Goofin' Off [Lydia]

The older brother continued to be goofy and fun with his little brother. He enjoyed making him laugh, making him giggle and clap his hands. Vincent laughed and moved towards his brother, tickling him and sending him into a laughing fit as the Veggie Tales echoed from his phone’s speaker. He released his brother when he started to gasp a little for air and then left him alone so that he could catch his breath. Vincent, of course, took that time to relax himself and sit up on his knees, looking adoringly at his younger brother before a scent of perfume, body wash, and shampoo washed over his senses. Usually he assumed it was his mother’s but this was different. None of these were the proper scent to be his mother’s that had rubbed off on him and his brother. He paused a moment before he looked up and found that there was a rather gorgeous, strawberry blonde watching him and his brother. Not in a creepy way, but in a way that made him smile.

Not knowing what else to do without scaring her, he waved at her. “Hi there,” he greeted before his brother sat up and turned, looking at the girl. He waved at her as well, giggling a little as he did so before he got up and ran to the slide, making Vincent shake his head a little as he watched him. He was glad that someone else had decided to show up to the park. He moved over to his phone, unlocking it so he could see if he had any e-mails or texts. He hadn’t. He looked up and over at his brother, watching the two year old carefully. He was almost three, but Vincent made sure to keep his eyes peeled. He even watched as the young woman moved towards him. He smelled something interesting about her, other than that she smelled good, but kept it to himself as he set his phone down, the music now switching to Disney.

Notes; Tis a little short, but I hope it's okay.

The strawberry blonde approached, arms crossed over her chest in a bit of a closed off manner, but she approached him and spoke so he supposed she was just chilly. She spoke, saying hello and that she wasn’t creepily watching him and his brother from afar. She then said that she had been, but she hadn’t been there for very long. Vincent smiled over at her as she apologized and said hello before introducing herself as Lydia. She tucked some of her hair behind her ear, making him grin. “I’m Vincent,” he told her with a grin. “And it’s okay, I could tell you were just distracted by Ben’s cuteness,” he joked as he looked over at his brother again.

There was a moment of silence after Vincent changed the music on his phone to something Disney related. He couldn’t help but think of the irony as the Lion King came on, but he digressed and looked over at Lydia as she asked him if he was new around Beacon Hills before saying that she hadn’t seen him around before. Vincent grinned. “I moved here about a month ago. Having a bit of trouble trying to register for school. Going from private school to public school is a bit of a hassle after a few weeks of school has gone by,” he told her, shaking his head a little. Politics, how he loathed them.

The beautiful young woman named Lydia asked him if he was going to start at Beacon Hills High School soon. She said that it wasn’t the best school and didn’t compare to the private schools but it was okay. He chuckled and nodded his head. ”Yeah, I’m going to be attending Beacon Hills High now that my stupid paperwork finally went through,” he said with a roll of his eyes. His previous school, a pristine private school, hadn’t exactly been cooperative with the public high school, but they had finally gotten around to sending over his transcripts. Ridiculous school, he thought to himself.

It didn’t take long for Vincent to realize that Lydia was playing with her hair. He couldn’t help but smirk a little when she changed her stance slightly. He then brought his attention back to his brother, keeping an eye on him before he felt Lydia move closer to him. He turned to look over at her as she batted her eyelashes up at him. She asked if he always spent his Friday nights in the park with his brother. Vincent chuckled. “Well dad works close at the Library and mom’s got late classes as the Community College so I’m babysitting,” he said with a smile before he paused. “But to answer your question, no, I don’t. In my other town, I spent Friday nights at the football games,” he told her. Being on the football team had it’s advantages, but ruined his Friday night dates.

Notes; Haha, well, Vincent isn't really telling her not to xD

The fact that Lydia was being flirtatious with him wasn’t surprising in the slightest. Vincent knew that he was attractive to most females but to be honest, it wasn’t anything new to him. In fact, it was something rather old news, in a way. Ever since he started to work out and play football for his private school, he had been popular among the ladies. Grant it, now he wasn’t sure how he would stay physically fit. There was a moment when the woman asked if he played quarterback. He chuckled and rolled his eyes. “No, no, I was a half-back,” he told her, not wanting to insult her intelligence by describing to her what the team position meant. She didn’t seem stupid so he wouldn’t treat her as such.

It wasn’t long until Lydia told her that there was no football team at Beacon Hills High School, which wasn’t surprising. Vincent had already looked in to such things. There was a moment as she said that lacrosse was the sport to play. He nodded his head. “Is there someone I should talk to about trying out then? Or have tryouts already occurred?” He asked, looking over at her curiously as he turned to catch his brother going down the slide for the ninth time before he made his way over to the monkey bars where he started to play on those, or attempt to. He watched over his brother carefully, protectively, just in case he fell.

Vincent chuckled at the girl as she continued to twirl her hair around her finger and question his football position. He nodded his head in response before she said that he would have to be pretty fast and how it could help in lacrosse. He paused a bit, smirking as she winked at him before she chuckled and looked over at his brother. Vincent’s eyes trailed over Lydia a moment before they, too, returned to his younger brother, who was more than happy to slide and wave at them before he decided to head over to the swing set.

Lydia mentioned that she believed that try-outs for lacrosse as all during the next week so he would be fine. She then told him that he may need to show up and talk to the Coach beforehand, but she believed that he would be fine. Vincent grinned. “So much confidence in me already?” He asked her curiously. “You gonna cheer for me during games if I make the team?” He asked, unable to help flirting with the strawberry blonde. Not to mention, she started it and Vincent would be sure that he would help finish it. Although nothing would get too crazy. He did have his younger brother to look after after all.

Lydia told Vincent that she was good at reading people and he shook his head a little, smiling over at her and shaking his head a little bit. She was coy and flirtatious he’d give her that. Grant it, Vincent was more than a little sure that these sorts of things were generally normal with her. He was a flirtatious fellow so he knew that sometimes flirting was just a fun time and nothing serious so if Lydia wanted to just have a little fun, he was all about that as well, but she would have to let him know. Generally, he was more submissive to women than he was to men, in more than one way.

Lydia then said that she would cheer for him whenever he wanted, making him outright chuckle. He appreciated her good humor and her teasing nature. He enjoyed that. It was nice being around a girl who wasn’t afraid to flirt with him or didn’t get bashful or immediately lash out at him when he flirted with her. So, what the two were doing now, he very much appreciated. “I’ll keep you to that. I get on the lacrosse team, you’re my date to all those many parties,” he teased, mostly joking but not about to say no if she agreed.

Despite his flirtatious tone, his eyes were mainly on his brother, keeping him under close watch as he played by himself. That was before he ran up to Lydia and stopped right in front of her, looking up at her with wide eyes. “You’re really pretty,” Ben stated firmly. He wanted her to know and that was all he wanted her to know before he ran back off towards the jungle gym, making Vincent laugh. “He’s already a ladies man,” he joked.
