New Ink (Open)

[Jen Mitchellson]

"Of course I'll show you." She said with a sly smile, "What's the point of having a tattoo if not to show it to others?" It took away the whole 'placing it in a secret place' thing she'd been going for, but she still thought it was funny how he stuttered and blushed at every word she said. And of course he'd never seen a naked girl. He'd admitted it right? He'd only kissed some guy before, though who knew what experiences he could've had since their last encounter. His words just made her laugh as he agreed to see her naked. "Oh, I'm sure you are." She said, almost feeling sorry for him. But she was still sure of what she'd always thought: every man was a pervert with the right push, they were all, deep down, bad boys.

She chuckled again. "Oh no, I want to see it. It has to be... a wild experience." She said slyly, smirking at him. Super speed. Add that to the list of powers useful in bed, along with that Lucas guy she was with a couple of months ago. Wow, had it really been that long since her last... wild experience? Life was SO unfair sometimes.

His compliment caught her by surprise and her smile turned gentle. Oh, he was so sweet. And he'd been looking! Who knew? Maybe he was into girls, even if his first kiss had been with a guy. And now that she thought about it, that was kind of hot. "Thank you, Xun." She said, squeezing his hand, and then her smile turned sly, "I'm glad you find my womanly bits good. Also pretty glad you noticed." Another wink. Oh, how fun it was to tease him.

Once he was sitting with her, it looked like he was going to open a hole in the table. "Hey, Xun." She called, extending her hand, "My hand is missing yours." She smiled innocently, just to have him grab her hand again, so he would stop all this nervousness. It was cute to a certain point and, while she liked messing with him, she also wanted him to be happy to be there with her. It wasn't that nice to have a date with someone who wished was someplace else after all.

He didn't talk to girls often. Oh well, "So I'm guessing you don't have any sisters?" She asked, still trying to make him feel comfortable, and also find out a little about him. "Lucky. I have way too many brothers and sisters." There, a little information to receive a little back. It was all part of the strategy. Wow, she totally should become a sales person, if it weren't for the- ugh! having to work part.

Her smile turned gentle again once he said he liked her. "Good boy." She whispered and bit on her lower lip. That'd been so cute, like a child admitting to his crush his feelings. But what was she talking about? There weren't any feelings here. This was all in good fun for both of them, right? He wanted experiences and she provided them. Like a business transaction. She rested her chin on her free hand, her gentle smile turning sly as she saw his expression. Wow, that'd been fast. He really didn't have many experiences with girls, did he? She licked her lips and smirked. "You like that?" She wondered, "Come on, Xun. Share with me. I don't bite." She shrugged, "Just swallow." Wow, that'd been the nastiest, dirtiest joke she'd ever said in her life. Way to keep it classy Jen. It still made her chuckle to know he probably wouldn't understand it anyway, and she was kind of glad of it. Plus, his expression, just made her want to take her caresses a tad higher, wanting to tease him further, her feet now going up his knee and back down to his ankle.

She kept her teasing as he explained and she nodded, trying to act as if she wasn't doing what she was doing under the table. She was also sure that if someone in the store paid any attention they would see her. But it was all still harmless and innocent enough, right? It wasn't like she was touching no no parts. It was just him, reacting the slightest of attentions. It made her feel slightly sorry for him, but at the same time she felt proud she could make him respond just by doing this. Wait. He was talking about Mushu or something. Like Jackie Chan? "Okay, now I want to see it." She said since she couldn't help her closet nerd get excited about it. "Can you teach me?" Even her voice changed, didn't it? She suddenly looked more childish and eager than the seductress she'd been trying to be. It took him asking his next question for her to realise this and she smiled once more, leaning back as she hadn't realised she'd been leaning over the table. Crap! Julien warned me about that. It was sort of the thing she did when she was into someone, and that bit of information was just catering to her. "Nothing like that." She said with a small smile, shrugging slightly as her foot resumed its caresses. "Yet. But there's plenty of big, bag men around and I'm just a little girl." She tried to play it innocent, but it was only a facade considering what was happening under the table. Jen wasn't helpless, she had powers of her own. Lame ones in comparison of everyone else's apparently, but still useful in a bad situation, at least for escaping.

"Now, what about that tea?" She wondered, staring at him with a smirk. Would be able to get up now?

Xun was looking, whether he was doing it intentionally or not. Between her behavior and his sideways glances, it was impossible for him not to notice that she was really a… Womanly woman. If that made sense. He cleared his throat and smiled weakly. “U-uh, sure,” he mumbled. Was it bad that he’d noticed? Did she think he was weird!? He didn’t know what else to say, so he just nodded dumbly.

Her hand was just so… So…! Xun shook his head and nervously took it, trying to convince himself it was fine. It was just her hand. So smooth and warm… Ahem. “I, ah, I’m s-sorry if my skin is rough…” he mumbled. Between open-hand and various weapons training for wushu, he’d developed a decent amount of calluses on his hands over the years. Would Jen think that was weird too…? “Eh? No, no siblings,” he replied, finally looking up from their hands. Xun hadn’t realized he was staring until then. He smiled faintly. “Do you really?” he asked. “I’ve, ah, I’ve always wondered what it is like to have brothers and sisters…” Apparently not all that great.

Good boy? Isn’t that what you were supposed to say to dogs? Xun gazed at Jen uncertainly, wondering what must be going through that mind of hers. Hopefully more than what was going on in his, because his brain seemed to keep fizzing out and blanking at the most important moments. What had they just been talking about? He didn’t know, Xun was too busy trying to stop things from happening as Jen’s foot kept brushing against his leg. “Like…Like it….?” he squeaked. What was it she was even doing? And what was this about swallowing? Xun didn’t know, and he wasn’t sure that he wanted to. ”I-I know you w-wouldn’t bite m- ah….” His voice caught slightly when her foot went higher, and his brain did another blank. What was this… Why did he feel so…?

He probably looked like a complete moron, gawking at Jen like she had just announced she was an alien, and not that she was simply rubbing his leg under the table. Maybe… Maybe her ability… Was doing something…? Yeah, that must be it! “E-eh?” he gulped, finally snapping back into slight awareness when the topic was about wushu. “S-sure, ah… Anytime. I c-can teach,” he agreed. Xun relaxed slightly as Jen seemed to pause in her… Touches… Glad for the brief break where he could think a bit clearer. “Oh, g-good,” he replied, glad that he didn’t need to worry about some vengeful ex-boyfriend or something. “I’m sure I can – ah! – protect… You…. If I need to…” The small exclamation came when her foot returned, and the tingling and warmth in his nether regions intensified once again. He knew what must be going on down there, but he was afraid to look…

Tea! Right, tea, it was probably ready now. “I-I will go get it!” he told her, glad for the excuse to get away for a little while. It wasn’t until he began to stand that he realized…. Ai-ya! People would see…! Xun panicked for a moment before stuffing his hands in his pockets, hoping it would hide anything… Showing. He didn’t look at Jen as he rushed over to get the drinks, realizing there that he had another dilemma. He’d have to take his hands out of his pockets to get the drinks…. Ta ma de…! Xun ended up picking them up and holding them awkwardly over his crotch, trying to make it look as normal as possible as he reached the table again and slid the more orange-colored drink over to Jen, keeping the greener one for himself. His face was bright red. “Ah…. Enjoy it…” he mumbled, stabbing his straw into the plastic covering and taking a big slurp. Hopefully the cool drink would… Calm things down.

[Jen Mitchellson]

His hand was rough, like he said and she caressed the skin she could with her thumb. "Don't apologise for that Xun." She said with a smile, "It's good that a man has rough hands. Makes you tough." Tough like a puppy baring its fangs, considering how sweet and innocent he seemed, but she still liked it. He had very manly hands, rough against her own skin. She stared down at her hand in his and her smile turned slightly sweeter. His hand seemed huge compared to hers. It was sort of... nice, kind of like protecting, even if he was acting so nervously.

Jen shrugged at the siblings talk. No siblings, she was kind of relieved of that. She couldn't deal with sisters. For some weird reason, females didn't tend to like her much. "It can be good if you have good brothers." She said, still smiling easily, thinking of Caelum. "I'm close to one brother, one of the big brothers. He's-" She shrugged, not sure of what to say. Well, gay, from what she'd heard last of him, which had weirded her out. Hey, don't judge her! This was her brother, and as sweet and gentle as he'd always been, she never thought of him having a... sexuality. Ugh. Even thinking about it made her cringe in disgust, though she was pretty sure she would react the same way if she had learned he had a female lover. Just... brothers and sex weren't a good mix when it came to train of thought. Which reminded her- "He's a doofus, but pretty cool. You'd like him." Then, as an after thought, she added. "Don't tell him I said that."

Now she was teasing him, though obviously she wouldn't let her foot go higher in such a public place. She was kind of impressed that such a small gesture would make him react so... so much. The expression he wore, the way he gawked at her, and his stutters- Oh wow, the stuttering. She felt her own face flush as she smiled at him, biting on her lower lip to hold back the grin. Maybe she was being a bit of a sadist, but she kind of enjoyed torturing the poor kid. Oh wow, what was she thinking? This was because he didn't have any experience doing, well, anything apparently. It made her wonder if he reacted this way when he kissed that guy, like he'd told her. Would he react even more if she kissed him? She licked her lips at the thought. She could get used to that look of pleasure and...horror. Wow, that made her sound so bad. Ah, but they were supposed to be chatting.

She'd been expecting him to tell her to go get the tea herself, but he was a gentleman, wasn't he? Even under such circumstances. Either that, or he was running away. She actually hadn't known her touches would create such a strong reaction for him to actually- The way he was walking, oh how well she knew that walk from her time in Hammel, how many guys did she make walk that way back then. That was when it hit her. He acted like an inexperienced teenager! She couldn't help it and snorted, covering her mouth to muffle her giggles. So cute!

He returned with the drinks and she smiled behind her hand, feeling sorry for him. She'd pushed him a tad too far, and in public too. Though she wouldn't mind seeing him that bothered... later. Take it slow, Jen. Don't scare him away. Perhaps this game had been enough for the moment, especially when she saw exactly what was bothering him the moment he placed down her tea. "You poor baby." She said, smiling apologetically at him. "Sit down, Xun. I promise to sit still." Had it been the hand grabbing or the foot? Maybe both? She sighed, grabbing her tea and taking a quick sip. Hmm, sweet.

"Thanks for the tea." She said, even though she usually didn't thanked any guy she went out with. She just felt so sorry for him... Ugh, what was happening to her? It wasn't like he was some sort of abused puppy. He was a grown man! A very... very grown man. She cleared her throat and took another sip of her tea. And now she felt awkward.

"It's fine, Xun." She tried reassuring him, hoping he wasn't too embarrassed. "I'm sorry, okay?" She sighed. Had she messed up bad? "From now on, if I do anything you don't like, tell me so, okay?" It was sort of annoying to have to walk him through this, being used to much more experienced guys. But it was also... thrilling.

[Deleted]

If Xun was a normal hot-blooded male that was just trying to get into a pretty girl’s pants, he might have gotten nervous at the fact that Jen was close to a (presumably protective) older brother. As it was, he just found the information interesting. “He sounds nice,” he said quietly. “I’m sure we would get along.” Of course, Xun had nothing to go by really, but he would take Jen’s word for it. “Maybe I could meet him sometime.” Was that…. Weird? Nah… He knew Nao had lots of siblings, and Xun wanted to meet them, and they were just friends! Well, friends that had kissed, but… That wasn’t important!

Xun didn’t know what to think, or do, about all of this. Was she expecting him to do something in return? Like what?? He didn’t know, he hadn’t done anything like this ever before! What did she even see in him anyway? He was just a lanky nerd that ate too much and didn’t get out enough! And he’d never… Never had… This sort of thing happen in public. Or many times in private, even. What was it about her that she could just… Do this to him without even looking like she was trying?

He didn’t even think to ask her to get the drinks. It was an excuse to get away, but also seemed like the polite thing to do. Weren’t guys supposed to be…. Like… Chivalrous, and stuff? Xun didn’t know, he was just guessing and going on instinct… And he really, really hoped she couldn’t see the outcome of her touching. Surely Jen would think he was a creep or something, right?

She had her hand over her mouth when he returned, and Xun wondered why. Ah, well… He didn’t dare ask and risk making a bigger fool out of himself, so he busied himself with sipping his drink and trying to get some of the pearls out of the bottom. “P-poor baby? Me?” he repeated, flustered. Had she noticed, then…? Had she meant to get this kind of reaction out of him? His cheeks flushed again. “I-I’m okay, really, I just…..” Xun trailed off. There was no excuse that came to mind for him to tell her that would explain his weird behavior in the last few minutes.

“Y-yeah, of course,” he said softly. Xun was looking out the window now, hoping it would keep his mind off of… Under-the-table stuff, so he would be able to calm that thing down. “Anytime.” Wait, had he just said that? Like… They might do this again sometime? Xun glanced at her and gauged her reaction. “I m-mean… Not like, anytime, if you don’t want to… ai-ya…” He really needed to learn when to stop talking.

“Sorry? S-sorry for what?” Xun’s brow furrowed in confusion. So…. Had she purposefully been doing that stuff to him….? “Oh n-no, it’s not that I didn’t like it! Just…” He fumbled for the right words. “…I… I’ve never had that happen before, and… I was not expecting… So… I reacted… Ah… Badly….” He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “….. I am sorry… For… Making a fool out of myself…” Xun took another sip forlornly. “… I am really dumb… And… Inexperienced…” He fiddled with his cup and stared down. “…. I’m surprised you haven’t left by now…” he admitted quietly.

[Jen Mitchellson]

He wanted to meet Caelum? Ha. That was a first. She'd never met anyone interested in meeting anyone she was close to. In fact, all she'd ever gotten was men not wanting to know about her. Well, they pretended of course. Maybe that was what he was doing now? "I'm sure you would." She said and couldn't hold back the scepticism in her voice. Of course he had to be pretending. Why would he want to meet her brother? "You want to meet my brother." She said in disbelief, nodding and narrowing her eyes at her, still smiling widely. "Alright, sure." Why not? Maybe Caelum would help her figure this guy out.

He kept struggling after her little tease and his expression made her hold back a grin again. That expression was just so adorable. He seemed so ashamed of himself. Oh,no. Now her stupid conscience was going to make her feel shit for it, wasn't it? That stupid, nagging, Caelum voice inside her head telling her she'd done wrong. Fuck you, Caelum's voice. 

"I might have... gotten carried away." She admitted with a smile. But then he was the one to apologise. Oh no, honey. Don't do that. Shit. He'd never had something like that happen? She almost snorted at how common that was for men to say. But he was for real, wasn't he? She'd done it bad this time. He was taking down about himself and it tugged her coal of a heart. Ha. Curious. Dumb, Inexperienced. She shook her head. She stared at him after a moment in silence, smiling gently. Why hadn't she left? Well...

"I'll let you in a little secret, Xun." She said, leaning over the table, standing for a moment to reach properly. "Come here. Closer. I can't just let everyone hear the secret, can I?" When he did, she used her powers to come closer to his ear. "The truth is..." She whispered and suddenly turned and kissed his cheek slowly, lingering there for a second and smiling as she parted a little. "Truth is," She started again with a sly smile, "I find that lost expression of yours adorable." She chuckled and parted from him, smiling widely and biting on her lower lip. She sat back down and took a sip of her tea as if nothing had happened.

"So, this Mushu thing," She started as if she hadn't just kissed his cheek, saying it wrong because she'd barely heard him the first time. All she'd heard was 'Jackie Chan'. "How hard is it to learn? I can be... very flexible thank to my ability, but I'm not that strong."

[Deleted]

Xun wouldn’t even know how to pretend to be interested in someone, but Jen had no way of knowing that. He blinked in confusion at her tone of voice. “Why wouldn’t I want to…?” he asked, feeling an embarrassed flush start to creep up his face again. “… Was that weird to say? Am I being weird again…?” No shocker there. Xun didn’t know how to do this stuff… But hey, at least she agreed! “Okay,” he said with a small smile, wondering what he was getting into.

Somehow, despite how uncomfortable Xun was, he found himself not wanting to leave. Well, he sort of did so he wouldn’t make more of a fool out of himself, but there was something captivating about Jen that he couldn’t tear himself away from. It might’ve been the fact she’d given him his first… Ahem… Touch-induced… Excitement… But who knew? “Ah… It is alright,” he replied in a mumble. “I-I’m sure you didn’t know I would react… Like that…” He didn’t think she would have done that to him purposefully. Right? And… It wasn’t like it felt bad… It felt pretty good, actually, although he did feel like there was something that hadn’t quite… Finished. Ahem…

He looked at her curiously as she spoke again, and leaned in, feeling more jittery the closer he got to her. Xun couldn’t meet her eyes. “What secret?” he whispered. Before she told him, the Chinese boy felt soft, warm lips on his cheek, and his eyes fluttered shut. When he opened them again, he would definitely be wearing the “lost expression” that she was talking about. “E-eh??” he stammered, blinking several times. Unlike her calm behavior, Xun’s body was tense, somewhere between flustered and elated with the unexpected kiss. “Oh, uh… Um…. Th-thanks, I think….?” His had reached up and rubbed delicately at the spot where she’d touched him. It still felt warm and tingly… And a stupid smile twitched at the corner of his lips.

“Ah… Wushu,” he corrected weakly. “Not l-like the dragon in Mulan.” Xun chuckled a bit; it was a common mistake. “It’s… Well, it isn’t very easy, really. It takes years of training to be very good. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try!” he added quickly. “I only train as much as I do because I compete a couple times a year. It can be done for exercise too.” He sipped at his tea again, glancing at Jen occasionally. “Flexibility is good. I think sometimes that is harder to earn than strength, so you are already ahead.” He smiled a little bigger. “What… What is your ability?” he asked. “If you… Don’t mind me asking.” Good job Xun, making conversation!

[Jen Mitchellson]

Jen chuckled again as he flushed. "It's okay, I kind of like weird. It's cute." It WAS cute, what she was wondering if it was an act or not. Given her history with men, it was obvious why she was so dubious about anyone wanting to get to know her. Well, at least he hadn't talked about 'getting out of there', though he did mention her curves. But she couldn't blame him for it, she was pretty curvy.

"Well..." She said, with an apologetic smile, "I kind of did. I mean, not THAT much, but it's kind of why girls do that kind of thing Xun." He was just a doll for thinking otherwise. "I didn't get to the good part, though. I'll save that one for later." She sent him a wink, wondering if he could even imagine what the good part was.

She adored the way he closed his eyes when she kissed him. It made her almost giggle like some kind of lovesick teen and she had to bit on her lower lip to keep herself from doing so. Lovesick? As if. He was just cute, that's all. It wasn't every day she met someone so responsive to her, much less someone with such a pretty face. "Any time." She said in a soft voice, sitting back down and taking another sip of her tea.

He explained about Wushu, not Mushu, and she laughed slightly at her own silliness. Too bad she hadn't been listening to him when he'd explained. She was now though. It was difficult and it took years. Ugh. She frowned. "Maybe I'm not made for it." Ah, but he seemed so excited about her trying it that she sighed and smiled. "Only if you're the one to teach me." She said. She had no intention of training for years, of course, but once or twice just to see him train. He even joined competitions. Wow. "Okay, I'm impressed." She said with a wide smile, "Have you ever won anything?" She really wanted to see him in action now. The idea of him practicing any sort of martial arts now seemed hot. It made him sexier, manlier, even if he didn't act as confident as one would expect from a martial arts expert.

He asked about her ability as she was mid drink and she blinked at him in surprise. Usually people didn't ask that to her. "Well," She said once she gulped down the tea. "It's not as interesting as yours but..." She placed a finger over her lips and winked. "Keep it a secret, okay?" Not that she minded if people knew about her being meta, she just felt a little embarrassed of how lame her powers were compared to others. Come on, Caelum could fly! Even if it was because of those gross insect wings. "Let me show you." She added and her finger stretched out more than humanly possible, going from her lips all the way to her forehead and back down until it was normal again. "I can do that with my limbs." She added with a small shrug. "But it kind of makes my bones weak." And she kept twisting her ankles every time she went out for a jog. "Like you said, a blessing and a curse." Her life span was still normal though. The idea saddened her a little, that she could live normally and he couldn't. "At least it's useful in bed." She added, just to make him flush again because she felt she'd spent a long time without doing it. Besides, she disliked serious topics, and powers tended to go that way.

Speaking of moving away from serious topics... "Hmm!" She said mid tea sip, raising a finger at him, indicating for him to wait a second. She moved to pull out her cellphone from her jean pocket and moved to take a picture. "Smile, Bad boy. I need your picture to add to your number." She said, already thinking it was obvious she was going to ask him for it. "So you can call me any time you want to try that foot thing again."

[Deleted]

Okay, so he was being weird, but… She liked it? Huh… Okay… “I-I am glad,” he said meekly. Xun didn’t know how that was cute but… He would take it! For some reason, Jen’s opinion of him was suddenly really important to him.

Wait… She did mean to…? “Oh,” he blinked, lost for words. “I-I didn’t know… Ah…” Why would she want to make him… Like that? Was it a… Power thing, maybe? Whatever it was, Xun realized he didn’t… Mind too much. “…. What is the good part?” he asked obliviously. He didn’t know enough to realize that might not be an appropriate thing to ask. With that wink though….

He frowned when Jen said she might not be made for wushu. “Don’t think like that!” he urged her, trying to sound optimistic. “It’s really fun, I just tend to take it seriously.” Mostly because he hoped to compete in China someday, which was a whole other level from competitions in the US. “Of course!” he said with a nod. “There aren’t really many other people in the area that train in it anyway.” He’d be happy to show Jen a thing or two – Xun could be kind of a show-off when he wanted to be. When Jen asked if he’d won anything, he grinned and nodded. “Yeah… Quite a few, actually. There are different categories at competitions, and I specialize in northern open-hand, straight sword, staff, and snake style,” he explained. The last one tended to be a feminine style, but he enjoyed it enough to keep practicing it. And Xun was confident in his sport, just… Not in anything else, especially socializing. He’d taken up martial arts specifically because he had always been picked on as a kid, so while it made bullies stop bothering him, it hadn’t helped him become less awkward in these kinds of interactions.

He looked curiously at Jen as she began to talk about her ability. “I’m sure it’s interesting,” Xun told her. He tilted his head. “Secret…?” It seemed she was going to show him whatever it was, so he waited…. Until her finger started growing! “Whoa!” he gasped, watching it lengthen and shorten before his eyes. “That’s cool!” he argued against her self-deprecation earlier. “And you can do it all over…?” He wondered what that must feel like; probably strange, right? “Ahh… Yes, I understand,” Xun added with an empathetic smile. But then she said…? “In bed?” he repeated uncertainly. She probably was talking about something dirty again, but…. “Oh! So you can steal the covers from someone, right?” he asked with a purposefully silly smile. “I’m sure that is useful.”

He started to finish up his drink when Jen pointed at him, and Xun rose an eyebrow. “You need my wha…?” he began to say, still looking slightly bewildered by the time she snapped a shot. At least it was accurate, right? “A-ah, right, my phone number…” he squeaked. Whoa… Had a girl… Ever asked for…? He blushed again. “R-right!” he added quickly, trying to seem like he knew what he was doing. He just smiled weakly when she mentioned the foot thing again. That might… Be nice… Uh…. Anyway… “My number is…” Xun spoke the numbers for her to type in, tapping his own phone that was in his pocket. “You can, ah, just text me your number?” he suggested. Xun had just glanced at the clock to realize the time. “I, um, I actually need to go… I have a training session really soon,” he said apologetically. “B-but… We can, um… Hang out again soon…?” He wasn’t sure if she would really want to do that, or if she was just being nice this whole time out of sympathy, but… He wouldn’t mind seeing her again.

[Jen Mitchellson]

He asked what the good part was and she merely smiled cryptically. "You'll find out later." She said in a whisper. Oh, that was just adorable.

Jen smiled as he started to talk excitedly about the Wushu thing. She really didn't get it, but it made her feel pleased with herself that she'd managed to get him to talk so much. And that cute, excited smile? It made him look far more handsome. She chuckled and leaned forward, "Well, if you insist." She shrugged and smiled playfully. "I bet there's going to be lot of touching, isn't there?" Another nonchalant shrug and she leaned back, taking another sip from her tea. "I'm in."

Can she do it all over? Jen chuckled. Phrasing. "Oh yeah." She said and then rolled her eyes, "Well, not exactly everywhere. Anything... stretchable. I can't do my face of anything like that. It's not like a cartoon. I don't really change shapes. But otherwise, sure." And then, just to save face she leaned in and added, "I can be very bendy." His response made her smile and raise an eyebrow. How could anyone be this innocent? It was sort of funny to keep making jokes like this and have them go over his head.

She laughed at his expression when she asked for his number. Aw, and he looked so cute in his picture, with that adorable lost expression she'd come to love. "Not a problem." She said, already sending him her number. This was how she worked. Jen never called men, they called her. And he was just where she wanted him to-Wait, he was leaving. Jen lost her smile and looked at him in surprise. "Oh." She said, finding she didn't want the made up date to end so quickly. Training session. Oh, figures. She meets a nice guy and he already has an obsession that isn't her. She bit on her lower lip for a moment and then smiled, nodding at him. "Sure. Whenever you want." She said with the same smile. She stood from her chair, taking her tea with her. No need for her to stay there.

"Good bye, Bad boy." She whispered as she walked past him, raising a hand to gently caress his cheek and then moved to leave the tea shop. Training. Pfff. She was much more interesting than training.
