Shortly after his fingers had begun their ministrations in her flyaway hairs, Julianna ducked out from under his arm. Okay. That was a sign. No hair touching. Got it.
Owen stopped for a moment in the hallway, turning to face her, he pinched the skin at the bridge of his nose and seemed to be trying to think very, very hard. “You know, I’m just.” his hand fell to his stomach, “My brain gets so fuzzy when I’m hungry.”
He held his arm out, indicating she should walk along with him, “Why don’t we settle this over lunch. Maybe a good ole’ carb load will jog my memory. I’m a big guy. High basal metabolic rate. Huge caloric demand here. It’s a big responsibility.”
Owen led her out of the building and across the street to where his car was parked in the garage. His hand went to his pants pocket to make his car chirp at him. “See? Can’t even remember where I parked half the time.” He followed the sounds of the chirping until it led them to shining black Camaro, the latest years’ model.
“There she is.”
He even made a show of opening the passenger’s side door for her. When he got in he gazed at Julianna pointedly, rather proud of himself that he had her in his car. He settled a pair of reflective aviators on his nose before he started the car.
It probably goes without saying that Owen drove like an asshole too. Sped too fast through the parking garage and around corners. Accelerated at the tail end of a yellow light to avoid having to stop. He seemed, however, to very much enjoy driving the car with that kind of cocky posture characterized by having just one hand poised casually at the top of the steering wheel.
Owen brought Julianna to the local college pub. Greasy bar food with an enormous selection of beer. The waitress led them to their booth and Owen let Julianna pick the side she wanted. He looked for a moment as if he would sit across from her at the booth - that was, in fact, where the hostess set his menu - but no, Owen slid into the seat next to her. He made room for himself by scooting her over with his hips.
