(Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that I am about to enter my last two weeks of my semester starting on monday! I probably wont be online to reply much because of the "project" weeks! I have a huge ongoing project that I have to do for that time! After all of that, though, I will be on summer break and should be able to start replying again! Thank you guys for being understanding! And I am so sorry that I might not be active these next couple weeks!)

As much as Nieve enjoyed dancing, last call came as a relief. Exhaustion could only be kept at bay for so long. She slowed and raised an eyebrow at Hannah, nodding her head to the side to ask if she wanted to leave now before the throng of people left all at once of if she'd like to stay for as long as she could.
( of course, thanks for the heads up ^^ good luck with your project! )

(I am back! thank you all for being so patient while I finish up this semester!)
Hannah nodded her head in agreement. She didn't feel her exhaustion hit until she had stepped off of the dance floor.

( of course ^^ school is a priority, I get that. )
Nieve mirrored the nod, reaching out to take Hannah's hand so that they weren't separated as they made their way through the throng of people and to the now empty booth, just in case Hannah had anything left to grab. The noise was still deafening, so she just raised an eyebrow and nodded to the space, hoping that Hannah would understand what she meant by it.

Hannah did understand and dropped Nieve's hand. She ducked into the booth to grab a thin sweater and her bag of things for the station. Once she had her things, she returned to Nieve's side. She confidently regrabbed the other girls hand once she was by her.

Nieve glanced down at her hand as Hannah took it again, surprised. It wasn't long until her wide eyes crinkled at the conrers and her mouth quirked into a little smile, and only a moment after that she headed towards the door, ready to leave the noise and crowd behind in favour of something more peaceful.

Hannah followed Nieve closely as they left the club. She was surprised how natural and easy it was for her to be around Nieve.
(That's okay Inky! Good luck!!)

]*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (Awesome! Here is a starter!) Mark had woken up early that morning to get ready for a busy day at work, he had meetings booked the whole day. His briefcase was already packed up and waiting by the door for when he was ready to leave. He had put on a suit and tie, like he did every morning. His tie today was a dark green with black stripes. After combing his hair, brushing his teeth, and eating a quick breakfast, Mark put on his shoes and headed out of his apartment door. He took the elevator to the first floor and exited the building onto the busy Chicago street. He began searching for a cab as he walked slowly towards work. It was a far walk, but he had learned that if he cleared some of the distance while looking for a cab, he could safe a few dollars. (Sorry my reply took to long it's midterm week at my college and I had a HUGE test to study for) Lyra shot up out of bed, she apparently had forgotten to set her alarm the night before. Now she has to rush or she would be late to work. Quickly she jumped in the shower just long enough to quickly wash her hair and body. She was young and just graduated but she had reccentlt moved out into a small studio apartment that was the perfect size for just her. Quickly she did her hair and some light makeup just to look presentable; and changed pulling her shoes on she as ran out the door. "Of course the first day of this week and it's already starting off bad." Locking the door she muttered to herself, "Now I gotta deal with mean customers and all that other stuff." Letting out a sigh he shook her head and raced out of the building. The young woman jogged a few blocks to save some money on cab fare and plus she enjoyed walking for a little bit, though maybe jogging was her best idea. She was wearing a light summery dress that was a pale blue with cute little white flower detailing. Lyra looked for a taxi when shortly one pulled up in front of her and the man standing not to far away from her. She glance at but said nothing a bit unsure to get in or let him have it.

Mark had only walked a few blocks before he was able to hail a cab. He was glancing around himself as the cab pulled up, calculating the cab fair he had saved and how much he still had to pay. It was then that he saw a young woman jogging his direction. Normally this wouldn't have caught his attention, people jog past him every morning, but this girl wasn't wearing "jogging" clothes. She was wearing a dress.
He tilted his head slightly as she came closer. "Do you need a cab?" He found himself calling out to her without thinking. Even though he had never offered to share a cab with anyone, kind gestures weren't out of the ordinary for him.

Mark stepped back from cab to allow her in first. He kept one hand on the door and a smile on his face. "Not a problem," he replied as she climbed into the back of the cab. He slid in next to her. "Where to?" He asked her.

Nieve walked aimlessly at first, but that didn't last long. "Do you have anywhere to be?" she asked. It was obviously an easy exit for the other girl, a way to get home and leave the night behind. She didn't want to make a proposition without giving her a way to turn it down without worrying about Nieve's feelings. Whether or not she could handle it was irrelevant. "I know this little food place around here, they make some mean fries," she continued. "Or there's grilled cheese and something to drink at mine if you'd rather."

Mark waved the cab driver forward at her words, signalling that was where they were heading. "This is perfect, I am heading a block over from there." He glanced at the girl. He noticed her nervousness immediately, but didnt know if he should say anything about it.

Hannah's smile reflected in her eyes. "I don't have anywhere to be until tomorrow." The words came out of her mouth effortlessly. By the time she realied what she had implied, they were already in the air. She looked away quickly, her face turning slightly pink.

Nieve looked over at Hannah, surprised to hear the implication leave her lips. She wasn't sure if she was relieved or disappointed when she noticed the blush on her cheeks and realisation on her face. "You're cute when you blush," she said, unashamed of the cliched comment. It was true, no? "I don't either," she said a moment later, giving Hannah another look. "Have anywhere to be, I mean."

She shoved it away as best she could and faked confidence. "I guess the night is still young then. Wherever you'd like to go."

Arc glanced toward the bus briefly, then back at her. "I wouldn't blame you if you said no, but are you sure you don't want a ride? It's gotta be quicker than a bus." He offered, smiling again. (Omg! Totally realized that I never replied!! Im so sorry!) Leah glance from him to the bus again before making up her mind. She shrugged in agreement and cleared the distance to the bike. Once she was next to him, she hesitated. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself to climb onto the bike.

(X3 it's all good, you were busy.)
Arc stood over the bike, holding it steady as she climbed on. He offered another smile and once she was seated and balanced, he sat back down. "I'm glad you'll give it another try. Do you want to stop at the corner store and get a quick snack?" He asked as he started up the bike again.

Leah put her hands on his shoulders, like she had last time, before replying. "Sure, if you want to." She spoke loud enough to be heard over the engine of the motorcycle. She didn't particularly care where they stopped on the way, as long as she got hom on time and in one peice.

He noticed her nervousness immediately, but didnt know if he should say anything about it. Her hands were folded in lap and she was look at her hands for s bit before she looked up at him and smiled. "Well did we both got pretty lucky then! I am glad I'm not too much a of burden to share a cab with." The curly haired girl laughed softly, if she had worked in the other side that would have been terrible. She would have felt so bad. But she got lucky and wouldn't have to feel bad since it was on the way.

"It wouldn't have been a burden at all!" Mark reassured her. Even if they had gone to the other side of town, it wasn't like he would be counted late. "So what do you do?" Mark asked her. "At work, I mean." He added as an afterthought.

"At work, I mean." He added as an afterthought. She smiled a bit glad that it wouldn't have been a burden either way. But Lyra was happier that it wasn't out of his way anyway. Her eyes moved from her hands which had finally stopped fidgeting to him, " Oh I am a bartender slash waitress right now... but soon I should be working as a college professor when this next semester starts up." The girl grinned happily, she had worked since sixteen when she graduated high school to get her masters in English and start teaching as soon as she could. It didn't look it but she was sharp. "I usually teach dance classes on the side but that's not today." She didn't know why he was telling him all of this but the words just kind of spilled out.

Mark's smile only grew as she continued to speak. He wouldn't have admitted it, but he was impressed with the girl. He hadn't pegged her as a professor. "You sure sound like a really hard worker." His words were sincere. He had never met someone so young with so much motivation.

"Psh!" Mark waved away her compliment. "I probably do the least amount of work at the office!" He knew deep down that he was being humble. Mark was a part of the management team at a large corporation, the highest rank before the owner. He was also very adamant about helping the people below him to complete their tasks if he could.
