Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's a nobel job to be sure..." He nodded with a mysterious tone behind that British accent. "And by the looks of them... You do quite the job...I was surprised half of these were as old as they were... I happen to know a collector who'd love to make a purchase...ecspecially ones in this state..." He reached out and gingerly touched the spine of one of the books in reach, smiling softly to it, as if it were an old friend than simply a inanimate object on a shelf.

He seemed to blush a bit, looking down to take her hands in his. "How about I leave them here? .... It'll be my excuse to come see you again...." He gave her a charming yet shy smile as he kissed the back of her hand gently.

He pulled back and away only to retrieve his coat and edge past her through the door way, though stopped as he was wedged somewhat between her and the frame of the door. "Until next time... Good evening Kitty..." He spoke so formally, though his tone was soft and almost loving as his eyes seemed to pull hers in momentarily.

He acted as if he were going to kiss her, with the way he stared, but instead merely nodded before turning to leave.

The next day, somewhat early, when things had slown down, the door opened once again, though instead of the dashing Nathan coming through, it was simply Jessica, who seemed to be utterly floating into the bookstore with a dreamy smile on her face. "Kitty? Are you here today?" She seemed to sing out as she came to the front counter.

She had on a pair of warm boots, skinny jeans, and pretty well fitted t and short jacket.
Her hair was done up messily, pushed back with a pair of slender reading glasses acting as a headband. She looked like her...though differen. Not only was she showing less skin, but her whole air was just..happier. It all looked more spontaneous really...comfortable and fun instead of sexy and promiscuous.

Jess smiled and came to embrace her friend.

She had known Kitty for a while... She had met her briefly as a child when her sister was still alive, though grew closer to her afterwards. When she was sane and normal and not her crazy party alter ego, she would be here with Kitty, just talking and helping out with the books on slow days.

"Oh do I ever!~" She smiled, biting her lip as she leaned against the shelf. "I met this guy...." She started out but interjected herself. "But not like the others! He's just a friend... but... He's so amazing Kitty!" She pushed off gently form the bookshelf and span in a little circle, arms brought in tight.

Jess smiled and beamed at the thought of her dear friend finding a guy as well. For her guys were just a passing fancy, so this was a big deal that Kitty had one in her life.

Though she did as suggested and began describing the kind sould just the other day.

"Well..." She bit her lip and looked up at the ceiling thinking. "He's got this... soft air about him. He's so kind...and I'm so comfortable around him... He's working towards being a History Major!" She added her eyes widening. "And- As far as I can tell...he's a hard worker, and one of the best men I've ever met in my entire life." Her gaze was dreamy and trailed off with her voice. "And his eyes..." She murmured more to herself then, along with a few more physical qualities that stuck with her.

But really it was all very un-Jessica. Usually the first thing she bragged on was his physical state. She had never spoken about anyone this way before, which was sure to shock, even Kitty, who had enough patience to pu up with Shallow Jessica, and knew the lovely one too...

"At the Cafe in town...He works there..." She sighed leaning agaisnt the counter and closing her eyes a moment. "I as having a rough night and he walked me till i called a cab. Gave me his coat to wear and everything..." She blushed lightly, looking down at her feet.

"I'm actually meeting him soon...i told him i had to visit my dear friend kitty first..." She winked,turning to her.

"Now, enough about me, who's this poor man who's found himself entangled in the wonderful and loving web of Miss Kitty Hm???" She asked, resting her elbows on the counter and holding her head to look up at her friend slyly.

Jess sat in wide eyed amusement as Kitty told her story. She had never seen her friend so lit up with pure joy. Not since she first started working in the shop. It warmed her heard and made her just as giddy. "Oh Kitty! When do i get to meet this guy?"

She asked, though just then the door opened. A young man dressed in a sharp suit and red tie entered. Jes cocked an eyebrow, feeling as if she knew the man from somewhere, tho wasn't sure where. "Ah- Kitty..." He smiled and blushed, unintentionally as he came up to the front desk.

Nathan smiled mischievously as he turning in a circle. "He's already here..." He explained smoothly, now explaining the reason for his appearance. Though he turned to Jessica, he kept his eyes downcast.

"And a pleasure to meet you..." He smiled with a slight bow.
Jessica was a bit skeptical but nodded and shook his hand. "Jessica Darling. Nice to meet you finally..." She said as kindly as she could but couldn't help but get a weird vibe from this guy, ecspecially after he heard her name. He seemed ever so slightly tense.

Though the awkwardness between them would soon pass for Jessica had to go.
"Kitty I am awfully sorry but i'll leave you and your friend alone..." She gave her a hug before adding quietly. "...Be careful though..." Before pulling away and taking her leave to meet up with Alex.
