When David said it was nice to be there with her, she felt her cheeks growing hot slightly, just smiling up at him before sliding back into anothe hug "I'm really glad you came.." She murred gently, watching as everyone was moving about to sit down as the auctionee started heckling that they were starting soon. Ingrid grinned, taking David's hand and pulling him right up to the table at the front, her father sat one side, Rochell on the other.
Rochell smiled at David and pulled the chair out for him. "Oh brilliant, you made it, things are getting started soon so get comfy" She instructed gently. Ingrid's father didn't say a word, obviously having being told that David was going to be there, he didn't seem to think it was worth being alarmed or anything, so jsut sat quietly, sipping his champagne. Ingrid pushed her chair round and sat close to David, not letting his hand go as everyone began to quiet down, and the first few items were called up.
It was easy to tell if Ingrid liked something, as she would gently would kick the back of her Father's chair to get his attention, and he'd bid. That was about it. Nothing more was spoken between them, barely a glance from the man unless Rochell started talking, then she always had his undivided attention as he'd always look at her eyes, smiling along with her and made it his job to but still, not a word.
As the auction grew on, Ingrid made her father bid on all of David's pieces, even if it was only to ram the prices up a bit for him. She smiled at him, hoping he was having fun. She found this kind of thing boring, often shuffling in her chair between items and giving off the occasional yawn, as it was getting pretty late. But that didn't bother her, she was more interested in what David was doing really. She really began to like him.. He was.. very sweet. And he liked being around her, so she thought she finally found someone that didn't want to brush her away after a while. Which was a first.
