She yawned and reluctantly let him go as he slipped out from beneath the covers, stretching out across the entirety of the bed once he'd vacated it. She heard the shower running and contemplated going in to join him - it would save water and time if they showered together, but she knew they would end up doing more than showering and then that would not be saving time. Still tempting... but her stomach growled loudly and she sighed - food first. Sitting up, she pushed her long hair back from her face and glanced at the wardrobe, wondering if she should forgoe the shower - but she felt a little sticky from cuddling with Jack whilst she slept and it would help her feel refreshed, she knew that.
"bathrooms free." Well she figured she may as well use it. Getting out of bed, she scurried past him, unable to stop herself appreciating his half naked-ness - it was right there. She pressed her lips together and paused so she could skate her fingers along his abs - damn it - but then she forced herself to keep walking and hopped in the shower. She didn't take long either - just enough to wash her hair, brushing it in the shower and leaving it down to dry, she wrapped her towel around herself and stepped back into the room, grabbing some clothes from her wardrobe; a warm jumper and a pair of jeans. "I wish they delivered."
She felt him smile against her lips, and she couldn't help but respond with one of her own, snuggling into his warmth and trying to forget the world outside of the pile of blankets and pillows. "morning beautiful. . like a baby, you?" She stretched a little, enjoying the way her muscles pulled then loosened, sinking into the soft mattress. "Mmm slept like the dead," She agreed, feeling somewhat refreshed for the good nights sleep. She wasn't sure if he had to work or get to class this morning or if they had free time, but she assumed they had at least a few hours when he suggested, "Fancy breakfast from Hazel's?" Jade laughed when his stomach rumbled, and she nodded, reluctantly releasing him from her hold. "Definitely breakfast," She agreed, going to sit up and stretch properly.
She felt him stir beneath her arm, and she hid a smile against his back, tucking her chin down to cuddle into him. It was nice being big spoon once in a while, and she wasn't ready to get him yet. She felt his hand rest onto of hers and relaxed further, sinking into her pillows. She wasn't working until this afternoon, where she'd be sitting in on a professors class to make notes. This morning was free, and she intended to make the most of it. She didn't sleep in very often anymore, but it didn't mean she had to leave her bedroom. Pastries for breakfast sounded good though, if only they did home deliveries - she didn't want to get dressed and go out into the cold just yet.
Jade felt the change in Jack as he woke up properly, rolling over to face her. She moved her arm so that he could move, and then cuddled into him again, not wanting to face the cold outside the duvet. "morning. ." She smiled softly and kissed him gently, way past caring about morning breath these days. "Good morning, sleep well?"
What was she doing? This was the most stupid thing she'd ever done. She was jeopardising everything, her entire life, for this. Was it even worth it? She didn't want to think too hard on that question, because the answer should be no. It was just sex, it shouldn't be worth anything. Whether it was good or not (obviously the former), did not matter, it didn't factor into the equation. She could find that elsewhere, but the horrifying part was she didn't want to examine that question, because she couldn't honestly say no. And that was a problem. A huge one. Okay, on the one hand, he was only a couple years her junior, he was in university, and she was only in her training years of teaching. She wasn't his teacher, it was a fluke she'd taught him in the first place and it shouldn't happen again - but it could.
Technicalities. If she was caught she'd at least be fired, probably lose out on any possibility of finishing her degree and becoming a fully fledged professor. She was jeoparadising everything. And yet... She looked down at the innocent boyish face of the young man in her bed and sighed quietly. He looked so sweet when he slept - probably because his big mouth was shut and he couldn't talk his way into trouble. She carefully lay back against the pillows, her soft smile falling as she tucked an arm over him for comfort. She was screwed really, either way. Damn Jackson.

FATHER(S): jacob shaun adams - 60 - missing MOTHER(S): melanie tina adams - 56 - missing STEP-PARENT(S): none OTHER HALF: dating JACKSON WILLIAM O'HARA - 18- student/barista SIBLINGS: joshua jake adams - twenty-one - twin - law student in nottingham CHILDREN: currently pregnant
they used to be quite a happy family, living in the middle of london as children wasn't easy but they went to the park often and went to a nice school and all. their parents adored josh and jade, who happened to be twins, josh being two minutes younger than his sister which jade never let him forget. however their parents just weren't happy with their lives - their jobs really. they didn't want to be stuck inside at desks their whole lives, and yet with two young children at the age of four they couldn't travel half way around the world. at first they tried, they took their two children travelling around england and a few other places with them to begin with, but it wasn't fair on them, and their education soon came to lack in places, and so when the twins turned eleven their parents decided it was time to drop them off at their aunt and uncle's whilst they went off to explore the world.
they sent regular cards and letters and presents and called a lot. at first they came home practically every week but soon it became every two weeks, then every three until sometimes they were gone for months at a time. the two children never felt a connection to their aunt and uncle, both were quite strict and old-fashioned christians who just didn't care enough about the two, and so life at home was often tense. josh and jade stuck together throughout it, but as they grew older josh began to resent their parents lack of interest in them both. whenever they rang there was a tension that never used to be there, they were drifting from their parents - they were strangers with their own flesh and blood. even their aunt became more a mother than their own mum, and their uncle more their father despite their strict-ness they still became kinder and more loving toward the two twins.
the last time they spoke to their parents they were both seventeen. they'd received a call from them that they were going to be going to japan for a few months, that they'd call a few days later. the problem was that a few days passed and there was nothing - at first that was normal, they'd gotten out of practice of sticking to deadlines anyway, but when a few weeks and then months passed..and suddenly it was a year the kids knew something was up. it was then discovered that something had happened to their plane, and as their bodies hadn't been found they were told they were classified as missing. several others on the plane had turned up alive hence why the authorities were holding out hope, but as soon as they found out josh declared their parents were dead and that was that. jade still holds out hope but it's been four years now, and there's been no sign.
after college, she decided she wanted to become a teacher - having a particular love of physics and psychology, and so she went to university in london for a year before obtaining a placement - preferring to learn on the job instead of sit in a classroom and watch someone lecture at her. she's actually quite the little genius, finishing her schools with the top grades. she could have gone anywhere and done anything, but she wanted a modest place to work, and a modest job. she chose the hickstead university because in all honesty, living in london wasn't her thing, especially after an incident that happened to her when she was nineteen. she'd been walking home late from her friend's one evening, and she'd headed down a road she walked all the time that wasn't quite one of the mains. someone followed her, and then that someone suddenly had a friend and before she knew it she was cornered. they mugged her, luckily the worst they did was take her stuff and knock her around a little, one of them had had a knife but when she'd given her bag up voluntarily they hadn't stabbed her, and she'd gotten off with a few cuts and bruises, but after that london scared her and moving away made her feel better whilst josh split and went up north to study instead.

HEY THERE! my name is meg and i'm twenty years old. i'm a wiminz and i've been roleplaying for teeeeen years. but enough about me, here's my character. =]
[/color]:[/b] Jayden Shane McDaniels
nicknames: Jay
age: May 15th 1987
religion: -----
sexuality: straight
marital status: single
occupation: Model
playby: Paul Wesley
hometown: Sydney, Australia
parents: LaDonna & Lawrence McDaniels
siblings: only child.
brief history: Born and raised in Sydney, Australia with two over the top loving parents, he learned early in his childhood he was destined for the lime light. Jayden, like many of his friends is a trust fund baby. He liked the sound of the shutter the camera gave off every time it snapped a picture from an early age. Jayden grew up mostly on the beach with a surfboard under his arm in the summer time or a snowboard on his feet in the winter. Always outdoors whenever he had the chance, catching poisonous insects or reptiles to keep as pets or what have you like any young boy. He was interested in photography in elementary school. He was the king of his class all the way through untill he graduated. Middle school was hard on him due to the loss of his bestfriend to a selfish suicide. Still to this day it shakes Jayden but you'll never see that part of him. Jayden played sports all four years of high school. Football, Basketball, Soccer, Fast Pitch, Hockey and Cross Country. Don't ask how he managed to balance all of those and get his homework done all in the same breath. His senior year was one of his best for all of the women he saw, one being his 35 year old last period english teacher. Something about her tight pencil skirts, low cut blouses and sexy reading glasses that intrigued Jayden. It lasted the entire year before Jayden broke it off leaving her devastated. After his graduation summer Jayden left Sydney and enjoyed the United States while he visited the countries most beautiful areas for the beginning of his modeling career. Within the last seven years since he was 18, he has made a tremendous killing in the industry and just to say the least with trust fund included the man has enough money to retire him and his parents for the rest of their lives. All in all he had a very good childhood and teenage years minus the deaths of friends he suffered and all of the change he had witnessed. He managed a good relationship with his parents and still talks to his mother daily. Also within his graduated years he has taken a liking to horses and has become rather involved in the disiplines of Wester and Driving. Something about a good American Quarter Horse or large and elegant Friesian that made his eyes drool. Winding up in Hickstead really wasn't just out of the blue for him it was just another place he was to visit and spend hours in the elements for thousands of pictures.
dislikes: selfishness,cruelty,anything yellow,immaturity,naive minds,people who lack common sense.
strengths: modeling,sports,riding,mechanics
weaknesses: pretty women,fast cars,gambling
secrets: In his senior year of highschool he had a love affair with his english teacher. O.O!
fears: falling,dying,spiders(wont admit to it however),lonliness.
habits: tends to not call back after the first date. {typical male.)
overall personality: Jayden comes off as a very gentleman like and charming individual. Genuine and smart, deffinatly a charismatic man. Very lustful at times with a hard to tell no act. Desirable and irresistable, he knows exactly how to play into your emotions. Plays the cold shoulder very quickly and has a short temper if the right person provokes him. Very photogenic, the camera loves him as well as a lot of other people. One of those men in the world that was no more than eye candy. Not the boyfriend type, Jayden is the player type with a hard to get make you want to scream type of game. He may play the australian prince charming but once he gets what he wants its all over from there. Can be very stubborn and critical at times with a I'm always right attitude. Doesn't like change. A Taurus through and through.[/size][/ul]
Hickstead, England was a long way away from Sydney, Australia the home of this blonde haired, green eyed man. Life was funny the way it worked out so that you moved around so many times that keeping track of each place you had stepped foot in was like finding a needle in a haystack. The community was rich in horse history here and what better of a place to model. It was nice to actually incorporate something so magnificent like a horse rather than a beautiful woman who didn't speak a lick of english into his photos. Jayden was to start tomorrow on the photoshoot with one of the best photographers in the industry. Excitment and anxiety ran rampant through Jayden as he reved the throaty and loud engine of his Mercedes SLS AMG. The silver car glistened with the morning rain as the sun began to peek through the clouds and embrace the city. Shifting into first as the light turned green, the sports car accepted the gear smoothly and rolled forward the horse power behind the wheels chomping at the bit. Checking the rearview mirror, Jayden grinned at his reflection and if his teeth could sparkle like in the commercial it would have just then. Dressed in the finest Versace suit, Jayden really was a sight to behold. He smelled of Burberry and money, his whole aura was filled with swagger and a too good twinkle. Certainly Jayden was the type of guy who didn't give anyone half a glance as he dropped a gear and let the engine roar at a pair of tall slender women who grinned and waved. They too were dressed the part like Jayden so this time he did give them the satisfaction of a glance. Pressing on the gas he continued on his way to his first destination in town and that was to check out possible places to have his shoot. First up was Echo Valley Park a very senic place with many options of places to use as a background. Arriving at his destination, Jayden parked the car far from any other vehicle to avoid any damage. Taking the lock pad from the car, he opened the door that lifted up like a wing into the air above the roof of the car. Stepping out, Jayden slipped the pad into his pocket a long with his smartphone. Pulling the door down he shut it firmly and the alarm sounded to signify it was locked. Breathing in the muggy air, he picked out the sent of freshly rained upon pavement and ripe grass and sod. The mixture was pleasent enough and Jayden began to make his way onto the main path. Guided by the signs, Jay slid his hands into his pockets toying with the devices as he surveyed the area around him. It was certainly peaceful here and provided a sense of serenity to Jayden which felt good. Being the first day in this place it wasn't good nor bad and that left a smirk on Jayden's lips. Maybe this move wasn't bad after all. It was far from anything in Australia though and nothing could beat any of the scenery on that massive island. New Zeland was like a second home to Jayden but Sydney kept calling his name on this wet but normal morning in England. No friends, no family and certainly no horses were here to accompany Jayden and he felt lonely. That was one of his greatest fears and right then worry crossed over his heart. Blinking away the thought he nodded his head and gave a polite smile to people passing by but secretly he wished he knew them. New places were supposed to be a good thing, not something that reminds you of just how big the world is and just how small you really are.
