The Holiday Ball ((Gathering Post))

[prophetepiphany]

All in all, the holiday ball comes together beautifully. There's a huge Christmas tree that Laura has nothing to do with - the village has a way of making things appear, and honestly, she's glad she didn't have to decorate it. There is a group of tables on one side of the large ballroom, decorated with deep red and gold and servers waiting around

'Formal' wasn't Ramona's thing, usually, but she found a way to make it work for her and picked out a dress unusual enough to suit her personality. And just for the hell of it, she'd done her hair a temporary light chestnut color instead of one of her usual bold wild colors, just to see what it looked like.

It would, of course, be back to pink again next week. That was just how she rolled.

Taking a break from socializing, she gathered up a nice little plate full of hors d'oeuvres, milled around the drink station while she nibbled on a miniature tart and contemplated whether or not she wanted a glass of champagne or a cocktail.

Sam wished her could say that he didn't dress up all that much but he did. Of course, it wasn't really for parties as much as it was dressing up so that he could pretend he was an FBI agent or something but that wasn't the point. The point was that he was used to wearing suits though none of them had ever been as nice as the one he was wearing right now.

The grey suit had been tailored to fit him and it seemed his girlfriend had agreed since she had said something about it being too nice to rip later on. Of course, he probably wouldn't mind if she tried.

The other thing he liked about his suit was that he had gone without a tie of some sort, leaving the top two buttons undone so he could breathe easily as he made his way through the crowd towards Ramona. He was carrying two glasses of champagne, one of which he offered to her when he got close enough.

"Have I said lately how amazing you look?" He smiled.

"Define lately," Ramona quipped, kissing his cheek in thanks for the champagne. She took a sip as she tucked in close to Sam's side and glanced around. "Hell of a party."

"Last few minutes since we left the hotel?" He countered with a chuckle, wrapping an arm around her as she tucked herself against his side. "Yeah, it is. That tree is impressive."

"Then no, you haven't said it lately, how remiss and neglectful of you," she teased, bumping him lightly with her shoulder. The tree was pretty nice...she'd grown up in New York, though, and had definitely seen more impressive Christmas decor.

"You want to dance?" she asked as the music turned slow. She couldn't swing dance for shit, but she could rotate slowly in one place while hanging on to her boyfriend. No sweat.

He chuckled, ducking his head in a sheepish manner which caused his long hair to flop in his eyes. "I'm sorry." He flashed a crooked smile, leaning over to press a kiss to her temple.

Glancing towards the dance floor, he hesitated till the music turned slow. "Sure." He could handle slow dancing as well. Still smiling, he took her hand so he could lead her to the dance floor.

Resisting the urge to run her fingers through his hair, Ramona set her champagne glass down and laced her hand with Sam's, letting him lead her out amid the rest of the couples. "Look, my heels make me look less midget-y next to you," she teased, moving in close enough to sway with him, cheek to cheek. "Only four inches shorter instead of eight."

Re: OTA

"I noticed, I like it." Yes, Ramona in heels was always a nice sight. Especially if she was naked and wearing one of her pleated skirts.

As soon as his mind started to wander, he cleared his throat and focused on dancing instead. Wrapping an arm around her waist, he smiled down at her before leaning in to press his cheek to hers.

"Was it a nice place, wherever your brain went just now?" Ramona asked with a coy smirk, running a hand up to toy through the hair at the nape of his neck.

Re: OTA

"Um, yes?" Sam looked somewhat sheepish at the fact that she had caught him and he blushed just a bit while ducking his head with a chuckle. "It was very nice."

[saysalotofstuff]

Ramona snickered, then pulled away just enough to raise up on her toes and kiss him softly before tucking in close again, pressing her cheek against his. "Good to know."

[thats_hellfire]

"It's your fault, you know." He chuckled, letting the kiss linger before sliding to press his cheek against hers. Stll holding her lightly against his body, he swayed a little. "Not that I mind, of course."

[saysalotofstuff]

"You better not mind," Ramona teased, playing with the lapels of his jacket. They weren't really dancing so much as swaying a little and rotating, but she really didn't care. "Otherwise I did a lot of painstaking underwear shopping for nothing."

[thats_hellfire]

He closed his eyes at the mention of underwear shopping, turning his head to press his face against her hair as he gave another low chuckle against her ear. "Yeah? What did you get?" He murmured.

[saysalotofstuff]

"Are you really opting for tell over show?" Ramona asked with a quirked eyebrow and a smirk. "Choose wisely, Winchester."

[thats_hellfire]

Of course he was going to choose show over tell, he was a smart guy after all, but he couldn't resist a little smirk. "I always thought it was show and tell."
