Copacabana Palace, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday - Morning/Afternoon

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

There were a few clouds in the sky today, but no matter. It was still plenty warm in Rio, with lots to do for those who liked to, well. Do things. And lots of oppurtunities for lazing about for those who favoured a more recumbent sort of vacation.

[ooc: ocd for your threading pleasure: rooms / pérgula restaurant / the pool / the spa / the beach / tijuca forest tours / helicopter tours | ...sigh, weather. this is what happens when you write a post the night before and the weather says "mostly cloudy". WELL BOO ON THAT. ]

"Just your nose, huh?" he teased as he straddled her legs. He popped open the bottle and squirted some lotion on his fingers before reaching out to wipe it on her nose.

Her nose crinkled at how purposefully messy he was being. "You're really bad at this, huh?"

"I am not," he laughed and spread out the lotion over her cheeks and forehead. "I'm just confusing you."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you kind of are," she agreed, closing her eyes and letting him smooth out the lotion. "Is it all part of your way of avoiding boredom?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a little," he agreed, using the excess sunscreen to wipe down her neck.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Why don't you like the pool?" she asked, making a face at him for his being bored.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Because it's people sitting around and doing nothing," he said, squirting some more sunscreen in his palm so he could continue with her shoulders. "If I want to sit and do nothing, I could have stayed in Fandom."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"So why don't you go waterskiing or something? I could watch from here and wave at you," she suggested helpfully.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He glanced up from what he was doing, for a second meeting her eyes before he quickly glanced down. His shrug was casual and he ran his hand down her arm. "I'm putting sunscreen on my girlfriend right now."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Okay that look was totally something she was supposed to get and still Caroline wasn't so sure she understood but she tried her very best. "Meaning if your girlfriend was doing just about anything you'd be over by her?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Aren't I?" he asked, moving on to her other arm now.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but just because you have a girlfriend doesn't mean you can't do things that don't involve her," Caroline suggested. "Otherwise you're going to end up watching me read a magazine and wondering where your sanity went."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jake rolled his eyes at her and he was going to try to do her chest now without too much indecent groping. "I'm aware."

He just really didn't want to right now. Not with the past weekend and everything that had happened.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"And suddenly all stoic," she observed. "So...does that mean you need to tell me what you want me to do so I won't torment you by being the reason you end up bored and crazy?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

The question had him feeling like he was being stupid and he shook his head, his hands sliding down to her stomach. "Nah."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Okay," she answered, not sure how much she was supposed to be pushing to find out what was going on, but she had no difficulty leaning back against the lounge chair and letting him rub his hands over her stomach.

Yes, keeping her mouth shut was a challenge, to say the least.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

He seemed happy to not talk and he concentrated on the task at hand, sliding his hands over her skin to rub in the sunscreen. He moved to the end of the chair so he could do her legs and then patted her foot. "Turn."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

It was weird not talking.

Really weird. Caroline turned as requested, making the chair slide into a flat position so she could be comfortable resting on her front. "You're very thorough when there's no need to be," she commented, unable to help herself. "But I guess it breaks up the quiet."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"What? You think I'm not going to be thorough when it involves touching you?" he asked. He'd managed to do the back of her legs so he moved back up to straddle her thighs so he could easily reach her shoulders and back.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Okay, so that was clearly her failure to think, though it wasn't like she could tell if he was enjoying it at all. "Well...I guess I thought no since you were being all quiet?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I'm trying to get the most out of this," he suggested, gently sliding his hands up her back.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Well, good luck," she murmured, thinking he wasn't likely to get much out of applying sunscreen other than feeling sicker when her smell mingled with the lotion. "I can only hope the coconut smell is helpful."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Stop that," he squeezed her shoulders, his thumbs rubbing circles on her skin. "Things change."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"That's a big change," she pointed out. "I mean, it's much bigger than hating brussel sprouts as a kid and growing to tolerate them with mustard as you get older. This is like, oh, the girl you share a bed with smells like brussel sprouts and there is not enough febreeze in the world, I don't care what you say about getting used to it, I would rather have shot you than stood next to you without holding my breath. And I realize this is not the time for that conversation, but come on. The sex cannot be good enough to put up with that."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"What do you want me to say, Caroline?" he asked, his hands sliding down her back. "I told you it isn't that bad anymore. You think I'm lying and it is, so I should be running away. Which I'm not. I'm still here, so you'll just have to believe me."
