[Jarod appears]

So this is what they call a "Flood", is that correct?

OOC: Jarod is affected by the Truth flood.

[he scowls, but replies:]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[and he takes a bite of Pez]

[Parker is trying to quit smoking. She's been trying quite hard to quit smoking, but now with this she fumbles in the pocket of her suit for the cigarettes she knows are there somewhere.]

What would you have done if I had left the Centre? If someone hadn't Parker paused quickly] Killed him? Would you still have called me at three in the morning?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I'd have tried to be happy for you. Thomas was a good man, you deserved that.

And, yes, probably.

[yourunichase]

[Parker chuckled softly, but it was a very sad and bitter laugh.]

He would have kicked your ass over that, you know.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

No he wouldn't. He was confident in how much you loved him.

[yep, you are still in jealous!Jarod ville. He looks away and back to the dominoes]

[yourunichase]

I did love him. [She said softly.] I loved him so much but...

[Parker just frowned and then she found her cigarettes and lit one.]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

My room.

[offers her a half-empty glass of water to extinguish her cigarette]

[yourunichase]

Seriously? Oh you son of a bitch.

[Parker scowled at him and took a long drag of it before she dropped it into the glass.]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Now, now, Miss Parker. You don't want to end up like Mr. Raines, do you?

[and he sets the glass aside]

[yourunichase]

I should shoot you for that.

[Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

You've had the opportunity in the past.

[yourunichase]

Yeah I have, and I didn't shoot you. Are you going to ask me why?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I already know.

[yourunichase]

Yeah, you smug bastard, why is that?

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

For the same reason you don't know the answer if someone asks you if you love me.

[yourunichase]

Ugh. I hate you sometimes, Jarod.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

And I know that that is absolutely the truth.

[yourunichase]

You smug son of a bitch. [She scowled again.]

So what the hell do we do now, Jarod?

[She paused.]

I feel like I just keep asking this question and not getting a fucking answer.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I don't know. [which happens to also be the absolute truth]

What do you want to do right now?

[yourunichase]

Kiss you. [She looked completely mortified after that.] Smack you.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[he takes a step towards her again]

Pick one.

[yourunichase]

You pick one!

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

It's never been my decision, Miss Parker. It's yours.

[yourunichase]

Oh go to hell.

[And then she grabbed him by the lapels and jerked him close to her, kissing him.]

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

[Jarod starts at the sudden grab, but kisses her back instantly, wrapping his arms around her back and pulling her close as he does]
