Wanting to do a o/o with my new character// Closed, but lurk if you so wish

"Well, what do…." Realization hit him right then and there, and he groaned lightly.

"Ah, you finally got it, yes?" She pulled out an icepack and handed it to him.

"What am I supposed to do with the girls now?" He shut his eyes tightly in frustration.

"I can watch them when I am not working, and I have a friend that runs a child center. For watching children during the day?" Manon offered.

He nodded, rubbing his eyes. "That would be great. Thank you."

"It is nothing. You seem to have found yourself in quite the predicament, I am just glad to help."

"There should be a bag of peas in there."

She nodded, pulling out the peas and walking over, pressing it gently to his cheek.

He put a hand over her's and winced at the cold.

"Should I have wrapped it in a towel?"

He shook his head. "I'm fine. Just stings a little."

"That woman has a good arm, I will give her that." She snorted, in a very un ladylike way.

He shrugged. "She used to play softball."

"Ah, that would do it. Pity, I kind of liked her."

"Please don't do anything, I don't want to make the situation worse."

"I know when to bite my tongue, Eli."

"Thank yo-" He yawned again, cutting the sentence short.

Manon sighed. "You should go back to sleep."

There was no argument there. He continued to hold the icepack to his face as he walked to the couch.

"Do you wish for me to leave? I do seem to be causing problems."

He shook his head. "If you want to go, you can, but I'd like you to stay."

Manon slipped out of her shoes and sat back down on the couch. "I will stay then. I am sorry, though."

"It's fine." He laid back down in his previous spot. "You're worth it." ((He's getting up that romance scale

"Another notch up." She said, cheeks turning pink.

"Aw, you're blushing," he said, reaching up and lightly touching her cheek.

She reached up, catching his hand with hers. "It happens from time to time."

"Oh, so it isn't anything special?"

"I did not say that. It does seem to happen most around you."

He smiled, closing his eyes.

"Go to sleep, Eli. We have to go get you a suit tomorrow and set up an interview."
