-APOLOGIES, I'M LATE-
...continuation of 39. Jolie Demoiselle
[The lady approaches Silas with large strides accompanied with a swift grace, the sounds of her heels distant among the busy crowd. A confident smile stretches across her red lips.]
"A jamais quelqu'un vous dit que vous êtes beau?"
[Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?]
[Silas laughs it off with a small titter, hands in the pocket of his dress pants.]
"Merci."
[Thank you.]
"Oh, tu comprends?"
[Oh. You understand?]
"Je comprends. Je parle un peu le françias."
[I understand. I speak a little French.]
"Très sexy!"
[Very sexy!]
[She flirts, gently hitting his shoulder. Her charms although indeed alluring and irresistible seemed to have no effect on Silas and he played it off with a humble smile.]
"Vraiment?"
[Really?]
"I find it very attractive when a foreign man can speak French so fascinatingly."
[The lady's accent laid thick in her words, batting her also thick lashes at Silas.]
"Ah so you speak English."
"Oui. And if you understand French so well then je peux vous offrir un verre?"
[Can I buy you a drink?]
[Silas ponders, just as though he might just accept her request.]
"I'm afraid I'd have to reject your offer, apologies. I'm sure you'll find another man worthy of your beauty."
"You're not single?"
"I am but..."
[Flushes of pink discolour his cheeks; just the slightest thought of asking her out made him edgy. The hints of moisture on Silas' hands make him rub his palms on the side of his shirt as he chuckles nervously.]
"Mmm, vous aimez une femme..."
[Mmm, you like a woman...]
[Never in his 24 years did Silas feel perturbed and anxious about having to go through with the feelings he'd succumbed to.]
"...Oui."
"Then you better ask her out soon, bel homme. Or many women will come running to you."
[He runs a hand along the back of his neck, turning to look at Jared who's on the phone with Naya.]
"Je devrais vraiment."
[I really should.]
