It had been a day since she had gotten home from Miami, it had been a hell of a trip, a lot of things were faced and for once she felt alive,free of the huge burden she had kept on her shoulders. Smieling she pulled her car to a stop outside the beach, they wernt as good as Miami, but they were good, and she was glad to finally, fully be able to call LA her home.

It was a beautiful day, pretty earlier, in fact the sun had barly rose in the sky yet so no one else was there ,but she had work soon and she just wanted a quite relaxing morning. She slipped out of her shoes, leaving them in the car before heading down to the sandy beach. Only she wasnt as alone as she thought she was.

Jeremy was sitting on the beach, his feet getting buried in the sand as the water rushed up to meet his bare feet. His fingers strumming the guitar sitting on his lap, the tune was one of the ones his mother had used to hum as she worked around the house. It had been a long time since he was able to slip away from life and get back to the beach. But this trip had been worth the walk.

His eyes were focused on the coming sunrise, his fingers blindly moving across the frets and strings. Jeremy had one of his rare content smiles on as he let his mind drift back to happier days, the days when he was back in New York with his friends. The days before his father had packed up the family and moved them all to California for a job that had ended up falling through when the lay offs started.

Jeremy's fingers missed a note as his memories took a dark turn, shaking his head to clear the thoughts away he began again.

Faye had ment to turn and walk further down the beach, but the soft melody that was comeing clearly from the guitar sat on the mans lap had her stopped still, a small soft smile spreading across her face as it reached her ears. She stepped tentavily forward, feet digging into the sand, she hesitated momentarily, letting out a breath.

"That was beautiful"She complimented, dropping down next to him, allowing the sand to mingle in with the water, tickling at her bare feet. She turned towards him, she had obviously shocked him, which of course she hadnt ment to, nor had she ment to intrude on his moment.

"I didnt mean to disturb you"

Jeremy had jumped slightly as someone spoke, "It's alright, I get lost in thought sometimes. Thank you," he said turning to her and smiling softly.

She was a very attractive woman though he knew from experience it was the attractive ones that were dangerous. He looked back at the water as it lapped over his feet, now completely buried in the sand.

"So what brings you to the beach this early in the morning if you don't mind my asking?" He asked as his fingers began to absently pull a melody out of the metal strings once more.

Faye shook herself from her thoughts as he started strumming once more, she had to admit there was something about a guy who knew how to handle a guitar, especially good looking ones with long hair. She smiled, dark gaze flicking over to him, trailing her gaze over his face.

"I have work later"SHe stated softly "And iv just got back from Miami, i wanted to come and relax on an LA beach"

Jeremy smiled, "I see. There is no place like home right?" he asked as he looked her over his dark brown eyes glinting slightly in mischief before he turned his gaze away, "Anything you'd like to hear? People say that I can apparently sing too."

He couldn't find a reason not to at least flirt with the woman beside him at an ungodly hour of the morning watching the sunrise on a beach in LA.

Faye shook her head, for so long Miami had been her home and then after the trouble with Tristan it had stopped being her home, even when she had moved to LA she had been drifting, she was just in between places, but now she had put her life in Miami behind, LA was officialy home. "Yea homes the best"She stated softly, turning her gaze over to the water.

"Er"She laughed, softly, turning to look at him, her dark eyes sparkling, her head tilting to the side, was he really flirting with her, licking her lips she shook her head "how bout you surprise me"SHe stated, and if he really could sing as well as he played she'd probarly melt.

Jeremy nodded, "Alright then," he said taking a deep breath as he went through songs before choosing one as his fingers began to play,
"If I saw you here tonight
In half lit melancholy light
I got you here under my skin
And tryin’ to make you laugh again

When I open up my eyes
I wanna see your face
When you come here
Could you stay with me a while?
And gently break me with your smile?

You know I need you
Like a child needs the stars
So tell me can you hear my heart?

Could you hear me one more time
And put your fingers on my spine
And when I open up my eyes
I wanna see your face
When you come here
Could u stay with me a while?
And gently break me with your smile?

You know I need you
Like a child needs the stars
So tell me can you here my heart
And when you come here
Could you stay with me a while?
And gently break me with your smile?"

Faye sat and listened, her eyes glazing with emotion as she listened, his voice was deep, but velvaty and perfect, she could see the emotion over his face as he effortsly sang and played at the same time, his voice fitting with the chords he was playing.

When he was done she offered him a small clap, her face lit up with a smile. "Well they were right, your voice is incredable"

He grinned brightly, "Why thank you, a beautiful woman telling me I can sing is a wonderful boost of confidence," Jeremy said nodding falling into a lapse of comfortable talking silence as his fingers began to play once more.

It was a nervous tick he had sometimes when the guitar was in his hands. The silence had to be filled, even if it was just by meaningless notes, it had to be filled to keep himself from thinking too much on the past.

Faye blushed at his comment, and she quickly allowed her hair to fall in her face as she turned her gaze away from him, taking in the smell of the sea air she let it out, it was deffiently good to be home. Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she stretched enough for her to grab it out, quickly reading over the text message sent by Jack, smieling, she replied quickly.

"Your welcome, you do this often, entertain woman"SHe questioned, twisting her gaze back over to him.

"I can't say that I've ever entertained a woman as breath taking as you on, the beach just before sunrise," he said truthfully looking at her, "But when I was younger I used to play at one of the bars. I gave it up when work became night shifts."

Jeremy shrugged his indifference, he had enjoyed playing music but there were certain things that made sure that once you were in you never got out. Boosting, racing and falling into the black market business were the things that ran his life now.

Faye blushed again, knowing that this time he was deffiently flirting with her, laughing softly she let out a breath. "I guess i should say thank"She licked her lips, turning as the skye started turning red, shades of orangs and pinks littering the sky, it was a perfect beautiful morning and it was going to be a good day, she just had a feeling and as of late they had been pretty good.

Jeremy looked at the sky, "Beautiful," he breathed as his fingers slowed before stopping entirely.

He turned and looked at the woman next to him, "So how much longer can I bask in the presence of a goddess?" it was a subtle way of asking her if she had to go to work as soon as the sun finished her move above the waterline that was the horizon.

Jeremy had decided that once she had left him to go to wherever she work he should probably get himself home for some sleep.

Faye blushed, dropping her gaze away from him, he was deffiently one of the most charming men she had met in a while, licking her lips she smiled, shaking her head, giving a small shrug.

"Your a real smooth talker" She laughed softly, shaking her head, but he was a good looking one, and other then Jack it had been a while since a nice man had paid attention to her.

"And im not starting untill 10"SHe stated looking over at him. "But if you need to leave, be my guest"

Jeremy laughed, "No I'm fine, I was just wondering how much longer I can have you to myself before you have to rejoin the working world. And thank you, I try."

He looked at her and held out his hand, "I'm Jeremy," he said knowing that he hadn't properly introduced himself to the woman sitting beside him.

He was glad to have had someone run into him this early in the morning, when he was at his most charming. Any later and he would have been rude and brash with the woman who had disturbed his solitude on the beach.

Faye smiled, blushing once more at his comment, it was nice to meet a man that still held some values, turning her gaze to him, she took his hand, a strand of bruente hair falling into her face. "Faye"She stated softly, her dark gaze locked with his, she licked her lips, before allowing her hand to drop backto her knee.

Jeremy smiled, "Nice to meet you Faye. And if I may, your name suits you; Beautiful and mysterious, I can't seem to keep my eyes off of you."

He couldn't help himself, the flirting was a need with women like Faye. He didn't really know her but then again she didn't know him, all she knew was that he could sing and play guitar. There was no need for her to get to know him any more then that, after all she could be taken, not that he would feel bad even if she was.

Faye laughed, lowering her gaze, biting her inner lip she turned her gaze away from him, with a breath she turned back to him. "Well thank you"She stated with another smile, someting in which she couldnt help but do with him around, he just had this presence which ment she couldnt help but not smile, it was something she liked that was for sure.

"Kinda always thought it was plain and boreing myself"

"Many of the most attractive people are the ones that don't think they are. The ones that know they are attractive are the ones that turn into monsters," Jeremy said smiling at her.

His eyes lingered on her for a moment before he looked away back at the rising sun, "So if you have some time, would you be offend if I asked you to breakfast?"
