Thread: The Road To Fame (Sumi & Mr Quixotic)

There was no way that Karmen wouldn't feel some sense of pride as she turned his words against himself, although if she had to honest, she did look forward to when she'd have the chance to putting a satisfied smile on his face, just as much as he did. Whether he'd actually get some sleep however, was to be seen, because depending on the circumstances she could either pass out before anything would happen if she'd be too exhausted from the long trip, either keep him up all night long due to all that sexual frustration she had accumulated in the past few weeks spent in Reddell. Either way, she was indeed curious to see if Duane was just all talk or not, although she hoped it was the latter. If there was one thing Duane would soon come to find out about Karmen if he hadn't already, it was that when it came to men, she enjoyed teasing them with subtle touches, just like how she did the previous night. Not only it made them more receptive to what she wanted from them, but it was also fun to watch their reactions and see how well they'd put up with it. Needless to say that she did pay attention and noticed quite quickly how he had quietened down and pretended to be busy as long as her hand remained on his thigh, so tantalizingly close to his crotch, yet so far away. Had it not been for having to drive already she might have dragged this on for a little while more, especially because it was all the more worth it after how cocky had he been. Still, she didn't want to cause an accident on the driveway now, did she? Yet, as soon as she drew back, all that confidence seemed to come back in an instant, returning to his cheeky ways. You can joke about it all you want, but at the end of it, you'll still be the one drooling over me and begging me to do something inappropriate to you. The scenario he had thought up did make her smile as she wondered whether or not he'd still have a grin on his face or a frustrated scowl instead, if she was to wear something more provocative, tease him at the same time, and deny him any sort of relief. She surely had missed these kind of games, like leading someone on that she wanted to get into his pants only to stop at the worst timing something she had achieved a few times in the past and surely got cursed for a couple of times. Karmen had been snapped out of her day-dreaming when he commenced with his so called lesson of handling a stick-shift, but found herself frowning slightly at the way the car acted. It was at times like these that Karmen felt religious enough to pray that the car would start working so that she wouldn't be stuck in Reddell any more, with ol' Bob angry at her for how she had planned to leave without a single warning. Besides, one more week in the middle of nowhere and she'd need a visit to a psychiatrist, something which this place didn't even have. By the third attempt to make the car work, the singer already got worried to the point where she considered planning the theft of someone else's car, though that would mean taking one of those filthy cars used by the farmers who visited this place, which she wouldn't probably last inside for more than a few minutes given the smell of sweat and dirt. Thankfully, just when she nearly lost all her hopes, the car started, lifting away all those dark thoughts. The relief could be seen on her face as the frown faded away and she took a short deep breath. Ah, I see, warming up. In that case, I presume that your kind of foreplay includes dirty talking? I just hope it doesn't involve fists too, though, she jested and took the last sip of coffee. The sight of Reddell being left behind and fading away in the distance came as a blessing for Karmen, even if what lay ahead was the same boring desert she had seen on the way to that damned remote place. Just hearing him mention Vegas was enough to put her in a good mood, finally content with how things worked in her favor for once. The money matter was something else, but he was right about needing more cash. A city like that required more than just a few bills. A proper bankroll and a car too, unless we want to be caught because of something so silly. she remarked, rolling down the window on her side to throw out the empty cup of coffee and then rest her forearm on the windowsill. Ironically, just as she'd talked about getting a new car, the current one started acting funny again. Maybe we should get a new car before everything else. she added. The way he spoke about taking a vacation had her confused for a moment before she looked back at him. Taking off he sunglasses, she smiled and shook her head at him. By vacation, you mean a short period of time during which we won't be chased by the police? she inquired with a chuckle. The more she thought about what she had agreed on, the more questions she had for Duane, on another note. One thing in particular stuck in her mind, and after what seemed like a longer pause in speech, she resolved upon discussing it before it was too late. Do you always work this way? I mean, tricking people instead of shoving a gun in their faces. Asking just to make sure that I won't fall behind with what you're doing, because I don't cope with blood too well if you get what I'm saying.
