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

I can most certainly take a guess as to what you mean. The words slipped past her lips with an amused tone to them, watching him directing his gaze below her face, seemingly not ashamed in the slightest bit. She had to give him the credits, however, that he did have a way of stirring her imagination whenever he'd run his tongue over his lips, and coupled with those glances of his, it made her wonder what he really was like inside the bedroom. Such thoughts weren't occurring very often, but given the stressful conditions she'd lived in for the past few weeks as well as for the lack of any sexual encounter in the past few months, she guessed that already having fantasies with someone she just met was only normal. Then again, it was hard not to like him when he seemed to be completing her so well, conversational-wise. She just couldn't erase the smile on her face as he answered to her play on the words with something even better. I have to say that we do share a lot of interests. At that, she paused to take a sip of her drink too, almost having finished it. As soon as the nearly empty glass was placed back on the table, she slightly tilted her head as if being thoughtful. I do like both, slow and fast rides, too. Slow ones are great for making you desire getting to that destination even more, while taking it fast can make the ride feel like an amazing roller-coaster. Don't you think so too, Duke? she continued with what was supposed to be an innocent smile before bringing the olives on a toothpick close to her lips, carefully pulling one into her mouth with her teeth to savor it. At his suggestion of a possible new song, Karmen had to swallow what was left of the olive inside her mouth and chuckle. When he leaned in so close to her face out of nowhere, however, she was surprised. Nevertheless, she didn't move an inch away as her glance had to do that instead, averting it from his lips to his eyes. He'd certainly caught her attention with that, along with the 'inspiring' speech. Unfortunately, like the little devil that he was, despite the few moments in which the eye contact nearly made her think he was talking about himself, he crushed whatever image her mind had shaped in a matter of seconds. The mocking smile on his face only brought forth a click of her tongue. You're such a tease. Perhaps your mother should have taught you that it's not nice to raise a lady's hopes and then crush them like that. she scolded and finally retreated her leg. I'm ready to go whenever you can. I believe that a month of staying in this place has been certainly more than enough for me. she then answered, though, it got her curious when she noticed his eyes drifting away from her. Not because she thought it weird that he could take his eyes off her, but because the question was sort of sudden. The curious look on her face remained as he seemed to want to suggest something. While the thought of being 'properly compensated' for her performance for once was entertaining, she couldn't quite grasp what he had in mind. Not until she slowly and subtly shifted in her seat to follow the same direction he had looked in a few moments ago. She hadn't noticed anything out of ordinary, except for a man who was drinking by himself at one of the tables. When the billfold came into view, she somehow started to understand what he might have had in mind. Her reaction to the thought that he might be one of those men who 'make' money by stealing from others? My, my, Duke. Didn't think you were that much of a naughty boy. There was no smile on her lips as she returned her attention to him. So, what is your plan? she continued with a smirk, admittedly, after a longer moment of silence. That is, unless I have mistaken your intentions. In which case, I apologize and hope you'll forget what I just said. she added shortly. Normally, she would have been wary of potential thieves, especially after her previous friend who left her poor. But thinking about it from another point of view, what else she could lose right now? She had no fortune left just a luggage of clothes and other cheap items. The only valuable thing she had left, was probably the necklace she was wearing, which thankfully wasn't found by that guy when he stole her money. Right now, she probably couldn't care less if Duke was a thief or not, as long as he'd take her to Vegas. Sex and fun conversations thrown in would be a plus.
