Expected Coincidence (Rebecca)

[Carlos]

The night life In Hircine was not that disimilar to the night life in Varron, though I missed Varron a bit more because I knew it better. But it didn't really bother me to get to know Hircine a little better...

"Good thing I have my whip (car), otherwise I would be losing my mind a tad bit more."

I thought as I drove down main streets and side streets, while at the same time trying to spot any places that would arouse my interest, but after one hour of looking in car, I gave up and decided to try on foot. At the next light I looked over to the streets signs, which read...14 ave and 116th st...

"Might as well park and start to walking."

When the light turned green I turn left and coasted my car slowly to a parking spot I saw from the light, I parallel parked adjacent to the curb and got out of my car with my gloves, hoody, jacket and pajama pants under regular pants to keep myself mostly warm. I shut the door of my car and engaged the alarm, which locked down the car.

Walking onto the sidewalk I reached into the front pouch on my jacket and pulled out a black cotton scarf, I place it against my mouth and wrapped it around my head covering my ears and nose. Reaching into right pants pocket I pulled out my I-Pod video and turned it on, I put my right earphone into my ear under the scarf and I tucked the other one into my jacket, having finished my preparations for walking I went off, down the block of 116th st. un-suspecting of anything or anyone.

As I crossed the street I looked dead ahead of me and I saw a small lounge with people actually waiting on the outside of it, as I neared I looked over the faces of the people there, noticing no one I shrugged and walked past casually, hearing some girls let out small giggles as I walked past, seeing a couple of them in my peripheral vision I managed to catch some of the words they uttered on the frigid evening air...

Girl: "That guy has such nice and not to mention a nice ass."

I simply grinned under my scarf and continued to walk dead ahead. As I crossed on to 16th ave and 116th st, I saw a small corner bodega (deli/corner store) and I walked inside, looking around at the small amount of people inside no one that I could see really stood out amongst them, which allowed me to buy what I wanted without any distraction. Walking over to the middle isle of the store where the chips and sodas were, I looked at the wall of chips and grabbed a bag of Nacho cheese Doritos, looking over the wall once again, nothing else peaked my interest so I began turning and moving forward to walk to the register, when a girl who was looking to the left nearly walked into me, I side stepped to the left since the wall of chips was blocking my right, but it seemed that my foot lagged behind me and got caught on her foot, which caused her to begin to fall. Since I noticed her lose of balance in time, I retracted my step and caught her with my arms around her back and her face in my chest.

Looking down at the top of the girl's head I noticed her blond her and her mildly dark skin tone, as she lifted her face from my chest, I examined each feature that followed which in I concluded that the girl was very cute and she looked Hispanic, well the only way I could find out was by asking her, and the only way for that to happen would be for me to introduce myself to her, as soon as she got her footing, I smiled at her and offered her my hand saying…

“Hi…Names Carlos. Pleased to meet you, oh and no worries.”

6:30...

it was still an hour before Rebecca would usually wake up. But she could not sleep. It was school the next day. Only knowing two people there, her old school friend Sedrix, and her new neighbour Dante, she was a little nervous. She lay in bed, lying on her front, her nightie had slipped down a little in her restlessness. She rose onto her knees, and pulled the shoulders back up, then got out of bed.

"I can't sleep anyway" She thought. She stretched her back out, then made her way steadily towards the cubboard, extracting a dark red shirt, jeans, and some lingerie. She got changed without haste, even though she could not sleep, she was still tired. 'Typical' she thought, as she buttoned up her shirt. She gave her long blonde hair a quick brush before heading down the stairs for some food.

The living room was dark in her apartment. She flicked on the lights, and faded them in slowly. Her eyes were not used to it as it was dark in her bedroom. She had to close her eyes slightly, before moving into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she realised something. "I forgot to do some shopping yesterday." She was to tired to worry at this time, but needed to get some food.

She waited about an hour until she headed out the door. Quietly passing Dante's as not to wake anyone, it was 7:30, but it was also a sunday. She got to the bottom of the elevator, and headed off to the shops. The streets seemed pleasant enough at this time. It was clean, sunny, and not too crowded. "Finally, a shop" she thought as she passed a small corner shop. ' This should do...' she thought, ' at least until i can find a supermarket or something.'

The shop was not crowded, as expected, what was not expected is as she turned the corner she accidently tripped on an approaching young man. She began to loose balance as they each went the same direction to avoid eachother. Thankfully, the boy was strong enough to keep her dainty body up.

"I'm sorry!" Rebecca said, pushing off his cheast, and getting back on her feet. She look at the boy, from head to toe, and found she was looking at an attractive man...

"...I'm Rebecca Eve" she said, shaking his hand softly.

[Carlos]

"It's a pleasure señorita."

I shook her hand with minimal firmness, then I gripped the bottom of her fingers bowing my head a bit and rasing her hand to my lips I kissed her hand gently. Then I rasied my head up with her hand still in mine, I smiled playfully and laughed a bit. Letting her hand go I examined her face and her features, taking in her figure and stature, her skin tone and her amazing blue eyes. As I examined her I noticed that she was also young, actually she looked about my age, so i decided to ask her if she went to Hircine, and I thought to myself (What better way to get to know a cute girl.)...

"Hey Rebecca? Do you go To Hircine high?"

I asked in a casual tone while still looking at her. She didn't seem to be american, she seemed americanized but not american. Still examining her while I waited for her to answer, I began to pick out places in my head of where she seemed to me that she could be from. Her skin tone and figure suggested some where mediterrainian, but her eyes and hair suggested some where more inland...(Maybe shes both, maybe her parents are from different parts of Europe) I thought, (Fuck it, I'll ask her)...

"I wanna ask you something else if you don't mind. What is your heritage?"

I was almost certain I had it, but I would rather she told me to be 100% sure that I was right or wrong. As I waited for her to answer, I began to look around the store a bit more and I saw the clerk staring at me and her, so I just gave him a cold hard look and he turned his head immediately. Looking back at Rebecca I smiled at her once again and stood there waiting for her to answer my questions, at the same time I was thinking if I should buy anything else, (hmm...Should I buy a forty ounce or not? Meh, whatever, I'll think about this later.....Maybe I should get a philly or some cigartte papers? God damnit, why am I still thinking? *sigh* ....Screw it.).

[rebecca]

Rebecca giggled at his formal, yet charming introduction. She smiled broadly at him, thinking about what a nice person he seemed, even though it had only been a couple of minutes. To return the favor, Rebecca approached, and said "Is that your way of shaking hands, i'll show you mine!" She came right up to him, and gave him a hig around the waist, then retracted after a short time.

"Hugs run in my family." She said, smiling, and giggling. Although this boy seemed good natured, she could not do to much, she was already seeing Dante Williams, so she had to avoid anything serious. 'It's just a hug, no worries girl!' she told herself. It was only after these thoughts she realised Carlos, or so he introdiced himself as, had asked her a question.

"Do you go to Hiricine?" Said Carlos, in a casual tone.
"I am a transfer, but not from Varron, as so many seem to be, i start tomorow." She said, now becoming more formal, and less silly.

She smiled at him, and joined the line, with just a pint of milk, and some cereal. She had left her purse at home, so this should do for now. Carlos continued to look back at her, seeming to try and percieve something... This was interpreted.

"I wanna ask you something else if you don't mind. What is your heritage?" He said, in a more than polite way.
"A bit daft really, i am mostly Spanish, my Mother was spanish, and i was raised there, but my father was born in a small island of the coast of Brazil." It was a bizzare heritage indeed, but it yeilded some aesthetic advantages.

"What about you?"

[Carlos]

As I stood in-front of her waiting for her to either answer me or blow me off, she spoke to me and began to answer my questions, by giggling when I kissed her hand, and remarking to what I did, then she hugged me and I put my arms around her waist out of reflex thinking, (Yep shes definitely what I thought she was, but I gotta be sure.). As she let go I did the same and I listened to her as she answered my first question, saying that she was new to Hircine and she started tomorrow, she also mentioned that she wasn't from Varron either, I simply nodded and smiled back as we walked over to the line from where we were standing. Then I heard her speak, answering my second question saying that she was Spanish and I immediately thought (I Knew I was right.), then she mentioned something else, (Shes brazilian too.......)

And immediately, I lost control of my brain and suddenly I felt my mouth moving and the words I was thinking came out

"....You can tell, With that body and that face, I can see the advantages you mean."

Then hearing her ask me what I was snapped me back into reality and I regained control of my body and realizing what I said, all I could do was think (Ohhoh Shit.) and laugh as I answered her question...

"Me...I'm Colombian, 100%. My dad was Colombian and my Mom is Colombian, guess that yielded some advantages as well."

I laughed a little bit as I spoke, then I decided to ask her a few more questions. Her and I seemed to hit it off very well so I thought (Why not ask her more.). Thinking quickly I thought of a good question to her, but as I was about to speak I was up to the line. I looked down to my hands and saw I only had a bag of Doritos, so I reached into my pocket and took out two dollars and I asked the clerk....

"Lemme get a large pack of Big Bambu."

As he turned around, grabbed it and turned back and gave it to me, I laid the two dollars on the counter and I took the Doritos and the papers from his hand. Then I moved to the side and I looked back to Rebecca, extended my right hand and bowed to signify that she could go, adding a bit of silliness I said...

"My Lady."

Laughed a bit I stood up straight and looked over to Rebecca again, while she approached the counter I remembered what I wanted to ask her, and I began to speak as she began to pay for her groceries, then looking over to me I spoke...

"Hey Rebecca. Do you live around here?"

[rebecca]

Rebecca again, couldn't hold a giggle at Carlos' silly, but polite nobility, it was quite affectionate, and Rebecca liked it. Her basket was full, a few biscuits, some tea, some assortments of food, bread, milk, fruit, it should do until a big shop at the supermarket, but it was sunday, who could be bothered?

"Me...I'm Colombian, 100%. My dad was Colombian and my Mom is Colombian, guess that yielded some advantages as well." Rebecca was like Carlos, she liked to brag every now and then, about mostly insignificant things, but everything she does brag about is true, and this certainly is. Carlos was cute, tall, dark, and handsome.

Even though all this class, pleasing appearance, kindness, bubblyness, Rebecca was not too attracted to him. An anormality as well, she knew she would normally like him a lot, but she was seeing Dante Williams now. Besides, his actions may not be looking for a relationship, i mean, a guy like this probably already has a gal...

Rebecca started laying various items from her basket on the counter, the clerk giving her a smile, and continued proffessionally. She loaded all paid items, and retrieved her purse, clicking it open daintily, and handing him a couple of tens. The change jingeled, Rebecca being a bit anal, and making sure she had the right change. It was right, so she smiled, apologetically at the clerk.

She turned at Carlos, and faced a question, "Hey Rebecca. Do you live around here?"

"Yeah, in an apartment building, you might have heard of it, SFL Housing??"
