Supposed to call again?

Feeling Destiny cuddle up close to him, Chance turns his head a little to just study her for a moment while she watched television. Away from her, he was in control and knew right where he was headed. But as soon as he was around her again, it seemed she was all he could focus on. How did she do it? He was losing his concentration and needed to gain it back. But...

Getting a whiff of Destiny's shampoo, he closes his eyes and leans over closer. He might as well enjoy it while she was here, right?

Gaining back his silly grin, it takes one quick movement to get his arm around Destiny and push her onto her back on the couch cushions, staring down at her with mischief in his eyes. "There's lots of commercials before the movie comes on," he reasons.

Keeping his weight on his arms he leans in closer and kisses her lips, enjoying the moment with her after their long day.

The phone suddenly rings. Chance groans and doesn't want to release Destiny from his kiss. "I'm... not getting up," he mumbles.

It keeps ringing, used because Chance had already turned off his cell phone earlier, and the caller had not tolerated reaching his voice mail. Unfortunately, they get the answering machine this time too.

After a few more rings, Chance is totally ignoring it, paying more attention to Destiny than anything else, the movie commercials still rolling before getting to the movie menu.

The answering machine beeps. "O'Mally, this is Toby. For crying out loud, where are you?!"

Chance's head snaps up, his weight accidentally resting on top of Destiny as his eyes widen a little.

Toby's voice continues. "I have been waiting all day - if you can't report like you're supposed to, so help me, you won't have your desk when you get back. Call me!"

Chance cringes, almost able to hear Toby slam down the receiver. "Dang." He sighs, miserable that his moment with Destiny had been broken. "He never gives up." He shakes his head. "So I was supposed to call him again once I got back here. The man has no patience."

Rolling his eyes, Chance stays lying where he is, looking down into Destiny's eyes. "Why do people always have to interrupt fun?"


Danitza perks up and watches the stick in Beth's hand. As soon as it flies, she takes off running, scrambling through the grass to find it. It takes her a few seconds, but once she locates it, she grabs it and comes trotting back to Beth, offering it to her again for another round.

Back and forth, Danitza doesn't tire of the game, seeming to enjoy someone who would pay attention to her. Zora wanders close a few times, but instead of joining in, she winds up sitting near Justin, content to watch him fish than run around with Danitza.

Justin continues to fish, keeping the corner of his eye on Beth and his dog. A smile creases his lips, though he says nothing, just letting them play. After catching a few more fish, he finds his backpack and pulls out an energy bar. Zora hears the wrapper and is instantly nosing around his backpack, making Justin laugh. "Now, come on, quit... you know this isn't yours." She tries to sniff the bar and he takes it closer. "Naw, I mean it. Back off... your supper will come later."

Hearing the little commotion nearby, Danitza stops by Beth, panting and turns to see what's going on. Cocking her head, she recognizes the rattling of the wrapper too and she licks her chops.

Justin, still kneeling at his backpack, holds up a second bar and waves it to Beth. "Want an energy bar? Been a while since lunch..."


"Mmm...." Ty grins and leans back, scooting down so Libby can rest on top of him to watch the television. His hand runs through his hair as he gives a contented sigh. Libby really was the only friend he did much with, even more than Wyatt. He knew he'd be seeing a lot of Libby even when she moved out.

"Oh... I talked to Rick today..." Ty bites his lip. "He um... he's gonna take a look at me tomorrow... he and Misty got some machine or something to watch something in my brain or... or something like that." He swallows hard, his hand stopping its motion. "You uh.... you wanna come?"
