[[cont. from Dandy and his bike]] Sweetheart looked out of the car window as they drove closer to Teddy's home. "Where do you live nowadays, Teddy?" she asked, blushing a little. "I don't... recall you mentioning that." [[mainly because I have no idea where he lives on the map or anything ]]

Teddy glanced over at Sweetheart, a small smile on his lips. "Well," He bit his bottom lip for a second, as he often did when nervous. Which wasn't often. "I live in the apartment buildings a few blocks away. But not the nice part, oh no. The shitty, old part." He chuckled softly, his blue eyes sparkling as he watched the road.
Despite all of the changes he'd gone through, Teddy still got nervous around Sweetheart. There was just something different about the girl. And he loved it.

Sweetheart never noticed Teddy's nervousness. She was just ever so happy to be there with him. She smiled a little and looked at him shyly.
"Well, I'll be happy to see it anyway."

Teddy smiled and pulled into the parking garage. Within a few minutes they had parked, entered the building, and were now standing in front of the apartment's beaten up, pea green, metal door. So very classy.
With one swift motion Teddy unlocked the door and heaved it open. Stepping to the side, he allowed room for Sweetheart to enter. "Home sweet home."
The apartment was shockingly clean. The walls were all white with pale, hardwood floors. The furniture was mismatched and old, but comfortable. There were only a few pictures and paintings on the walls, they couldn't afford to decorate the place. They could barely afford to keep the place cool, which meant that the apartment was quite warm at the moment. The windows were open and fans were circulating air. Bp had obviously been home for a few minutes and then left. She'd be gone until Sweetheart returned home, no doubt.
Pulling himself from his revere, Teddy remained by the door. His eyes were locked on the beauty standing before him.

Sweetheart looked around at the rather... quaint apartment. She realised at that moment just how different their worlds were. She was so used to having fancy things around her that she didn't much even think of it anymore. To Teddy's home not even having a good air conditioning.
Not that any of that mattered. Nothing like that could ever matter with true love. She smiled and glanced at Teddy as she walked in.
"It's lovely, Teddy," she said with a soft voice. She really did like it. It was a sharp but comfortable contrast to the luxury she had lived with for the most of her life. She stopped to look at one painting on the wall.

Teddy closed the door gently and walked up beside Sweetheart. He was relieved she hadn't burst into laughter, that would have killed him.
Looking from Sweetheart to the painting, Teddy bit his lip again. "Lance did that one." The canvas was covered in random globs of paint. Each stroke added emotion to the piece, and the bright red against white and black made for a chilling sight. "I think he was pissed off when he did it."
Rubbing the back of his neck, Teddy glanced around quickly. "Uh, would you like something to drink? Sorry it's so hot in here."

Sweetheart nodded quietly. She wondered what Lancer had been thinking when he'd painted the picture. He'd been such a lovely boy, and she'd half lost her heart to him at one point. Had it not been for Teddy, that is. Her mind drifted for a moment in thoughts of what Lancer was up to these days, and what had become of him. She didn't recall seeing him much in a long time.
"Uh, would you like something to drink? Sorry it's so hot in here."
She was startled back to the reality at hand and smiled to Teddy, tearing her eyes away from the painting. She found it disturbing, somehow.
"Oh, sure," she said. "That would be lovely." Then she gave a laugh. "And don't worry, it's all right. It's summer, it's supposed to be hot. You should've been in Italy with us. It was really hot there, and my grandfather dislikes modern things, so he hasn't put up air conditioning to the villa. He says it would destroy the classical feel of the place."

Teddy chuckled as he walked into the kitchen. Once hidden behind the wall, he began to speak. "I probably would have sweat my balls off." And there it was. Teddy silently cursed at himself. He had to watch his mouth unless he planned on offending the poor redhead.
Changing the subject as quickly as possible, Teddy opened the fridge. His blue eyes glanced at the few items that were still edible as he spoke. "Okay, we have coke, lemonade, beer, Smirnoff, some sort of weird juice..." He moved to one of the cupboards. "Whiskey, puckers, rum..." He opened the freezer and then closed it. "Vodka, and of course, water."
Leaning a couple of feet over, Teddy peeked his head around the corner and looked at Sweetheart. He allowed his head to rest against the wall. It was times like these that he appeared to be a little boy. "What'll it be m'lady?"

Sweetheart blushed a little at Teddy's graphic expression, but was less embarrassed than Teddy probably thought. She was getting used to talk like that. And deep within, she wasn't quite as prude little thing as everyone seemed to take her for. She blushed even deeper when she remembered her most exciting moment so far, when she had persuaded Chip into taking a few more... daring photographs of her.
She smiled to Teddy, giggling a little to the "m'lady" bit. She looked at him affectionately. He was such a darling, in the end, wasn't he? He'd always been. Sweetheart hoped he always would.
"Oh, eh, lemonade, perhaps," she said, a little nervous, though she wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was the thinking of those photographs. She hoped Chip kept the negatives safe somewhere.
It had never occurred to her to demand them for her own safekeeping. She couldn't imagine letting anyone find those from her room. Her mother would absolutely die!

Teddy simlply nodded and returned to the kitchen. He poured her a glass of lemonade and grabbed himself a raspberry Smirnoff.
He returned to the living room and held the glass out to Sweetheart. It was a good thing he had no knowledge of the girl's photographs. She'd have to keep them hidden for sure.

Sweetheart smiled as he took the glass. She was a little nervous and didn't quite know what to do, precisely. What to say. They had been apart so long. It appeared almost as though there was nothing to talk about. He hadn't asked her to sit. The social rules her father had kept pounding on her for the past years had their effect, and she felt unsure of taking a seat before gallantly offered to.
"So... you live here with Bp?" she asked, then, trying to get a hang of his life.
[[I'm not sure what she would know and what she wouldn't, of him.]]

[Hmm, well here's some quick info and you can use whatever you want of it: He's a stoner, he's a whore, he works at Rock of Ages as a manager, he's got grades averaging in the c's and low b's. He's never had a serious relationship... um.. lol I'm not sure what else you'd like to know.]
Teddy choked on his drink a little when Sweetheart asked him about Bp. He had wanted to avoid that topic, but it caught up with him. He wiped his mouth and smiled at his reaction. "Yeah."
Looking down, Teddy glanced at the couch behind them and sat down. He pat the spot next to him, signaling for Sweetheart to sit.

[[lol She'd mainly know at this point what Teddy's told her, I think. So it's probably safe to assume she'd know about the Rock of Ages and the grades but as for the stoner and whore part, I somehow have a feeling he wouldn't have mentioned that. (Is that, by the way, like a real whore or more metaphorically speaking?)]] Sweetheart frowned a little when Teddy appeared to nearly choke on his drink. A sensitive topic. That made her a little sad. Did it mean he was involved with her, and didn't want to tell her? She sat down next to him, however, sipping on her drink and trying to look casual. She had never been very good at it, so she ended up blushing a little. "You seem to be good friends," she said. She burned to know more about Bp. Were they just friends? How could they be, living together like that? But then, why did he invite her there? Just for old times sake? She felt a pang at the thought. No one thought her attractive. She was just the neighbour girl to everyone, wasn't she? Not even Ace had tried anything on her, and he was flirting with everyone. She recalled Vinnie. Well, he had certainly seemed to appreciate the package. She blushed at the thought. She preferred not to meet Vinnie again.

[lol Well, she'll probably find out soon. ;) And it's metaphorically speaking.]
Teddy relaxed a little at the next comment. Nothing was going on between them. Well, aside from the occasional romp in the hay.
"Yeah. She's got to be one of my best friends." He nodded and sipped at his drink. "But we're just friends...well... friends with benefits." Teddy couldn't bring himself to look at Sweetheart as he spoke those words. He didn't want to tell her, but she deserved to know now rather than later.
Blue eyes trailed to the coffee table that was only a couple feet away. He was afraid of Sweetheart's reaction. What would she say? Just then, his eyes fell upon the bong sitting on the table. He swallowed hard and hoped to God she wouldn't see it. Or know what it was. At this rate, Teddy was sure she was going to hate him.

[[lol thought as much]]
Sweetheart was puzzled now. She was too innocent to realise what he meant with... benefits. She was glad to hear they were just friends, but... "benefits"?
"Ehh..." she frowned a little, not in fact noticing the bong. Though, if she had, she would not have recognised it for what it was. "Benefits?" she asked. She needed to know.
