( Shes Smart But She's Dumb ) - Tumblr Posts

"Been called worse," she muttered back as she rolled her eyes at the weirdo comment, but it made her smile nonetheless. "That won't be necessary," she waved her hand off at his offer to wear his extra pair of shoes. "I just need to sit for a while and I'll be good to go. And trust me, I won't break a leg. I've ran in higher heels than these. I'll be okay." The sweater was already enough, she wasn't going to take more from him tonight. "Charlie once called me Bryace Dallas Howard in Jurassic Park when I provided it to him. I'll be just fine." That memory sparked a bit of sinful pride, there was nothing she liked better than proving people wrong and herself right.

"A zoo? So we're just upgrading now, aren't we. First a farm, now a zoo." It was said with a hint of laughter in her tone and voice." At the request of telling him more about the pink lagoon, her smile faltered if for a second. A corner of her lips twitching down as the thought of her stepmother and the things they did, she did, at the forefront of her mind again. But it was but a fraction of a second before it twitched back up and she shook her head but lying a little. "It was a long time ago, I don't remember much. It's called Las Coloradas, its pink, flamingos and other animals love to eat in it and it looks great on sunset when they're in it. You should see it sometime maybe one of them will imprint on you and you get to keep it."

A deep frown came her face now, upset at herself for ruining it for him. "I'm sorry," she said sincerely. "If you get a flock it'll keep them from being sad while you're away?" It was a feeble attempt to try and not crush this dream of his. "Oh, a zoo and a farm! You know, I've never given it a thought as to what my favorite animal is." Or favorite anything for that matter. When everything was always changing, it was best to not attach to anything. The idea of a favorite animal seemed silly but she couldn't help but think about it and smile at the memory of one waddling around. "You know what, I think that, they might be my favorite animal. I'll hold you to it! I want a whole colony of penguins giving me cute little rocks when I come to visit."

"Hmm, sure you aren't." Her eyebrow arched but it was sarcastic, playful. In the time she had come to know him, she knew that he wasn't the type. It was the very reason that she had accepted the water bottle without a second thought. He was a good man. It didn't mean that she wouldn't tease him though.

"I'm loving it. It's beautiful, what I've seen so far. I haven't seen much. Work has taken a lot of my time but I'm planning on making some time. And no, he hasn't. Yet, " she added at the end trying to not make him look bad in front of someone that knew him. "He did say we'd get to see a lighthouse in a bit. Are there any places you'd recommend I see?" At the thought of her drink coming with a flower lighting up in it, her eyes grew wide like a childs, the logical part of her brain telling her to not be as excited about it shut off at the moment. "Oh, yes please.

"Great!" More time to see the lighthouse was actually something that excited her. "So what is this lighthouses name and why haven't you told me about it sooner? " Then leaned over the table and in a slightly hushed tone, hoping he'd get the joke. "Is it where you take all the girls after you get them drunk and full?" Then leaned back in her seat with a smile taking a fry from the basket. " Dad warned me about guys like you." Another lie, he dad never warned her about anything.

As she chewed it, she took a moment to look around the restaurant and take it in. She was sobering up every second and then something registered. "So, you and your family come here often? Growing up, I mean? " The thought of Wally and family coming here, growing up here seemed like such a nice one. The regularity of having a favorite place, a favorite thing to eat there, celebrating things together. "Or just like a once-in-a-while kind of thing?" She tried to act like she didn't care as she grabbed another fry.

Why on Earth would anyone not like spending actual time with her. That he'd never know but still her face was gonna haunt him. The giggle made him pause as the melodic sound of her laughter rung through his ears. Instead of asking her what about the things he said made her giggle, he decided not to. The pure joyous ring of giggles were enough for him to keep wanting to hear that sound. He did, however half whisper weirdo under his breath holding absolutely no bite whatsoever. "Yeah, no creeps."

"Then the lighthouse we shall see. Though remind me to give you the extra pair of sneakers. I don't want you falling and breaking a leg with those heels."

The rapid fire questions made him half smile. A few things were clear. She was in a relaxed state of mind, even more so around him. It felt like her walls that she had normally were coming down. The electricity that shot through him as their hands touched made him avoid her gaze. Nodding his head he cleared his throat and chuckled, "Hmm you may have a point. Maybe not Flamingos. Or maybe just open up a zoo in Mexico and go visit them there. A pink lagoon? Now, that sounds like an interesting story. Do tell." Just like she liked hearing stories he'd ramble on, he too, liked hearing her talk. "Maybe Flora. Flora the flamingo. I like illiteration. Well, now you just made it sad." He chuckled softly, "Maybe not a good idea to have them." A penguin made him smile. "A penguin? Really? Is that your favorite animal? In my zoo and farm there's room for penguins. Maybe I'll give you one to see it waddle your way."

The laughter rang out as his eyes crinkled with amusement. "No not at all. Just wanted to let you know I'm wasn't getting you drunk." He got shy when Karine came around and started talking. Chuckles escaped him as he shook his head. She kept his hand on his shoulders already knowing his order.

"How are you liking it? Have you gone sight seeing? Has he taken you? You got it hun and welcome to our humble island. Now eat up those fries don't eat themselves. Food will come out in packs. Wonderland punch, now would you like a light up flower with it?" Wally laughed and that earned him a light smack to his shoulder. To Liz's question he shook his head. "I put in the order while you were getting dressed," he looked up knowing how it sounded. "In the hoodie. I called it in so it'll be delivered in a few I would suppose. So, we're free to go to the lighthouse."
