Lina was at the mall in fifteen minutes, but she got hung up wandering around. She had no clue where this coffee shop they were meeting was at! She finally found it on the second floor, after she had almost gave up and called Tyler for help. Spotting him outside the shop, she smiled and adjusted her clothes quickly, to make sure she looked presentable. Was this technically a first date? She figured it could be, and she wanted to look good. She had worn a cut-off shirt so that he could see she was wearing the belly-button piercing he had helped her pick out, a silver bow which she matched with silver earrings. She thought it was cute, if not a kind of plain outfit - but that was how she liked to dress anyway.

Walking up to Tyler, she came up beside him and tapped his shoulder, a smile upon her lips. "Hey, Hot Topic boy, right?" She reached out her hand for a handshake, looking him over for a split second. The tattoos were hot, and he looked like the perfect representation of a Hot Topic employee - which was, coincidentally, just her type. Adjusting her bag on her shoulder, she took a step towards the door of the coffee shop. It smelled wonderful - like freshly ground coffee beans and chocolate chip muffins, perfection. "Shall we head inside?" she asked, grinning.

Lina laughed at the "belly button girl" comment and smiled. He was funny - and pretty cute. She was already liking him, just a little... and by "a little" I mean a lot. She had a thing for guys like him - long, shaggy-kind of hair, totally hot tattoos, the skinny rocker-boy body. It just appealed to her. "I'ts Lina," she said, shaking his hand back. He had a strong grip and slender fingers, she noticed. "Nice to meet you, Tyler,"

Entering the coffee shop, she liked that he had held the door for her. There had been this one guy she had went out with that refused to do anything polite like that - he didn't even pay the bill for the first date. After that, she vowed never to date another inconsiderate male. "Thank you," she added, "For opening the door." Heading towards the coffee bar counter, she smiled at the woman behind the register, then turned turned to Tyler, wondering if she should just order. Deciding that was best, she turned back to the woman and decided, "I'd like a bottle of Mountain Dew and... mmm, one of your chocolate chip muffins." She grinned at Tyler. "And he'll take..." she waited for him to order.

Lina practically glowed with happiness when he said he'd pay. That was pretty kind, considering it wasn't really their first date. "Thank you," she said, once again. "Since you paid..." she said slowly, thinking it over. "Does that make this an official date? Or are you just gentleman enough to pay for the lady?" She offered a coy half-smile and put her hands on her hips, tracing the one visible line of her tattoo with her finger. She wondered if he had noticed it - but probably not, since it was almost always hidden. She liked having a sort of "secret" tattoo. Snickering to herself, she wondered if he'd ever see it - it was pretty low.

After their food was handed to them, Lina walked with him to one of the comfy leather couches seated on the far wall. Sitting down, she curled her legs under her and leaned on the backrest, sipping at her soda. "Is that your niece?" She asked, pointing to Tyler's wallet. "She's adorable."

Lina smiled, glad that they had established it. An official first date. It was pretty cool, and he seemed like a nice guy. When he mentioned that it was his daughter, she only paused momentarily as the thought registered. "Oh," she said, leaning in to look closer at the picture. She looked like him, that was obvious. "Well, she's such a pretty baby," She said, thinking about it. It wasn't uncommon for teenagers to have kids it was just... surprising that Hot Topic boy had a baby. He seemed so hardcore, she couldn't even imagine him raising a kid. He had to be a good father, though, if he had custody of the baby - unless... was momma still in the picture? "Are you and... um, Violet's mom still...?" she trailed off with the unasked question, wanting to know. She already felt like her heart was under pressure - this guy seemed so perfect, she didn't want to find out on the first date that he was still with his daughter's mother.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Lina looked at her knees, poking the muffin that sat in her hands. She felt bad for Violet - she knew just what it felt like to be abandoned by a parent. It kind of sucked to know that her dad didn't even want to stick around. She could only imagine it would be worse for Violet, growing up without a woman in the house that was her actual mom. "Sure, later." She smiled and sipped at her Mountain Dew slowly, thinking of what to say next... She had nothing.

"Um, want to play a game?" She blurted out, laughing at Tyler's om nom sounds. He looked like a freak but it was adorable. "I played this one time at a party, it was hilarious. It's basically called "How Seductively Can You...?" and the point is to do the most normal tasks and make them look seductive. Um, probably not something to do in public, but I mean, I don't really care. So, I bet you I can eat my muffin more seductively than you can eat that cookie."

[Lina Rey Parson]

Lina snickered at his failed attempt to be sexy. "Hey, it was a good try," she said, patting his shoulder as if sympathetically. Then she picked up her muffin and slowly, delicately peeled the wrapper from around it, trying her hardest to look flirty and seductive. She looked up at him through her eyelashes, batting her eyes and biting her lower lip - it sooo had to work. Then, after the muffin was "successfully naked" she stuck her tongue out and licked the top of it, grabbing a chocolate chip and pulling it out of the muffin so that it was balanced perfectly on the tip of her tastebuds. "Ah? Ah?" she gestured and laughed, tongue still out, eyes sparkling with happiness. Swallowing the chocolate chip, she grinned. "Victory! I think that was pretty sexy, right?"

[Lina Rey Parson]

Lina shook her head in silent laughter. He seemed impressed - if only a little - which made her somewhat proud, oddly enough. When he said he was the winner, she rolled her eyes and playfully elbowed his side. "No way," she protested. "I'm pretty sure there is no muffin on the world that has had a better sexual experience. Besides, you were too seductive and your cookie fell apart!" She giggled, and eyed the mushy mess he had left on the tray. She watched as he downed the rest of his coffee, and glanced at his tapping knee.

"Well, Mr. Twitchy, do you want to walk around the mall?" She asked, standing up with her half-eaten muffin and soda. "I can walk, talk, and eat at the same time, you know." She smiled, shouldering her purse and flipping her long, curly waves over one shoulder. "I've been meaning to go to Spencer's recently," she said, thinking of where it was in the mall. "And that's only a few stores away..."

[Lina Rey Parson]

Lina walked into the store, tracing her fingers along a shelf full of fuzzy hats and stuffed animals. They were cute little Skullanimals, the ones that look like adorable skeleton cats and dogs. The hats were the popular fuzzy hats with raccoons or something on top. Nothing really appealed to her, but she liked looking around. "Oh, you applied here? So did I," she chuckled. "They didn't think I looked right for the job, though, as obnoxious as that is." She turned around when he asked what she was getting, and decided to tease him. "Oh, I was going to get a new vibrator," she said, faking seriousness. Then, she let a giggle slip out and busted out laughing.

"I'm sorry," she chuckled. "I know I keep cracking jokes, I'm just messing about." She explained, and headed towards the jewelry shelf. "I was thinking another belly button ring." She ran her fingertips along the barbell she had in. "What do you suggest?"

OOC// He should probably know she has intentions of messing around and looking at lingerie.

[Lina Rey Parson]

Noticing he only laughed a little at her vibrator joke, Lina blushed, and looked down, embarrassed. Ouch, wrong thing to say on a first date, Lina! She chided herself, wanting to take back what she said. But she had thought it was funny! Maybe it was just a little too awkward to talk about, she didn't know. She looked at the selection of jewelry, seeing the little dream catcher one he had pointed out. It was cute, she actually liked it a lot. When she said it would keep the nightmares away from her vagina, she could have died laughing. Snickering, had to cover her mouth with her hand to keep from looking too unattractive while holding back her laughter. "Oh my gosh, Tyler!" she shook her head. "That's too funny. Oh gosh, now I feel like I should get it."

She looked at a few more piercings, and then began to walk towards the back of the store. It was so full of bright neon things that just screamed "sex" and she wondered what Ty thought about it. This definitely wasn't your typical first-date store but... well, they weren't your typical first-date, right? Venturing into the lingerie section, she spotted a few cute bra-and-panties sets, and noticed one pair of underwear with a dreamcatcher on the ass. It said something witty/sexual about dreamcatching in pink sparkly letters. Picking it up, she held it out to Ty and raised an eyebrow. "Maybe I should try this on, to match the jewelry?"

[Lina Rey Parson]

Giggling, Lina made a peace sign with her hands. "I could even get a hippie headband and ... a tie-dye bra!" She pointed to one on the rack. "Yup, then I'll be all hippie-fied and ready to go, right?" She grinned and reached out to grab the tie-dye bra and another pair of dreamcatcher panties. "I'm totally trying these on," she winked. "You should try those on, too," she teased, and headed for the changing room. Slipping out of her clothes, she realized it was probably inappropriate to do on a first date, but she didn't really care. Pulling up the underwear and getting on the bra, she admired herself in the mirror. "Oh my god, Ty, this is ridiculous."
