Connor smiled his most charming smile, stiffening when Emmas mother hugged him. Regardless, he spoke with a friendly tone. "Hello ma'am. Nice to meet you." Back in Texas, most folks had respect drilled into their minds since they could talk. A child who didn't say 'sir' and 'ma'am' needed some lessons on respect, folks used to say. And naturally, Connor had done his best - and still did! - to heep chivalry alive and well.

Emma's mother chuckled and pulled away while saying, "Hon, you can just call me Sherry."
Emma smiled and asked, "Mom, where's dad?"
"He went shopping for a new motorcycle. He asked me to tell you to call him if you needed anything for your Ducati," her mom explained.
Emma shook her head and stated, "I'm going to let Connor borrow a pair of his board shorts because we're going wakeboarding today." Her mother nodded as Emma grabbed onto Connor's hand and led him up to her room. She opened the door and motioned her hand around the room while saying, "Welcome to the domain of Emma, and I know it doesn't seem like my style at all, but sometimes even I need a break from all the bright colors." She giggled as she jumped onto her bed and smiled up at Connor.

Connor nodded, blushing slightly and scratching the back of his neck with his right hand awkwardly. "I'll try, ma'am. Er, Sherry." He chuckled softly. When led into Emma's room, he stood gaping. "Damn." It wasn't the appearance of the room that had him nearly speechless, but the size. It was large by his standards, considering his tiny apartment. Connor felt that everyone had a calm side to them, and Emma's room could possibly reflect that. Finally closing his jaw, Connor spoke with a slightly awed voice, moving to stand in front of the bed. "Half my apartment could fit in here!"

Emma laughed and stated, "It's only really big because we tore down the wall that separated half of it." She clambered off the bed and went into her closet, searching for a bathing suit. When she finally found one, she threw it on her bed and grabbed Connor's hand again, leading him to her parent's room. "Since we don't really have time to go to your place and get whatever shorts you have, you can borrow a pair of my dad's. He has good style so don't worry," she explained as she dug through her parent's drawers, searching for the said item. "Got it!" she exclaimed as she threw the board shorts into Connor's face. "I'm going to go change in my room. There's a bathroom right by my room so go change in there," she stated as she ran out of the room in a rush.

Connor chuckled softly and nodded, making his way into the bathroom and changing once he found it. Since he hadn't worn a shirt all day, he knocked on the bedroom door with his basket-ball shorts folded over his left arm, which was being held parallel to the ground in a waiter-like manner. Truth be told, Connor didn't own a pair of board shorts. So it was a relief that he was able to borrow some for the day. I'm gonna need to pick up some at the store tomorrow, I think. He shrugged, only loosely planning his trip to the store. He'd have done it by the end of next three days, anyway.

Emma opened the door, only wearing her bathing suit, and blushed at Connor's appearance. "Sexy," she stated with a giggle as looked him up and down visibly. Turning around she stated, "Let me put on a pair of jeans and a shirt and then we can get going." After putting on some clothes and grabbing a big t-shirt for Connor, she led him back downstairs and out the door after saying goodbye to her mom. Once again, they were back on the motorcycle, heading for the nearest lake.

Connor's breath caught in his throat at the sight of Emma. His lips twitched upward in a smile at her words, and he gulped audibly - and visibly, due to the bobbing of his adam's apple - and shrugged. Holy hell. He tried to stop his eyes from looking her up and down, and was lucky to notice her own looking at him. His jumbled thoughts at the moment weren't the easiest to function with, after all. Connor threw on the t-shirt he was given and followed Emma out to her bike, bowing his head respectfully as a farewell to her mother.

Soon, the two had finally made it to a lake, and a private looking one at that. "This is where my uncle and I keep our boat," she stated as she parked her motorcycle in a parking space and took off her jacket. She pulled off her shirt as well, just leaving her in her bathing suit top and jeans, and walked over to a counter that was nearby. "Hi Bob! Is my baby ready?" she questioned with a smile. The man laughed and replied,"Yep! We kept her in good condition just for you." Emma smiled and took the boat keys that Bob was handing to her. She thanked him and walked back to Connor. "If you follow me, you'll see the best wakeboarding boat on this planet," she exclaimed as she took his hand and led him towards the dock. Emma led him up to one boat in particular that was on the very end of the dock and covered by a boat cover. It was massive in size, at least 28 feet long, and once Emma took off the boat cover, a silver metal tower with speakers and wakeboards on it was visible. Emma's face lightened up as she viewed her baby and kissed it. "I missed you," she stated as she fell onto the plush seats on the inside. She looked up towards Connor and smiled. "Well, are you going to get in or what?" she questioned as she stood straight with her hands on her hips.

Connor once again was left standing with a slack jaw, staring with wide eyes. "Ho...ly...crap..." My god! I've never seen a boat this big before! The only boats Connor had ever been on in his life were paddleboats, kayaks, and canoes so this was certainly surprising for him. When she spoke, he blushed with a brief chuckle and hopped on board, sitting next to her in another seat. Comfy.

She uncrossed her arms and smiled when Connor got in the boat. Emma then pulled her shoes and jeans off and went to untie the boat from the dock. "Wait...Con doesn't know how to drive a wake boat," she remembered as she smacked her hand to her head. "I'll be right back Con, I just have to get someone," she stated as she hopped out of the boat and ran barefoot back to Bob. "Hey Bob, do you think you can close up and come on the boat with Con and me that so you can drive us?" she questioned with puppy dog eyes. "I don't know, I'm pretty busy," he stated jokingly as he looked at the deserted parking lot. Bob laughed and nodded as he put a closed sign up and followed Emma back to the boat. "Con, Bob here is going to drive us around while we wakeboard okay? I'm going to go first though that so you can see what to do though," she stated as she untied the boat from the dock after Bob and her got in. Bob started up the boat and pulled away from the dock, going slow at first while in the no wake zone, and then speeding up when he got out of the zone. They stopped when the water looked smooth and there wasn't much wind so Emma quickly put on her life vest and wakebaord and got in the water. When she was ready, Bob started up the boat again and Emma was up and wakeboarding in a matter of seconds.

Connor waved to Bob when he entered, tilting his head forward as well. When the boat first started up and began moving, he kept his gaze on the water beside them, contentedly breathing in the fresh air. As they stopped, he turned his head to watch Emma wakeboard in both awe and curiousity. A more logical side of Connor payed close attention to her technique and how she got going, but another part of him couldn't keep it's focus from Emma herself.

When Emma felt it was time to stop showing off for Connor and to let him have a try with it, she got back on the boat, letting the air dry her off instead of a towel. She took her long hair and put it on one side of her shoulder while she reached into a compartment and pulled out a bigger life jacket. "This one should fit you Con," she stated as she held it up to him and tried to see if it would fit him or not.

Connor stood and pulled off his shirt, discarding the garment onto the cushion he'd previously been sitting in. His shoulders were very broad and he was quite muscular, so he had no doubt that he'd need a rather large jacket. The life jacket Emma held up seemed the first size, he thought.

Emma blushed as she watched Connor take off his shirt and stuttered through her next statement. "S-s-so how y-you want t-t-to get up is, uh, haha, k-keep the b-board close to y-you when y-you're in the w-w-water and when you f-f-feel like your going to be pulled u-up, p-p-pull on the r-rope and s-stand up and k-k-keep your left f-foot in front of your r-right foot," she explained, trying desperately not to stutter, but she had a weakness for abs and big shoulders.

Ai the Fallen Annora smiled a crooked smile. "Um.. I got it at Goth Topic..." She said looking down at the little girl. "Aren't you a little young to be into the whole goth thing?" She asked her. Stepping inside, she looked around. "Um.. So John... is he here..." She asked the little girl. Man... She's worse than a freshman... She thought to herself.
John herd his sister and got up. He went to his door unlocking ti and opening it. "oh, hey annora come on in...hold on." John went ver to his X-box and turned it off. He quickly picked up his dirty close and threw them in his closet. "So..this is my..pathetic house." He smiled.
