Damien Stark

Damien smiled and noticed what his friend got and nods. He pointed to something in a case and theye's nod. He pays for it and walks out with his friend." Let's go see if the ladies are ready to go." He walked with his friend he had the velvet box in his pocket. He smiled when he saw the girls walking up. He pulled Mara to him in a small hug." Hello Beautiful, I missed you did you miss me?" He said and winked. "Let's go dress and go to the after party." He said. he smiles and they went to the car. When they got home. The men went to dress and so did the ladies. Damien and Hyder went to wait down stairs when dressed. He smiled when He saw Mara. She was beautiful and gorgeous" Oh wow you look amazing." He said and held a hand out to her.

Elthrial Mortelle

Elthrial laughed," Actually why not," She said. she took the pink dress off the rack. She went to try it on. She really did like it, she got the shoes to match. She smiled and payed for it. She wanted to suprise Hyde so she put it in a paper bag. She would be Glinda, she however kinda liked being the bad witch Elphaba. They met up with the guys and she wrapped ligently around her man." Let's go change." She said. they went to get in the car and go home. She fixed her hair into ringlets and put on the pink dress. She also put on the shoes and fixed her make up to something light. Her and Mara had planned it all she want pink eye shadow and Mara were green with her green dress. She made her way out of the apartment last and locked the door as she walked slowly down the steps. She smiled when she saw hyder.
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]Wrapping his arms around her andd carrying her bags back to the car, Hyder kissed her cheek quickly before getting in and driving back to the apartment... which the lease was nearly up on so much of the belongings were being put in boxes until the four of them figured out if they wanted to renew the contract or find places on their own. Something the four of them would have to talk about seriously after graduating... after all, that would only leave three weeks to make a final descision. Changing into a simple get-up, Hyder was glad it was just an after party and not a high-end event that he really only had one outfit for... Upon seeing his gorgeous girlfriend, Hyder couldn't help smiling ... and then laughing as Mara joined them. The girls had apparently planned out a little theme that totally fit them... then again, maybe this was how El was telling them she had decided to take the audtiton for Wicked, which would make him so happy. "You both look beautiful, hopefully we'll live up to your standards" he smiled, holding a bent arm out to Elthrial so she could link her arm with his as he escorted her to the party.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]Laughing as her friend agreed, Mara smiled and shrugged the dress actually was really nice and quite comfortable... besides, it would give her an excuse to wear those green heels that her little sister had gotten for her for her birthday last year. Buying the dress she finished getting ready and threading the crystal strings through her thick hair. Mara walked down and inadvertantly found herself wrapped around Damien as she stumbled forward, catching herself on him. She was usually graceful, but also a klutz. "You clean up nice" she smiled, kissing him quick as the group left for the party of the year.[/fieldbox]​
 
Elthrial Mortelle
Elthrial had walked down the steps the pink dress fit perfectly. She smiled at Hyde and winked at him." You think" She asked and turned for him to see." She smiled," Trust me the shoes are off as soon as I can." She winked at Hyde and walked to the party with him. When they got their She stuck to Hyde like glue, she was not a party person, she was the girl who was always working. She looked at Hyde." So I think I want to call that agent Monday and go for the audition. Though I would really like you to come with me." She said. She bit her lip hoping he say yes. Also now that they were to be graduated, if she didn't get the part what would she do for the summer? She wasn't use to not being busy or having extra dance things during the summer. Sure she could go to a studio and pay for it, but she kinda wanted to spend her summer relaxing for nice that would get old. She was freaking out inside. She wasn't sure she knew what to do after college if she didn't get the audition sure they were told the world is an open door after college. she hadn't realized she gone quite and her teeth worrying her bottom lip. She snapped back when Hyde lifted her chin asking if she was okay." Oh yeah just thinking" she said.

Damien Stark
Damien saw his wicked beautiful girlfriend." Thank you, your beautiful." He said. He caught her and winked. They walked to the party. He smiled at her and nods to the bar he looked at his girlfriend and at the others." Will be back with drinks man." He said to Hyde. He looked at Mara and walked to the bar." Well so we're doe with school and the show, what we gonna do now? El seems terrified." He said to her." I think after graduation we should all go to a beach and spend some time in the sun." He said and looked at mara." What you think beautiful?" He asked
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]In response to her questioning his compliment, Hyde simply rested a kiss on top of her head and walked to the party with his favorite people, thankful that it was close. When they got to the party it reminded him more of a college house party than an after party but he didn't mind much. Headed for the buffet table, Hyder got them both a drink, leaving Mara and Damien to their own vices since he wasn't sure where they had disappeared to. As the couple danced and tried to enjoy the party, Hyde was glad to see that at some point rather early a good amount of folks had left and there was more space. When El brought up taking the audition he smiled and spun her around in a quick circle "Thank God. I thought you wouldn't take it and end up hurting yourself. It is such an amazing opportunity... and of course I'll go and supprt you babe" he smiled, resting his forehead on hers, briefly. After a few moments he noticed Elthrial seemed to be off in her own world once again. Lifting her chin up with two fingers so they could look at each other he gave her a gentle, half smile. "Everything alright beautiful?" he asked. As she responded he pursed his lips lightly but didn't push it. Instead he let go of his beautiful partner and took a half step backwards. "Hey, I have something for you. I hope you like it" he said warmly, pulling a small black box out of his pocket and opening it up to her, presenting her with one of the promise rings that his friend had pointed out, saying she might like, earlier that day.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]"The beach sounds lovely" Mara agreed as they leaned against the bar, Mara rested her head on his shoulder lightly. "Ya know, I have to take my annual trip to Russia again, do you want to come?" she asked softly, knowing that would take at least a month of the summer and as much as she adored her family and was anticipating being reunited with the family who still lived in Minnesota along with her extended family she couldn't fathom being away from Damien that long... she couldn't realieve fathom being away from any of them that long... but especially not her boyfriend.[/fieldbox]​
 
Elthrial Mortelle

Elthrial bit her lip and looked at her partner when he stepped back. She went to explain. She did not want him mad at her. He spoke first and she gave him a look to say what are you talking about. When he pulled out a small black box her eye's darted from him to the box. The ring was beautiful. She let him slip it onto her hand and she kissed him." I love it baby thank you. No worries I was just thinking what would I do with out all my dance this summer. I am scared. I have worked so hard and may go no where." She said and leaned into him and kissed him." So drink?" She asked as she admired her ring.

Damien Stark

Damien looked at her and smiled "try and stop me missy. where ever you go, I am going." He said as they waited." Oh almost forgot. almost but didn't." He said. he took out a ring box and gently placed it open in her hand. He winked at her a " Promise ring to love you forever and one day marry you." He said and kissed her as he slipped it on her finger. Now that better never come off missy." He joked and winked at her.

(want me to time skip my next post)
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]After letting out a breath of relief and slipping the ring onto her finger, Hyder was glad it seemed to fit just right. Wrapping an arm around his lovely lady the young man smiled and walked back to the bar with her where they found Mara and Damien. "I don't think we'll need to think too hard to come up with ideas for the summer. And with your talent, babe? Believe me, scouts, choreographers, agents, directors, you name it. They'll be banging at your door begging you to audition." he reassured the blonde as he grabbed two more drinks, one for each of them.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]Lifting her head off his shoulder as the box was placed in her hand, Mara looked down at the ring and smiled brightly as she slipped it on. It was a perfect fit and it was a beautiful sight being both simple and elegant at the same time. "I promise" she smiled before raising up on her toes and giving him a soft kiss. Letting herself back down she leaned into him again but kept her gaze lovingly up at him.[/fieldbox]

Elthrial Mortelle and Damon Stark

Elthrial had enjoyed the night with her friends and man. She was definitely hung over the next day. However they drank again that night after graduation. They all had decided to move in together but into a new place away from the campus, they wanted a bigger space. El had called the casting agents and told her to come in 1 week from when she called. She waited spending time in the open dance studio at the local gym and practicing. She also spent time with her boyfriend and roommates. They were going with her per her casting agents request. The morning of. She was a giant wreck, She got ready in sweats and a shirt.

Elthrial was auditioning for 3 things today. The wicked witch for Wicked, Swan from swan lake, and Into the woods. She breathed in and looked at the other's as she was called in. Her friends were asked to come in as well. Elthrial bit her lip and gulped as she went in. She gave them Her head shots, alright" Show us your talent for Swan lake. They said." Ignore your friends think of them as the audience. " The man said. She nods and moved her sweats and shirt and put on her pointed shoes. Her music started and She let her body flow with the music, she had learned the swans dance for this. Her body moved to the music easily. She breathed in at the end." Good, Now to hear you sing." He said her friends had seen her dance never sing. She stepped forward and Sang Haven't seen the last of me from burlesque by cher.
Watch "Cher - You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me (Official Music Video)" on YouTube
. She finished and saw Damons mouth drop. She breathed in the casting agent watched in aww." Oh umm wow yes. Last thing scene of acting" He said. She nods and waited for him to promote her. Elthrial looked at him and spoke with the feeling of the character. The man nods." One last thing, do this scene for me." He handed her a wicked script and he played The good witch. She had to act move and sang Defying gravity. The man nods and smirked standing." How about a job as Elphba on Broadway here in new york." He said. Elthrial dropped he mouth and nods." Your serious Oh my gosh thank you." He nods." You start practicing next week." He said. He leaves the four in the ballet room. Elthrial watched him go and looked at her friends." I did it, oh my god." She said. Damon hugged her" Congratulations, that was amazing." He hugged the shorter blonde girl Well shorter then him. Damon was pleasantly suprised by her audition. Who new El had all that in her. " So celebrate drinks on me at Titos. Their favorite bar and grill." He said and hugged Mara close to him. Elthrial looked to her boyfriend, she hoped he wasn't mad she be starting so soon.
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]"Break a leg babe!" Hyder called as he left his girlfriend backstage and walked with his friends to go sit in the fourth row of the theater, just behind the director, choreographer and casting agents. When she opened her mouth and let the words flow Hyde found himself pleasantly surprised. The dark headed male had heard the blonde beauty humming before and figured she must have a nice voice, but her voice was beyond that. It was on it's own level well above nice, above beautiful even. She really was what people called a triple threat. All-in-all he had only ever known of a few others who were also Triple-threats in his life... two of which he was currently with; his girl and Damien's girl. Turning his head to glance at Damien and Mara he noted that the other male in the row was wearing a similar expression to the one he had worn a moment ago. After the performance they joined Elthrial again and, after Mara and Damien were finished Hyder pulled her close. He was a little jealous, but really he was brimming with pride for his girlfriend. Kissing her he smiled and pulled back after a minute "We definitely need to go celebrate, Tito's it is!" Hyder agreed, sweeping his girlfriend up bridal style and carrying her out.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]Mara watched intently as her friend auditioned. The very first thing going through her mind was, 'wow! they must love her. Normal auditions are 3 minutes tops, 5 minutes if you're in the union... and then like a hundred callbacks. She is extremely talented... and how come she never told me she could sing? We would've performed great together in all those classes we had together?'. Sitting there she watched the performance carefully before smiling huge and standing up, clapping when she had finished. If she could whistle she would... but Mar had never been able to do that of all things. "You were amazing, but I am mad that you never said anything about being able to sing!" Nene laughed lightly as she hugged and nudged her friend before leaning against her boyfriend, slipping her hand into his. She still had the ring on her finger, hadn't taken it off yet and didn't plan to.[/fieldbox]​
 
Elthrial Mortelle

Elthrial smiled and hugged her friends. she smiled as she looked at Mara." Sorry I dk I didn't think I was any good. I just felt embarrassed." She said. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment. She was flushed, she was really nervous. El was was Shaking so badly from being nervous. She had loved that song though. " Oh god yes Tito's." She said. "Let me change first." She said. she nods for Mara to follow her to the bathroom to talk. She grabbed her bag off stage and breathed. She hugged Hyde tightly and kissed him." Alright I will be right out." She said. she walked with Mara and breathed out." God I was so nervous." SHE said as she walked for the bathroom. The director stopped them and smiled." Well done El. I was actually wondering if your friends could come back tomorrow and audtion as well. Only if they want , we need glinda, Fiyero, and boq also need a few extras. The casting agents gave their names so we thought we ask." He said and handed Mara 3 sheets. El turned suprised to her friend." Thank you sir The guys are back that if you want to talk to them." She said. She walked with Mara and smiled." How awesome would that be if you got Glinda." She said as she changed. She got into a green shirt with jeans and boots.She put her hair down and fixed her make up. she stopped looking at her promise ring she never took off.

Damien Stark
Damien shook his head and just was speechless when they went back. He complimented and hugged El. When the girls left he sighed." Dude girl has some pipes. You okay with all this?" He asked his friend. He stopped when the director came up. " So your girlfriends said I find you here. We need a few more people if you wanted to come and audtion tomorrow, here are your times. we got your names from the casting agents." He said and let the two look at the paper work. He left them to it. Damien was suprised and looked up. He looked at Hyde."What you think man will you try?" He asked
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]"Oh. um. wow, thanks" Hyder said as he was relayed the information from the talent people. After the men had left, Hyder looked back at Damien and shrugged "Yeah, I'm thrilled that El got that. She's been dying for something like this and she really deserves it" he said honestly as he thought about the follow-up question. "eh. I'm not sure man. I mean you three are really talented. My brother is really talented. I just dance... I guess I could be a monkey or something. Wicked has those right? Or is that just wizard of oz?" Hyde asked, letting out a drawn out breath as they waited for the girls to come back "you gonna go for someone?"[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]"Thank you very much sir" Mara said gratefully, taking the sheets gingerly. Well wasn't this a once in a lifetime opportunity. Looks like she might have to put off her trip back to Russia until next summer... or perhaps the winter." the thought of visiting Russia in the winter sent a shiver down her spine. It was beautiful, but damn did it get cold there. It made Minnesota look like nothing. and it made New York look like a tropical paradise. "Well there's no reason to be nervous. After all you sounded like absolute perfection" Mara beamed and gave an excited little hope "Oh that would be so amazing! ... but wow, think of all the make-up and wigs and outfits... I haven't done something like that since I was like... I dunno... ten?" Silver giggled happily, following her friend back out of the bathroom.[/fieldbox]​
 
Damien Stark
Damien lifted an eyebrow, "Yeah they have flying monkeys in this man. They are actually kinda cool looking. Also Heck yeah I want to see if I can get Fiyero." He said. He held the paper and waited on the girls to come out. He sighed and smiled when they did." Ready to go." He said. " After you miss wicked witch. " He joked with El. She tilled her eye's and said " Oh ha ha ha So funny Damien." He smirked and walked after the other coupes his arms wrapped around Mara." Hey beautiful, see you got one too, going to be Glinda now are we?" He asked. He smiled and kissed her gently." Alright to Tito's we go." He said and walked with a arm around his girl." You going to try out or we still off to Russia beautiful?" He asked as they walk. He only do it if she did.

Elthrial Mortelle

Elthrial smiled," Well yeah but me green this is going to be interesting." She said and waited on her friend. She find her hair and shrugged her shoulders. El walked out smiling and walked with her friend to the boys. She ran up and hugged her man." Mmm I love you." She said as she hugged him. She was happy and actually feeling les anxious. That was scary and she loved it all at the same time. El sighed and walked with her man as they walked for the car. The 4 friends went to Tito's and got beers. Damon smirked." To El and getting the dream job of a life time out of college, also for dragging our asses along to get picked the join you." He winked and El nods with a small smile leaning into Hyde.
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]Hyde draped an arm around El when the girls got back. He was beyond thrilled for her. When they got to the bar they had already decided that Mara, since she wasn't much of a drinker, would drive back later... and the other three could have whatever they wanted. Though Hyde was pretty sure none of them planned on getting trashed. After all, it was only a few hours past midday... and it was pretty safe to say that last week they were really only sober for about two days. It was probably a good idea to let their livers recover a bit. "To El" hyder agreed, raising his glass slightly before taking a swig.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]"it'll be hilarious, that's for sure" Mara smirked, playfully nudging her friend before walking over to Damien where she leaned into him almost immediately. This just felt right. The four of them always being together... yet also having romantic relationships in the designated pairs. "I'm definitely going to go for it" Mar promised. Galinda was at the higher end of her range in some places, but, Nene was fortunate enough to have a very wide range and figured that she could do it ... though tonight might be a good idea to run through it at some point. "Oh, and Russia will just have to wait until next summer ... or .. er... I guess the winter if I really have to go... but I kinda want to avoid that" she admitted, feeling a bit sheepish. When they got to Tito's she gave a simple nod at the question that was directed at her 'you driving back'. Mara probably wouldn't even finish her glass. She wasn't the biggest beer fan and really didn't drink too much at all... though she did like vodka mixed with juice.[/fieldbox]

Elthrial Mortelle

Elthrial smiled as she walked into the bar with her and her boyfriend. She leaned in him and smiled when he said to her. she raised her glass " To friendship and Theater family." She said and drank some her drink. She was really happy her family was around her. Of course she had family else where. This however had been her family for the last 4 years. She hopes they continue to be her family for a good long while to come. They drank,but not a lot. They finally went home and El crashed out on her boyfriends bed well his and her bed. She moaned softly and turned to look at Hyde. She pulled him to her and kissed him. She was not drunk just wanted to kiss her boyfriend. El sighed and looked up at him." I love you Hyde." She said softly.

Damien Stark
Damien Had agreed with both and drank They sat talking for a bit and went home. Damien smiled as El went to hers and Hydes room. He picked Mara up and went to their room a he set her down and lay with herm" Mmm I love my beautiful little woamn. so amazing. How about we get in our pajamas and just relax." He kissed her on the lips and held her close. He loved his little talented star. He told her all the time.

(sure time skip if you want doll)
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]After climbing into bed with the woman he would be spending the rest of his life with, Hyder softly kissed her back, promising he loved her as well.

Over the next few weeks everything seemed to rush by in a whirl. The other three auditioned the day after El and landed the parts they had wanted, then it was rehearsal upon rehearsal upon rehearsal until opening night of the show. They had to do eight shows a week, 6 days a week. The off-day was wednesday. As they all worked their butts off Hyde looked forward to the quality time he was able to spend with his girl... especially since the only time he interacted with her at the show was during an elphaba/monkey scene or at the beginning during the school scenes ... where he wasn't really interacting with her but he was on stage with her.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]Curling into Damien, Mara saw no reason to change. She was quite comfortable in her leggings and sweatshirt... and it always felt just right to be wrapped in her protectors loving embrace.

Excited was not even close to describing how she felt after landing the part of Galinda. While it wasn't necessarily a dream role for Mara the fact that she could be with her friends made it the best role she had ever held... though the flying effects were a little on the nerve-racking. Being harnessed to a cable and lifted freely off the ground always made Mar a little uneasy... even as a young girl when she did Wendy in Peter Pan, she had felt the thrill and also the fear mixing in the pit of her stomach.[/fieldbox]​
 
Elthrial Mortelle and Damien Stark
Elthrial was excited when the show started. she got painted green and had a black wig on. The only thing that scared her about her job is when she had to soar up during defying gravity. She was on a platform that was all done by mechanics she was safe just not one for heights. After the show on Tuesday evening. She went with her friends to their new apartment it was awesome and really big. The show payed for them to stay in on top of their salary. The living room had a plate form for a kitchen to the left of the door their was a hall to get to it. However main room was down a few steps fully furnished it had a fire place and a glass wall that lead to a balcony and a pool and hot tub with a fire pit and cooking area. Up the marble stairs was two hall ways. One hall had a master bedroom with a walk in closet like from the princess diaries. The bathroom was just as spectacular. Down the second hall was a similar room.

As Wednesday morning came around El snuggled into her loving man. She kissedan him and nuzzled into him. She was happy to be in their new place and happy with her job. She sadly didn't spend as much time with Hyde as she wanted. El was happy to be off with him and wrapped around him.


Damien was half asleep with his girl in his chest. He loved her, this new job was tiring. He rubbed her back gently as he just lay their and kept his eyes closed as he kept Mara close.
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]Hydewoke lter on wednesday, glad for the chance to not only sleep in but have a break and spend much wanted quality time with his girlfriend. Though he was awake he didn't want to move just yet, so the young man lay in his large bed, in the large apartment with his arms wrapped lovingly around his beautiful girlfriend. As far as he knew they didn't have anything planned for today. Perhaps he would stop at the gym later or spend some time in the hot-tub. His dad had contacted him earlier in the week about selling the truck he had back home in Washington state and also asked if he wanted the three animals to live with him in the apartment. Though begrudging Hyder had agreed to sell the old truck. He would need to talk to his friends later, asking if they wanted a westie, a scottie and a tuxedo cat around for company.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]-I'll post next time, they seem to both be sleeping.-[/fieldbox]​
 
Elthrial Mortelle
El finally woke and finally sat up. She stretched and looked at her man as she kissed him. She knew he was up and smiled when he opened his eyes. She kissed him and stretched gently. She got out of bed. She was only in her underwear and under shirt. She walked to their big closet and stepped into a 2 piece bathing suit. She put her sunglasses on and walked over to the bed to her boyfriend."Want to come relax by the pool with me and enjoy the day, then go out and have dinner with Mara and Damien tonight. We can go to a beach bar and grill and spend sometime walking on the beach" She said and gave him big eyes her sunglasses on her head. When he finally said yes smiled. El kissed him and squeaked with happiness. El winked at him and told him to meet her by the pool. She grabbed breakfast and walked out to the back and set up the umbrellas and putting on tanning lotion. She liked to tan and get some color. She did not burn so that was not a problem for her.

When her amazing boyfriend joined her in the water. She turned her head and looked at him. She smiled and swam up to him" I love you Hyde." She said and kissed his cheek gently. Her arms wrapped around him gently and she let him carry her around in the water as she clung to him. She loved him and kissed his cheek as he swam about with her clung to him. he had her backed into a corner and she laughed."Hi" She said gently and watched him. She was very happy to be spending the day with him. Her life was him and her work. She after all just graduated to do this.

El stopped when she saw people in the house and her mouth dropped."Oh shit, Hyde give me one second" She said. She knew Mara's family and well mara probably hadn't told them she lived with guys just her. She put a towel around her and walked in. She smiled and hugged them lightly. She apologized and said she had been in the pool. She ran to get Mara, she told Damien to join Hyde out by the pool till they dragged them in to meet Mara's family.

Damien Stark
Damien woke slowly and wrapped his arms around Mara. He kissed her and got up. He dressed only in sweats and went to the kitchen to get coffee. He walked back to the bedroom with a cup for his girl and him. He set hers down and woke her slowly." time to get up beautiful." He said gently and kissed her. He wanted to do something on his day off with his beautiful love even if it was to just watch tv and maybe spend the night with their friends. He sat next to her till she woke up and when she sat up he handed her the cup of coffee and smiled." What does the love of my life want to do with her day off, watch movies, swim, go to the beach, go horse back riding?" He asked her as he let her lean her head on him. Damien was leaning on the wall and sipped his coffee, It had hazel creamer in it.


Damien watched his beautiful love and listened when she said what she wanted to do and he smiles." of course beautiful we can go to the beach," He kissed her and went to shower and get ready. he was dressing when he heard the door. His girl was in the shower so he went to grab it. When he opened it he stopped a minute and smiles." Oh hey come on in." he said as he realized the photos Mara showed of her family. They gave him an odd look, He points to the couches and says one minute. He went to knock on his girls door."Babe your family is here." he said.​
 
[fieldbox=Hyder P. Winston, #1e4d27, dashed, 22, Book Antiqua]When his girlfriend asked if he wanted to chill out by the pool with her, Hyder gave a nod and kissed her lightly before slipping out of the bed they shared and changing into his swim trunks. He joined Elthrial downstairs for breakfast after a few minutes and wandered outside, pulling the glass sliding door closed behind him. This apartment really was extremely nice. The four of them had definitely gotten lucky and landed an awesome gig.

Tossing two towels onto the chaise lounges that were on the sunniest part of the patio, Hyder never bothered to put on sunscreen. He just ran for the deep end of the pool and did a sloppy cannonball into the water, landing about two feet from the end of the diving board... which, after thinking his moments was what he probably should have used to enter the water. Swimming over to Elthrial he placed his hands gently on her waist and pulled her close, planting a kiss on her lips before letting her drift back to her own spot. "I love you too baby" he smiled, his face a bit more stubble-covered than usual after not shaving the day before... something he did every so often.

When she swam back to him, clinging loosely to his neck, Hyde smiled and began swimming around with the most important lady in his life attached to him. After a few minutes he backed them into a corner and got as close as he could to El. He smiled. his eyes glinting playfully at her response. Lowering his head to hers he kissed her for a moment before releasing her again. Within moments his beautiful blonde was wrapping a towel around herself and running for the apartment to greet the 'intruders'... aka guests Hyder had never met...[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Mara A. Argyris, #8c8284, dashed, 22, Helvetica]Rolling over onto her back and blinking open her golden eyes the youngest member of the group let a sleepy smile play on her lips as she sat up easily and took the coffee Damien had for her "Thanks love" she smiled, kissing him back briefly. As she sipped the hot liquid, Mara mentally scolded herself for not being prepared at just how hot the coffee with the peppermint cocoa creamer would be. Swallowing she ignored the slight burning sensation the best she could and placed the mug back on the end table as she climbed out of their shared bed to change from her pajamas to beach clothes so they could get going whenever Damien was ready.

Just as Mara was finishing up on her hair that could be rather unruly when wet she heard a knock on the bathroom door followed by her boyfriends voice letting her know that her family had shown up. "Oh crap!" she yipped, jumping as the words sunk in. Mara wasn't one to curse, but her family, especially her step-brother and her dad could be very overprotective... and she hadn't exactly mentioned to some of the most important people in her life that she was living with two guys... just hopefully Hyder hadn't met them yet. Both her friend and her step-brother, Mikael could be very, very hot-headed and Mike could get violent... they also both had a thing for Elthrial... something she hadn't mentioned to anyone. Hurriedly putting the clear elastic band on and clipping the braid up, Mar ran out of the bathroom, chewing softly on her lip. She wasn't quite ready to face the music... but a rush of relief flew over her when she saw El with them. Her family loved Elthrial.

Practically flinging herself around the couch she just about tackled her sister in a hug "Marina! Brody! Natalia! Mom, dad, Mike!" she exclaimed, moving on to hug all of them. Out of all her family she was closest to her fully biological sister, Marina Jewel who was currently 23 ... and her half-sister, Natalia Brielle who was the youngest in the family and only 14. Brody Niklaus was her half-brother, 19 years young and nearly as tall as her step-brother, Mikael Peter Tael who happened to be the eldest at 28 and also the only one to have a different last name as he kept his father's last name when their parents got married. Her father was Maksimillian Viktor a rather stout 53 year old man whom Mara had the unfortunate experience of remembering at his lowest of low points. Her step-mother, Julia Anya was a rather tall , who actually stood a couple inches taller than Mara's father, woman of 45. She and Mara had a very rocky relationship at first, but over the years they had grown extremely close and this young woman was proud to call this lady 'mom'. Of course her remaining 'family' (her step-mother's parents) were located in Russia, but this was an amazing yet very poorly timed surprise.

After a brief catching up, Mara realized she couldn't stall forever. "So I may have forgotten to tell you all that El and I live with our boyfriends. Um ... Damien, my boyfriend, was the one who let you in... and then shooed outside to the pool... and you haven't met or seen Hyder yet. But I need you to promise, Mikael, to be on your best behavior or I will throw you out" she said, very pointedly at her hot-headed and often aggressive step-brother who seemed disappointed and angry to find out he now had a competition for El... not that they had ever had anything anyway.[/fieldbox]

(so sorry... also, my 'v' key is crapping out broken... I broke the key off cause I was trying to get it to work... so some words might be missing that letter)​
 
Elthrial Mortelle and Damien Stark​
Elthrial was laughing and talking with her family while she was waiting on her friend. When Mara got out she stepped back and let her talk to her family. El went to go get Hyde and Damien. She had to explain to them." So that's Maras Family their very protective that's why you were banished to the patio. So come on you need to be introduced." She said. El put her hand in her boyfriends hand and walked in. She introduced both men to the family. She smiled and put her blonde hair behind her ear. Her parents looked to El. "You should know better El your the older one. It should just be you and Mara here." Maras father said." Sir were adults and these men love us very much. I would never let anyone hurt besides we have all been really good friends for 5 to 6 years. We all work the same job and we'll we are all kinda like family." She said. Maras dad nods." Alright I trust you . anything happens it's your head." He said. El nods her head and sighed. She turned to Hyde and Damien.She looked at them to say something and Damien groaned inwardly. Damien Had seen El with Maras Family. She was close with them and spoke back like a older child. He wondered about her family. She seemed to never go home on summer break and never speak of her family. She never talks to them or about them. El had no photo's. He always been to uncomfortable to ask. Now it kinda popped to his mind more and more. he said nothing though. He finally reached his hand out Damien nice to meet you. you all should come to the show tomorrow night." He said to her.family. El beamed." Yeah you should, will however let you guys hang with Mara today. Will go do something." She said and went to walk away with the guys. Damien nods to the family nice to meet you." He said as El went out back with both guys. "Alright let's go to the beach." She said. "Grab your stuff and will just drive their." She said.

El knew this would bring up questions about her own family it always did. She hadn't even told Mara her best friend. Her father had left her with her mother. Well let's just say her home life was a long way from where she came. She got a scholarship to be at theach school she was at. Her parents were rich but didn't take anything but her trust from from them and even that hadn't been touched with her knew job and all.
 
Mara found herself a tad disappointed when her friends off to the beach without her, but she was still excited to spend time with her family. Maybe give them a tour of the city or something and just catch up on the so many months they had been apart. Shooting El a thankful look as the other three departed from the apartment, Mar sat down on the couch, immediately engrossed in conversing with her family.

Hyder had been called back in to meet the family briefly, thankfully he wasn't so wet anymore, having climbed out of the pool and let the hot afternoon sun soak into him after Elthrial had climbed out. He hadn't been in the apartment long, which was probably a good thing since Mara's brother looked a bit of an ass... Within minutes he was grabbing a new towel, slipping on flip-flops and tossing the keys to El whom he presumed was driving. Climbing into the passenger seat it mildly dawned on him that Damien could end up feeling like a third wheel... but chances are it would be fine... after all, all of them were friends first, lover's second.
