@CoEdClaire *sips her coffee* Most of the time, no, you can't. *grins* I'm glad we're on this one together, though.
@CoEdClaire *smiles* Sometimes, normal is good. How's your waffle?
@CoEdClaire Mmm hmmm. I'm ready to get into the sun, though.
@CoEdClaire Definitely. I can't wait to see you in a bikini!
@CoEdClaire I bet I'll have to beat the guys off with a stick.
@CoEdClaire Fine... then maybe you'll have to keep them away from me, because I brought a new bikini too.
@CoEdClaire Yep... green to bring out the hazel in my eyes. Wanna see?
@CoEdClaire *giggles, runs into the bedroom and changes quickly, then comes back out* What do you think?
@CoEdClaire (Did you miss my last reply?)
@CoEdClaire Yeah? It's not too... revealing?
@CoEdClaire *grins* Good, that's what matters to me. Come on, get changed!
@CoEdClaire I'll clean up while you get ready.
@CoEdClaire *clears the table and cleans up, then starts hunting for some sunscreen*
@CoEdClaire *stares, speechless*
@CoEdClaire *crosses the room and kisses her, hard* You look amazing.
@CoEdClaire Exactly what went through my mind when I saw you. *grabs two towels* Did you bring sunscreen? I can't find any.
@CoEdClaire *growls, struggling to keep her hands to herself* Thanks babe.
@CoEdClaire *tries to act innocent* I'm fine.
@CoEdClaire Sweet! Okay, let's go.
@CoEdClaire *walks with her hand in hand down to the beach, finding two empty chairs and laying their towels on them* This is so beautiful!
@CoEdClaire *hands her the sunscreen* Can you get my back? *winks*
@CoEdClaire What? I don't want to get sunburned! *lays on her stomach*
@CoEdClaire I'll do yours too. *turns her head to the side, grinning*
@CoEdClaire Your front too, if you want. *smirks*
@CoEdClaire I bet those guys over there would like to see it. *nods to 3 guys a little ways away from them*
@CoEdClaire Relax, I was just kidding.
@CoEdClaire *sits up* Here, turn around.
@SullivanShadow Hey!
@CoEdClaire *carefully rubs sunscreen on her, careful not to miss a spot* See? I can behave.
@SullivanShadow Yeah. Claire and I are in Cancun for spring break.
@CoEdClaire *kisses her shoulder* You better.
@SullivanShadow It's great. Exactly what I needed.
@SullivanShadow It's not going to last forever. We agreed that after this week is over... it's over between us.
@SullivanShadow I don't have a choice.
@SullivanShadow I don't know if I'll be in the mood to go out...
@SullivanShadow Just for a little while. Just until I can go out without thinking of her.
@SullivanShadow We'll see what happens. But thanks for not giving up on me.
@SullivanShadow I haven't told her yet, but I think the only way I'm going to be able to do it is if I don't see or talk to her for a while.
@SullivanShadow I'm afraid she'll never be out of my mind. But at least I won't have to see her and not be able to touch her.
@SullivanShadow I know. Nothing lasts forever. I just hoped this would last longer.
@SullivanShadow If they have forever, why can't he let her be with me now?
@SullivanShadow How old? What do you know about him?
@SullivanShadow I just... I do want her to be happy. If that's with him... I'll have to live with it.
@SullivanShadow I'm just trying to enjoy this week, and not think about later. These memories... they'll have to last for a long time.
@SullivanShadow In that case, I'm putting this phone down and going for a swim!
@CoEdClaire I'm hot. Time for a dip?
@CoEdClaire *walks slowly into the ocean, jumping over waves, until finally diving into one to get past the breakers*
@CoEdClaire *treads water, looking around for Claire*
@CoEdClaire *swims after her, giggling*
@CoEdClaire Hey, we've been here almost a full day, and haven't had any margaritas yet!
@CoEdClaire Not until I've done this! *splashes her*
@CoEdClaire *laughs, swimming away before she can splash back*
@CoEdClaire *dives under, heading back to grab at Claire's feet*
@CoEdClaire *pops up behind her* Why not?
@CoEdClaire Claire... you can't!
@CoEdClaire Sure... I'm sorry. I was just trying to be playful.
@CoEdClaire *is following Claire back to shore when a wave takes her by surprise, pulling her under*
@CoEdClaire *gets manhandled by the wave and finally dumped out onto the beach, coughing up water*
@CoEdClaire *still trying to catch her breath* Stupid... wave... pulled me under...
@CoEdClaire I scraped my knees on the sand... and I think my ego might be bruised.
@CoEdClaire *looks at her with surprised* You can do that?
@CoEdClaire Help me up? *reaches out her hand* How can you heal me?
@ebrown2112 Hi
@edenpersuasion Here's your drabble! http://bit.ly/b98Yh9
@CoEdClaire Okay. *yelps in pain when she tries to walk* I must have turned my ankle, dammit!
@CoEdClaire I think so, just help me. *limps over to the chairs and grabs their towels*
@CoEdClaire *laughs a little* Is that my new nickname? I think I like it better than brat.
@CoEdClaire *limps along, holding onto Claire, until they finally get back up to the room* I can't believe you can heal me.
@CoEdClaire You know, I tend to faint when I see blood. *sits down on the bed, laying a towel down first since she's wet*
@CoEdClaire What are you going to do?
@CoEdClaire *nods* I trust you. *closes her eyes, a little scared*
@CoEdClaire *jumps at the touch, then gasps in surprise when the pain in her knee starts to go away* It's working!
@CoEdClaire I'll be okay, it already feels a little better.
@CoEdClaire *opens one eye and looks at her, definitely not looking down* What would you have to do?
@CoEdClaire *sees the knife in her hand* What if you cut my ankle? Then you could use you hand like you did with my knees.
@CoEdClaire *is pretty curious to see if it would work* I don't know... probably not.
@CoEdClaire *nods, propping it up on the bed* Maybe we should put ice on it.
@CoEdClaire *stands up on her good leg and pulls off her wet suit, wrapping the towel around her instead before climbing into the bed*
@CoEdClaire I'm so sorry about this. I'm such a klutz.
@CoEdClaire *takes the ice from her, wrapping it around her ankle* Claire... in the water, why did you get mad at me?
@CoEdClaire *laughs* I guess I learned that today, didn't I? There were hardly even any pools where I grew up... Brazil was the first time -
@CoEdClaire I've been in the ocean.
@CoEdClaire *smiles sadly* I guess I won't always have you around to heal me, will I?
@CoEdClaire *runs her fingers through Claire's hair* It's going to be so hard, you know.
@CoEdClaire *closes her eyes, resting her forehead against Claire's* I hope you're right. I don't feel that strong. I feel... scared.
@CoEdClaire Being alone again. Of... never getting over you. Of not being able to let you go.
@CoEdClaire You're special, Claire. I may meet someone else eventually... but they won't be you.
@CoEdClaire Why can't you believe that? You have two people madly in love with you, and you don't think you're special?
@CoEdClaire Sometimes, I'm not sure it's worth it either. Then other times... I wouldn't trade what we've had for anything.
@CoEdClaire *wraps her arms around Claire* I like it too. But... it's going to take me a while. Before we can be friends again. You know -
@CoEdClaire that, right? I'm not... I won't be able to see you or talk to you for a while.
@CoEdClaire *sighs* It's the only way I can see it possibly working. I wish it didn't have to be this way.
@CoEdClaire I think.... I want to take a nap now.
@CoEdClaire *nods and rolls over, trying to hide her tears*
@CoEdClaire I'll be okay. *doesn't sound at all convincing*
@CoEdClaire But for right now... I'm not. *her shoulders start to shake with restrained sobs*
@CoEdClaire Just... hold me. Until I fall asleep.
@CoEdClaire *clings to Claire's arms around her* I didn't want you to see me like this. I wanted this week to be perfect.
@CoEdClaire *shakes her head* No, no I don't want to go home. I need this. I... I just got overwhelmed for a minute.
@CoEdClaire *nods, closing her eyes and taking Dean's advice - just push the feelings down. And when they come back up, push harder.*
