Mako's POV
Oh my gosh! I practically told Karina Menzler off! There she was standing right in front of me with her arms crossed over her chest. She was wearing a black hoodie, black skinny jeans, and Ugg boots. She was holding her shades and baseball cap. I guessed she was pissed at me for accusing her of being a punk. Note to self, never tell anyone off without knowing if they're a celebrity or not.
I wish I knew what she was thinking. I wanted to come face to face with her someday, but not under those circumstances. Curse my habitat of treating people I just met coldly. I think I was just staring at her with my mouth slightly agape for a few minutes before either of us said something.
"Cat got your tongue, City Boy. Close your damn mouth and tell me what gives you the right accusing me as a punk?" Yeah, she was pissed. There was something about her being furious with me that was hot.
"Look," I started as I put a hand over my eyes, "why don't you just come inside and get something to eat." I would've just said I was sorry, but I could never apologize that easily. Hopefully earning her trust was through her stomach.
She gave me a weird look before answering. "Fine, lead the way, Mr. Silverton."
I did a motion with my hand to make her follow me. While we were walking I swear I heard her mumble something like, eres un hijo de puta. Was that Spanish or French?
Korra's POV
So he took me to his backroom. It wasn't anything too fancy. Just a room with a punching bag, couch, TV, and a table that had bowls filled with food. I had to admit I was hungry.
I walked over to the table and discover this huge bowl with potato chips. I grabbed some and stuffed them in my mouth. Hey, it was free food and I was going to take it. I kept inhaling them until I got a weird taste. I spit out the chips that were in my mouth.
"Vinegar chips, gross," I complained as I grabbed a Gatorade that was on the table to try to wash the foul taste out of my mouth.
"What don't vinegar chips?"
"No, they're gross. Vinegar on anything is just gross. Thank you very much for infecting my mouth with vinegar, City Boy," I complained to him.
"Why do you keep calling me City Boy?" he asked as he sat down on his couch.
"You live in California. Compared to where I used to live which was Colorado, California is a city. Don't judge me," I warned as I leaned up against the wall. I would've eaten more food, but none of it looked satisfying to me.
"Whatever. Aren't you supposed to be on some movie set though?"
"No, my…boyfriend is on a movie set for the night."
When I said boyfriend I swear I saw him make a disgusted face for a moment. Next thing I knew was that he moved down on his couch and grabbed his phone from his pocket. He started typing something in, but I had no clue what.
"Come sit down, Karina. I have to show you something," he said as he did a hand motion for me to come over. I didn't get his personality at all. First he was pissed off to the max and then he was acting like we had known each other for years.
I just walked over to him and sat down on his couch. He brought something up on his phone and it took me a moment before I could interpret what it was.
"Who's that?" I asked in a normal tone like I never saw it before. It was the picture of us kissing in the park. The good thing about being an actress was that you were prepared for any situation, but being an actress didn't help with the awkwardness of the situation.
"Some girl I meet in the park. It was a onetime thing, but it wasn't the worst kiss I ever had. It was actually one of the best kisses I ever had. I took it so she could have bragging rights to her friends and so I could make this one girl I like jealous."
Before I could respond I felt something vibrate and I realized it was my phone. I was so hoping it wasn't Dakota. I grabbed my phone out from my pocket to be relieved it wasn't Dakota. It was a text from Luke. What he said was routine. Movie goin good. Wont b back til mornin. i'll come over in the morning. Love you3
I didn't know if that was actually true or not. I once caught him in bed with another girl who I recognized from his movie. I just pretended I didn't see anything and they were way too busy in their…activity to notice me. That was another reason why I didn't know if I actually loved him. I never got guidance in romantic relationships; let's say guidance that would actually help me. My uncle usually just told me not to date because I was better off without a guy in my life, but I knew that was a big fat lie. I just needed to find the right guy.
"So Karina, want to go for a drink or something?"
"Huh?" I questioned as I looked over at him.
"You know it's late, and you look like you could use a drink. I'll treat you to a few rounds of beer or wine or whatever you want. I know this good bar downtown, and it can be part of my apology to you."
Wow, this guy was willing to take me to a bar and buy me drinks. Maybe I shouldn't have cursed at him in Spanish earlier, I thought. It was true though, I needed some drinks.
"I'm willingly to go for some drinks. Be warned though, I am a heavy drinker, City Boy."
He got up from the couch and walked over to the door and opened it. "Come on then, Karina," he started while I got up from the couch. Then I heard him mumble something that sounded like, "I like a feisty girl by the way." I wasn't sure if that was what he actually said though.
"What did you say?" I asked as I came up behind him.
"Oh nothing you should be worried about," he ended before taking the lead out of the building.
Damn, I wish I knew exactly what he said.
So I was back in disguise with my hood up, shades on, and hat on. Surprisingly not many people were at the bar. I mean it wasn't that late, midnight at the latest. Well, I didn't have to worry about anyone finding out my identity, but then again it was a bar. I highly doubt mid-aged women and men would've cared who I was.
The bar tender was giving me a dirty look though. I think he thought I was going to rob the place or something. Yeah, like I'd want to rob a bar when I was a famous actress who had her own fortunes. I had to admit the place was nice though. There was a foul smell of smoke in the bar though.
Anyway, I was sitting at the bar, alone. Mako had decided to leave me for some friend of his. Yeah, maybe he wasn't as nice as I thought he was. Then again his personality kept switching and I just wanted it to stay the same.
At least he bought me five beers before he left. I was on my last one and I still felt fine. The bar tender gave me a dirty look about that too. I guess he thought I was drunk. He didn't know my drinking history.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I spun around. There was Mako with that dumb smirk on his face, but I knew I was in for something. I know we only knew each other for a few hours, but it felt like we knew each other for years.
"You ready to go home, babe?" he asked as he leaned one hand against the table behind me. His face was inches away from mine.
"Babe?" I was hoping he was kidding. I think my cheeks were flushed.
"I'm kidding," he joked as he let out a laugh. I let out my breath that I didn't know I was holding. "Cat got your tongue, Karina? Oh, it's just me, and you're blushing," he informed as one of his hands touched my cheek.
"I think I just got a fever or something," I lied.
I saw he took a look over my shoulder and the smirk on his face reappeared. "You seriously drank all five beers? You didn't have to drink all five. I'm guessing you're drunk now and that's why your face is so flushed." He took a step back and allowed me some breathing room. "I guess I have to play babysitter for you, and let you stay at my house for the night since I have no idea where you live. I'd ask you, but you'd probably say the wrong address."
I was going to say I was fine, but if he thought I was actually drunk then let him think that. I knew I could have some fun with it. I did play a drunken girl in one of my guest appearances on TV so I had practice before.
"Carry me," I pouted as I held my arms out for him.
"Fine," he huffed. He grabbed my hips and pulled me up against him. I didn't know why he was carrying me like…that, but I wrapped my legs around his waist and threw my arms around him neck. "Don't get used to this, I'm only carrying you to the car," he said as he began to walk.
I wasn't exactly comfortable with how he was carrying me, but it was only to the parking lot. I rested my head between his shoulder and neck, and I could smell his neck. He was wearing some sort of cologne. It smelt kind of like an amber scent. I was too busy smelling his neck I failed to realize we were at his car.
I jumped down from his grasp, but when I sat down in his car my head felt kind of funny. It was kind of like the feeling I got after a bad hangover, but I wasn't drunk or at least I don't I was. He quickly got in on the driver's side and drove us to his house. After a while the pain in my head subsided.
Once he stopped driving and was in his driveway, I got out of the car. He led me to his front door and opened it up. He turned on a light and I had to admit that he had a pretty nice house, for a man.
"Ok, so follow me and I'll show you were you'll sleep for the night." I followed him up his staircase, and while we were walking I just wanted to touch him. His muscles were so taunting through his shirt.
He opened up a door to reveal a pretty simple room. Bed, table, dresser, and some other simple items. I walked over to the dresser and placed my shades and hat on the table. Next thing I took off was my hoodie and threw that on the dresser. I mean what did I have to lose? He already knew who I was.
"So do you want the door closed or not?"
I have no idea why I did what I did next, but he thought I was drunk so I could get away with it. I walked up to him, shut the door behind us, and I pushed him against the door. I never realized he was so tall until I was right up against him.
"Umm…Karina what's wrong?"
I stared into his eyes for a moment before I took further actions. Next thing I knew my lips were against his neck. I heard and felt his breath hitch as I sucked my teeth into his neck. There was no turning back.
