About the bar

[gabriella]

Gabby hadn't seen Jacob in a very long time, and it was sad, and it was actually hurting her. The last time she had seen him, she and Jacob had shared what Gabby liked to call a magical moment. She didn't know what had happened to Jacob, but he had been called away somewhere and in all that time, she hadn't heard from him. With Jacob's help Gabby had come to realise that what happened with her parents when she was just a small child wasn't her fault.

She owed Jacob a lot for that, but since he had done his disappearing act she felt so lonely again. She still understood that her parents dying was not her fault, but she was down and become drawn into herself, that her ability had started to get out of control again. Usually caused by her emotions. She would be sitting in a local park, or even in her house, and be thinking about Jacob, what he was doing, how she was missing him and the next thing she knew the tree beside her was aflame, or she had set fire to the closest thing to her in the house. She had to replace most of her cushions.

After another dreadful day, Gabby decided maybe the best thing she could do would be to go out and try and enjoy herself, have a drink a bit of a laugh, so she found herself at Toby Keith's. She was sitting somewhere near the back and once again she was thinking about Jacob. She had a vodka and coke in front of her, and just as she was about to take a sip of her drink, her hand lighted up for no reason and caused the drink to set fire, she had to quickly clasp her hands together to stop the flame, and then before she realised what she was saying she shouted out loud "Shit, shit" and tried to blow out the flames on the glass. This was terrible, what if somebody saw her?

After a few seconds, she managed to distinguish the flames in the glass and hoped nobody saw what had just happened, and then she just sat with her head in her hands, "Why me, oh God why me?" she asked, muttering to herself but probably loud enough for a few people to hear.

[/i] he was kind of curious and turned his head to see what the commotion was all about. When he turned his head, he saw a women set a fire her drink. He gazed around the area, hoping that no one – not even the Company was looking at her. Because the Company – might think that she was a damn threat.

She looked sweet and innocent. Perhaps, Cameron should go over and talk to her. He grabbed his drink and went over to where she was which was towards the back. He gave a warm smile as he approached her table. “Um…mind if I uh, sit down?” He asked in a warm voice.

He waited for her response, but as he waited for her. He got a glimpse of a Company Agent looking. “Damnt” He muttered under his breath. He didn’t wait for her to respond as he just sat down and leaned forward, hoping this woman wouldn’t mind. He wasn’t a stalker – he was just informing her.

“I’m sorry, but I saw you using a flame, and I’m no stalker, but there is a Company Agent four tables over staring at you,” He drank his drink as he looked at the Company Agent. Who was seriously staring at the both of them and it was kind of making Cameron a bit nervous. The only reason he knew that the individual was a Company Agent, because he recognized the man. He was at Tony’s funeral.

Just as Gabby had managed to distinguish the flames she saw somebody approach her, she tried to look down for a second to see if they would just walk past her. However they didn't. Damn it she thought to herself, so had that person saw her? Then she heard his voice and it seemed to be friendly, so she looked up and gave him a weak smile. She was about to say he could sit, when he sat down anyway.

"Sure, I don't mind" she said anyway even though he had already sat down. As a bar tender was clearing away some dirty glasses from the tables around, Gabby caught his attention and gave him money and asked him to bring her over a glass of water, thinking it would be the safest thing should her ability just snap out of control again.

The bar tender was back within a few moments with her glass of water and change, which she just smiled and thanked him, before turning her attention back to the guy who had asked to sit down moments earlier.

As he began to speak, she wanted to cry, seeing as it was about her power after all. She hadn't meant to do it and now she could only hope that he wouldn't think she was a danger, well she was a danger to herself just now, but not a threat to anybody else. "I didn't mean to do it" she said, as she leaned across the table toward the guy so she could keep her voice low.

"I had this under control a couple of months ago, but I've, well not been having a very good time over the past few weeks and when I'm feeling particularly low or upset about something the power just has a mind of its own" she began to explain, "I've burned flowers and some of my furniture, but not on purpose and I swear I'm not a danger to anybody I'd never deliberately hurt somebody" she continued, as she looked down at her feet again and feeling really sad and uncomfortable. She had been brought up by The Company and more or less treated like a guinea-pig and she didn't want to go back there.

She looked up at him with questioning eyes, pleading almost and in a whisper barely audible because she had a lump in her throat and keeping back tears she said, "can you help me please?"

Cameron smiled as he didn’t mean to be that rude about waiting for her to speak about letting him sit with her. He was never like that, but he felt that since that Company Agent was staring at her that he should sit and just speak in a whisper. It would be odd to be stand and explain what the hell was happening.

He watched as the bar tender brought her a glass of water. Perhaps that was a good idea. She could spend out of control any moment. He didn’t know this individual, but from the looks a few moments ago. It would seem that she had the ability to produce flames. His sister Rosie had the ability to produce ice.

Cameron didn’t think that her power was out of control. People had good moments and bad moments with their abilities. He was one of those cases, though for him he had one of those cases, but no one seemed to think on it. He was probably one of the fortunate ones to never get caught by the normal humans when using his ability and be watched by the Company. “I know you didn’t mean to do it” He said with a whisper.

He listened to her explain the ability was under control and now it would seem that her ability had a mind of it’s on. “I see” he acknowledged with a slight nod. “So you aren’t a danger to anyone and you’re just having a bad couple of weeks” He raised an eyebrow as ideas ran through his mind. He wasn’t a shrink, but sometimes when people abilities went out of control. It involved a death or abandonment. He was a victim of going out of control. “So uh, usually when abilities go out of control it is usually death or abandonment” He said in a whisper.

He looked at her as she spoke in a whisper barely audible. At least he could understand her. “Yes, I can help you” he said with a smile. As he got up and went to the Company Agent and spoke to him for a few moments. The Agent left and Cameron went back to her. “I suggest we leave soon, I told him a cocktail waitress has a dangerous ability, he will figure that I’m lying soon, I know a cocktail waitress has an ability, but it isn’t that dangerous” He said with a smile. “Anyway, I’m Cameron by the way”

Gabby smiled weakly when the guy said he knew she hadn't meant to set fire to her alcoholic drink. It was some sort of relief for her, the last thing she needed right now, was somebody coming to give her grief over a mistake. Given her current state it would sure to have sent her into overdrive.

"Well that's good" she said, giving him a slightly warmer smile. She couldn't help but notice how his eyes sparkled behind those glasses of his and she liked it. After she explained about how her ability had been under control and recently it had been doing the most unexpected things, he basically repeated back to her what she was trying to say, that she wasn't a deliberate danger to anybody.

"That's right, pretty much just a bad couple of weeks, more than a couple of weeks actually" she said a little sadly, however she had almost got over the fact that Jacob seemed to have disappeared and never come back, but her power for some reason didn't seem to share the fact she was over it.

He was good she thought. He was good at working out why her ability had gone a little nuts recently, either death or abandonment. Well It used to be the whole death issue, but Jacob had made her see that it wasn't her fault, and she felt much better about things. No, the problem this time was the fact the one person who had made her get over her troubled past was the one person who had abandoned her now.

"Well, I did have somebody special in my life, well I thought they were special, but they went off somewhere and I've not seen them for a couple of months now" Gabby explained in a slightly sad voice, but now it was more mad than sad really. "So I guess you could say abandonment issues" she replied in answer to his question about death or abandonment.

She smiled at him sweetly when he said he would help her, and then she watched as he went to speak to the person whom he said was watching her. He was soon back beside her again. "Thank you so much" she said when he told her what he had said to get the person out the way. She nodded her head when he suggested leaving soon.

"Sure, I think I've probably already made enough of a scene for myself here as it is" and then he introduced himself. She smiled more warmly at him, "I'm Gabriella, but you can call me Gabby if you like" she said, as she stood up, "So, shall we get out of here then?" she asked, since it was his idea they should leave before the guy came back again.

Cameron smiled he knew that people didn’t mean to unleash their abilities in public. Some people had good nature while others were driven into evilness because of their abilities. He on the other hand thought of himself as a good person and not an evil person. He just couldn’t see himself like that. He just couldn’t.

He looked into her beautiful eyes, she was just beautiful and he didn’t expect himself to fall for a person. Then again anything could happen when someone was consumed by alcohol, but he didn’t have that much to drink. It wasn’t kicking in, so he had no clue what the hell was going on. It wasn’t love. He was just trying to be nice gentlemen. There wasn’t that kind of people in this world anymore.

Cameron listened to the girl as she said that she had a rough couple of weeks. He just shook his head in disappointment. It sucked to have off weeks. He was one of those types, but his off weeks never effect his abilities. Which was probably a good thing or not. He wasn’t sure.

“Abandonment issues” He repeated shaking his head. “That causes things to go all wacko” He said with a slight pause. “My father and his abilities went wacko after my mother and brother died” He said shaking his head in disapproval. “Though he managed” He said with a smile. People always seemed to bunch back after abandonment issues.

“Ha!” He chuckled “No problem” He said with a nod. He noticed that she smiled at him more warmly. He was glad to help out a person. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Gabby” He said with a smile as she asked him a question. It was his idea to get away from this place.

“Yeah, I guess we could get out of here” He said “Where is there to do in this town” He said as he folded his arms. “I have two tickets to a show, but I wasn’t going to go, unless you want to accompany me” He said. He couldn’t believe he was inviting someone he just met, but he was just that kind of person.

[gabriella]

Gabby noticed how when she was looking into his sparkling eyes behind those glasses he was doing the same thing to her, staring into her eyes. It made Gabby go a little weak at the knees and then she laughed to herself a little thinking of that Belinda Carlisle song.

She had to try and get control of her emotions again, because she didn't want her ability getting out of control like it did before all those years ago with her parents. True, she no longer blamed herself for their death, but it was still her emotions which had sparked the flames which caused the fire in the first place. She didn't want to be the cause of somebody else's death any time soon.

Cameron's voice broke into her thoughts suddenly. She nodded her head, "Yeah, well the abandonment certainly sent my emotions into overdrive as you could clearly see" she explained as she felt herself blushing and not really knowing why exactly. Was she blushing for the accidental use of her ability, or blushing because she was speaking to a really handsome guy.

"I'm sorry to hear about your mom and brother" Gabby said softly, remembering the fact her own parents were no longer in this world. "It must have been tough for you" she added, referring to how awful it must have been to lose his mom and his brother. "But I'm glad your dad managed to get through it" she added with a soft smile.

She smiled all the more when he said it was no problem for helping her out, but Gabby really was quite impressed, it was one of the sweetest things anybody had done for her since, well since Jacob had helped her get over her past thinking she'd caused her parents death.

"Well the pleasure is all mine for meeting you Cameron" Gabby said in a slight flirt without even realising she had done it. It was just that he really had saved her skin there, and she couldn't help but feel ever so slightly attracted to him.

"Awesome" Gabby said when he agreed about leaving, as she stood up, put her jacket on and made her way to the entrance as he asked about places to go. "Vegas baby, plenty to do" she said in a teasing voice, but when Cameron mentioned about tickets to a show she wondered if that would be a good idea.

"If you don't mind me coming along with you, I think that might be a rather nice idea" Gabby said with a grin referring to the show. She wondered what the show was. It had been ages since she had been to a good show.

Cameron really didn’t know what to expect. He was just amazed at her lovely eyes. He hadn’t seen that in people. Of course, people he dated, but that was old relationships and he currently wasn’t in a relationship at the moment.

“Yeah, I can see that” He said with a slight chuckle. He was trying to make a joke out the situation at hand and he was probably doing a bad thing. But it was just trying to help someone out that had issues and he didn’t want issues. He just wanted to people to have a comedic feel around him. He was just that kind of person.

“It’s alright, it was long ago” Cameron said in a slight soft voice. He knew it was tough for the family to get through the issue at hand, but they somehow managed. And now it was just three of them. Well, his father, his sister, and himself. “He taught us all to manage death and what life throws at us” He said with a slight chuckle.

He was just trying to help out a totally stranger. He was used to do that kind of thing. He didn’t know why perhaps being the military had something to do with that, but it really didn’t matter to him. He was just glad to help out. It was just the way he was.

He laughed “I see” He said in a flirting tone. Knowing that Gabby was indeed flirting with him and he wasn’t even minding having someone flirt with him. He was basically used to people especially at bars to be flirted at. It was just part of human nature.


“Yeah, yeah Vegas” He said with a smile “I grew up in Vegas, so I’m a local” He decided not mention not sure if he had even mentioned it before. “And sure you can come with me, I don’t mind at all, it just the last show for Siegfried and Roy, the hottest ticket in town” He said with a slight smirk proud of the tickets that he had.

[[OOC: Okay. The last performance for Siegfried and Roy was March 1, so I’m kind of 30 days later seeing how the date is March 31, 2009. So I’m making it that the final performance is March 31 LMAO. And btw it was Roy that got attacked by the white tiger]]

When Cameron agreed that he could see her powers went into overdrive over the abandonment, she found she couldn't help but laugh, it had been funny of him to say so, and she guessed it was supposed to have been funny anyway. After all telling him he could clearly see her powers had gone into overdrive when he had asked her about it, was a bit of an obvious statement to make. Was Gabby getting a little tongue tied around this guy? it sure felt like it as she kept getting tingling sensations all over every time she looked at him. Was it any wonder? He was flipping handsome.

She nodded her head in understanding when he said it was a long time ago, but gave a weak laugh when he said it taught them how to manage death and what life threw at them. "Toughened you up I figure?" she asked, which was basically meaning the same as what Cameron had already told her. Some things in life made you toughen up whether you liked it or not.

When Cameron said I see to her remark about the pleasure being all hers, she blushed a little, because it was pretty obvious they were flirting with each other, even if it wasn't exactly intentional.

"I didn't grow up in Vegas, but I moved here quite a while ago, but I do know one thing" she began as she couldn't help but tease Cameron again, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" she finished, as she looked down for a few seconds and bit on her bottom lip. She couldn't remember the last time she flirted so much with a guy off the bat like that. Not even with Jacob had she done that.

Gabby grinned when Cameron said he didn't mind her coming along to the show with him. "Awesome" she replied, "I think we'll have a good time" and she smiled again when he told her what the show was. "Ooh always did want to see that" Gabby replied with a grin. "Well, lead the way Cameron" she said as she winked at him slightly suddenly looking very forward to the evening ahead.

[ooc: Okay I have no clue what show you are referring to - so don't expect me to comment on it - unless I can google for information when I have time (me time? haha)]
