"Thanks. I'm so sorry!" he said again, walking back down to his room and rummaging about for clothes that he wanted to wear. Upon finding his 'The Living End' shirt and a pair of jeans, he threw them in the washing machine with a set of smalls and turned it on, singing to himself as he cleaned up his Laundry a slight bit.
Walking back down to Keely he sat on one of the couches. "Sorry about all this.. Urgh. I'm hopeless with washing. I hate it."

"Don't be sorry, I'm pretty sure there's nobody who actually likes doing their washing," Keely replied, laughing slightly. She sat down as well, sitting perched near the edge of the lounge, hands resting lightly in her lap, fingers fiddling with the fabric of her jeans.

James had to laugh at this. "One day I'll introduce you to my mother. She's sweet.. But likes to clean. Alot." which was true - moving out had given him lots more tiem, as he didn't have to clean his room all the tiem. However, this meant cleaning his whole house.. Which he did. On occasion.
He heard the beeps of the washing machine and went to go switch it into the dryer, which took like five minutes - 'twas really quick. Pulling the clothes and such out of the dryer, he put it all back on and walked down to Keely.
"Alright!" he said with a grin. "Finally finished! Shall we take our tour now? And would the lady like to travel by bike, or car?"

"Sure thing...Bike sounds good," Keely replied after a moment or two of consideration, smiling back at him. Standing up, Keely fixed the bottom of her black and white top, she was beginning to feel more and more comfortable around James even though she had only just met him. She figured that was a good thing though, he seemed to be really nice, and she needed to get to know people around here if she was going to stay.

"Sweet!" James replied with a grin and he disappeared for a few seconds, finding his second helmet. Re-appearing, he held a sleek black sports helmet in his hand that matched his own.. And, well, his bike. For some unknown reason. Well, perhaps it is known. But y'know.
Handing the helmet to Keely, he suddenly thought it a shame that her gorgeous black, curly hair would result in matted down, helmet-hair not long after she eventually took that selfsame helmet off again. Fishing in his pocket, he found lots of lint. He made a mental note to remove all pocket lint from his pockets when he got home and did the rest of his washing. He fished down a bit further in his pants and clasped his fingers around the key.
Opening the house door, he waited for Keely to come outside with him, before locking up and seating himself on his bike, patting behind him with a butter-wouldn't-melt look.

While walking out of James' house, Keely pulled a hair tie from her pocket and put her hair up, leaving it tied near the nape of her neck so it wouldn't get in the way of the helmet. She swung her leg easily over the bike to sit where James had indicated. ooc: this post sucks, I take 5 points from myself

Keely was now seated behind James. They both had their helmets on, so it was going to be a bit hard to hear things. He'd give her the low-down anyway, just in case she hadn't been on a bike before.
"Hold on around my waist, not too tight but don't let go. Lean when I lean, but not too much." he said with a nod, tipping his visor back down to shut the helmet then starting the bike and walking it out backwards.

Keely held onto James firmly but not too tight after also putting the visor on her own helmet down. She thought suddenly of how the situation was slightly awkward, seeing as though they had only just met and all, but she quickly brushed it away, her confidence over riding any sense of apprehension she had about it.

For some reason, having Keely as a pillion passenger just felt right. James put his right foot up on the peg, pressing down on his back brake before starting the engine and giving it a few revs to help it warm up. With a quick look behind him to check Keely was all set up, he dropped the bike down into first and did a quick circle before bringing his left foot back to the peg and leaving it there, pulling out of the drive way. First stop - the park. Then the plaza, he decided.

Keely felt more relaxed than she had been for a while, the tension draining out of her body as they rode along. The back of her mind was still preocuppied with worried thoughts over all the things she would have to organise and do the next day, seeing as though she had made up her mind to stay here in Aura Valley. Though she still paid attention to the road for turns and the like.

James smiled to nobody in particular as he felt Keely relax, her body not so tense against his back anymore. He made a mental note to ask her what she planned to do in Aura Valley for the future after the ride.
Slowing the bike down and putting it down a gear or two, James leant to the left as they pulled into the driveway of the park. It was a peaceful place, filled with nature - and generally horse poop.

Keely leant with James as they turned, wondering where he was taking her exactly. She had decided that the first thing she'd do after this was find a place to stay until she found a place to rent or something.

James jumps Keely and has his evil way with her.
Nah. Lol. xDD
Real post:
James pulled up in the carpark of the park (park x2 xD) and killed the bike, waiting for Keely to move off it before getting off himself. They were now at the park.. He somewhat though about informing her of this.
Getting off the bike, he pulled his helmet off, running a hand through his now-flat hair. "This, cause I have forgotten to mention on the way here, is the park." James said with a slight grin. Attaching his and Keelys helmet to the side of the bike, he turned to her.
"Last one to the slide is a wrotten egg!" and with that, took off at a jog to the close by playground.

Keely caught up to James, and in a few strides began to overtake him, laughing lightly. Her hair came loose from the band she had pulled it back with, so she pocketed the band before it fell out of her hair completely. She looked back at James and gave him a huge grin, a cheeky glint in her eyes.

"Oi, cheater!" James called out, laughing as Keely pulled in front of him. Putting a little extra speed into his run, he almost caught level with Keely - almost.
She'd beaten him to the slide.
Dammdammdamm.
"Well, promise not to break me, then." he said with a mock-solemn look on his face, which broke into a cheeky grin. "But you still cheated." he laughed, bracing himself for the light whack he expected in return.
