Micah Carrington: The petite young man
sits in a window seat just inside one of the more popular cafes near Central
Park, a newspaper spread open in front of him and a highlighter clutched in one
slim hand. He's dressed in a nice black on black suit, green tie the color of
his eyes held in place by a little gold tie tack; his jacket is slung over the
back of the bench.
Micah Carrington: He reads slowly, pausing
now and again to slick the pink of the highlighter across an add, brows
furrowing as he notes how the felt picks up the black ink.
Micah Carrington: Shrugging, he keeps
plodding on, pausing now and then to stumble, out loud, over the longer or just
plain more difficult words.
Sasha: She flicks her cigarette to the
side before pushing the door open and stepping inside. It's a little cooler this
morning, so she's wearing he black hoodie, with the hood down, and backpack over
her shoulder. A little smirk is on her face as she looks around on her way to
the counter.
Sasha:
9,9,6,4,2,7,3,
Micah Carrington:
9,2,5,8,
Micah Carrington: Hearing the door he
lifts his head, a slow smile tugging at his lips as he spies Sasha. Biting his
lips he quickly folds up the paper and drops it to the seat beside him before
stowing hte highlighter away in the pocket of his coat.
Sasha: She spies Micah, and a small, warm
smile finds its way onto her face. She nods to him before looking to the counter
person, ordering a grilled cheese sandwich and soda.
Micah Carrington: He flushes at the warmth
in her smile and flicks his fingers through his hair, marveling at the way she
manages to throw him so wonderfully off balance with something so simple.
Sasha: She pays with a few crumpled bills
pulled out from her front pocket, then takes the food and walks over to Micah's
table, grinning a little as she approaches. "Hey. Aren't you all fancy today?" A
little wink, as she slides in to sit beside him.
Micah Carrington: He scootches over,
wincing as the newspapers to his right hiss and crunch. "Hey, baby," he murmurs,
kissing her cheek lightly as he stands and shifts to sit atop the newspaper.
Sasha: She raises her eyebrow at the
sounds of crinkling newsprint. "You realize you're sittin' on your paper,
right?" It's gently teasing, and without malice.
Micah Carrington: "Yup!" He chuckles and
offers her a cheerful smile. "You realize you're eating a grilled cheese
sandwhich, right?" Grinning, he kisses the tip of her nose.
Sasha: She chuckles, pressing a light
kiss to his chin as his kiss finds her nose. "Yeah, I noticed. How are ya,
babe?"
Micah Carrington: "Good," he says, canting
his head to oneside. "Honestly, hon, I'm very good...Weird."
Sasha: "You are? Really?" She looks over
to him, honestly glad he's doing good...just wanting to be sure. "And why's it
wierd?"
Micah Carrington: "Yes, really. And I
think I have a certain someone to thank for that," he says softly, running
fingers over her knee beneath the table. His smile becomes introspective for a
moment before he shrugs. "Cause usually, given my typical behavior patterns, I'd
have done something to fuck it up by now."
Sasha: She flushes just a little, and
smiles, her eyes finding the table surface. "Well, good...I'm glad. And we'll
see what we can do about making sure it doesn't get fucked up."
Micah Carrington: He blinks and arches a
brow as she flushes and stares at the table, leaning down and forward, over her
plate to blink into her face. "Hey...Sash blushing?"
Sasha: "No..." She says it even as she
blushes a little further. "And if you tell anyone otherwise, you and me are go
go at it." She says this last part with a hint of a grin, mostly teasing.
Micah Carrington: "Wow," he murmurs
looking awed as he sits up, hand cupping her cheek to turn her face towards him.
"What did I do to be able to make you blush, babe?"
Sasha: "Nothin'." Azure eyes float away
from his gaze a moment, looking for something to focus on, a little
uncomfortable under this scrutiny. "Just...hot in here. Hoody, n' all, y'know."
Micah Carrington: "Sash'." He says her
name softly, soothingly, thumb feathering over her cheek as he leans forward to
kiss her very softly.
Sasha: She tilts her head upward, into the
kiss, sighing a little bit. The dichotomy between them is probably a little
amusing to bystanders, him all professional and in the black on black suit, and
her in complete street rat chic. She doesn't much notice, nor would she care if
she did notice.
Micah Carrington: He watches her face for
a half second then lets his eyes flutter closed, loosing himself in the moment
before finally pulling back, a little short on breath. He smiles slowly, tongue
flickering over his lips before he reaches out and picks up her sandwhich,
taking a bite.
Sasha: A small sound escapes as the kiss
breaks, a happy little sound, and she leans back in the booth, sighing lightly.
"Umm. So...what are you, ah...up to today?"
Micah Carrington: "Me nothing. Saidah is
job hunting," he says lightly, brushing his free fingers through her hair as he
sets down the sandwhich. "Granted, I am Saidah so..."
Sasha: She nods a little, grinning a
little as she leans her head lightly toward his fingers. "Got it. Any good
prospects?" She finally picks up her sandwich, starting to eat.
Micah Carrington: He shrugs and pulls the
paper out from under him to begin doing that wonderful newspaper oragami so he
can show her the listings. "Two nanny positions and one personal assistent.
Granted, I've no references so I need to take care of that." Look out Trevor!
Sasha: "Ahh, yeah, references." She
nods, smiling. "I could pretend to be a reference for you. 'course, I'd need a
phone for that, so..."
Micah Carrington: "Its okay. I know
someone who can probably get me all the documentation I'll need." He grins and
there's a slightly cruel feel to it. "So. What are you up to today, sweets?"
Sasha: "Workin'." She shrugs as she
finishes off one of the halves of the sandwichm, then washes it down with the
soda. "Maybe go check with a couple peeps, see what's up with them. Nothin'
else."
Micah Carrington: "Cools. So...Meet me
later? If you can," he asks, sliding his fingers through her hair again.
Sasha: She smiles a little and nods. "Sure
thing. I think I can swing that."
Micah Carrington: "You don't have to you
know...I'm just addicted," he murmurs, chuckling.
Sasha: "I know the feeling." She winks at
him, giving a cheeky little grin.
Micah Carrington: He flushes crimson and
presses a kiss to her shoulder. "Good. Then we'll meet at the hotel? You can get
cleaned up and we can do whatever you'd like tonight."
Sasha: "Sounds good." She smiles and leans
into him, the other half of the sandwich nearly gone.
Micah Carrington: He slips his arm around
her shoulders and shifts a bit, digging into his back pocket to come up with
another key card. "In case I'm not there when you get there," he says, setting
it on the table beside her plate. "Make yourself comfy."
Sasha: She looks at the key card, then
back to up him, eyes sparkling a little. She nods and leans into him, head
tilting to rest on his shoulders. "Awright."
Micah Carrington: He hugs her gently, free
hand rising to slip through her hair, holding her head to his shoulder. "There's
stuff there for you," he murmurs. "Toothbrush and I picked up some new shampoo
and soap that's got more of a citrus to it then floral. And the second drawer in
the chest that the tv is on has a couple more t-shirts and um...stuff," he says,
blushing. This is why Aerin never should have handed hte boy cash...
Sasha: She looks up at him, surprised and
a little in awe. Both are quickly cleared off her face with a cleared throat.
"Okay...thanks." It's meant to come out casual, but really doesn't. She looks
outside...the day's in full swing. "Ummm...I should go, babe. I'll see you
later, though?"
Micah Carrington: "Yeah. Definitely," he
murmurs, kissing the tip of her nose. "Go on...See you tonight."
Sasha: "Okay." She starts to move
away...then, on impulse, leans in for a long, slow kiss, shockingly sweet from
the street whore.
Micah Carrington: He blinks, startled then
wraps ihs arms around her and returning it gently. "Go...Go," he says when they
finally break apart, giving her a little push.
Micah Carrington: And then he turns his
attention back to the paper with a rather dazed expression on his face.
Sasha: She gives him a grin, slightly
teasing, a little mischevious, and very warm, before she slips out, grabbing the
keycard as she does. She slips out the door after a last look at Micah, then
heads down the street.
Micah Carrington: He can't help it...His
eyes flick to the window, watching her walk away. And, given the snickering a
few tables away, his expression could best be described as sappy.
