Welcome to Sunnydale?

[india_h]

Ok, check this; I get a call from some guy last week telling me my older sister Isabella's been hurt and that she had to be hospitalized. So, being the good sister I am, I take the first flight I can get and jet out to Cali. Of course, Iz being who she is, wasn't all that happy to see me. Just 'cause SHE doesn't keep in touch with any of us that

I decide to give him a break, since he's not my usual type. Can't really see him going for the casual sex thing, and I'm actually wanting to get to know more than just what he'd look like in my bed. The song ends, so I step back from him a little relunctantly. "That was nice, thank you, Vince."

I can't help but give him one of my trademark looks as I lead him back to the table, still holding his hand. "Feel like another drink before we call it a night?"

Regret sorta creeps in as she pulls awya, I wanna keep dancing with her. It's for the best though. Getting hung up on a girl that i really have no business even wanting is just a catagorically bad idea. She's too young, she's Izzy's sister, she's beautiful and fascinating. "No thank you, India."

Not ready to part company yet, "Sure one more drink, then I'll take you home." Only letting go of her hand to sit dowm. I smile at her. "So, tell me more about yourself. How did you like living in New York? If you and Izzy get things worked out how long do you think you'll stay?"

[india_h]

I shrug at the New York question. "It was ok, but to be rather honest, I've gotten tired of it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great city to live in, and I had a lot of fun..." I kind of smile at the thought of some of the fun I had there, things he'd be better off not knowing. "...a LOT of fun, but it's kinda old."

I look him straight in the eye and take a sip of my new drink. "I think I'm ready for something new. If I can get Iz to actually talk to me, I might just totally move here so I can be closer to her."

[j_random]

"Yeah, I hear ya on it getting old part. Born and raised there for the most part, myself. Don't think I woulda wanted it any other way. But after working for the city and well for other reasons, staying on an extended vacation seems like a good option." I see the look she get when thinking about her time there. I'm sure I don't want to know. "That kinda fun was more Stefs department."

"I'm sure you and her will work things out. When she's not ticked, she's actually alright to talk to. Unlike my brother, who seems to only have that one mode."

[india_h]

I laugh a little and skip right over what he said about the fun I had back in the city. "I don't know, Stefan seemed ok to me. I haven't really talked to him much, he's too busy hovering over Iz. Makes my job of taking care of her easier, though." I wink at him. "He can deal with her bitching that she doesn't need any help."

I go back to playing with the straw in my drink and put on my best innocent face. "So, you're thinking of sticking around, too?"

[j_random]

"He loves her. Thats why he's hovering. He's never really been in love, not like this." I shake my head. "Today was the first time in weeks, make that years that we actually got through the day without wanting to kill each other. I don't know, maybe he has changed. I'm sure you'll get along with him just fine. You are similar in some ways...Not the pain in the as ones. I haven't known you long enough to think that, though I'm sure I wont."

"Yeah, I told Stef I was gonna stick around to ah..well just that I would stick around just in case. I guess I'd like to try and reconnect with him as well."

[india_h]

"Cool, then I have someone to hang out with when she's off doing things with Stefan." I smile brightly at him. "I'm happy she has him, though. She deserves some happiness." I take a drink and then mock pout at him. "And hey! You're damn straight I'm not a pain in the ass!"

[j_random]

Smiling, thinking I'd enjoy her company. At the same time kicking myself in the ass. "I'd like that. Be nice to know some else in town." Laughing,looking at her feigning skepticism, "I don't know, you look like you could possibly be a pain in the ass."

[india_h]

Oh my God, is he teasing me now? "I am so not a pain in the ass!" One good turn deserves another, though. "Unless you're into that sort of thing, I've never tried it but I think I could do a decent job at dominatrix." I can't help but smirk, and the look on his face is priceless. Unfortunately I crack up, losing all sense of seriousness I may have had.

[j_random]

Theres an image that will keep me awake at night for a long time to come. Man, she's...trouble. I take a long drink, while I recover. Clearing my throat, then I smile ruefully, "Um well, yeah. I'll have to keep that in mind." Before I can stop myself I ask, "Any other hidden aspirations you wanna share? Aside from a dominatrix gig?"

[india_h]

That could potentially be a bad question to ask me, and I just know he expects an answer that'll make him blush. "Actually, yeah. I'd much rather get to know you better before I have my wicked way with you." Whoa, where the hell did that come from?! "Then we'll see what other hidden aspirations I'm willing to share." Ok, that sounded more like me.

[j_random]

She makes it sound like she firmly believes she will get to have her way with me as she put it. I'm not sure what to say exactly. So I do what come naturally, I joke. "Nah after you get to know me then you wont want to have your way with me. I'm old and boring."

[india_h]

I smile at him genuinely. "You're definitely not old and boring, Vince."

[j_random]

I smile back at her. "Glad you think so. Maybe you can convince Stef and my other sibs. They act like I'm one lecture on resposibilty away from needing an old folks home." Finishing up my drink. Not ready to leave, but knowing it's probably a good idea.

[india_h]

I grin and knock back the rest of my drink. "Stick with me babe and they won't think that for long. In the meantime, any wild things you want me to try and convince Stefan you did?"

[j_random]

"Actually, I would probably prefer if Stef didn't know about any of the wild things I've done or may do in the future. Kind allows me to be all big brother knows best when he pulls some dumbass stunt. But maybe sometime I'll let you in on my hidden darker side." I say with a wink, "And yeah, I believe sticking with you would definitely dissuade them from that opinion."
