Roxie Carriveau
The emotions that were stirring inside of Roxie were mixed and clashed with one another violently as the pair swayed in that simple, yet sweet way to the music. He seemed to have a good ear for what they were hearing and Roxie agreed with his views on the band. The song was changing and with it too Syd seemed to be going farther and farther away from her. She could see it, the hollowness that formed in those soulful blues...Her eyes carefully watched as he then closed his own. Roxie wished to know what he was thinking then, it was hard to read his face but she sensed something was up. Delicately, she lifted her hands to slowly move their way up his chest, not wanting to startle him. Before she could ask what was wrong, the man slowly opened his eyes. Roxie was so confused. Suddenly her hands were pulled forward and she fell against him almost limply.
Again, she wanted to speak but was silenced by him, speaking to her in such a serious tone. There was hesitation and Roxie opened her mouth, "Syd, what-?" Cut off, she pulled away from him slightly. Now it was clear of what was happening. Roxie let herself relax into him as he continued the kiss and when it was over, she was unable to keep the large smile that was growing on her face away. Syd's words surprised her, causing the woman to gasp lightly. Without saying another word, Roxie nodded her head gently with a sly bite to her lip. Pulling away from his chest, she kept his hands in hers before leading him away from the record player...
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Roxie stared up at the pure white ceiling above her, trying to find something wrong with it. Really, she was trying to find something wrong with what just happened. Blinking slowly, she sucked in a deep breath, letting the air fill her lungs until she thought she couldn't inhale any longer before letting out a slow and content sigh. Head turning, she looked to Syd who was laying beside her and she smiled for what seemed like the billionth time since he arrived at her apartment. Her cheeks were actually starting to hurt but there was doubt slowly crawling inside of her chest, like it always did with these types of things. Roxie wanted to know desperately what was going on inside of his head but she wasn't the one to just outright ask. You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

His face didn't reveal much and she wondered how long it took him to master such a skill. Roxie tended to be an open book, a big messy mushy book that when provoked turns into an angry crying mushy book. To put it short, she was a crier when it comes to two basic emotions: sadness and anger. "Soooo..." She murmured out before flipping the sheets off of her and moving out of bed. "I believe this is the part where I raid your closet for a dress shirt and you smoke a cigar in bed." Her tone was teasing, but she was on the hunt for a dress shirt, which she easily found folded neatly in a drawer nearby. "Are you a cigar smoker? I've never liked the smell but it reminds me of a much simpler time." She was rambling. Shrugging the white long dress shirt on, she made and effort to cover herself up by buttoning from the bottom. But as her thoughts went back to finding a flaw in all of this, she found her eyes moving up to stare at Syd from across the room. He was perfect. Those eyes...the tousled hair, he seemed to be hitting the gym, not that the last one mattered. Nothing was wrong with him and as she made her way closer, she was almost convinced there was nothing wrong with him. That was until new and damning evidence made itself known. Who was that on the nightstand? The woman's eyes only took a quick glance but it was enough to know that it was another younger woman. This caused something to almost itch in the back of her head and before she really understood, her eyes looked to his hands.
And there it was.
The one flaw. The one thing she could find that would make this whole thing end. That ring. It was unmistakably on his left ring finger. This had Roxie swallowing hard as she moved to sit on the bed. At the end, she sat with her legs out, just casually sitting as she returned her stare to look at him. "You okay?" She asked suddenly.
