Valene wasn't use to this kind of treatment it was truthfully sweet and endearing to her. She was enjoying the way that Jack practically seemed to take the situation to heart and had even settled at the table when he had asked her to take a seat, she moved to take the offered chair pulled out for her and settled down. " Thank you." She couldn't figure out why he was being so kind to her; it was actually a nice change after the way she normally got treated from some. Most just feared her presence though and that usually drove her crazy. It's why she also kept her distance unless it was someone whom she couldn't avoid such as those that called for her help. It was good that she didn't know what was really going through Jack's mind if she had it would have been a horrible moment.
Watching Jack step toward the counter, she couldn't help the feelings of love and endearment that radiated through The Pit Stop. As she glanced at the couple behind the counter, she smiled. Watching them it was a pleasure to see someone so in love with each other. For a moment, she had to wonder what it was like. There had been a fellow angel long ago that she thought she was in love with, but it had seemed that it was not meant to be at the time. When she had taken the banishment to earth as she had and sustained it; she had lost track and even now it was hard for her to remember him. Her gaze trailed over Jack's form, and she had to fight to stifle her smile that she felt was surely stretched ear to ear upon her features.
When Jack finally returned to the table, she glanced at the tray seeing that he had gathered a little of everything it seemed she smiled seeing that there were Tea and Coffee. Though she did enjoy coffee, she also enjoyed tea and seeing as how earlier in the night, she had coffee the tea would be more welcomed to her for the time. She pulled it to her and smiled as she inhaled the steam from it. Was that a hint of chamomile? Perhaps she had just found her new favorite place. Pouring a little cream into her tea and a bit of sugar, she sipped it lightly. "Mmm this is wonderful. " One of the pastries pulled to her, as well as she could smell the apple and cinnamon that surrounded her in the air. Glancing up to Jack she tilted her head when she noticed he was not moving yet to eat. " Oh please don't make me feel like I'm a pig eat with me?" she did not know he was doing it to be gentlemanly, but she did scoot herself a little closer and lightly brush her hand on his thigh.
"I'm glad I met you Jack. So tell me more about you. What do you do for fun?" She wanted to get to know him, so she would ask him the questions that she was curious to know about him.

Jack watched Valene choose her beverage and pull her pastry to her. She was so beautiful and delicate. She had manners, poise and grace, just like the women of his era.
Well, the ones who weren't whores. But he did his best to rid the world of as many as he could. That made him a good man in some ways. Think of the bastard children that never came into the world asking for a hand out. Poor pathetic wretches that ended up thieves and beggars.
Jack watched her sip her tea and was pleased that she liked it. Once she had taken a sip, he could begin to consume his beverage. He took his coffee and lifted it to his lips and sipped it before placing it back on his saucer.
"My apologies dear lady, but in my era, a gentleman never takes a bite until his lovely companion does." he smiled at her with that boyish charming grin that was irresistible. "When you have taken a bite of your pastry, I shall devour mine accordingly for I am completely famished." he had not eaten while in his feverish state, now that he was healed, he was bordering on starving.

Valene watched Jack as he spoke. Her eyes softened, and she smiled. Pushing the pastry tray towards him. " I thank you for the gentlemanly ways Jack, but I love to enjoy someone eating especially after I just took care of them. It lets me know you are healthy I didn't miss anything and that all is right and well. " a nod to the tray. " Just this once I think you can join me at the same time eating as well It would make me happy. " As she finished speaking she turned to her personal pastry and began to eat finally so that he would at least still eat his own.
The pastry was wonderful, and she looked at the counter where the two who owned the shop were. A smile came to her face as she thought about the care that went into the pastries and wondered which one might have been the chef. Finally looking back to Jack she smiled. " How long have you been in New Vegas? " Unsure of when he might have come here such as when it was first developed, or if he was one that came later after it had further established its self.
Finishing up her pastry, she settled back now content her stomach no longer tense and angry with her cause, she was hungry and simply let the surroundings and comfort of the place envelop her. She was thoroughly pleased with the company she had for the time. The tea caused her eyes to closed delicately as she found herself strongly comforted by his closeness. She allowed her legs to shift so that one brushed delicately against Jacks. " What would you like to do after this Jack? Anything you ever wished to do? " she studied him closely and curiously now.

Jack was not going to violate the integrity of his gentlemanly ways. It was one of his trademarks. He was always well known to be a gentleman. It made wanton women easier marks. It also eased his conscience some because it meant he was not a complete monster. He knew it made him intriguing and mysterious as well. Gentlemen were a dying breed anymore. Everyone was on equal terms and no one seemed to know how to treat a lady.
He simply smiled and waited for her to take a bite before devouring his then picking up another.
When is the last time you ate?
Jack shrugges slightly and shook his head in answer to the Wizard. He couldn't remember. He rarely remembered to eat until he was famished.
Two days Jack...Two days...
Sometimes the Wizard really, really annoyed Jack. He didn't need to know the details, he was eating now, wasn't he? "I'm eating." he mumbled between bites. He looked at Valene and smiled. "I haven't eaten in two days, I guess I forgot." He was afterall feverish and sick for the last two days. "Thank you for helping me Valene." he blushed and took another bite. Had she known he had stabbed himself to punish the Wizard, she might not like him so much. It was not very often that he felt shame over things he did, but at that moment, he was ashamed of himself for causing her weakness due to his childish fit. At least he was feeding her and soon he would give her pleasure and hopefully a stress relief. That should make up for it.
He proximity was unsettling because it caused him to be extremely aroused. He looked down at her leg as it made contact with his. "I have been here since 1996." he said absently as he looked. He tentatively laid his hand on his thigh then moved it so that his pinky and ring finger were resting against hers. Her question caught him off guard. "I should like very much to make love to an angel." he murmured softly. His head jerked up and he looked at her wide eyed as he suddenly realized what he said and blushed profusely. "I..I'm sorry, my apologies!" he exclaimed. "That was very rude of me."
Ha! Dumbass!
Some days, Jack wished he could kill the Wizard.

Valene was taking solace in his gentlemanly ways, and it actually comforted her more. Her gaze shifted to him as he ate finally after she had taken a bite, and she noted that he seemed to be ravenous with hunger. Worry creased her brow as he consumed his food and the thought to ask him how long it had been since he ate crossed her mind. He answered her question before she could even ask it. A soft gasp parted her lips, and she shifted closer to him. " Oh Jack." Genuine care and worry written all over her face. Just how long had he been sick? She worried she may be over exerting him too.
" Are you sure you are feeling well now still? I feel like I should have your home in bed with lots of care. I can't get over just a few hours ago I had you deathly sick and in my ER earlier." Her hand reached out to brush his thigh the desire to make sure he was comforted crossed her. Something Valene had a problem with, she always wanted to care for another. Jack didn't realize or maybe he did just how easily he was twisting the guardian angel's strings.
A tsk sound slipped past her lips. " No thanks needed Jack. It's my pleasure. A passion actually if you will. I Love making someone feel better. " Hearing how long he had been here she shook her head. " I was in New York a long time ago. Then for a while I kind of wandered myself. I have always preferred to be closer to people. They are all so wonderful and never fail to surprise me in some way at times." She felt the brush of his pinky and ring finger upon her own thigh. So than when her hand brushed up his thigh, it moved over his own hand. His words and answer to what he wanted caused her to blush as she looked down to the table. Shy at first. " I see. "
A smile played on her lips, and she laughed at his sudden quick apology as he realized he had spoken aloud to her and given away his thoughts. "No need to apologize, but I have to ask." Her voice dropped as she leaned closer to him. " Would the angel you speak of happen to be me?" At that time, her hand would brush his lightly tracing the symbols and circles upon his hand once more. " It wasn't rude; It was truthful you will find I prefer for someone to be straight forward with me." Her gaze now never left him as she watched him closely for the answer to her question.

She actually liked people. These sniveling, lying, cheating, two timing, mean, vindictive, back stabbing, bullying race of douche bags? How could anyone actually LIKE people? Jack hated people. He was almost sad that any had survived.
However, he could not think about that right now since he had just said something that made his balls shrink with embarrassment. He couldn’t lie to her, she was an angel and he just knew that somehow she would know if he lied.
All he he could do was give her the honest truth, even if it sent her on her merry way. He looked down at his hands and blushed profusely. “Yes, Valene, You are the only angel I know and so very beautiful. I should very much like to make love to you.” He mumbled softly. There, he said it. “I should never be rude to you Valene; you are worth so much more than that. The truth and manners is all you shall ever see from a bloke like me from the poor side of town.” He added.
It was difficult for him to ever see any woman as not being a wanton whore in one way or another but all he saw in Valene was purity. “So pure, you are.” He played with the paper doily his cup was sitting on.
You are such a sappy dolt. You know she won't sleep with you. She is an angel and you are a monster.
Jack turned his head in shame from Valene, sure that the wizard was right. But he was glad for her company, even for a short time before he had to give in to the monster within and go kill someone who deserved it.

Yes, she actually liked people she loved them, in fact. She loved everyone with the equality that they deserved. Yes, Even the broken ones. It was her nature how she was made, and he would see that. Having kept quiet while she waited for the answer she smiled lightly when finally, he came forward. He was admitting to her, his attraction and desire.
"I feel as if you are embarrassed to admit such to me." Her hand reached out as she brushed his cheek. " You should not be ashamed of your desire for me. I..." It was her turn now as she blushed lightly and glanced towards the door for a moment. Finally returning her gaze back to him, she smiled. " In truth it's something I have been thinking about as well. I am curious about you Jack. About more than you may think." Her words were innocence though clearly.
For a moment, they both sat there quietly. She noticed his head had turned away from her in shame. Finally, she spoke. " Come with me..." Standing she offered her hand. She didn't know for sure what she was doing for once she was going with the feel of things. Just allowing herself to have a bit of different view. Having finished her tea and the food. She gathered her things to clean up and waited to see if he would take her hand and join her on the adventure she had in her mind.
" I am more than that Jack. I want to show you." Expectantly waiting for him to take her hand while she glanced towards the door. Her thoughts only on Jack and the moments they were spending together.

HAHA! Curiosity killed the cat! The wizard sang.
Jack was very careful not to respond to the wizard but if he had been a tangible creature whom Jack could put his hands around his neck, Valene surely would have run from him screaming. Jack knew the Wizard was just trying to spoil his moment of normalcy. Jack was not going to let him bait him. He would punish the Wizard later. He had his ways.
Don’t even think about it.
Jack grinned, knowing there was nothing the Wizard could do about it. Jack liked pain, the Wizard didn’t. The Wizard also didn’t like smoke. Not from tobacco, mind you, but from a new form of drug called red smoke that had been developed by the Vampires and was actually good for humans. The Wizard always left Jack alone when he was high on the stuff. He also had a reprieve from the never-ending need to kill while he was high. It was just hard to come by. Jack had the credits for it now and if he needed to, he would get some just so he could be with Valene.
He reached his hand up and took Valene’s hand then stood up. “A gentleman always stands when a lady stands.” He quipped. “And I shall follow you anywhere, m’lady.” He glanced at the owner who jogged over to clean up the table, waving them on and telling them to enjoy their day, he had it. Jack threw a couple scripts on the table and waited for Valene to lead him wherever it was that she was going to lead him.
{{Jack will follow wherever she takes him, lead on!}}

If she had known the situation with Jack things definitely might have been different. Then again, she might have been so lost within herself that she once again was or would be delusional enough to try to see the good in Jack. Valene never wanted her past to play with her like that again. It was the whole reason she had banished herself here. The reasons behind her doing what she had been doing for so long. Once he stood and took her hand, she smiled. A mischievous glint danced in her eyes as she gripped his hand with her own. "Thank you." She nodded to the owner who had jogged over and shooed them away. Tugging Jack after her. " Come on." A smile and mischievous glint glowed in her eyes as she stepped out into the light and led him away from the shop. A slight job as she squeezed past people bustling to and from work, or on their daily errands. Excitement sent a shiver down her spine as she smiled back over her shoulder now. Yes, she rushed through the streets. Dipping down back alleys and side areas less traveled. Going into some of the darker parts of town as she slipped into an older part of Vegas a church yard long in disrepair now that even symbols were not there. The building clearly needed to be restored there were empty halls even. However, she didn't stop here. She kept going until finally she slowed down slipping back out into a private area of the old church. Nearby she slowed, approaching a stone wall with wooden gate. Turning to face him, she smiled reaching up to touch his face lightly. Brushing her hand down the side of his cheek, she was clearly thinking. " I haven't brought anyone to here it's a place I like to go to think." Pushing open the wooden gate it showed a garden though long overdue for great care it clearly long ago was part of the living quarters. Pulling him in, she closed the gate behind him. " So I'm your first angel..." Grinning she pulled him further from the gate into the over grown garden kicking off her shoes. She much rather allow herself to go barefoot. "I figure you would like to see the real me." She pulled off her top revealing another shirt beneath it. That was like a halter but backless. Upon her back was the clear outline of her wings as well as the mark of her station. The tattoo of a guardian was on her back right between her wings. A smaller version was as well on her lower hip but this could not be seen. She smiled looking over her shoulder to him. Wishing she could extend her wings, so he could truly see them as they were. Allowing him to see her as she normally was while on earth was something important to Valene. Only the ones she had appeared too in need of help or called for her had ever seen her like this. A slight glow given to her fair skin. She stayed this way for a few minutes allowing him time before turning back. The bare expanse of her belly showed beneath the halter style shirt as she moved back closer to him further more proof she was what she was as no bellybutton could or would be seen. Stepping up there was a glint in her now lighter eyes as fingers trailed up to his shirt. Curling at the neck of his shirt. " I'll make a deal with you Jack. " If only she knew it was probably a deal with the devil, she might have rethought her words. " If you can catch me. You can have me." Clearly, she enjoyed having him with her, but she wanted a bit of fun and a little scare. As she finished those words, she leaned up and kissed him, Nipping his lower lip before taking off further into the garden and abandon buildings. Making sure not to move to fast but, slightly out of reach. Yes, it may seem a little childish, but it had the purity from her of innocence and the racing of her heart. Besides perhaps the predator in him would enjoy the thrill of the hunt. ((Permission to manhandle, and stuff freely. Also added a pic of the gated area to help a little))

Considering Jack had been sick for the last three days with a terrible wound on his leg, whilst he was healed, his body was still recovering and he was not sure he could actually run. But Jack had been a predator for a very long time. Sometimes running was not the answer.
Jack grinned with mischief and followed Valene slowly, ducking behind things and moving short swift distances that didn't require much exertion. He was like a jungle cat, stalking his prey, silent and deadly. His feet didn't make a sound as he moved through the garden with precision and stealth. Soon he had Valene almost backed into the corner of the garden, but rather than pounce, he hid. He was very silent and waited just until she was within reach and made his move from behind.
Jacks arms went around Valene's middle and he hugged her to him, "I caught you.Now you are mine." he whispered and kissed her behind the ear, brushing his stubbly cheek against her neck. He loosed his grip so she could either break away or turn to face him. He didn't want to frighten her. He brought his hand up to her hand and pressed a lock of it to his nose. He had been wanting to smell her hair since the moment he laid healthy eyes on her. "You smell good." he murmured softly.
Jack didn't know what it was about Valene but she seemed to bring the best out in him. He also wondered why the Wizard had been silent since he stepped foot on sacred ground. Could it be the Wizard who made him evil? Could the Wizard be what made him the monster? He didn't know, but right now he felt as far away from being a monster as he ever had in his entire life and it made him very happy.

Valene giggled as she wove, ducked and dodged through the shrubs and growth. It was exhilarating and refreshing. Even though she realized she was being herded to that corner and trapped. She had turned trying to pin point where he was. Her smile never left her face as she felt herself being watched. "Jack? Jacccckkk!?" Calling his name softly followed by her soft laughter. Turning she missed him as she looked everywhere but the correct direction of which he was hiding.
Stepping back further she yelped pleasantly surprised with soft laughter as his arms came around her, and he genuinely surprised her. " Yes, It seems you did catch me. " She leaned into the rub of his cheek against her neck. Turning finally her arms slipping around his neck as she leaned closer to him. Closing her eyes. " Thank you." She blushed and tilted her head down before lifting her gaze back to his face. Her smile formed. "I feel so happy since I met you Jack. You make me smile." Brushing her hand across the stubble of his features. It gave her a tingle of pleasure sliding down her spine.
" Kiss me Jack? I would like to feel your kiss again." Valene innocently closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly so that it would be easier for his kiss. Her hand shifted to brush back through his hair. She was quickly becoming comfortable with Jack and hoped that she would get to see him more than just this day. However, she refused to give up the few moments she had with him before she would be pulled back into the sad reality that she lived each day at the hospital surrounded by so much sickness and death tended to wear upon one's psyche.
