Kane

His gaze followed her as she left the room. For a second he contemplated calling her back, but abandoned the idea. She had her own issues to deal with and needed the time to realise the actual impact their liaison would have on them as best friends. Yet, they had agreed to take this risk for the sake of his former relationship and he admired her for her courage and selflessness. As soon as he and Joanna called each other 'lovebirds' again, he would make it up to her. Maybe he could take her to Paris? Kane couldn't think of a single girl, that didn't have the Eiffel tower and not to mention Disneyland on their bucket list. Ashlyn could capture these memories on her camera and share the colourful photographs with her American relatives, who would write "amazing" and "OMG" in the group chat. At least in Kane's imagination. He had never met a friendlier and more open-minded person than Ashlyn and used her background as an explanation for her bubbly and energetic personality, even though he was fully aware of the fact that she had spent most of her teenage years in Britain.

Kane

"Are you referring to my birthday?", Kane asked jokingly, fully aware of the fact that she had hinted at some millionaires lavish anniversary celebration. He couldn't quite remember who had managed to receive an invitation from the rich couple, but he could fully recall how they had spend hours exploring the well-kept secret of the villa: A wine vault. Obviously just for research purposes. With a chuckle, he put his shirt on and then turned around to Ashlyn.
"Well then, go and catch your dress. We have an important party to attend." He winked at her, pure amusement written on his face.

"I can't believe that you're marrying a human princess. An actual human being." Keir's eldest sister emerged in the doorway, an amused look softening her high cheekbones.
"You should smile more often, Louaine. It suits your features." Keir made a few steps towards her. He opened his right hand to reveal the small item, that he had kept hidden inside it. Louaine gasped, reaching her hand out to touch the smallest diamond ring she had ever seen. Unlike human engagement rings, this one didn't seem to consist of anything but this one beloved gemstone, a small piece of art made by the royal blacksmith, a Vampire himself.

"Do you think she will be fond of it? When I commissioned Lord Dart to create it, he raised his doubts. He believes that a human and especially a princess can only be content with the priciest one of them all. Yet I have never been an advocate of needlessy worldly possessions and never will be."
Louaine traced the pattern with her fingers, before she took a step back. "Don't fret. I have never seen such a delicate design, that could only fit the hand of a graceful future Queen. Are you going to propose to her tonight?" Despite her calm voice she was clearly bursting with curiosity and Keir couldn't blame her. Never before had a Vampire prince even contemplated forging a bond with a human princess, but difficult times required life-changing measures.

"I need to do what is right for our future. This alliance is crucial to live in peace. But first, I would like to become acquainted with her."

Kane

"That is fine, tell anyone you need to tell." Kane reassuringly pressed her hand, before he got up to find a suitable shirt for tonight's adventure inside his wardrobe. He grabbed the first one he saw from the stack. Ashlyn knew him too well. Her question hadn't surprised him, yet he decided to not respond to it. Play it cool.
Taking off his office shirt, he looked at himself in the mirror. His dark eyes stared right back at him, an expression of pain and determination showing on his face. The dark circles around his eyes spoke volumes, his mouth resembling a grotesque Venetian mask. Were his emotions this easy to read? Kane knew, that he couldn't lay his feelings bare, if he planned to win Joanna back.
"What are you going to wear tonight?", Kane asked Ashlyn, smiling at her reflection.

I'll respond tomorrow, as I've been quite busy with Uni and German RPGs today :)

Kane

"It might cause a bit of a stir, but I couldn't care less. I mean we're sharing a house, everybody is already speculating that there is more to us than the monthly rent we pay. Why not give them the show they are hoping for?" He let his eyes wander from her lips to her trusting eyes, for the first time wondering whether he should feel guilty about it. Obviously not for looking at her lips, as he didn't desire his best friend the way he longed for Joanna, but for using Ashlyn the way he had used many girls before. Yes, she did have a good reason to doubt this whole 'experiment', as he liked to think of it. He knew from personal experience that people did speak ill of his relationships and while he didn't pay too much attention to it, the woman usually did.
Yet, when he visualized Joanna's gorgeous eyes staring at him with her hands playfully resting on her hips, he couldn't bring himself to express his concerns to Ashlyn. Even if they wanted, it was too late to back out now. While nobody would frown at their linked hands, as this is how they liked to connect with each other in either sad or happy moments, everybody would have seen his Facebook status by now.

Kane

"That is a brilliant idea." A smile spread across his face. "I am glad that you understand how important this is to me." Kane leaned towards her, slowly brushing the palm of her hand with his fingers and then concealing it with his own. Their fingers locked almost instinctively. For a moment he considered kissing her, but dispelled the thought before she could suspect his intentions. After all, they were still alone in his room with no one, (and by no one he thought of Joanna), to watch their display of affection. And he didn't want to look like someone who would force himself on a woman.
"We should go to Black Lion's and have a drink or two", Kane suggested. He was a frequent visitor of the pub and hoped to see a familiar face or two. Joanna and him had shared their very first kiss in front of the cheering crowd and afterwards declared it as their personal meeting spot. If he were to find her tonight, it would be there.

No worries, enjoy your time on the beach :)

Kane

"I know. I wish it was as easy... as it is with you." Kane studied her, waiting for a frown to cross her face, but she merely looked surprised. This wasn't their first 'breakup meeting'. While he had seen many women come and go, Ashlyn stayed. Ashlyn, who never questioned his dubious decisions and had received every single one of his former lovers with open arms into their shared home. She still waited for her mister right to blow her away and he wished her all the luck in the world to find him.
A sudden thought formed in his mind. "We should date each other", he blurted out, before he could have second thoughts about his suggestion. "Obviously not dating as in proper dating. You're still free to do as you please. We just need to look like a couple on the outside until I can catch Joanna's interest again. We'd spend our weekends eating pizza in the city and going to our local clubs." He had never clubbed with Ashlyn before, but she surely wouldn't mind. "We can even go shopping, if that makes you happy and we can stop this experiment at any time, should anyone of us feel uncomfortable. No obligations and no worries, just us having a nice time together. What do you say?"
