frostbite (open)

[Axel Eterna]

Axel drove the car into the amusement park parking lot. He turned the car off, and waited for his younger sisters to open their doors before he locked it up. The black Porsche gleamed in the winter sunlight. Driving had been a little tough on the slick roads but not he was required to deal with something much more slippery. The entry to the amusement park was free, and since he and his sisters brought their shiny new ice skates the ice skating rink's use was pretty much free. He had money, that was why he was driving a newer Porsche. The CEO still enjoyed free things though, his sister did to.

Once they got to the ice skating rink he told them to be safe, both sisters, at totally different ages reacted differently. The youngest of the family, Bella gave her brother a big hug than ran off to join some friends. The older sister who was into the more troublesome teenage years shook her head. "Whatever." She flashed him a smile and then walked off to go do whatever teenagers do. Now the eldest sibling, Axel Flux was all alone.

Even though he was very caring with his sisters he didn't pay attention to many others. So he wasn't going to plan to meet up with any friends here. If he wanted company in a social area he would be at a club. No, he wouldn't mind company but didn't need it. He planned on drinking hot chocolate and then maybe going out on the ice. The ice skates couldn't stay new forever after all.

He walked over to the stand that sold the hot chocolate and bought some. Then he took it, marshmallows and all and went to the benches. His eyes were in the rink looking for his sisters, all of the Flux siblings could skate well. The huge skating rink made it hard to see his show off sister and his younger and sweeter sister Bella. Really, after working all week you would think he would want to do something more interesting. His girls were always one of the top priorities though.

Rachelle wasn't very fond of cold places, nor did she like cold climates, they were quite uncomfortable, and made her cheeks feel numb, one reason she didn't like winter much at all. But, when one of her long time friends had asked her to go ice skating with them that exact night, she couldn't help but say yes. New experiences made for a better person, no matter how much she hated the cold. So, after she had gotten home, she had switched from her black skirt and white top into black skinny jeans a white tunic, a zebra belt right below her breasts, along with her simple black cotton jacket, and then, she was climbing back into her simple black miata, a car she had for quite a while, and she was off.

Within minutes she was parking her car and getting out, her normal boots on her feet, and a pair of iceskates hanging over her shoulder, her friend had given them to her a while back, just the right size, and instead of the usual white, they were black, amazing. After paying her way in, she stood around for a second, then after calling her friend, found out she wouldn't be there tonight, and so Rachelle was now alone. Sighing, she decided to get something to fill her belly first, then going out and busting her ass on the ice. So, she did just that, buying a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows, and after receiving it, went and sat her rump on random bench.

Setting it down beside her, she quickly shifted her hair into a loose side pony tail on her left should, her bangs in mint condition, she smiled, and picked up her hot chocolate and took a test sip, then immediatly hissed, it was still sering hot, whatever happened to places having cheap slightly cold hot chocolate like when she was way younger?

[Axel Eterna]

Axel hadn't tried the hot chocolate yet, but he heard a hiss and looked around. His eyes stopped on a woman who was also holding a cup of hot chocolate. She was gorgeous, her pink hair tied to the side. It was an unusual pink but he didn't mind that. He glanced out at the rink again and then decided to say hello. He couldn't help himself, sometimes you just have to go and try to talk to that girl. He wasn't self conscious at all. Axel had a bit of an ego. He deserved it being a CEO and all. It was a lot of paperwork and stress at times.

He threw on a smile, it wasn't to hard. When working with clients you have to have an entrepreneur smile. This one wasn't quite the same though. He looked more like a hot shot guy, a charmer. Axel wasn't afraid of making some eye contact. That was where he was looking, at her face. It looked much better up close, and it had been stunning before. "How is the hot chocolate?" She must have been the one to hiss. She was the only person close enough for him to hear hiss. He stayed casual. Axel was good at being mellow, usually that was what he did. Paying attention to one thing at a time, treating everything else like the whisper of wind through grass, which you couldn't hear easily. So he wasn't really paying attention to much more then her for the moment.

Axel was wearing a pair blue jeans, they were a thicker denim then some jeans. He had planned for cold, wearing a long sleeved red sweater and a black vest over that. His orange hair was a kind of messy that looked good. His hazel eyes were friendly. Sure, sometimes he would ignore people, well actually almost always. This was an exception because he wanted this lovely ladies attention. He was very tall, Axel could easily be a male model but he bosses the males models around instead. It was more fun that way!

Looking up from her cup, she looked at the male that had spoke for one second, then set her hands down, the cup still in them, on her lap, then looked back at him, her eyes darting up to his face as she smiled at him and said,"The hot chocolate? Hot! It burnt my tongue and my cheeks." Her smiled stayed glued to her face as she looked back down at the slightly steaming cup, then she shrugged, and looking back at him, said,"Oh, well, lesson learned, watch out for hot chocolate, it can burn you." Her smile still as brilliant as before.

Looking out over the ice, she bit her lip, she really wasn't looking forward to going out there and busting her butt on the ice, why did she even agree to go? Oh, yeah, because she had the puppy dog eyes used on her, again, this has happened before, same girl, something similar, and she had to go alone, oh well, learn to forgive or forget. Looking back at the male, Rachelle continued to smile, then sat her cup down on the bench next to her and folded one leg over the other, one of the few ladylike ways she liked to sit, then picked up her cup, blowing softly on it, she took another small sip and smiled, it wasn't absolutely boiling hot anymore.

Giggling slightly, she looked back at the male, and smiling even bigger than before, said,"Do you skate often?" Being in the music business did have it's ups, people like confident singers, and when you can't look someone in the face when looking for a job, you shit outta luck if you really want it, because confidence is key.

[Axel Eterna]

Axel was a bit surprised she was so friendly, usually he didn't pay much attention but she was a stunner. That was saying something since he was the CEO of a modeling agency. Not every beauty made it to his company though, and of course he didn't usually mix business with pleasure. He tried his best to fill his father's shoes at work. There was so much paperwork it wasn't funny, all the meetings and seriousness. It was nice to take a break and do something with his sisters. He smiled at her answer to the question though. "Thanks for warning me."

He watched her shift into a lady like crossing of legs. He mostly kept his eyes on her smile though. He followed her lip biting gaze to the ice. He had a feeling she wasn't a confident skater. Axel had been looking out at the ice and sipping on his hot chocolate when he heard her giggle and ask if he skated much. He lowered his cup and smiled like he was some kind of pro. Maybe he couldn't pull off flips and jumps but he had once played hockey. That was when he was a kid, but he could still skate very well. He was usually busy at work but he sometimes came here with his sisters. He answered in a to the point, "You could probably say that. How about you?"

She seemed confident but he wasn't so sure about her skating capabilities. If she needed some lessons he could try helping her out. Otherwise maybe they could skate together for a little while. There eyes met and for some reason she seemed a little familiar. He pushed that thought out of mind he would have remembered her if he had met her. She seemed like a nice gal though.

[Rachelle Echo]

Grinning, Rachelle ran a quick hand through her pink locks, then said,"Your welcome! Always gotta be cautious!" Her eyes went back to roaming the ice, oh how she would dread the point when her bum hit that ice, bruises for a week, oh the pain! Taking another sip of her hot chocolate, she used her free hand to brush a stray lock from her hair behind her ear, then looking at the male, she smiled again. She was started to really hate how she got conned into this and deserted, at least if her friend had came she would know someone, but no, she had to 'lose her voice' and 'go to the doctor'. Lying little brat.

Going back to looking around, a small smile on her face, she watched as some people seemed to float, while others looked like they were trying to kill the poor ice, though, the thing that made her smile was a little girl skating with her father, which reminded her, she had call her daddy when she got home, they needed to talk about money and food. Looking back at the male, she giggled,"Not once in my whole entire life, new experiences make for the better, as I say." She shrugged again and took another sip, feeling it all pool in her belly, it was so nice and tasty. She really did love hot chocolate.

Looking back up at him from her cup, she smiled another one of her bright smiles, her eyes barely leaving his face, she may be nice, but she was still human enough to wonder about his hair, was it naturally that color? It looks really nice, and it looked soft. Ignoring her own thoughts, she said,"I'm really not looking forward to having to go out there and bust my bottom, I just hope I don't lose my voice somehow." That would suck if she did though, she'd be out of pay for a slight bit.

[Axel Eterna]

She ran a hand through her pink hair. That was rather interesting hair. Axel had issues with his own hair color, it was just trouble. He liked it the way it was but got touchy about what to call it. Never strawberry blind, orange is what he called it. He was unluckily caught between colors. It didn't bother him to much though. He smirked at her response.

His intuition had been very right. "I'll help you if you want. I'm a pretty good skater." He lifted his hot chocolate to his lips. He could tell it had really cooled down somewhat. He drank about half of it all at once. When he removed the drink from his lips he introduced himself. "I'm Axel Eterna." For a second he wondered if she would recognize the name at all. Some CEO's weren't as famous as the celebrities they endorsed but the last name was the label of the company. Really though he didn't want to be known as some CEO, just Axel the guy who was continually stressed by an important job. Models were sometimes hard to keep an eye on.

He smirked at her comment about losing her voice on the ice. "I highly doubt that will happen. I'll help ya out." He looked out at the rink spotting his youngest sister's smiling face for a little bit. He smiled to, yeah it would be fun to go out on the ice. Break in his new white skates. The ice didn't seem to rough at the moment, the rink would be easy to skate on at the moment. If you waited until the ice got all scratched up it wasn't as easy or fun. Having played hockey at one time it wasn't to hard to handle rough ice for Axel. A beginner would be falling down a lot though.
