Thread: The Reality of Dichotomies (Whispered Desire & Tyr)

Becca mulled over his statement, the word risk sticking out in her mind. When she was younger she'd taken lots of unnecessary risks but since having met Steven she'd gotten into a steady rhythm of normalcy to some extent although at times bordering on what she deemed to be, directly put, boring. Which is what had led her to stop here in this place, dressed as she were in an outfit that she wouldn't normally wear on her day job at the library, or even on a date with Steven. Steven, sweet Steven, a simple man who was kind and loving but in many ways it was because of him that she was here now, taking a risk. And although Becca knew it was a risk, she was having fun and the risk only added to the thrill of being at The Stockade, with the intent to pick up some handsome guy. She'd really forgotten about wanting to see if she could pick up some one out of the blue by now as she was having far too much fun being engaged in conversation with the hunk biker Paul. The fact that they now were standing so close together that she'd often times feel him brushing against her, or her against him added a certain different thrill to the mix and she could not help but smile back at him with that same twinkle in those green orbs. I'd love to see just how much you've got. She took a breath to steady herself realizing just how that may have sounded coming out of her mouth but it shot a small thrill through her all the same. I'm not afraid of taking some risks, after all that's what makes life fun, right? The only problem that Becca saw at this point was the fact that she was returning from vacation, in no particular hurry to arrive home as she still had a few days left before she would have to be back to work, and she'd not informed Steven she was returning so soon, but she actually had little cash left on her as it were. She'd merely wanted some time away from her rather at times, mundane life. While she had plenty of money in the bank, she'd not thought she'd need anymore before returning home as she didn't know she'd be playing a betting game, and obviously, there was no mac machine in sight. It was then that she felt the phone in her back pocket vibrating and as she reached for it, a rather zealous drunk needing a fresh drink had chosen just then to walk up to the bar, apparently not giving a damn that he'd just pushed Becca right into Paul's rather tall form. She attempted to move slightly away from Paul to put some measure of distance between them although it appeared to be a lost cause. With the phone in her hand she'd glance at the caller ID, note that it was Steven trying to call and she pushed the phone into the pocket she retrieved it from without answering it, once again her lithe form having no choice but to press against Paul's as she did so. So I think its your turn what have you got for me? Maybe it was because the bar had filled up and there was no room to move away, or just the fact that she rather enjoyed feeling herself brushing up against him randomly she wasn't sure, but she made no further effort to distance herself from him after that. Instead she gazed up into those eyes peering down at her from above. He was several inches taller than her, almost making her wish she'd had even higher heels on so she wouldn't feel so small next to him. Becca felt that large warm hand come to rest upon her shoulder as he reminded her that it was her turn to ask the question. In her current state of joviality, she'd forgotten for a moment how the game was to be played. She gazed back at him for a moment, debating her next question for the betting game. She took another long pull from her drink, this time emptying the glass half way as she pondered what to ask next. Her eyes lit up then, her free hand moving towards him, her fingers tapping lightly upon that rather broad chest as she chimed in. Let's raise the stakes and keep it from being boring. That grin slowly spreading back into a smile as her fingers remained still, not having moved them from his chest. Since you like risks, for forty bucks can you tell me, do all of the planets in our solar system rotate in the same direction?
