what's a girl gotta do to get love around here?

The word baby made her want to smile so badly and it gave her a chill down her spine. Oh, it felt so good to be called that name. Baby. She would then know she's doing this right. "Oh, I'd definitely would love to see that side of you," Gabriella winked and chuckled. Oh, she definitely wanted a piece of this guy, he was so tasty.

She wasn't going to answer if she was interested or not. That was supposed to be her question to ask him. Oh well, she thought, she can't always have everything. "I may be interested, then again, I may not..." Gabriella replied. "I could ask you the same thing, your sexy lordship, but would you give me an honest answer?" Gabriella asked.

"I'll take the drinks...and perhaps a chat..but I'm most comfortable here, if you know what I mean," Gabriella replied. She once more, patted the seat beside her but did not move an inch closer to where he wanted her to be."I'm sure you'd be more comfortable here too, there'll be more in it for you." Gabriella whispered.

Andrew felt pretty sure that he had gotten that chance now, yet he wasn't too sure. Perhaps a little longer and this may end in his favor. "Trust me, you'll be dying for it," he smiled deviously, wondering if that would get her going even more. "Perhaps you may see it for free. Who knows?" It was almost like a war between the two, a test of wills to see who would break to lust first. If Andrew went down, he wouldn't go without a fight.

"Trust me," he pointed out "you have gotten an honest answer already. The question is if you will be willing to handle it or not." Perhaps this would work even better. At least he let her know that things were pretty much the same between them. Lust mostly.

"Maybe we could work something out," he said, knowing full well they were going to be fighting all night for someone to move "perhaps we could move halfway." So he moved, but only to the approximate distance in the middle from where he sat and where she sits. "Now I've got a large pitcher here, and I won't be able to finish it by myself. I will need some sort of sexy woman to help me out."

"Oh, honey, you're just saying that 'cause you're dying for it, but it makes you feel better to say I am, doesn't it?" Gabriella asked. OK, maybe she was dying for it just a teeny tiny bit, but she wasn't going to let him know that! She wouldn't let any guy know she was desperate. It wasn't sexy on her. Trust, she knew, and she had tried it before and hated it.

Gabriella chuckled and had another sip of her drink. "Oh, I can handle anything, probably even handled things you've never tried," Gabriella smiled and shrugged. She just wanted him to move near her, she was getting somewhat bored of this now and wanted to move onto the next step. She wanted to flirt more..or at least be touching.

It seemed they're both on the same page on what they both want. It was time to set the trap! Gabriella was glad to see he made the first move. "Glad we can agree on this," Gabriella responded, and move near him, but only move half way from where she was sitting, and still there was a distance between him and herself.

"That depends, do you?" he asked, trying to squeeze the information out of her. He already knew she did, but it would be fun to see her squirm a bit. She had been toying with him since he arrived here and now she was sitting next to him, so he figured it'd be good to mess with her a bit.

"I wouldn't want to try them," he joked, knowing the innuendo she was making. At least she was honest, that was a plus. He poured a little more of the butterbeer into his mug and slid the pitcher down towards Gabriella, wondering if she wanted any more.

He nodded and said "Maybe we could agree to something more?" he asked, keeping his tone and attitude the same. He wondered if he was walking into that 'trap' he knew would be setting, but it was clear enough of the big picture. Now it was just a matter a time, a game of watching the clock and waiting for the kill. He couldn't help but scan her body a bit more, since he was sitting a little more closer to her. The only thing he could think of was 'Damn'. He definitely didn't want to fail this opportunity.

Gabriella shrugged and looked at him, and raised an eyebrow. "Would've thought by now, darling, that I don't tell you anything yet answer everything," Gabriella said to him. She still yet to learn his name.

"Oh, too bad, you'd learn, alot..." Gabriella teased. She took the pitcher and had a sip. "Don't want to drink too much...I like to know and remember what I'm doing," Gabriella winked. Though, she was thirsty, she thought if she drank a bit more, he would too, and maybe, hopefully be drunk enough that she could do anything to him.

"Sure, how about this, I'll tell you one piece of information about me, and you answer back with a piece of information until, we feel, satisfied..." Gabriella suggested. She licked her lips, as they were dry and thought of something to say. "I have never...failed," Gabriella winked.

"I thought you liked the mysterious kind of guys," he grinned, his eyes flashing a quick glimmer "y'know...the bad boys and everything. The name's Thompson by the way...Andrew Thompson." Now they both knew each others names...after 10 minutes or so.

"I prefer to learn with the people of my choosing," he said, moving slightly closer to her yet it was barely noticeable. "And we wouldn't want that, now would we?" he joked, knowing what she would be talking about. He toke another small sip of his butterbeer and looked back at her, his mind pulsating with thoughts now.

"After you," he said, his body turning towards her now, keeping his eyes locked onto hers for as long as possible. He would occasionally slip now and then, but hey, he was only human...okay maybe a wizard. Whatever. "Although I thought you prefer action over words."

"The pleasure's mine, Mr. Thompson," Gabriella said to him, making sure he knew it. She shrugged and took another sip of her butterbeer. "Did I say that? Yes, I probably did, sounds like me anyway," Gabriella chuckled lightly. She wanted to pretend as if she's forgotten things she has said in the last few minutes, to make him think she was getting drunk.

Gabriella raised an eyebrow and looked at Andrew. "I know you've chosen me, that's for sure, babe," Gabriella said to him. She then chuckled and agreed with, and nodded as well. "No, we wouldn't, it'd be much less fun and over far too quickly," Gabriella said to him.

"Okay, I have a twin brother...and I haven't seen him in nearly 6 months," Gabriella shrugged and said to Andrew. It seemed to be the only normal thing she's said the whole time. "I adore action..." Gabriella paused. "Over words," she added a few moments later.

Andrew could tell that she was getting a bit tipsy. It would be only a matter of time before she would have to succumb to something. The game was also growing tedious in a way, seeing as how this would take a long time, depending on who would cave first. He listened to her fact about her having a twin brother, which was pretty surprising to say the least. Now he would have to say something, wouldn't he? Great. "Well I helped hunt a dragon before," he said, realizing how far-fetch'd that sounded. It was worth a shot really, and he still had a piece of the hide, but it was back at his place. Great.

Gabriella took another sip of her drink and burst out loud in laughter when she heard that he said that he'd helped hunt a dragon before. "Oh, darling, that's a good one," Gabriella laughed. She was totally faking this though, and maybe it would embarrass him a bit, forcing them to go somewhere private. This gave her an idea. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Why don't you prove it to me? Say, got a souvenir at home?" Gabriella asked, curiously. She hoped he'd have something..or at least pretend, she was getting desperate to get her hands on him.

Andrew laughed as well, realizing that he should have had it before he said anything. It truly was a remarkable feat, however he forgot the one thing- evidence. Oh well, he would have to show her later on. "Well I do have a portion of it's hide at home...it was truly a beautiful creature however." he said. reminiscing about the encounter between the dragon and his couple of friends. "If you're willing to come over of course." Perhaps this would finally be the moment when something would actually happen. He was growing tired of all the talking.
