After School

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh sighed. Of course... the hot ones always came with baggage. "Look, you broke up. Or rather, she broke up with you. She stomped all over your heart and didn't even care. You don't owe her anything anymore... in fact, she owes you. So stop moping and spend one night not thinking about her- one night where you can just be you. Then you can go back to feeling bad... but just for one night, do something you want to do."

[Ace Stone]

Ace stared at her mouth as she spoke, trying to focus on what she was saying, but his mind kept wondering back to when they were kissing just a minute ago. Clearing his throat, Ace straightened and chucked down the shot, then grabbed himself another. "I uh.. I'm not making the first move," he slurred, the only thing he could think to say, which was pretty lame compared to her speech.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh chuckled. "You didn't the first time" she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling his head down to her level again. She pressed her lips to his, waiting for a response... again.

[Ace Stone]

This time, Ace kissed her back right away, his hands lifting to the small of her back and pulling her closer to him and between his legs as she stood in front of him. "You like me?" he asked quietly against her lips.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh pulled back and held up her right hand, her forefinger hovering over her thumb to show an inch or so. "Maybe just a little," she said, grinning.

[Ace Stone]

Ace crinkled his nose, taking her forefinger and extendin it up a few inches. "How about that?" he asked with his own grin now,dragging out his words involuntarily.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh looked at him oddly, trying to read his expression. She knew he was just being nice- and drunk- but this was boarder line flirting. Lord knows she wasn't here for that.

She grinned and walked back over to the bar, pouring herself another shot and downing it. Man, she was going to have to get darn drunk if she was going to stand this guy. Too bad he was so hot...

[Ace Stone]

((poor ace! haha. he's so desperate right now, lol))

Ace watched for a moment through his blurry eyes, waiting a moment before going over as well and pouring himself another drink. "So.. how about we continue that question game we were playing?"

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh sat back on one of the bar stool, smiling. "Sure. I think it's your turn to ask me.... I think..."

[Ace Stone]

Ace hopped up into the bar stool next to her, smiling as well. "Well... how many boyfriends have you had before?"

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber lifted her glass, hiding her smile behind her drink. "What do you qualify as 'boyfriend'?"

[Ace Stone]

"Uh.. I dunno," he mumbled, shrugging cluelessly. "Like.. whoever you've been with, I guess."

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh started ticking off numbers on her fingers. "Well there was.... and then... oh yeah, can't forget him... actually dated that one.... so, that comes to about 15."

[Ace Stone]

Ace chuckled, surprised to by that. "Well damn, wasn't expecting that many," he said teasingly.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber chuckled. "Actually, that's not that high. I have a friend who sleeps with one person every week. That's just what she does on her Friday nights. She calls it her hobby." She downed the shot and shook her head, trying to regain some sense of equilibrium. "What about you? How many people have you dated and/or been with?"

[Ace Stone]

Ace thought for a moment, then held up four fingers, wingling them. "But I'm still a virgin," he admitted a little shyly. "What about you?"

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh looked incredulous. "Seriously? You're still a virgin? Wow... I'm surprised...a guy like you- you think you'd have gotten some tail yeeeears ago," Amber said bluntly, slurring her words a little and completely ignoring his question.

[Ace Stone]

He shrugged her comment off. "I've had the oppertunity to a few times, but.." He took a moment to think, losing his train of thought. "But.. it means a little more to me than most. Well.. it used to. I don't really give a shit anymore."

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber took another drink, closing her eyes. "So, who's turn is it to ask the questions?" she asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the conversation.

[Ace Stone]

Ace thought for a long moment, finding it extremely hard to focus and remember. "Uhh... I'm pretty sure it was yours," he slurred.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh's head slumped on the table. "I... can't... think... of anything..." she said, banging her head against the cool surface.

[Ace Stone]

Ace laughed, quickly slipping his hand under her head to stop her and lifting it gently, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "Silly girl.. don't hurt yourself."

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber smiled and looked at him fully for the first time. "You have really pretty eyes," she said, slurring her words a little.

[Ace Stone]

"Thanks," Ace breathed with a nervous laugh. "You have pretty... everything."

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber punched him playfully. "Quiet you." She looked back over to the radio, which was playing another faster song. "You wanna dance again, now that you know how?" she asked, grinning and pointing to the middle of the floor.

[Ace Stone]

He grinned and nodded, taking her hands and backing up, pulling her out onto the dance floor. "Lead the way," he offered.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amber wrapped her arms around Ace's neck again, molding her body to his. She moved her hips to the downbeat of the song, staring up at him intently.

[Ace Stone]

Ace smiled a little shyly as he moved his hips with hers, his hands placed on her sides, just above her hips. His adorable dimples showed as he looked into her eyes, though his vision was a little blurry from the alcohol. "I've drank way too much," he mumbled.

[Amberleigh Brown]

Amberleigh chuckled. "That's why I'm leading, handsome." She winked and pulled herself closer to him, putting her head on his chest.

[Ace Stone]

Ace smiled to himself, wrapping his arms around her in return and leaning his head down to whisper in her ear. "I dunno how I'm gonna get home.."
