Thread: She's a what?  [ Beefy X Bang ]

Schezwan.Beefy said But I--, she looked a little surprised when he told her not to repay him for the drink, unsure if she should take that as a good thing, or a bad thing. Maybe now that he had seen her up close, he wasn't interested, and didn't want to drink with her but she tried to play it off and off a smile. Well, then, thank you. It was a trait she desired to be outgoing and charming like this man. Why would he take such interest in a girl like her, awkward and far less prettier than the other girls in the club? Her thoughts were taken away, however, because she had other things to focus on. He was charming and he was handsome. She tried to keep her eyes off of him and seem natural, but Persia just wasn't a natural dater. She glanced at him from the side with her dark brown eyes from between her blond locks that she had pulled over her one shoulder and curled into the cleavage of her breast, looking away as quickly as possible when her eyes caught his. Her gaze turned towards the dance floor to find her friends as the drinks were passed their way, and then back to him as he extended his hands and took his drink. Of course she took her drink in her well manicured hand as well, the other on the hem of her short skirt to be sure it didn't slide up too far as she slipped off the bar stood to turn and look at him finally, standing at her full height again. With her free hand, she took his in her own, her grip soft as he face lit with a smile. Persia. It's nice to meet you. She lifted her glass a little in a toast, gently clanking it against his before she drank just a little. She held it in front of her, standing there for just a moment while she thought of what to say to him. Are you here with friends? Or alone? For a moment, she wondered if she should ask him to go with her to sit down somewhere, by that might have been over doing it She shouldn't get ahead of herself. Click to expand... Friends, He said, taking a quick glance over his shoulder at his buddies. They were all shooting glances back at him, snickering and shaking their heads as they watched him. Either they couldn't believe he was actually going through with approaching this girl or they knew something he didn't. Either way, he didn't let that bother him. But that's okay. They can survive with one man down.

Friends, He said, taking a quick glance over his shoulder at his buddies. They were all shooting glances back at him, snickering and shaking their heads as they watched him. Either they couldn't believe he was actually going through with approaching this girl or they knew something he didn't. Either way, he didn't let that bother him. But that's okay. They can survive with one man down. Even when she was standing at her full height, she was shorter than he was. Letting go of her hand, he lowered his head and smiled, scratching the scruff on his chin. Another sip, another awkward pause. Barroom flirting always fell down to that awkward routine, but Rave could tell she was interested just by the way she was acting. Needless to say, this just made Rave test his luck. He moved in a bit closer to her, an arm stretching back along the bar as if he was putting his arm around her. Tilting his head slightly, he said, What about you, Persia? I'm guessing you're here with friends, right? He paused, taking another sip from his glass. Of course, if you did happen to be alone or you were willing to blow your friends off for a bit, I'd say maybe we should get a table. He grinned slightly, sending her a quick wink. It might have been the alcohol or it might have been the truth, but he didn't think she minded all this flirting.

As he glanced over his shoulder, Persia stood on her tip toes to look with him towards the group of men, and the snickers made her uncomfortable. Maybe they saw what Rave didn't and she looked away while she began fidgeting with her hair again. Perhaps it was better if she went back to the girls and pretended like none of this had ever happened before, but she was taken away from those thoughts as he spoke to her again, and she smiled a little with unsureness and drank her own cocktail. It was hard not to be interested in a guy that was just so good looking, who seemed to have taken interested in a girl like her. She could see Maria and Clarissa from here, dancing their hearts out and having and good time, and good thing they hadn't come to find her yet or they would have utterly embarrassed her in front of Rave. It was kind of like taking your older siblings to the club with you it was just awkward. So that, mixed with Rave's friends, mixed with the fact she didn't know what to talk about, made for a big awkward silence that made her look around while her head moved a little to the music, too absorbed with watching the dancers as Rave's arm moved in behind her in order to get himself closer. When she did notice the proximity, she certainly didn't mind it. I was actually forced to come out with my friends, she said, and she laughed a little to herself. She flicked her curly blond locks over her shoulder and looked back towards the dance floor again to indicate they were there. A tinge of pink appeared on her cheeks at his suggestion, and she bit her lower lip as she seemed to contemplate it, her dark eyes down cast before she nodded her head. All right, they don't seem to miss me anyways. She looked at him again with a little smile on her face, and then off she went towards the quieter side of the club with all the tables to set her drink down and slide into the booth.
Thread: She's a what?  [ Beefy X Bang ]

As she sat down, Rave slid into the booth across from her. Well, aren't you glad they forced you to come along now? He said, obviously teasing her. He even went as far as to send her a wink from across the table, taking another long sip from his drink. With things a bit more quiet, he no longer had any reason to lean toward her or get close in any way. He had to admit, that part was disappointing. Still, he couldn't really complain, now could he? He was sure his friends would be wondering where he was before too long, but he didn't really care. As far as he was concerned, the rest of his night belonged to Persia. So, I hope this isn't too forward or anything, but you don't have a boyfriend, do you? I don't want some guy challenging to a dual to the death or anything over a pretty girl, He said, offering her another wide grin. No offense to you, of course. I just forgot to bring my sword and all. I wouldn't stand a chance in a dual. God knows I'm too handsome to get sliced up by a jealous boyfriend. Narcissism, whether joking or not, always broke the ice. Call it a hunch or call it wishful thinking, but Rave had a good feeling about all this. She was beautiful, for sure, even with the sneaking suspicion that there was something a little bit different about her. Rave didn't see that as a bad thing. She didn't seem like your typical clubber girl, out chasing men and willing to jump into the sack right away. He'd had enough one night stands and girls more concerned with having fun than committing to anything real to last him a lifetime. Of course, he was jumping ahead of himself again. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, plucking one and placing it between his lips. Smoke? He asked, flicking his lighter and taking in a long drag.

She laughed softly but blushed all the same, nodding her head. There was no point in lying about it. The man in front of her seemed nice enough, charming and handsome... what about tonight could she complain about? She lifted her glass to her glosses lips and drank from the straw, leaning slightly to the side on her hand while he legs crossed under the table. I don't know, she teased a little, putting a finger on her chin while she seemed to think about it. I guess we'll just have to see what else will happen tonight. I'd hate to jinx myself... Her dark brown eyes, which were now visable in the brighter light, looked up towards a waiter and smiled a little as they set down a few snacks for them to nibble on while they drank, but his words brought her back to attention. Hm? She slipped one of the peanuts into her mouth, blushing although she was unable to help but laugh at his joke. He uses a shot gun, so you're toast, she joked a little, adverting her gaze down to the peanuts while a grin spread over her face. She let that hang for a minute, and the looked up at him again under her lashes. No, I don't have a boyfriend. I've been single for... a long time. It was embarrassing to admit that. Here she was, out with this guy who'd taken interest in her, who'd surely want to know why she'd been single or think something was just absolutely wrong with her. So, where are you from? Most people weren't from New York. People seemed to move in or move out, but rarely was anyone actually raised here. She looked at the offered cigarette and shrugged her shoulders, her thing fingers taking one of the stick to put between her own lips. She wasn't much of a smoker, but when she did go out and drink a little, she always seemed to find herself smoking.

At first, Rave's heart skipped a beat when she said her boyfriend used a shotgun. All at once, any and all hope of this being more than a 'Hey, you're cool, let's hang out while we're both here' situation flew out the window... and then, of course, Rave once again found himself jumping to conclusions. Well, thank god for that, He said. I'd hate to wake up in a gutter. Getting picked apart by vultures doesn't sound like a good way to spend the weekend. Rave leaned across the table, holding his lighter underneath her cigarette. With a flick of his thumb, sparks shot up and that brilliant red glow lit up, smoke rising in the already smoky room. A gentleman always lights a lady's cigarette, after all. Omaha, Nebraska, He told her, reclining back against his side of the booth once again. Born there, raised there, left there. How about you? Admittedly, the fact that he now knew she was single made Rave a bit more relaxed. Any butterflies that may or may not have been in his stomach had all flown the coop. It also happened to make him a even more interested than he already was. The grin on his lips was curling even wider as he took a long drag from his cigarette before dipping it into the ashtray. Wait, no, let me guess, He said, raising a hand to rub the stubble on his chin. Well, you're definitely too pretty to be from New Jersey. You seem like the type that moved from one big city to another. Maybe Chicago. Maybe somewhere further west. Los Angeles? Suddenly, Rave realized he was staring her dead in the eyes and he couldn't quite bring himself to look away. Needless to say, he hoped she didn't mind.

She leaned forward into the flame of his lighter and breathed in, sitting back when the cherry was lit and taking a drag. She exhaled slowly, as if savoring the feeling of the tobacco as it soothed her nerves a bit. She leaned back against the wall of the booth, relaxing there while a little smile curled over her lips and she laughed again, tilting her head back. Flicking the tiny bit of ash from her cigarette, she looked up at him again, seemingly surprised as she heard where he was from. No wonder he'd left for the big city. What was in Nebraska, anyway? Absolutely nothing, sort of like where she was from. She opened her mouth to respond, but she stopped and sat still, turning her head away while she exhaled a bit of smoke again. He was flattering, with all his compliments about how pretty she was, and she nervously reached up again to touch and roll one of the tendrils of her hair around her finger. Nope, she responded with a smile, taking the last drink of her gin and tonic and slipping it to the end of the table, avoiding his gaze one she'd realized he was staring at her dead on. It wasn't that she minded, she actually sort of liked it, but it was out of habit that she looked away. Do you give up? She smiled and looked up at him again, finally meeting his gaze as she put the butt of the cigarette into her mouth and grinned a little, then let it rest in the ash tray. My grandfather immigrated to Canada from Finland, so I was born in Canada, but my parents moved to South Dakota when I was still in diapers. So don't worry, I'm not looking for a green card. We were kind of like neighbors, though. She picked up her cigarette again and paused, looking up at the waiter who had come to take her drink. Another gin and tonic please, she said to him, and then she looked at Rave again. Do you work here then, or are you visiting?

I live right outside of the city, He said, pushing his bangs out of his eyes. It might as well be in the city, in all honesty. I work in Manhattan, though. I'm in advertising, for better or for worse. Each sentence came out between a drag from his cigarette. When Rave caught himself staring again, all he could do was smile. Dipping his cigarette down in the ashtray and taking one final gulp from his drink before pushing his glass aside, he took a deep breath before standing up out of the blue. So, I hope I'm not being too forward or anything, He said, moving around the table to sit down beside her. But in case you didn't notice, I can't keep from staring at you. His arm went around her, casually. He moved in a bit closer. Admittedly, the alcohol was making this a bit easier than he might have anticipated. And I'm really kind of hoping you might be interested in hanging out together sometime, outside of a bar setting and all, He bit his lower lip, his eyes meeting her eyes. His brow cocked slightly as a grin curled at the edges of his lips. ...and I'd really want to kiss you now, if you'd let me. All this came out in a whirlwind, before Persia could even get a word in edgewise. All that charm and small talk built up to this, whether or not the timing was right. Obviously, Rave was praying his timing wasn't off.

Advertising? Really? In New York, I can see that as being quite lucrative, she said, taking a last drag from her cigarette and putting it out. Her job wasn't anything special, and therefore she didn't really want to admit what she did to keep herself barely making it in a big city like this. Waitressing and bar tending wasn't as impressive as advertising... but it was something she could do until she eventually found something better. For those reasons, she chose to stay quiet, and when she looked at him, finding his eyes on her again, she couldn't help but blush and look away. He did get her attention though when he stood. Was he leaving suddenly? For a second, she felt panicked... but she couldn't say a word, so she simply watched him. Thankfully, he sat... but not so thankfully, he sat beside her. So much for the feeling of relief, because she just felt more nervous and panicked. Those slender hands moved to her hair again to nervously twirl a curl around her finger, sliding away from her against the wall a bit as she looked up at him under her lashes. I... I um, she stuttered softly, and she looked up at the waiter as he brought her drink, looking to find her bag in order to find her wallet. She nearly spilled it, but she handed the waiter the money and then looked at her glass. Of course she wanted to see him again, and as she turned her head to say so, he seemed to want to kiss her. Yes... kiss her. Persia! She jumped as she heard the voice next to them, looking up from Rave's face that had leaned so close to her's, and she looked like the little girl caught with her hand in the cookie jar. The two women grinned knowingly, but they knew how nervous their friend would be with a man this close... Where have you been? Flirting with boys instead of dancing with us? You said you were coming back! I was! she said quickly, looking at them, and then at Rave. It's just that I met Rave, and we sat to have a drink while I got off my feet... I'll be there in a minute. Yeah, yeah, they said, laughing at her embarrassment before going to the bar to find something to drink, glancing back from time to time, and Persia blushed madly. Sorry, she said softly, then smiled up at him apologetically. She moved her hands into her lap and pulled down her dress a little, then looked up at him. I um... here. She reached for a napkin and a pen from her purse, leaning her head down as she wrote her name and number on the piece of cloth, and slid it over to him. I would love to... hang out again. Outside the bar, like you said. She drank from the glass on the table, then smiled a little. Maybe next time I can buy you a drink.

And she was gone, just like that, leaving him holding a napkin with her number and not much else. For a moment, Rave was blindsided by how quick everything just happened, but he didn't let that bother him. He was back with his friends in no time, money burning a hole in his pocket and the night still too young to give up on. The morning after, of course, Rave woke up with the worst hangover he'd had in his entire life. His apartment was a wreck. Clothes were strewn everywhere, lamps knocked over and beer bottles stacked up to the ceiling. An ashtray overflowing with cigarette buttes. He was wrapped in an American flag, completely naked and with no recollection of what had happened the night before. After a few minutes fumbling through his medicine cabinet for aspirin and staring blankly into the mirror, it all came back to him. After they had left Aprikot, the gang decided to take the party to Rave's apartment. They all fell into a drunken haze and god only knows where his friends had wound up. All that was fine and dandy, but what he remembered the most was a beautiful girl. What was her name again? After standing in the shower for a few minutes, mostly soaking and barely bathing, he remembered her name was Persia. Then he remembered the napkin she had given to him. Then he remembered that her number was on it. Shit! He exclaimed, quickly hopping out of the shower and racing into his bedroom. He stumbled around until he finally came across the pair of jeans he was wearing the night before. He rustled through the pants, going through every pocket at least a dozen times. Shit, shit, shit... C'mon... He went to his end table, flipping through his wallet. He opened every door and looked under everything. The napkin was nowhere to be found... until he finally saw it on his coffee table, reduced to nothing more than a coaster for beer. The numbers had all been faded away by spills and condensation. With a long sigh, Rave slinked back on his couch, lighting a cigarette. Well, He thought. I guess I won't be seeing her again. An hour later, he was dressed and out the door, gone out on the streets of New York City. When night was over and all the neon lights had turned off for the night, New York was a very different place. The differences between day and night made the city look like two different realities, connected but completely apart. Moving to the curb and throwing up his hand, Rave yelled out as loud as he could, Taxi! At least it was the weekend.

Boy, had the girls practically ripped her a new one. When she had returned to the bar to be with them, they had asked her why she'd left. They'd come here for her, after all, to find her a good looking guy to send her home with, and yet she had left him to come back to her friends. For a moment, she stood there dumb founded, having thought she was supposed to come back. For a second, she looked back at Rave, who had gone back to doing things as if she'd never existed, and she decided she wasn't going to bother again. She'd already made a fool of herself once. Instead, she returned home for the night, slipping off her heels and trudging through the small apartment to the bedroom. How could she forget to ask him for his number? Depression waved over her as she looked up at the ceiling, and then she moved to get ready for bed. Luckily, when she woke in the morning she didn't have quite the hang over that Rave did. She showered and put on a pencil skirt and blouse, tugging on a light coat once she finished her make up and hair, and out the door she went. The girls had decided to meet for lunch, no doubt to tell her how stupid she was for leaving Rave's side... not that she needed it rubbed in her face anymore. He had seemed interested in her, and he was too good looking for her not to be, but she'd messed all that up. She groaned softly at the thought, lightly kicking the door in front of her as she locked it and smacking it with her hand bag. She looked just as depressed as she felt about it for a second, but she composed herslef as the neighbor went by with his dog, looking at her with a strange expression. Stupid door gets stuck, she said with a smile to him, and then finished locking it to leave the building, her shoes clicking against the pavement. Shouldering her bag once more, she slipped to the side of the road and put up her hand for one of the yellow cab, the voice of the man behind her making her jump just a little. So sorry, I didn't see yo... As she turned, she realized who it was, and her jaw nearly hit the pavement. You! she said startled, looking up at Rave, and he mood seemed to instantly brighten. If there was ever a reason to believe in God, now was one of those times, and Persia felt a slight lapse in her lifetime of disbelief. Divine intervention seemed to be a beautiful thing.

At first, Rave was annoyed by the woman who completely cut him off. She had practically jumped right in front of him. When she turned around and he realized who she was, his face lit up as he exclaimed, You! Almost immediately, and it had to be out of impulse alone, Rave moved toward her and let his arms go around her. He pulled her in for a hug before letting her go, his hands remaining on her waist. You know, He said, raising an eyebrow. I wasn't too sure I'd be seeing you again. What in the world are you doing here? The taxi driver, of course, was getting frustrated with the two of them. With a little snarl and something that sounded awfully angry, he yelled out the window, Get the hell in here, willya?! Needless to say, Rave quickly moved away from Persia, opening the door and looking over his shoulder at her, C'mon. We can share the cab, yeah?
Thread: She's a what?  [ Beefy X Bang ]

She was about answer his question when the rather rude taxi driver ruined their moment. She had put her hands on his shoulders, but she'd pulled away to get into the cab and slide over as quickly as she could. Normally, she would have be rather ticked off about someone talking to her like that, but right now she couldn't really care at all. I live just around the corner, at the Avis building she finally said, making sure her skirt was smoothed out. I need to go to Broadway and Pearl, please, she said, opening her purse to pull out her wallet. It was instinct to do so, but she looked back at him with a smile on her face, excited to see him. The usual shyness was gone now that adrenaline was running through her, hardly able to contain how happy she was. You didn't think you'd see me again? I'm hurt you weren't going to call... Well, part of it was true, but she was trying to act amused by the whole thing, slightly breathless from rushing around, so she leaned back towards the door to face him, her hand reaching up toward her neck to take hold of the pendant on her necklace. And you, what were you doing back there?
