First Dates [Monica]

[Monica Summers]

I guess that's all he's willing to share at the moment Monica thought when Adrien changed the subject. She didn't mind because she understood how hard it could be to share things with people that were that personal.

"Not much, my friend Chris came back from disappearing for a few days, I worked on a car a bit in the shop and... that's about it." she replied. Nothing excited had happened to her the past few days which was boring to talk about.

[Adrien Cold]

Adrien swayed to the soft melody of the dimly lit room. He was still bursting but his jaw wouldn't let him settle. It was stuck, horribly unwilling him to lift his own burdens. So, he settles on hearing Monica talk in a soft murmur. It was certainly calming, a soft monotone that kept up with his breathing.

His eyes were closed, the beat of his heart loud on his ears. But the white noise that had risen from his companion's voice had relaxed his body, melding his body to just move. To wander aimlessly and sway, keeping to the moment.

[Monica Summers]

When Monica finished, she didn't really expect feedback which she was fine with. Keeping her head on his shoulder, she swayed with him. She could tell this was releasing a bit of the stress he had hidden inside and she was enjoying it herself. Closing her eyes, she relaxed even more and a small smile was on her face.

[Adrien Cold]

Moments passed and the melancholic tune was replaced by a song unknown to Adrien. Comeo on get higher, loosen my lips, Faith and desire at the swing of your hips. It had rang through his ears and he grinned, fighting to forget the reasons for his untimely silence. Once again those lines played and he smirked, talking hold of Monica's hand and twirling her. The song called for a lighter tune and mood, somehow that had helped. So, he danced with her carefully playing with the tune in his head. He was going to make this night a good one.

[Monica Summers]

Monica was surprised at the sudden twirl and change of mood, but it was a good surprise. A soft laugh emerged from her, soft so as not to disturb any other people searching for quiet in the restaurant as they had done. She followed Adrien's lead with a smile on her face as he danced to the music in his head. The new light-hearted atmosphere was a nice change.

[Adrien Cold]

Adrien was dancing around her, miming the words to the song. He was showing off, moving stealthily and smoothely. He spins, then pulls her to him, singing along, ...faith and desire at the swing of your hips, just pull me down hard, and drown me in love.... He had the most intense look in his eyes, looking at her. He leans, in. Closer and closer, his lips nearing her's dangerously. But instead he smirks, letting her go once more.

Poking his tongue out, through his lips, he makes her twirl. While, he sings along to the rest of the song.

[Monica Summers]

Monica was happy dancing with Adrian. There wasn't any other way to put it really, just sheer enjoyment. When she finally caught hold of song they were dancing to, her brown eyes lit up with recognition. She loved this song, the lyrics especially. She easily was pulled to him, sliding into his hold. Their eyes locked as the blue pools that were his eyes grasped every ounce of her attention. Is he gonna do what it looks like his gonna do?! a small excited and panicky voice exclaimed from the back of her mind. She paid no attention to it though, and it melted away. When he twirled her and stuck his tongue out, a playful smirk came across her face. As he picked up the song again she mouthed the lyrics and listened to him. His voice was quite lovely.

((hehe I tried...))

[Adrien Cold]

As the song ended, Adrien makes his way back to the table, nodding his head as a sign to Monica to follow. He still couldn't help but smirk at his current achievement. He had her flustered, and oh, he was never going to let her live this down. Settling in his seat, a huge grin appears in his face, about ready to gloat. But, he stops, playing with the drink that had been placed in front of him.

He had always had the habit of playing with the drink's straw. As he does just this, he was keeping his gaze at her level. His eyes were so jubilant at the new action that it has found. They were twinkling, attempting to get her to talk about it first. "So..." he starts, the corners of his mouth disobeying the order of nonchalance.

Lol ...i tried at least...

[Monica Summers]

Monica followed and took her seat again. She was annoyed she'd allowed herself to be dazzled again, this wasn't her average date so that didn't help. He's probably not gonna let me forget it... she thought.

When he finally spoke, she decided if he was going to try to get her to start the conversation, she'd make it difficult. " 'So....' what?" she responded, with a questioning look that made it seem as if she had no idea what he was trying to get at. She was rather good at "playing dumb" when she needed to be though she hated fitting into the "blondes are dumb" stereotype when she did.

((hehe i like using that word "dazzled" xD))

[Adrien Cold]

Adrien rocked back and forth within the limited space of his chair. He was quite litterally bouncing with the newfound knowledge. His tongue appeared out of his smirking lips, mocking Monica. He shrugs, allowing himself to calm down. "Well," he says overdramatically. "I was just trying to point out our lovely moment on the dance floor. I thought it was simply-- sweet, as you should very well say. But really, all of those thoughts are blandly mine." He grins at her again, catching her eye. "How about you? I would love to hear your thoughts on the song, dance moves, etc, etc." His eyes gave off the hint of mischief as he said those words.

[Monica Summers]

Monica sighed. Getting around this wouldn't work. He'd bring it up one way or another so she might as well face it. "We did have moment didn't we?" she said. "Well, I know the song very well, I'm a fan of it." she said truthfully. "And I never knew you to be a dancer, so that was something interesting to find out." she added, with a smile.

[Adrien Cold]

Adrien was extatic regardless of Monica's efforts of evading the topic on hand. She had to come face to face with this no matter what and he knew it. Therefore, he would wait, egging her on. "Really?" He asked amused. "Weeelll," he prolongs the syllable, "I think you should very well know that I'm just full of surprises!" He winks at her, still sporting that boyish grin, teasing her.

[Monica Summers]

"Sure. Of course you are." Monica says. She tries to keep cool but she can't help it. With that grin, she lost it. "Oh shut up." she says shaking her head, she can't help but smile though. Those things are infectious, you know. And soon enough a rosy colour is on her cheeks, though the light touch of blush she applied earlier helped hide it.

[Adrien Cold]

Adrien broke out with a light laugh at her latter words. He was just teasing her of course, he was just aiming to lighten the mood of this ominously started night. He smiles at her this time, giving up his little game. "So, honestly, how was my smoothe moves?" even as he said this, he couldn't find one non-cheesy way to word it. He laughs again, scratching the back of his neck. "I thought you were good! You followed easily and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a girl who can do that."

[Monica Summers]

"They were.... impressive." Monica chuckled, pausing to find the word. He was rather good... she thought as she sipped at the drink in front of her. "Thanks." she replied with a smile.

As she glimpsed around the restaurant, she spotted their waitress making her way towards them. "Will you two be having anything else tonight? Dessert perhaps?" the waitress asked with a polite smile once she arrived at the couple's table looking between Monica and Adrien.
