"Well, fuck. Shit. Piss." Where had this came from? So full and so cold! Well, now it had to be handled, carefully.
"Hang on tight, okay, babe? I will get us out of this..."
Matt had navigated this path many a time, so he pretty much knew all about what he could not see now. But the air was... forboding. It made him feel... weird. He did not let this show, however, and, ultimately, the pair got to the house of Doug safely.

Gwyne walked through hte door shivering from the icy air outside. "That fog is colder thena mountian in winter. Wheres the shower i need ot thaw out.."
Gwynne was given directions by doug's daughter and made a v-line straight for it turning the taps on moderatly hot. Hot shower running Gwynne stripped off her wet clothing that also had sand on them inside and out, and let her hair down as she stepped in letting the hot water run over her cold body until she began to regain some feeling in her flesh. The air had just been soo cold, and the atmosphere alone had been creepy. Turning her face up ot the water Gwynne sighed with releife glad to be out of the cold and somewhere warm.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around Gwynne, naked body pressed to her own, the familiar voice of Matthew Heart whispering in her ear, "Can you believe, that the only shower, in this whole place, is the one we are in?"
He smiled and kissed her neck, "I got us some clothes from the car... and as much as I like the idea of you runnin' around naked, I can name some people who wouldn't."

Gwynne laughed reaching her arms up and looping them over his neck. "I can imagine who." She then unlooped her arms and turned around ot face himwrapping her arms around his middle and pulled him uder the cascading water. "You need to warm up a bit...You're as icy as I felt just moments ago."
Gwynne ran both hands up Matt's chest before she lent in and kissed him, letting her lips linger near his before she smiled again, tucking the few strands of hair that had been sweapt over her face by the shower behind her ears. "All the freaky and weirdness aside, this has turned out to be a rather...pleasent vacation wouldn't you say?"

"I would say," Matt nodded with a smile, "What with us, Nimbel, Doug taking the group in, and..."
*Flash*
What?
*Flash*
He stood, with his mouth open, for a moment. He shook his head, "...and, what was I going to say?"
*Flash*
What was I going to do? What am I doing... here?

Gwynne frowned and placed her hands eitherside of his face. " Matt are you ok?" He looked very confused all of a sudden like he wasn't quite himself. "Matt?" she stroked the side of his face, and then patted his cheek lightly till his eyes focused on her again. "Earth to Matt... Are we finnished spacing out yet?"
She looked his face over carefuly, trying to work out what made him go wierd on her when Matt lent in kissed her. Gwynne felt reliefe rush through her, he seemed to be back from his spacing eppisode. Gwynne kissed him back feeling a rush of elation as they held each other closer.

"Sorry..."
*Flash*
For what?
*Flash*
And he kissed her, his hands touching her for the first time, exploring her naked body. When they were not kissing, they were moaning. This was what they had waited for. This moment, where he had her to the wall, his face in her bosom, her long legs either side of him, her ready, him ready, in more ways than one, until the push...
"Hey? You okay in there?"
The knock on the door put a stop to it. Matt looked at the damn door, that damn door and back at Gwynne, where her eyes caught his, her forehead to his.

Gwynne took a deep breath calming herself beofre she replied to Doug's daughter.
"Ah yeah," she called over the sound of the shower. resisting the urge to giggle.
"Oh, ok, it,s just i heard some odd noises thats all...."
Gwynne sighed softly, Funny about that... she thought dryly then place a finger on Matt's lips to make sure he kept quiet.
"I'll be out in a minute ok?"
"Ok...oh by the way..." she called htrough the door. "You haven't seen Matt have you?"
Oh yeah i've seen him... all of him "Gwynne? The door opened and Gwynne inwardly groaned. Dougs daughter looked inot the bathroom her face colouring as she took in the scene and htne closed her eyes retreating and shutting the door quickly. "Shit, i'm ah sorry... never mind..."
Gwynne lost in then she burried her face into Matt's shoulder and laughed. "Firts i get cold feet on the beach and just when things were getting good that happens..." she sighed and left her head resting on the curve of his shoulder letting the water wash over htem both a bit more. "We should probibly get out before someone else sticks their head in to find out why that girl is the colour of a cooked lobster."

"......" was what Matt said. Nothing. But he did pick Gwynne up, walk out of the bathroom, walk to his room, open the door, threw her on the bed, kicked it closed and locked it. There was work to be done.

Gwynne couldn't help but smiled as she moved under the blankets as she moved closer to Matt her head resting on his chest listening to the steady drumming on his heart. As she did Gwynne recalled every touch caress, every rush of pleasure that had passed between them after Matt had carried her out of the bathroom. She could so easily just fall back to sleep, but she couldn't not when thier clothing was still in the bathroom. Kissing Matt on the lips and the neck she slid out of bed grabbing one of Matt's spare shirts which thankfuly sat mid thigh asshe crept out of the room and grabbed their things from the bathroom. Creeping back inot the room she shut the door and set them down.
Looknig at Matt while he still dozed on the bed Gwynne smiled and climbed back on creeping up until she stradled him and began drumming her fingers on his chest. "Maaaaaaatt," she whispered then lent forward and blew inot his ear. "Oh Maaaatt... time to wake up. the others are probibly waiting for us down stairs. So we should probbily get dressed..." She smiled and lent back waiting for him to stir.

"Ah, that was so good." Avery said, not lying at all. She leaned back in her chair, tucking wayward strands of hair behind her ear. Nick was sitting next to her, finishing up his own omlette. "I would love a grand tour." She smiled, completely genuine. "And.. then I think I'd like to go back over there and take a shower.. I feel kinda gross.. You know, been traveling and stuff." She looked down at her wrinkled clothes, and winced slightly. "I suppose I should check in with everyone too... but I don't think they really are worried.." Avery shrugged, standing up and grabbing both the plates. She brought them to the kitchen, washing them by hand, and drying them, ignoring any protest from Nick.
"Really, it's the least I could do." She said, drying her hands with a smile. "Now, grand tour, I am definately dying to see the rest of this place.."

Nick ran a hand through his black hair, the sweat form his hand pushing it backwards a little and keeping it there, making it not so much spiked up as spiked back. His blue eyes glinted, and began wavering in color just slightly; hardly noticeable. He shook his head and returned to his normal demenor and appearance, grinning again. "Alright! Come this way, please." She hadn't even noticed.... I know. How lucky.
Placing a hand on Avery's shoulder, the two moved in to the main hallway. "This here's the Main. If you look to your left and right you will see three doors an each side. The one closest to the door on the left is a closet, and the one on the right is a staircase leading to the basement, which I'll show you in a minute. "Now, the doors after those ones are: on the left, a guest room," Nick opened the door he was talking about, and it showed a nice deep blue pained room with a large bed taking most of the space and a large window in front of that bed, displaying the street yard. "And the one over there's the living room that I use when people come over and I want to be formal. It's pretty much the same as the rest of the house, except it has a large TV and nice big sofas, which are covered with nice soft material. The last row of doors are both bed rooms, simmilar to but larger than the Guest room. They both have internet-ready computers. Oh, ALL the bedrooms have small bathrooms off of them, but there're only two showers in the place. One's off of the upstairs bedroom, and the other is downstairs."
Nick smiled, and pointed to the spiral staircase that went to the upper floor. "THAT, I'm afraid, is not for normal people. It goes to a hallway with about three doors, and all of them are my own--always locked. I regret to inform you that those rooms... will never be part of the formal tour. Sorry." Looking in to Avery's eyes, Nick saw a bit of dissapointment and even more interest, so he quickly diverted her attention. "Moving on to the basement!"
Leading his guest down the stairs, Nicholas smiled. The room was his favorite public room. The walls leading down the stairs were Dark Oak, and the whole thing was carpeted in a deep black carpet that was, if one felt it, soft enough to sleep on. The whole area was around the size of 80% of the house itself, and was expertly furnished; providing more than enough space and inclination to relax there. There was a huge Wide Screen, Plasma TV that stretched nearly half of the wall's length, and was cieling to floor. There was a computer, that looked like it was set up for long hours of use, as well as sevral cabinets and around 6 reclining chairs, all black leather. There was even what looked like a mini-bard against the left wall and a dark board against the right one. It was, by far the most relaxing room in the house; if you could deal without having windows.
"That's... pretty much it. Shower is through the first door to your right. Bath tub's pretty nice... you should be able to relax plenty in there. Do you have cloths to change in to, when you get out? Could be handy; wouldn't wanna get back in to dirty cloths, right? Well... Any more questions about the place?" Nick smiled, acting the perfect host.

Each room was filled with more amazement than the next, and Avery found herself very curious about the upper rooms. I wonder what he keeps up there.. she thought, but shrugged the thoughts off with the mention of a hot shower. "You mean, you really wouldn't mind?" She asked, breaking into a large smile, grabbing Nicks wrist and waiting for his answer. When he told her it would be no bother, she let out a half squeal, not being this excited about a shower in a long while. "Ah, I have a bag of clothes in the car.. there might be something clean in there." Avery went outside to get her bag, retrieving it the very second Matt and Gwynne came back from... wherever they had gone to. "Ah, hi. I'm over here... in case you were wondering..." Though I doubt you were. She said nothing more, and went back to Nick’s house, bag in tow, thanking him again for the use of his facilities.
It had been a while since Avery had taken a bath, and when she saw the large Jacuzzi tub, she knew she simply could not pass it up. There were bottles of bath gel, shampoo, conditioner, everything one would need, nicely lined up on the side of the bath, giving the whole thing a luxury hotel feel. Avery filled the tub with hot water, steam rising, and, feeling adventurous, added bubbles to the mix. Stripping and leaving her dirty clothes in a pile on the floor, Avery stepped in; a little shocked at first at the temperature, but getting used to it quickly. She ducked her head under, getting her hair wet, before leaning back and closing her eyes, enjoying the heat. The only things poking through the bubbles were Avery's head, and a single leg which was crossed over the other, her body reclined in a very relaxed state.
Before she had gotten in the bath, Avery had taken a razor and some shaving gel from her bag, and took the opportunity to shave her legs, among other things. The shampoo and conditioner beside the bath smelled of exotic fruits, and made her hair soft and cleaned thoroughly. As she went about her business in the tub, Avery hummed and sang to herself, some of her favorites being older Death Cab for Cutie songs, mixed in with some Brand New and Bright Eyes. Her musical tastes were broad, going from metal to adult alternative and even some electronica. Avery wasn't sure how long she had been in the tub, but she was so relaxed and at ease that she hardly wanted to get out.
All the while that Avery was in his bathroom, Nick was watching TV in his basement. Flipping through channels he sat in a chair that was perfectly positioned in front of the wide screen. The chair was slightly different from the others; there was stitching each arm of the chair. On the right chair was stitched in a brilliant leaf green “NaJ” in a design that looked almost plant-like. The left arm had, in red, “TkH” with a pattern that made it almost seem as though it was on fire. This was Nicholas Jekyll’s personal chair.
Avery, in the meantime, thought about the town, wondered what could have possibly happened. How can an entire town disappear? She thought, for the millionth time. Her thoughts drifted to Nick, not sure if she should tell him the real reason for their appearance in his neighborhood. He was a real nice guy, if not a little secretive himself, and hey, anyone who made her food was A-Ok in her book. Finally, after a full 45 minutes, Avery finished her bath, and let the water drain out. She stepped out, grabbing a towel and drying herself off. Rumbling through her bag, she sought out the cleanest items she could find, finally settling on a pair of cut off jean shorts, small enough to be considered Daisy Dukes, and a black cami.
After brushing her hair, but leaving it damp, and tossing her old clothes in her bag, she exited the bathroom, finding Nick in his chair, watching TV on the plasma screen. "Ah, that is just what I needed." She said, thanking him again. "Now, you're going to have to let me cook for you now… A little thank you for your hospitality I suppose." She smiled, plopping her bag on the floor next to the couch. "I won't take no for an answer either." With that said, she went upstairs to the kitchen,, Nick following her closely, and rummaged through the cabinets. She was pleased to find that he had just about everything she needed; she pulled out a mixer, and made her chocolate batter from scratch, rich, thick, and full of flavor. She greased a cake pan, and poured the mix in to it, sampling only a little of the batter, for good luck, and popping it into the preheated oven. She pulled out some caramel, and whipped cream, and finally little toffee bits, waiting for the cake to be done. When it was, she pulled it out, and poked holes all over it, drizzling the caramel into the holes and over the top. The finishing touches were whip cream to top the whole thing, and the toffee sprinkled on top.
When she was done, she brought it over to the table, placed on an expensive looking platter, a knife and a serving utensil in her hands. "This is what we like to call 'Better Than Sex Cake.'" Avery laughed, and dished them both up a piece. She waited with baited breath for him to sample his slice, and when he did, she asked eagerly of him, "So... How do you like it? Does it live up to the name?"

Nick smiled, and nodded, taking another bite to simply let his continual eating answer the question. He had not at all missed how beautiful Avery looked, especially after taking a bath. But of course, he was far too great of a gentelman to simply dog after her. Simple compliments were the only way to behave. Without looking at Avery right away, Nick dropped a line that he thought was alright, making it off to be a normal comment."The food's almost as wonderful as you look, acctually." He looked he straight in the eyes and smiled, before putting his hand to his forehead with a look of pain. "Must be a sugar rush... I don't feel so hot. Guess I should've eaten the whole thing to quickly, huh?"
Seeming to shield his face form Avery, Nicholas moved over to this sink and grabbed a glass, filling it with water and downing it immedeately. "Well... Christ, what time is it, anyway? Your friends are over at Doug's place, right? Well... if you need a place to stay, then I'm sure that we, that is, I, could easily take you and anyone else that needs a room in for a while. Some company never did any harm." The sound was shaky, studdering and rather weak. It was very strange, but Nick simply shook his head, splashing it with water and running his hand through his hair, pushing it back flat against his head, where it stayed.

Feeling her cheeks flush slightly, Avery took the compliment with a smile, and an embarrassed look downward, tucking strands of her hair behind her ears. "Oh, please.. I have no makeup on, and my hair is wet." She shook her head, taking a few more bites of the cake. She noticed Nick wasn't looking too good, and raised an eyebrow, "Hey, you okay?" She asked, but he simply said he must have downed the cake too fast. "Uhm, sorry.. I should have warned you that it was really rich." She watched him go into the kitchen and drink a glass of water, tilting her head, but not going over there. Gah, I hope he's not allergic to anything I put in there..
He offered to house her, and a few of her companions, and Avery smiled. "Oh, I wouldn't want to intrude more so than I already have.." She stood, and crossed to the kitchen where he was, her brow furrowing at his condition, "You really don't look too hot." She said, and placed a cool hand on his forehead. "Whats going on?" She asked, meaning about his health, keeping her hand where she had placed it. "Do you want to sit down?"
