“ I prefer to live in a life filled with no regrets. It’ll help me sleep a little easier at night but I guess that’s what makes all of us individuals different right. Makes us interesting by how we prefer one thing where one person won’t prefer that one thing. Keeps us engaged at times.” Jason was beginning to get a certain picture attributed to she was as a person which sparked curiousity getting the notion she was someone who did not live a normal life but was more on the spectacular & fun side, maybe she was seeking an adventure or a sense of exploration. It was hard to narrow down what it is that Helen was entirely but so far she was an enigma & Jason wanted to solve the riddle even if it were to take the whole night. Not minding if it were to preoccupy his mind as he had no intention to head back to his small apartment, to drink & get drunk enough to fall asleep as it was always a struggle with Jason when it came to trying to have a goodnight’s sleep as he was burdened & bothered with haunting nightmares which always mostly woke him up at night covered in cold sweat. Eyes would warmly stray off to the side becoming slowly dazed & entranced deep with in his own thoughts as the conversations that were taking place in the bar slowly drowned out. Almost missing out on Helene’s own words. Quickly fleeting his gaze towards her own eyes as eyebrows perked up inching his face in closer as he was alarmed by her laugh not knowing if she truly was pretending to play the fool or perhaps she was trying to tease him.
“ I probably made the wrong assumption when I said you might be playing the fool. People in this city are always hiding something, most are good at putting up a facade & have their good reasons to do so but I would like to know the real you, Helene even if it might be dangerous for the two of us.” Jason clearly stated what he believed to be the truth as it would be a big overall risk if the two were to know about each other’s secrets. Jason was a dangerous individual capable of disappearing & appearing when crime were to occur to only stop it swiftly from taking place as his actions & methods were brutal & savage much like his rage & anger which were currently caged behind his affectionate interests towards Helene. Perking his chiselled smooth chin up as brown hues became lit up. A small smirk would slip over his lips as cheeks would blush a rosey shad of pink. Drawing in a shakey breath as tension was becoming overwhelming high yet it was not attributed to hostility but the type where flirtation & seduction would end up winding people in a dark room on a comfy bed together.” Spontaniety can sometimes get you hurt or worse. When I was younger I relied on instinct & I ended up in a bad place I could wake up from. I am not saying I play by the numbers or even safe but I always try to analyse a situation before making a choice. Now, I know you’re dangerous but I can’t help myself being drawn tosomeone like you. It would be foolish if we were to be alone together but a risk I am willing to take.” Sucking on the side of his bottom lip, swallowing thickly as he was putting everything on the line to simply get the two ofthem alone in a private place with his gaze not straying or wavering away from her exhuberant charming eyes.” You make things grow?” He queried in a puzzled tone & chuckled.” You’re a botanist?” Asking out curiousity, eyes would then dart down to her hand being removed from his fingers as Jaosn would ultimately do the same, retracting his hand away to delve down beneath the table & rest on his thigh. Jason would take it as the first sign of rejection yet he would hardly see his feelings hurt or damaged by it.” I just did - surprised you that is. I took a risk to hold your hand & now I regret it by doing so. Now on the subject of surprising you I am not sure if I can but I’ll try. I recently came back to Gotham a year ago & I’ve been going after a few bad people, the kind that aren’t polite but would be willing to put our heads on a stake if they got the chance to do so. So far my journey has lead me to this bar. I managed to find one of these bad people & I’ve already dealt with him. Right now I am just tryig to relax & enjoy my drink.”Â
“I love the differences. The contrast. What you said... the individuals. Sometimes, when you search these differences, you find true gems, people you really want to know.” And Hélene trusted in her instinct. Something told to her she found someone who she could maintain a conversation, someone really different to her. Not an opposite, but someone who saw life so different than her. She loved when these kind of things happened, because she knew she had an unique opportunity and she had in mind not let it go. And in that game, she could feel he was a little lost. Maybe she needed show herself more tender, stop to send mixed messages. Something on her advised maybe he was not understanding she was having a good time, she really wanted be there. She was not a fool, and she didn’t want to annoy him. But be direct all the time was something what killed the hunt emotion. Well, the last what she wanted was lose him from her eyes.
Hélene played with her fingers in the verge of the glass, listening every word. Danger. She thought if she was dangerous. Maybe. Of course, that other part of her life, her other work, made her a little dangerous because she knew few secrets of exactly what people likes. But she never saw himself as someone who put other in danger. Who was Jason? Because he used the word with security. Who was the dangerous in the table? “I like it. I like to know you. I like you know me.” And she was surprised he affirmed she was dangerous when she was not even sure, but what she liked more was the surprised was welcomed. She was losing herself slowly in his eyes, in his lips, in his words. “I am not telling we just don’t think. That is stupid. But part of be spontaneous is believe in what your instinct tells to you. And my instinct tells me I need to accept your invitation and move the conversation to a private place as you suggested.” Well, Hélene tried to not let Jason have a second thought about her.
She smiled. “See? Is easy. Yes, I am a botanist, I have a vivarium.” Jason took the easy part of her life. Because, when she was talking about make things grow, she was thinking also in passion, she makes the passion grow. But that wasn’t easy to explain. Hélene was silent listening his explanation, so... for that was the agitation. Bad people. Who was good or bad. But he told something more interesting: new. New in town. New in everything. She was silent, for a moment, creating the tension she wanted. Hélene slid slowly her hand and took his, feeling with the fingertips the soft of his skin. “No regrets. At least not today.” She said maintaining her hand on his. “So, that is what you do? Deal with bad people?”
