• *She looked over the landscape, then eyes turned to him. A strange look on her face.* "The beach....right."*She'd never been tot he beach. Swimming pools were more her thing..plus what were they supposed to do at teh beach?* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:09:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• The fact that she was baffled amused him to no extent - he smiled like a child who had just pulled a fast one on their teacher as he got out, making his way around the car to let her out. "Just trust me on this one." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:11:47 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She stepped out and instantly her heels sunk into the sand. She looked from her feet and up to him, brows rasied.* "Wel this appears to be working well."* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:13:28 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He was pretty pleased with himself, filled with an unexplicable happiness, as he left her side and went to the trunk. "Take them off." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:15:27 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Shaking her head she removed her shoes and through them into the car. She made a face as her feet touched the cold wet sand. Eyes travel to his for,, what was he up to?* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:19:02 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He wasn't quite so cliche as to have a picnic dinner, but he did have some wine, and some fruit, and they were.. in a picnic basket. He also had some blankets and retrieved them all from the trunk. "I just didn't think it was a good idea to flaunt you all over town." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:20:50 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She raised a brow at this.* "Do you think Adrien really cares? He just wants me to obey him, as long as you don't interferr with that he won't care."* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:22:22 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head a little bit at that. "You're high profile, and I'm high profile - can you imagine the sort of target we would make?" Besides, the Damascus was a club - had he taken her to a club, or, in fact, anything she was accustomed to, he wouldn't have the raw, real Ariel that he was hoping for. (NT) -- Angelo, 19:24:45 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She shrugged her shoulders, turning to look out at the water, walking a little ways away from him, her frame glowed in the light from the moon, her skin apearing pale and like silk.* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:26:36 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He caught up to her side, and offered his free arm. "Are the bare feet working out alright?" He could be lighthearted - and this was one of those times. (NT) -- Angelo, 19:29:02 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She took his offered arm, Keeping her head held high and her back striaght.* "I supposed I could get used to the whole poor girl way..."* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:30:50 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He couldn't help but laugh again and look over at her. "Believe me, after this, you'll never want to go to any sort of establishment ever again." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:34:09 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She looked at him, giving him another strange look. It was weird to hear so much laughter coming from some one. She wasn't used to it, not at all.* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:38:14 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "Lighten up, Ariel, we're not under cameras anymore." His intensity could easily be matched by his casualness when he wasn't on business. Down the beach a little ways, there was a large boulder, and he set down the basket, spreading out the blanket and gesturing for her to sit. (NT) -- Angelo, 19:44:57 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She was having slight problems scrambling up the boulder in her dress, and so she halled it way up her slim thighs and managed to get herself up. Settling down on top of it she cast a look around them. Eyes fell to the waves, and the crashing tide on the beach.* (NT) -- Ariel, 19:48:40 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• Sometimes, just sometimes, he liked to forget about work related things, and now was one of them. He proped himself up beside her, and poured a bottle of fine wine from the basket into a crystal wineglass, handing it to her. "You'll like this, believe me - good year." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:51:36 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She accpeted it and took a sip, nodding her head in agreement.* "Very good..."*Her words were soft, deep brown mirrors coming up to look into his,* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:02:26 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He met her eyes with the same intensity he had pinned her down with the first couple of times he had met her, and a bit of a smile crept onto his features, a slight dimple evident. "See?" (NT) -- Angelo, 20:32:08 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Sh elooked around counfused.* "See what?"* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:36:22 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "You like this." He nodded firmly, taking his own wine. "So talk to me." (NT) -- Angelo, 20:38:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She looked at him questioningly.* "About what? I've never really been one for small talk."* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:40:02 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "Tell me all of the things that you want to scream out loud when you're in Adrien's house, but don't dare say." He raised a bit of a challenging brow. (NT) -- Angelo, 20:41:26 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"If those things exist why would I tell them to you?"*She challeneged him right back.* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:44:22 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He grinned a little and reached for her hand, tugging her fingers to his lips idly. "Because your secret's safe with me." (NT) -- Angelo, 20:45:24 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"You want to know something...? I have thrown myself at his feet every day of my life because my father and his long ago decided he adn I should wed.... and he used my brainwashing agaisnt me. From the time of my birth he has been the only man in my mind...and still is."*She looked away from him out to the ocean.* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:51:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He didn't let go of her fingers though, and held them, between them, twining his in hers idly. "Do you think it will be that way forever?" (NT) -- Angelo, 20:54:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Why do you care?"*She asked, still not meeting his gaze. She was feeling uncomfortable with this moment. She didn't know how to deal with it.* (NT) -- Ariel, 20:57:59 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "I'm just curious." To come out and say something along the lines of 'because I want to be there instead' would have been a deathblow, and it would have tied him down. (NT) -- Angelo, 21:00:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She turned on him then.* "Well find another test subject for your little science project."*She then pulled her hand away from him and jumped down off the boulder, moving away from him and hte rock. She headed into the tide, allowing the water to crash at her ankles, catching the hem of her dress.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:03:07 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• And that was when he thought her the most beautiful. He sat back on the rock, though, watching her quietly, the way the moonlight bathed her. (NT) -- Angelo, 21:07:25 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She kept her back to him so that he couldn't see the tears streaming down her face. Why did she have the feeling she would never be anything but some strange exotic creature for men to stare at, prod and poke? She leaned over and grabbing a rock threw it toward the water. But as she did this another wave crashed against her, a little bigger then the others and knockingher off balence she fell on her butt in the water, water sprayed, and ran down the sides of her face, disguising her tears for ocean water.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:12:29 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He finally got up, pulled the blanket off of the boulder, and made his way down the beach. "You alright?" (NT) -- Angelo, 21:15:14 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She got to her feet, her dress clinging lovingly to all her fabulous curves.* "I'm fine."*She snapped.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:20:32 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He held out the fleece blanket he'd had on the rock to her, a little skeptical about her being fine. "Alright, but at least a little wet, right?" (NT) -- Angelo, 21:27:05 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Oh gee...great observation there Mr. Scientist."*She rolled her eyes. Yes, so she wasn't really the best date. She had a hard time letting go, especailly when she didn't trust someone's intentions.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:28:57 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He still held out the blanket to her, obviously he wasn't going to be put off by a little of her sarcasm. "Dry off then." (NT) -- Angelo, 21:31:02 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Ignoring him and the blanket she moved away from him and further down the beach, staying in the water. The wind whiped gently at her wet hair and the dress that still clung to her. She shivered slightly but wouldn't give in, she was far too stubborn.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:33:18 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• It was definitely too cold for her to be wandering around wet, so he just followed, staying out of the spray of the water. "You know, you're one of the most impossible women I've ever met." (NT) -- Angelo, 21:38:00 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Glad I've made an impression."*She said, continuing to walk. Suddenly there was a large crash and she jumped backwards bumping into him, lettign out a startled cry. Though it turned out to be nothing but a piece of drift wood crasing against the rocks.* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:41:43 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He had her wound up in the blanket before she even hit his chest, and he laughed a little bit at that, winding his arms around her for a second and dropping his lips in a playful kiss to the soft spot behind her ear. "You've made some kind of impression.." (NT) -- Angelo, 21:43:12 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She shivered, though it wasn't from the cold this time, no it was from the feel of his lips on her. She allowed her lids to fall and cover her eyes since he couldn't see her, oh how amazing it felt to just be simply held....* (NT) -- Ariel, 21:58:18 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• His lips found her neck, playing idly there for a moment - the fact that she wasn't hitting him... or scratching him... or screaming like a banshee was definitely a plus in his books. He loosened his grip a little, one large hand coming to rest flat and palm down on her flat stomach. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:01:04 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She knew she should be stopping him, not wanting him to think he had won her over. But the truth was this felt far too good to just pull away from, and she was feeling selfish. She made a slight noise of appritiation in her throat that she didn't even realize she had made.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:04:12 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He stopped long enough to tug her around so he could get an even playing field with her face, his hands rubbing along her arms lightly as though to warm her up, before he tugged her back to his chest, resting his lips against her hairline for a moment. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:06:49 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Her lids remained down over her eyes, and she didn't make a move to stop him in anything. She was simply lost in the moment, feeling oddly warm. Her features had soften, a slight glow seeming to radiate from her soft features. Full lips were slightly parted.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:08:51 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He was a little afraid that now that he'd crossed the threshold of casual contact he was treading close to ground that might somehow lead to a little heartache somewhere down the road. He patted her hair back lightly, and then tipped her chin up toward his, pressing his lips to hers lightly, tentatively. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:12:38 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *The last time he had kissed her she had remained still and hadn't responded and ounce, but this time she was starting to forget where she was, and the stance she was trying to hold in the mesh of their attitudes. Her own full lips pressed back slightly, lips parting a little further, breath mingling. Unconciously her hand came up to rest on his firm chest.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:16:25 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He smiled against her lips lightly - not a cocky smile, but more pleased that she had come around a little. He pulled back just a little, trying to catch her eyes. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:19:48 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Her eyes were still closed. As he pulled away tongue came out to pass over her lips, a soft sigh escaped of its own violation.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:22:57 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He couldn't help but smile - not out of triumph, although that could have played a big role in it, but more out of pleasure - to see her so relaxed, the tension eased away from her features. He gently smoothed her forehead with his fingertips. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:26:15 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *Lids fluttered open, long lashes leaving her cheeks. Dark brown mirrors stared up into his own. They were troubled and questioning, as if she didn't understand anything about this situation. No man had ever treated her so gently.....* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:28:50 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He caught her eyes and merely smiled - almost reassuring. "You're amazing, you know that?" He spoke softly so as not to break the spell that seemed to have fallen over the two of them. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:30:41 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She frowned slightly as if finding this hard to believe.* "You're the first one to ever say that to me."*She admitted honestly, her voice soft and almost inaudible.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:33:34 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "Well somebody should say it to you more often because it's true." Cupping her jaw gently, he rubbed his thumb against her lower lip. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:39:05 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *She nipped at his thumb playfully. Eyes gleaming they were like dark pool sof chocolate, and if Narcissus had been there he would have been just as mesmerized in them as in his original pool of water.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:45:00 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "So there's still a little fight left in you." He grinned a bit, and rubbed her back through the blanket vigorously as though to warm her up. "You want me to take you back to Adrien's?" (NT) -- Angelo, 22:47:01 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *With the mention of Adrien it was like he had slapped her. She moved back out of his reach, walls back up, mask back on and completely on her guard once again. Her eyes had lost any warmth and were now the hard ice they usually were, shouldres were tense and features were serious beyond repair.* "Perhaps you should...I'm cold."*She stated in flat tones.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:50:15 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He pursed his lips a little - it was like a maximum security prison going into lockdown. "Do you want to go back to his house?" He cocked his head a little, watching her with a critical eye. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:52:12 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Why don't you tell me all knowing scientist."*Her cold sarcasim was back, defense mechanisms back in place. She was kicking herself for the position she had allowed herself to get into this evening, and vowed never to allow it to happen again. It could jeopardize so much, not to mention her sanity and well being.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:54:45 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• "I never once claimed to be the absolute on what you feel. If you want me to take you back there, I will.. if you want me to take you somewhere else, I will." It was hard not to be stung sometimes by how defensive she got. (NT) -- Angelo, 22:56:29 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Take me home, this is a night that never should have taken place."*With these words she turned on her heel and began to make her way slowly back to the car. She didn't know why but she felt close to tears. Close to breaking down into sobbing, blubbering tears.* (NT) -- Ariel, 22:59:59 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He pursed his lips - she was more complex than most of his business partners, and he followed her up the beach toward the car - leaving the stuff he'd brought where it was. (NT) -- Angelo, 23:03:05 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *This time she didn't wait for him to open the door but instead opened it herself and climbed in closing the door behind her with a sound of finality.* (NT) -- Ariel, 23:05:27 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He got himself into the car, starting it, but not moving, only looking over at her. "I don't know why you're angry with me, Ariel - maybe it's because I make you remember what it's like to have feelings. One way or the other, I don't understand it." (NT) -- Angelo, 23:08:19 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"I never said I was angry at you. I simply said this evening was a mistake."*She wouldn't even look at him, she just sat staring straight ahead. And no, she didn't like feeling, because whenever she felt she just ended up hurting. Her father had been the only one besids Adrien that she had ever let anyone know what she felt concerning them, adn look where she was left now...with Adrien using both the loss of her father and her love for him against her.* (NT) -- Ariel, 23:11:56 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He still didn't make any move. He knew she was telling half truths. "For what's it's worth, I don't think it was a mistake." The plan had been to win her over, get information about Adrien to use to his advantage, and then destroy them all - he hadn't counted on her being so difficult, and so enticing. (NT) -- Angelo, 23:14:12 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• *"You're waisting your breath. That statement is worth absolutly nothing to me."*She replied simply, this time swinging her head around to pierce him with her steady gaze.* (NT) -- Ariel, 23:17:06 01/30/04 Fri

  ---

• He watched her for a second more, calculating - and knowing she lied. "Alright, Ariel." He put the car into reverse and made his way out of the lot. (NT) -- Angelo, 23:21:58 01/30/04 Fri
