(no subject)

It's the third time Pam's been snatched into Milliways, but her current attire is a little less modest than her normal work clothes. She's lost her cardigan sweater (for the evening, at least) and is now wearing the blouse she once purchased online (with a little over-the-shoulder advice from Kelly) but chose not to wear to work after being on the receiving end of Creed's leer.

She sits and orders a drink - nothing too fancy, and looks around. Not looking for a certain lifeguard she's recently met, of course. Just surveying her surroundings.

But while she's blatantly Not Looking, she wouldn't be averse to some good conversation.

And while she's Not Looking in the other direction, a tall, blond lifeguard saunters up behind the auburn-haired receptionist. He's wearing almost the same outfit as the day they met, except the orange sweater is more of an orange t-shirt now.

"There's my Pennsylvania Girl."

"I do." AC tilts his head, light eyes traveling across her from head to toe, with a slow smile. "You look good enough to eat." He'll partially back up his words, too, by leaning down to plant a light kiss on her mouth.

"I think I can do that." He tugs out the stool and settles down on it in one motion, before reaching out to scoot hers a little closer. You'll have to forgive the swimmer. His kind are very territorial.

"A pint of Newcastle, Bar. And whatever the lady wants."

It is entirely possible that AC doesn't realize (or remember) he's not supposed to be able to do that. He's got a sharp mind, and sharper instincts, but sometimes he really is just a Florida swimmer. Pam has most of his attention -- she'd have all of it if they were alone and in a safe place.

"Awesome, now that I'm with you."

He certainly sounds sincere.

We'll hope Pam stays innocent of AC's identity for a while. He likes the fact that she likes him for just being a goofball. "It's true, sunshine," he agrees, before completely ignoring his beer in favor of leaning forward and sliding a lock of her hair through his fingers.

Especially in the case of this one. Who, incidently, is curling the strand of auburn hair against his thumb, seemingly memorized by its softness. After a moment, AC flicks his gaze back to hers and offers that slow, southern smile of his.

"Do you have any inkling how beautiful you are, Pam?"

"I'm serious," AC protests, having mentally given up on himself. Pam affects him, he has no idea why, but some instinct deep in the recesses of his brain thinks this is a good idea. So he's going to go with the flow and see what happens.

"You are a very beautiful woman. There's a strength somewhere in you thats ... I don't know. I just know there is."

He looks almost confused now, but his fingers haven't left her hair.

"It's not that hard to see if you look close enough, man." It occured to AC a few seconds back that he wasn't sounding nearly as surfer-dude as he usually does, so he's trying to rectify that and give off as many harmless vibes as possible.

Almost belatedly, his fingers curl around hers, chest exhaling as an afterthought.

"Well, if I was looking closely, I'd have to compliment your eyes, and your smile, and the way you smell. And the way you taste."

"It is, yes."

He sounds almost amused.

"Pure talent, Pennsylvania."

Grin.
