[RICKY ALVAREZ]

■■■ Ricky had found his presence gracing the local city zoo for Alice had wanted to talk with the red haired outlaw. Why? For what reason? He hadn’t known all he knows is she wanted to talk and he hadn’t anything better to do so he figured why the hell not. So Ricky had suggested they chill out at the zoo and she could tell him whatever it is that she wanted to tell him. So Ricky with not else to do and feeling rather bored and annoyed at the fact that he hadn’t been doing anything decided to walk. Though he had left early so naturally so he arrived at the zoo an hour before their meeting time, or so he thought.

So since the red haired outlaw had arrived an hour earlier than their meeting time he had found his toned figure sitting down upon a bench near the entrance to the zoo. The bench seemed rather old but sturdy, dark brown colored wood. With Ricky’s toned figured sitting down upon the bench, tight black shirt with a black hat, loose black and white basketball shorts and every day loose sandals he waited for the blond haired beauty. His headphones blazing ‘Drop the World’ into his eardrums while extending his legs and allowing his very figure to relax.

The day had been rather nice, sun glazing down upon the beautiful island. Enough for anyone to get a strong tan if they decided to sit or lay down and tan. Ricky love the heat the sun gave out, it was strong, warming, comforting and could make even the most depressed individuals feel good about themselves. So while the outlaw sat upon the bench his sharp optics started racing around where he sat. Kids walking in and out of this very zoo, mothers or fathers of course with their children while all Ricky could do was sit and wait.

With the eccentric outlaw sitting upon this bench the man felt rather bored and let out this slight “ugh” while he looked up at the azure sky that resembled a pretty clear ocean. While looking up upon this very deep filled blue sky Ricky started singing what he had been listening to. Which was rather explicit and not someone one should be singing or rather rapping while around massive amounts of children. The first time the red haired Ricky had said the F word several children that had been walking out towards the exit of the zoo had heard him and repeated the outlaw.

Ricky may have had headphones on but hearing the word fuck was something he could easily hear. So hearing such a word those sharp deep filled desired eyes looked over towards the children that walked upon the white bricked pathway. When looking over at the kids Ricky could see the parents to these children had gotten upset with their children but they seemed to look over towards Ricky in disapproval. All Ricky had done was give out the slightest smirk, he had gotten that look from mothers and fathers quite often. Rather, he got that look from anyone past the age of forty.

With these noted children reaching quite the distance from Ricky now, since they kept walking, Ricky had turned his attention somewhere else. Towards where he figured Alice would walk so they could head into the zoo, talk and enjoy their time for whatever it was worth. When those sharp optics looked over towards the direction his eyes couldn’t see the beautiful blond female. Noticing he couldn’t see her he had let out the slightest huff and simple words “Ugh, where are you Alice?” Little did Ricky know that again he was early but hopefully she’d be there soon cause at this point Ricky was just thinking about causing trouble.

She had important things to say to this man actually, but as soon as he replied back to her saying he would come she hardly could contain the joy. Normally, she’d feel cautious, not because of his willingness but because her brother would routinely tell her when she was younger that men like that should be avoided at all costs. He wasn’t so bad. They shared ice cream together, they hung out, watched some movies, but there was always a catch that through her off. He always needed money some time around. Sometimes it was in small amounts and other times it was a big one and he never told her why he need it. Or at least a reason that wasn’t repetitive and vague. He always said he’d pay her back, but he never did. Now, Alice wasn’t stupid despite being a blond. She was just being nice, and whenever he was near with that rugged smile of his she would melt and give him whatever amount of money he needed. Her allowance was to most someone’s yearly paycheck, but she knew she had to stop.

He had to be taught a lesson at least…and it was putting a toll on her. Was she just a meal ticket? Just a little angel that would throw money out to a ‘lucky’ man that just happened to befriend her? He was her first friend, one that wasn’t like Cocoa. He could speak; he could express emotions that weren’t just barks, jumping and tail wagging. He was an actual person…and yet she felt sort of trapped actually. Without him, she would cry and feel that same loneliness set in like a disease…and he was her temporary all-cure that made her feel wanted.

She came into the zoo wearing a buttoned white shirt with the sleeves folded neatly. The shirt had a ruffled collar. A flowing black skirt accompanied her and simple black and white flats. She was meant to be comfortable; her looking nice was only a bonus actually. Her ears picked up singing, a song that he liked and knew it was him. She could recognize his deep voice anywhere. She walked over to him with the grace she was known for at home and bowed apologetically.

“Sorry, were you waiting long?” She smiled, to others they were the most mismatched couple. He was a ruffian, a street smart man and a troublemaker, and the girl with him was an angelic princess that seemed to be the exact opposite. Her blue eyes looked into his for a moment before averting their gaze.

“I just wanted to talk, it…won’t take too long?”

[RICKY ALVAREZ]

■■■ Ricky had sat upon this bench as the beautiful blond woman had appeared, bowing and being kind. Just how most rich people acted and in all honesty it disgusted Ricky. The whole polite rich manners, maybe it was outta sure jealousy because he grew up in a whore house and never knew what it was like getting what you wanted. Well getting what you wanted because of wealth instead of stealing. Though Alice was kind hearted also and she hadn’t seemed self consumed which was appealing to Ricky. Granted he was self assumed but that’s because he never realizes it and needs someone to tell him. Which in turn would make him feel bad and attempt to make things right.

However as Alice bowed Ricky had given out the slightest smirking chuckle, he found her approach funny because it’s not something you’d see from a street smart outlaw. Rising to his feet Ricky had approached Alice and given her a hug “It’s all good, I came early cause I was mad bored.” Letting her go, granted if she allowed him to hug her. Ricky had stood there just a couple feet from her. He stood there in front of her while she talked and Ricky shook his head slightly “Nah, fuck that. I wanna spend the day with you but you can tell me whatever it is you’ve gotta tell me.” Ricky hadn’t the slightest clue what was really going on.

Moving his toned arms over towards his ears the red haired outlaw had put his hands upon his headphones sliding them off. However when sliding them off he put them around his neck and one could easily hear the explicit song blazing through the headphones. It was rather loud for any one person but Ricky loved the noise, he grew up hearing large yells and screams often. So he was rather accustomed to large sounds however Ricky had turned around now “Lets head in to the zoo, aight?” Ricky was rather thrilled just seeing how a tiger acts. They always go after what they want with sheer determination without allowing anyone to get in their way.

Though he hadn’t seen any at the present moment as he just started walking, figuring that Alice was following as they headed over towards the entrance of the zoo. “So tell me, how you been?” Something that he grew rather accustomed to, always asking someone how they were. It was the greatest conversation opener ‘cause you can take the conversation anywhere after that. Even when someone’s having a bad day they always seem to say ‘good’ unless the person they’re talking with is close to them.

Entering into the zoo Ricky had been quite familiar with the zoo itself because he liked watching how the lions and tigers acted while being caged. T’was weird yes but it was just something he liked doing since he closely related himself to a lion or tiger. His jungle being the city and he being the king of the jungle. Though while continuing to walk he put his hands against the back of his neck while he kept his sharp optics upon Alice while listening and if she stopped talking he’d start talking again “You know you look mad silly with those clothes.” Ricky chuckled slightly, maybe she hadn’t maybe she had but she looked ten times wealthier than Ricky because she was but that had been beside the point.

Either way he just continued walking upon this white bricked pathway with Alice and talked as he had figured she wanted. Maybe they’d stop and look at some animal or maybe they wouldn’t but if she wanted to talk, that’s what she’d get he figured. Since he was rather bored today he hadn’t wanted her to leave as company was better than being alone in the city no less.

She felt like her eyes were glued to the ground, and the sounds of his sandals sliding on the ground with his footsteps towards her alerted her further. His embrace was unexpected but heartedly welcomed with a very apparent redness burning on her cheeks. Her slender arms rapped around his toned, masculine torso and she closed her eyes and smiled. She had no idea how vulnerable she was…how she had turned so soft for just one rugged man that knew how to handle her with his own flair. His natural response of wanting to spend time with her made her even giddier inside. Thousands of butterflies gathered in her stomach and flew about in frenzy and a happy smile etched itself on her lips. She felt like rocketing into the sky wasn’t enough to show how happy she was, but then the thoughts of what she had to say to him; she was quickly reminded, wasn’t making her happy too much.

He slid off his headphones and the song burst out into bloom, her ears picked up on it and she frowned when he let go of her. “I can’t believe you listen to that kind of music all day long…” She really just thought of it as noise…noise she didn’t like hearing. She grew up with stringed instruments and lovely voices spurred by their emotions not…that. She happily latched to his hand, noting the definite size difference. His was rough while hers was virginal in smoothness. She didn’t care if people thought of them as a mismatched couple, hell she secretly might’ve wanted this to come true actually even if her brother would forbade it in a heartbeat.

They headed into the zoo and he asked her how she was. In actuality, after all the time they’ve spent hanging out…he probably thought she was some frail little thing that couldn’t take care of herself. Her blue eyes trailed to the ground again. “I’m okay. But…I don’t sit around and do nothing. I don’t want you to think I’m lazy or anything. I train…a lot. Try to be the best I can be…because being weak to me isn’t an option. But because of that I haven’t had a chance to go out and actually live like you do.” She looked up at him finally, he was so tall…and she had a hunch that he had to be a pyrokinetic. That made her smile inwardly…

Wind feeds the fire well…where do I fit in your hectic world?

“You’re my first friend. I like that you’re not caught up in the wealthy world either. They hardly know anything about how to live either. So, uh, thank you…” Her sweet cheeks burned before she pointed to the Big Cat cage to go see them. She loved how beautiful they were…Tigers, Lions…their coats were gorgeous. She wished she could have one as a pet, but she loved Tigers the most. She didn’t know how Cocoa would stand for that though…eh.

She furrowed her eyebrows and immediately pouted at his next comment. Her hand fiddled with her skirt. “W-What does that even mean? This is one of my simpler outfits…and it’s comfortable.” She protested, but in the back of her mind she was just waiting for him to ask her for some money to ‘borrow’ and never return with the same amount given or at all.

Sitting down on another bench she finally mustered up her courage to finally set things straight and ask. “I’m wanted to ask where all the money I gave you went. You said you’d pay it back, but you never did. I know…it might be hard, but still! You always keep asking for some and I feel like…like some bank for you to withdraw from…”

[RICKY ALVAREZ]

■■■ While Ricky had been walking with the beautiful blond princess he realized she had taken a seat. His sharp optics laying upon her subtle figure he awaited a word from her. He figured she just wanted to sit down, so while he stood, music continuing to blare into anyone close enough to hear the vocal lyrics he just waited. He had thought about saying something, anything to kill this slight silencing moment but nothing seemed to really come out. Though he was outgoing, and could carry a conversation even with a deaf man something just seemed different. Like a note being playing several seconds later behind the rest of the song. Just… something wasn’t right and Ricky could tell from a mile away.

Sharp eyes still laying upon hear beauty the red haired outlaw had parted his smooth lips. Ricky was about to ask if something was wrong before Alice started speaking. She spoke with a slight discomfort with a strong backbone. Something Ricky honestly hadn’t known she had. She always seemed like the slightly but amazing cute shy rich girl not the strong backboned leader that everyone would follow. Granted Ricky would have her back but that’s beside the point, her words, they struck Ricky hard. The slight shocking “uh” had exited his lips though it sounded like the sound came through his toned chest.

Like when someone was told they were wrong about a situation and the only thing they could do was give out a deep voiced moan or something of the stated sort. Ricky stood there, eyes looking over towards the right as children and families of the older bunch alike continued walking and enjoying their time on this beauty felt day. The toned man continued standing there, he was at quite a lost for words when he wanted to tell her so much. It was quite clear he wasn’t the richest man in the world, hell some were positive he was a living breathe thief because he was.

Though his misfortune wasn’t an excuse, she had every right to question why he hadn’t paid her back. Ricky hadn’t even realized just how much he was taking advantage of her, his selfish intentions weren’t noticed but when she said that, it hit him, hard. He started realizing he was taking a good amount from her and it seemed like he really was using her. His right arm moving back over towards the back of his head, running his right hand against his red hair while his eyes traveled over towards her beautiful complexion once again as yet another noise like the earlier was made from his lips.

However his smooth placed lips parted while attempt to explain himself, though he wasn’t really attempting to explain himself. The only words the really seemed to wanna come out were sorry. “You’re not a bank, you’re a friend and – I just didn’t really consider it ya’know?” He said with his deep tone though not because he was angry just his voice was naturally deep. “I just figured it really wasn’t a problem for you; well not as much as it’d be for me. But I’ll get you your money back, on the double.” Still standing there in front of Alice while his optics had looked down Ricky wasn’t sure what else he could say.

Those sharp eyes looked over towards the right once again, he was horrible with this sorry shit and he seemed to be saying it quite often. Another slight sound from earlier had been made, the slight of disproval though he was disappointed with no one but himself. “I’m horrible with this sorry shit and I seem to be saying it often” The youthed outlaw had stated while those eyes continued looking down the right walkway while people continued enjoying their time. Honestly he had hoped Alice would say something that’ll get rid of this rather odd moment. He hadn’t expected anything like this from her but he’s glad she had said something cause he’d have never noticed if nothing was said. The outlaw was just a big kid that needed some help with showing consideration for the one’s he cares about.
