Eva bites her lip a bit, but she was done trying to push it with somebody she had just met. "Alright then. I guess," she says back, looking away for a moment as she puts out her cigarette, and immediately grabs for another one, fumbling with the pack for a moment before realizing that there's no other cigarettes in the pack. "Hm, damn..." She comments as she throws the pack into the trash can next to her and sighing. "Um, I don't suppose you'd be willing to part with one of those cigarettes, would you?" She asks, point to his pack. "I'm Eva, by the way."

Jimmy's eyes naturally travelled back to her. She was almost half-way cute when she bit her lip like that. Someone else bit her lip like that and Jimmy was about to say something worse than he already had, but he swallowed his words and exhaled smoke. When he opened his eyes again she was pointing at his pack of cigarettes. "Yeah, yeah sure." He held out the pack to her. |

Eva gives him a small smile and takes one of his cigarettes. "Thanks," she says simply, lighting it and taking a long drag from the cigarette. She silent for a couple minutes, her eyes going from the guy across from her, to her phone, to the cigarette... anywhere she could look to trying to make herself feel less awkward. She pauses on her cigarette for a moment and then looks back at Jimmy. "It's scary," she tells him simply. "It's scary to know exactly how your rest of your life is going to be until you die. I know you asked just be an asshole, but there's your answer. Thanks for the cigarette."

He took another drag as he stared at her. That didn't sound like sarcasm, not after the way she said it at least. Jimmy scratched at the back of his head, his cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth. "Yeah, well. I wouldn't know, so thanks for the insight. You're welcome for the cigarette too." |

Eva gives him another look and shakes her head. "Do I even know you? Did I do something that pissed you off? You came over and acted like an asshole to me for no reason, and I'm just completely confused."

"Can't say we ever met. To be completely honest with you, I'm a little confused as to why I said anything either." He looks over at her and pulls the cigarette from his mouth, stamping it out under his foot in one motion. "I'm James." He mentioned offhandedly. |

Eva lets out a little laugh. The whole situation that she had found herself in was all too ridiculous and confusing that she had to laugh at it. She wasn't used to somebody talking to her the way that this guy did - so cryptic and yet so blunt. It just wasn't something she'd ever been around. "Well, nice to meet you, James," she says back, taking a long drag of her cigarette, watching him, as if something was going to be revealed to her if she just kept her eye on him.

Jimmy sunk deeper in his chair. He'd been talking to more people than he really intended to for the last few weeks. God, it was almost as if people wanted to fuck with his relative state of tranquillity. "Smoking's bad for you, if you don't stop early enough, you could have a lifetime of problems." He mentioned, once again off-handedly. |

Eva laughs even more when Jimmy tries to give her health advice about smoking. "You sound like my father," she says back between her laughs, taking another drag as if to rub it in the face of both her parents and Jimmy that she didn't care. "Plus, you smoke. Who are you to tell me that it's bad for me?"

Jimmy shrugs, man she was pretty animated, and always laughing. In a way it was interesting to be around her, just like that Casey character from a few days ago. Were people really like this? "Me, smoke? Why I'd never." |

Eva smirks. "Right, of course. I just imagined that I got this cigarette from you," she says back, rolling her eyes in a joking sort of way. "What're you doing here? Do you normally start up confusing, convoluted conversations with women you don't know, or is this a special one-night-only sort of thing?"

A little honesty couldn't hurt for the moment. "To be honest, I think randomly speaking to women I've never met before is becoming the new regular in my life." He turned back to Eva, smiling for the first time since they'd met, "But if you want it to feel special, be my guest." |

Eva laughs a little, seeing him smile making her feel like she had actually accomplished something in this conversation. "No, you already ruined it now," she says back jokingly, a bit of a faux pout on her face. "I can't feel special if I'm just another normal, random occurrence."

Jimmy began to tap his foot again, his smile staying for just a little bit longer. "Well, 'least you're the first woman I've imparted my wisdom to outside of a coffee shop. Little bit less special, but I think you could still write a book on it." |

Eva smiks and shrugs. "I can work with that," she says back, finishing off her cigarette and putting it out under her shoe. "You didn't answer my question, though. What're you doing here? Waiting for sombody like me to come along, or just... waiting in general?"

He'd been trying to avoid that question initially. Because truth be told, he was here for the same reasons he was anywhere else. Trying to forget a person, and finding lyrics in public (least that was how he did it). "Wasting time." He lied, "The way you said that last thing though makes it seem like I'm the Morgan Freeman of coffee shops." |

Eva laughs loudly, shaking her head. "No... you're not nearly cool enough to be the Morgan Freeman of coffee shops," she says back jokingly, winking. "Wasting time, huh?" She pulls her feet up onto the chair she was sitting in so that her knees were up to her chest. She rests the top of her head on one of her knees and smiles. "Until what?"

"That's a good question." He taps his fingers on his seat's arm-rest. "A really good one." |

"Ha, alright then..." Eva says back with a little laugh. Eva is silent for a few moments, looking around. She wasn't content to just be sitting outside of the worst coffee shop she had ever been to, but she also found this man too interesting to leave just yet. "So you have no other plans for the day?"

"None whatsoever." Jimmy yawned after he spoke, then stretched his arms out. "Being non-sarcastic, I actually planned to spend most of my day sitting out infront of a coffee shop." |
