❣ Divided Paths ❣

[Lil]

Well that was a lie. Who gagged when they simply ate too much? It was one thing to have your stomach hurt or throw up but simply eating too much didn't make you gag. "Oh. Okay." Faye simply nodded and stood up, leaving some of the cake she hadn't eaten. "I think I'm gonna go shower and lie down. It's been a long day." She told Blake with a soft smile. Did she look bad or had something gotten on her face?

Blake nodded his head in reply to Faye, "Mmkay. Be careful. Don't slip and die. That would be awful."
He didn't know why he said. He tried to make it out to be a joke, but that was a terrible joke to make! He realized it too late though so he just grinned to maybe make it a little better? Doubtful, but he could still try!
When she stood up, he waited a few seconds before slowly getting to his feet too. He could clean up in here and then feed Alby while she took a shower. He could also change into some pajamas and maybe turn into a bird and fly away from Earth forever because guys shouldn't be like he was.
But that was wrong. Not every guy was the same. It didn't help that people thought that way about guys. But it was true that not every guy was the same. Why was it such an expectation to make of guys to be a certain way? Wasn't that some kind of double standard? If they liked sex, they were a horndog. If they didn't like sex, they were gay. It was stupid. He could smack someone down. But he wouldn't. Because that was mean.

"I'll try not to." Faye smiled before turning and walking off towards the bathroom. So much for a lovers home. She doubted any of the special editions would actually be used. Oh well. It didn't matter. They were only married now. Why would she have the absurd idea that would change anything? The only thing that had hanged between last night and this one was that they were now bound in marriage. Nothing really that important.

When Faye went away Blake took it upon himself to box up the cake and put it on the counter. He washed down the table and such that Faye used to eat the cake.
He turned the light off in the kitchen and went into the room where he fed Alby and then changed into some shorts. He turned around again and trailed out to the back deck. He was back home. So of course he had to enjoy the ocean while he could.
He slid into one of the cushioned lounge chairs and leaned back to gaze across at the darkening waters.

Faye took a little longer than usual in the shower today. Mainly trying to get all the hairspray out and all her makeup off. She didn't take longer than needed though. She was feeling tired and just wanted to lay down now. Faye dried off quickly then changed into some swear pants, sports bra and a tshirt. Had no reason to look sexy so might as well go bummy.

Blake found himself wishing he had a pile of pebbles to toss and skip across the water. Or a fishing pole. He had never been very good at fishing. But he did love to swim. And while his dad fished he would swim. Of course he had to be further away from the hook but that was fine.
He slowly stood up from the chair and trailed over to the edge of the deck. When he looked down He was gazing straight into the water. It was weird though because from this height he wasn't afraid of the fall. Probably because there was water beneath him.
Slowly he.climbed up onto the railing looming over the water. He swung his.legs over the wood and gripped the railing with his hands.

Faye left the room for a second in search of Blake. She wondered where he had gone off to? After a bit of roaming she spotted him on the deck. What was he doing? Sitting on the edge of the deck? That didn't seem like something Blake would do. He hated being up high and near edges. Faye didn't say anything though, afraid she might startle him. Instead she moved to the kitchen and got herself a glass of water.

[Kicks]

He wondered just how deep the water was here. Looking off to the side be could see sand. He was guessing something of seven feet here with the wooden posts being below him to keep the house leveled. It wasn't anything challenging and certainly wouldn't be the first ocean he had jumped into.
He looked behind him again as if afraid he were about to get caught doing something he shouldn't.
A grin made its way across his face and he turned his eyes to below him again. With a push he dived into the water. It wasn't anything startling with the temperature. But suddenly being wet didn't send jolts up his spine.
He popped back up after a quick second and laughed. It may have been a dumb idea but he did not regret it one bit.

[Lil]

Faye grabbed her water and started to return back to the bedroom but when she looked back I the porch, Blake was gone. Oh no! Had he fallen off! Had he jumped on purpose? Was he trying to get away? They were just married was he already unhappy? Faye ran out to the edge and looked over to find her husband in the water laughing. She released a semi-relieved sigh but still wondered what he was doing. "Blake?"

[Kicks]

Blake jumped in the water when he heard a voice. Startled and aware that he had been caught, he rose his large eyes up to see that it was just Faye. Oh good. He wasn't afraid of getting in trouble by her. Sure she could throw things with her mind, but he had given her cake so he figured she wouldn't do anything.
"Ello," He greeted from down below with a grin on his face, "Care to take a swim with me? It's spontaneous and brilliant!"
