No, I don't want a coverall barn! I already told you that! The barn is to be wood, like a normal barn. There was a pause from the chatter behind the office door as the other person on the phone answered. Yes, that's right. How long? Another pause. Okay. Thank you. Mai hung up and rubbed her temples. Contractor people were incredibly annoying. But she had the new property, had sold this place to Kari, and had the house built, some of the furniture(namely a bed, a dresser, and a lamp in the bedroom). She just hadn't painted the place yet, or gotten the other furniture. She glanced over at the paint buckets. She really didn't want to go paint the rooms. And then the idea came. I wonder if Tristen would help... |

Tristen wandered around the barn a while before making his way over to the office. His phone fell out of his pocket and he bent to pick it up. Clearly hearing Mai's conversation he stuck his head in the door with a confused expression. "Help you build a barn?" Standing there blinking he almost glared at her. "You aren't selling out. Are you?" He was decidedly worried now and shifted his weight around before stepping inside and bending down to look at her on her level. |

She looked at him, silent for a moment due to being startled, and then realized what he must be thinking. Oh! No! Well, yes...sort of... Selling this place to Kari. Downgrading to something smaller. Eight stalls, an indoor arena and an outdoor one. A little bit farther out of town, and smaller. That's all. She smiled and slipped a few papers out of the folder in front of her. She walked over, leaned against the door frame, and held them out to him. They were sketches of the layout of the new place. Technically I already sold this place to her. As soon as the house was done. There's nothing really there right now, and I was just about to go over and get a start on painting. I was wondering if you wanted to help with that. I've got people building the barn for me, since I certainly would stick at least one nail through my hand trying to build a stall, let alone a barn. |

"Smaller?" He'd been confused before but now he was slightly dazed on top of it. "I thought you loved this place, won't you go crazy without always having stuff to do?" Looking her up and down he considered what building her own place meant. "I'll help you with whatever you tell me to do, babe." Now he looked down at the sketches she had handed him and studied the layouts. |

Yeah, well, if I get bored I can always force Kari to let me help her. She gazed down at the plans she was so proud of again and pointed to the bedroom...Which was very plainly large. Okay, I should ask now or I'll never do it. She thought, biting her lip before taking a deep breath. And I was wondering if...you wanted to...you know... uh...Move in. |

"Yeah, I'm sure she'd take pitty on you and let you help." He teased. "But, Mai, ....I'm NOT moving in with Kari... she'd kill me." Frowning he tried to figure out if she was leaving him. He looked up from the papers with puppy dog eyes and waited for her to answer. |

Mai's first reaction was to sigh at what an idiot he was, and then her face reddened as she realized she would have to repeat herself. Not with Kari! And her voice turned to a bit of a whisper. ...with me... She slipped the papers out of his hands and back into the folder, looking for something to do so she could avoid looking at him, though she had a feeling it would be futile. If she knew Tristen, it'd sink in...And then he kiss her or something. Luckily, Kari was in town. |

His eyebrows shot up so fast they were nearly lost in his hair. Was he hearing things? He didn't think so, after all, he had cleaned his ears out with those Q-tips that morning after his shower. It started to sink in and a huge grin took over his face. "MAI!" Taking the folder from her and putting it on the desk he held her hands in his and danced her around the room. He froze and pulled her in for a breathless kiss then pulled her away so he could look at her. "So.. what color are we painting the bathroom?" |

The...Bathroom? I don't know... Her eyebrows had furrowed slightly in confusion at his question, nad motioned vaguely to the paint cans in the corner. One of those colors. She was incredibly tempted to pull away, mainly because he was acting like a little kid(which wasn't strange for him, but still a little creepy), but instead stood there, waiting for him to (hopefully) start making sense again. |

He looked over his should at where she had indicated "Oh!" Kissing her once on the forehead he let go of her hands and knelt next to the colors. "Did Kari help you pick these out?" Moving cans around he dug his fingers into one of the lids in an attempt to open it. When his fingers went numb and he realized it wasn't working he pulled out his utility knife and it popped right off. He looked down at a soft beige color and sniffed it. Blinking rapidly he sat back on his haunches and breathed fresh air. "Stinks, don't sniff it" he mumbled to himself and Mai. "So are we going over there right now? I want to see it." He started picking up brushes and cans and started walking to his truck, eagerly stacking them so he could carry as many as he could see over. |

No, I'm perfectly capable of picking out my own paint. And your gonna need to help pick out furniture, Kari's stealing all my current stuff. She replied, grabbing the rest and placing it in his truck and brushed her hands off on her pants. Yeah. Planning on painting all day, with the occasional checks outside on the barn building and whatnot. They've got the foundations for the outbuildings so far. She went over to the passenger seat and slid on, closing the door behind her and buckling up. Come on. I'll give you directions. |

Standing by the tailgait with his fists on his hips he watched her get in. Shaking his head he smiled and slammed the tailgait shut and got in the drivers side. He was still having a hard time believing all of this. Buckling up as well he backed up and stopped at the end of lane before pulling out. "Which way darlin'?" |

-time skip to when they get there- This drive way, here. The house was grey brick on the outside, and only one storey. There wasn't even a basement, it was just plain and simple. Once the truck had stopped, Mai opened her door and hopped out, grabbing some paint from over the edges of the truck bed and making her way to the door, with it's oval window. She somehow managed to open the door without putting down a single can, and slipped her shoes off on the tile, placing the cans down. |

Following her in with the rest of the stuff he slid out of his boots and set his things next to hers. Inhaling he smelled the drywall mud mixed with sawdust and all the other new-home smells. Wandering through the house he touched walls and estimated what would look good and what wouldn't. He decided right away which wall the flat screen tv was going on. "I like it. We need a fridge, before we buy anything else." |

And of course his thoughts go to his stomach... She muttered, shaking her head, before grabbing some medium-dark blue paint, which was a little closer to the dark, muted shade of the color, and the cream paint buckets, with two paint rollers, and walked down to the bedroom, which he hadn't entered yet. This room actually had some furniture. A queen-sized bed, a dresser, and a lamp, only, but it was a start. they were draped over with clear plastic, and away from the walls, so that painting would be easier. And, if they began attempting to toss paint at each other nothing would get messed up. The hardwood floor was covered as well, just in case. She didn't quite trust Tristen to paint with sanity. |

Tailing behind her he glanced at the other cans figuring they'd use them elsewhere. "Of course my thoughts go to my stomach.. they go there more often th-" He stopped just inside the door and looked around at the few furnishings she had already brought over. It clicked right then, when he seen the queen sized bed. Just to make sure, he asked "I get to sleep in here with you, right?"

As long as you keep your hands to yourself. Otherwise, I'll send you to the couch. Or the barn. She replied, though she didn't look at him when he said it. Which was a good thing, because her face had definitely gained a bit more color to it. She got the paint ready in the larger plastic thing that they could fit rollers into and, now that her face was back to normal, she turned and passed him a roller. But first it's got to be painted. I am not slipping in a white room. -let's just say that the base coat of white is already there- |

Tristen held his hands up surrender style "Alright alright, I don't want to sleep in the barn all by myself." He picked up a roller and dipped it in the same paint Mai was working with. Once it was fully covered he stood beside her and started methodically rolling the light blue paint. After a while he looked at her and reached above her head, drawing one half of a huge heart and stopping at the floor. Next he drew the other half and stood back to examine his artwork. "What do you think? You can fill it in if you like." he teased her. Edited by angela, Feb 15 2009, 10:17 PM.

Ah, no. No giant hearts on the wall. She replied, rolling paint over top and covering up any signs of there even being a heart there. Placing the paint-laden roller on the ground for a moment, though her hand still held the handle, she shifted slightly so she was closer to him, then leaned backwards, using him as a support, a bit like one would use a wall or a post. Tipping her head back so she was looking up, she smiled slightly. You know, if you don't mind the smell of fresh paint we could technically start moving in tonight, just go out for food or order in. -just had brilliant ideas. either A) It's Valentine's Day and she's entirely forgotten or He proposes the day they finish the house, barn etc. or C) BOTH!!-

Nodding slowly "Yes, we could." Looking silently at the heart she had covered up he frowned in thought, obviously trying to remember something. An invisible lightbulb suddenly flashed on and he let go of her and took off for the door. In his haste he knocked over a ladder and got tangled up in the plastic. "SORRY! I forgot something, I'll be back!" He ran through the bedroom door and slid into his cowboy boots before running back and grabbing the door frame to steady himself. "Don't go anywhere!" ------------------- Once in his truck he peeled out of the driveway and headed back to his house. He found the ring he had picked out and stuffed it in his pocket. After that he didn't really know what to do so he stood in the middle of his house and thought about what to do next. "CHOCOLATE" Scrambling for his truck he started his hunt. ----------------------- He walked up to the house sheepishly and furrowed his brows at the door. Should I knock? No. She just asked me to move in with her, I don't have to knock. He knocked. |
