Peek-a-boo [Dexi]

[Alexis Jane Hamilton]

The young pink haired vixen had finally made it to California, the land of milk and honey and it was all hers for the taking is what she thought in her little drug educed mind. She had done and explored most of the city San Francisco her first weeks here, not wasting anytime. She soon realized that this city was almost a million times funner than her home back in Seattle. There were tons of people just like her in this town, tons of parties, and drugs were being passed out like candy, Lexi was in teenage delinquent heaven.

She soon discovered that the local park was the place where most burn-outs, druggies, and skaters hung out. Lots of underage drinking and drug use went on here, along with other illegal activities such as vandalism, ect. So this evening she made her way over there so mingle and see what kind of mischief she could get into with the other kids, considering she was usually a manipulative little she devil and made every bad idea seem like a good and reasonable one after all.

She made her way to a lonely bench and soon started to dig through her weed leaf back pack pulling out an opened pack of Marlboro red cigarettes then looking for a lighter. She had several at the bottom of the back pack and started pulling them out. She attempted to spark one...nothing...second one...nothing a again, then third and fourth one still nothing. "Shit!" the frustrated teen said as she looked around while twirling one of her pink pig tails.

She noticed a guy on a the opposite bench as her who definitely looked like he had a lighter. She looked him over a bit, he was definitely older than her, but yet attractive, in a rugged scum bag kinda way, but that was exactly Lexi's type. She put a smile on and got up to approach him. "Yo, you gotta lighter? All of mine seem to be out." She said with a sigh as she yet again twirled a pink pig tail.

OUTFIT<3

Dexter sat on the bench he always sat at when he came to the park, hunched over in an impressive slouch. Reaching into the breast pocket inside his jacket, he slipped a cigarette out and let it dangle between his lips as he searched for a lighter, letting it meet the end of his cigarette and lighting up. He took a deep breath and moved his cigarette from his lips to his fingers, his free hand starting at his forehead and taking a long and slow pace, dragging his hand down the front of his face, catching his bottom lip and sending it inside out for a moment. Once his hand cleared his face and his lip popped back up into place, he took another long drag of his cigarette, rubbing his temples.

This job could be boring much more than it could be exciting at some points, if it could ever be considered a job. Grabbing his soda with his free hand he took a drink from the straw, getting a gurgling sound that signified that he was out. “Man...for real?” he asked the inanimate object with a groan and throwing his head back frustratedly, lugging the fast food paper cup into the nearest trash can. He supposed, being in this line of business, it was better if things weren’t exciting. Really, there wasn’t much to complain about, he made a ridiculous amount of money for sitting on a park bench and going to parties for a living; the cooking part never bothered him much, he thought it was fun, after all, he had majored in chemistry.

Just as he was about to give up for the day, he noticed a girl, no doubt a troublemaker by the looks of her, on her way over. He smirked to himself for a moment, sitting up the slightest bit straighter, but otherwise kept a neutral look on his face as she headed for the bench across from him. Well...he could stay just a little longer. He watched, quite amused, as she went through lighter after lighter. It was actually impressive how prepared she’d been, yet she still hadn’t gotten a desirable outcome. In his mind he thought about the probability of such an instance happening and on top of that, the probability of him having witnessed it.

It wasn’t until he saw her heading in his direction, seeing her twirling that cute pink pigtail, that he abandoned his equations and calculations, looking up at her as she approached, an equally amused smirk on his face not hiding the fact that he had been watching her and her struggles.

“Yo…” he greeted back, repeating the same word she had used, but saying it much slower as if he needed the savor the way the word felt in his mouth. “I saw you seemed to be having trouble...you sure the child lock wasn’t on?” he mused, able to tell that this girl was fresh faced, even if she attempted to look as though she’d been around the block; he could tell she was young. Searching through his pockets he found a lighter and flicked it in her direction. “Keep it,” he instructed her as he leaned back into the bench, able to take more of her in that way, lifting the cigarette to his lips again, he looked down the abandoned sidewalk each way before meeting her eyes again. “Anything else I can help you with?”

[Alexis Jane Hamilton]

This guy had a dangerous vibe to him which intrigued Lexi the most. She wanted to get to know him, and learn his story. She had met a lot of interesting people but she was pretty drawn to to him already, just by the way he talked she knew he was a badass. Which made a wicked smile appear on her angelic little face.

"Shut up, I'm not a child...I know how to light a lighter." She said with a pouty face as she took the lighter from him. Then put her cigarette between her pink lips and light it slowly, watching the cherry light up then inhaling. "Thanks, so what was your name?" She asked as she swung her back pack off her shoulder and threw the lighter in the front pocket. "I'm Lexi." She told him with a smile. He was just so hot and she couldn't help but smile, even though he seemed already like a cocky asshole.

"Oh, so you're offering your services to me?" She asked while laughing, thinking it was a really silly thing to say. "What are you a prostitute or something? In that case you could start with your number..." She said mostly serious with a evil little smirk with a scrunch of her nose. She could be a little smart ass too when she wanted to. She might have been a little obvious when it came to flirting, but what guy actually cared about that kind of thing? Definitely not shady older guys who hang out in parks, that's for sure. She took another drag and noticed his gaze on her which made her cheeks turn a light shade of pink while she looked him over as well. He had swag too, that was definitely a plus. She turned away slightly, being barely able to contain her smile, while she took another drag. "What are you looking at loser?" She asked with another smile creeping out.

Tut tut it looks like rain!

Oh no! The clouds have rolled in and it has started raining, it's not so bad right now but you better find some cover before it gets worse! You won't wanna catch a cold.

[Dexter Anthony Ramsden]

A smirk plastered on his face, Dexter let out a small chuckle, closing his eyes and glancing up at her once they were opened again, using only his eyes rather than lifting his entire face toward hers. “Lexi, huh?” looking just as intrigued by her as she seemed to be by him. “I’m Dex…” he told her his own name, though he didn’t extend a hand to her or anything of that sort. He liked to keep things informal, chance meetings could be fun, but he had no idea what trouble this girl could cause for him.

“Woah, woah, woah,” he laughed, “You call me a prostitute? Then you call me a loser? You really expect me to give you my number?” his eyebrows raising, finally leaning his head back to look up at her a bit better. He glanced away down the sidewalk, “If I just gave away my number to every little girly who asked for it, my phone would never stop ringing. I mean...it’d be off the hook.” He shook his head and reached into his pocket for another cigarette, lucky to have been carrying another lighter to light his cigarette.

As Dexter took his first drag, he felt a raindrop pelt him on the cheek, right below his eye. Glancing up at the sky, he noticed the dark clouds coming in from the ocean and he could tell that heavier rain was quickly approaching them, less bearable than the light drizzle that was rudely disrupting his afternoon at the park. “Aw, shit…” he groaned, standing and throwing his hood up, looking to his cigarette, hoping to salvage it for as long as possible, it would be to sad to have to abandon it already.

“Yo, I think some shelter may be in order,” he suggested, glancing around and seeing a playground newly freed up as all the children and their parents were heading home, hoping to get out of the rain. With that, he took off, hoping to jump into some tube there or perhaps a slide. Despite his nonchalant attitude toward her, he did manage to glance over his shoulder to see if she was following him, “You coming?”

[Alexis Jane Hamilton]

She smiled a bit as she realized that their names almost rhymed, it was kind of cute, Lexi and Dex...it had a ring to it didn't it? Oh boy she was getting way ahead of herself. She just couldn't help these things sometimes. "Dex..." She said with a nod. "Well, I suppose it's nice to meet you." She said with a sassy looking smirk. "Oh right, and I'm sure you get hit up all the time right?" She asked a little sarcastically but still having a slight smirk on her face.

Then she felt a few rain drops sprinkle on her head, damn. This was about to ruin her day, she really on didn't dress for the rain, a mini skirt and a sports bra didn't fit this weather at all. What was going on anyway? It was just sunny and warm a few minutes ago, she really needed to come prepared next time, she didn't even have a jacket in her back pack. Stupid Bipolar California Weather.

Goose pimples started to cover her pale skin, "ugh...Fuck me." She said out of anger because it started to rain. She ran over to the playground after him, it was covered with an awning so they could be protected from the rain at least. As she ran towards the play ground she attempted to save the rest of her cigarette as well, really not wanting to waste it. "Yeah, I'm coming." She said as her teeth started to chatter a bit. She then moved in front of him and climbed up the little latter to get access to the slides and stuff, giving him a nice view if he was looking. She then took off her Mary Janes and set them on the plat form, not wanting them to get in the way once she crawled into a slide. She found a pretty big tube and slide into it, but only sliding down enough for him to get in also, and not wanting to fall out because she felt some what warmer being away from the cold air. she laughed a bit and re lit her cigarette. "It's fucking cooooold!" She shouted out to him then took another drag and waited for him to follow.

[Dexter Anthony Ramsden]

Dex laughed, ”You only suppose?” he asked the girl, raising his eyebrows a bit, though his playful smirk never left his face. At her next comment he shrugged, ”What? You don’t believe me? I only got three phones to try and deal with all the ladies after my junk, otherwise the lines would be all tied up,” he teased.

After the sprint to the playground, he watched as Lexi bypassed him and climbed the ladder in front of him and he didn’t shy away from taking a good look, to him it seemed she was showing off on purpose. Putting the cigarette loosely between his lips, Dex climbed up the ladder after her and followed her to the slide. After taking a couple of drags and exhaling, he looked down into the slide at her, listening to her complain about the cold and able to see her shivering. Dex stripped off his jacket and sent down the slide to her, hoping that she wouldn’t let it go past her. Then, he followed it down into the slide, holding his feet out somewhat like brakes so that he wouldn’t pummel into her.

“What you too cool to check the weather channel?” he asked, though he usually just checked on his phone. Since he spent so much time outside he liked to make sure he dressed accordingly. To be honest, it really didn’t make much of a difference, he wore the same sort of outfit everyday. Jeans, t-shirt, hoodie, hat, tennis shoes...he really didn’t need to put much thought into it, but it always kept him prepared for any meteorological event. ”You gonna be okay?” he asked once he’d slid down beside her, noticing how much she was shivering. ”I might have been prepared for the rain, but I did not prepare to take some broad to the hospital with hypothermia…”

[Alexis Jane Hamilton]

It just didn't make any sense to the pink haired teenager, Wasn't California supposed to be all sunshine all the time? Daisy Dukes with Bikini's on top, those were the words of Katy Perry so it had to be true right? Then why the fuck was it pouring down rain? She was under the impression that she had left the dark and gloomy weather back in Washington, but that's why not everyone should give into stereotypes, things aren't always what they seem. Though, she was grateful that this guy was nice enough to give her his sweatshirt off his back, even though he might get cold because of it. She caught the sweatshirt after flicking her cigarette butt down the tube. She put it on, zipping it up and putting her knee's and arms inside. Bundling up inside the warm sweatshirt that was much to big on her, she even put the hood up for extra warmth. It even smelled nice too, comforting even. Well more like cigarette's and whatever cheap man spray he was wearing, but it was a nice scent to her.

It seemed despite of his appearance, this Dex character seemed to be an alright guy so far. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks." She said a little softer, after blushing a bit hoping that the big piece of clothing hid her red face. She leaned into him a bit, hoping to get some more warmth, plus she felt bad for taking his jacket some what and didn't want him to freeze either. "I think I'll live..." She said with a chuckle, looking up at him slightly. "So, Dex. What's your story?" She asked with a slight smile, interested in learning a little bit more about him. Since it seemed like they would be in this tube together for a little bit longer until the rain wasn't coming down so hard at least. Beside's he looked like an interesting person, someone she might be able to learn a lot from.
