Jean fell easily into his arms, trembling at the contact and face darkening a cherry red. Her head rested lightly against his chest, the sound of his heart pumping away was oddly comforting...up until he brought up dating. It didn't seem possible and stupidly she felt herself glancing around for any sign that she was merely a witness to this exchange instead of the actual girl being asked out...in Speed's arms.
The redhead swallowed, fumbling for a decent response trying not to feel his fingers lightly pushing her hair from her face and the warmth slipping from his frame on to her own. She was suddenly so cold, but she knew it was from excitement more than the weather. Her room was always too warm anyway. "I would...like that", she said, finding the courage somewhere inside to allow her gaze to meet his cobalt one.
