Subtleknifewielder Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) OOC: Okay, I'll have them make out. IC: With that, Jed would tell the driver to take them to the nearest Chinese resturant. The driver, an aged man in the mid-forties, chuckled as he muttered something that sounded like 'young love' under his breath. (OOC: Do I RP the driver, as well? If not, disregard that sentence.) For much the car ride, Jed and Laurel would chat (or more like flirt) as she giggled at his comments and jokes and the like. Jed had never felt so comfortable chatting with a beautiful young woman sitting besides him. Had he finally found his true love...? Finally, they arrived at the destination, and the driver got out of the car. Opening the door, the cab driver grinned as Laurel and Jed got out of the car. As the 'lovebirds' walked into the resturant, the cab driver chuckled and shook his head. "Young love, indeed!" Upon entering the resturant, Jed and Laurel were almost immediately designated a table (perhaps they recognized Jed and respected him?). They ordered their food and drinks, and chattered while they waited for the food to arrive. When the food finally arrived ("Here's to the world!" Jed had toasted, inciting a giggle from Laurel). They had such a great time, they talked about everything (well, not everything exactly of course. But you get what I mean). It was one of the greatest days in their lives, one that they will never forget. --- OOC: I guess I'll continue. IC: Aaron chuckled. "Indeed. It's an interesting trend, so to say, heh." OOC: Yeah, I'll go with that first part. But she already told the driver to go to the nearest Chinese Restaraunt... And no making out... oh, wait, good, you didn't do that. IC: "I must say this has been the best day I've had in a long time," Laurel said, as they walked out of the restaurant. Showing Jed the sights of the city had completely left her mind in the enjoyment of the day. Underneath his intial shyness was a man with an excellent sense of humor, and a good grasp on many subjects they had discussed. They had, in fact, stayed long after their meal was done, and the sun was getting quite low in the sky, something she noted with a bit of disappointment. Well, I suppose I should probably take you home now," she commented, noting the irony in the fact that the girl was taking the guy home, instead of the other way around... "Taxi!" she called, at a passing taxi... ------------------ Now this was a subject upon which Aaron's driver could wax quite eloquent when he chose to. "Oh, definitely," he said, as the light turned green once more. "As fast as public opinion changes, I have to wonder sometimes, how do politicians do it? How do they keep the people happy with what they do? No, sirree, I wouldn't become a politician if you offered to pay me a million Pounds. I just wish sometimes that the public would see its own hypocrosy, like asking for more freedom one day, then more security the next. It's just common sense that you can't have it both ways!"

Jed grinned. "Yes, I agree with you on that. This was simply a great day, my dear." He added the last word in a teasing tone. He felt a sense of disappointment of the fact that this wonderful day was nearing its end. But then, all good things must come to an end. Jed grinned. "Take me home? My, I feel honored..." He joked, winking. --- OOC: Do you want to skip ahead in the next update? IC: Aaron laughed. "Oh, I get what you mean. Most politicans are always like that, they crave power. They have to do everything just to remain in power, and that includes keeping the population happy. I should know, I was a politica--no, I was a mere Emperor." Aaron smirked.

She giggled again as the taxi came to a stop next to them. This time she didn't wait for Jed to open the door, but rather opened it herself. If she was taking him home, she might as well switch the roles completely for the fun of it. "You should feel honored," she said, winking right back as she waited for him to get in. "I don't do this for just anyobody, you know..." ------------------- OOC: OK. IC: The driver chuckled at the comment that Aaron was a 'mere' Emperor, nodding in agreement with the entire statement. He didn't speak again until they had arrived at Aaron's new home. Pulling into the driveway, he commented... "I know it's probably not what you're used to..." The residence they pulled up to was a two-story building (not counting the attic) of Victorian architecture. The landscaping around it included several small deciduous trees, an incomplete hedge, and miniature fence that was more for decoration than to keep people off the property. "So, what do you think...?" OOC: I just remembered...where's Henry? If you like, you can say he's with Aaron so he can get acquainted with his new home...that, or he got a car all to himself with a woman who loves dogs...

(Not Laurel, obviously, as she's with Jed) Jed's smile widened. "Really? That is an honor." He grinned. "Thank you." The former Prime Minister got into the cab. He smiled as he looked at Laurel, subtly admiring (he'd refused to say 'checking her out') her. 'Man, she's so beautiful...' He thought to himself. --- Aaron raised an eyebrow as he surveyed the building. He smirked. "Ah, that's alright. It looks nice, heh." It may not be the Dolmabahce Palace, but it was nice, indeed. And speaking of the Dolmabahce Palace, Aaron frowned a bit as he thought of Kelikark and the recent coup that had taken place about a week before. 'Kelikark....I swear you will regret it.' Aaron thought to himself as he opened the door and got out. Henry, who'd been sitting next to Aaron, barked softly and jumped out after him. OOC: D'oh! I always forget about Henry. Ya, you can say he's with Aaron. The cab driver noticed him and commented about him and whatnots. You don't have to edit your previous posts.

"So," she said, clearing her throat. "You'll need to give the cabbie your address. Once we're there, I'll tell you how to get to mine...it's within walking distance." ------------------------------------- The driver discretely ignored the shadow that crossed Aaron's face, as he undoubtedly thought of his homeland. "Well, if you ever need anything, just call the number on this card, and follow the instructions under it." If Aaron looked at the card before pocketing it, it would have a phone number, and several code phrases that would let the operator on the other end know exactly who to transfer him to--specifically, Richard Anderson.

Kissing was not for a first date...was it? OOC: your choice on skipping forward or not... ----------------- IC: "Oh, yes, forgot. The trunk locks automatically when you close it."

He wanted to kiss her, but he wasn't sure of how she would respond. What if he did that, and she didn't feel the same way? It would certainly ruin their 'date' and make things awkward between them...and he didnt certainly want that. --- Aaron laughed as he slapped the driver on the back. "That's quite interesting. We didnt have that back in Byzantium...I think." He grinned as he got his bags out of the trunk.

Or, even better, they can get in the day before because of the--*ehem*--connections her brother has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDCJT Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 "Good. Glad we have an understanding."She turned to Jed, who still had the rather surprised look on his face. She chuckled a bit at Henry's tilted head. He truly looked amusing like that. "Now, if any of you need to find me, I live just three streets up that way," she said, pointing North along the steet, "and one block to the right. The number of the house is 719. Or, if you just need to talk, call me." She drew a pen and piece of paper out of her pocket and wrote a 7-digit number, her phone number, on it, and handed it to Jed. Not having anything else to say, she gave Henry one last pat on the head, and began walking down the street. "Well, see ya'll later!" she called... OOC: Oh! Sorry about that... IC: Jed smiled as he continued to look at Laurel's retreating back. He turned to Aaron, who smirked and jerked his head at her. Henry tilted his head to the side and barked a couple of times. The former Prime Minister smiled and nodded, feeling confidence surge through him. He ran toward Laurel. Reaching her, Jed turned her around and kissed her, right on the lips. Aaron grinned widely as he and Henry walked back into the residence... OOC: Aren't I the hopeless romatic? OOC: So, shall we fast-forward to the Grand Opening of the Museum of Religion? Or, even better, they can get in the day before because of the--*ehem*--connections her brother has. OOC: Hm, sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She smiled, touching her lips absently, as she watched him return. However, the chill of the coming night reminded her that she needed to get home. OOC: OK, here we go... IC: EPISODE 3 Six days later... Laurel, with no warning, suddenly showed up at the brothers' house. knocking on the door, she held her other hand in her pocket, where she held two very important slips of paper...

And should we say that Jed took up her offer to visit her at least once during the week? you decide, and if so, you decide how many times hit was. Let's say this is a first, her coming to them, other than the time we just finished, where she brought him home. IC: "Hi. Is Jed home?" She looked at Aaron pointedly, trying to communicate without words that she would still brook no teasing from him.
