[During] The State Dinner

Jun 01, 2011 00:17

Clay was dreading this State Department dinner for months, but it was one of those occasions that had to happen to maintain his cover. Usually, he managed to be out of the country for things like this, but since he'd become Deputy Director, he was behind a desk more often than he was in an airplane seat. Which meant, he had to go.

Annie was enjoying herself immensely. The dress that she'd chosen flattered her body and, of course, she'd chosen blue because Jai liked her in it. He'd complimented her when he picked her up and over and over again throughout the evening. And though she wasn't wearing any diamonds at all tonight, she thought she'd done well accessorizing when she borrowed Danielle's pearl stud earrings to highlight the simplicity of the dress ( ... )

Clay didn't draw attention to anything really, electing just to dance with Annie. Anything he could possibly say would just cause a problem. For the next three minutes he could just pretend that they never broke up, Jai wasn't dating Annie, and everything was happy again.

Though the song was a waltz, something they'd always danced well together, Annie found it difficult to relax completely. It didn't show in her movements at all and anyone watching them from the outside wouldn't have been able to notice a difference. In fact, it may have looked even more intimate than any other dance either of them had done previously simply because of their history.

For her part, Annie found it distracting to be so close to him. He smelled the same, felt the same... holding her breath didn't do anything to help, especially since he was holding her so close.

He wasn't usually one to need any sort of escapism, but right now his little fantasy was working out pretty well, except that Annie's shampoo changed. For some reason that caused a whole host of questions to form in his mind. Did they stop making hers? Was it really Jai's? Did she just not like it anymore?

The things he thought about.
