Some time out ((Chase))

[Chase Connors]

Chase’s face fell as she pulled his hand away and told him she wouldn’t be just another notch on his bedpost. Damn…was that really what she thought of him? How much had she heard about his reputation? He ran his hand through his hair and frowned. ”That’s what you think?” Damn when had this got so serious?

Emily grabbed his shirt and whispered in his ear that there was no fun in making it easy for him, which at least meant he wasn’t completely out of hope. Her wink surprised him slightly and he smiled back at her.

Before he had time to respond she’d stepped away and slipped into her shoes. He glanced at his watch to check the time before realizing that he hadn’t even bothered putting a watch on that morning… he hadn’t for quite a number of mornings to be honest.

”Curfew?” He dared chance one last fling at his luck. ”Do I at least get a little good night kiss?” He let the words hang in the air between them. It was her call.

[Emily Prescott]

Emily frowned back at Chase, wondering why he sounded so offended. Was he really that surprised she knew of his reputation with girls? He shouldn't have been, so she didn't take it back. It wasn't like she meant to offend him at all she was simply stating the truth. As a woman or girl whatever, she wanted to be respected, she wanted to know someone before taking that kind of step with them, trusting them with that part of herself, so she'd make no apologies for making that fact known.

"Yes curfew...last thing I want is to get my first detention tonight..." she said, grimacing slightly. She'd never had a detention in her life and wasn't about to blemish the perfect record she'd earned herself in regards to attendance. Flicking her hair over her shoulder, Emily bent over to retrieve her bag before she straightened herself and turned to Chase with a small chuckle. The guy was persistent, she'd give him that.

At his request for a kiss she sighed and relented, crossing the distance between them she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on the corner of his lip. It was brief but a kiss nonetheless. "There we go, a good night kiss, now are you going to shake a leg and move or you staying here some more?" she asked him, taking a step away and creating the sensible amount of distance between them.

Perfect record… Jeeze… He wished! He’d had a few too many detentions over the years.

He watched as she picked her bag up, taking the opportunity to stare at her backside again, just for a few seconds before she chuckled and walked towards him.

Being completely honest, he’d expected her to stop close to him then say no. What he wasn’t expecting was the small kiss she placed at the corner of his lips, brushing them just enough to cause tingles of electricity along his nerve endings.

He hardly registered her words, just starting at the beautiful girl in front of him. It was only when she stepped away from him that he snapped back to his senses. He was about to lose the moment!

Without thinking or giving her a change to know what was going on, he closed the short distance between them, wrapped one hand around her waist and threaded the other through her hair, and pulled her mouth to his, stealing her for a proper kiss and hoping that she wouldn’t react too badly.

When they parted he smiled at her, ”Now that’s what I call a real goodnight kiss.”

[Emily Prescott]

Emily just looked at Chase and shook her head as she waited for him to reply to her previous question. Before she had the chance to ask him again or so much as just turn and leave, Chase had wrapped his arm around her again, whilst one hand went into her hair and he kissed her fully on the lips. Emily gasped against his lips, he'd caught her completely off guard, and all too soon he was pulling away, claiming that was what a goodnight's kiss was supposed to be.

Emily didn't move for a moment, instead she just stared at the boy in front of her, her fingers gently touching her lips which still tingled from the kiss. Finally though she pulled her gaze from his, and without saying a word, shook her head and turned on her heel, quickly making her way out of the tower. Running a hand through her hair, she started down the spiral staircase, her mind racing a thousand miles an hour.

A part of her wanted to admit to liking the kiss, but the other much louder part was demanding she go back and hex Chase right off the ledge of the tower. Shaking her head again, Emily continued her way down the stairs, eager to get back to her room and to bed. Hoping tonight's events didn't follow her into her dreams.

Chase watched as she raised a hand to her lips when he pulled away and he hoped to God’s that he’d at least get a smile from her.

Instead, she hurried out of the tower without even a good bye or goodnight.

Chase cursed softly and closed his eyes, threading his fingers through his own hair and gripping tight. Why the hell did he have to go and do that for!? He’d well and truly f*cked it up now, hadn’t he?

For several long minutes he did nothing but stare out over the grounds of Hogwarts, not moving or thinking. Eventually he shook his head and headed for the stairs himself. She’d had plenty of time to get away.

He tried to push the image of her out of his mind and not think about the feeling of his lips pressed to hers but he couldn’t. With a sigh, he made a silent promise to apologize to her the next time he saw her… if she would even talk to him that was.
