[she's figured out his ways by now. Adam got flustered easily and he deflected to jokes when he felt any type of anxiety. she gets it because she always turns to flirting and being playful to not consider anything more serious at times. this habit of his was not something she would hold against him.

moving to get up onto his lap, straddling him because she knows what exactly has him worried. sure he's seen her naked but it's been professional. but he hadn't seen her naked because she did it for him. he probably liked the idea and wasn't going to be too honest about that just yet until she was out in the open with it. so that's what she was doing. Maria didn't mind making the first step, now that she was sure Adam was just as into her as she was him. she was happy to do so honestly.]

Oh yeah, a guy like you definitely has a Dido CD I'm sure. [she is looking him directly in his eyes, smiling. he can joke all he wants and she'll match him.] Come on. It'll be nice. I can wash your back, you can wash mine, and we can listen to Puddle of Mudd. [if he has any music, she is sure it's them.]
