Them purdy nails [Carter]

[Karalie Heise]

Dominique.  Dom for short.. They both had such handsome names and she found herself far more interested in him than she had any boy in a while.  It wasn't just his looks, but the way he spoke.  His lips curved as he spoke of his brother and she had to agree; she was thankful for Dom.  Thankful he had been the reason Carter was where he was when she'd met him, thankful that they'd run into each other, thankful that he was on campus today to be around to invite her for coffee.  Her lips still tingled from his kiss, and though she tried to keep it out of her mind it was sitting just there below the surface, continuing to make her giddy and warm.

"I'll be sure tuh thank him if ever I get th'opportunity to meet him." She promised with her own slight grin.  She wondered how many other people were there in Vermont against their will? Dr. Neville had made it clear that she wasn't really allowed to leave next year and running would be useless.  They would find her and she would be under probation.  She didn't know what that mean, but she was sure she didn't want to find out.  Either way, it made it difficult to not think of Vermont as a sort of prison.


He suddenly switched the conversation back to her and she felt heat the rise to her cheeks once more.  Difficult to resist? Her? She could surely point him in the direction of several people who would be quick to disagree.  "I don' believe so." What did he mean by that, difficult to resist? Difficult to resist how?  Karalie wasn't sure it mattered.  She was slowly turning to mush for him.  "But I suppose that works out.  I don' think I like ya'll tryin' tuh resist me." She flirted, hyper aware of the warmth of his knee against hers.  She hated how much she wanted him to kiss her again, but it felt oddly strange there in the cafe.

Carter replied to her notion with a small, definite nod. He had to wonder just how Dom might react to any kind of thanks from a complete stranger. He made a mental note to keep his brother in the loop about this one. After all, it was, at the very least, a great story to give.

But he'd pressed past the topic, because talking about Dominique was something of a stalling point he wasn't interested in lingering around.

To be the first to offer such words was worth its shot to his pride in the best way. It was something to remember; little, truthful things could be said to offer some kind of poignant picture for her to keep her eyes on. It was difficult not to give into the urge to kiss her again. Of that much, Carter could be completely certain. "So we should save the two day waiting period for another call. Or another chance to catch up." He denoted with a definite smile. "It was hard enough to wait the first time; you can't possibly want me to do it again."

[Karalie Heise]

Want to wait again? And waste more time not being around him?  That was unacceptable.  She'd been teasing that first time, not sure she expected him to wait any amount of time at all.  It was strange when a boy showed real interest in you.  Is that even what Carter was doing? Showing real interest in her?  Karalie didn't know for sure, but she knew she liked the boy though she barely knew him.  He was beautiful and still mysterious, and seemed to be all she wanted in a partner.  Waiting two days to hear from him sounded unnecessary at best.  She wasn't desperate, but she certainly didn't want to let him slip away either.

"No, I assure you I don'." She cooed at him offering her sweetest, flirty smile. She wanted to know more of him, and soon.  "Maybe ya'll can call me later or tomorrow." She offered, hoping it would lead to more get togethers.  "Or we could make uh date tuh get together officially, when yer not just in the area for somethin' else."  As much as she liked that he included her on his trip there, she wanted very much to be the reason behind it.  Then again she wanted to spend all damn day with him, but that would seem desperate and she didn't want to come off clingy so early on.

"Does that sound alrigh'?"

The smile Carter wore could only grow when she confirmed his suspicions. She didn't want him to wait, and it was better this way. To know they were on the same level made instance like these far easier to handle. Carter nodded his head once. She could be assured too that he had no intention of stalling for days.

Later or tomorrow. Even as she continued on, she'd still left that ultimatum there for Carter to make a choice. Really, it didn't take much thought to consider which course of action he should take. Which course he rightly wanted to take.

"Later sounds achievable." He replied, fingers tapping at the tabletop idly. After all, she was searching for something far more official than a little get together like this. Though it likely spoke volumes within itself for him to include her in such plans; "I promise, I can do far better than this."

[Karalie Heise]

Later!  She could feel herself practically glowing. Maybe she was.. Later! He wanted to talk later, not tomorrow, not in two days.  Her confidence grew ten fold in that moment, knowing someone like Carter wanted to talk to her later.  Especially with the promise of a date better than what they were on, not that this was a date but Karalie got the feeling that the next one might be.

Before she could say anything she ran a mental inventory of her wardrobe.  Did she have something nice enough to wear on a date with Carter? She supposed it depended on where they went.  As much as she wanted to hash out details then, she forced herself to keep her cool.  They could talk later about what better plans he could concoct for them.  Then if she was able to pull something together she would, otherwise it meant shopping spree, which was equally a good idea.

"I look forward tuh what ya'll have in mind." She purred back, nipping gently at the inside of her bottom lip.  And it was the honest truth; she couldn't wait to hear what he had planned!
