Rediculously expensive, -sigh-, maybe I'll save up enough money some day

And ah, I'm sure you got some good ones, though

Elaina listened to their answers with a few, polite nods of the head, quite interested in what they had to say; also, it amused her to hear their wonderful French accents, though, of course, she loved Christien's the best - as his had a different effect on her. "Wow, that's a long time." She eventually commented when they'd all finsihed speaking. The long friendships made the time Elaina had known Christien seem even shorter, so she was a tad bit jealous at the connection they all must of had with eachother. "Can I get any of you a drink? Hopefully the bartender will speak some English, and if not, I'll manage." She smiled at all of them and waited for their responses.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

It'd be worth it, I promise

Maybe. I'll take a look for you tomorrow.

"Well, really it should be one of us buying you a drink, that's the polite way isn't it?" Mathieu said with a small smile, "But I see Christien beat us to it so, the next round instead. For now, since you offered, I'd love a small beer, thank you for asking."

Jean said, "Well, alright. I'll have what he's having, thank you."

"Not for me just now, thanks. I just had some coffee before I left," Suzanne replied.

Christien smiled down at Elaina and said to her, "So I'll teach you what to say. It's easy. So, when you ask, just say 'Je voudrais deux bières, s'il vous plait' and then to say thank you, just say 'merci'. Okay?"

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, I'll be able to go...in an estimated five years. xD

And alright, thank you

"Je voudrais deux bières, s'il vous plait and merci." Elaina repeated quietly, making sure she was going to remember the phrasing correctly. Then, she turned to smile at Mathieu and Jean to acknowledge she'd heard their request. "Alright, well I'll be right back." And with that, she headed off towards the bar, having to wedge through a few bodies before finally stumbling up to the bartender.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Alright. Not too awful, I guess, considering the distance

Christien proceeded to chat to his friends while Elaina was gone. His friends already seemed to think that Elaina was very nice. And Jean and Mathieu both made the point in saying, 'She's very pretty, too, Christien' and such. Suzanne had other things to say to him, involving his relationship. While Mathieu and Jean engaged in their own conversation, she stepped up to talk to Christien. "You're different with her, I can see," she told him. "And I can see in the way you look at her, whenever she does anything. And especially q

when you looked right at each other.." Suzanne was the girl who always talked about his relationships with him, though they had never actually been out with each other-- they were too close friends for that. "I've never seen you look at anybody like that before.."

"I'm in love with her. It's crazy. It hasn't been a hugely long time, we're both just passionate people but.. I really do. And she's saved me. You know what I mean by that."

In the meantime, the bartender spotted Elaina. He smiled and said to her, "Bonsoir [good evening], est-ce que je peux t'aider? [can I help you?]"

Well, I'm off. G'night

 

[VideoStar95]

Yes, well in five years I'll tell you how my trip goes xD

And goodnight!

Elaina offered the bartender a friendly smile while he spoke to her, also pulling the tight fabric of her dress down as she felt it must have risen up. "Je voudrais...deux bières, s'il...vous plait." She spoke as confidently as she could, yet had to pause and think in the middle to recall the correct words; she hoped he would recognize her as foreign and not just some retarted French woman. He seemed to understand, or at least enough, as he dissapeared for a moment under the counter before , holding out two beers to her and gave her a wide grin, of which she returned. "Merci!" She exclaimed, triumphant that she'd managed it, and took the beers from him. The bartender seemed amused with her enthusiasm and said, "Vous êtes les bienvenus." Elaina assumed he was just acknowledging her thanks, so she just gave him a litle wave before returning to Christien and his friends. "Here you are," She said to Mathieu and Jean, handing them both their drinks; still grinning.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Mmkay. You may as well save up a little extra money and come and visit me along the way, since it's not expensive at all I'll either be in Germany or still here, methinks =D

Google translate, by any chance? xD

The bartender chuckled to himself as he turned to the drinks shelves behind him to resume cleaning glasses. Of course, he could tell she wasn't a native French speaker. But she tried, and she got it right, and he appreciated that. Christien smiled widely at her when she returned with the beers and said to her, "I'm proud of you," he chuckled, "Maybe I won't have to speak in English now that you know when I'm asking you for a beer-- that's all that matters in our relationship now, after." He wrapped his arm around her again and handed to her her drink from earlier. Jean and Mathieu took their beers and said, "Merci, Elaina," and took their sips gratefully.

Suzanne looked at the couple and asked them, "So you guys met after the plane crash, right? Was it a romantic meeting or one of those totally embarrassing ones?"

[VideoStar95]

Haha I would totally do that xD I just have to get a job...lol

Nope, it's this Computer Widget thing that translates specifically French. Because I met this French guy, as he's staying at my friend's house for some foreign program, and he was teaching me some phrases, so I wanted to double check them.

Elaina laughed at Christien's comment before leaning her weight on him, swaying a bit to the beat of the music. It took her a few brief moments to contemplate Suzanne's question, but eventually she answered, "Well, my arm had been trapped on one of the parts of the air-plane; I didn't have any feeling in my arm for a few days. But, Christien and I met when he helping me out from under the part, so I guess it wasn't very romantic. It was kind of embarrassing, though, since I was completely helpless in front of this gorgeous, nice French man." She grinned and sipped her drink.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Interesting. I've just never heard that phrase before. But it does work.

"It's hard to be romantic when you've just been in a plane crash and are stranded on a deserted island," Christien added with a chuckle. "I don't know, I mean, some parts afterwards were a bit more romantic, when we got to know each other a bit more. I mean, it was the typical tropical island with the amazing sunsets and white sandy beaches. But, overall, I'd agree, the meeting wasn't exactly romantic. I almost forgot how to speak English or even any language. I must have looked a bit drunk when I was trying to ask you if you were alright."

 

[VideoStar95]

Hmm, well that's good then Lol I can't wait to learn French this year!

I'll be talking in French randomly all the time.

"Oh, some parts after we're definately romantic." Elaina turned her head a bit so she could throw Christien a suggestive look, smirking slightly. "You did seem slightly intoxicated, but I liked your accent so much I doubt I even cared. And, your amazing skills of getting down coconuts was simply brilliant."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Me and my friend do that all the time! We have these lengthy conversations in French with each other that barely anyone else understands. It's amazing.

You should let me know if you want to learn any cool phrases or need help with anything

"You see. All a man needs to be attractive is a French accent and the ability to retrieve fruit from a tree," Christien said, and everyone shared a chuckle. Just he and Elaina truly knew the lengths to which their activities to be classed as 'romantic' had gone. The others would be surprised to know what they'd done together-- Christien had always been very clear about waiting for the right person for that kind of thing, and they couldn't possibly assume that Elaina was that person, since they hadn't known her long.

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha I can't wait! My two best friends are taking French as well so we're just going to speak it non-stop! And confuse random people! Or pretend we're from France.

And yeah! That'd be awesome xD

"Oh, definately. That's all I look for in a man, really." Elaina laughed along with the others, hesitating slihgtly before taking his hand and tugging on it gently. "If you don't mind, I'm going to have to steal Christien away for a dance." She glanced back at him, raising an eyebrow and waiting for his approval. She didn't want to force him to leave his friends or anything like that.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

The accent's hard to get. But it's so much fun <3

Christien set his drink down on a nearby table and said to his friends, "Excuse me, you'll just have to let her steal the very unwilling me for a dance." He chuckled, smiling down at her, before letting her take him to the dancefloor.

 

[VideoStar95]

I almost flipped out when I heard Quinton's (that was his name) accent. I was like "marry me!" Lol

Elaina tugged him out on the dance floor, evidently ending up in the direct middle, surrounded by moving bodies, and laughing people all around. "They seem so nice," she said to him, referring to his friends while she wrapped her arms around his neck and swayed her hips along with the time of the song.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Does he really spell it like that? It looks really funny xDD

I bet, though. I looovvee the accent . It's so sexy <3

Christien wrapped his arms around her, casually moving with her to the beat of the music. He smiled, nodding in agreement. "They're my very best friends. I'd trust them with anything. I knew they'd like you," he said to her. "I wasn't surprised at all. They were so angry after what happened with Florentine. And you made me happy again. So they would be supportive."

 

[VideoStar95]

Well, I probably spelled it wrong..IDK I'm friends with him on Facebook so I'll check later.

And I know! I was like "Can I PLEASE have a hug?!" The Spain guy was a little shy but he was gorgeous too.

"It seems like you and Suzanne are the closest," Elaina mentioned; not that she was jealous, no, nothing like that, she'd just noticed. "Some day you'll have to meet my friends, I'm sure they'd obsess over you. It'd be quite funny actually." She leaned a bit more forward, placing her cheek on his chest.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Fair enough xD Wait, he's friends with you on FB? I should be a stalker and check him out xD

Aww, Spanish guys are amazing, too <3

"Well, Mathieu and I are best friends in terms of a guy to guy relationship. But there are some things you just can't talk about with guys. But Suzanne will talk to me about anything, so I guess we are the closest in many ways. We're too close to ever be anything like that, if you get what I mean," Christien said. "But then, at the same time, you and I have only known each other for a short while compared to my friendships with them. And yet you know me in ways noone else ever will."

 

[VideoStar95]

I was totally a stalker, I looked at almost all of his pictures...I know, but whatever xD And yeah you should!

And totally! He had like bright blue eyes and black hair. Also friends with him on FB!

Good morning! <3

"Ah, I understand what you mean. I'm the same way with my friend, Austin." Elaina brought her arms down so she could wrap them around his middle as a slow-song came on, pressing her body against his. "I kind of regret doing this whole game thing, because I want to kiss you so bad right now. But, we are, so, I'll try and manage." She laughed softly and shut her eyes while they moved together.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Haha. Oh, Evan, you make me chuckle xD

Good morning, indeed =D

Christien chuckled and said, "I'm regretting it, too, to be honest. Plus, in front of my friends, it's a little weird. They'll eventually realise we never kiss and then wonder what it's all about." He stopped speaking for a moment, still swaying with her to the music. "Well, I mean, I suppose I did kiss you earlier. If you really want to, you can and I'll let it slide, since we'll be even."

 

[VideoStar95]

He smokes, though, so every time my friend and I would come across a photo of him with a cigarett we'd flip out. Eventually I was like "This upsets me more than it should" XD

I pulled an all-nighter...and it's scary that I'm not even tired...at all

"Hmm," Elaina considered his very tempting offer, looking up at him with her always bright hazel eyes. "I suppose I could; for the sake of your friends and their opinion of us, of course." She grinned, as that wasn't the case at all and tilted her head up, replacing her arms around his neck; where they were most comfortable. Without saying anything else, she pressed her lips quite hungrily against his.
