Let&#x27;s Play Pretend

Well, you know. The usual.

Agreed!!!

He bent over to whisper right back into her ear: “hey, you can get whatever you want.” As the couple in front of them ordered, Vincent walked up and smiled politley at the teenage cashier. “Can I get a Vanilla Late Frap and a strawberry cheesecake, and whatever she’s having.” he said, nodding his head at Jodie.

Jodie shrugged a single shoulder and then smiled nicely to the cashier. "I'll have a Caramel Dolce Creme Frap, thank you." She said, her voice much more calm and settled than before.

He walked beside her, looking up at the menu now and then, and down at the little glass display case that held all sorts of cakes and treats. Vincent had quite the sweet tooth, and the strawberry cheescake was calling his name. “I’m gonna get the vanilla latte frappucino with a strawberry cheesecake. and don’t worry about it, it’s on me.” he smiled, bumping her shoulder with his own.

She looked up at him, tilting her head back more than she was supposed to. She nodded and then walked down the way so the people behind them could order. "Hey, just a warning, I'm gonna steal a bit of your cheesecake..." She whispered in his ear.

He didn't notice her blush, but his bottom lip was captured by his teeth when she brushed against him, unsure if it was accidental or not. Walking inside behind her, he pointed at the menu. "They have amazing fall flavored stuff, but my favorite is always the vanilla flavored things."

Jodie bounced a little, swinging her arms as she looked over the menu above. Ever so often she would tilt her head and then her eyes widened when she saw two words; "Pumpkin Spice." It was her favorite holiday flavor. But, knowing how much it made her... crazier than she is at the moment, she decided to go with Cinnamon Dolce Creme Frappuccino.

Jodie shrugged and looked back to Vincent. “Have your seen Warm Bodies? It’s a romance film with zombies.” She giggled softly, shrugging a single shoulder. “I’m the kind of person that watches romantic movies and then cries their eyes out.”

He laughed back and pointed to...

Jodie smiled as he opened the door and slide inside, accidentally brushing past him. Hey cheeks immediately flared, but they whitened just as quickly.

"Having to lacerate flesh and eat it? No thank you." Jodie made a queezy, disgusted face before turning back around to walk next to Vincent.

He chuckled and shook his head. “You have an odd way of thinking, you know that?” he smirked down at her. “I’m not one for Zombie movies though. I’m a hopless romantic actually… I like cheesy love movies.” he admitted, scratching his cheek.

Jodie shrugged and looked back to Vincent. "Have your seen Warm Bodies? It's a romance film with zombies." She giggled softly, shrugging a single shoulder. "I'm the kind of person that watches romantic movies and then cries their eyes out."

Jodie giggled and turned around to walk backwards in front of him. She looked up at him and grinned. “The only upside to that is that they don’t try and bite you.” Jodie joked, laughing at herself.

"well what if you were bitten? Maybe being a zombie is fun." he shrugged innocently. As he walked, he took long steps to keep steps in time with hers so that they matched.

"Having to lacerate flesh and eat it? No thank you." Jodie made a queezy, disgusted face before turning back around to walk next to Vincent.

She was pretty adorable, especially when she pouted, so his smiled widened with a laugh. Vincent placed his hands in his pockets, looking down beside him to the bouncing woman. “Yeah. Some of the kids in my gym and world cultures class are so dead it’s like working with zombies.” he chuckled.

Jodie giggled and turned around to walk backwards in front of him. She looked up at him and grinned. "The only upside to that is that they don't try and bite you." Jodie joked, laughing at herself.

Compared to him, there was a good height difference, so he had to actually look down to look at her. He noticed the cute little bounce in her step was gone, so he leaned in as they walked. “You know, most of the kids are gone, and it’s just us.. so you don’t have to be so stiff.” he muttered in a teasing fashion.

Jodie's face relaxed and she jumped around, twirling gracefully. When giggled and hopped beside him. "Yeah. People wonder why I act like this. They would too if they had to deal with some of the kids from here..." She mumbled with a pouty face.

He leaned against the door, smirking as she scrubbed her face from the crimson paint that marked her pale skin. By habit when waiting, he chewed on his cheek, though he didn’t mind waiting. Not at all. Once she was back, he stood up and smiled again. “Great! You know I know this great coffee place in town, it has the best coffee snacks, and it’s right near the park too.” he said, turning to walk next to her.

Jodie smiled kindly as she walked next to him and almost had a hop to her step. She tried her best to hide it, almost trying to look as professional as possible, although it wasn't working very well. She looked up at him and her smile brightened. "Great! Sounds like a wonderful plan."

Vincent waited patiently, hearing the pitter patter of shoes hopping around inside. He smirked to himself, looking down at his shoes, back up at the door, and then down once more. Once the door had swung open, he gave a bright smile, yet a warm giggle. "I think you've got something on your.." he pointed to his cheek.

Jodie kept her smile on her face, although inside she was freaking out that she had forgotten her cheek. She stepped back and then quickly walked over to the sink and started to attempt to scrub off the paint. Once it was finally done, she dried her face, threw away the towel, and walked back to Vincent. "Okay, now I'm ready."

Just as her last student walked out, Jodie slumped back into her chair, throwing her head back with a loss groan. She was covered in an assortment of paints and oil pastels on her shirt. She ran a hand down her face, which only led to a red streak down her face. When she...

Jodie jumped when she heard the knock on the door and then attempted to put on her shoes while she was standing. She hopped around for a moment and ran into the wall. Finally, she got her shoes on and skipped to the door and opened it up. "Hey!"

Walk in the Park | | Jodie & Vincent

Just as her last student walked out, Jodie slumped back into her chair, throwing her head back with a loss groan. She was covered in an assortment of paints and oil pastels on her shirt. She ran a hand down her face, which only led to a red streak down her face. When she looked back to her clock on the wall, her eyes widened and she jumped to get very. “Vincent is gonna be here soon!!” She screeched and ran to the sink where she scrubbed furiously at her hands and arms to wash of the paint, then pulled on her favorite dress.
