Apple Martini Anyone?

[IVY CLAIRE VINCRETTE]

Ah. This was goooddd. Sipping down the Apple Martini with a refined look, I put it down on the table with a sigh. The martini bar was my favorite place to get a good drink now and then, I knew better than to constantly absorb the stuff. Alcohol poisoning killed your life pretty much, and I definitely didn't want anything to happen that would through my life down the drain. I let out a sigh, the sun had started to set and I was getting tired.

A long yawn, and I rubbed my eyes. Finishing off the martini, I left a nice tip for the bartender. My eyes blurred slightly, and I let out another yawn. Looking around, I felt as if some guy was watching me with a weird look. As if her couldn't decide whether or not to come out. And frankly, I'd prefer if her didn't.

Especially if it was Chase.

That lil stunt down at the bowling alley raked my mind like sharp claws, and I winced slightly. It was chilly, and some snow covered the ground. I wore a black fleece, which kept me pretty warm actually. Wearing jeans and a normal pair of boots, I looked pretty cool. My ipod playing "get out alive" By Three Days Grace. I smirked, getting up from the stool and walking off down the streets. Oh, it was quite the show wasn't it?

The play had begun, and the curtains were drawn. A small amount of alcohol was flowing through my system, but I was glad enough that I wasn't a light weight. In fact, if the Apple Martini had become a plain beer.. I probably would've rejected it. My mind formed an idea on how cool it'd be to smoke a cigarette right now. But I pushed the thought away. It was these ideas that got a person into a ton of trouble.

My hair was parted to the side, and it kept getting in the way of my eye. I didn't mind though, having it parted to the side felt unusually cool. So pretty much, I was humming a three days grace tune. And walking down a snowy street... With nothing but a fleece, jeans, and boots. Yeah, this fox thought that she wouldn't be coming into trouble today.

With the song ending, another one played. It was also by Three Days Grace, you can call me a fan seeing as she was also wearing a Three Days Grace T-shirt underneath the fleece.

The song had switched to "drown", and I started to sing the lyrics. "Good morning day, sorry im not there. But all my favorite friends vanished in the air. It's hard to fly when you cant even run. Once I had the world and now I've got no one." Ah. How I loved this band. They rocked my world.

I wanted someone who appreciated te same music I did, someone who was a loser like myself. I didn't care if he smoked, just someone to hold I guess...

I let out a sigh, the music was getting to me. Sure, a black haired cute guy would be nice. And for a few moments, I expected someone to pop right out in front of me. I let out a sigh, listen to myself. Going on and on. What the heck was I gonna do with myself. Thinking that the perfect man will come out of nowhere...

I continued on walking, stopping near a quaint ice-cream place. Looking through the windows, I felt my back pocket for my wallet. 'A martini is already fattening enough. To get ice-cream would be pushing it.' I had better sense than this, but I sat on the cement edge in front of the ice cream place.

I kept scanning the streets if any kind of guy came by, I really didn't feel like seeing Chase. In fact, the memory of that made my face seem to tighten in a snarl. I wanted someone OTHER than that guy. But the person still had to be a boy... I let out another sigh, where oh where could I find something like that...

Nothin' like a good old walk through the snow. I mean honestly! What could be better then going to get some ice cream after a long day of work. If it was maybe a little sunny? Or at least warmer then freezing. Yeah. That would be nice. But it didn't bother me to much. Especially since I wore 2 shirts, a thick sweatshirt, jeans, and well...slippers. Yeah. Slippers. But it's alright because they're guy slippers. And I can pull them off. I probably smelled a bit. A mixture of sweat and the usual guy smell. Possibly because of my place of work..the gym silly! I had been training a few guys for the past 4 hours and finally it was over. I dont know if they were just to tired or what because our lesson wasn't suppose to end for another 2 hours. Oh well. I was glad that it wasn't to busy outside so the time didn't bother me.

There was already snow on the ground and yet it continued to fall gently from the darkening sky above. I had to admit. It was rather chilly. I almost wanted to shift into my animal form to get warmer. But it didn't matter now, the ice cream stand was right around the corner. I could see the faint light being shown off the little stand. It made me think of what summer would bring. Huge crowds of shifters, begging for the last scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Mmm. My favorite. As I rounded the corner I noticed a girl sitting on one of the benches across from the little ice cream place. I gave her a funny look. Not mean, just a look that sorta said...huh... When I realized I did this, I smiled and turned my back to her as I ordered myself some ice cream. "One scoop of mint chocolate chip in a bowl please." I didn't really like the mess of a cone.

The man behind the little counter turned away to get the ice cream. As I waited I turned back around to face the girl. I couldn't quite see her that well in the light but it wasn't like I was just looking for some random hot chick. I smiled and leaned back against the counter, opening my mouth to speak calmly to her with a joking tone. "You must be out of money if you're sitting across an ice cream place. Unless you're on a diet of some kind." I looked around, pretending to search for an answer. "Which is weird. Cause you don't look like you need to be skipping out of the good stuff." She was skinny. I could at least tell that. "Let me get you something?" I approached her now, holding out my hand to help her up. Also to shake it but..more to help her up. "I'm Kayden. Kayden Brown."

I smiled gratefully up to this man, he seemed kind enough. Not the specific guy that I had in mind, but you never got the right one. It was still chilly, and I kind of wished I had a scarf with me. Accepting his hand with a shy touch, I was lifted off of the bench. Dusting myself off, I felt kind of ashamed. But then got fairly rebellious. So I said to the man, "I'm not homeless! I just happen to be sitting there. Can't one enjoy the scenery around here?"

My eyes were slightly cold, and to be truthful, I had acted like a little kid. Like I always did when people were either taller or older than me by a lot. I don't know why it just happens, so don't ask. My dark brown eyes scanned this man called Kayden, and I smirked mischievously. He seemed fun to play with, and I was a bit famished. Noting mentally that it was a good point of time to get off the diet. I was already thin enough, and that wouldn't change for a while...

"Ivy Vincrette. Nice to meet yah Kayden." My accent clashed with my normal words, it made me feel a bit unique having an Australian accent. I stood still for a few seconds, before realizing that I still had my wallet and ipod. In fact, with one Iphone in my ear and the other hanging in my hair. It was playing Decode by Paramoore now, and I kind of lit up seeing as this was a good song. I turned it down low, picking the Ipod Nano in my hand.

It had a vangogh sticker with another case to clip onto my pants over it. I scanned the song albums on the screen, wondering what I should listen too next. But of course, I realized that Kayden was still there and I perked my head back up. "Sorry. I was focused on someting else. An answer to your previous question.."

Trailing off, I thought hard about it. Then I smiled calmly, looking back up at him. "That'd be nice. I'd love something." As if in answer to that reply, I started walking over to the ice cream place. It was pretty low key, but quaint all the same. Walking up to the counter, a kindly young man smiled kindly at me. Fox senses telling me that Kayden was close by, I said to the boy, "A scoop of Rasberry Sorbet please." I loved Sorbet. You couldn't keep me away from it.

Casting a wary, prey-like glance around for any trouble I smirked up at Kayden. He seemed like a kind guy, an older brother you could say. I really wasn't in the mood for any kind of deep relationship actually, so I was just happy with this. The young man gave me the scoop, I smiled saying Thanks to the guy. Walking outside, I sat down on a metal chair that was next to a table. There were a few other chairs, and I smiled inside. It was a really nice night, music was playing from next door. So I took out my Ipod's ear phone, turning the little square device off.

I silently waited for Kayden, and it was after a few moments or even a few hours before he came outside. I waved my hand over to him, smiling like a little kid. When he got over to me, I said randomly enough, "No matter what you say, your gonna be my big brother. K?" I knew well enough I shouldn't act like this, but I had always wanted an older sibling ever since I was little. And besides, I had that "If you say no I won't listen to you" look.

So either way, you could easily tell that I was feeling a bit better.

[KAYDEN JAMES BROWN]

Her first words caught me off guard. I didn't think she was homeless. I knew she was far from it! She was a shifter, as were the rest of us. Younger then me so she probably attended the academy. Therefore, she had a home. And besides, she was to pretty. To...upkept...to be homeless. I just shook my head and smiled at her with kind, calm blue eyes. As she ordered and got what she wanted I paid the man and walked out, following to where she had chosen to sit. A quaint little metal table with two metal chairs. I was glad she let me get her something. I wasn't really looking to hook up. But I felt that it was always nice to meet new people. Especially if maybe they were new here. It wasn't even a few minutes after I sat down that she blurted out a random statement of what I was going to be to her now. I had a spoonfull of ice cream, right abot to enter my mouth as she finished her sentence. I paused. No, froze. Then I laughed, placing my spoon rather forcefully back into the ice cream. An older brother? Alrighty! I smiled happily at her, as if I had known her my whole life. Through a few laughs, I spoke. "Ha, alright! Just your big brother huh. Well good. I think you're jail bait. If you catch my drift." I gave her a sly smile before picking up my spoon and letting my mouth pull the ice cream off of it. Mmmm. Minty fresh.

I had put a few spoon fulls in my mouth and let her talk. Before she was done, I interupted. "You know I was kidding about the whole jail bait thing. First of all you don't seem that young and second I don't go around looking for random girls to 'get with'." And it was true. I don't. I haven't had a girlfriend in like...since my first year of highschool I think. And god knows I'm not a vergin. But I liked things like that to have meaning. To at least be of some importance. Not some memory I'll hardly remember because I was high or drunk. No. That would be suckish. So I figured by now she would have something fairly interesting to say so as she spoke, I continued eating my ice cream. Paying close attention so I could comment on almost everything.

I laughed at his antics, Kayden seemed real cool to me. Even though I was naught but a fox and he was probably something more rare and random. My eyes fell to the raspberry sorbet as I took the small plastic spoon and put it in my mouth. "Mmmm... I love this flavor." I smiled a wide smile, feeling a bit more lax with a guy I could semi-trust. Looking at the guy straight in the eyes, I said somewhat goofily, "I didn't think you would look for a random girl to get with. Though, when you find her, I'll be sure to bug the hell out of you. Seeing as you are my big bro now." My smile was still alit on my face, and I took another spoon full of sorbet from the bowl. Delicious.

I let out a sigh, slumping back in the metal chair. It hurt somewhat, considering that the bowling alley incident hadn't left my mind for a bit... My smile disappeared as I sort of zoned out, blinking back into reality for a few seconds. I shook my head lightly, saying to myself, "No more Apple Martinis for a while." I smirked somewhat, knowing that even such a small drink could carry a large amount of alcohol.

Luckily, I wasn't drunk yet. But it was slowly decending over me, like waves coming up during high tide. Looking back to Kayden, I smirked. Sitting up straighter, and yawning. Checking my ipod for the time, I realized that it was late. About seven already.

NOT DONE. XP Muse. Low. Slowly... Deteriorating..
