the irritation that drips off nadia only serves to amuse salvador further. he takes a step back when nadia approaches, giving her enough space to cut in front of him and rearrange the display. there’s one candle still in his hand, head dipped slightly to get a good whiff, but he can’t tell what the candle is supposed to smell like— too busy looking at nadia through dark lashes. a scoff escapes him at her quip, “don't be ridiculous, nadia. curses aren't real. ” his looks were natural, thank you! “—and i didn’t cheat on her. not technically. we were never officially together. you'd think the cosmos would have— i don't know —given her a memo or something.” he shrugs, as if it were no big deal. ‘cus it wasn’t. not to him at least. “you don’t actually believe in all this shit, do you? it’s okay– you can tell me. promise i won’t tell your boss.” he chooses not to address the surprise in her tone when she accepts his offer to take her home. it’s true that he’s the furthest thing from a gentleman—but even he has enough sense to not let nadia walk off alone. he’s not about to pat himself on the back for doing the bare minimum. not when it comes to this.

it’s her reply to his second question that he focuses on, a laugh breaking out from him at her reaction. how graphic! “you wanna stop thinking about my dick for a moment? i was genuinely wondering if you wanted to hit up some pool.” he really was, but the way his eyes flicker to her lips might make that hard to believe. if he was a better man, he would put up more of a fight to ensure nadia didn’t get the wrong impression, but the thought was there now that nadia had vocalized it. huh, maybe words really were spells. at least, the ones he was willing to listen to. “--or is that how manifestation works?” he asks, voice playfully dipping in tone as he steps closer, placing that candle he had been holding on to back to its designated spot. “you don’t have to be shy, nads. i give just as well as i take if that’s what you're worried about.”

nadia points to the sign she's flipped to now read CLOSED . " the candles are sure done with you . " she states easily . nadia will never understand his seeming obsession with this store other than YES , everyone who works here is hot ( herself included ) . nadia moves around him , her fingers automatically straightening up the candles he'd just been lifting and sniffing . " and she cursed you to look like this forever after you inevitably cheated on her , i'm guessing ? " she says easily , with a grin stretching her lips . nadia rolls her eyes at the easy way he turns it all on . it's like a sport , and he's MAYBE winning bronze ( not quite gold ) . she pulls a face at his comment about locking him up and any ideas of fun . as usual , she chooses to ignore it . nadia does pause though , at the offer of a drive home . she likes walking when she can , but hadn't thought that with everything going on currently and the sun now SETTING . it may not be the safest thing to walk home . a lift might actually be useful . " ok . thanks . " she says , not bothering to hide her surprise at his offer . she narrows her eyes . " i don't have any plans , but if your next best option is to give you a blowjob or something , then i do have plans : it's buying a gun and killing myself with it . "
