How many times had she looked up at that profile? How many times had she traced the hard line of his jaw either with her gaze or her lips? Just thinking of it now made her lick her lips unconsciously--though she realized what she had done halfway through the motion and nearly stopped herself. This was... it had been a seriously bad idea.<br/><br/>Once upon a time Riley might have slid right into Drake's lap or teased him mercilessly through some meeting like this until he made her stop but now as she watched his lips form each word he uttered and heard his casual response part of her just wanted to hit him. She'd given more of herself to him than she'd ever given to anyone before or since and he'd cast it aside. Ruined it. Oh she had tried back then to rationalize and see things from his perspective but in the end it had still come down to the fact that he hadn't trusted her. Had treated her like some common would-be gold digger. And if he'd managed that lie so effortlessly over the time they were together then who knew what else he had lied about. She'd no longer been able to trust that man she'd fallen head over heels for was even real. And that had hurt far worse than anything Riley had ever experienced before.<br/><br/>Gawd, it still hurt.<br/><br/>Hearing his question Riley swallowed thickly, hating that her body had betrayed even that much. Back then, before, she'd have just let him have it. She have just opened the flood gates and let out everything she was feeling but time and experience had taught her some restraint. Though her mask of vague amusement was threatening to unravel at the seams she managed to maintain her smirk and after clearing her throat slightly--dammit!--she spoke up.<br/><br/>"I've been fine, Drake. Life got...," Painful. Hard. Busy. Complicated. Perfect. "...<em>interesting</em>, after we last spoke." She shrugged and tugged her gaze away from him to face forward once more, part of her praying that whatever was supposed to happen here would go ahead and start already. "How about yooo--"<br/><br/>Her voice trailed off as something glimpsed from the corner of her eye caught her attention. Turning her head to better see the woman who had now entered her mouth remained partially pursed, halfway through forming her last word as she got a rather good look at the bare-assed female. Friends back home often teased that sometimes Riley thought just like a guy and right at that particular moment she really couldn't have refuted that point given what flashed through her head and she blinked once and then again in that slow manner that suggested she wasn't quite believing what she was seeing.<em>Tits and ass, holy shit Batman!</em><br/><br/>Her head almost tilted as she watched the woman keep coming but she caught herself and toyed with the end of her braid instead, a familiar form of fidgeting for those that knew her. "Hell to the naw! I seriously hope that is<em>not</em>the expected dress code!" She said aloud, mostly to herself but certainly anyone close enough would over hear her. Riley didn't have much in the way of body issues but parading about<span class="bbc_u">all</span>the time in heels and nothing else? No sir!<br/><br/><em>Except you'd have done it for</em>him<em> if he had asked.</em><br/><br/>SHUT UP, BRAIN!<br/><br/>The unwanted thoughts managed to bring Riley back to her present situation and saw her risking yet another glance at Drake between noting the few others who came through the door. Maybe she should move? Lord knew she didn't want anyone mistaking this little... reunion for something more than what it was.
