❝well i was certainly quite lucky to meet you, sweetheart.❞
Jim flashes a quick, charming smile before reaching over to grab two drinks off a passing man’s tray. passing one to her, he just barely allows their fingers to touch. best to fee her small bits and pieces until he had her practically begging for it. that was the best way to have them - at their knees - looking pretty.
❝want one? you don’t look nearly drunk enough.❞
’ Is that so, Mr. Kirk? Well, it’s not everyday that a girl like me gets to meet someone so well liked. ’
—-A quick flip of her hair and soon enough the drink was in her hand. Fingers touching only for a moment, yet it sent an electric shock up her arms and with a smile brown oculi gazed at him with a curious stare. Oh he was good. Too good.
’ Trying to get me drunk huh? A gentleman too I see. ’
his grin widened by a considerable amount and for a moment, he merely stood there as he took in the young woman’s golden glow. well she certainly did know how to impress not only him, but most of the men attending this party.
❝it’s a pleasure, Miss Hale. not surely a girl as pretty as you didn’t show up alone.❞
Jim keeps his voice low and as smooth as velvet, deciding to amp up the charm until he got the information he wanted. hopefully, Carol wouldn’t be coming around anytime soon to drape herself over his shoulders just like always.
—-She bowed her head a bit at his compliment. He was a handsome man after all, and despite her overwhelming self-confidence she still blushed a little on the inside. And perhaps on the outside as well. Nonetheless, she still smiled and she laughed when he mentioned her lack of a date. A woman of her caliber didn’t need to show up to a party on the arm of a man after all.
’ Well, this one has, Mr. Kirk. Not everyone can be so lucky. ’
—-Brown eyes scanned the place with mild interest. She was more interested him, after all. But, she knew being overly fascinated with him would only disinterest him, her mother taught her that. Men can’t handle when they don’t have a pretty girl’s undying attention.
