It was lunch time and Kelly brought a snack of fries and a soda as he sat outside in the courtyard to read his book about Nature. Sitting on the bench he opened his book and started to read an excerpt on some author named Thoreau. Quietly he sat there waiting for someone to talk to or until he was done. Occasionally thought aloud as he was known for doing.

"The art of Walking? Sounds silly to me!"

(Open thread I will RP with anyone)

A few minutes later, Consuela came out, carrying her camera. Waving briefly to Kelly, she moved round the courtyard, looking for something.

Now that he had something to be distracted on, Kelly lifted his head out of the book an admired Consuela as she took a part of the art of photography or the art of journalism. He waved back and watched.

Consuela seemed unaware she was being observed. Certainly she probably wouldn't have bent over quite like that to take a picture if she had.

"Wow!" Kelly exclaimed as the pretty young photographer bent over for a picture.

Consuela looked round at Kelly, not realising it was her that had caused the excited exclamation.

"What is?" she asked.

He quickly thought of a lie.

"The sky! Yes! It's just so pretty," not realizing that it was cloudy.

"You like clouds, yes?" Consuela asked, searching the sky for whatever interesting one had caught Kelly's eye.

Kelly looked up, "No, I prefer sunny days."

"But see something interesting, yes?"

Kelly looked back down at her, "Yes, but the formation moved."

"Are you taking pictures for class?"

Consuela shook her head. "I take for fun, make scrapbook."

"A scrapbook? But you are still young and beautiful!" Kelly was curious on why anyone under the age of forty would ever do a scrapbook.

"I make for Papa." Consuela replied, wondering what being beautiful had to do with anything.

"Oh! I get it! You're making it for your family back home. That's cool," as he now understood what she was doing.

"Si. Ms McManus suggest it, yes?"

"No, Ms. McManus never suggested that to me. I don't I know her," he looked at her puzzled.

A moment later he understood Consuela, "Oh! She suggested it to you!"

"Si."

Forgetting his Spanish he replied, "What am I seeing again?" He looked up around for anything interesting that she might be talking about.

Consuela looked over at Kelly and laughed.

"Clouds, yes?"

Looking back up at the clouds he wanted to find one of interests but couldn't so he changed the subject entirely, "Consuela you sure are pretty."

"Gracias... Kelly, yes?"

Kelly gave a thought to why she ended with a yes or si but didn't give it too much thought and focus his attention on the young woman, "Oui, what style of photos do you take besides scenery?"

"Mostly is fauna...you say wildlife yes?

Want to see?"

Kelly stood up with his book under his arm and walked over to Consuela to see if she had a photos on her, on her camera, or none at all, "I would love too!"

"You know I'm kinda like wildlife," he said with a smile trying to be cute and not perverted.

"People not wildlife." Consuela replied as she offered her camera to Kelly. "Can work this, yes?"

Kelly reached out for the camera but half way he withdrew his hands, "I don't think I should. It is important to you and I don't want to break it." He glanced at his hands thinking that he would either drop it or scratch it...which wouldn't be a smooth move in front of Consuela.

"I show you, yes." Consuela replied, taking the camera back and and bringing up the stored pictures. She held it up so he could see the screen, the closeness this required causing her ample chest to brush against his arm.

Kelly was interested to see her photos but as soon as he felt her lady lumps brush up against him his skin broke out into goosebumps, "They're very beautiful."

"Si." Consuela agreed. "You like deer, yes?" she added as she flipped to the next picture.

If Kelly had been talking about something other than the deer, Consuela gave no sign of realizing it or indeed what the closeness of her body had done to his.

"Yes, I think they're beautiful and very tasty," he tried his best to keep his cool.

"Tasty? What means?"

He looked away from her and attempted to focus on the conversation, "It means to like what your are eating."

"Ah, si, I understand." Consuela nodded.

"Those are very pretty," he said as he turned his attention back to her photos and struggled not to look down her shirt.

"Have more on laptop. Can show sometime, yes?"

Kelly started turning a little red in the face, "I would really enjoy that."

Was this an invite to her room? What if it isn't!

Consuela, not noticing the blush as her attention was focused on her camera, continued to scroll through the pictures so that Kelly could see them.

Her body was very close it his. Correction her very beautiful tanned fit body was close to his and he no longer could keep his gaze off of it.

"Y-Y-You are very good at photography," he stammered.

"Gracias." Consuela smiled. "Mi papa, he teach, call hunt with camera."

Her smile matched her body in beauty. He felt is blood drain from his body and head towards other areas of his body, "Consuela I gotta go!"

"Okay. See you, yes?"

"I hope so!"

He turned around quickly and rushed off holding his book below his belt.

Shrugging at Kelly's abrupt disappearance, Consuela resumed her search for photograph worthy subjects.
