Bic;

Cole listened to her as he started up the engine to his car. The purr of the Shebly GT hummed against his fingertips and the boy smiled. "Ice cream sounds great," he said and he meant it. It would be nice to get away from all the pop star things. He only hoped people wouldn't recognize him, what with Kiarra mentioning that it was a small town.

Cole punched in the streets she mentioned onto his GPS. They popped up and showed a mere seven minute ride to his destination. "So am I seeing you there or picking you up?" he asked as he pulled out of the garage.

"I'll be the guy in the gray shirt and jeans," he said jokingly to her, knowing that almost anyone could spot Cole Remier from a distance.

He made his way to the ice cream shop and let out a sigh of relief when all he saw was an elderly couple sharing an ice cream at a nearby picnic table. He parked the Shelby nearest to the shop and slid out of the luxury car. With a few uninterested, and slightly irritated looks from the elderly, Cole leaned against his car as he waited.

He realized he was still holding the phone to his ear. "Oh, see you soon," he said awkwardly.

"Hi Mr. Remier. I'm Kiarra...I believe we talked over the phone?" Cole arched his brows at her formal tone and shook his head, his lanky frame shaking with silent laughter.

"I knew there was a pretty face behind your phone, but I didn't expect you to be this beautiful," he said, the words slipping from his mouth before he could stop them. He felt his cheeks burn a light pink and he scratched the back of his neck in an effort to calm himself. "It's great to meet you in person, Kiarra and really, call me Cole." he said warmly.

(I love this role-play <3)

He ran his hands through his hair when Kiarra blushed at his accidental, yet undeniably true comment. He pursed his lips at the slight awkward yet sweet accordance at the use of his first name. "Care to join me for ice cream, Kiarra?" he asked, making sure to teasingly drag out her name.

He held out his arm to her in a gesture of kindness, finding the initial formalness of the conversation giving the action a humorous bounce. He winked at her, then realized just how easy their talk and connection was. He knew he was going to enjoy himself today.

"As long as I'm not Mr. Remier, you'll be Kia," he promised. Even though the older people moderately close by couldn't hear him already, he craned his neck down to whisper in Kia's ear. "Mr. Remier makes me sound old," he complained before pulling lightly on her and leading the way to the ice cream shop.

"I can't remember the last time I've eaten ice cream," Cole said, voicing his previous thoughts to Kia. He blinked. Voicing his thoughts? That was something Cole never did unless it was through music or a need-to-know basis. But, speaking his mind didn't bother him now.

"What do you suggest I get?" he asked as he eyed the waffle cones.

He was forced to shake his head at the mention of coffee flavored ice cream; that did nothing for him. "I'll eat anything with cookie dough. Either that or black raspberry with chocolate sprinkles," he said and pauses. He hadn't had ice cream since the last time he had gone with his mom. The raspberry, he had hated at first, but it was his mom's favorite flavor so he learned to love it, too.

"What can I get for you two?" the man at the counter asked, his small town accent thick in his kind tone.

"The coffee with chocolate bits for Kia here and a black raspberry with chocolate sprinkles for me," he said. "Sound good?" he asked Kia.

Ooc; I think I passed out as soon as I put my iPod on my nightstand. xD

Bic;

Cole turned back to Kia, catching a snippet of her last words to Tony. He leaned up against the ice cream counter and crossed his arms. "You know, on a first date, even as friends, if you'd like to call it that, guys always insist on paying for whatever it is we're doing," he said which Tony nodded in agreement to Kia.

He handed Cole his ice cream and the boy looked it over for a moment, turning the waffle cone over in his fingers as he had with the rose before. "That being said, I insist on paying," he said as he placed the money on the counter. With the extra change he received, he stuck that in the tip jar. "Don't worry, I'll let you pay next time," he said with a wink as he opened the door again.

Ooc; Lol what should they do now? Something romantic. o-o PADDLE BOATS...in the sunset? 8D

Bic;

Cole ran his hands through his hair yet again as she followed him out the door. He let the glass pane swing shut behind him as he led them over to a picnic table. Sitting down, he licked some of the sprinkles off of his black raspberry ice cream, catching a few melted lines that were running down the cone. The heat of the day was making him feel uncomfortable, but the coolness of the ice cream was helping.

He looked over at Kiarra, her light blonde hair falling past her shoulders gently and lightly swaying in the wind. He smiled at her and held out a napkin to her just in case the creamy treat dripped on her. "So, tour guide, I hear this town has a nice lake around here; really big?" he asked.
