Loose Lips

[Cole Gregory Orican]

Cole went into his unpacked room, currently shirtless since he just left from the workout room. The layout of the house was still a little confusing to him so he lost track of where his room was really easily. He was extremely social and all, but sometimes a guy just needs some time to reflect and work on his biceps. Usually Cole had yardwork that did this job for him back home but, on a televised reality show like this one, he wasn't really expected to do much, except relax. He didn't really have a clue what to do with himself, usually he'd hang out but he was just blessed to know where his room was, and plus the impression it would have given off for him to walk around half naked wasn't one he wanted to give off.

He went off by his dresser drawer to find a clean shirt to put on for himself. As he looked for one, he thought about what he was going to do after. There wasn't much available due to the little detail that he couldn't exactly leave the place for a while, but there were no worries on his part, the experience has been pretty interesting so far. He settled on a baby blue shirt with the phrase 'kind of perfect' in white block letters. He looked at it first and wondered what possesed him to bring a shirt like that with him her. A shirt was a shirt to him, so he packed pretty much whatever fit his body.

He put the shirt over his head and wore it. Once that extremely daunting task was complete he walked over to his door still with no clue on where he was planning on even going.

[Aria Mastodon]

Aria was bored. Actually, she was beyond bored. She wanted to do her laundry, but felt like that was too much of a task. Her legs ached to run, but she didn't really feel like moving from her bed. She settled on a Jane Austen book, Pride and Prejudice, and fell into the arms of Mr. Darcy and Lizzy's love for one another. She should have brought some of her movies with her, but sadly, she only brought The Jane Austen Book Club and Pride and Prejudice. None of the other, almost replicated versians with Colin Firth or Hugh Grant or Alan Rickman. This saddened her greatly. She was in mood for some pleasing old fashioned romance movies.

Turning page after page, she finally decided to give her brain a rest and wonder out of the area that was her sleeping room. Visiting the bathroom first, she looked through the medicine cabinet. She had a headache from reading so long. Finding what she wanted, Aria wondered into the hallway of rooms.

Her mind was distracted, fighting over if Mr. Darcy was good enough for Mr. Bennet's lovely Lizzy or if there was something more to the relationship than what met the eye. One second too fast and a blink of the eye, Aria bounded headfirst into a baby blue shirt that read, "Kind of Perfect."

This wasn't something she normally met head first with and she had met a lot of clumsy things. Smiling up at the owner, she realized it was Cole. "Heh, forgot my footing!"

Standing to her feet, she waved her whole arm in front of Cole's face. She was happy she ran into someone, but she noticed she was now missing the medicine.

Cole walked out of his room, heading for the living room since that's where everyone was probably hanging out, when he ran into someone. He felt a rush to his chest and before he even figured out who he was he felt horrible for it and apologized immensely. "I'm so sorry! I'm not usually this-" He then looked real quick and realized it was Aria who interjected as he was talking, which wasn't all that odd for her.

He looked off to the side a bit and noticed a bottle of pills that landed on the ground. He walked over and grabbed them, in plain sight. "Party of one, reservation Aria?" He asked with a slight smirk. He eyed her and then glanced over at the bottle and realized she wasn't doing anything that hard like he assumed. But when in New York, do as the intense partiers of NYC right? The thought of that wasn't very appealing to Cole..

[Aria Mastodon]

Aria smiled widely and tried grabbing at the pill bottle. "Cole, I'm here to fill in that reservation! And you are so not sorry." She stuck her tongue out at him and bounded for the pill bottle, arm out stretched to the fullest. She knew she wasn't the tallest girl, but still, she expected her five-foot-nine-inch body to at least cover some of Cole's mass. Since she wasn't getting anywhere, she decided to use a defensive tack-tick.

"Huggles! Glomp!" Instantly, her arms were around Cole, invading his personal space in a totally offensive way. She tucked her head into his chest, hoping he wouldn't hit her in a way to get her off. Besides, it wasn't like she was trying to get high off of the pills; she merely had a little headache that was currently MIA. She didn't like that, not at all. Aria thought about feigning illness, but decided to go with past tense when and if he asked.

[Cole Gregory Orican]

He found Aria to be completely hilarious right now and whenever she wasn't trying to beat his ass, so he played along. He tried to be all parental figure-ish as he wagged his index finger at Aria while holding the bottle up with his other hand. " tsk. tsk. Aria! What would your mother say?" He laughed as he lowered his hand and gave her the bottle of pills.

"I'm assuming your conflicting feelings about whether you love me for eternity or forever are causing you a form of stress." He added with a teasing smirk, then he quickly turned his shoulder and coughed during that little smile which indefinitely ruined the fun he was trying to make. "I'm still alive." He added, "in case my health was a top concern to you." He liked to get a little fiesty with Aria and say things he wouldn't normally say to other people just for the fact that it was fun. Cole was usually a southern gentleman, if indiana counted as southern.

[Aria Mastodon]

She poked him on the nose. "It was hugo, major, enormous! concern of mine that your health be in top shape. Don't you know that coughing was a sign of the beginnings of the plague? That's why people would say, 'God Bless You' so that the person saying wouldn't get the plague nor would you would...hopefully."

She stared at the pill bottle; she really didn't need it now. Her headache was gone. Aria continued to stare at the bottle. Wow, she thought. It was pshycological.

Turning her enormous wide eyes to Cole, batting her eyes behind her black bangs, she asked innocently, "Do you think medicine is meant to pshcologically cool you down? I mean, they must work for something, but couldn't they give everyone one pill, say it works for one thing and another and yet still get away with it? Or are there really big nasty disease out there?"

Aria had long since let go of Cole , her arms sitting at her sides. She wore a peasant white skirt with a yellow, satin tank top with hemp shoes. Aria would have carried around her matching yellow shawl if it hadn't been about a million degrees outside. She hated major cities; the green house effect increased what all that exhaust felt like on her skin. Why did she sign up for this show again? Was it more for the fact that she would meet interesting people or was it that she needed a place to stay for a while until she could handle herself? She couldn't remember if money was involved or not, but she didn't care. Aria was happy with Cole and that's all that mattered to her as of this moment.

[Cole Gregory Orican]

He looked over Aria for a minute and couldn't help but playfully roll his eyes. She asked the most random things at the oddest times, especially things that I don't have any clue about. "Meds do what they do." He didn't know the first thing about medicine, after all he was just a waiter in a little town. Well now... a contestant on a reality show that's on one of the biggest cities in America.

"All I know is someone takes a pill and they magically feel better." He started to walk away from the bedrooms and towards where more people were just to see if Aria would follow him. As he walked he talked, he had some amazing talents and walking and talking while chewing gum was an interesting one.

Once he was probably a foot away he added, "Like when I'm moving and not standing around like a dead frog on a log, I feel a thousand times better. The ways of life are interesting aren't they?" He laughed at how philosophical that sounded. And tried to subtely look behind him to see if Aria was there, of course he failed and almost lost his footing. Oh the luck....
