Talk about sparkling off the sun...

Alani looked up when she heard Warren's voice. How had she not heard his landing? Was he sneaking up on her, or was she really that preoccupied with what she was doing? It didn't matter. Alani's jaw dropped when she saw the full effect of Warren's new wings. Well then again she hadn't seen the old ones, so she was taken aback anyway. Very impressive. She couldn't say that she'd seen anything quite like it before. On top of that Warren was smiling at her, and that did strange things to the pit of her stomach. Of course she was attracted to him from the start. If she hadn't of been then Alani wouldn't have propositioned him for kisses in the first place.

But how long ago was that? Months? Weeks? Alani did not think that they would ever get to that lunch he had offered her. But at the same time she didn't think it would be fair to bother him about it. If all they were was a night of some awesome making out who was she to complain?

"Hello." Alani's voice shook a little with a giggle. Her smile was bright when she stared at him. He was like a glowing angel, with the sun flowing rays off of his back. And the sheer metal wings. Alani held out the latest twine she was putting shells on. "I'm making a wind chime. For Sofia."

Alani kind of felt awkward. Her lap was full of everything she had been working with, so standing up was not an option. She was wearing short shorts and a swim suit top in case she decided to abandon her work and go for a swim. And she was barefoot. That last shouldn't be too embarrassing, but her toe nails weren't done. And her feet looked roughened from walking everywhere barefoot. Being a tomboy had never bothered her until this very moment. Shouldn't she be cuter?

"How have you been?"
