•Colette• • Despite the absentminded expression on her pretty face, Colette was listening to the conversation concerning the company. She knew a bit more than she let on when it came to running a business, but she tried not to stick her nose too deep into affairs that didn't necessarily concern her. Upon her fathers request, she was to later begin business school to further her knowledge, which she didn't have much of a problem with. While the men talked, she sat quietly, her hand shifting to rest lightly against Jace's leg as she traced gentle patterns against his jeans. Her gaze had settled upon the menu as she knew she'd need to decide before bery long. She hadn't missed the list of drinks, rather tempted herself to have one if it weren't for Jace there with her. She eventually decided that she'd get a chicken alfredo dish, her stomach growling quietly at the thought. Hearing the way Jace broke the ramble of business, Colette laced her fingers back with his as she listened to the other two answer his question. She'd been looking back at Jace, close to responding when the waitress returned. She smiled, falling silent as she allowed the others to answer first. The feeling of circles being rubbed on the back of her hand was wonderful. "I'll have the chicken alfredo, please," she smiled politely, staying close against his side. She squeezed his hand lightly, smiling as she'd finished giving her order. "Are you alright?" She murmured into his ear, wishing to know how he fared at the time being. Colette knew he probably didn't want to burden her, but she couldn't help but want to know if he was alright.

Jace Jace wasn't sure if he was alright, tension just fumed off him. He wanted her around him, in his arms, pressing against his skin. It was a struggle to be near his family and everytime she touched him he let out a mixture of relief and frustation. Why frustation? He didn't know but partly because Jace wanted her, all of her to be his. And he had her, so close too, yet not yet so full yet. He let out a sigh again and let his focus fall back to her question, "I'm-" Jace paused, he could see the desperation in her eyes, "I'm just tense, not very happy to be here." He muttered to her with a warmth yet hissy cold towards his family. His hand held hers tightly yet so gently, rubbing circles on the back of her hand. "I love you." He leaned over mouth hovering over her earlobe as he whispered. Then he cleared his throat and looked back up to the two. They had saw nothing, just like he liked it. "So, Morgan, any actual girls you can keep lately?" He started a convo ingulfing himself in it to tease Colette. She would have to beg to understand and gain his attention now. His head rested in his hands as he eyed his brother. His brother than began to yap, "See, there was Melissa. we had been together for the entire time you were gone till a week before you coming home. She- She was cheating though so I had to leave her," Jace relitively didn't care about Morgans affairs but suddenly a spark of interest follow, "Listen it's fine Morgan, you get used to it after awhile." He muttered out like nothing. No wonder he was so cold towards others. In college he had a few girls try to get pass his shell and none did. He didn't let anyone in because of that. He didn't want to get hurt over something he can't control. Colette was so different, it was forced something new that shattered his walls... And he had let her in. "Yeah yeah whatever." Morgan brushed him off obviously feeling embarrased at his advice. Jace smirked, "I learned from the best aka myself!" He smoothly teased refering to Morgan being a girlfriend stealer.
