"You promised me a drink right? I don't like it when other people fail to keep their promises, so I suppose that we should go now before you forget." Adia smiled, giving him a gentle nudge with her shoulder to get him moving. She supposed that she could settle for Aidan, he was the only one who had made an effort to be friendly with her so far. She grabbed her jacket from the hook on her way out of the door, pulling it on tight around her. "Lead the way kind sir."

"Of course I remember" Aidan said with a nice smile. He nodded at her then pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Let's go" He said walking down the corridor and to the door. He held it open for her and then followed her outside. They could use the hotel bar but she was working there and Aidan figured she was sick of the place. He'd take her somewhere else

In fact, Adia absolutely hated the place. She didn't know why she had ever started working there when her parents had a perfectly good job waiting for. She took his arm again as they made their way down the busy street, a strange contented smile working its way across her lips.

"You seem happy" Aidan stated without looking at her. He could hear her heart beat accelerate a little when they left the hotel - a typical sign when someone was happier. He also felt her arm around his again. "Where exactly shall we go?" He asked looking at the various shops. "What would you like to have? Coffee? Tea? Ice cream or maybe something to eat?" As a vampire he couldn't decide for her

Adia shrugged her shoulders, unable to come up with any explanation for her change of mood. She was certainly a lot happier than what she had been when she had got up that morning. Maybe it had to do with the man on her arm? "Icecream" She answered automatically, glancing at Aidan out of the corner of her eyes. "Actually I wouldn't mind a strawberry milkshake."

"Strawberry milkshake then" Aidan agreed. He forced himself not to shudder. He'd already tried it and for him a milkshake tasted like dirt. The girl beside him smelled much more appealing but he already decided not to taste her. She seemed nice and he wasn't thirsty.
"And where can we get your favorite strawberry milkshake?" He asked looking at her

"Follow me.." Adia smiled. Her hand slid down his arm to take his larger one so it would be easier to keep a hold of him as she weaved her way through the crowd of people that like her were just now getting off of work and heading him. She lead him to a small diner of sorts. The place was old but she had come to find this place made the most amazing milkshakes. "I'd like a strawberry milkshake with lots of whipped cream please.." She ordered at the counter before sitting down in the nearest booth.

"Alright" Aidan agreed. he tensed again when her smaller hand slid down his arm and she touched his ice cold skin. It wasn't that chilly to have so cold hands. But she didn't seem to notice as she pulled him through the crowd and to a small diner. She ordered her milkshake and the waiter turned to Aidan. "Nothing for me" he said with a pleasant smile

His skin was like ice but Adia didn't seem to notice, she was more worried about him not disappearing on her. It was chilly outside so that may have had something to do with it as well. She crossed her legs under the table and murmured a small thank you to the waiter as he quickly brought her order out to her. "You really aren't going to get anything?" She asked, plucking the cherry off of the top and licking it clean before popping it into her mouth. The cherry was the best part.

Aidan sat across from her and propped his chin on the heel of his palm watching her. It was a habit of his to watch and analyze people he was talking to. At work it was helping him build a profile and predict someone's next move. After hours he was doing it for fun predicting his friends actions. Often he'd play this way with Alice, trying to guess someone's next move and asking her if he was right.
"No, I'm fine. Not hungry or thirsty at all" He said smiling at her

Although she had just ordered a milkshake, Adia felt like a pig for having something when he did not. She had always been extremely self conscious. She played it off like nothing was bothering her, taking small sips from her straw as she twirled a strand of hair around her finger. "You said that your partner was married. What about you then, Aidan? Do you have someone too?" She asked curiously.

Aidan watched her with a slightly amused look on his pale face. He subconsciously traced with his finger a brownish bruise under his left eye, the identical bruise present under his right one. If she asked why he didn't want a milk shake he'd tell her he was allergic to milk. But her question was different. He shook his head slowly. "No. My agency is my wife" He answered

Adia chewed on the inside of her cheek as she watched him traced the bruises under his eyes. She sometimes got something similar to those too when she hadn't gotten enough sleep or after a particularly nasty fist fight so she didn't comment on them. "That is terrible. I could never consider my job as my partner at all.." She grimaced in disgust.

Aidan smiled at her comment. "I suppose." He nodded. "Your job doesn't seem particularly interesting or plasant. Mine can be really great. Sometimes whena case is complicated, when there are strange clues, a mystery. When building a profile of a suspect isn't easy. I like solving mysteries. " he explained

"Well I am glad that your job brings you such joy. When you like your job then it really isn't a job anymore." Adia smiled. She didn't think that she would ever find a career that would make her as happy as Aidan's made him. Her career of choice would only lead more to her self destruction. "Maybe this is a good thing? I don't think that there is any woman in the world that would look good enough to be seen on your arm."

Aidan's eyebrow arched gracefully at her statement. Alright, so he knew he was beautiful. He was a vampire after all. But that didn't mean there weren't other creatures equally or even more beautiful. "That is definitely not true. But it's safer this way. My job brings me joy, so much joy I might neglect a special someone if I had them. And it's dangerous too. I can deal with danger myself but I wouldn't want to risk anyone's life"

"Well I think that it's true." Adia shrugged. Lowering her eyes, she swirled her straw around in her glass before taking a small sip. She wasn't going to lecture someone about love and dating when she didn't have anyone either. She didn't want to sound like a hypocrite. And maybe he had a point? Marrying your job didn't hurt quite so much.

"definitely. I can see how Jasper tries to divide his time between Alice and his job and how she's sometimes worried." Aidan continued gesturing with his hands. He put fingertips of his hands together. "It's not the time that is the problem but having someone worry about you. Who would want to hurt someone like that" he continued

Adia bit down on her bottom lip to hold back her argument, instead shrugging her shoulders in answer. There were plenty of people out there who would put a person through that kind of pain, sometimes even worse. "I am happy for you then, for having no one." She stated, not knowing what else to say.

Aidan shrugged too. "I guess I'm not ready for a stable relationship yet. Maybe one day I get to it and I'll be able to give up on my job or find a way to keep both safe and happy" He added. He then stopped talking ang tilted his head to a side looking at her. "What about you? Anyone special in your life? "
