Ripped Jeans, Skin Was Showing [anthony]

[PIXEL ANN CONNER]

Pixel was having an awesome birthday. She woke up, and first thing she did was open her computer and skype her mom and dad. They'd sent her a package, which she'd been dying to open since the day before when she'd picked up at the post office. When she ripped it open she found a kindle, with a bunch of e-books already on it, and a tin of homemade peanut butter cookies. Then her parents prayed for her, thanking God for the twenty-one years they'd had with her. Pixel cried, they cried, then it off to school for Pixie. Which was rather uneventful, but she enjoyed it anyway, because the people that knew her knew it was her birthday were kind and wished her happy birthday, and she kept getting texts from facebook from people posting happy birthday wall posts.

When she got home that afternoon she set right into getting ready. She hadn't seen Anthony yet that day, but he'd already told he was taking her out to eat somewhere nice, and since she figured the night would end at his place, she packed a small overnight bag before she hopped in the shower. Before she did her make up she put on some self tanner, the only way she got a tan, using something that would get her a little bit of color right now, and get a little darker by tomorrow morning. It wasn't bad enough that she would stain Anthony's sheets orange. Then she set about doing her make up, something that would just make her look put together. After applying a lip stick in a soft pink, and pomegranate flavored lip gloss, Pixel dusted all her visible skin, including her legs and back, with a light coat of some fine body shimmer. If you were looking for it, or moved and the light hit it, you could see it. She didn't look like a Cullen in the sun or anything.

She slipped on her dress and heels, and finished packing her overnight bag. She set it by the door so she could grab it before she left with Anthony. She put the things she'd need in a black clutch, then waited for Anthony, and he didn't take long. Then most exciting thing about him getting there was the fact that he brought her flowers. "Ohmygosh, they're so pretty." She snatched them out of his hands, thrusting her clutch and over night bag at him, then she ran to her kitchenette, and put the flowers in a vase. She skipped back over to him, kissing his cheek. "Now my dorm will smell pretty when I get home!" She stepped out of the door and closed it, grabbing her clutch and digging out her keys, locking the door behind her. Then they were off to the restaurant, and Pixel was so damn excited she couldn't think of anything to say, and she kept messing with the radio, kissing Anthony's cheek, having to reapply her lip gloss because of that, just bouncing up and down. Finally they were at the restaurant, after what felt like forever to Pixel. She could hardly contain herself as they walked from the car to the door, then from the door to her table. She ordered a water with lemon, and a glass of wine, then she was trying to focus on the menu, and failing. Finally she kicked off a shoe, and let her foot run up Anthony's leg. "Hey.. Thank you for bringing me here. You're a sweetheart." She smiled at him.

Anthony decided that he was going to take Pixel out for her birthday. He figured she'd be hungry and wanna go somewhere nice. And then he thought that they could go back to his place and hang out. Anthony wasn't dressed up in anything special. A dark blue button up shirt and a tie. His jeans had holes in the knees like most of his jeans did. He looked nice, it wasn't a three piece suit or anything but it was still dressed up for him. His hair was short and spikey.

He'd taken Pixel flowers. It was her birthday so why not right. Then it was off to the restaurant. He ordered just a plain water to go along with the wine for them. He silently looked over the menu trying to decide what he was going to eat, which wasn't going very well. But silent was the key word. He was going to do his best not to piss her off tonight. It was her birthday after all. No sense in him ruining it with his mouth and when he spoke he usually did just that. So it was best just to stay quiet. Then her foot was running up his leg and if she wasn't careful they wouldn't make it through dinner. "You're welcome"

Pixel smiled brightly at Anthony's words. He was being really sweet tonight, and she wasn't sure if it was because after their trip to the mall he was realizing she was more than a stripper, that she actually had feelings, that being a stripper was glamorous and there were reasons for the tears on her pillowcase. Not that Pixel had ever actually let Anthony see her cry, but that didn't change the fact that behind closed doors she was a hot mess. She didn't like letting Anthony come into her dorm because it was her place... she could go there and be honest with herself, that she hated what her life was becoming, that the reason she didn't have relationships anymore wasn't because they were distractions, it was because she didn't think anyone would actually want to date her, considering she was so.. lost. Plus she was pretty sure guys didn't find it sexy when their girlfriends stripped for any guy that stepped through the door.

Pixel blinked, realizing she'd zoned out for a moment, having stood her menu up open on the table, and hiding behind it. She slowly peek up over it, trying to suppress when she saw Anthony still sitting there, looking drop dead sexy in his button up and tie. She moved from her side of the table, and over to Anthony's, sitting in his lap. She dug her phone out of her purse, and tapped the screen a couple times, then she was holding it out, using the front camera so they could see themselves on the screen. She took a normal picture of them just sitting there, then she took on of her kissing his cheek, and then she kissed his lips passionately. After she snapped the picture she continued to kiss him for a few moments, then pulled away from the kiss. "This one will be your caller ID." Pixel said as she put the picture of her kissing his cheek as his photo. "And this one.." She clicked on the picture of them kissing. "Is now my new background, and the other one is be uploading to facebook." Pixel smiled and went over to her seat again, and while looking over her menu, her foot still ran up his leg, then back down. From ankle to a little past the knee and back. "I want the house salad.. and chocolate cake. But can we get the chocolate cake to come first?" Then Pixel smiled brightly. "Oh my gosh, can you get them to sing me happy birthday?!"

Anthony had been sitting studying the menu not even noticing that Pixel was hiding behind her menu. He couldn't really decide what he wanted to eat. Usually when he was hungry it was no problem for him to decide what he'd want to eat. Did that mean he wasn't hungry right now? No. He was definitely hungry. He just wasn't sure what sounded good here. He didn't eat at this place very often. So he didn't really know how the food was cooked and stuff. That made it hard for him to decide what to eat.

Then Pixel was in his lap, which pulled him out of his thoughts on what to eat. She was starting early. Then she was getting her camera out. He decided he could smile for her picture. He wasn't camera shy. Then she was kissing him on the cheek and he kept his smile but looked down some. Then her lips found his and his eyes shut while he kissed her back. Then she was setting their pictures as different things on her phone. Then she moved back to her seat. Her foot went back to rubbing up and down on his leg. He was trying so hard not to let that turn him on. "You can have what ever you'd like Pixel. Its your birthday." He smiled a little at her.

Pixel grinned at Anthony's response, and she looked down at her lap, where she had the picture of her and Anthony open. He was smiling.. Her heart did a little fluttering thing every time she saw that smile. She didn't know why, but every time she saw it she just thought that was the way Anthony's face was suppose to look like, and she wanted to be the one that made it look that way. Pixel forced herself to close the picture, and shoved all thoughts of how perfect Anthony's face happened to be out of her mind. He wasn't a boyfriend, he wasn't even someone she really liked, he was just a boy she was sleeping with. Nothing special, and she should consider his looks past "yeah, he's attractive, I guess," not "ohemgee, he's so hot I could die."

Pixel shoved her phone back into her purse, and flagged down the server, her foot only getting slightly slower on Anthony's leg as she talked to them. "Can I have a salad? And whatever special you guys have tonight. Also, can I get some chocolate cake before all that? It's my birthday." She spook to the waiter, looking delighted, then she turned her gaze over to Anthony. "What do you want, boo?" She said, not even caring she let a pet name escape, she was far too happy right now to get upset over something like that anyway.
