@maria <3 "Well I don't believe you, and you don't look like you believe yourself." Her facial expression was one of anger and thought, and Samuel could be wrong. She could actually be telling the truth. But that was more for her to figure out for herself. He continued smiling. Maria didn't say anything about his old girlfriend that he could actually be angry for, so he answered honestly. "No, I shouldn't know that. Good things came from that love, except the person it was with. Someday I'll find a girl who truly loves me. And someday you'll find that person too."
The roll of her eyes made him laugh again. "Oh, sweet Maria, you know I'll count on it." Samuel smirked. Annoying her had become... Enthralling. And even if it set him on fire, he'd continue. Getting a laugh was enjoyable.

Being called out on not believing her own words made Maria snarl. And he was still smiling! As if this was the most amusing thing that had happened to it in a while. She chose not to respond to the statement all because she didn't know how to respond. She could deny it but it'd only sound like an excuse at this point. Reaching out Maria grabbed a fist full of dreadlocks to tug him down to her eye level. He wasn't to much taller but she'd rather look him straight in the eye. "Up until they leave. It doesn't matter how much good came of it then." She sharply answered. How could you want something when you knew it'd only hurt in the end?

@maria <3 Her silence told him he may have gone too far, but he continued to smile at her. Samuel didn't want to deliberately anger her, even if that's what it looked like. It was just a small annoyance that he wanted to be. Even so, Samuel knew when to stop. He didn't want the poor girl to hate - "Ughhh." Samuel saw Maria's hand move before he felt it. She grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled him down closer to her. Except Samuel wasn't looking at her. His eyes had rolled into the back of his head, and he shut them, his groan quietly leaving his open lips. Maria said something, but he didn't hear her. It was like he was in a trance, a shiver running down his spine. The tingling at the tip of his head felt so good and he knew once she let go he'd be ... Well, angry and embarrassed.

Maria hadn't meant to use something he'd admitted he liked 'to much' as he put it. It was just that his hair was within reach so that's what she grabbed. Plus being dreadlocks made them ideal to grab. His reaction though... well he hadn't been kidding when they'd discussed it! Both Maria's eyebrows raised in mild surprise as all he could do with groan, completely missing what she'd said. She should have let go right then and apologized. But she wasn't in an apologizing mood. And it was interesting seeing this reaction.
So, she hung out for a few more moments, just watching his expression. It was almost nice to see that he wasn't as impervious and above attraction as he acted. That he had a weakness that she could useagainst him whenever he was being particularly annoying. So, after a few more moments she released those captive dreadlocks. "If you really don't want people pulling your hair so much you shouldn't leave it in such a vulnerable style."

@maria <3 Finally. She let it go. Samuel sighed loudly, his eyes still shut. He twisted his head back in a circling motion before looking back at Maria, his green eyes meeting hers with a flash of anger. "Most people won't just randomly grab them and pull!" Samuel snapped at her. She looked so gleeful and happy with herself, it angered him to no end. Samuel knew she had held on for a little longer, even if he hadn't been watching her do so. She was a pain like that, and obviously a tease.
"And had you asked, normally I pull some of it back. Not all of it, as it gives me a headache. Giving me more reason to just cut them off." Thankfully Samuel wasn't a blushing type, no matter how embarrassed he managed to get. But he couldn't believe he had done that. Not only just in front of her, but in public! What if someone had seen that? "You can't do that in public, Maria." He angrily whispered to her.

Pulling on his hair had done wonders on that boiling anger she'd been feeling up until a few moments ago. Sure she was still mad but it was more manageable and easier to hide. Shrugging at angry response it was obvious she didn't care as much as she probably should. "Your hair was to close, I couldn't fight the temptation." She did like playing (or in this case pulling) on people's hair after all.
Still. If they were such a hassle for him, why did he have them? Besides the fact that they suited him quite nicely. "I think you should keep them. Headaches and all." He'd kept good care of them and if he didn't like then he wouldn't have let them get this long.
That angry and hurried whisper made both eyebrows raise again, before Maria smirked. "Are you saying I can in private?" she'd already made it clear that she didn't want to seduce him... but she couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease him for that statement.

@maria <3 Samuel couldn't help but roll his eyes. Of course it was just 'too close'. What an excuse. Samuel would most likely try to keep it up in a bun from now on when he was around Maria. Especially knowing how much she enjoyed sexual acts. He wasn't going to be put in that position again, definitely not with her at least. "Temptation, smation." He shook his head but shut his eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath to calm down.
"I probably will, only because it took so long to grow them out and keep them so nice. And I like them even if they do give me a headache." Samuel looked down and grabbed one, twisting it around in his fingers. It was like a security blanket of sorts, his hair. Something that would be quite emotional to give up yet at the same time so freeing. Maria spoke and Samuel's entire expression changed to shock and confusion. "N-No! That is not what I am saying Maria!"

Maria couldn't help but roll her own eyes as well when he commented on her excuse of temptation. "Who's the immature one now?" He may be older but obviously that didn't mean he was more mature. Though his admitting he'd probably keep them made her grin. "Then accept the fact that people are going to pull on them from time to time." and by people she meant herself. Temptation, remember?
Oh, now that was a great reaction! He was so flustered that he stuttered for a moment! Maria laughed and took a step back from him so his hands would fall from her shoulders. "Then why did you say 'in public'? Oh come on, didn't I already tell you I didn't want to seduce you? Don't get so huffy."

@maria <3 "I'm not immature. Just couldn't think of a word that rhymed with temptation in that sentence." He grinned at her. Since Samuel was smart, he didn't comment any further. He knew that telling Maria a single word didn't make you immature, the way you acted in general did wasn't the best idea as she'd probably definitely set him on fire this time. Tempting, but not enough. "You know, most people don't just go around pulling others' hair. That makes you look loony."
His shock turned into anger as she laughed at him and moved back. His hands fell down to his sides and Samuel immediately put them in his pockets away from her. "I only said in public because that's not how I want people to see me! Don't act so daft." He shook his head and walked past her, pushing her shoulder with his slightly and went back over to his blanket. His coffee was now cold and he grimaced and threw it in a nearby trash can, ignoring whatever she was doing behind him as he bent over to clean up a bit.

Maria raised an eyebrow. "Making it rhyme sounds pretty immature." She stated, as she grinned back. "And just so you know, there are words that rhyme with it. Just not appropriate for your innocent mind." She teased as she reached up and patted his cheek. Not like a dog, but like a child. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. You're just as 'immature' as I am." Okay, teasing him this mercilessly might not be the best idea but it was fun. And he deserved it after ticking her off so much. As he said pulling hair made her look loony she did one of her exaggerated head tilts. "First, I'm not most people. Second, I really don't care if people call me loony or crazy. So say it as much as you want."
This whole anger thing was like a bouncy ball, switching back and forth between them without warning. Fast and furious. He'd pushed past her, his shoulder brushing hers as he moved back to the blanket. She could have easily pulled on his hair again, but this time managed to fight the temptation. Stealing a quick glance at the time she still had a few hours until she'd meet up with Viola so... She had plenty of time. Immediately she followed him to the blanket and scooped up his guitar and slipped the strap over her head so the instrument could hang on her back. "Fine, if you're going to be so uptight about this whole public thing and how I'm ruining your image. Come on." Picking up the blanket she pushed it into his arms and starting to walk away. "Or you could not follow, but then you'd lose your guitar. Your choice!" She called over her shoulder. She knew where she was going, but he'd find out if he followed.

@maria <3 She spoke and spoke and spoke and Samuel felt the anger bubbling up inside of him. He was not immature, and he had never had been. And the fact that she just kept saying it over and over again just told everyone how obvious it was that she was still a child. And then she patted his cheek. Samuel smacked her hand away. "Shut up, Maria. No one wants to hear your childish voice. And do not touch me."
Before he had the chance to pick up his guitar after throwing away his coffee, this damn girl picked it up and took it away from him. What the hell! Samuel stood up and shut his eyes, his head leaning back as turned his face towards the sky. "Lord, give me strength." Samuel needed to take a few breaths, but obviously wasn't allowed to when Maria shoved the blanket into his chest. His hands went up to grasp it so it didn't fall, his eyes flinging open. He immediately followed after her, not being able to hold the anger in anymore, walking a few paces behind her. "You know what? You're a terror! An absolute terror! Like a little toddler you are! Can't respect anyone's privacy or space or opinion! Always butting into everything and acting like you're so much better than everyone else. And you know what? I am not immature, if anything, you stealing is immature you dimbo! I don't eve know why I keep talking to you and allowing you near me you're so childish! The only reason I'm following you now isn't for conversation it's to get my damn guitar and get out of here, that things expensive! But you wouldn't know, you haven't got any class..." He continued on, eventually not being so loud and mumbling about how annoying she was as they continued walking.

It looked like the angry bouncy ball was staying in his side of the court for now, because Samuel was not happy about the cheek pat or her comments. Maria just smirked and 'tsked' wagging a finger to silently telling him off after her swatted her hand away. He was playing into her hands now, and she wasn't going to let him regain control by making her angry.
Ignoring that little prayer he'd offered to heaven she just kept walking. It took him only a moment to catch up. And when he did? He began a long rant about her being a terror and all the ways she was one. Of course he had to through in the fact that he was only following because she had his guitar and it was expensive. His voice quieted as he continued, probably out of concern that someone might overhear his rant. She just flicked her hair over her shoulders as they walked, heading towards the outskirts of town. "I wouldn't consider it stealing since I intend to give it back eventually. Consider it leverage, or blackmail, or whatever you want to call it." She answered simply. The path they were on was beginning to steadily incline, up the hill on the edge of the wizarding town. Throwing her arms out to the side she beamed. "Yell all you want now! No one will hear you out here!" She intentionally yelled then, letting her voice carry in the wind. She almost sounded... happy.

@maria <3 The mumbling eventually stopped. At least, when he felt better about calling her every name in the book and getting out all of his anger. Samuel would probably pray later that night about his anger. This girl made him more upset lately than he'd been in awhile. That probably wasn't a good thing, yet he continued to keep himself around her. He made a promise to himself on their walk to... Wherever they were going, that next time she cornered him in Hogsmeade he'd leave. She couldn't follow him then! Don't want to get sent back to poor old Durmstrang. He ignored her first comment but when she threw her arms out and yelled, he stopped walking, giving her a confused look. "What you take me out here for, going to kill me?" Obviously Samuel knew she wasn't, but it sure as hell looked that way.

Maria laughed. Of course she wasn't going to kill him! Maim if he was particularly annoying... possibly. But not kill. "You're to pretty to kill." She admitted, not meaning it as a compliment or an insult. Just a fact. Hey, Maria wasn't afraid to admit when people were attractive, it wasn't anything to be embarrassed about. That was when she realized he'd stopped walking. She stopped and turned to look back at him, hands planted on her hips. "Now stop dawdling, and hurry up." Bossy little thing, wasn't she?
Turning back towards the path she kept walking, picking up the pace as they continued hiking the hill. Finally they made it to the top though and Maria turned to look down at the wizarding village below. Only then did she pull the guitar off her back just before sitting down on the ground, staring out at the town. "Just so you know. I do care. But I'm sick of letting people judge me. So I might as well control what they think about me. At least then I can see it coming." She couldn't admit that down there, where anyone could see. But up here? Up here, it didn't matter. Because it was just them.

@maria <3 Of course he was too pretty to kill, there she goes again. It was nice, but Samuel rolled his eyes anyways. He'd rather be handsome than pretty any day even if both were good options. Maria's reaction to him not walking anymore amused him yet he looked at her incredulously. Hands on her hips and everything! Laughing to himself, he continued walking behind her, hands in his own pockets and the blanket flung over his shoulder. She could carry his guitar any day.
Once they got to the top of wherever they were, she finally put his guitar down and stared at all the little people down below. Samuel would admit, it was a nice sight, all the lights and little buildings. But her words were even nicer. He placed the blanket down and put his hands in his pockets, moving a little closer. "You'd rather them think you're some wench rather then just being who you are? I think that's a lot of work for no reward to you, Maria. And not worth who you really are."
