[4:12 PM, Friday] "You...Don't get guests a lot, do you?" Oz tilted his head in confusion at the question, “No? Not really?” He saw Jaluna was following him into the sink room and chuckled, “Gonna follow me into the shower too?” Huh what was this about him being an active sleeper? … As Jaluna told him apparently only some of what happened he couldn’t help but look down to his saluting little sailor and realize he had been betrayed. Also for the cream on his mouth to be all over her neck like that… wait now that she was washing it off… “Are those…” He had nibbled the hell out of her neck. “Ah… a hickey…” He watched Jaluna retreat from the room… Well... [4:32PM, Friday] Oh hell she was still blushing and squirming about something and there was a really cute little smile on her face and knowing he already had a little taste but not remembering it… Focus Oz. Still… He couldn’t help but think he would really love to take her swimsuit shopping or… Focus Oz. “Fine but I won’t eat seafood without something to drink… probably bring some Allagash Whites… But what should we bring for you...” What was she looking so nervous for with that smile? [4:58PM, Friday] “Nope,” Ozwin replied simply the first time Jaluna brought up paying and tugging on her puffed up cheek to get her to follow. He spent money on almost nothing usually. His food and housing was mostly covered, and he mostly played TS in his off time, and he only had to grab drinks a couple times a month for when he wanted something the hotel didn’t have. He went places, but for more common destinations like the aquarium he had a annual pass and his grandfather owned the dock where he and a few members of the family kept their boats. He was just happy to be spending some of it on something fun. Much later Oz watched Jaluna competing with kids half her age for a view of the Orca tank and had an entertained smile as he pulled her away to get some ice cream. Of course she fussed about paying again. “Hmm? Most of the time even on a date I go Dutch. It is mostly that you want to pay and that makes me want to tease you… Though…” Oz stopped speaking and took a bite of Jaluna’s ice cream… Hmm interesting flavor… Sweet but not fruity. Still he prefered the taste of his own more. Ah people were starting to crowd around the tank now, and the lights dimmed as the diver came into view and swam around with the Orca. Speaking of liking his more though… He was still caught up in that sigh Jaluna just let out before licking her own lips. Despite using a napkin they didn’t look dry at all, rather healthy lips the color of… Well he had to give it an honest shot now. Noticing there was still a bit of Matcha ice cream on Jaluna’s lips he scooted closer, pulled Jaluna in by her waist. He lightly ran the hand that had pulled her close up her back, pressing her torso against his own before his lips sucked on Jaluna’s top lip and licked the ice cream off… Not enough was it? Her mouth was already parted now though so he dived back in and giving her bottom lip a soft nibble before his tongue made its way past her lips, seemingly prying her teeth open as it felt around the inside of her mouth and then tangling up with her tongue. More and more his tongue tugging hers back into his own mouth. His hand that formerly held his ice cream was now gripping a handful of her hair on the back of her head, tugging lightly, but not painfully to guide her mouth into a better angle with his own and the hand that had already been on her back drifted back down slowly like a masseur feeling for kinks, moving slower and slower as it drifted down the small of her back. Meanwhile he had finally pulled her tongue past his own lips and was sucking on it now with his lips while still entangling it with his own tongue. His hand had just started kneading her asscheek as the lights started to come back on and he slipped away. “Damn has it already been ten minutes? Sorry, I didn’t intend to make you miss the whole orca show.” Oz slouched backwards sighing a bit before looking at Jaluna. “But yeah after thinking about it... I thought maybe we should make this a date, or at least make it an obvious option on the table. I’m bad at dancing around issues when I realize I want something you see.” He pointed at Jaluna and then leaned in so only she could hear with his lips brushing against her ear. “In this case someone. In case you are going to continue to be a bit of a dense dope, I want every last inch of you quite badly. I’ve been really trying with everything I have not to push you down on the bed and ask if you want to explore each other in depth. Turns out I felt strongly enough about that I went ahead and did so while my noggin was in sleep mode... warned you I am a bad man.” He gave her earlobe a quick tug with his teeth before standing up straight again. “Anyway, I don’t need an immediate answer, it just really helped to get that kiss off my mind. If we leave now we should get a good hour or two at the library, so let’s get that squishy butt of yours moving then.” He pulled Jaluna up by her hand but didn’t let go of her hand as he confidently began escorting her to the exit. [7: 07 PM, Friday] They stepped out of the cab and faced the Boston Library. The cab ride over had been pretty quiet but he had been in a rather good mood. “You know… you still haven’t given me that book or told me what it is even about. What sort of writing do you do?” He linked arm with Jaluna’s and began walking up to the building.
[4:13PM, Friday] "Nope, I'll let you enjoy your shower in peace. It'd be useless if it became a mess, after all." Her words were vague, but yet felt strongly clear that his actions in his sleep had struck her train of thought and turned it into a tunnel straight to the gutters. Hopefully, he wouldn't notice how much her brain was spinning. She hadn't actually noticed the hickey until he spoke the word, eyes glancing at her neck in the mirror with an even greater blush. "I-It'll probably go away soon enough, anyway." Her words were stuttered, a clear uncertainty due to lack of experience. To be fair, that had been the first time she was touched so much- especially getting a hickey, or something of the like. Well, at least she was learning a lot this trip, even if not in the ways she'd meant to. [4:32PM, Friday] "I'll take a taste of whatever that is, but really, just water is fine for me. I don't drink enough liquid in general. Or tea, if there is any. Tea and fish go great together." Her soft smile was a bit easier, but still, there was a struggle in her mind that returned to his wake-up call...His very unique wake up call. [5:00PM, Friday] The fact that he found it fun to 'tease her' by paying her share was a confusing concept, but not nearly as confusing as the moment she found herself pulled towards him, mouths clashing together for a kiss she'd never had before. She'd been kissed in the game, sure- but this was real life. This was a real kiss. Wait...Why was she being kissed? And more importantly, why couldn't she fight him off? Face like a beet, she returned the gesture, arms moving to wrap around his torso and embraced him, trying desperately to ignore the clear embarrassment on her face. She could taste his ice cream from his tongue that tried to play tag with her, a flavor that mixed well both with her own dessert and the unique flavor that belonged to the man's mouth. When they were finally separated, she stared at her lap. His apologies about the orca event went in one ear and out the other, mind still spinning to process what just happened. *Did I just...make out with a guy? Did I really just kiss Oz?* With a brief, heavy shake of the head, she calmed herself and readjusted her senses to really focus on his words. "To want something doesn't make you a bad man," She murmured. To her, Oz was still far more angelic than devilish, even if his kiss had been a bit more the other. Her fingers brushed her lips, a tingling still left there. "It's a date then...?" The thought was a mixture of pleasing and problematic. Would it be wrong to say she kind of like his original plan plenty? [7:07PM, Friday] Boston Library was a far bigger building than she'd expected, leaving her in awe and amazement. She unknowingly clutched her escort's hand, pulling him closer to her when she was being led by the arm by hugging it, her nose digging unconsciously into his sleeve. "I write a variety of things. Fantasy, sci-fi...I'm not as good with the romance stuff, but I try. I have a poetry anthology that was published somewhere, too. Who knows, we might find it." It wasn't really likely- that book wasn't particularly special, so it'd be strange to her if a library had it. "The book I'm giving you is generally a fantasy adventure. I have it in my luggage, so I'll give it to you the moment we get home. Though..." Her thoughts were as embarrassing as they had been the entire trip, which had made her silent for quiet a while. Timidly, she brought herself to her toes to reach his ear, kissing it softly when she spoke only to him. "Though, I might want something from you in return now..."
