(Ok can I just say I audibly gasped when I clicked on the first link, so thank you for blessing my eyes with that sight XD He's gorgeousss. With that, shall we start?)
I really shouldn't start another rp....you know what I'm gonna anyway (Open/one-on-one)
(Thank you so much XD! I'm ready to start!)
(Ok! XD Sorry about disappearing for so long, I promise I'll try to get a starter up asap, though it likely wont be until tomorrow right away in the morning)
(It's fine XD)
Casey took a deep breath as she looked up at the store in front of her. Stealing wasn't something that bothered her anymore, especially when she desperately needed something to eat. The nerves before she did though were something she didn't like, especially when they grew as she walked into the store and started strolling through the aisles. She didn't look like someone who would steal, dressed like most others in normal everyday clothes, though her movements were much more thought over when she slipped things into her pockets or even sometimes daringly slipped someone's wallet from their purse. Anything she took wouldn't be noticed until much later, and she never took from anyone who looked like they couldn't spare it, even with those two rules her job was more than easy.
Her mind was focused as she tucked things into the baggy sleeves of her sweatshirt or the pocket so they wouldn't show, especially when she grabbed bigger things she couldn't hide so it made her look like another customer.
Kade wasn't sure if he should draw attention to the girl who was stealing. He had been doing his daily visit to the place, still trying to hook up with the cashier, and had seen another girl sticking some stuff in her pocket and looking around cautiously.
He shrugged. He'd never been that much of a rule follower, and as long as she didn't get caught, he would leave her be.
Although… she had the right idea. His days here were limited, so he was enjoying this place for as long as he could before he was recognized. He had already been here for a few days, almost a week, so he knew it was coming. He had already managed to score a few girls for the night, and so he was pretty satisfied with himself.
Casey grabbed a few more random items and made her way to the cash register once she decided her job was done for now. Even with her stealing going unnoticed so far, she kept glancing around calmly as she paid for the items with cash from one of the stolen wallets. She didn't plan to stick around this place for much longer anyway after this, not that she had a plan to go anywhere else. Planning wasn't something she did, most of the time she just made her way from place to place on whatever gut feeling she was led by. So far it worked too. And long as there was someway to get to her next stop everything would work out.
She didn't even spare a glance around the rest of the store as the purchase when through and she scooped up the bag, shoving the stolen wallet back into her pocket and hoping beyond all belief that if someone spotted her they weren't going to become a snitch.
That hot cashier girl wasn't here today, so Kade was bored. He leaned against a shelf, watching the thief with narrowed golden eyes. She was crafty, he had to admit…
When she stole a bag and a wallet, he chuckled, straightening and sauntering over to her, hands in his pockets. "What's up, sweetheart?" He drawled, an amused smirk curling his devastatingly handsome face. He jerked his head at her pockets. "I'd buy something if I were you," he commented amiably, as if talking about the weather. "Nobody really ever comes in here and doesn't buy anything. If you bought something small and cheap, you'd look less suspicious, and no one would try to scan you." He shrugged. "You'll need to show a receipt of course. And you might want to do it quickly, because the person missing their wallet will notice pretty soon that they don't have it." He smiled, but there was no warmth in it. "Just some friendly advice."
She was well aware of the gorgeous guy as he walked over to her..no walking wasn't the right word, he was almost sauntering over, like he owned the place. He looked terribly out of place, though not because of his clothing, he just looked much to hot to be somewhere as simple as a store. Casey didn't say a word as she let him run his mouth, hiding the scowl she wanted to give him and instead returning a very fake smile of her own. "Thank you for the brilliant advice, genius." Her tone held nothing but sarcasm, even if she was trying to act like a polite customer, "I do know what I'm doing, so if you would, go bother someone else. I have things to do." She grabbed the nearest item off the shelf and tucked it under her arm, thankful that the item she grabbed was no more than a box of sugary cereal. At least she would eat these.
"Your welcome," Kade said, well aware that she was being sarcastic, but pretending to take it at face level. "I make it my goal in life to give people life saving advice." He sent her one last smirk and, hands in his pockets, roamed away. "It would be a pity for someone with a face and body like yours to get caught," he called over his shoulder as he left. "Just sayin'."
Her cheeks heated at the final comment but she didn't bother to hide it as she rolled her eyes and headed to the checkout. She couldn't trust that the gorgeous guy wouldn't snitch on her, meaning her trip was cut very short as she waited for the cashier to scan the cereal. Right after swiping a wallet was the time she had to move the quickest since wallets were much easier to notice gone than other things like jewelry. Casey couldn't move fast enough once she paid, walking to the door at a calm pace and listening for any shouting or commotion that would signal her time to bolt.
There was no commotion…yet. Kade had left the store, to do what, he didn't know. He stood outside the store, smoking a cigarette and staring moodily at the overcast sky.
"Hey? My wallet is missing!" Someone shouted.
"So is mine!"
He glanced over at the door, looking towards the noise, and rolled his eyes. He hoped the hot girl had left, but honestly, it wasn't likely. Well, he had warned her. And anyway, it was best not to steal too much at once, or people would take notice of it.
"And there's my cue to leave." She mumbled, tucking the cereal under her arm and glancing around for any convenient way to disappear without having to run. Casey spotted the hot guy from before outside the store and just for the fun of it, she mock saluted him as she passed him on her way away from the store. Right now she just had to hide her stolen goods or even better just get out of the town completely. She flipped her hood up and made use of her height as she rounded the corner and looked for the bike she had been using to get from place to place. It was gone. "Shit!" She cursed, ticked that some prick had taken the bike that she had actually bought. Now she was out of luck.
Kade raised an eyebrow at her as she saluted, amused smirk twitching into being on his face. When she cursed, he snickered, walking over to her and leaning against the wall. "Watsa matter, sweetheart? Need a ride?" He looked amused, golden eyes sparkling with mischief. He scanned her up and down with a practiced eye, not bothering to disguise his look.
"Not from a creep like you." She snapped, "I'd prefer to not get a ride from someone who would willingly sell me out." Casey looked again for her bike, growing more worried as she knew the people looking for their wallets would soon come outside to investigate. She pulled the stolen wallets out from her sweatshirt pocket and made use of one of the best parts about wearing a bra, stuffing them in her shirt and knowing at least then it would be harder to check if she had them.
"I'm not a creep," Kade said, not at all offended. "Although I have been called that before." He shrugged. "And I didn't sell you out, but whatever." He started to walk away, hands in his pockets.
She couldn't believe that her bike was actually gone as she watched him walk away and contemplated her choices. "Wait." She called, cursing herself but jogging over to him, "What do you want in return? You don't seem like the type to offer a free ride." Casey knew it was a terrible choice to trust him but she needed to get out of town before she was caught. It was nerve-wracking to still be near the store with all her stolen goods but she had to wait for his answer before she decided to go with him or bolt.
"Nothing," Kade said, shrugging. "Just helping a fellow thief in need. Let me guess, you haven't been in the business long enough to have Plans B and C?"
"My plan B was to hoof it, having a plan C just means you're expecting things to go wrong." She replied, glancing back at where her bike was supposed to be and the slight dip along the side of the building that her bag was tucked in. At least she hoped it was still there. "Can you hold this for a second? I have to grab something." She pushed the cereal into his arms and motioned that she would only be a moment before quickly making her way to where she had been before and grinning like an idiot when she saw that her bag hadn't been taken. Before she could forget, she picked it up and quickly settled the backpack onto her back before making her way back to the mystery guy.
"Well, always expect to fail. That way, if you do, you won't be disappointed." Kade rolled his eyes as she shoved the cereal into his arms. What was it with people here? Always wanting something from him. He shook his head and sighed.
When she came back, he handed her the box. "Well, since you don't need a ride, I'm off." He winked at her and gave her a two-fingered salute.
Casey just glared at him. There was no way she was going to beg him for a ride and since he seemed to be set on being an ass anyway, she decided internally to just go with her plan B. "Prick," She muttered, swinging her bag off her shoulder and stuffing her stolen goods into it as quickly as she could. The wallets she buried under her things, zipping the bag back up only moments before people came out of the store to look for the culprit. She didn't waste a moment as she set off at a quick walk away from the store, pulling her hood up to hide her face. Being in town only a few days didn't help as she tried to decide what way to go, eventually going with her gut and turning to the left towards a more residential section, a lone hotel and apartment buildings that seemed to gradually change into houses.
(Do we want to do a time skip?)
(Sure, any specific time/interaction between the two that you want to skip to?)
(Hm… maybe they could both be trying to get out of town? Like, the police have caught up to them?)
(Sure :) do you want to start off there or should I post again to get it going?)
(Um… I can, if you want! You posted last, after all! Unless you had an idea for it?)
(Nope lol, I have no set ideas)
(Okay! Give me a sec, and I can get something up!)
Kade revved the engine of the stolen motorcycle and sped up. Police sirens wailed behind him, and he sped up, weaving through traffic with the ease of an expert.
He cursed. Why hadn't he been more careful? He had spent so much time here he was getting sloppy. It was sad.
He pulled to the side of the curb, and dropped the vehicle, darting into a nearby store to hide.
When Casey heard the siren, she figured they were for her. After all, she had been swiping things for the past few days in this town. A small secondhand store was where she was currently doing her 'shopping' when the sirens reached her ears. She was actually shopping to pair with her swiping, picking out a few pieces of clothing she liked and could replace her few pairs she carried with her. It would be suspicious if she dropped her clothing and bolted, but staying in the store much longer wasn't an option either. The second option sounded less dangerous though and so she stayed, watching the door like a hawk.
Surprisingly, the first person she saw rush through the door was the prick from the grocery store. Ah, he was the one being chased. He had surely recognized her though, she wasn't exactly hidden in the aisles of clothes. Great. This was going to be great.
