::she laid her napkin in her lap and ate, her manners were quite nice. She nods and smiles:: Oui... they make life enjoyable... Do you know anyone in town? Family or friends? ::she nods:: It was rough down here... things are just feeling as they should again.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:02:48 AM)
"My father was...murdered when I was still a kid, My mom is living in baton Rouge she re married, and his job was up there."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:04:32 AM)
::she frowns, watching him:: I'm sorry, James, about your papa. Do you like your step-father?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:05:26 AM)
"we get along well, he treats my mom correctly so no reason not to like him. What about your family?" he asked then ate some more of the gumbo.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:08:16 AM)
::she nods and smiles:: Well... my mother passed on a couple of years ago, cancer. ::she frowns a bit, and then shakes her head:: My father, he is in France, he is a French foreign diplomat...
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:10:08 AM)
"I am sorry about your mother, even now it is easy to tell how much you miss her."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:11:32 AM)
::she smiles softly:: Oui.. she was an amazing woman, and I was mostly raised by her. Papa was frequently out of country, on one thing or another. Sometimes we went, others, non.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:12:24 AM)
He gave her a nod. "Sounds like it was lonely at times."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:12:52 AM)
I was in school, or with my mother... I did not lack for friends growing up. ::she smiles:: I tend to make friends easily.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:14:18 AM)
"I can tell. I would bet it was the accent." he said teasingly.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:14:55 AM)
::she laughs and winks to him:: You know... I don't have an accent in Paris. Only here..
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:16:21 AM)
He grinned. "Well here then it is the accent. There....let us say your itellegence, or would you prefer something more superficiall?" he was teasing of course. he had no doubt about her intellegence or charm at this point.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:18:16 AM)
::she laughs:: All of the above, oui... ::she winked, obviously teasing, as she looked to him:: I can play to either angle... which would you like?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:20:12 AM)
he grinned. "Intellegent eye candy? that way I get all of the above?" he winked back at her.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:20:28 AM)
::she laughs:: Eye candy? I'm only in my work clothes...
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:21:06 AM)
I di say intellegent eye candy. and on you work clothing looks like you are ready for a gala."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:21:59 AM)
::she tilts her head:: Flattery will get you everywhere.. ::grinning, as she shakes her head:: Non, these are work clothes, you will know the difference when you see it...
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:22:50 AM)
He quircked an eyebrow. "Hmmm that sounds like something I should take you up on very very soon."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:25:09 AM)
::she raises a brow:: Oh? Oui?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:26:07 AM)
"Oui, indeed cherie." he gave her a rougish smile.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:27:15 AM)
::she laughs and then nods:: We'll see if you do then... ::finishing her gumbo, she pushes her dish aside and sips her wine, long fingers draping around the glass::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:29:25 AM)
He smiled. "Hmmm...so when you swim what do you like to wear?" he asked. It was just such a non sequester he was just trying to not be serious. He then took a drink of the wine, then set his empty bowl inside hers to make it easier for the waitress to carry away.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:29:48 AM)
::she laughs:: That depends on the location and what kind of activities I'll be doing near the water...
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:30:25 AM)
he chuckled. "Ok lets us say a beach in france adn you wanted to sun bathe with maybe a swim."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:30:56 AM)
I have a few bikinis to pick from...
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:31:42 AM)
"Ah so bikinis is it." he said with a wink and a chuckle droping the non senscial subject.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:31:44 AM)
::she said 'a few' ... as though it may possibly have been more than tht::
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:31:59 AM)
::she raises a brow:: Oh? Why are we discussing beach wear?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:32:19 AM)
"But I do hear hesitation with the word a few. Ok...I was just getting an image in my minds eye is all."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:33:16 AM)
::she raises a brow, and smiles:: You are picturing me in your mind's eye in a bikini... when I'm sitting in front of you already? Aren't those things you imagine later when you're alone... ::she grins::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:34:23 AM)
He looked at her with a grin. "Oh no cherie. I am trying to picture what you would look like with just that on at the moment. It is much easier to do with the person in front of you." he said with a grin.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:34:58 AM)
::she laughs:: You don't with to let your imagination work for you?
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:35:02 AM)
wish*
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:35:50 AM)
"While I like to let my imagination work for me at times. It is much much better to have the reality at times. Espically when the subject is a beauty such as yourself."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:36:30 AM)
::a very very faint pink tinge at her tanned cheeks and she smiles softly:: Merci, cher.. are you always so charming with the ladies?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:37:15 AM)
"No, only when I am not on duty." he replied with a smile. "I must say that is a very nice blush."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:41:36 AM)
::her lips parted slightly and then she laughed, shaking her head, as it got -slightly- pinker... but she was pretty good at trying to not let it get to her:: You... will do nicely here, Detective Drake... most assuredly. ::she winks::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:42:15 AM)
"Why thank you Corproal duboir." then they had the desert she wanted to share.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:42:45 AM)
::she grins:: Luci... when off-duty.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:44:50 AM)
"Then I must insit on James, or Jim when off duty." he replied. he ook a small portain adn began to eat it. "So care to come back to my place and watch a movie when desert is over?"
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:46:19 AM)
You... don't miss a beat... ::she tilts her head:: Which do you prefer... James, or Jim? ::she nibbled on dessert, closing her eyes at the dark chocolate:: Humphrey Bogart?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:48:27 AM)
"Well when I see something I want I try not to miss a beat." he replied with a grin that was useless cause her eyes were closed. "Jim works." He wondered if perhaps that had been to forward.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:50:57 AM)
::she smiles and looks to him:: Jim it is... and while I'm tempted to take the offer, very.. tempted... ::eyes going over him again:: I'm always a little more cautious when it comes to things in the work place.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:51:37 AM)
"Well if it makes you feel better, I don't care for one night stands." he replied softly so his voice wouldn't carry.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:52:32 AM)
::she flicks a brow, he'd piqued her curiosity now:: Any particular reason?
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:52:49 AM)
::her voice pitching lower, more intimate in the booth::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:54:03 AM)
"Because I don't find any thrill in it any longer, don't get me wrong when I was younger yes it was fun, and exciting. But one night stands are jsut that, then it's over. I find it mroe fun to persue something longer...even if it's just a fling for a few weeks, takes more work to keep things interesting."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:56:24 AM)
::she smiles softly, teasingly, and then winks:: Think you have what it takes to keep things interesting?
James Drake (May 17, 2011 12:57:06 AM)
"I think I do yes." he replied with a return wink. "Do you? cause it's not a passive endevour on the other persons part either."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 12:58:40 AM)
::she laughs softly:: We shall see, non? ::she grins to him::
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:00:28 AM)
The game is afoot.... Well... not Bogart... more Conan Doyle.. but.. you know what I mean.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:06:06 AM)
(wow sorry for no reply my screen scrolled up and I did realise)
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:06:13 AM)
(it's okay)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:06:33 AM)
He returned the smile. "Ah so I take it you are turning me down for the night cherie?"
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:07:13 AM)
::she smiles softly:: What was it you were offering? ::said with a teasing smile::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:08:02 AM)
he returned teh smile. "Chocolate, wine, movie, candles, a bed and....so on." he replied.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:08:25 AM)
::she laughs softly, amused, relaxed:: I thought you didn't do one-night stands..
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:10:41 AM)
"i did, but I never said i wouldn't try for the romatic part the first night." he said with a small smile. "And as a gentleman, i would never ask a lady to do something she did not wish to do."
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:12:33 AM)
::she smiles:: It's not necessarily something I -don't- wish to do.. but... I'd prefer getting to know you .. if we will be working together, and... seeing more of each other.
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:14:18 AM)
He grinned. took her hand in his and kissed the back of it. "And mabe play hard to get Non?" he said in the best fake french accent ever.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:15:46 AM)
::she laughs, and her fingertips reached, caressing along his jaw lightly:: Non, I have stated what I need... ::she winked. Her skin was very soft, and obviously well taken care of::
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:18:10 AM)
'Ask your questions then and I shall answer." his hands were rough obviously used to work, he didn't let go of her hand, but just ran his thumb over the back of her hand in circles as if it was the most intimate thing in the world his eyes on hers.
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:20:52 AM)
::she smiles:: And if we do it all tonight... what is left for tomorrow? ::she watched his eyes as well, and she spoke quietly, eyes still amused, lips curved slightly::
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:21:05 AM)
(I will need to crash in a few, unfortunately)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:21:12 AM)
(drats)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:21:33 AM)
"Indeed, shall I take you to your house, or to your bike?"
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:21:35 AM)
(sorry... in another 2 weeks I'll be off work for 3 months.. but... until then, I have to go to work in the morning.)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:22:03 AM)
(yeah I need to hit thae sack soon too...between school and work I'm going crazy LOL)
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:22:06 AM)
My bike, si vous plait, I need to have it tomorrow to get to work... Li and I are still not on the same schedule again. ::shaking her head::
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:22:12 AM)

James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:22:22 AM)

Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:22:32 AM)
(Suck. I did that when I was in school.)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:22:45 AM)
(work barely pays for gas and groceries at these prices...oi)
James Drake (May 17, 2011 1:23:04 AM)
(ok So, I shall see you later.)
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:23:09 AM)
(she changes into racing leathers at the station before leaving, and she will give him a kiss on both cheeks, as well as her card)
Lucinde Duboir (May 17, 2011 1:23:30 AM)
