...A concerned on his face as he stepped out of his suite, just out of a phone call with his beloved sister Sarah...She had seemed a bit distraught during their conversation he thought as the door was closed behind him just before beginning his trek down the corridor. A stern look comes over his face during his recollection of the discussion of coming events with his younger sister, placing his hands into his front pocket with his eyes slightly downcast towards the carpet his feet carried him across at a moderate pace...Her demeanor as of late playing over and over through his mind...Almost if placing him in a trance like state the entire journey towards the elevator towards the end of the corridor his suite was located on...
Within minutes he had arrived, releasing a small grunt as one particular thought found it's way into his brain...Something specific about their discussion struck him all of a sudden...Something in particular she stated which had him wondering...No...She couldn't be...
He quickly attempted to shake the thoughts away as his arm extended, pressing the button to call forth the cargo for his descent...Afterwards, a few steps were taken back, redirecting his focus towards the carpet beneath once more as he awaited...Within moments the sound of the car coming to a stop could be heard, forcing him to raise his vision, gazing at the door before him awaiting it to open so he could board the car... The elevator doors slowly began to separate slowly...A few seconds passed by and once they were fully ajar, His Majesty's vision met that of...

.:Destiny Knight of Course. ;D The one and only. As she saw who praytel was standing outside the elevator. She couldn't help but smile a bit. She hadn't seen him in quite awhile. Too long if you asked her. She watched him walked into the elevator and waited for the doors to close while gazing upon her once former lover before saying...:.
"Well Hi there Cross  ." |

A raised eyebrow shown as he shook his head slightly stepping into the elevator slowly...I guess the saying about it being a small world is in fact...Fact hm?...No matter, he fully enters the car, positioning himself on the opposite side from where Destiny stood, smirk across her face at the chances of the two of them of all people being in this predicament...He knew these type of things rarely happened in real life but...What could one do? He released a small sigh as his face too began to show a trace of a smile over the ordeal before nodding his head towards the numbered keys closest to Destiny as he spoke...
Hello Destiny. Looking stunning as always. Would you mind?...Ground floor if it's not too much to ask?

.:She reaches out with her right hand and pressed the ground floor button. The smile on her face wasn't about the odd chances of the meeting... but... it was of pure happiness to see him again.:.
"So... Cross, how have you been lately? I haven't heard from you in quite awhile..." |

His eyes remained on her hand, as her arm extended towards the ground floor button just as the sound of the sliding doors closing could be heard throughout the car...Moments later it began it's descent, hearing her words, his facial expression perked up slightly, as his vision arose meeting hers once more as he replied...
*Sigh* Well Destiny...Honestly I've been better actually. Nothing too serious I might add but...I do believe I am long...LONG...Overdue for a vacation. It's hard and grueling work being the pinnacle of the sport that I am of course. But...I'm sure I'll be quite fine once a little rest and relaxation is apparent for yours truly...
His words paused momentarily, seeing the genuine smile across her face as he spoke...The gesture was returned as he returned the inquiry with...
And yourself Destiny? How have YOU been lately? Hope all is well with you and yours of course. I hear you've found a few unlikely friends as of late as well. Do tell.

"Well, as with you... things could be better...."
.:Destiny glanced downwards at the floor of the elevator for a second. Making sure not to mention to trip to the clinic she took with Sarah and Laura...:.
"But my friends? Well ... I tried to make things better with them awhile back and well... We've become friends. Sarah and Laura are just awkwardly nice to me recently. I would have thought they both would hold a grudge against me ya know?" |

He nodded slightly hearing her words...Indeed he too thought that such an occurrence would never come to fruition yet...It had in fact done just that...Perhaps he underestimated the quality of all three women involved in that unlikely trio of friends...There was a brief moment of silence between the two of them as His Majesty allowed for her words to settle in his thoughts for a few seconds...His frame leaned against the wall of the elevator as the movements of the car forced slight movements from him, his arm extended along one of the metal hand rails to further support his weight as he gazed over Destiny behind his lightly tinted glasses before responding again...
Yes of course. I too thought that to be the case. I guess we never really know WHAT to expect from people...Do we Destiny? And of course, as a young lovely lady told me once a...Not so long time ago..."Making mistakes is only human"...I do believe those were her words if I'm correct. But...All in all, I have to admit that it was in fact a true statement. We ALL...Make mistakes. At least you were able to salvage a few friendships from all of the, for lack of a better word, drama we were involved in not that long ago. You look as if you're at least...Moderately happy as well.

"Yea.... I look it don't I?"
.:Destiny sighed. Sure she was a little bit happy, but only a sliver of what she was when she was around Cross. But, would she tell him that?:.
"But, there is really only one thing that could actually make me fully happy again..." |

An eyebrow raised slightly hearing her words just as the slightest of his hand movements had ensued, his hand finding it's way through his long dark brown hair before his eyes meeting hers once more with a look of concern...
Which would be...?

"Like you actually have to ask?"
.:She just shook her head. She was surprising that it wasn't blatantly obvious..:.
"What do you think I want? What do you think is the thing I miss every waking moment of every day? What do you think is the thing that I miss every time I wake up and realize that I probably won't see it that day? Who do you think is the person that I try and get back every time I see him?" |

His eyes redirect from hers, hearing her statement answering his inquiry...He was realizing he had actually set himself up for that one. Perhaps a bit of R & R was in dire need for the man who would be King...His vision remained across the car for a moment...Heavily focusing on the slow...Slow dwindling numbers lighting up one after another...Seemingly taking forever in his mind. Perhaps because of the latest statement from his former lover just seconds ago...Not one word was spoken by him...Of course he could offer up some witty come back as he always did but...This time he chose otherwise...He chose to go with silence for the moment in time, not wanting to further upset the young beauty anymore than he felt she could possibly be over the way their relationship ended...He just continued to gaze ahead, seemingly into space, hoping that the elevator ride would soon end before things took a turn for the worse...

.:Silence? That certainly wasn't something she expected. Nor did she want it. She wanted some sort of answer... Just silence and him breaking eye contact, it was almost devastating to her. She just shook her head as she turned her head away from him. She tried to hold it back but, it wasn't possible as one lone tear rolled down her cheek. But it was quickly wiped off as she stayed in silence with him...:. |

His eyes remained focused on the numbers still dwindling down one by one...Suddenly interrupted by the faintest whimper he could have sworn...His worse fear in such a situation as he rose redirected his vision back to the young woman standing no more than 7 o 8 feet away, just in time to see the single tear slowly descend down her cheek...A long sigh escaped his lips, knowing that even in his efforts to not upset her? He had done just that...His arm slowly rose from it's position along the hand rail removing the glasses from upon his brow as he made his best attempt to at least console her as much as possible, offering...
Dez?...Let's not do this. Not now. Just...Let's calm down and not let things get out of hand...I'm sure if...
But his words were interrupted by a dinging sound, signaling that they had arrived at the desired floor...He let out another sigh, making his way across the elevator and sending his hand crashing into the corresponding button, sending the elevator back up to the floor where his suite was located. He felt he had to at least not leave her in this state of mind. He turned slightly , now only a few feet away from her as he leaned against the hand rail once more, focusing a few feet away in front of him before speaking just as the elevator had begun to rise once more...
Alright...Alright Dez...Perhaps I was wrong in not speaking a single word after hearing your words...I can admit that. I could have...Offered something at least but...Let's not do the crying thing alright? Please let's just be calm and rational about this if we can...
His vision then was once again redirected towards her, only a few feet away by this point, staring a hole through the young beauty awaiting the moment where she would raise her head to face him once again...

.:She closed her eyes and titled her head upwards. Trying to spot any and all tears that were about to come. Luckily for her that there was only one tear. She tilted her head back down as she opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She was going to try her best and not 'Do The Crying thing'. As she finished the breath, she could barely squeak out in a low tone, one that was audible yet not as loud as he normal speaking.:.
"Okay...." |

A sigh of relief seeing that she indeed was going to attempt to keep the tears to a minimum...First part of the mission was complete but...As far as the second leg of it? That would surely be a bit more difficult...He turns to her, seeing her finally calming down at least a bit before responding in a low voice after a raised eyebrow...
Destiny...I'm confused about all of this a bit. What exactly...Do you want from me? Of course I understand you still have...Feelings for me and all...And...During our last conversation, I thought I cleared up precisely where I stood on the matter... I mean...What do you expect me to do exactly when...I just think...I think things have gotten so screwed up...That neither of us know what we're doing or saying at any given time...It's just...It's madness at the moment in time and I'm just not completely sure of what to do nor to say...This is most certainly NOT a pretty predicament we have before us I must say...

"Cross.... what I want is.... well... you..."
.:As she said that, she had turned her upwards head to look right at him. Her eyes lock with his. Her emotion clearly evident in her gaze. She took a few steps forward so she was right next to him. She continued to gaze into his eyes as she ran her hand along the handrail which his hand was on. Her hand lays against his as she leans in and presses her lips against his. No tongue...just... her lips against his. Something she had missed for so long...:. |

..An initial moment of shock from His Majesty as he felt her lips press gently against his, engaging in an impromptu kiss...The touch of her lips against his was most familiar...Something he had encountered many a time before from the young beauty...Not the first time such a thing had occurred in this very elevator, yet this instance was much more shocking and surprising as it was the last reaction he expected at this very moment from Destiny...The most subtle exchange between the two, broken seemingly suddenly by the dinging sound of the elevator once again arriving on the floor where His Majesty's suite was located, the doors slowly opening momentarily, as they both divert their attention towards the opening to see...No one standing there...A brief moment of silence, the doors once again slowly closing once again after an extended arm from the King sends the elevator back down for a second time, followed by a deep breath, as he allows for his frame to relax against the elevator wall once again...Slowly turning his head towards Destiny once more, a look of confusion ever present in his facial expressions...Silence...But quite different from his initial moment of the same...This time clearly shocked beyond words as they continued to gaze at one another neither speaking a single word, but clearly communicating with their facial expressions...

.:Her grip on his hand tightened as she continued to gaze into his eyes after her forward movement. This would be the moment that decided the future... She never broke eye contact with him as she spoke up with a voice that was a bit shaky... not too bad though.:.
"Cross...what are the chances of us.... getting back together?" |

The question he knew was coming...And it had finally arrived, hearing the shakiness in her words, clearly a bit reluctant to pose such a question towards His Majesty on this day...Their eyes had remained locked momentarily, him gaging just how serious she was in her inquiry while she was obviously awaiting the answer to a question she had most likely been longing to ask...Their exchange in gazes wavered not in the least as his mind began to decipher the possibility of such a thing occurring...What was truly restricting from doing so?...Past mistakes which the both of them had succumb to over the course of their time of knowing one another?...The ever reoccurring human emotion of insecurity, coupled with fear of past instances resurfacing and rearing their hideous heads again?...Or perhaps the obvious?...
The ever talkative...Power hungry...Money lusting...Ever absent and secretive...Dayna...Mariano...A woman who had seemingly "given" her heart to him? A woman whom he had initially thought to be worth his time as well as his effort. A woman whom he had thought would have been perhaps the "Queen" to his "King"...And possibly even more? A woman who had proclaimed..."Love" for His Majesty...Pledging and promising loyalty...And that nothing...Nothing would ever come between the two of them. A nice thought yes? Yet it wasn't real. It wasn't genuine...At all...No...Quite the contrary actually...He rarely saw the woman in person and when he DID make an overture towards her to seek some sort of..."Interaction", she readily retreated...The precise same thing she had accused him of not that very long ago...Interesting is it not? Perhaps she believed he was her "property" or that he was the equivalent of a puppy that would just sit by...Idle...Awaiting her return? How laughable...Or perhaps Mr. Carnage and she shared much more than just a..."Business relationship"?...Or perhaps Mr. Xavier even? He wouldn't put it past her.Not with how she hungered for money, power and attention...Something Cross had come to realize over the course of the brief yet interesting time with Dayna...Just as others had suggested, she was more power & money hungry that even he could have ever been...So much so that she would resort to forcing herself put on charade after charade proclaiming feelings that never truly existed...A fabricated existence was clearly apparent...Such a sad instance...Truly it was yet...As of this moment in time?...'Twas no longer any concern of His Majesty's...He now had come to the realization that there was a young woman who felt the things previously mentioned...And she was mere inches from him at this very moment...
His eyes redirect momentarily...Thinking over the possibility...He couldn't lie to himself nor Destiny. There were still something between the two of them. They were both aware of it...Yet now...It seemed that validation of the ordeal between the two of them was upon them...His eyes returned to meet hers just as the elevator once again reaches the ground floor...A smirk showing on his face as the grip she had upon his hand was returned ten fold by his...Bringing a smile to both hers and his face...Perhaps...Just perhaps she could receive what she proclaimed to want so very much...Only time would tell..TO BE CONTINUED...
