Taylor might even have blushed a little, when Amelia praised him as he briefly hugged Amelia back when she pulled her arms around him. He smiled goofy, as he patiently watched her type in a new post on a hacker forum. When she was done, she showed the screen to Taylor, as he nodded approvingly.
"Yeah; this sounds good. Hopefully people will help." he replied, looking at Amelia again with a bright smile, his tiny dimples showing. He hummed after a second or two. "Now we wait, I suppose?" he suggested, looking around in a lazy, bored way. His thoughts began to run, as he hummed again.
"Do you think it's possible to rebuild a robot, and make it remote?" he asked curiously, looking back at Amelia and briefly at Vorrie. "Like; if we get our hands on a robot, perhaps put in some sort of remote control? If we could do that, we could destroy the robot facilities from the insides." he finished.
@ineffable

"That's actually quite a good idea. Dude, Vorrie don't you have some connections with the people who make the robots, who are labourers and want to join the rebellion?" Amelia turned to her friend, curious.
"Well, actually, yes. Screw's the man we need to contact. I'll send him a text, tell him to talk to you. And then I'm out." Vorrie typed on her phone quickly and held it up so Amelia could see a flash of the screen before sending it off and getting off of the couch with a weary sigh and quick crack of bones.
"I have some more business to do so...But I'll probably come back sooner or later to check on all that stuff. Don't get naughty you two!" And with that blush inducing last comment Vorrie disappeared behind the door. Amelia shook her head as she looked at Taylor.
"Anything you want to do while we wait?" She asked, almost shyly.
@Riverbeak

Taylor was humming to himself, as Vorrie left. Just before the door slammed, he blushed in a mad red color. He made a dumb sound resembling a stuttering; 'uhhh'. Don't get naughty you two! The sentence made his heart beat faster, and faster in his chest. He wouldn't dare to do anything naughty with Amelia.. Right? He wouldn't- nah, he wouldn't. The inner sentences began to battle, as they ended up with the; who was he kidding, of course he wanted to do the naughty with her. Taylor couldn't hold it against himself. Amelia was a beautiful young woman. He had to be blind not to want her, and they'd already kissed so-- Taylor swallowed loudly, as the silence between them echoed out but wasn't longer than a few seconds before Amelia spoke.
Taylor shrugged, before replying.
"I have-" his voice cracked as he coughed to get it right. He might even have blushed a little more as he continued. "I have no idea what to do - what do you want to do?" Taylor's heart was in his throat, as he cleared it again with a soft cough.
@ineffable

"Do you want some water, First?" Amelia giggled and walked behind the counter to fetch a glass of water. She passed Taylor the glass, her golden infinity ring clicking against it.
"Well, we can do anything, really. We can sit and talk, go for a walk, draw, play games...Your choice" She answered his question and found herself fiddling with the ring. It had been a gift from one of her better boyfriends. He had given her it along with a teaching that she never forgot. They broke up a week later, due to busy schedules. He was one of the people that she had looked up to and not loved so that was probably the problem with that relationship. She looked at him with wide eyes, waiting for his response.
@Riverbeak

Taylor thanked Amelia for the glass of water, and he gulped down some. His Adam's apple bobbed twice when he swallowed, as he put down the half full glass. He hummed as he stood up, and stretched his arms again. He was already going restless.
"I'd like to go for a walk-" he began, "you could show me the good spots in the city?" Taylor rolled his shoulders, feeling the bones move around and his muscles relax. He fiddled around with his fingers, looking a little anxious but awaited her answer.
If he knew a little about the city, it'd be easier for him to navigate if shit burned down. Amelia was his only hope in ever getting home..- Taylor might even have paled a little. He'd been so interested and occupied in Amelia and her work, that he didn't had thought about getting home. How was he ever getting home anyways? It wasn't like they could rebuild a functional time machine.. Right?
@ineffable

"Of course, sounds good." Amelia grabbed her phone and headed out of her apartment, tucking the keys into her pocket. She made her way to the Park, grabbing Taylor's hand as she maneuvered through the small amount of pedestrians.
"So...Here's the park. Wait, I'll grab us a couple of bike-cycles." She gave him a quick smile and jogged towards the bike-cycle rack, grabbing two and sliding her finger over the scan. She wheeled them over to Taylor and handed him one of the bikes. She got on her own bike, settling comfortably in the seat before revving the engine once. She nudged one of the pedals to make sure it worked and gestured at Taylor.
@Riverbeak

Taylor followed suit, heart skipping a beat when Amelia grabbed his hand. He swallowed hard, as he was guided to the nearby park. He took in the view, so interested in the new surroundings he barely noticed Amelia going to pick out two bikes. Taylor looked with an amused look, as he got one of them. He looked at it, like someone grew a second head.
"So--" he began, sitting up at the bike, one foot on the pedal, the other resting on the ground. He settled differently, winching in slight pain when he sat weirdly on his crotch. He did the same as Amelia did, copying her movements with the pedal.
"Where are you leading me to?" he asked, looking around. He took in the surroundings quickly, making a mental note of a few things he could remember. Like that pole over there, and the bench next to it.
@ineffable

"So I take it that you've never been on a bike-cycle before? So thats the pedal right? So just step softly on it. If you want to go faster just twist your hands forwards on the handles a bit. If you want to break, lean your body backwards. As for where we're going I think just riding around the city and talking seems fine with me?" She smiled at Taylor. She revved up her engine a bit more and started to ride around the park, a circular trail that was easy for beginners.
"So...tell me...Favourite color and um...Favourite animal." She suggested a topic of conversation, glancing over her shoulder quickly at Taylor before slowing down slightly so she could look at him easier.
@Riverbeak

Taylor looked at Amelia, taking in her small tutorial of how to ride this spectacular beast. He nodded shortly, before doing the same as she did. He had a little trouble with it the first few seconds, but else it was like riding a scooter. He got the hang of it in less than a minute, as he beamed proudly to her.
"Give me something harder," he laughed, "I really like the shades in amethyst crystals, and my favorite animal is, by far, the domestic dog. Especially bigger breeds, such as Argentine Mastiffs and Tibetan Mastiff. Just in general Mastiff's. They're my favorites." he smiled, and kept going in circles with her, before he casually followed her around the rather large park.
"What about you?" he asked curiously. "What's your favorite color and animal?" Taylor didn't feel restless for once, and he didn't notice before after he'd asked the question. This was a nice feeling for him, it made him more loose around the edges - more open minded and carefree.
@ineffable

Amelia smiled at his proudness and shook her head fondly at him.
"I...um...Actually a sunset kind of orangey pink. And um...parrots, for some reason." She rode after him and gestured for him to follow her into a more secluded garden like area to the side of the park. She took in the scent of flowers and gave a gentle smile. How she loved this garden. It was like her safe place, far far away from the busy bustle and serious concerns of the hacker community.
"Tell me more about yourself. I barely know you!" She encouraged him as she braked her bike for a moment, hopped out and leaned against it.
@Riverbeak

Taylor followed suit, and braked his bike shortly after Amelia did. Taylor took the same stance as Amelia, mimicked her pose, in what could resemble a childish game. He smiled goofed, and took a deep inhale. The scents of the flowers and smaller plants made Taylor visibly relax. His shoulders weren't squared off in a tense way, but now more of a relaxed way as he put his hands in the pants pockets. Amelia spoke, as Taylor lifted an eyebrow, the smile turning into a smirk.
"Why don't you tell me about you first?" he asked, feeling giddy. Childish. He had to much energy than to just stand still. He was getting impulses to take the bike and race through the garden with maximum speed. He was getting impulses to create something bad. He was getting the impulse to grab Amelia and kiss her. His arched eyebrow fell down again, as his Adam's able bobbed down, when he swallowed the spit he didn't have. A bothering habit, he reminded himself.
@ineffable

"Me?" Amelia was startled. No one actually wanted to know who she actually was online. She was just Mel#28 one of the rebellious hackers that managed to get a quick headstart on the robots. Not an actual human with some kind of history.
"Well...I have a family as you know...A brother and parents. They're in the country nearby here now. I'm scared for their safety. They take care of the food supplies we ship into Neotech. I um...I dropped out of college because the stuff taught there is useless. We're going to be facing a robot uprising and all that they are teaching us is how to make 'advanced' webpages? Um, moving on...I'm actually allergic to dogs but not that much anymore since I have some medicine and all. I've had like 3 boyfriends before and flirted with several other boys, though I'm out of that now." At the end of this sentence she cast a look at Taylor before returning into her speech.
"There were 2 that were good boyfriends. A bit punky but good..." She twisted the infinity ring.
"And that sums it up. Your turn!" She walked a bit closer to Taylor.
@Riverbeak

Taylor listened closely, listening to Amelia's gentle voice as it slithered around him like a soft blanket. He was a little taken aback at her story, but it didn't surprise him that Amelia had a family. She wasn't an alien, he reminded himself, she was just as human as he were. Taylor took a deep breath when Amelia stopped talking, and exhaled deeply.
"Well..." He began, "what is there to say about me..?" He questioned.
"Well, you already know where I came from, but I'm 25 years old by the way. I used to live with my younger sister and mum, until I turned 19 and found my own apartment..? I never knew my dad.. Uh," Taylor did a chuckle. "Wow, this is hard-- okay, so I used to own a parakeet when I was a child. Uh, I am really bad at literature, and I can't draw other things than a stick figure." He chuckled, smiling goofy. "And uh, I only had one relationship before which were a prank on me, so it didn't last more than three weeks."
Taylor held a short break, to catch his breath, as he hummed.
"What else do you want to know about me? I could give random facts for you, if you want?" He suggested happily. Then he could finally tell a little about his university, and how he scored second highest in his class, with barely half a percent in difference. Then it hit him. He had only weird facts from his time. Like how he once watched the first three movies of Star Wars on a school night. Or when he (not so) accidentally nailed his teacher in a test, and proved her wrong in one question.
@ineffable

"Well, the name of your parakeet first and then indulge me in all of your random facts." Amelia smiled and walked over so she rested beside him, leaning against the bike.
She actually wanted to know more about him and she scolded herself for it. She was so stupid. Almost falling in love with a guy she met for like what...two to three days?
Wait up, FALLING IN LOVE?
Was she crazy?
But she couldn't really help it. He was so different, so new and just so kind. There was more to him than just the surface she reckoned and she wanted to be the one who knew the most about him. Who knew who he was inside and appreciated all of the little quirks he had to him. That was why she asked it.
"Taylor? Could we try?" She knew that the boy should say it, that she should play hard to get but who was she kidding. He would find a way to go back and the relationship would fade into the back of her mind right?
@Riverbeak

Taylor let out a light chuckle as he began to describe his parakeet.
"Well; Penny was a blue tiny parakeet, with white belly and gray wings. She could say my name, and loved to watch herself in the mirror and take a bath in my cups of water." he chuckled loudly, before he sighed in a relaxed way.
"Well. Fact number 1. I scored second highest in my class. Fact number 2. I am actually allergic to carrots. Uhh; fact number 3... I have a secret stash of coins from all over the world..- Fact number 4, would be-" he paused abruptly. He looked at Amelia with a surprised and confused look. His heart was beating rather fast in his chest. The words rang inside his head. He knew what she was asking. But there were so many possibilities for this to lead to.
Could they do what? Kiss again? Could they part? Could they try for a relationship? Could they return to the apartment and have sex? Taylor swallowed hard.
"Can we what..?" he asked curiously, hiding his pressure and warmth away from his chest. He was nervous. He wanted all of that to happen. All of it.
@ineffable

"Try for a...a relationship? I know that the boy is supposed to ask and yadda yadda but it's a different circumstance. Taylor, you weren't just a drunken kiss. You did so much more to me than that. I'm changed for the better, because of you. And for some reason you make me smile everyday and that's just...that's just amazing." Amelia sighed before backing away, the negative thoughts pushing their way into her head once more.
"But if you don't want to it's okay. I mean I can help you find a way back and you can go ahead and live a normal life. It's going to be okay." She wanted to slap herself. What was she saying? She should've thought this through. She was supposed to be using him, faking it but what was she doing? All of that speech came right from her heart and she shook her head, softly so Taylor couldn't see. She shouldn't involve her own emotions into this. It would only make it worse and she would only end up with a broken heart. The infinity ring was taken off, if only for a second before being placed back on her finger.
@Riverbeak

Taylor tried to stop Amelia, but bit his lower lip instead.
"Amelia.." He tried, trying to stop her. He was nervous. Really, really nervous. He turned around and cornered her in against the bike. He wanted to kiss her. Badly. He was quiet, as his look flickered from each eye of hers and then down to her lips. Back to her eyes, Taylor!
"I don't know what you've done to me. I can't get you out of my head.." He mumbled lowly, closing in. His heart was throbbing in his chest, and his hands were resting on the bike. Just half an inch from touching her skin. He was aching it. Needing it. So badly. He wanted to do so much to her. So much with her. It was becoming his addiction, and he had no idea how it even happened.
"....can I kiss you?" He asked suddenly, not more than a low whisper, his breath caressing Amelia's lips.
@ineffable
(Sorry this is a little short)

And that was when she lost all sense of holding herself together around Taylor. She leaned in and put her lips on his. Kissing him with all her might.
Everything she had wanted was here, it was hers and even though she knew she was drastically out of control of everything she still wanted it. She moved away for a fraction of a second before responding in a whisper.
"Yes."
Then she leaned back in again and lost herself completely in his lips.
@Riverbeak
(Sorry for the shortness as well, will move this over to titan soon!)

Taylor let his hands roam Amelia's lips, as his arms swirled around her slim frame and into his arms. He pressed himself closer, tilting his head ever so lightly, as he let his lips touch Amelia's. Taylor did a chuckle, when they parted to catch a short breath, before he gently licked open her mouth and tasted her again. He felt a rush over him, finally getting his drug into his system again.
Taylor felt the pool of heat in his chest, relaxing against her body and moving his hands in gentle circles on her back. He almost didn't dare, didn't want to part their kiss, but did nonetheless. He panted lightly, smiling in a goofy smile with a faint blush on his high cheekbones.
"How about.. We continue this back in the apartment?" He suggested lightly, leaning close to take another kiss from her. His heart was screaming for her, asking, begging almost to lean down again, and kiss her. Again, and again, until he couldn't taste anything else but her.
@ineffable

"Yeah." Amelia managed to breathe out. She got onto her bike and headed down to the park, quickly. She was ahead of him and her mind was racing. The more she got involved with him, the more he kissed her the more she fell deeper into the hole. The faster she had to climb out. Her head was hurting. All of this, putting herself in danger just for the rebellion? She shook her head. Putting herself in love with someone was danger to her? Was she stupid? She reached the bike-cycle deposit point and latched in her bike. What would she say when he came? What was to be her excuse from running away from him? She leaned back against the railings of the bike deposit, breathing in the colid, bitter wind that blew up her hair and tangled the strands.
