The Tinsel and Tommy-Guns Holiday Ball

Dec 17, 2005 02:50

"A little to the left." I smiled up at John, glad that he had decided to take on some of the work this time. During the first six years of our marriage, he was content to leave the hosting duties up to me. I never considered a holiday party something John could get into before he told me about his interest in Art History. I guess you could say, ( Read more... )

Considerably later... msattentionspan December 18 2005, 05:53:40 UTC

Faith enjoyed spending time with Jason, and once she had made sure he had her info and all that they parted ways so he could meet some other guests and Faith could continue to get her drink on even more! Hey who knows what or who might find her here. She wasn't going to leave until they kicked her out.

Even then they might have a bit of trouble.

So Faith mills about the crowd of people and figures someone will recognize her or spot her or something eventually, unlike that tiny mouse of a brunette girl over in the corner with.. is that Lindsey? Ha! No wonder she is all alone, no one's gonna go talk to a girl and her lawyer.

Hopefully they'll come to Faith and she'll dazzle them with her stunning vocab.

Or not.

She doesn't even remember what she said to him, mainly because the autopilot has been switched on for her and she is pretty much in that 'mmm... boy' mode right now. Girls been a bit lonely lately anyway. Running around after spoiled suburban girls trying to explain to them that they won't die just because they have had sex ( ... )

Linus swallowed on nothing, the nervousness from a few minutes before coming back, though it was a more faint feeling than it had been at the start of their conversation. He didn't want to up and run the way that he had hoped to originally. Now Linus was content to be near her. Near the beautiful almost stranger whose name he knew and whose profession seemed even more questionable than his.

The closer Faith moved to him the more Linus had to remind himself not to react. It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was just a bad decision for him, morally.

Really, Linus' main concern was the heavy scent of alcohol on Faith's breath. Sure, he was finally starting to realize that he could take her away from the party to have fun elsewhere. After all, Faith did say that she would go wherever he wanted. And as a result of Faith's advances, there were places Linus would have liked to go with her, and very personal things that he would have liked to do ( ... )

Sadly she felt his hands run along hers only to remove them from where they had been quite comfortable. The compliments were nice, but they almost felt like a brush off to Faith. Wasn't she hot? Surely he wanted to just leave the holiday party and go somewhere and get naked, but still he was being the gentleman and Faith? Wasn't used to that at all. Plus he wanted to talk, which was really weird.

Faith had listened a lot earlier when she had met up with Connor, and the thought that someone at some random holiday party would be interested in anything she had to say that didn't end with "Your place or mine?" Still there was something about this guy that she wasn't really offended as much as she was shocked. So when he pulled her hands off of him, she stopped kissing him ( ... )

He made himself comfortable, resting his arm on the back of the sofa behind Faith's head. While she was talking Linus was mentally going over the places Faith had been, remembering his own time spent in each location. Boston was a city that Linus came and went in whenever he needed or simply wanted to. He had family and friends there and liked the area enough, but the opportunity to develop his craft was greater in Chicago ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... msattentionspan December 23 2005, 11:44:39 UTC

The guy was trying at least which seemed admirable to Faith. After the night she had on Friday coupled with the Company Party on Saturday Faith actually enjoyed the slightly uneasy way of Linus. Spending two nights in a row with over confident cocky men set on breaking some law or personal rule had more than a slight toll on Faith. Connor was a good kid, but emphasis on the word Kid. She thought of him that way, mainly because he was Angel's kid. Harry seemed a bit troublesome to Connor, but Faith wasn't going to stand in the way of what seemed pretty innocent ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... _juniorvarsity_ December 24 2005, 08:56:42 UTC

Linus began battling his conscience the very second Faith pressed her lips against his. Had his brain been able to fully function, Linus would have quickly separated from her and made that run for it that he'd initially planned. It was different when she was kissing him; his nature seemed to be losing the fight because the rest of him knew beyond a doubt that a part of him had been hoping for this from nearly the very beginning of their conversation.

Linus returned the kiss, knowing that he shouldn't let it continue while wanting it to at the same time. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to do, after all. Faith was pretty coherent for someone who'd obviously had more than a few, and even if that was just a smokescreen, well ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... msattentionspan December 24 2005, 09:16:08 UTC

Faith was actually taken back by the fact that despite all his nervousness throughout the night that he didn't jump out of his seat the second she made that single move. In fact he returned the kiss and Faith wasn't going to argue that point at all considering she was the one that started it. So Faith kept pushing the envelope with him, until finally he pulled away ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... _juniorvarsity_ December 25 2005, 09:01:01 UTC

Linus glanced over at her, eyes wide. He was confused as all hell about how a woman could smell so completely inebriated and yet say things that were just plain cruel. Didn't she know how unfair that was to a guy? No, not just to a guy, to a guy who hadn't had physical contact with a woman in months. Couldn't Faith see what she was doing to him ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... msattentionspan December 25 2005, 09:18:29 UTC

Faith saw it. The flicker of 'this is wrong' in his eyes, and the overwhelming sense of confusion he had. Faith knew he was trying to do the good thing, and be the nice guy. She just wasn't used to that, so much so that pushing him as far as she could had been her plan. Up until she saw him break. Here was this guy that had been decent enough not to take advantage of her and she was trying to force his hand down her pants or something. It was the typical thing for her to do and somehow it didn't work for her in this situation ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... _juniorvarsity_ December 25 2005, 09:42:00 UTC

Part of him was ready to run. Faith had moved her leg off of him, finally freeing him up to make a break for it, but then he thought about what she was saying to him. What he'd said before about not knowing Faith was completely true. He couldn't claim to have an understanding of anyone from one conversation, and Faith seemed to have a bit more going on than most, but one thing was obvious to him. Faith didn't know how to react to a person who was trying to turn her down. Either that meant that she did these things often, or had an extremely high amount of confidence in her sexual abilities. Or in the worst case scenario, she had both, and he really was an idiot to say no to her.

"No, I'm not." He shook his head, finally starting to recover from her suggestion. It wasn't easy to get something like that off of his mind. The offers were few and far between as it was ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... msattentionspan December 25 2005, 09:52:11 UTC

She caught the smirk, and her own smile returned quickly, which was good since she doesn't really brood. That was Angel's bag, and she never really understood how it got the girls so weak in the knees. Instead of straddling him again, she even relaxed a bit, shifting herself sideways on the couch to face him, and bringing her leg up underneath her while the other one kicked at his foot a bit. "Nah, this is fine. 'Sides, that cuts circulation to my foot after a while. Boots are heavy, and that usually adds a bit to the back of my knee ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... _juniorvarsity_ December 29 2005, 09:05:46 UTC

He felt relieved when she opted not to place her leg over him again. It wasn't that Linus didn't want to be near Faith, he was just starting to enjoy it a little too much. She was a woman who was hard--make that nearly impossible--to resist. He didn't know if he could keep it up if Faith had a few more drinks and continued to stay as close as she'd been since they'd met ( ... )

Re: Considerably later... msattentionspan December 30 2005, 05:30:11 UTC

Faith didn't mind the remark about heading home for the holidays, what person that had a healthy relationship with their family wouldn't go home. Faith knew nothing about healthy families though, and wasn't about to judge someone just because they did ( ... )
