Vespa? It certainly was a contrast from the classic American model he was driving before. Her Bentley was not the most practical for city traffic but it did pass the comfort factor by a wide margin. [i][color=6ecff6]"Thankyou my knight in chefs whites. You look good in them."[/color][/i] Giving him a gentle peck on the cheek in thanks and resting her head on his shoulder a short time, long black hair cascading down and contrasting greatly with the whites. What did he thank she needed? Did he even know what an female considered requirements? Ok, yes she had grown used to a few comforts and luxuries that made life nice. He probably thought one shampoo and body wash was perfectly normal and that you could maintain a clear bathroom side... [i][color=6ecff6]"I might be used to a certain standard of living, though I'm not a bad guest. I'm sure it's perfectly comfortable. Forward, you're confident in your charms. I'm not too far on park view if you want to return me to my tower oh brave knight and willing to brave a more feminine home as an alternative. Except for brunettes whom seem to wander in perhaps? everyone needs a break, you need time to look after self. Being your own boss has a few perks. Apart from the Embassy love meeting mornings, and I'm not exactly my best."[/color][/i] Victoria was teasing, ok teasing fairly heavily as her dark grey eyes sparked with a little fun. Smoothing out her black and white dotty 50's style dress with leggings under for warmth that made her look a bit gothic pin-up girl, that was the intent anyway and adjusted her long starless night back hair to lazily cascade down her back with subtle waves that had taken way longer than Ryan would ever understand. She had not planned anything just wanted to look nice tonight for the fun of it, it seemed fate was pushing other ideas her way. [i][color=6ecff6]"fair warning. Im, not a morning person. If you're sure you want me. I prefer a continental breakfast, decaf, 1 sugar and cream. just to let you know."[/color][/i] Deciding a rather clear answer though the fact he was over 6 foot and she was under 5 foot took a little creativity, something she had got used to being 4'9 and a fun challenge. Giving a little smirk and sparkle in slate grey eyes sliding over to perch on his lap with skirt rising a bit and being rather lighter than she probably should be. Taking the initiative she wrapped her arms around his neck to steady self and kissed him rather directly and pushed back into the seat a little. Breaking the kiss after answering his question with a cheeky smile though kept her arms around and kept things rather hard to miss. [i][color=6ecff6]"Need that in writing or that enough? I can remind you if you like"[/color][/i] After a making most of her little position and flirting and slid off carefully as it seemed Victoria had made answer perfectly clear. Resting her head into his shoulder, Ryan made a handy comfortable spot. [i][color=6ecff6]"your comfy, bad time to be hungry for a snack."[/color][/i] Victoria certainly had a far more interesting evening than she was expecting. ... Glancing over to her friend, well what did she call him now? Eh, that would have to be a choice for later. She had 2 languages to choose from. About other matters, her whole brain seemed to have been over worse right now and that could wait for later. Turning to see a beep on her phone flashing and glanced to see it was her friend. She had very much enjoyed there outing to the mountains and the relaxed hours just talking, though not normally at this house. She slept earlier for her beauty sleep. Swearing in Russain under her breath and noting Ryans confusion with a side glance but dealing with her initial plan first. Paige. Marlin knew Paige and she had a... reputation that had spread far, further and deeper than maybe she even knew. While many unsubstantiated claims she had a reputation more like a veteran old west sheriff and a relentless hunter once you fell foul of her. If half was true... [i][color=6ecff6]"Some asshole is scaring my friend. Stalker maybe... She the model I went for afternoon tea with for lunch. I'm helpless right now to do much..."[/color][/i]. Marlin, sending her a message, hopefully, she had wifi... No, wait... Wait... Marlin sent her a photo one time a few months back on what's app about the whole surprise... Same phone. Yay, she forgot to upgrade! Go brain. Victoria thanked her rather excellent memory at times, attaching the photo to a text message to Manami. It was rather frustrating how little she could do to help in practical terms. [i][color=6ecff6]"Manami, you got anywhere safe to crash for a night or few days until you can make it secure? Change the locks and all that's shit? If it's safe to do so? Or barricade the door for the night and so until you can do anything? Umm... Stuff missing, creepy feeling, odd message or that shit? It's pretty creepy and majorly not normal! Be careful Manami! Call Cops if you need to, the number on card, Marshal, tough one. You be safe if she comes! She hunted down the trash who hurt my sister. Stay safe! I could send Isosef over in the morning? Let me know and I'm and him over to pick you up! "[/color][/i] Victoria hit send, there was not much she could do at all, that was not Good. So very not good. First Marlin and Xia, now this, why did this city have to have so many fucking weirdo's! Sighing and resuming her comfortable position. [i][color=6ecff6]"Why... Why are there so many nutters in Sol it seems? Sometimes I wonder why Mali chose this place of all places."[/color][/i] [b]Mentions[/b] [@Otterpop][@Infinite Cosmos]
