You Spin Me Right Round (Dorian)

[Samantha Montgomery]

She rolled her eyes at the well deserved comment but she was getting frustrated herself. She didn't want to follow him, but where was he going? The astronomy tower? Was he meeting someone there? Maybe a girl...maybe later...

She sneered at that thought, then she groaned inwardly at herself when her foots started trailing after him of their own volition, he was far enough away that she had to make the decision soon to follow him or not and her feet decided for her.

She didn't say anything as she followed him, soon it became somewhat a game, she wondered if he knew she was following him, she put a spell on her shoes not to make a sound as she walked after him and stayed in the shadows, unsure of the reason this was amusing her.

[Dorian Knight]

You could always kind of feel a person following you, though, and he knew, but he didn't know why she was following him. It made no sense. She was mad at him and making stupid comments to him... and now she was following him?

"I could be walking in circles for all you know," he commented casually after a little while.

[Samantha Montgomery]

She laughed, "You're not the type to do anything without purpose...what are you doing?" she asked gentling her voice allowing her curiosity to form a temporary truce. She wasn't sure why she had followed him, why she didn't just hie herself off to bed for the night when she was exhausted...but she was curious and now she just couldn't help herself.

[Dorian Knight]

"Godric, you are the queen of hot and cold, aren't you?" he turned around, catching her eyes again, finally. He had mentioned her hot and cold before, and she just never actually quit it. It had lain dormant for a while, but now it was back.

"I'm going to the Room of Requirement, if you must know."

[Samantha Montgomery]

She was surprised when he turned around and came up short almost colliding into him, her eyes blinked prettily and she wore an innocent expression, however her eyes gave her away as a hint of mischief sparkled through.

But then he mentioned the Room of Requirement.

"What's that?" she asked curious and now interested.

[Dorian Knight]

Ryan frowned. He didn't want to explain these things or really deal with her in any way right now.

"You're like a six year old kid, you know that? Throwing a tantrum one minute and then all curious about something the adults are playing with the next. The Room of Requirement is just a room that you can use if you need it. I need it right now, so I'm using it."

[Samantha Montgomery]

Sam frowned right after him and a flash of hurt crossed her features that he saw her as a six year old, and more importantly that he was right.

But she was terrified of him, and of what happened when they were alone together, the way she felt. She didn't want to feel those things...and at the same time it was so subtle...he roped her subconscious in by showing her glimpses of a world she never thought she'd see and she wanted it.

He made her curious she was just so damn curious.

"Sorry." she muttered then looked at the ground not sad not hurt just confused and trying to work things out in her head, he was right about her and she didn't like that, it was probably best that she just went down to bed no matter how bad she wanted to know what the room of requirement was.

[Dorian Knight]

Ryan shook his head when she muttered her apology. She really was like a little kid. Reprimand her once and she got all mopey.

He couldn’t explain why he found her so irritating suddenly, except that he was done with her hot and cold attitude towards him.

“Stop it. I don’t feel guilty.”

[Samantha Montgomery]

"I wasn't asking you to feel guilty." she said as her brow furrowed and she frowned at him. She gave him one last lingering look before she spun around and started stalking the other way.

For some inexplicable reason her heart was pounding, and she could feel tears welling behind her eyes.

She didn't understand it, and she didn't want to understand it, she just wanted it to go away.

[Dorian Knight]

Ryan growled deep in his throat. So he lied. He did feel guilty. Why the hell did he feel guilty? She was being immature and rude and petulant and he was sick of it, quite frankly.

"Sam," He said, startling himself. "Sam, where are you going?"

[Samantha Montgomery]

She stopped only because he nearly gave her a heart attack in surprising her then bit her lip.

Where was she going?

What kind of question was that? He wanted her to leave didn't he? That was why he was being short with her?

She turned and faced him innocently bewildered by his question, "I...I'm going to my room" she said as if he should have figured that out.

[Dorian Knight]

(*Rolls eyes* Yeah, he wanted her to leave, didn't he?)

"Your curiosity died that quick? I'm amazed," he said, more sarcastically than he meant to, and he was once again left wondering why he was being so short with her. He liked her. She intrigued him. But seriously, she played more games than anyone he knew, and the irritating part was that she probably didn't realize it.

[Samantha Montgomery]

(Lol she could still go)

She eyed him warily and pressed her lips together to keep from responding right away. Part of her defenses wanted to rally together and press the advantage that he had been a jerk a few moments ago. Then when she looked past his short tone and saw the frustration in his eyes she was hard pressed not to smile. She had caused that frustration so perhaps she was to blame. Impishly as if she had figured all that out she smiled anyway, but not in amusement just rather coyly.

Games? Her? Never.

Hot and Cold? Never.

Smiling wider she walked sweetly back in his direction her eyes demurely lowered to the floor as her hips swung side to side lightly with a natural grace. She wasn't wearing the usual robe which might have obstructed the view. But since she was headed to bed and it was so late she had worn her pajamas, a silk tank top and silk pants, underneath her robe for her astronomy lesson then while writing her letter home had taken the offending material off. She didn't think she'd run into him or anyone else on her way down.

She was surprised now that she had ran into him that she was happy for the occasion. When she reached an appropriate distance she glanced up at him again, "It's not completely dead." she admitted then tilted her chin up even more to catch his eyes, her expression softened, "What's the room of requirement?"

[Dorian Knight]

And there it was.

"You know, your mood swings are kind of giving me whiplash," he told her, his eyes wary as they watched her stride back to him.

"And nothing's in that room right now," he answered, stepping back from her.

[Samantha Montgomery]

She laughed something akin to a tinkling light sound letting her head fall back, she spun him around a few times tonight to be sure. The conflicting emotions she felt as they played whatever game they were playing, or rather she was playing were confusing and she didn't quite know how to act at all.

"Why would you go there then?" she asked tilting her head innocently.

[Dorian Knight]

"Because I want to," Ryan replied, tight lipped and watching her to try and determine if she was just messing with him again. Maybe all of her relationships, every one she had, were a game to her. He could almost believe it.

"Weren't you leaving?"

[Samantha Montgomery]

Samantha frowned at him then, " Weren't you through being an ass?" she asked stubbornly and then bit her lip she blinked downwards, "I'm sorry." she grumbled. She was angry with herself for the strain she had put on their relationship and now the way that he was reacting to her was purely upsetting.

[Dorian Knight]

"Oh, I'm the ass?"

Dorian closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath. Ridiculous, but he couldn't let her see that she was getting to him. Like she didn't already know.

"Okay. Yes, I am through being an ass."

[Samantha Montgomery]

She was still looking downward from speaking out against him biting her inner lip nervously but doing her best not to show him that. In a gesture, inspired by what she couldn't imagine, she reached out to take his hand in hers further amazed that his were much larger than hers. Her eyes then scaled up his frame to cling to his. In one more softening gesture, her last she told herself, she smiled feebly.

"Show me the room...?" she asked in a half whisper.

[Dorian Knight]

"No," Ryan said instantly, but the softened, feeling bad for the immidiate no. "Why?" He asked, his eyes even softening in an apologetic manner.

"Why do you want to see the room?" He asked, this time in a more controlled voice, and he didn't quite feel like he was talking to a child anymore.
