"I pushed people away and once people found out that I have anger management issues, they don't really wish to really get to know me anyway, beyond from my three girl friends who I adore." She said blushing a bit as his wanting this to be a sort of mini-date. "I never had a mini-date, or any date at all...so I would like to call this a mini-date." She said honestly, only wearing what she had been in, inside the classroom. A blouse like t-shirt, jeans, and a cute pair of boots that she felt like Santa Clause in every time she wore them. Beyond the paint smell she now found that Conner's scent was a bit intoxicating out here in the cold her eyes rimming with red, not that she could tell.

Alexei growls softly as he felt Annabella's nails scrape against his chest and kissed her back when she kissed him and then began to wonder which she liked better, that tender look he gave or the wolfish side to him before kissing him hungrily which he equaled in fervor smiling when she said she enjoyed the wolfish side of him a bit better. "Good, because we are a part of the other, and I can't get rid of him. And he did choose you as our mate. For which I will be thankful for." He said moving his head to scrape his teeth against her skin tasting her finding she was as sweetly tart as he thought she might.
