Clint and The Sagittarian
"I feel like we're having a staring contest," Monique said, slightly self-consciously.
"No," Clint said, shaking his head. He continued to stare.
"I should have bought eye drops, if that was the case…"
Am I making you uncomfortable?"
"A little, yeah," Monique admitted. "It's like you have x-ray vision and are checking to see what kind of underwear I've got on."
Clint laughed and softened his gaze. "I like blue. It's nice on you."
"What?" Monique cried, alarmed. She looked down at herself. "How did you know that? Seriously!"
"Woah! I was joking. I was just guessing!" Clint said quickly.
Monique laughed and smirked. "Gotcha!" she said.
Clint pursed his lips and studied her. "Ha! Very nice, yes. I walked into that one,"
he said nodding. "A sexual harassment case flashed before my eyes," he added quietly.
Monique laughed.
"I'm not meaning to be a creeper, honestly. I'm just analysing you, trying to get a picture of you that isn't based off of what you want to tell me."
"And how's that working out for you, Sherlock?" She asked lightly.
Clint smiled, "you'd be surprised."
"You must be a Leo," Monique guessed. "Or a Scorpio. That would explain the intensity. Hmm… I'm a Sagittarius…with a Scorpio? Ouch!"
Clint laughed easily. "No sting in my tail, I swear! I just like to look."
"Well… you may be a little direct with your eye contact, but you're certainly not the biggest weirdo I've sat through tonight…."
Clint sat forward, intrigued. "Do tell…"
"I had a foot-fetish guy early on."
"Ugh! No way!" Clint laughed.
Monique laughed, "Yep, soon as he sat down, he asked to see what kind of shoes I was wearing. Then he started asking me all the really specific questions about what kind of boots I wear, and do I get pedicures… it took me a few minutes to cotton on." She blushed slightly.
"I can go punch him, if you like?" Clint offered.
Monique laughed again. "Maybe later. After we've talked."
"Oh, I'd hit him then come straight back. Won't take me a minute," he said casually.
"Okay, maybe you do go on the weirdo list," Monique mentioned.
"Just trying to help a lady," Clint said casually.
Monique laughed.
