After placing her money on the counter Karinka moved to exit the tavern. In a blur of motion Dret had reached out and gripped Karinka's arm gently. He nodded to the bar tender and placed the required money on the counter. He then stood and walked to Karinka his dark blue eyes not lifting from hers. Several men had shouted congradulations to Dret and were whistling.
"I think it would be best if I were to walk you home....." Dret's voice still very deep and low.
"I don't know....I mean you did already try and--" Karinka had suddenly been interupted by a very large man approaching the pair.
"Well Dret, Nice catch..I will pay you...500 dollars for this one..." The large man's voice was sickening it sounded like he had food gloged in it. But he wouldn't have the chance to keep talking. Dret slammed his free hand foreward sending his fist into the man's face. The man dropped to the ground which responded in angry shouts towards Dret.
"Yea maybe we should get going Dret" With that Karinka had pulled him off into the streets of a city in ruin. The streets had tried up since the last ran a day or so ago. The sun shined brightly on the streets but still, still they looked like they had seen the last of they're days in a world so cold.
Dret had released Karinka's arm and they were slowly moving to Karinka's new apartment. She had chosen this new apartment because the older one had obviously been comprimised. Karinka and Dret walks side by side matching each others pace but not one word had been spoken between either of them. From time to time you could see one of them glancing at the other and then turning away once the other met the gaze. Soon they arrived at the front steps of another run down apartment.
"Well here it is, thanks for the escort Dret but I'll be fine from here" Karinka looked to Dret with those green eyes still not sure if she could trust him.
"You think I did that for free? I just knocked one of my best clients out for you..." Dret said while looking at her his face wearing a fake look of bewilderment.
"WHAT!? I never asked you to do that I could've done it on--Oh come on." Karinka scorned at Dret before walking into the apartment building.
From the door way Karinka and Dret took the first door on the left, apartment one. Karinka opened the door and led the way into a open apartment with a kitchen,bathroom,living room with no furniture but a chair and several computers, and a bedroom. Karinka motioned for Dret to stand in the living room while she dissappeared into the bedroom to find payment.
"You know...you could've told me this was going to cost something then I would've told you to but out" Yelled Karinka into the other room while she searched for some money.
"Well I didn't have much time before him talking and the bunch to let you know...." His voice had change, it had grown slightly softer and there seemed to be some enthusiams behind it.
Karinka came walking out holding a small wad of money in her hand she approached Dret and looked up to him with a slightly angered face.
"Here, here's your money" She pushed the money against Dret's chest and held it there.
"I-I Don't want your money Karinka..." Said Dret turning his gaze away from hers.
"What..then what do you want?"
Dret slowly turned back to meet her gaze. His dark blue eyes locked onto her dark green orbs. No one ever knows why, but for some reason...lovers can always read each other's minds. Karinka's eyes slowly closed as she moved closer to Dret. Her hands wrapped around him. Dret eyes too closed, he leaned down gently pressing his lips to hers and his arms wrapping around her and pulling her close. The two stayed like this for several minutes holding one another as they shared they're first kiss In a world so cold.......
