[center] [h2]Leona Song and Maurice Jones[/h2]

Leona looked to Maurice, she knows she did say hello first. But maybe he didn’t hear her?? Should she speak up if she was too quiet?? Unless the male was spacing out then she knows she would have to speak up. Coughing lightly she shown off a small smile towards him and grabbed his attention (or at least, she did as much as she could.)

[color=yellow]“Yo!”[/color] she greeted him once more. [color=yellow]“What’s up??”[/color] She tried to go for small talk first, but she doesn’t know how far it’ll go. Nor how awkward it’ll be. But still, she will try her hardest, just like she will with all of her activities with her club and crew.

Waiting for an answer, she started to worry about her hair. And the other aspects of her that could very much mistaken her for a boy. But she doesn’t seem to think that he will bother that much from what he heard from his introduction.

Maurice blinked a couple times and realized his eyes had unfocused from not really paying much attention to anything for the past couple minutes. From the looks of things, like everyone else being in the hall talking to one another, the dating had already started. He looked at his first partner, Leona if he remembered the name correctly. He considered her briefly, sitting there looking more than a bit nervous. Dyed hair wasn’t normally something he was into, but he could work with it.

[color=FF0000]“Oh hey,”[/color] he said in response. [color=FF0000]”Sorry for spacing out there, it’s kind of a bad habit of mine. You already know, but I’m Maurice. Nice to meetcha.”[/color] With a big grin and wave, he outstretched his arm, offering a handshake for Leona.

The man spoke, and he apologised too! That was certainly a start: a good one at that. “It is lovely to meet you too.” She grinned right back at him since grinning seemed to be the right thing to do at that point. “And it’s cool. I am sure everyone spaces out now and then.” Leona was speaking literally, she spaces out quite a lot herself, especially when something was boring her. She hoped that she wasn’t boring him.

“So, let’s get started, yeah?? What do you do??” She queried as she gave the man some eye contact, hinting that he had her full attention “I am an amateur breakdancer of sorts. I come from England. And my purpose for coming here… well. My purpose is obvious, I never really had a lover so I decided to come here to find love. And you??”

Maurice retracted his hand. It seems she didn’t want to shake hands. No big deal. She might be one of those people who are really concerned with personal cleanliness or something. He also couldn’t help but notice Leona put a lot of emphasis on vocal inflections in her questions. Maybe it was a dialect thing.

[color=FF0000]”I’m a pro wrestler for the World of Wrestling network. I’ve only had a few matches so far, but people seem to like the job I’ve been doing so far though. I don’t know if you watch it, I know lots of people don’t care for it, but my Wrestling name is Marcus Dumas, The Wall. Back in college I played F- American football for the Texas Longhorns. And honestly, I think it would be a bit weird for someone to come to a Singles’ Vacation if they [i]weren’t[/i] looking for someone. So how do you make a living breakdancing? Is it like working as a back-up dancer?”[/color] 

Leona saw the male pull his hand back, oh no?? She forgot to shake his hand?? That was not good at all! She quickly decided to try forget what happened there and listen to what Maurice had to say. [color=yellow]“Ohh… I think I actually seen my father watch that.”[/color] Leona answered, [color=yellow]“I watched him while he cheered and boo’d sometimes, which could be pretty funny depending on how frustrated he was”[/color] She giggled as she remembered her father ranting on and on about how some of the wrestlers were great and how some where just: in his words ‘plain shitty’

[color=yellow]“Yeah, it is like working as a backup dancer. Except we don’t get a choreographer and we do all the decisions ourselves”[/color] She answered softly and then nodded once to herself [color=yellow]“So yeah, tell me more about your ‘wrestling’... What’s the most exciting moment you had during wrestling?? I am sure you have quite a few!”[/color] She exclaimed before itching her porcelain-skinned cheek, nervous about what his best moment was while wrestling.

[color=FF0000]”Wrestling isn’t nearly as exciting as you would think when you’re actually part of it. Most of the job is done well before the show.”[/color] Maurice began to answer, overall pleased with how well the date seemed to be going so far. It was mostly talking about job stuff, but that was a big part of what people did, so that’s kind of to be expected when you’re trying to get to know someone else in a speed dating setting like this. 

[color=FF0000]”First you need to see who you’re booked with and what kind of angle they give you, then you need to work with everyone else to properly choreograph the whole scene, what moves are done and practicing them until you can do them as safely as possible. That’s not counting memorizing the lines or just the amount of work you need to put into physical training.”[/color] Speaking of which, Maurice wondered when they would get to eat in the back of his head. He wanted to have a big dinner during this blissful week of diet cheating. [color=FF0000]” It is a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t really have many stories I’d want to tell right now. I’m not really the gossipy type.What do you do outside of dancing?”[/color]

Leona listened to Maurice and was rather interested, so wrestling really wasn’t as it all really seemed to be. [color=yellow]“I see… But at least you have placed a lot of work into it, right??”[/color] She asked casually and in a relaxed tone of voice, she could probably get sucked into hours speaking to this guy. Everything he seemed to say was very interesting. But she didn’t know if what she was saying was just as interesting. [color=yellow]“But you had fun, that’s all that literally matters. I am not really the gossipy type either to be honest. And outside of dancing?? I do many many things, I recently applied for a volunteering job at a charity store just to keep myself even more busy. Cause I want to get up and do stuff. I don’t like not doing stuff, you know what I mean??”[/color] She questioned. He probably does but she had to end her part of the conversation until he continued it at least.

[color=yellow]“Apart from that, I just hang out with friends and try to help them as much as possible. That is probably why I have a strong bond with my friends in the first place. I would bend over backwards and leap over fences for them.”[/color] At least she was dedicated to her friends at least.

[color=FF0000]”I know people like that, where they always have to be doing something. I’m not really like that. If I have the chance to waste time by not doing anything, I’ll usually do it. Like you know how we had those two hours alone before coming over here?”[/color] Maurice pointed behind his back with his thumb, even though the rooms weren’t located in that direction. It was more referencing back in time than pointing out the direction of the hotel rooms, really. [color=FF0000]”I think I spent like half that time just lying out on my bed. Speaking of the rooms, what was yours like? Mine was really yellow looking. Like a cakey, pastel yellow. I’m wondering if all the rooms are like that here.”[/color]

[color=FF0000]”Oh yeah, other than wrestling, I watch a lot of anime. In fact, other than wrestling that’s probably what I’m best known for, being a massive weeaboo. My time would probably be better spent doing something virtuous like your charity work, though.”[/color]

Maurice was right, they did have time to chill during them two hours but Leona couldn’t even sit still during them hours. She always had to do something, others were just lucky she guesses. [color=yellow]“My room was… interesting, it wasn’t really yellow to be honest, I would say creamy colour. But that was my room, no telling about everybody’s rooms.”[/color]

Oh god.

A weeaboo.

That was something Leona had to deal with, but she hid it and smiled sweetly; nodding her head she understood though, he had his likes and she had hers. “What’s the best anime you’ve watched then??”

Suddenly, the bell rang and the 15 minutes was up. It was a very interesting speed date indeed.[/center]
