Adam blushes slightly as he smiles and takes the two ends. He leans in, very close, as he makes sure to see how he's clasping it. He pays no mind to the scar for he had many as well and each with a story. He clasped it and gently set in on her skin as he drew back just as slowly. His breathing was low and his heart bounding but he didn't do anything stupid, thank the gods, and smiled at her. "You look beautiful...." He says softly as he shakes his head. "It looks beautiful on you...."
Adam leaned forward and folded his hands while his elbows rest on his legs. He's slouching forward as his face is inches from her yet he presses it no further. 'she thinks you're a fuckin' idiot and is only bein' nice to you cause she feels bad for you' suddenly floods his mind in his mother's voice. It feels so painful he closes his eyes while in this position to try and hide it. It felt like an eternity but it would simply seem like an extended blink before he pushed those thoughts back and reopened his eyes. For some reason his memory of his mother was shifting slightly as he sat there.

"You look beautiful...."
Rae turned to face him, not realising he was so close for a moment. It was too late to pull away really wasn’t it as he stared at her so seemingly deeply? She wet her lips, tongue running over the bottom, plush cherry pad. This time Rae hesitates, last time he had looked sat they had been sat in his car; before the vampires, before the walk in the woods. She had reached out and touched his face, stroked her fingers along his designer stubble. But that had led him on, it had given him ideas she couldn’t handle and feelings she didn’t know how to respond too. Rae simply watched him as he watched her, suspended in the moment until he pulled away. This wasn’t a party she knew the dress code for, this wasn’t a world she understood the rules too. Rae was well out of her depth.

Adam leans back as he shifts his legs to the side before standing up, he was too close to her on the ground he didn't want to be rude as he stood. He pets the dog before turning back to her and offers a hand. "Help ya up?" he says with a soft smile. His mothers voice rang in his head once more.
[glow=red,2,300]"Everyone will ask for help but they will use you in the end...."
"Everyone will ask for help but they will use you..."
"Everyone will use you..." [/glow]
This repeats in his mind yet he fights through it, why was the words of his mother coming into thought now and why were they so cruel. He figured he was just imagining the doubt in his mind and his mothers voice was the one he heard so much growing up.
Adam walks over to the window after whatever rae did and seemingly shook more unpleasant words from his mind. He did however feel like he was making it too awkward for his friend. "I think I might head out soon in all honesty unless you wanted me to stay..." He looks back at her in the room, an almost inquisitive look upon his face to see her response.

She let him help her up, taking his hand in hers and allowing him to pull her to her feet. Then she watched him pace a little; like a caged animal he looked like he was in pain, he seemed uncomfortable in his own skin. Rae wet her lips again, teeth catching on the bottom one in her anxiety and she chewed her lip.
For a moment she didn’t say anything but then neither did he, then finally he turned and suggest he would leave. Rae nodded; it was his choice after all. Would she be sad to see him go? Yes, perhaps, but she was a traveller, she moved and worked alone (unless one counted Eli, which Rae often did), but something about this…need to leave…made her feel guilty, like she’d done something terribly wrong. Maybe…maybe she’d been too honest with him too quickly? Maybe she was making the whole things worse because she was awkward and unsure of herself?
Rae looked down at her boots, thoughtful for a moment, then with her thoughts renewed she looked up at him once more and forced a smile; “If you’re sure you’re okay-“ She told him.

Adam chuckled as he looked at his feet. He stayed silent for a little bit but seemed like forever as his mouth hung open for words yet none escaped. Finally words left his mouth as he looks up with a bright smile. "Thanks but I'm never okay...." He says this with a chipper tone that hinted at a deep sorrow. "...it just feels like I am about to make a complete idiot of myself and I figured I'd save you the trouble of throwin' me out." Adam proceeded to look back down slightly as he put his hands in his jean pockets. "Granted I never been in this situation before..." He removes his hands and motions with his hands in a round movement. "Friends and not bein' awkward that is...." he laughs playful as his hands fold across his chest. Adam walks over to his jacket as he pulls out his book and pen. Carefully he scribbles out his email address and tears it from the book.
Adam carefully puts the book and pen back as he extends his hand with the piece of paper in it to Rae. "H-here's my Email... I don't have a phone... but I usually check that at libraries and such.... or phones I find...." He laughs at the last comment. "....and again.... Thank you...." His smile returns once more.

Rae sort of stands there, a little dumbly. She’d never been ‘dumb’ in her life. She was a smart girl, had (despite feeling the need to be incredibly popular) always done well at school. She always had a smart thing to say and she could usually talk herself out of any situation. Now there was this situation and she didn’t know how to react, she didn’t know what to say. Watching him as he moved around the room she is silent as he hands her a piece of paper. “You’re not making an idiot of yourself.” She whispered, taking the paper from him with a small nod.
“It was nice to meet you Adam.” Rae said, gently, pausing for a moment before she did something unexpected and very un-like Rae. She leant into his body for a moment and gave him a kiss on her cheek. Her mouth was soft against his skin and the touch was brief before she drew away from him and took the paper with his email upon to.

Adam flushes red as he smiles with desires to do more yet remembering what had happened to her. He hates it, he loaths it, but he can't do anything about it. His mother's voice rings in his head as he bows graciously and starts to head out.
Adam opens the door but pauses in the door way as he turns his head to the side and down. "I know you don't need it... but I will always be there if ya need me...." He turns his torso so he can look at her with a bright smile. "I'll protect ya..." With a wink he is gone through the door. Adam's truck roars to life as if begging to floor it.
Any attempt to stop him would be met with a soft smile and a wave but he is determined to leave. Something felt wrong for him, he felt odd and had no understanding of it. He wanted to stay in the room, to just stay there for who knows how long but oddly enough he also felt that he had to leave. Like he was going to be stupid or something. He did what he could to push the thought to the back of his mind as he would start to drive off. For a long time he had the mental image of her, in his truck, just smiling out the window like they had done earlier that morning.
