A Real Friend Delivers You A Body (May)
Melissa Frost-Robbins will be the first person to tell you she's not crazy. Okay, maybe not /completely/ crazy. She knows some screwed up things have happened to her in her life, and that those things have colored her ideas of right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate, moral and immoral. She'll also tell you that she takes care of the people she loves, both friends and family. If Melissa is your friend, she will do anything she can to see you happy.

Even if said happiness rests on expensive food and first-degree kidnapping.

May was at gymnastics until 6:00pm. When Melissa arrived at 5:00pm, she knew that she had very little time to waste. She set the table with a lone candle in the center, smiling broadly as she set up the lasagna and garlic bread from that little Italian place down the block. Melissa got the Coke poured (May doesn't drink) and once all was ready, Melissa had to summon the "help" to bring in May's present.

The shadow creatures place Austin Caine, movie star, in a chair on once side of the table. He not dead; more like sleeping, since they came from his house, just yesterday. She wanted to surprise her best friend and help her along the path to having a good time in college, and college was about experimentation!

The experiment? Hooking up with a hot movie star who barely knows you. She'd seen movie stars fall for normal girls like May all the time. She remembed some movie with a British guy who did just that, but she couldn't recall the title right now. Ah well. Kelly was going to love this story.

The last thing that Mel does before leaving is scribble a note for Pretty Parker and leave it on the table, right before lighting the candle.

Pretty Parker,

Insta-date with a hot guy! Just add May! :)

I /know/ what this looks like, but try to take it in the vein it was meant: one friend helping another friend have a good time. I made sure to choose only the best for you, and I think he even likes Mel Brooks movies. I left one in the DVD player. If he hurts you, I'll kill him. If he tries to call the cops, call me.

If you two have wild and crazy sex, I want details.

Love,

Mel

PS. Just break this little purple-charm thing when you're ready to start the date. He will wake up.

May was tired. She had had a long day, and right now all she wanted to do was curl up on her sofa with a bowl of Ramen, watch TVLand, and fall asleep to a rerun of Three's Company.

Which was why the smell of lasagna and candles coming from her kitchen was completely unexpected.

"What the..." May walked over to the kitchen...and saw a really hot guy tied to a chair in her kitchen.

"I'm dreaming...I fell asleep and I'm dreaming. This is the part where a dancing panda comes in and ruins it."

Nope, no dancing panda.

But May did notice the note on the table. She took another glance at the guy...and realized that he looked a lot like that guy in all those dumb action movies that Ben was always trying to get her to watch with him (kid had no respect for the classics, seriously).

May leaned in for a closer look. ....It totally was the guy that Ben had a total man-crush on.

...A celebrity. Mel kidnapped a celebrity for her to have a "date" with.

She was so getting arrested. And after she got out of prison, she was going to murder Mel.

May sighed. She might as well try and at least explain herself before he went to call the cops on her. She cracked open the purple charm.

The results are instant.

Austin's eyes open and he looks around blearily, blinking his eyes several times. First off, this place didn't look like his apartment at /all/. The smells were off, too. This place smelled nice, but he knew it wasn't his house.

The cute girl staring at him also drew his attention, because he had /no idea/ who she was...though she reminded him of someone he'd worked with before.

He saw the lit candle and the food, then looked between the lasagna and the girl. The girl and the lasagna. The lasagna and the girl.

Holy shit. Did I just get kidnapped by a fan? Be cool. Don't set her off or she might say the knockout word again.

"Um...hi." Austin says, trying on his most charming smile.

"You look so different without your costume on."

What? Way to go. She's going to kill you now.

May inhaled.

"Okay...before you call the cops...and please, don't call the cops, let me explain. My best friend sort of kidnapped you and brought you here, because she's on this kick of trying to set me up with someone...so clearly, she thought that you'd work, I guess.

I swear, I had nothing to do with being here, and I'm really sorry if this ruined any plans you had for the night. I'll untie you and I can call a cab for you, and I promise I'll pay for the driver to take you wherever you want to go, just please don't call the cops."

Having lived with a group of practiced liars his whole life, Austin Caine is pretty sure he knows a liar when he sees one.

This woman, whoever she is, is genuinely terrified and she's not lying.

"Okay, okay, sweetie. You didn't do this. That's cool. Let's take a few steps back, calm down, and see how we got here.

"My name is Austin. Austin Caine. What's your name, Miss?" he asks.

	May blinked. Sweetie. He was calling her sweetie...which either meant he believe her, or thought that she was legally insane. She was better on option two. "May. May Parker," she said. "I can just untie you and you can leave if you want, Mr. Caine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Nice to meet you, May. Please call me Austin, because I only tell reporters to call me 'Mr. Caine'." he says, his Texas accent coming on strong as he's still groggy.

"I'd very much like it if you untied me, but then...maybe we can eat and talk this out? I really don't want to call the cops. That requires a police report, makin' a scene and then you'll have reporters followin' you all over. I try not to do that to people." he says.

"What part of town are we in right now? Boston's a big place, but the sounds outside don't remind me of Cambridge." he says.

	"I'd rather not have reporters following me," May said, as she went to untie him. "Actually, we're in New York City, about ten minutes from ESU." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	from_hell 2011-05-20 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Austin looks at May like she just slapped him. If it's May eighteenth...he misssed his meeting with the studio. Darren was probably pissed. He wouldn't get to make his movie. "Damn. May eighteenth." Austin says quietly, not rising from the chair, even though he's been untied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. The place I needed to be was yesterday. It's all right. So...want to have dinner with me, May?" Austin asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, it's your house." Austin says, smiling.

"I'll be right here."

Once May leaves the room, Austin checks for his cell phone and wallet and doesn't find either. Crapola.

May seemed like a nice girl, which was in total contrast with whoever her crazy kidnapper friend was. He knew what bad people looked like and May wasn't a bad person.

She was probably just as much of a victim as he was.

He pours May a drink and pours himself a glass of soda.

	May went upstairs to change out of her gymnastics clothes, choosing a nice blue blouse and a pair of jeans. She ran a brush through her hair, and hoped that she didn't smell too sweaty or anything before heading back downstairs. "I can't thank enough for not calling the cops on me," she said.

"Well, if we look at it a certain way, /I'm/ the one trespassin' on /your/ property. You could have untied me and claimed I broke in for all kinds of unsavory purposes." Austin says.

"I guess we can agree we're both private people who don't want our business all over the place." he says, looking her over.

"You look great by the way. You were dressed up for sports earlier. If I may ask, what do you play, May?" he asks.

"Don't celebrities normally get more leeway in these kind of things, though?" May asked. "You could have just said I was a crazy fangirl, desperate for dinner!" She laughed.

"Yeah..." she said. "I've never been big on telling my business to the whole world."

She blushed a little at the compliment. "Gymnastics," she said. "It's over for the season, but the team likes to keep active in the summer."

	"You flatter me," May said with a grin. She was flirting. She couldn't remember the last time she flirted. "I do," she said. "I've been doing it for years. Do you enjoy acting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's only flattery if I don't mean it." Austin smiles.

"I love actin'. I really do. Not every role wins an award, but I feel like I do the best I can with each role I take. It's also great when I can travel around the world and see new places and people." he says.

"Have you ever been another country, May?" Austin asks, cutting into the lasagna and serving some to her.

	webslingergirl 2011-05-26 03:25 am UTC (link)
	May shook her head. "I haven't," she said. "I'd love to go to at least Italy someday, though." She took some of the lasagna. "I don't mean to sound rude or pushy...but I have to ask now before I forget...would you maybe mind signing something for my little brother? He's a huge fan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	from_hell 2011-05-26 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"That was the most polite request I've ever had for an autograph. I'll sign anything you want, May." Austin says. "Is your brother older or younger?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	webslingergirl 2011-05-26 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"He'd kill me for not asking," May said. "Younger. He's sixteen." She took a bite of lasagna. "Do you have any siblings, Austin?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Little brothers are great, ain't they?" Austin asks with a laugh.

May's question catches him a little off-guard and Austin's smile vanishes for a moment.

"Officially, no. Unofficially...yeah, I have a brother and a sister, both younger. " he says.

He doesn't know why he told her that, but he felt like May was really listening and not interviewing him or trying to dig up dirt.

	"I tried to get rid of him, once," May said. "Mom was not pleased when she caught me stuffing him in the mailbox." May smiled at him. "Don't worry," she said. "Your secret siblings are safe with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	from_hell 2011-05-30 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Austin laughs. "You really tried to put him in the mailbox? Wow, I thought I was the only one who went to drastic measures to try to get rid of a sibling." he says. "I tried to give mine back to the UPS guy. I put him on the truck when no one was lookin'. Earned myself a month of restriction for that." Austin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Don't joke with me, Austin," May said, smirking. "I might actually be tempted to tell him that. He'd die of delight."

Let's see...I'm a superhero. That's right. I run around in spandex in my spare time, helping people only to have the Bugle blast me the next day and call me a 'menace'. Really cool, right?

"In the little free time that I actually have...I do enjoy photography. I'm not as good as my dad or my brother, but it's fun. I also take ballet classes."

"Photography is cool. If I had free time, I'd take it up as a hobby, even if I hate most of photographers." Austin says.

"And I'm not jokin'. My agent was tryin' to sell me on some crazy 'Win An Afternoon With Austin Caine' idea a few months ago and I told him that I don't think anyone would like Hollywood if they knew how it really worked.

Surprisingly, or not, he said people would be all over the idea." Austin says.

"Otherwise, I play pool and relax a bit. How do you like ballet?" he asks.

"I swear, I have never played paparazzi expect for that one time where I accidentally got Lyta Braddock-Worthington eating ice cream when I was taking pictures in Central Park. And no, I did not sell it to Us Weekly." May laughed. "I prefer People anyway."

"If you can go on a date with a crazy fangirl trying to feel you up the entire time, more power to you." She raised her glass as a toast before taking another sip of her Coke.

"I like it," she said. "It's a lot of fun. It's a good workout, and it actually relaxes me."

Austin laughs as May mentions Lyta.

"Do you want to know how small this world is? Lyta bid on me at a charity auction a few months ago and won me. After a self-imposed mishap on my part, I met the friend she won me for. I ended up havin' a better time than I though I would." Austin tells her, taking another bite of his food.

"I actually had one woman sneak into the hotel I was stayin' at, knock on my door, and then refuse to stop touchin' my chest. Her name was Becky and it was a little bit creepy." Austin says.

"I've never been to a ballet. Keep tellin' myself I should get all cultured-like and go sometime soon, but I can't go alone.

If you're not busy, you should come and keep me from makin' a fool outta myself." Austin suggests.

	webslingergirl 2011-06-13 02:49 am UTC (link)
	May laughed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't be laughing at that. I can see where it would be really creepy, but it just sounds funny to me." She blushed a little. "I'd like that," she said. "The New York City ballet is going to be Swan Lake this season. We can go, if you aren't too busy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	from_hell 2011-06-14 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"I can laugh about it /now/. At the time, though, not so much." Austin tells her. "I'd like to take you that ballet, Anya, and maybe dinner before that, if you'd be willin'." Austin suggests, smiling at May. "You'd have to put up with people starin' at you, but...from where I'm sittin', you're very easy on the eyes." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	webslingergirl 2011-06-16 03:56 pm UTC (link)
