Hearing Pete's voice Katie looks over her shoulder at him giving him a weary looking. Seeing him laughing and than Susanne coming over she new this had to do with something he was doing, or had said.
"Why you little..."
Katie stops her sentence as Jason's sudden laugh can be felt, and she realized what it was. Squint her eyes at Pete Katie lets a little irritation through but follows it up with a laugh to show she found the good humor in it.
I though you were on my side....no kisses for you!
Looking back to Pete Katie sticks her toung out again at Pete and a smile forming in her eyes that she really did find humor still in the whole thing.
"When your least expecting it Pete, You will get whats coming to you...oh yes you will."
Just standing there in the infirmary watching the door swing shut Misty gives a smile. Getting lost in a stair for a moment. It would be nice to have Alec and his girlfriend over for dinner. Maybe even play some games as a family or something. It sounded good to her and she'd throw it past Carson tonight and see what he thought.
Saying a little prayer and starting to eat the meal it tasted so good, and even a little better sharing it with a friend. The conversation staying light was nice, and hearing about Phil and the things in his life was nice to. She like getting to know her new friend.
"Yeah, life has a way of doing that. Taking the people we found ourself closest to and spreading us apart. Least you still have your family though right?"
Rayne gives a smile before looking out at the soft rolling water again. The cool breeze blowing softly the air still warm.
"I always think about calling my parents to see how they are, but I know they wouldn't talk to me. I guess it saved a little heartache not calling at all. Maybe some day I will though. Whats your family like Phil?"
7/28/10
Only if...
Holding in a laugh, Pete quietly stands up from his desk and leans on the cubicle wall, looking down at Katie as she jumps and gasps. "Hey, Kat, you alright? Got ants in your pants or what?"
Just then, Susanne walks by and pauses, seeing a peculiar look on Katie's face. "You okay?"
"No, she's not," Pete confirms. "I think she's having some sort of mild seizures. Better get her a glass of water."
Susanne blinks, pretty sure he was kidding but having no idea what's going on.
As some negativity comes back at Jason, he can't hold back the humor he felt any longer. He'd been holding it at bay ever since he'd started pricking himself with a sharp paperclip, as per Pete's last IM. As soon as Jason releases his thoughts and emotions again, he knows Katie will know exactly what he'd been up to and he starts to laugh.
Don't look at me. Look at your neighbor. It was his idea.
Seeing Katie relax again, Pete snickers and looks back to Susanne. "Never mind. I think she's cured. Oh, but watch your back - she throws a mean curveball."
Misty's invitation takes Alec off guard and he just stares at her for a moment. Dinner? As in socialize? The most Alec ever did was hang out with Eli and Ryan, and people at the races but that was entirely different. Misty was inviting him into their home.
Scratching the back of his head, he thinks for a moment, feeling strangely awkward. "Um... okay... maybe. If... If Ryan wants to, I guess..." He shrugs. "Sure. But... only if Carson wants me there." It wasn't Misty that Alec was worried about - it was his own brother.
Finally standing up, he wanders towards the door, pausing for a moment to look over his shoulder. "Thanks, um... for patching me up."
And then he's gone, the infirmary door falling softly shut.
Phil smiles at Rayne and nods, his eyes searching hers. "Yeah... yeah it is a nice feeling."
Just watching her for a few more moments, he finally moves to start their picnic lunch. Conversation flows easily - everything from the weather, water, family, music to jobs. There just wasn't any awkwardness and Phil could have fooled himself into believing he'd known Rayne for years.
Once they're finished eating, they sit for a while until Phil suggests walking down onto the beach. Strolling through the sand, he winds up taking off his shoes and rolling up his jeans to walk just far enough to feel the water over his feet.
Grinning, he looks over to Rayne. "Kyle, Mike and I used to have swimming races out here. Kyle was always the one to win - Jen would call him a fish all the time." He stretches out his foot and skims the water with his toes. His tone grows a little more thoughtful... perhaps a bit of melancholy shone through. "I guess things change, huh? Kyle's got his own stuff going on now... Jen's got her life... if it weren't for JetStream, I might not even see Mike and Jason that much."
Just then, Susanne walks by and pauses, seeing a peculiar look on Katie's face. "You okay?"
"No, she's not," Pete confirms. "I think she's having some sort of mild seizures. Better get her a glass of water."

Calming Feeling
Still snicking to herself Katie trys to work the best she can as things fall silent again except for the clicking of keys. Starting to feel a strange sensation though Katie gives a little jump. It was like something nipped at Jason because it certainly wasn't her.
Jason...whats going on? Are you ok?
Feeling another prick again Katie gives a jump and a little gasp in. Its not so much that it hurt, only that it was uncomfortable and annoying. Giving another jump Katie lets her own discomfort flow to Jason.
Giving a small smile at Alec Misty felt confidant that he had listens to what she said and at least some of it had sunk in. She was happy Alec had talked to her too and than maybe just maybe they had grown a little close. Even if he was only Carson's half brother he was still her brother in law and she wanted to be there for him.
"Your not so bad yourself. Let yourself heal a little before you get into any more fights ok? That cut was close to you eye, down a little farther and you could of lost it."
Pushing off the counter and standing when Alec does Misty gives him a nod. Today had turned out alright after all. Hearing his last comment Misty thinks for a moment before answering.
"No, they don't really but you haven't given them any reason to really have ya? Maybe once this whole mess is take care of..."
Misty points to Alec's leg.
"...and you wont get tackles going out the front door, you can come over for dinner, and bring your girl alone, and I'll invite Dani and Dalton over, and we can start twords giving them a reason to see what I see. Would you like that?"
Sitting in the shade with Phil and looking our across the beach and the water Rayne just takes everything in. It was so pretty, and though there was some laughter from far away with other people it seemed to add to the quiet peace.
"Mmm...I would have to say this is perfect."
Looking to Phil and giving a smile Rayne leans back on her arms and takes in a deep breath of the nice fresh air. She'd never been this close to a water front and never enjoyed it before. But being with Phil just seemed to bring a calm that was nice.
"I'm really happy God brought us together. It's nice having someone around that I know and has the same love for God as me. It's a nice calming feeling."
Jason...whats going on? Are you ok?
