| Summary: Alexa Donovan and Violet Karrde go on their first date together. Warning: extremely mushy sappiness content ahead.   |
Violet can be seen just outside the UR for a moment, apparently psyching herself up. She takes a deep breath and holds it in for a moment before stepping into the restaurant, cautiously looking around the place. While Alexa might not be aware of it, the fact that Violet's actually wearing makeup other than eyeliner is almost unheard of; she's actually wearing lipstick and eyeshadow tonight. It's hard to tell if she's wearing blush or not, since it's pretty clear she's actually blushing, as well. As she spots Alexa, she actually freeze for a brief moment before walking on over to her. "Hey, uh, H-hi!" Alexa turns when she hears her name, then smiles brightly, blushing a little herself. She nods to Violet, letting out a little exhale. "Evenin' Miss Violet. You look stunnin' tonight, if you don't mind me sayin'." Violet says, "Eheheh.... Thanks, I, uh, you too, Alexa. I almost didn't recognize you without a hat and with your hair down..." She laughs nervously again before asking, "So, um, how've you been today?" Alexa smiles with nervous chuckle of her own. "Thanks, darlin'. And honestly? Nervous, but all in all, lookin' forward to tonight. Yourself?" Violet laughs again. "A whole lot of the same, really!" She crosses her hands in front of her, looking down breifly before looking back up again. "Um, so... S-Shall we go?" Alexa nods. "I'd like that very much." Smiling, she walks over to the door and opens it, gesturing to Violet to walk through. "Ladies first." Violet laughs yet again... Yeah, it seems Violet's nervous laughter might be a theme tonight... "So you're saying you're not a lady? But you look so good in that skirt!" She walks through the door, but grabs for Alexa's hand as she passes her by. Alexa blushes a little, and takes Violet's hand. "Skirts don't make a lady, darlin'.
Alexa grins, following Violet out. She thinks of something, smirks, but doesn't say it out loud. Not yet. She looks up where Violet points. "Now that sound like a mighty fine idea. Lead the way!" Tokyo Tower Violet steps into the building at the base, looking around as she leads Alexa in. Cafe, restaurant, aquarium, lounge, there's more to this place than just the tower, and that's just the first floor of Foot Town! But there are still of course those prominant elevators just ahead, waiting there for passengers up to the top! Alexa_Donovan decides to walk along with you. Alexa looks around, whistling quietly. "I admit, I ain't been to a city in a while, but this ain't shabby." she squeezes Violet's hand gently. "In fact, I could be gettin' to like it here." Violet, predictably, laughs nervously. "Well, it certainly has its moments... Do you want to go on up, or do you want to see the aquarium, or get a bite to eat already, or...." She trails off, having run out of things to suggest. "Uh, yeah...." She looks over to Alexa nervously. Alexa smiles hopefully reassuringly. "Let's get that bird's eye view you were goin' on about, then go from there." She looks at her for a long moment. "You ain't gotta be skittish around me, darlin'. At least, I hope you'll grow not to be." Violet blushes fiercely as Alexa looks at her for that moment. "I know, I know, I know, I'm just.... really.... I've been super excited about this, and.... yeah..." She grins to Alexa. "I've, uh, not really had a date in years, so, I'm excited and rusty and nervous and really really happy all at the same time, so shall we go on up?" Without waiting on another answer to that questions, she once again grabs for Alexa's hand to drag her off quickly towards the elevators! ...Where they have to wait, because of course none of the elevators are at the floor right now. Alexa laughs a little as she's dragged... to a halt.. "I ain't been on a proper date in a while neither." She squeezes Violet's hand gently again. "An' I'm all those things too... especially excited and happy." Violet looks down at her squeezed hand with a warm smile. "It's silly, we've barely started, but I'm already having a lot of fun..." And the door opens, allowing the pair to enter! Well, once the people already on step out, of course. Alexa grins. "Me too. Heck, I'm already debating on asking you out on a second date." She chuckles as she dodges the people stepping off the elevator car. Violet steps into the elevator, turning around to look at Alexa with a mock look of hurt. "What do you mean, debating?! Are you having second thoughts already?" She pouts a bit. Alexa follows in, smirking. "Nah, not at all, darlin'. I was just waitin' for the right time." She stands next to Violet, still not letting go of her hand. After a ride in silence, with Violet seemingly happy to just hold onto Alexa's hand for the moment, the elevator doors open up onto the observation deck. Once again, Violet moves out first, almost pulling Alexa onward. "I was here just a couple of weeks ago, but it was in the middle of the day! ...and with my half-sister. But it's a great view of the city from here! I mean, you're used to looking at things from above, I'm guessing, from your time flying your ship, but still!" Alexa looks out into the cityscape, looking at the lights along the streets. After a minute, she looks up at the stars, almost wistfully, sighing softly. She then smiles a little and looks at Violet for another long moment. "It's lovely darlin', but I got somethin' far prettier here next to me." Violet was looking at Alexa already with a smile when the other woman turned to look at her. "Eheheh.... Gyiffg...." What a way with words Violet can have when she's inspired. Her face going a bit more red, and she looks towards the ground... itself a spectacular sight, as the floor is transparent. She squeezes Alexa's hand briefly before looking back up to her face. She fidgets slightly, then reaches over to take Alexa's other hand, her face just beaming. Alexa blushes a bit and smiles as Violet takes her other hand, and as she does, her eyes never leave Violet's as she lifts that hand to her lips and kisses it softly. "You're beautiful when you smile like that." She lowers the hand and squeezes both, not averting her gaze. She bites her lip a little nervously. "Well, if you don't mind me sayin', as I don't want to scare you off, but I think you're just beautiful." Violet blushes fiercely at the kiss of her hand, but doesn't take her eyes off Alexa's the whole time, nor does the smile leave. "You're not scaring me off, Alexa, not by a long shot. It's more like... Words I've been craving to hear for years." She just stands there for a moment longer before saying, "You're exactly what I needed right now in my life. That drink was the best money I've ever spent." Alexa smiles brightly at that. "Best drink I ever had, darlin'. But to hear that nobody's said that to you in a while is a damn crime." She keeps her eyes locked. "Just means I'm gonna have to tell you every time I see you, then. Which I hope is often." Violet says, "Heee.... Then that makes the both of us." Nope, she could not keep the nervous laughter at bay for quite long enough. But after another moment of just staring at Alexa, Violet suddenly throws caution to the wind and leans straight in for a kiss already! There's no lifting a hand, there's no aiming for the cheek, no, Violet's aim is straight for Alexa's glossed lips! Alexa blinks at the sudden move, smiles, and then meets her lips halfway, closing her eyes for a nice, soft, lingering kiss. As they meet, she pulls Violet's hands, albeit gently, to move her closer. Violet quite readily moves in closer as her hands are guided, though her hands indeed move further than Alexa's had pulled them. In fact, she finally lets go of the other woman's hands, now moving them up and around to the back of her waist, pulling her closer as well. Her heart beats fast and strongly, almost audibly in her own ears as the world around her seems to vanish to her senses. For this moment, for Violet, it's just her and Alexa, and Violet makes no attempts to end it just yet. Alexa sighs happily, her now freed hands moving up to cup Violet's face. Her heartbeat matches her date's, and she actually seems to be trembling a little as they hold each other. She forgets where she is, forgets that there are people around, and wouldn't care if she did remember. All that matters is this moment, this kiss, and this beautiful girl who thankfully chose to spend some time with her. Eventually, even Violet has to come up for air. As such, after what is probably far too long to the people milling around the pair, Violet finally breaks off the kiss. She doesn't pull away, though, or even loosen her hands' hold around Alexa's waist. She can't even fully break contact between their faces, as she leans her forehead against Alexa's. "Wow," is all she's able to get out at first. "Um... Yeah." Alexa smiles just a little, having not even opened her eyes. "I.. just.. yeah. Wow." She echoes Violet's sentiments in a whisper. She does move her hands down to Violet's shoulders to rest, though. "I saw fireworks.." she chuckles softly. Violet goes right back into her nervous giggle again. "Do we even want to go anywhere else tonight? We've barely even looked at the city. What a horrible tour guide I am..." No, she's definitely not actually feeling down on herself for that. Even the often low self-esteemed Violet is well aware that, for the moment, she herself is the best attraction the city has to offer Alexa. With a content sigh, she closes her eyes again and sways side to side lightly. Alexa smirks. "Darlin', I wasn't interested in the city in the slightest. Just the tour guide." She links her hands around Violet's back, hugging her close, swaying with her. "So.. this seems like the right time to ask about that third date..." Yes, third. Violet giggles again, moving her head to rest on Alexa's shoulder. "Oh, you're talking about a third now? Isn't that a bit hopeful thinking on your part?~" She laughs yet again. "That's pretty far ahead to be planning, don't you think?" She sighs contentedly as she sways to music that only she and perhaps Alexa can hear. Or maybe it's some light filler music on the speakers. Whatever the source of the rhythem, Violet is completely oblivious to the sun setting in the mountains to the west. Alexa kisses Violet's forehead, smiling. "Well, I reckon if you agree to a third, you have to go on a second." Still swaying with her, she keeps her close, quiet for a moment. "And yes, I guess I am hopeful. I have my arms full o' hope. An' I don't rightly think I'm lettin' go anytime soon." Violet snuggles into Alexa's neck after her forehead is kissed. "It's... It's so wonderful to have a future to look forward to, instead of a past I'm trying desperately to remember and grasp for... So yeah. There'll definitely be a second date, and probably a third, and a fourth...." She then frowns, though likely unseen by Alexa. "Ugh... They probably won't let us be on the same ship, now that I think about it. Probably some rule about not dating a subordinate or something." Alexa chuckles a little. "Maybe they could hire me as a private contractor or somethin'. That way I don't get you in trouble." She brushes some stray hair away from Violet's eyes, then gently runs her finger down her cheek. "That's the last thing I want. Though if I do end up on a different ship, be damn sure you're gettin' messages from me every day. Even if it's just to tell you you're beautiful." Violet sighs happily at the finger trailed down her cheek. "We'll figure something out. Unless the fleet's on alert, we can get a lot of free time.... I had enough free time in the past to also have a part time job on the side, so I'm sure we can squeeze plenty of time together even if we're on different ships." She opens her eyes again, glancing up towards Alexa's, though the view is blocked by her cheek. "If I have to get a message from you every day, then I'm gonna force the same thing on you." Yeah, she almost makes that sound like a bad thing, but she's clearly looking forward to it at this point. "But for now..." She trails off. For now, she's right where she wants to be. Alexa kisses her forehead again. "For now, we have all the time in the world, darlin'. And I'll see you as often as you want." She smiles. "Thanks again for helpin' a broke smuggler at a bar." She blinks as she realizes.. the nervousness has gone, and has been replaced with happiness. | |
