Perhaps you just chose the wrong time and place.

[He raises a brow, try it at home and see what happens.]

[11calls]

We'll see.

[Alex can raise a brow too, Richard. And she's the one in the heels.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He's still taller, even with her in heels. Besides, do you REALLY want to see him in heels?

He starts to unbutton the coat she's wearing.]

We'll have our last meal in the apartment and then start moving. How far is it from the apartments?

[11calls]

[Alex is just going to look down at him unbuttoning the coat, and then raise her brow even further.]

Just what do you think you're doing?

[nobasisinfact]

Getting my coat.

[He finishes unbuttoning and moves to slide it off her shoulders.]

[11calls]

[Alex just looks up at him entirely amused for a moment before she leans forward and hooks her legs around his.]

My coat now. It definitely looks better on me.

[nobasisinfact]

But your coat wouldn't look good on me, and do you really want to leave this room looking like that?

[He'll ignore the leg hook and slide the coat off.]

[11calls]

But you could leave in your shirtsleeves. It' hot outside anyway.

[And she's just going to pout a bit.]

I swear sometimes you're impossible. I definitely would have had sex with myself on my desk if I showed up wearing this.

[nobasisinfact]

[He finishes pulling the coat off and tugs it from under her butt.]

It's a good thing you didn't, it would have been a mess.

[11calls]

[Alex just looks at him for a moment with a frown before she shakes her head.]

Okay. So one last dinner in the apartment and packing.

[nobasisinfact]

[He tugs at the lace over her stomach before letting it go.]

Yes.

[11calls]

I still can't believe your father's house is here. It's weird. I mean, my suitcase is there and everything, just sitting where I left it in the entryway.

[It was still weird to think about, actually, that she had shown up with an overly packed suitcase and plane tickets and was set to just give up her life. In some ways it was both the most brave and the most stupid thing she'd ever done.

Other than wear lingerie and a trench coat to his office and expect that he was going to be impressed.]

[nobasisinfact]

It would have been stranger if the house had unpacked it for you.

[That was actually a creepy thought.]

[11calls]

Oh god. I definitely do not want something that's not me going through my luggage.

[Alex is just going to visibly shudder for a minute.]

But it might have been worth it to see your response to some of the things I grabbed for you.

[nobasisinfact]

[His brows furrowed at the thought. If she was asking him to run away with her then why would she need to pack things for him? He could, should he have chosen to go with, packed for himself.]

Why did you pack for me?

[11calls]

Well, in case we were going to Brazil, I grabbed some things to make you less conspicuous. A sun hat, some shorts and a button down shirt. Just in case. I was trying to be prepared.

[Alex thought things through, Richard. Shouldn't you be glad?]

[nobasisinfact]

[Maybe, but instead, he just frowned. He wasn't wearing those.]

I would have sold them.

[11calls]

[Alex just rolls her eyes.]

The idea is hiding, Richard. Not going around and announcing our presence. Besides, they weren't like jeans or anything. I know you better than that. They were very... yuppie.

[Says the hipster.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He raises a brow.]

Yuppie?

[11calls]

What else am I supposed to call the man who can't walk home in shirtsleeves and know his lovely companion is wearing his suit jacket over very sexy lingerie?

[Come on, Dr. Strand. You're a yuppie.]

[nobasisinfact]

Conscious of the fact that my suit jacket covers very little.

[11calls]

But didn't think of the fact that I'd put my other coat over it, I see.

[Alex looks amused.]

This look isn't something for public consumption, my love.

[nobasisinfact]

And if you're wearing your coat, you don't need mine.

[11calls]

I think you're missing the point of me wearing your jacket, Richard.

[Alex is just going to keep looking amused while she shakes her head.]

[nobasisinfact]

Different variables can gain different result.
