Was he even human? An odd question conjuring up in her mind as she literally watched while the man brushed the coffee off as if it was nothing. Weird for sure, but Jess had a feeling from the moment she stepped into Everly that there were others even much more different than she was herself. Most kept to themselves about their lives or powers if they had any and she was all for doing the same. She skimmed her eyes over the features of the other. Wondering if she knew him from anywhere else. Nothing rang in the tired mind of her, but that didnât completely rule the thought out. Her ears fluttered a bit at his words, even a small chuckle released from her lips. âOh, Iâm sure I would remember that and the coffee would be the last thing you would have to worry about if so,â she joked with a shrug, but still had plenty of energy in her tone. âThat would be me chasing you down and never letting you hear the end of itâcan you tell itâs happened before?â She met his oceanic orbs with her deep brown ones. âNothing you did or said at all. I just put salt in my coffee like an idiot andâŚmy anger is apparently uncontrollable at times. Oh, well Iâm Jessica..and Iâve only been here a few months. Unless youâve lived in New York or London at some point then maybe you would know me. And you are?âÂ
âWow, okay, making note never to stand you up. Or go out with you because you might just kill me out of... reasons?â he asked with a shrug, a grin plastered over his face which said she had a lot of power over that âpretendâ relationship he was making up. He laughed along with her. âI canât see that happening really often, though, right? I mean, if someone goes out with someone like you, theyâre going to be sure and follow through and not get the earful of âhow dare youâ...â He unbuttoned his shirt and it parted, the tee shirt underneath clinging tightly to his flesh as two fingers gently pinched and pulled the material away from his skin. âSalt? Oh wow. I guess itâs a miracle you didnât spit on me then? Not that there arenât people into that, mind you,â he half laughed. He was nothing if not open. âIâm Ike, hey, nice to meet you...â he smiled, blue eyes meeting hers. âFancy way to bump into someone, Jessica, though I guess if you knocked me over on the way out, that might be a bigger story to tell people.âÂ
