Thread: In Secure Relations (Cordelia x AlluringEnigma)

Olivia was surprised that such a magnetic and attractive beauty like Josephine was working in such a mundane job. She wasnt sure if she could have chosen a more boring profession perhaps accounting? She was used to her own job being rather droll in conversation the TV version of detective work built up some great hype for a profession that simply lacked the day-to-day excitement of CSI. She reached for the Agave Wheat beer next, as she answered Jos question. Im a detective actually. Mostly just put away mid-level thugs. Like today, for example we caught up with this mid-level muscle guy named Rivera today. Guy killed two people, but it was clearly a hit job. In CSI, wed get to catach the mastermind. Here, we just keep searching and hoping for a break. She shrugged, taking a long sip of the Agave Wheat, realizing she had gotten a little too caught up in work. She returned to the light mood of earlier, smiling as she put the rest of the beverage back on the table. I like this one. Its really, uh, whats the right word? Smooth? Easy to drink. She stated, offering it to Jo, who smirked and took a sip, nodding her head in approval. Of course, whether Josephine was smirking at the bright smile of Olivia, or rather the irony of the detectives curse- the answer being quite literally right under Olivias nose was only known to her. She raised the glass to her lips, giving the same alluringly mysterious look to Olivia as she drank, before setting it down and remarking. Yea, I still prefer the Stout though she remarked, cutting through the intrigue with a bright bit of laughter and returning to a sip of the dark stout. Olivia rolled her eyes and decided to go on with a bit of sarcasm. She had felt pretty comfortable around Jo so far, the redheads constant barrage of small gestures and welcoming laugh breaking down the anxiety of a first date for the brunette pretty quickly. She brushed a strand of her blonde-tinged hair out of her eyes, playfully grinning as she remarked You with your breakfast stout. I bet you drink your coffee black. Oooh! I bet you were one of those kids whose favorite Halloween candy was black licorice she added with her best faux-interrogation face, scrunching up her eyebrows and pointing an accusing finger at Jo. Jo smiled and leaned back, a coy smile on her face as if she were slipping into the part of a seasoned criminal. I plead the fifth she added with a slight curl of the corner of her lips. It was a little eerie, and rather sexy, how the redhead could switch between a coy and in-control persona and an absolute goofball. Olivia, in all her years of attempted dating had never quite stumbled across someone as wonderfully unique as Josephine. Olivia suddenly refocused herself and reached for the Lager. She took a sip of it and frowned slightly, before shrugging her shoulders. Meh! That ones just fine she remarked rather standardly, somewhat glad that there hadnt been any more raspberry surprises. She handed it to Jo and allowed the girl a moment to drink before asking her next question. So why work where you do? Dont get me wrong, I understand paying the bills and all that. I get being really good at something. But youre just so. amazing? Olivia intoned awkwardly, as she leaned forward with curiosity. It seems like you could do anything you want and succeed at it she added, her eyes twinkling in the mood lighting of the small eatery. Jo laughed, blushing a little at the compliment, though deftly brushing off the question Youre flattering me. It wont work. I wore a chastity belt here she added with a wink, before gesturing to the last beer of the flight. Time to finish it off! Ill expect you to rate them all at the end too or Ill feel cheated by our first date she added with a smirk. Olivia reached for the Hefeweizen and took a long sip. She put the beer down for a moment, before taking another long sip, quizzically staring at it. It tastes like.banana? she intoend hesitantly, as if she was afraid her very senses were betraying her. Jo nodded and reached over for the Hefeweizen Its a lighter beer, fruity almost! before she took her own sip. She, of course, preferred the darker stouts she had resided with at the beginning, but the Hefeweizen was still much more palatable to her than the sweetness of the Vanilla Bean or the incredible sour of the Raspberry. She looked at Olivia curiously, waiting for her verdict on the flight. Olivia scrambled in her mind to come up with something intelligible. Mkay, Ill go worst to first! The worst was your little surprise she added with a pointed, playful glare. Then the Breakfast Stout, and then the Lager, the Agave Wheat, the Hefeweizen because that banana note was just so out there, and obviously my favorite was the Vanilla Bean, because Im weak and prefer sugary, yummy treats she added with a playful giggle. At that moment, Paul returned to the table, seeing that they had finished the festivities. Will we be getting something to eat tonight? Or would you like the check? he asked, looking at Olivia first. Olivia looked over at Jospehine, signaling that the decision was hers We could eat, or we could do something else! Whatever youd like, love she added, watching Jo expectantly along with Paul.
