One of these days

Alec couldn't stop his own grin from forming on his face as Ryan approaches and he's pulled into her embrace. His arms automatically slip around her, one around her waist, the other over her back. He eyes her, a sly glint in his gaze.

Returning her kiss, he doesn't let go right away, just pulling her tight and enjoying the moment, ignoring the stares of the other guys in the shop. Alec wasn't so sure he'd ever admit it to anyone, but there was something about Ryan... she'd done something to him... something that no woman ever had... He had missed not seeing her the last couple days.

Finally pulling away, his smile returns and he gives her one last kiss on the lips, then one more on her forehead. "Well... I guess I'm lucky then that you'll take a break for me."

"You mean you two are actually gonna go to lunch?" Miles calls over to them. "Figured you'd just stand there and suck face all day long."

Alec doesn't miss a beat, cocking his head. "Mm.... it's tempting."

"No, please!" Ron waves his hands in the air. "Take it somewhere else!"

Alec chuckles. "Alright... but we might be a few minutes late getting back."

Miles smirks at them and is about to throw another comment, but he remembers something else. "Oh, Alec... Eli was here... forgot to tell Ryan too. He was looking for you. Might wanna call him or something."

"Oh... okay." Alec shrugs. He wasn't sure what Eli wanted, but he'd be happy to call him. "Thanks." His arm still around Ryan, he turns her towards the door. "We better get out of here before we don't have any time left." Winking at her, he aims for her car. "We also better take your wheels... I'm.... borrowing the car I got."


As Destiny asks about the salesman, Chance quirks an eyebrow. "You kidding me? What salesman is normal?" He shakes his head, keeping his eyes on the road as he grins. "This guy doesn't give up. He's selling a piece of land down in Arizona for a client of his. I showed some interest and bam... he's been after me ever since. Only way I can get him to shut up is to call him every now and then and let him send me specs he's put together."

Turning where he was supposed to, Chance doesn't miss a beat in directions or his conversation. "One of these days though, I'll have to tell him I'm not interested anymore. Can't afford it." He looks around at the buildings. "Did I turn at the right place?"
