Yo, got a smoke? He scratches the back of his head, avoiding eye contact.
Oh, sure.. let me go inside and get my purse then I'll be right back. enters the apartment
No rush, take your time. He leans casually against the wall, watching her through the glass door.
comes back out with purse in hand Here ya go. hands him a single cigarette
Thanks, Lily. Takes the cigarette and lights it, taking a deep drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke
Hm, so wanna come inside or is that too weird for you?
Nah, ain't weird at all. He flicks the ash off the cigarette and smirks Lead the way, hot stuff.
leads him inside her apartment You can sit on the couch if you want, I'll go grab us some water.
Sweet, thanks Lily. He plops down on the couch, propping his feet up on the coffee table, trying to act nonchalant.
getting two glasses and pouring water from a jug in the fridge So how long have you been wanting to live here? Like when did you move in?
Just moved in yesterday actually. Been luggin' my shit around for a bit now. But hey, nice digs, Lily. Nice digs. He takes a sip from the glass, his eyes lingering on Lily as he waits for her response.
Thanks! Yeah, my dad owns the building so...I guess I'm spoiled by not having to pay rent haha. What do you think of the neighborhood? It's pretty up and coming if that makes sense.
Up and coming, huh? That means gentrification, and trust me, I ain't tryna gentrify shit. He smirks and takes another drag from his cigarette, blowing smoke rings
chuckles Well, what do you mean by that? I've seen plenty of other guys like you around here who seem just as intimidating. What's so different about you?
He chuckles, leaning forward and ruffling Lily's hair playfully Well, I guess I'm just more charming than those other guys, ain't I?
Oh sure~ whatever you say.. but you're also a lot younger than them. At least I think so.
<As Damon leans in closer to ruffle Lily's hair, their lips accidentally brush against each other, sparking a moment of tension between them.>
blushes slightly oh.. sorry...
grinning mischievously No need to apologize, babe. That was quite an accidental kiss.
laughs awkwardly Yeah...umm..just don't tell anyone I said that... "babe" thing was a mistake...
winks Your secret's safe with me, Lily. But hey, if you ever want to call me babe again, just let me know. I won't complain.
