Witch Weekly Annual Holiday Party (Thursday 12/19)

[daphne_x]

The Holidays were a cheerful and festive time. In fact, this season was Daphne Greengrass's favorite time of a year. Everyone seemed to be in a better mood around bright lights, wrapped presents, and the jingle bells. It was about the only time that she preferred to see snow on the ground rather than feel the sand between her toes

Mandy was surprised when her work team had received the invitations to Witch Weekleys party. She knew it was to be an extravagant affair and was happy for Anthony because this was sure to be good publicity for his gallery. She immediately went look for a dress and soon fell in love with the one she chose. It was so unique and eye catching that she had to have it.

She had asked Andrew to be her date but that was more so she would have a date she knew she would have a good time with. Also she didn't want to be the only one attending without a date. She didn't expect him to be by her side all night and she was positive he wasn't expecting anything from her. She would be content with a dance or two and him actually acknowledging her in front of his friends.

The place was exquisite looking, Daphne had outdone herself. She had transformed the gallery and she knew Witch Weekly would be please. She stood with a glass of champagne off the side of the dance floor people watching.

Mandy moved with him towards the dance floor, glad that they finally were going to get a change of scenery. Besides it would be fine if they weren't talking the whole time.

Mandy laughed and nodded, "I'll be sure you let me know. Let me know if you will need food. You know my mom loves to cook for you." It was true. Mrs. Brocklehurst always loved Drew and the fact that he seemed to have a bottomless stomach.

His eyes lit up at the mention of food. Drew couldn't help it considering that Mandy's mom's cooking rivaled his mother's home cooked meals. There was nothing as good as a family recipe.

"Don't temp me, Mandy. I'll be owling you every day for your mom's ravioli."

[mandy_dear]

Mandy couldn't help but laugh as they finally made it to the dance floor. She knew his obsession of food all too well. He wasn't shy about it either which is something she had always liked about it.

A new song was starting so she waited for him to make the first move since veryone was just moving around waiting to see what type of song it was. "She shared all her recipies with me last month. So give me a few months and maybe mine will be close enough to that." She shook her head, a few months was a long time away. Hopefully he'd forget about it and it was never to be brought up again. "But I'll be sure to let her know that you miss it."

[drewkirke]

"Mandy, you're killing me. First that dress and now your mom's recipes," he groaned playfully.

In retrospect, he probably shouldn't have said it. But Drew was getting caught up in the moment and the glasses of champagne. The new song was slow and easy.

He wrapped one arm around the small of Mandy's back and took her hand in his other one.

[mandy_dear]

What did he just say?! Clearly she had misheard him. Clearly Drew was just still focused on teh food part. He was just being kind earlier when he said she was looking stunning. Besdies Andrew Kirke had no feelings for her anyways. She'd be surprised if she got anything more from him and the hug when he first arrived.

She put her hand in his and her other on his upper arm adn started dancing to the music. She gave a little laugh," Right, my bad. Next time I go to a formal event with you, I'll plan better."

It was official, she needed more alcohol for this. She dreded the next gossip post, she never was featured very well in those and everyone probably was well of it.

[drewkirke]

"Good, I appreciate it," he laughed, pulling her in.

Drew found the rhythm and began to move the two of them to the music. Strangely enough, he didn't have two left feet. Most days he felt comfortable on the dance floor. He had been an athlete his entire life and he looked at it like just another sport.

"I wonder if Daphne liked me enough yet to book my band for an event," he mused after a moment.

[mandy_dear]

She laughed and shook her head. She didn't understand him at all. She didn't expect to be invited to a formal event for a while and if he was, he certainly wasn't going to be inviting her. They only thing they would be at together is Daphne and Terry's wedding, but Andrew would certainly not ask her to be his date for that. It was the last thing she expected from him.

She thought about what he suggested while swaying against him. She could feel his breath on her and it was bringing back lots of feelings. All Mandy wanted to do right now as lay her head on him like they used to when they were together. She smiled, "I'm sure she would if you talked to her about it. She's knows you well enough."

[drewkirke]

"We both just how picky Daphne is about her work," he reminded her, laughing a bit. While he didn't know her very well he felt like he knew her work habits. If Daphne had a big event coming up that meant Drew was going to see more of Terry.

"We'll see. Jemma - you know Jemma, right? - well, she knows a few producers and thinks she can get them to a show."

[mandy_dear]

She pulled her head back a bit so she could see his face and looked at him in the eye. "Really? That's really exciting Drew! I hope everything works for you. I told you everything would work out for you! Please keep me updated with it." She was happy for him really, he needed something to go good with his music.

She put her head back and it was resting near his cheek but she wasn't going to go the last bit to touch if he didn't want to.

[drewkirke]

Drew placed his hand on the small of Mandy's back to lead her towards the dance floor. It would be nice to move around a little bit.

"Looks like we'll both be planning parties then," he mused, weaving around one of the tables. "Let me know if you need a keg."

Obviously Drew's first thought was beer. Make sure a party is well stocked with beer.
