places his pen down running his hand through his hair before glancing up at the knock. "Alfred? Hey. Come in." He smiles lightly.
(( Happy Belated Birthday Tina!! I wanted to wish you on your birthday but internet wasn't working.

Hope you had an awesome day!! ))

laughs. "I can definitely make you some since I refuse to serve it unless it's fresh."
gets up and goes over to prepare it. "It's been alright. You know teenagers...unruly at the best of times. How are things for you?"
begins to stir the coffee waiting for it to boil. "Hmm, yes but there are many who don't try at all."
nods, that was very true. "I can't deny that." He agrees as he gently pours the coffee into the small cup and places in front of Alfred on
his desk. "Do you get that some of them give you odd stares when you're teaching?"
takes a seat on his desk beside Alfred. "Like staring off into the distance kind of stares. Space cadets?"
had never heard that term before. "Interesting, yes, like that in that case."
hums. "More important then my class?" He says/asks in mock hurt. "That can't be possible."
(( On skype, I could try. : ) ))
chuckles lightly. "Right....so the coffee to your taste?""
laughs. "Alright, well you're more than welcome to come by and have some."
quirks a brow. "Maybe I should quit teaching and open a coffee shop."
laughs. "Maybe I should consider."
glances at his watch. "Wanna go grab something to eat? I think I'm done with marking essays for today."
smirks. "I know so I was a bit surprised when you asked."
chuckles. "Mediterranean it is in that case. Follow me."
doesn't think that's a bad thing at all. "Well you'll be in luck in that case. You won't find anything better to eat than what I have
planned." He explains as he leads the other to his car.\
nods. "Oh, I definitely will be driving since I'm positive you have no idea where we're going." He says simply before automatically
unlocking the doors and getting into the drivers seat.
reverses out of the parking lot. "It's a nice location, not that secluded."
shrugs. "Not the usual place you go too? What neighborhood do you live in?"
nods listening. "That's why. You don't even live in the same vicinity." He drives for a bit longer before finding a nice place to park and
getting out. "Here we are." He points out the restaurant across the street. "Not to big but not to small. Just the right size and very
laughs. "No, but it could be a good date place if it weren't a place I go all the time to relax. Wanna be my date Alfred? Is that what
laughs a bit louder. "Such kind words. I'm sure you're more than capable of handling me." He opens the door for the other ushering him in.
smiles and just heads over to take a seat. They new him well here. "Glad you like it so far." He waves his hand and they already come out
with two glasses of tea and some appetizers.
loads his tea with sugar. He glances up briefly before bringing his attention back to the tea. "Adana Kebab."
signals for two orders of the same thing and smiles. "That was quick."
nods, that was true. "Yes, I forget that I do that sometimes."
shrugs. "I'll order more than one thing if that's the case. Have some tea."
smiles. "I recommend sugar with it."
laughs. "I had to make sure or else you'd get kicked out of here in a most embarrassing way by not only me but everyone who works here."
finds that side of Alfred very interesting. His attention veers to the waitress who has their food and places it right in front of them to
begins as well having shot a smile to the waitress. "Make sure to leave some room for dessert."
smiles. "Tons, there all very sweet."
grins. "I tend to have a good intuition about people and food."
can't help but chuckle at how childlike Alfred was, it was nice to see people who could keep that innocence. "What do you usually prefer
eating? If I had not brought you here?"
bites back a laugh. "You are a funny guy Alfred. I'll give you that."
smiles, having finished off his food a while back. "Maybe because I haven't heard of anyone who doesn't enjoy cooking a little bit."
passes him the dessert menu. "I think you need a bit more patience. Or start cooking when you're not hungry yet so when you are, it's done."
nods. "Why don't we order it all?"
quirks a brow and smiles. "Sure, why not."
nods again and waves the waitress over ordering everything. "Someone else with as sweet of a tooth as mine. Wonderful."
doesn't find anything wrong with that. "Sweets are the best part."
laughs. "No problem, anytime. Most people think I'm incredibly intimidating. Nice to hear otherwise."
shrugs. "That may be dangerous for you or beneficial. Can't tell."
laughs. "You could probably use a few more gym dates."
had not meant it in an offensive way. "Of course, I just met you should keep it up to see long term improvement."
nods. "Exactly. That was what I meant to say. It came out harsher than it was supposed to be."
chuckles. "There's nothing wrong with that. Most people want to stay fit."
finds him appealing if that counts for anything. "Don't be embarrassed." He laughs before quieting down when the waitress brings around
quirks a brow but doesn't say anything to that. "Enjoy~"
does the same and enjoys them in pleasure filled silence.
to do a double take because he didn't quite understand it the first time. "What's my hobby? In what regards?"
leans back in his chair. "I enjoy music and dance, writing, smoking, wrestling...you?"
nods at the stuff he's saying. "As in American football, right?"
believes that. "I actually quite enjoy soccer/football and not a bad player either. Although, I'd be interested in learning how to play your
chuckles. "Sounds a bit like wrestling...minus the oil."
nods. "That's how it's done back home. I used to compete but ever since I moved here I've had to give that up."
doubted it. "Probably not, there isn't a very big Turkish community here and most people have never heard of oil wrestling."
him a skeptical look. "If I find interest then maybe but if not than it's fine. You have to sacrifice certain things for a job."
notices that they're done and waves the waitress over speaking to her in Turkish so Alfred won't understand and discreetly passing his
credit card to her. When she leaves he turns back to him. "Yes, I could try."
take advantage of his easy distraction. "Yeah, thanks." He says as he gets up. "If you'll excuse me I need to go to the bathroom." He gets
up but instead of heading to the washroom he goes to the counter, signs and takes back his card storing it in his wallet. He chats with the
waitress for a bit to make it seem as if he had gone to the bathroom and then heads back. "So you ready to head out?"
smiles and leads him out, stretching his limbs out a bit. "Have any plans for the rest of your night?"
nods. "Wanna come to my place for a bit?"
makes his way to his vehicle. "Perfect. Shall we in that case?"
starts the car and drives off. He didn't live to far so the drive was short. He ends up pulling into the driveway of a simple looking
laughs, Alfred hadn't see the inside yet. "I'll keep that in mind." He gets out of the car and makes his way to the front door, unlocking it
and opening it wide for Alfred. "Please, make yourself at home."

what Alfred's house looks like if he thinks he should have stone lions at his door. He closes the door and slips out of his shoes taking him
to the lavishly decorated living room. It looks as if it has been taken out of an ottoman history book. "Do you smoke?"
smiles and points at a place Alfred can sit. "I'll get the hookah ready in that case. Are you an apple fan or a grape fan?"
chuckles, Alfred would understand in a bit. It doesn't take him to long to prepare and soon enough he comes back out with two coals burning
on top of a vase like contraption and he is quick to place it on the neck of the hookah before taking the hose and inhaling to see if it is
ready. "Have you had shisha before?"
frowns at hearing that. "There is no weed in this." He assures as he inhales and blows out a stream of smoke. "Here, have a try." He says
passing the hose to Alfred.
watches him, chuckling lightly. "It's the apple flavor as you asked but try to inhale as deeply as possible before exhaling the smoke."
nods his head from side to side. "I'd say yes and no."
"There are days I do it alone and other time I do it with friends. It really depends on the mood."
takes a seat beside him. "Yeah, and I thought since you tried new food it would be nice to introduce you to this,"
grins back. "Always something new to learn with me. I like to say."
laughs. "Thanks for the permission."
studies him amused. "Much appreciated."
shakes his head at the question but can't help the grin that forms on his features at the redness that just came over Alfred. "Embarrassed
's grin turns into a smaller smile. "Does that unnerve you?"
leans forward and tilts Alfred's chin up so he's looking at him. "You fascinate me. I've never run into someone quite like you before."
chuckles. "And why can't that be interesting?"
's smirk widens. "So easily flustered. Would you like me to stop?"
definitely teasing but wouldn't mind taking it further if Alfred was willing. "What don't you get? I'm being fairly blunt."
laughs not to be rude but he couldn't help but find the Americans face appealing especially with the tint of red that painted across
it. "Come here." He beckons.
's hands grasp onto each one of Alfred's thighs spreading them a bit and pulling him so he's wrapped around his waist. He lets his hand
slide around to the middle of his back before the other takes a gentle hold of his chin. He pauses as he stares into Alfred's blue eyes
for permission before preceding forward.
smiles a bit at that and leans the rest of the way in gently pressing his lips against those of Alfreds' trying to take things slowly at

takes that as an invitation to proceed further and lets his tongue trail in exploring every part of his mouth as continues to taste him.
pulls away momentarily before taking Alfreds' bottom lip in his mouth and sucking and nibbling on it lightly.
keeps his hold strong as he presses into the kisses, enjoying the more active role Alfred was taking now that he seemed a bit more relaxed
about what was occurring.
lets out a bit of a groan as he tilts his head to the side taking the American's mouth harder against his as his tongue wanders back in
twirling around that of Alfreds'.
pulls away to catch his breath before he trails his lips over the contour of Alfreds' jawline. He shudders at the fingers in his hair before
taking Alfreds' red lips for himself again kissing him with a bit more force trying to leave him breathless once again.
this quite a bit and lets his hands slide under Alfred's shirt to draw patterns against the skin as he pushes to dominate the kiss once
let's out a bit of a gasp at the squirming but doesn't relent in the fight.
pulls away unsure if they should go any further or should keep it to simply making out. "Alfred...do you want to go further?"
(( You know you can say no. ))
nods a bit before adjusting himself. "The co-worker thing doesn't bother me but yes we could if you're still interested." He runs a hand
through his disheveled hair trying to fix it a bit.
watches him for a few seconds before tilting his head back and yawning a bit. "We will see,"
quirks a brow, chuckling lightly as he shakes his head. "No, not in the slightest."
didn't even try to fix it deciding it was better to keep it messy because one way or another it would remain so. "What did you have in

's brows raise. "To be honest, I don't watch that many movies. I've never found one that I really like...or any that you would have heard

glances down pensively, he wasn't the type to disturb the dead but it wasn't something he had ever done either. "How can you be sure it's

heads to the car and passes Alfred the keys since he was the one who knew where this house was and goes to take a seat in the passenger
"Yeah, in the trunk of the car."

glances out the window at the hill and merely studies it.]
glances back at him. "One day sure."
keeps track of where they are going. He has never experienced anything supernatural himself so he was sure there was probably nothing wrong
peers out the windshield. "Looks like a house." He wasn't really into these kind of things.
laughs. "That would be considered young back in my home country. But I guess here not so much."
gets off and fetches the torches before coming back and handing one to Alfred. "Lead the way, daredevil."
quirks a brow having noticed his uneasiness and shakes his head. "No, we should stay. I'm kind of curious about what we will see." He
honestly just wants to see Alfred scared since the younger male seemed to be getting close to freaking himself out.
(( What's wrong with torches? ))
follows after, glancing around unsure of what to expect. He wasn't scared that was a fact but neither was he very sure why he was here in
makes sure to walk carefully past the debris that had been littered around the floor. His eyes wander around the room before he walks to the
middle of the room. "Do you know the history behind this house?"
glances up the clearly creaky stairs. "SO we should head upstairs in that case."
starts heading up the stairs. He was unfazed by the eerieness of the building.
(( No, if you want to, go for it. ))
shakes his head, "No, not really." He replies as he enters the room furthest down the hall. That seemed appropriate.
heard the sound and quirk a brow higher as he peers out of the room to find the door near the stairs closed. "Hmmm, seems someone is not
happy we're here but I also think we're in the wrong room."
glances over his shoulder at the hidden American and can't help but shake his head in amusement. "Do you want me to go check first before
nods before heading over to the room, a little careful at first but decides it's not worth it and opens the door wide. He pauses scanning
the room before entering and standing in the middle with his arms open wide as if inviting whoever it was in the room towards him. "I think
frowns before making his way towards it. He inspects it, a little oblivious to Alfred's discomfort and wipes the dust off before picking it
up and opening it. It was very old, that was for sure but the melody seemed to get louder. "Do you think this belong to the wife?"
wasn't planning to take it home. He puts it back in the space it had been in. "Odd things are happening." He comments idly. "Did anything

nods. "So we should visit both those areas before we head out, is what you're trying to tell me."
taken a few years of architectural design and judging by the layout in this house it would be found in the hallway near the room furthest
back on this level. "It should be in the hallway." He says as he heads out and finds it exactly where he thought it would be.
finds the string hanging from it and takes a hold of it pulling it down to reveal a small set of stairs and darkness above. He flashes the
light up but can't see too much. "If we see a ghost, we see a ghost. Not sure how you're suppose to react."
starts to head up the stairs, entering into the dusty and clearly unused and every old attic. His light streams over many objects but there
are a lot that are covered by white sheets that add to the already eerie atmosphere.
alarmed by Alfred's scream and flashes the light in that direction just to catch a petrified bird and can't help but laugh. "You shouldn't
propose ideas you can't handle."
takes a seat somewhere and lets Alfred look around as much as he pleases.
points the light on the box and eyes the toys being pulled out. "Very interesting find."
nods. "Yeah, it's a very curious find."
"There's still the basement if you want to go check it out. If not, yeah, we can leave."
chuckles. "But will you see it with someone as calm as me? Another could make you even more scared."
smiles lightly. "So do you want to go check the basement or would you rather save it for later. Maybe you like being scared? Although I'm
kind of wondering how you'll go to sleep tonight."
nods. "So the basement in that case?"
gets up and waits for Alfred to exit first. He figured it would be the smarter thing to do since the attic was considerably creepy.
notices this and glances around to see what could have caused Alfred to react so harshly. "Did you see something?"
steps down beside him and continues to glance around but doesn't see anything. "Hmm, interesting, maybe it's trying to tell you something."
ruffles his hair. "Unfortunately, it showed itself to you."
isn't too sure, this was technically his first time doing paranormal stuff. "Maybe." He murmurs as he makes his way to the main floor and
then starts heading down to the basement.
heard something as well but doesn't let him deter him and heads down the rest of the stairs until they are both in the middle of the clammy
to agree with that. "Whoever is talking, they seem to be alone." He comments as he flashes the light around the room. "It's probably wet
from all those years of being abandoned."
frowns, he had just put new batteries in the torches. Alfred's shouldn't have been flickering just yet.
decides its probably a good time to take Alfred home. "Alright, I think we're done here in that case." He starts to usher him upstairs.
let's out a bit of a hiss at the clawing before pulling the American around and holding him still in front of him. "Are you alright?" His
pats his shoulder sympathetically but he had missed it completely.
lead him to the main floor again. "I believe you. I just didn't see anything."
realises that he's carrying Alfred but doesn't complain and heaves him up so he's in a better position in his arms. "What did it look like?"
carries him outside of the house making sure to close the door with his foot before carrying the other to his car with a bit of a
grunt. "Did it look like a silhouette of a man or woman?"
manages to one-handedly open the passenger door and bends down to try and ease him in. "Did she say anything?" He figured just asking
questions might settle his fears.
closes the door behind him and gets into the drivers seat, putting his seatbelt on and starting the engine. He pauses, unsure if he should
give Alfred a bit of time to calm down.
studies Alfred for a few seconds before reversing out of the long driveway and making his way to the American's house.
drives into Alfred's drive way stopping near the door. "Feeling a little more relaxed?"
eyes before nodding. "Do you think you'll be fine on your own?"
quirks a brow. "Are you asking or is your dog here? You don't seem too sure. Do you want me to come in for a little bit?"
him a small pat to the shoulder before getting out and going to open Alfred's door offering him his arm.
chuckles. "It was definitely something." He agrees as he closes the door and leads Alfred to his front door.
stops at the door. "Yes, it was."
takes a step to the side so Alfred can have room with the retriever. "So you do have company." He laughs lightly.
wasn't much of a dog person but did find it cute. "He's cute."
kneels down and gently pets the dogs head. "Merhaba Tony."
the dog a few more pets before getting up. "I can imagine it's not lonely with Tony around."
steps further into the house and closes the door behind him. "I can believe that. Have you had him for a long time?"
follows and notices how the dog follows as well.
shakes his head deciding it was best not too but he appreciated the offer none the less. He takes a seat on the couch opposite to him
finding it extremely comfortable. He can't help but study his surroundings for a few seconds before turning his attention back to
Alfred. "Quaint place you have here."
nods. "I do actually. It's very comfy and a nice place. If I hadn't been living where I am now this would be a close second."
smiles, he would consider that but probably won't take up the offer. "I'll consider that."
pats his knees. "Anyway, I think I should probably head out. So it was fun. I'll see you later Alfred."
quirks a brow at the hesitation. "Will you be fine? I can stay longer if you want me too."
hugs him back before nodding. "In that case, goodnight Alfred."
smiles. "No problem." With that he exits, waves and heads out.
