<span style="font-style: italic"> Rick stared over the distance between him and his wife, that jealous seed along with the beer had taken full root and grow. It blossmed into full growth while his wife shook the other man's hand. The empty hand that wasn't choking the neck of his beer pushed through his black hair before he took long strides to reach his wifes side quickly. His gaze glanced to the man before reaching a hand down to pull Helen's hair, making her look up at him as he leaned down to stake his claim on his wife. He was rough with his kiss while his hand pulled harder on her hair. Breaking that kiss he looked to the other man.<br/><br/>"You found company while I was gone, huh? Sorry the boys drug me off with them for a while."<br/><br/>His hand let loose of her hair, just enough so that she could right herself but he hung on to her. Leaning into the back of Helen he placed his beer next to her's while extending his hand to the other man.<br/><br/>"Rick."</span><br/><br/>Helen's eyes lingered over his clothing while she laughed at the mention of his clothes, some clothes was better then none, right?<br/><br/>"Guess this is a lesson to wash your clothes more often."<br/><br/>It seemed as though she was laughing with him as she set across from him, her arms lowered from the table so that they could be folded into her lap, almost appearing proper to a extent. She licked her lower lip feeling slightly uncomfortable at what he said about his father.<br/><br/>"Iam sorry, I didn't mean to pry."<br/><br/>It seemed as though she was going to say more but before she could her husband had come up behind her and pressed into her back while pulling on her hair. Her sharp gasp was lost in the kiss, as painful as it was. When her husband broke that kiss she looked at him confused by his action. She was a little worried as well when she moved her attention back and forth between her husband and Eric.<br/><br/>"Yes this is my husband that I was waiting for."<br/><br/>She wasn't any less kind to him even with her husband hanging over her shoulder. At this point she only hoped that things would be smooth without any trouble.
