7.8 - interruption, ftw?buticlosemyeyesJanuary 1 2012, 21:50:30 UTC
[This was a bad idea. A bad, bad idea. They no longer worked together, but he was a widower. And a friend. And it didn't matter if he was attractive. It was wrong to want to have him. And as soon as the countdown ended and people yelled for a happy new year, Anna stopped walking through Central Park and stood in front of J.D.]
[he can honestly say? He didn't see this coming. Having slipped into the city on a routine job, only to be caught and re-aqquainted with Anna again.. he expected to greet the New Year together for old time's sake... of course he did. Just not.. like this.
But, his hands lightly span her back, pressing gently. Not drawing back, but not encouraging. He wishes he could believe her words because, well.. no one has told him that and meant it fully. Because they didn't know him well, usually. She did.
Jase pressed softly to the kiss, brief. Then drew back, smiling slightly because this was Anna and he couldn't not. But it was... it didn't feel like he should -] Here's hopin'...
feel the cute. be the cute. love the cute! XDbuticlosemyeyesJanuary 1 2012, 22:12:31 UTC
[If anyone asked? She blamed it on the whole New Year's tradition of kissing and celebrating and... not seeing him in a while after his wife died. Yeah. It was the lost time. That was it.
Hell if she'd believe it for very long.]
It will get better. I promise.
[And there she went, smiling because she truly believed her words, even if she didn't know what he'd been doing with his life. It was a soft, loving kind of smile that warmed the hearts of the people on the receiving end of it, because she rarely let herself be this vulnerable and exposed.]
/embracing the cute, dammit, eee >33killsonthe_slyJanuary 1 2012, 22:16:06 UTC
[his hand lifts, as if of its own accord. Briefly pushing strands of her hair behind an ear. Just a small touch, but he's comfortable enough to, with her... Nods, smiling for her offered comfort if not himself] Thanks, Anna.
D'awwwwww so cute!buticlosemyeyesJanuary 1 2012, 22:25:41 UTC
Anytime, Jase. [That touch. It was so small to anyone who watched from the outside, but for him it spoke volumes. Anna turned her face into the touch, wanting it to linger for just a little longer, and she smiled softly at him.]
Yeah.. right. [and for reasons that he can't quite pinpoint enough to explain away.. he leans in to brush his lips to his friend's once more before wrapping his arm about her waist for brief hug. He meant his thanks.. and though their lives were different now, she was a pleasant reminder. Of who he had been, if nothing else] Happy New Year.
[There was something Anna was going to say to him. But it clearly wasn't very important because she forgot it the second he kissed her again. And she was compelled to hug him gently before slowly, and gently returning his kiss. Letting it linger.]

Happy New Year. This one will be better.
[Getting on her tiptoes, she kissed him slowly.]
