she prevails !

@prvlls liked for a starter

“Just because you don’t look like somebody who you think is attractive doesn’t mean you aren’t attractive. Flowers are pretty, but so are sunsets and they look nothing alike.“

“At least the last thing they’d see would be you,” Dean says, laying on the charm. Dean looks up at where the stars should be. It is beautiful, but he soon finds himself staring down at the blonde. It was amazing how excited she got over her home. Dean wishes he had a home like that. He hadn’t been to Lawrence in so long…

“You know, in the rural cities,” he starts with a knowing smile. “The stars are almost so bright that they can light the sky. Maybe one day you’ll get to see ‘em like that.”

His hands grip the railing as he shakes his head. “But being on the road… I never really get to slow down & enjoy it like this.”

        ❛    Wow. Tacky.    ---    Kinda liked it though.    ❜        Summer gives him a grin and a shake of her head, blonde waves soon bouncing around as she turns her head to stare out at the skyline before them. It was truly beautiful, and sights like this made her appreciate her city even more. She was glad she got to share it with someone who had never seen it before. It almost made everything more magical. 

He doesn’t want to admit that she’s right. That paperwork is far from the job that keeps him going everyday. But instead, he lets her keep thinking that. Her excitement is contagious. After all, he’d never seen too many wonderful sites riding around… usually they were too busy trying to make it to the next case to slow down.

“Kansas,” he says truthfully this time. “Lawrence to be exact.” 

He smiled as he realized where they were going.” You usually walk strange men here late at night?” He jokes.

        ❛    Ooh, Kansas. Nice. Never been.    ❜        As they walk alongside one another, Summer can’t help but to let out a laugh at Dean’s comment. It was nice to know he had a similar sense of humor, that was easy enough to tell.        ❛    Yeah, all the time. They don’t suspect that I’d ever put them in danger, you know? I don’t really look like the type.    ❜        She pauses for a moment, letting her words sink in  ---  though he can probably tell she’s joking  ---  before smiling widely up at him.        ❛    Be grateful I’m giving you a tour, Dean. New Yorkers aren’t supposed to be nice.    ❜        It’s a blatant stereotype, and it’s actually not all true, but she loves feeding into it to people who are from out-of-town. 

“And what makes you think I’m not a paperwork kind of guy?”

But then she stands, readying to show him everything right now. And just like that, he’s more than just interested. At first, she was just pretty. Now, he’s intrigued to see what she’ll show him and why. With a little chuckle, he picks up his coffee, standing as well. 

“You’re something else, you know that?” He finally says, shrugging his jacket back on. “And you’ve lived here your entire life?”

        ❛    ---    I don't know. Wild guess. I was wrong, anyway.    ❜        She gives him a shrug before heading down the sidewalk, gesturing for him to follow her. Usually, it was easy to get lost whilst traveling with one person, but at this hour, it was much easier to navigate the streets without having to worry about losing someone. Summer looks over to him, nodding curtly as a proud smile crosses her lips. What can she say? She’s proud of it.        ❛    Yep. All my life.    ---    Where are you from?    ❜ 

       sam takes the seat next to her best friend.    it’s not often that they get to have moments like this,    with sam living in mississippi for most of the time    &   summer living in new york.    but it’s moments like this that she’s most grateful for nonetheless.    a hand lays on her shoulder, squeezing gently. 

     "   i’m not the best to weigh in on this,    especially since i’ve never even been in a relationship,   “    —    way to sound pathetic, samantha    —    ”   but it’s going to get easier, i promise.    sometimes things don’t make sense.    &    you know i’m the last one to go preaching about things all being part of a bigger plan,    but i am one huge fan of fate.    &    somethings are hard   …    but they’re meant to happen. “

    “   girl, do not make me take your phone away   ——-   ”     before sam can even finish her sentence,    the other girl has tossed her phone across the room to the other couch.    sam’s mouth falls open just slightly before she sets down the cup of hot coco she’d made for summer,    then takes a sip of the coffee she’d made for herself.     “   am i going to have to take us out day drinking?    because i swear to god that i will.   ”

“– maybe we’ll just let it be part of the mystery,” he says with a wink. “No, it’s really boring. Mostly paperwork.”

It was a white lie, but what are the chances he’ll even see her again. His grin widens when she describes New York during the day. “I’ll be here a couple more days. My brother and I decided that we needed a little break. — Why don’t you show me around then?” 

     a laugh falls from his lips as she says that he could push out of the chair.     “   i don’t doubt that you could.    not even for a minute,   ”    he says through a hearty chuckle.    he extends his hand out,    her signature smile on his face.    "   m'name’s dean.   nice to meet you, summer.    "      he takes a long sip of his coffee before shrugging.    "   i guess you could say that.    my family’s business takes my brother   &   i all over the country.    we really never stay in one spot for long.   but  …   this is my first time to a really big city like this.   is it always this crazy?   “
