Glancing over to her, he chuckled. "You look great." He said with a nod. And she did. The car fit her better than it fit him. Which was slightly sad, but he liked it for her. She seemed really, really happy. "You gonna drive?" He asked, silently wondering if she drove stick or not. Oh well, time to find out. The mention of the beach, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but shrugged in response to her inquiry.

"Sure, we can hit up the beach. Long as I get some ice cold beer, I'm happy." Devon told her, before buckling his seatbelt and moving the passenger seat back some. "So, stop by a convenient store or something so I can get beer...do you want anything?"

ooc: np. <_< i love these two. D:

All Ana could do was shake her head, she couldn't even stop smiling when he requested they went and got beer. It was funny to her, how she could be so attracted to someone totally the opposite of her. Maybe it's time for a change, Ana.. she thought to herself and bit her bottom lip while she thought. Realizing she never gave him an answer. "Yeah definitely, no problem," she said, a laugh slipping out also as she did. She rested her foot on the clutch. It had been a while since she drove a stick but she was sure it'd be easy to get the hang of again. Turning on the car, she smiled as the engine roared to life. She could get used to having a car with power, in comparison to her little bug she was driving.

It was a tad rough at first, the clutch was really hard to get used to, but after about five minutes of her constantly apologizing to Dev and laughing at her own stupidity she finally was coasting smoothly. Turning to look at him, she laughed and again, apologized. "I'm so sorry, it's been years since I drove a stick. Ironically it was in San Francisco.. I almost rolled backwards into a cop car once," laughing louder as she recalled the memory. Good times.

About a block away from the hotel there was a tiny convenience store that had several neon lights advertising the types of beer they sold inside. She figured that'd be perfect for him as she pulled into the driveway and safely parked the car. Getting out, she handed the keys back to him with a smile. "How 'bout you drive from now on, at least till we get back to Vegas," she suggested as she walked beside him into the store. She stayed quiet as he bought what he needed and they headed back to the hotel.

Opening her suitcase, she pulled out two bikinis. One black with white polka dots, and one that was solid black. Looking over the two, she called him in and pointed at them, "polka dots or no?"

ooc. Hahaha, me tooo xD

Devon chuckled every time the car would jerk. It was cute, but she got the hang of it, thankfully. He felt like he was about to get whiplash. "Don't worry about it, Ana. The clutch is brand new, so it's pretty rough....but really? A cop car? That would've been terrible!" Talk about a huge fine.....Once they were at the convenient store, and Ana had parked, he took the keys from her with a small laugh, "Yeah, sure that's fine." Devon said, following her inside the convenient store and buying a six pack of Budweiser, then walking back out to the Corvette, climbing in and starting it up.

Once at the hotel, Devon quickly change into his black swim trunks, and walked into the bedroom when Ana called him in. "Uhm, I dunno. You'd match me if you wore the non-polka dot," He said with a grin. Devon knew he should just ask her out, but, that was something he was going to procrastinate on. Or maybe just ask her out on the beach....would that be weird? Nah. Grabbing a beer out of the case, he popped the cap off and took a drink before plopping down on the couch and waiting for Ana to change.

At least she was adorable, which made Devon not mind waiting on her.

She continued to stare at the bathing suits until she felt Devon's presence beside her. Looking up she tried her best to control her cheeks from flushing when she saw him. He was so perfect, and she had yet to find a major flaw. That's what scared her the most about him.. Her last love interest had the infidelity flaw and it crushed her soul. Was she really ready to let go of the past and move on? With the way Dev made her feel, she wanted to say yes but there was always that 'what if' thought in the back of her head. It was becoming more and more quiet though with the time they'd been spending together.

The matching thing would be cute, she was surprised he actually suggested it and she smiled, nodding. "Yeah, solid black it is," she said and waited for him to leave before changing into the bikini and wearing a loose white dress to cover it. Looking in the full length mirror, she turned around to get a 360 look and nodded in approval, the black didn't show through at all. She then put on flip flops and walked out of the room to see Dev waiting for her. Wow, the height difference between them was even more apparent when she walked out without her heels on.

Looking up at him, she laughed and commented, "you're probably the only person at Winchester to see me without heels on. You should feel lucky." Before she headed out of the hotel, turning to look over her shoulder as he followed her out and through the hallway. "We driving or walking?" she asked, looking at the beer in his hand.

Devon looked up as she walked out and stood, smiling down at her. Phew, she was really short. But, that was beyond adorable. "Think so?" He asked, pulling on his black Ramones shirt, he took another drink of his beer before giving her a 'no way' look. "....ha, I feel more than lucky." He said, winking at her. She was way too adorable. Following her towards the door, he grabbed the case of beer before looking at her. "Hmm, we can drive, but, you gotta do it."

Not that one beer would really show up on a breathalyzer, but no harm if Ana drove her new car.....Slipping on a pair of his Vans, he opened the hotel door, looking over to her. "After you," He said, following after her once she walked out and down the hallway to the elevator. Pushing the down button, he took another drink of his beer. "I feel like an alcoholic, but there's nothing better than a cold beer and sitting on the beach in California with a beautiful girl."

Ana smiled and took his free hand in hers and twined their fingers together as he called her beautiful. All people ever really called her was 'cute' or 'adorable,' never 'hot' or 'beautiful.' It made her heart flutter, there was no denying that. "I may not know a whole lot about you, but I could tell you're not an alcoholic," she commented. It was true, too. Her ex best friend Karina was an alcoholic so she could tell the difference with ease.

Driving to the beach was a breeze, she had really gotten used to it and before they knew it they were at the beach. The second she got out of the car the wind blew in her face and she inhaled deeply. She loved everything about the ocean, the smell, the sound of the waves crashing on the sand, and even how cold it is actually. It was always refreshing in the warm weather. Placing her flip flops back on, she linked arms with Dev and practically drug him up onto the beach.

Pulling the towel out of her bag, she placed it down on the sand and pulled her dress off. Placing that in her bag she laid on her stomach on the towel, waiting for Dev to join her down on the sand.

"I'm going to relax for a second, then go into the water. You better come in with me," she said with a smile as she looked up into his eyes.

"That's good, I'm really not. I just feel like one. I usually try not to drink a whole lot." Smoking was another story. Following her out to the car, he got in and yawned, staying quiet as she drove to the beach. Once there, he got out and smiled, wishing it was an option to live on the beach. It would be so amazing. Being able to walk out of the back door and see the beach, and hear the ocean. Ah. It'd be amazing. Taking the last drink out of first bottle, he threw it in the recycling bin before following her out to the beach.

Setting out his beach towel, he sat down next to Ana, rolling his eyes playfully. "That water is cold as hell, but sure, I don't mind." He told her, staring out at the waves. Ah, surfing sounded so awesome, minus the fact he had no board with him. "Have you ever surfed?" He asked, glancing over to her. She was his dream girl, for the most part. But moving too fast was never a good idea. But, a date wouldn't hurt, he hoped..

"So, it may be kinda soon, but.....would you go out with me?"

Laying there for a second in silence, she closed her eyes and just listened to the ocean. Everything about it was magnificent. Without the beach she doesn't know how she would've survived high school. It was seriously the one place she could go and not have to worry about acting a certain way. Same thing applied now, and she felt comfortable being herself around Dev which was odd, she never really felt that way about people. Sure she was nice, but always twice as cautious as she was nice.

When he asked her if she surfed, she shook her head that was hidden in her arm before turning her head to look back up at him and clarified, "I skim board. The waves in San Francisco were never big enough to surf." Laughing, she remembered the first time she tred skim boarding and faceplanted in front of a group of hot guys that, of course, Karina had wraped around her fingers. Rolling over and laying on her back, she kept her eyes closed and laughed, "the water isn't even that cold. You're just a sissy," and squinted her eyes open with a smirk before sitting up.

Then out of nowhere, Dev had asked her out. Her eyes went wide and she looked at him in shock. All of her wanted to say yes and just throw herself onto him, but she had to warn him. She couldn't help but laugh as she did, though, "I'll have to warn you, I'm not a good girlfriend." Smiling, she shrugged and kissed his cheek, "but if you're willing to take a risk, I'd love to."

"Same thing I guess," Devon said with a shrug. "Maybe we can go to Florida or something where the waves are nice," He offered. It had been so long since he had surfed, he wasn't really sure how it was going to go. But who cared? It was fun. Even wiping out was great on occasion. Narrowing his eyes at her when she called him a sissy, he shook his head."It's the coldest of all the oceans," He said, then thought about it. "But okay, maybe I am a sissy!" If she only knew, he thought. Though, if some cold water bothered him, maybe he was kinda a sissy..

Shrugging at her statement of not being a good girlfriend, he chuckled. "Well, I'm not a very good boyfriend, but....I'm sure we can work something out, so yeah, risk taken!" He said, blushing slightly at the kiss. "Does this mean I can take you to dinner and pay without you feeling bad, now?" Devon asked, grinning. "That's what boyfriends do, right?" He teased. Long as she didn't mind him never being around at night, this was going to work just fine...

"Then we could go to Disney WORLD!" she exclaimed with a laugh, sitting up straight and crossing her legs as she looked out at the ocean. She had never been to Florida, but she believed him when he sad the waves were better there. California had a few nice beaches to surf at, but not as many as people might have thought. It was disappointing, actually. But she did love herself some skim boarding. "I'd love to see you try and skim board and still tell me it's the same thing," she challenged him and smiled up at him, wondering what his reaction would be to that.

Shrugging when he admitted to not being the perfect boyfriend, she added on, "then again nobody's perfect. You just have to learn to like someone for their flaws also." When he started to blush, she couldn't help but giggle with a wide smile plastered on her face. Who knew it was even possible for Dev to blush! Especially at her touch. That made her feel... Special. Then again she was special in a way. She was his girlfriend.

Her jaw dropped when he mentioned paying for her at dinner without freaking out and she laughed, holding up an index finger and smiling, "no promises on that. I'm sneaky. You'll have to beat me at paying." Resting her head on his shoulder, she let out a soft sigh and relaxed for a moment before getting up and staring down at him. "Okay, sissy boyfriend," she paused to point at the ocean, "lets go!"

Devon chuckled. "We could, yes...Disney...WORLD!" He agreed, putting the emphasis on WORLD just like she did. He thought she was just too cute. "I will, it isn't like the exact same, but it's close...." He mumbled, making a face at her. Surfing was harder, in his opinion, but usually what looked simpler was what was hardest. "Yeah, my last girlfriend expected me to be perfect. It didn't last long, she cheated on me twice before I gave up."

It was stupid, and rude of her, but whatever. She still tried to get him to come back to QC, but she was most of the reason he left Quebec. "You are sneaky," He agreed with a nod. "you should at least give me the satisfaction of paying sometimes. It's what boyfriends do for their girlfriend, Ana!" Sorta .... most of the time. Good boyfriends, at least. Making a face, he sighed unhappily and looked to her, shaking his head.

"Ugh, only if I have too." Devon said, getting up and staring out at the ocean. He felt a shiver go down his spine just thinking about it. "Okay, okay, let's get this over with!"

ooc; have fun at disney!

Ana smiled and tucked her red velvet hair behind her ear, letting out a laugh when he used the same emphasis as she did. She wasn't sure if he was making fun of her or not, but it didn't seem like it. When he started telling her about his ex, she felt a twinge in her heart and looked up into his eyes with sadness and understanding. "That's terrible," she said with a sigh, looking out to the ocean reminiscing on her life in San Francisco before she fled to Vegas. "I know how it is though, my ex was the same way," she said, telling someone for the first time ever why she really left Vegas. Letting out another sigh, she looked back up at him and shrugged her shoulders, "and it just so happened to be my best friend he cheated on me with."

She decided to ignore the comment about him paying and instead waited for him to get up, and once he did she was like a heat seeking missile to the ocean before skidding to a halt. Tensing up, she felt the cold water hit her toes and she let out a silent scream before turning around looking at Dev with a smile, trying to look confident.
