LtJG Kayla Drex: Christmas in Inlet PT6 (NT, JP backsim with Eleanor Alexander)
Kayla Drex
((Drex Family Home - Later that night))
Eleanor gently laid next to Kayla on her bed, exhausted from the days events she placed her head next to Kayla’s
Alexander: This has been the best Christmas ever, I just hope I didn’t over do it with the presents and that you all liked my gifts.
Drex: Seriously? Ok, well first off, yes. Of course you completely went overboard. ::giggling softly:: But your gifts were all so extremely thoughtful and generous … it was incredible, Ellie. Can I ask a rude question though? How? How can you afford all this? I don’t know much about your family, but those gifts were, well … yeah.
::Eleanor knew this was coming, she was going to get quizzed, after all they were not simple gifts and she had seen the eyebrow raising earlier in the day.::
Alexander: Well my parents have a few well placed connections and you know what fathers are like, nothing is too much trouble for daddys little girl. I’m closer to him than my brother and I’ve always been a daddy’s girl and Liam a mother’s boy so it evens itself out.
Drex: Sorry, I know it was a rude question. It’s really none of my business, and I don’t want you to think I’m ungrateful. I’m really SO excited about my dress, and this pendant ::she touched the small stone resting between her collar bones:: is so incredibly sweet, El.
Alexander: Honestly, I haven't bankrupted my family or anything, they do quite well in the import and export business back home ::her first little white lite to her best friend:: hence the connections.
Drex: Ok. You know what I really want to know about?
::Kayla shifted on the bed, rolling onto her side so she could look directly at Eleanor.::
Drex: What do you think of Michael? I think he might like you…..
::Eleanor suddenly blushed, Kayla had now drawn the subject towards Michael::
Alexander: Kayla ::shaking her head:: Your brother, well your whole family seem very charming and apart from him saving me from an almost embarrassing fall in the snow, there is nothing to tell, we walked, I showed him his gift, he was amazed and we walked back. ::Her second lie to her friend:: I mean come on, I only just met everyone.
::Kayla couldn’t read people the way Michael could, but she was arm to arm with the other girl, and felt her skin flush. Kayla smirked, but didn’t push the matter.
Drex: Oh. Well, that’s too bad. I think the two of you would be lovely together.
::she rolled back onto her back. A moment of silence passed between them as the day’s events swirled in each of their minds.::
Drex: Ellie?
Alexander: Yes?
Drex: Merry Christmas.
Alexander: ::Eleanor grasped her friends hand:: Merry Christmas
::Kayla yawned, and soon was breathing deeply. She’d fallen into a deep, peaceful sleep with her head resting against the shoulder of her best friend in the galaxy.::
::Smiling as her friend fell asleep, Eleanor she couldn't help but think of Michael, letting out a gentle yawn, she slowly closed her eyes with the thought of what a perfect day this had been::
