fade slightly, and realize just how back she wanted to chew on his lip at the moment. She tucked the stems on the flowers into her pocket and suddenly pulled Liam off course and towards a building. She would've shoved him against the wall but he had a back pack on, so instead she pressed herself against the wall, and Liam towards her, yanking him by the back of his neck and kissing him very aggressively, lifting a leg up and wrapping it around his, filling the kiss with a crazy amount of passion and just general hotness.

((OOC: This is what Skylar is doing.))

------------------------------
[/color][/center]

[williamwilkins]

Liam let out a hearty laugh about her boobs comment, grinning mischievously as she poked him “ Sure, I felt them, but hey for all I know, it's just wads of toilet paper in there. I suppose one day if I'm lucky I'll see for myself and know for sure. Either way, I'm more than OK living in mystery for now.” he joked with her.

He was caught off guard when she pulled him from the path and towards a building. He was going to ask what the hell she was doing, hanging around the school building was may more likely to result in the getting caught. Though he joked about taking risks, he really would rather not spend the next few weekends in detention for breaking curfew. These thoughts were cleared swiftly from his mind when
she leaned her back against the wall, pulling him roughly towards her.

As her lips found his, kissing him deeply, detention and school rules were the last thing on his mind. All that was important was the feel of her mouth and her leg hitched up around his waist. Liam wasn't to stay a casual bystander for long, he responded to her kiss, matching her lips with his own, kissing her hard, with a sense of hunger. His hand found it's way to rest below her hip, holding her leg up around him as he pressed closer to her, while the other had his fingers in her hair, pulling her face against his.

Had actual coherent thoughts been running through his mind at that point, Liam may have pulled away, suggesting that this wasn't really the best place to be caught in a lurid embrace, that should someone be on the grounds, the two of them would be in plain sight, and would certainly be caught. As it was, all he could think about was Skylar, how hot this was, and how god damn much he wanted her. His hand itched to move lowers, to grab her ass again and pull her body tighter against his. It was a small miracle that he had enough sense to remember what happened last time he'd done that.

Slowly Liam, take it slow. he thought, reining in the desire to push her further than she would want to go. Instead he concentrated on what he was allowed to do, kiss her. He caught her lower lip, biting down, if kissing was all this was at the moment, dear god, he would make the most of it. [/size]

------------------------------

Skylar pulled his shirt up with one hand, then the other found the opening at the bottom and ran up it, her hand moving up his abs and to his chest. Damn, he had a nice body, she didn't even have to see it to know that. Though, first chance she got, his shirt was coming off. Her heart was beating, hard and fast like she'd just ran a mile, but she ignoring that, and every thing her brain was screaming at her, which was mostly to stop before he hurt her. But no, she was tired was playing safe. Liam stopped when she told him to, and while she was sure his hands wanted to go places, he kept them on her thigh and in her hair. Which is fine with her, it was actually completely hot.

Then he was biting her lip, which he probably knew him getting his shirt violently yanked off the last time that she liked it. She growled, digging her nails into his chest slightly as she wrapped the other leg around his waist, now the only thing keeping her up was the fact that he body was pressing hers into the wall. "STOP. Just.. Stop." But instead of stopping Skylar slid her hand into his shirt, her fingertips feeling his abs, stroking them back and forth. Okay, so... maybe he's "I'm hot" statements all the time were a little true, not that she was planning are telling him he was hot anytime soon.

Skylar pulled her face away from his, pulling her lip from between his teeth. She looked into his eyes for a split second, but fear that her eyes might be filled with lust made her look away, instead she began kissing along his jaw until she got to his ear. "Maybe we should stop before we get caught." She didn't sound all that convinced that stopping was the best option, and the next thing she started doing was nibbling just under his jaw, letting her teeth graze his skin but not actually biting him.

------------------------------
[/color][/center]

[williamwilkins]

Both her legs were around him now, and he'd moved his hand from her hair to help hold her up, his fingers digging into her thighs, but staying there, despite every other instinct yelling for him to do otherwise. Liam loved the feel of her hands on his chest and stomach, despite the chill in the air, his skin felt hot, actually, more like it was on fire. He wanted to rip his damn hoodie off, hers as well, just so he could feel her skin against his. But he resisted the urge. She let that happen once, but that night had freaked her out, he couldn't be the one to make that move, like last time, it would have to be up to her. And even if he was allowed to do that, which was doubtful, it would just make this so much damn harder. Because he needed to hold back. He had self control, but dear god, that would just make it painful.

He closed his eyes as she moved her lips along his jaw, it felt good, way too good. Maybe we should stop before we get caught[/color] She said into his ear, her breath tickling his skin. Stop? But he didn't want to stop. Who cares, in the long run, this was worth a bit of detention, hell this was worth a lot of detention. He felt her teeth graze along his skin, and he let out a low growl, his fingers clenching tighter int his skin. “ I think I'm ok with that.” he said, his voice rapier than normal and a little short of breath. He let one hand fall from her hip, pushed her harder against the wall so she wouldn't fall, and brought it to her face, pulling her away from his neck to capture her lips again.

He kissed her hungrily, devouring her mouth with his. He once again let his hand leave her face, this time settling on her wasit. He spread his palm wide, pushing up her shirt. Don't go for the boobs Liam.[/color] a stern voice in his head reminded him. He figured he should listen to the voice of reason and instead contented himself with running his hand on the bare skin of her stomach and back.

He was enjoying this. Way too much. And he knew Skylar was going to notice the evidence of said enjoyment soon enough. No, that would scare the crap out of her and she'd shut down. He needed to end this, other wise she'd be bolting back for the dorms and probably wouldn't speak to him for a week. He hesitantly pulled his lips from hers, trying to make his breath seem even. “ You are probably right though... we don't want detention.[/font][/size]

------------------------------

Could he feel her heart beat? It wasn't exactly slowing at all, and it was only spending up with ever move he made. Like as his fingers dug into her skin. He wanted it, Skylar knew that much. You didn't go through what she had and not realize when a man wants nothing more than a good shag. And Skylar wasn't totally convinced that she didn't want just the same thing right now. She also wasn't totally convinced she would not regret it later.

Skylar removed her hands from his shirt, straightening it out before bringing her hands up to his neck, one running into his hair while the other stayed on his neck, her fingertips moving along his jawline. They were shaking, though she was trying really hard to calm herself down, it was hard when a guys shirt was sliding inside of your shirt. She never stopped kissing back, though. She just kept kissing, helping her heart would slow down, and her hands would stop shaking.

Then Liam was pulling away, and she had a chance to breath. She'd expected his hand to go straight to her boob, but it didn't. He was trying not to scare her off, and while she kinda thought it would be nice if he just jumped into the deep end and see where it ended up with him, she guessed she understand. What with the threats on his life and all.

"You are probably right though... we don't want detention."

She didn't bother mentioning the fact that she already had detention, and it wasn't looking to lighten up anytime soon. People didn't like it when you almost threw their students down stairwells.. Who knew. Skylar wrapped her arms around his neck and unwrapped her legs, standing back up. She ran a hand into his hair at the back, then pulled him in, kissing him softly on the lips for a second or two before pulling away again. She wasn't sure what to say to a guy after.. that. She'd never had to say anything afterwards.. Josh just left. Skylar chewed up her lip, and ran her hand through his hair a few times, almost like she was grooming him, deciding she'd let him talk first.

------------------------------
[/color][/center]

[williamwilkins]

Liam wasn't sure if he was happy or not when Skylar listened to him and dropped her legs from around his waist. No, that's a lie. He was definitely not happy. He would have loved for her to ignore him and just keep making out. But, at the same time, he knew logically it was the better thing to do. He smiled down at her as she rand her hands through his hair. Actually, that was nice too, just in a different way. A safe way, that wasn't likely to get him too excited. He could easily handle this.

Skylar was being quiet, chewing her lip and just looking at him. He smiled a little, bringing his hand up and putting a finger on her bottom lip so she'd stop chewing at it. “You keep that up, and it's going to start bleeding... and I'll throw up. Which will be a really shitty thing to do on a date, so better to be avoided.” He said jokingly. “ Actually, would probably be best to avoid it all the time.”.

He moved his hand and leaned forward, kissing her gently, nothing like the last kiss, just a nice, simple press of his lips on hers. Smiling, he stepped away from her, reaching down and taking her hand again and starting off in the direction they'd been heading before she'd pulled them off course. God, that had been hot. Wicked hot. He didn't want to embarrass her, oddly Skylar seemed easily flustered by these kinds of things, so he wouldn't actually say it out loud, but Liam definitely appreciated. “ So aside from the little detour, I think we're still on track for this thing. I think that'll be the perfect spot.” he said pointing to a little grove of trees behind the soccer field. “ Should keep us out of sight from any wandering eyes.” he dropped her hand with a smile. “ Race you there?” he grinned, before taking off towards the trees.[/size]

------------------------------

The level four released her lip, looking at Liam. She wondered if he noticed her lack of red. Skylar ran the tip of her tongue along the inside of her lip where she'd been biting, tasting the familiar metallic taste of blood. She figured she wouldn't tell Liam she was already bleeding, and would just drink something before she kissed him again... She really wanted to kiss him again. "How it fair that you can bite my lip.. but I can't? I think I have more of I right to than you, it is my lip."

Skylar was glad she stopped. Now, after stepping away from it, she realized how much he was turning her on, and how she'd been.. seconds from suggesting what would involve him being without pants. Of course hers would remain on, unless he kept doing all the things he'd been doing, then they would have both been naked. Skylar reminded herself that she needed to cool it, and not let herself feel like... that again. She and Liam were on the first date, she couldn't go around ripping off his clothing... Okay so every above the waist she probably would, and maybe undo his belt at the most.. but nothing past that.

Skylar listened to Liam talk, then looked off to where he was pointing. That seems fairly reasonable, wanting to be off to the side and out of sight. Liam was smarter than he pretended to be. Then he was letting go of her hand, and she looked back at him. He was smiling, and holy shit was it sexy. He wasn't making this any easier on her. Then he was suggesting a race, and running off. Then Skylar took off, pushing her legs and body further until she zoomed past him, glancing back with a smile on her face before looking forward again and running full out. No way she was letting him beat her a second time.

Liam smiled as she bolted past him. The girl was certainly fast, he would give her that. He liked that he didn't have to slow down and let her win, she was doing a damn good job of that on her own. Liam pumped his long legs harder, shortening the distance between them. As he got closer, he tried to put out another burst of speed to overtake her, but he couldn't, she was too fast. He could pace with her, but he wasn't sure he'd actually be able to pass her. He reached out his long arms out and caught her around the waist, slowing them both down as he lifted her from the ground. She must only weigh like 100 pounds. She needed to put some meat on those scrawny bones,

He carried her, squirming in his arms the last few steps, making sure to put her down just behind him. He turned, now in the shelter of the trees with a big grin “ Looks like I won” he joked. “ Granted, I needed to cheat, but I'm oddly ok with that.” Before she could say anything, he pulled her towards him, kissing her quickly. As he pulled away from her, he licked his lips. “ Ugh. Blood. I knew you'd cut up your lip chewing on it” He turned away from her, spitting on the ground to get the taste from his mouth. Oddly enough, his nausea was usually inspired by the sight of blood. The taste was horrible, but didn't make him want to hurl.

When he was satisfied that the blood was gone frmom his mouth, he went about the business of setting up for the picnic. He swung the back pack off his shoulder, setting it on the grass and kneeling down to open it. The first thing he pulled out was a blanket, one he'd had to steal from his bed, but it would do. He Stood back up and spread out the comforter on the ground before sitting down on it. He pulled the flashlight out next, turning it on and setting it down on it's base, so that it was shining up into the sky. Not really the same as a candle, but it would work. He then smiled up at Skylar, patting the spot next to him. “ Take a seat, or are you going to make me look up at you all night? He grinned, holding out his hand to help her down.[/size]
