diamonds are a girls best friend

“Exactly, you got it, babe. Keep that in mind, always.” She teased but still rose one of her eyebrows at him. Carmen moved her other hand on top of his, her fingers tracing over the back of his hands. “Now that means your arms around me, kissing my neck…kisses on my cheek.” She started to list on her nails starting to trace up his arm. Of course she couldn’t help but tease him a little, “I would say give me kisses, but if we start we might not be able to stop. I don’t mind giving them a show, but still.” She teased. Carmen was so glad that someone she spent so much time with also loved tropical places. “Just means we’ll have to come here more often, hm?”

It was quite the relief to her that he enjoyed her affections. Even if she always claimed how much she loved attention it took awhile for her to trust someone enough to be affectionate. "I can't wait, You know I'll love any chance to enjoy your touch." She looked around again once they were stopped, "It is beautiful." Carmen looked up and smiled when he opened the door for her, "Oh I should have a few options." She got out her smaller bag that carried her jewelry. "Not as much as I normally do considering I planned on wearing slim to nothing." Carmen teased before she got out what looked the most like a combination of an engagement and wedding ring. "What do you think?" She asked as she started to put them on her ring finger.

Carmen nodded simply, “Of course you do, if you aren’t how am I suppose to survive?” She said staying serious for a moment before chuckling. So she happily kept his hand in hers, hoping she could keep it that way the whole drive there. “The one thing they are good for, huh?” In a way she almost felt like she should thank them. “You know how much fun I have playing things up. And who knows…we might need to be extra affectionate to play the part.” Not like they weren’t any way but she’d love any chance to have his hands all over her. She shrugged, “They can get over it, I think they would be far too distracted by your good looks to even notice. And us together? They will probably swoon on the spot.” She knew people would think whatever they wanted to think and she didn’t care. “It’s beautiful here, anything with a beach is easily my favorite place.” Carmen looked out the window and took in the sights.

Carmen kept the pout on her lips for a moment, her thumb brushing over his knuckles when he took her hand. “I can’t help it that I need attention to survive.” She teased before finally giving him a small smile. “Who knew assholes had good ideas, crazy.” She let him lead the way, “Exactly the way I want it to be. I want it to be nothing but us for a few days.” Her smile growing when he took her hand and kissed it, loving any kind of contact they could have. Her eyebrows rose at what he said, “Now you may just be onto something. Imagine just how spoiled we could be if we told them that.”

Carmen chuckled softly, she didn’t mind being a distraction. If anything she enjoyed knowing that she had some affect on people. It was a confidence boost that she loved to get. She got lost in the kiss as well, her hands moving to touch as much of him as she could. But huffed a little when he parted from her. “I suppose…” But there was still a little pout on her lips as she stood up. Making her way to grab her smaller bag as she took her suitcase. “You know I am quite excited to see this hotel. I love how secluded you say that it is.”

“Even if I did there is no way they could compare to you.” Carmen complimented, he always had a way of making an experience stand out. “Can you blame me? Being so close to you…our bodies pressed together.” She said softer, loving any chance that she could to tease him or make his mind wander. To say she was excited for landing would be an understatement. When they did and pulled over to the hanger she unbuckled herself and took off the headphones. Her smile growing when he pulled her over, she settled back on his lap again. Easily getting lost in the kiss, one of her hands resting on his cheek and the other arm wrapping around him.

Carmen knew she needed to be better at recognizing to her surroundings. But her job was important too and so were the photos that she was getting. It was quite easy to get lost in it and the moment. When it was her whole life it was hard to think of much else. Almost everything she did had to do with it or maintaining her image.

"Shit headed self?" She asked, raising her eyebrows, that was an interesting way to talk about yourself. "Sounds like you've been through the ringer." Carmen took a few steps closer and put her phone into her pocket. "I mean it looks like you're trying to be better or at least you are self aware. That is a good step or something isn't it?" In her eyes she felt she was always perfect, but she did learn about a lot of people who wanted to improve themselves. "So what brings you out here? Fresh air?"

Starter for: Anyone

Over the years as Carmen has spent more time in the city she has found more and more favorites. It took quite a bit of trail and error considering she was quite particular about how she liked her food and drinks, but this cafe was one that she enjoyed. One she especially appreciated with the cold weather. She ordered herself a latte along with a pastry, thinking he deserved a treat after a long day. But what she didn't expect was to hear a young boy talking to her, she glanced down with a small smile. "Well hello you, how are you?" She asked before she heard another voice, waving her open hand. "Oh he wasn't a bother at all, if anything it was a nice surprise. He is very sweet."

Carmen couldn’t help but feel a blush on her cheeks when he called her reactions cute. “I certainly hope not I like being able to be this special.” The fact that he took the time to teach her and show her the ropes. He could’ve just had her sit in the passenger seat and have some small talk. But he wanted to give a unique experience to her. “Maybe a little.” She teased before laughing a little. “Can’t say this compares to anything else I’ve done before.” Something she didn’t even think to put on her bucket list. A little smirk grew on her lips at what he said, “I certainly hope so, I already got quite a few ideas during your lesson.” She nodded and buckled herself up, still watching him. Not being able to help but still admire the view. A sigh of relief when he landed. “About time, now I can get more of that attention.” She was partially joking but really hoping to enjoy more of his touch and focus.

“Even if I did there is no way they could compare to you.” Carmen complimented, he always had a way of making an experience stand out. “Can you blame me? Being so close to you…our bodies pressed together.” She said softer, loving any chance that she could to tease him or make his mind wander.

Her eyebrows rose, a little smirk growing on her lips. "Have I ever told you how much I love your ideas? You are full of so many great ones." She complimented, "I think I already came across the perfect dress for that." Just the thought of him buying something to rip off made her weak. The fact that he'd not only spoil her but show her an amazing time, she felt extremally lucky.

Carmen didn’t realize it was possible for people to make her feel so special, she spent years building her confidence and self worth. But recently she’s really warmed up to that feeling. “I do? Have I told you enough how great your compliments are?” And somehow she could tell they are genuine. “Well I like these lessons much more forget the rest.” To say she was surprised though would be an understatement. When she felt the jet moving and knowing she was helping with it, her breath caught in her chest for a moment. But the breath left her when his hands moved over hers. Normally the warmth of his touch would normally distract her but this time it comforted her. “When I can get over freaking out.” She teased but after a few minutes she felt herself relax, not feeling as worried as before. But she was relieved when he took back over again. “As long as I get to sit on your lap again soon.” She flirted, smiling at their kiss. Carmen got up from his lap and went back to the copilot seat. Having a feeling she’d need to get ready for landing.

Shopping had always been one of Carmen's favorite past times. Even if she didn't buy anything she just loved fashion. Getting to see what people liked, what was new or what she could use to start a new trend. So whenever she had free time she loved to explore stores in the city all from the high end stores to local boutiques. She found herself at the latter, trying on some jackets and sweaters.

Aleksei was definitely someone who liked to dress for his wealth, anything designer he could manage to get, he was getting. Some may think he was cocky with it all, but he was proud, he came from nothing and made something of himself, so why not spoil himself?

When Carmen heard the familiar voice her eyes lit up, instantly turning her head to him. “Less you say, hm?” She asked before finally turning to him, not being able to help but take a moment to take him in. It almost made her forget where she was for a second.

“Their loss my gain.” She said with a smile, “I get to see you in action and in that amazing suit.” Sounded like quite a win to her, in more ways than one. It was great to hear that she was special, she loved the validation. A lot more than she ever liked to admit, when she always acted like she didn’t need people as much. But she loved the compliments and validation. She chuckled a little, “Maybe it was just for special occasions, but at least you get to experience it now. With the best student.” She teased, “And a great teacher too.” He deserved all the compliments. Her eyebrows rose when he moved her hands, she took a deep breath. “Woah, I couldn’t imagine having actual control of this.” She looked back at him, “May not be the best idea if we want to get to that island.” Carmen laughed a little herself, “but still this is amazing,” she looked around at all the buttons and switches. “The fact that you can do either is fascinating. I don’t know how your head doesn’t hurt at the end of the day.” To say she was amazed would be an understatement.

Having a feeling she’d need to get ready for landing.

Carmen nodded, “They should know how lucky they are. I’m shocked they just arent too distracted by your good looks.” There was a softer smile, “Living the good life and your dream what a combo.” She feigned innocence once she heard his groan, adjusting on his lap just the right way again. “Stop what?” Her voice soft as she looked over at him. But as soon as he tickled her sides she broke down and laughed, “okay okay!” No matter how tempted she was to continue teasing him. “How special am I then? I think this is the best way to learn.” She was actually surprised with how much he had to keep in mind while flying. Of course she knew it was very intense and involved but there were so many elements. A happy hum leaving her every time he kissed her. Not being able to help but turn every once in awhile to press kiss anywhere she could. “This is crazy but in the coolest way ever.”

Carmen had heard her fair share of compliments in her life and happily so. But this has also meant that she’d learned when they are serious or not or even when someone just wants to gain something. She knows the ladder all to well as its a game she plays herself. Issac though is one of the few she doesn’t do that with, she can trust him. “One of the many things you do that make me glow,” she teased with a growing smile. “I think that proves it to them, you have the power.” Confidence was key in so many parts of life. “You live the best life.” She happily settled on his lap, not being able to help but press closer to him. “I can adjust a little if it’d make it easier for you,” partly not minding a chance to tease him. Humming softly when his arms wrapped around her, “I don’t think there is any better way to learn.”

His little laugh was contagious, she laughed too. She ducked her head down for a second before looking back at him. “You are making my ego soar you know that? It is hard not to feel anything but confident around you.” Of course she rarely didn’t feel confidence but still. “Those are seriously the worst. That is why you got to hold onto the good ones and keep them close.” Decent people were always tough to find. “Well it is always much more fun when I get to enjoy it with such great company. I don’t think I’d take as many much needed breaks from work if it wasn’t for you.” She was actually surprised when he agreed that she could be closer to him. Of course she knew in the moment he was still somewhat in work mode. But was over the moon to get some attention. She unbuckled herself and happily accepted his hand, moving to settle on his lap. “I think this is much better.” She sighed happily and settled against him. “You know I think you’d be a great teacher.”

Carmen waved her hand, “The technicalities,” she teased before laughing, “But I see your point.” Playfully shrugging knowing it would be so out of character for her to not like hearing about herself. Maybe it was self centered but god she loved it. “You know be very well.” He really did though he always knew all the ways to compliment her. Dammit, he was really good at it. “Issac…you meet so many people and I’m still at the top of that list? What an honor.” She almost swore she may have a slight blush on her cheeks. “You know you are quite wonderful yourself. It is always so nice to know someone who understands how to enjoy life. And your amazing looks are a great bonus.” It felt hard to top his compliment though. “So what I hear is that I can be a little closer now?” She rose one of her eyebrows with a smile.
