[[ Wow. Sorry this took so long. So... Many... Rp's... ]]
I let myself give him the satisfaction of getting me to giggle slightly as he acted as though I broke his heart. No, to be completely honest, I hated his motor cycle and I will never go on it. Was it bad that my heart raced at this one, pointless date of his? It might not even be considered a date. But, there would be dancing and dinner and... The tour. Right. He was just going to show me around. I had to make sure I kept my mind on the actual reason we were doing this tonight so I wouldn't get myself hooked on the wrong thing.
I wrote down my parent's address on a napkin before handing it to him. "Here."
I realized then that he might run into my father. I swallowed, wishing I could some how warn him without seeming odd. Oh well. I guess I'd have to wait and see.
"I guess I should go now. My father's expecting me to come home at a certain time."
That wasn't exactly true. My father was the type to beat around the bush, yet be completely rude at the same time. 'A nice girl wouldn't make her father wait...' is what he would say if I was late. It would be impossible to be late though because he never gave me a specific time to be there. He was confusing and expectant like that.
"See you, Conner."
I said, choosing to put another whole wall up on my heart so that I wouldn't get hurt. I just had to break up with the love of my life. I couldn't fall so quickly. And I don't think I was. It was that crooked grin and sexy look that made my head spin, not him all together. I didn't like him. Before waiting his reply, I left the coffee shop, hurried to the car, and drove out of the parking lot. Hoping I didn't just make the biggest mistake of my life.

[[ .... Hi, CH. c:> ]]
Connor stared into the mirror, impressed at what he saw. Granted, he was always impressed with his looks. Clean shaven and just a hint of cologne. Nothing too overpowering like those tools who practically bathed in it. Nope, just a little scent. And his hair? Damn. He should do it like that more often. It was slicked back with just a dab of gel, and it looked good.
Connor looked down at the sink. There, all clean and shiny, lay his lip ring. A difficult internal debate ensued as he stared at the silver polish. Nope. It was staying out tonight. She had hinted that she lived with her father at the Cafe, and he didn't want to look like the troublemaker he was.
Connor grabbed the keys from the couch cushion and sighed. His brother's new, silver Camaro. God, the car was gorgeous. It wasn't his motorcycle, but it came as a close second. That baby could purr. He climbed in the car, the scent of new leather seats greeting him. Paradise better appreciate this, because it was the only time, ever, he would be allowed to drive this baby.
The man drove swiftly to Paradise's house, or her parent's. Whichever. He pulled in the driveway, locking the car as he got out. Precautionary, of course. He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, like a gentleman. A quick glance at his watch told him it was 7:55. He was five minutes early, but hey, better early than late.
Connor glanced down at his outfit, making sure he looked okay. He pulled a piece of fuzz off of his black slacks, making sure it didn't land on his freshly-shined black dress shoes. His black dress shirt's sleeves were pulled down to his wrists, covering all his tattoos. The red and black striped tie complimented the look nicely.
All in all, Connor cleaned up pretty damn well.

[[ Thank you. We're okay now.<3
Paradise is going to love him now that the lip ring is off. |D
I felt like no one would ever understand the pressure I had on myself. Conner was a good looking guy. Every good looking guy wanted a good looking girl. And though he found me 'sweet' and 'attractive', I didn't miss his look at that girl that winked at him in the cafe. Right, I'll admit it. I'm not over it. The girl was gorgeous. I don't mean to sound like a insecure high school girl but way gorgeous then I was. I was lucky he gave me the time of day. I swallowed nervously, checking my hair in the mirror. I had decided to curl it, the brown locks draping down my shoulders just the way I wanted it to. I wore a head band so my bangs wouldn't be in my face. I wore ruby red tle="Powered by Text-Enhance" id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration:underline" href="#" in_rurl="http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTUxOTU6MTE1MjpsaXAgc3RpY2s6YjlmZjFhZmFmYTBhMDI5N2RlMjc4NjdiNGFkZWNhOWY6ei0xMTAyLTQ2NTg3Ond3dy5yZXNjcmVhdHUuY29t">lip stick - I've been told that my lips were my best facial quality, and that ruby red would be the perfect color to accentuate - with just enough eye shadow to make my blue eyes look more smoky. I had decided to wear a red dress, which I felt like it was a bit much, but kept it on. I planned on asking Conner if it was too much for what he was planning. A part of me wished it was, so I wouldn't have to feel so exposed. I haven't worn a dress like this in forever. This being my only dress.
I heard a knock on the door and my eyes widened as my father's foot steps crossed across the foyer to the door. Conner probably noticed by now that our family is quite rich, the house being huge. I walked quickly with my white flats - no heels for me. - down the long stair case just as my father opened the door.
My father, with his smug ex
pression, speculated the beautiful creature at the doorway. My blue eyes stayed widened as I stared back and forth at my father and Conner, who knew how to clean up better then I thought he would. My eyes momentarily looked at his mouth, holding back a smile at noticing he had kept his lip ring at home. I was also overjoyed to see that he was wearing a tux, my dress was just right probably for where we were going.
"Dad? This is Conner. He's going to be showing me around tonight."
My father finally stopped scrutenizing every wonderful inch of him before meeting his gaze. His ex
pression showed his disapproval. What did he find wrong with him? I couldn't even find one thing wrong.
"Have fun then."
I knew that tone. That tone meant that I'd be getting a talk later about how 'good daughters don't go out with guys like that'. 'Guys like that' were every guy that walked by. I sighed, putting a hand on my fathers arm to acknowledge his statement before closing the door behind me before he could say anything else to Conner to embarrass me. I closed my eyes slightly, before turning to see Conner.
"Sorry about that. He's... Weird around guys. I don't think he gets that you're just showing me around."
I said, a shy smile stretching my lips as my cheeks turned mighty pink. "We should go." I murmured, not waiting for him before walking quickly to the car. I think it was obvious I didn't want him meeting my father.

Connor sucked in a breath when he saw Paradise walking down the stairs. She looked stunning, almost as good as he did. And, let's face it, that was almost impossible. She wasn't even wearing heals and her legs looked amazing. And that dress? Let's just say that this guy was going to have an extremely difficult time keeping his hands to himself tonight.
Connor turned to make eye contact with the father. Truth be told, he was intimidated. The last father he had met for a pickup was his Jr. prom. Apparently, when asked when you're bringing home his daughter, the correct answer is not 'when she wants to leaves my bed'. Let's just say that date was ruined when the girl's dad went to dinner, then chaperoned the dance, then drove her home himself.
Connor shook the thought from his head. He would not make the same mistake... Hopefully. No, he would not! He was an adult, who was taking a woman to dinner. Not a nerdy, brace-face teenager who was taking a girl to prom. Besides, his acne had cleared up quite well since then.
Have fun then? Did he hear her dad right? Well, if his words didn't speak for themselves, his tone certainly did. He knew that tone. That 'this guy is scum' type of tone. And, just as Connor was about to introduce himself and shake the man's hand, bam. Door shut in his face. By Paradise.
Connor grinned back at the girl. Yupp. That's all he was doing. Showing her around town. It wasn't really a date... Just a friendly, 'howdy' to a new person in town. Right. Every fiber in Connor's being begged him to acknowledge the fact this was, indeed, a date. Ah, hell. It was, and he knew it.
Connor was about to respond when Paradise turned and walked to the car. Did she really want to get out of the house that fast? Wow. The man jogged the few feet to catch up to the girl, unlocking the car and opening her door simultaneously.
"I'm so glad you've decided to dress up, Paradise," Connor said with a smile. "You look simply ravishing." ... Ravishing was definitely a good way to put it. He had to remind himself to keep that hungry look that he got so often out of his eyes.

I was more then glad that Conner had decided to not comment on my father's rudeness. Maybe he was used to the look. The tone. The attitude. I sure hope he wasn't. If he was, that meant that my father wouldn't like him any more. And that he wasn't a good influence on me. Yes, every girl wants a bad boy. But when you really think about it, no one wants to marry one. And I dated to marry. And I don't think this guy had that in mind.
My cheeks burned at his compliment. I looked 'ravishing'? I don't think he'd realize how long I worried about what to wear, what shoes to wear, what make up to use, and how to do my hair just so I'd look better then any girl he'd pass by tonight. I better look ravishing. I better like freaking sexy for this guy.
"Thanks Conner."
I said, not able to keep the surprise from my tone. You'd think someone that's ego was high would be waiting for the compliment, not giving one. I gave him a small smile. "You look pretty good yourself." I said before going in the car.
This wasn't a date. Just a 'show around' that a guy just happened to be doing. And we just so happened to be dressed up. And having dinner. And dancing. That's it. Nothing. Else.

Connor was quite pleased when he saw Paradise's blush. Good. At least he was doing something right! Oh, was that a compliment to him? Pretty good? That was no compliment. That was almost insulting. He took out his lip ring for her. He's never done that before. And it was going to hurt like hell to put it back in, too. Pretty good... He held in a scoff.
"I'm pleased you think you," Connor finally said, flashing her another smile. He gently closed the door and walked around to the driver's side. He noticed how the nice car fit in perfectly with her gorgeous house. It almost made him nervous. What would a girl, with money, be doing with him?He felt like a male gold digger.
Connor got in the car and started it, smiling widely at the revving of the engine. He put his fingers to his lips, suddenly remembering something. He leaned into the back seat and pulled out a dozen red roses, the same color as her luscious lips.
"These are for you, my dear," Connor said, presenting Paradise the roses in a very dramatic way. "They are almost as pretty as you are."
[[ Connor, buying flowers... Hah! Let's just say he did a little flirting with the girl at the flower shop to get a discount. |D ]]

[[ Hahahahaha! Omg. |D I love him still. ]]
I let myself do the one thing I wanted to do since I first saw him at my door way as he walked toward the drivers side. I checked him out up and down, front and back. There wasn't one flaw. That only made me more nervous. I looked down at my dress. Did he think it was too much? Maybe I shouldn't have put so much make up on around my eyes. Maybe I should have left my hair straight, less of a flirty style. I didn't want him to think this was anything that had to do with flirting. Or being romantic-
My blue eyes widened at the roses. "That's so sweet, Conner."
I said, my lips parting slightly, taking the roses and smiling at him. When did Justin get me roses? On our first date. And never after. It was like Conner, actually. He gave me the flowers to reel me in, and the second he had me, he never worried about going through the trouble to give me flowers again.
Conner was probably just the same, I thought, as I chewed on my ruby red lips. Not that Justin was a jerk. He was a normal man that didn't notice those little things that girls love. That idea brought another stone wall around my heart.
"Thanks."
I said, giving him a smile that reached my eyes before setting the roses on my lap.

[[ Don't you dare compare Connor to Justin, you stupid girl! Connor is... fabulous! >U ]]
Connor shrugged at her sweet comment. If he were a lesser of a man, he might have blushed. Fortunately, he was all man. 100%, to be exact. Estrogen? He didn't have any of that girl hormone in his body. He was the type of guy who had pecks, not man-boobs. Which were quite disgusting, if you asked him.
"You're welcome," Connor said with a smile. He turned his head slightly only to see Paradise's smile. A real one. If he didn't think she could look more irresistible... Well, he was wrong. The only way she could look better now was if she were on his arm.
"You should feel special, Paradise," Connor said after a moment, pulling the car smoothly onto the freeway. "I've never gotten a woman flowers before." Wasn't that the truth?
One time, his sophomore year, he went on a date with a girl and got her flowers... She was allergic to Daisies. Never again had he gotten a girl flowers. And, truth be told, this was the first time since. The first woman he had ever gotten flowers other than his mother. His mother, who had chucked the damn things out the window. Oh, wasn't she just classy.
[[ ... Poor Connor. xD ]]

[[ |D Conner is fabulous... If you look away from the jerk-ish act. |D ]]
I rolled my eyes at Conner's comment. I had no idea if he was just messing around or serious, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.
"Oh, Conner. I feel like the most special girl in the world to just be in your presence."
I said, sarcasm laced in my tone, though teasing in my eyes. Though, inwardly, I did feel as though I was walking on air. Did he make every girl feel that way? I smiled to myself, looking down at the roses before looking out the window. I bet he did. And, just for tonight, I'll act like that wasn't true. Even if all those walls I worked so hard for that were up melted down completely by the end.

Connor couldn't hold in a laugh at Paradise's sarcastic comment. He would have said the same thing if he were her, only without the sarcasm. Hell, even he was feeling special in his presence. He was special... All the time. All day, every day!
It was only moments later that Connor pulled into the front of a very, very nice Italian restaurant. He hoped she liked Italian. Two Valet workers walked over to the car, one opening Paradise's door for her, then other opening Connor's.
Connor shook the man's hand, passing him a twenty, a tip, of course, and the keys. "Make sure it doesn't get a single scratch and I'll give you fifty more." He said softly to the man, who gave him an eager smile in response. Connor's brother should be proud. He was being responsible!
Connor walked over to Paradise's side of the car and offered his hand to the girl.
"M'lady. Shall we?" |

I lifted an eyebrow at the nice place Conner was taking me. Goodness, this only made me more nervous. I hoped I didn't do anything stupid, like have food drop in my bra or get stuck in my teeth something. Coming out of the car, I gave a small 'Thank you.' to the Valet worker that opened my door before walking over to Conner.
"We shall."
I said in a more giggly tone, feeling silly for playing the act. I looked at his hand, hesitating on taking it for only a moment. Hopefully my hesitation wasn't noticeable. I held his hand, hoping it wasn't too clammy, or too dry. Or, maybe it was too limp in his hand. Or, was I squeezing too tight? I swallowed, hoping I could get through this night with out hyperventilating.

[[ Oh, God. Paradise. You... just... |D ]]
Connor raised his eyebrow when Paradise didn't immediately take his hand, like most other girls would have. Thankfully, she didn't see because she was too busy staring at his hand. Her hand felt so... Delicate underneath his hands. Her skin was soft, and it was certainly nice. He hadn't held a girl's hand in forever... Sure, he's pinned them down. But held? Not recently.
Connor walked up to the desk and smiled at the man behind it.
"Ah, Connor! So lovely to see you again." The man turned and looked at Paradise curiously. "I see you have brought a lady friend. I'll get you the best table in the house, then."
Connor just smiled at the man before turning back to Paradise. He gave her a soft shrug, before the waiter came back and took them to their table. It was on the upper floor, which was only about 5 steps up from the lower one, and right on the railing. You could see the crystal chandelier sparkling brightly above their heads. The perfect setting.
Connor slid the seat back for the girl, flashing her a grin.
"Your seat, m'lady."

[[ |D ]]
You have no idea how happy I was to not hear the man behind the desk say 'I see you have brought a new lady friend'. I smiled at him nervously, wishing I could give him a huge bear hug for not saying that. I shrugged back at Conner, just as the man came back to take us to our seats.
Following the two men, I went to the chair, smirking up at Conner when he slid the seat back. Would I be to fat for him to slide the seat back in? My cheeks paled when my back was already too him at the thought. Sitting down, I held my breath slightly, hoping with all of my heart he'd be able to slide it in.
"Thanks Conner."
I said with a small shake of my head. What has gotten into him? He's impressing me mightily much.

Connor simply smiled at the girl as she sat down, pushing the chair in easily. He turned back to his seat and sat down quickly. He motioned to the menu in front of her and grinned.
"Get whatever you want, Paradise. Lobster, even, if it suits your fancy," He grinned and opened his own menu, but not before eyeing the wine menu. He inwardly frowned. No alcohol for him tonight; he was driving. But, if Paradise wanted a glass...
"Feel free to get your choice of wine, if you wish as well."
Connor grinned at the girl again, barely able to see her over the top of his menu. She might not have been able to see his mouth grinning, but it was obvious in his eyes. They sparkled with a mixture of mischief, longing and happiness. It was all there, every last bit. |

At his statement about wine, I hesitated on it. Wine would get me... Loose. And I didn't want Conner to see me loose. But, maybe I needed to. I felt like I was about to turn into a statue with how stiff and nervous I was.
"I think I'll take glass."
I said nonchalantly, looking up at his eyes aftr grabbing a menu with suspicion. Who cares what he wanted. I wasn't going to have a glass so he could get in my pants or anything. I was going to have a couple glasses for myself. Even if I'll regret it by the end of the night. This 'tour' not a date.
