A Little Bit of Music || Aidan & Lucille

[dirtbagapollox-blog]

Despite himself, Aidan did laugh at the mention of the first song. “Well… I don’t think I know all the lyrics to Poopy fart pants, haven’t played it in awhile.” He shrugged, watching the children try to suppress their giggles. He peered over Lucille’s shoulders to see the song requests. “Oh yes, it’s quite refined if you ask me. I wish my music taste was this… broad.” He laughed again. “Okay, how about we start with some Disney?”

[fear-her-wrath]

"Sounds like a plan, take it away Aidan!" Leto stepped aside and made room for Aidan.. She encouraged the class to began clapping to be courteous. Then, she took a seat in one of the children's chairs -- which made her look a bit like a giant -- and crossed her legs. She looked up at him as eagerly as the children did.

Right! Of course. I don’t even know how they happen to me of all people. It’s like a curse.

[He sighs and gives Lucille a smile.] Don’t worry, it looks like you’ve been working hard you deserve a break so I’ll do whatever for you. [Aidan blinks at her look as she turns to him, raising his brows up— he wasn’t in trouble, was he? The smile comes back and he nods.] Sure, anything to help you out Lucille.

[fear-her-wrath]

I'd blame that pretty face of yours, if I were you. [She gave him a lighthearted wink]

You are such a sweetheart! [She gave him a kiss on the cheek before she nearly dashed to the kitchen in excitement. Her red lipstick stain remained on the boy's cheek]

"The mere glance between the mother and her daughter is enough to know what the other is thinking"

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He's okay..

[angelic-artemis-blog]

You’re welcome. [ She smiled back, not used to affected names.] Yep. 

I see, maybe you should put a collar on him and a leash so you can walk him. Hmm, or get a cat toy so he can move around some more. Also try and lessen his amount of food.

[fear-her-wrath]

He hasn't got one, you see. I don't think I need to go out of my way to buy him those things when I don't even own him, but the cat toy seems like a marvelous idea! I'll have to buy one for him.

What floor do you live on?

[Aidan sighed with relied to see Lucille laughing at him, it was better than her being appalled or offended by anything he said. The last thing he wanted was to slip up and ruin his new friendship with her.] Actually, it does. I’ve had many… Experiences. Not in my control, I don’t even know how they happen. It’s an actual problem.

It’s fine! I’ll get you something if you want, and take care of myself. I insist.

[fear-her-wrath]

None that you actually accepted, the offers I mean... right?

[She pat him lightly on the shoulder, moving onto the kitchen before him] Nonsense! You're the guest. Actually... [She turned on her heels, cutting her words short. She looked to her son with a pleading look] If you'd actually help me step on my covers in a little bit... you'd be doing me a huge favor.

Welcome Mistake || Zach + Lucille

[imzachmorris]

Both his arms dropped as if she was made of hot coals and Zach smiled with deep embarrassment reflected on his face. He shook his head knowing she was teasing and chuckled a bit too. “Well, it was a bit of inappropriate to greet you like that. I’m really sorry, but it’s nice to see you too! It’s been awhile.” He told the lady trying to get over the confusion he had earlier.

He felt foolish. The two women are completely different yet both beautiful in their own ways. But Lucille seem so familiar standing there earlier as if he had sneaked behind her for far too many times. Her posture, body, and everything else was like embedded to his memory which is peculiar as he had just met her once at that party for David in Malibu. “Where are you heading?” He asked still with a smile but a bit more confident now.

[fear-her-wrath]

"Oh it's quite alright. We'll both forget all about it. How's that?" Lucy smiled to the father of her children. He looked sincerely abashed, so even if he wasn't who he was, she would've forgiven him. She was actually somewhat glad he had come and hugged her. As awkward as it felt now, they'd certainly have a few good laughs about it later. She also had a smidgen of hope that this strange encounter would bring her closer to Zeus.

Lucille looked down the street briefly before turning to Zach again "Well I was going to head down to the spa, but now that I've run into you, I'll have to change my plans!" She clasped her hands together, looking at him expectantly. "You don't suppose you wouldn't be too busy for a cup of coffee? I'm afraid I haven't had anything to eat yet."

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He's okay..

[angelic-artemis-blog]

Nice to meet you Lucille. Lucille is a very pretty name, but in that case you can call me Angie. -smiles- Cristbol, cute.  Do you guys live in these apartments too?

[fear-her-wrath]

Thank you, love. [Lucille tried to pass off her slip of affection smoothly, smiling more broadly] Alright, Angie it is.

He's gotten mighty fat, this one. I was trying to take him on a walk, but he slipped out of my hands! But yes, we do. Did you just move in?

A Little Bit of Music || Aidan & Lucille

[dirtbagapollox-blog]

Aidan grinned and gave the students a small wave, spinning about on his heels for a moment bowing to the class. They seemed happy and enlightened by his presence, causing the musician himself to let out a sigh of relief. “Okay, sorry got held up with classes and stuff. I would have hated to disappoint you and show up really late.” He rubbed the back of his neck and stepped next to Lucille. “So these are your little Rugrats, huh?”

[fear-her-wrath]

Another wave of giggles plagued the little bodies. "That they are. Actually, they have a few songs they said they'd like to hear from you. Let's see..." Lucille grabbed a stack of large papers with bright crayon markings on them. "Poopy fart pants?" The children erupted with laughter once more. "Kiss the girl?" All the little boys groaned, showing distaste for the last request. "What do you think? I think they have impeccable taste." She grinned and flipped through a few more papers, showing Aidan some of the students' artwork that went along with their request.

[Aidan blinked as he heard the reason for her bath being on and realized that Lucille had picked up on his drift.] Oh! I figured, I wasn’t think you’d take a bath in front of me. I really wasn’t, you’re a very nice lady and I would never think of anything like that. I should stop talking. I am so sorry.

[fear-her-wrath]

[She laughed. It was amusing to know Apollo's tendencies were the same] You make it sound like this happens to you quite frequently.

Let me get you something to drink before I grab the covers.

Welcome Mistake || Zach + Lucille

Zach needed caffeine and he didn’t want to go and bother Amanda about it anymore especially if he’s already a few blocks away fromt the Buzz Brew. He walks towards the cafe and a smile immediately appeared on his face as he saw a familiar figure hailing a cab. He knows those curves even though her back is the one facing him.

He went to her, ready to surprise her with a hug. In the midst of the crowded New York street, he smoothly weaved his way around and snaked both his arms on the lady’s waist to embrace her from behind.

"Hey honey…" He whispered as he breathed in her scent as he drew his body closer to hers. Her perfume hits his nose and even though it was familiar, it wasn’t the one he was expecting. The woman turned and attractive as she was, it wasn’t Hillary which made Zach redden up in embarassment. "Oh god, I’m sorry…really!" He exclaimed right away and realized it was a lady he had encountered before as well. "Lucille?"

[fear-her-wrath]

It was a rare sort of days that she had to herself, so she decided to take advantage of it. As soon as Leto was up, she made herself a cup of coffee and called her usual spa. "Can I make a last-minute appointment?" Due to her frequent visits, the spa didn't hesitate to book her although it was booked for weeks in advance. The sun was just coming over the city, giving it a sort of sleepy look. She sighed, tying her hair up into a loose ponytail. She quickly dressed into a navy slip dress and added her trench coat for a finishing touch. Although the rest of her make up was light, she didn't fail to apply her favorite lip stick.

On the edge of the sidewalk, Leto urgently waved at a nearby yellow cab. She begged inwardly for it to spot her, but it drove away swiftly. She didn't have a chance to curse under her breath because she was suddenly being hugged from behind. Her first instinct was to spin around and slap who had the nerve to hug the goddess without permission, but her anger faded when she saw Zeus's face. She smiled, raising her eyebrows. "Yes? It's nice to see you again too," she teased as she laughed lightly.

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He's okay..

[angelic-artemis-blog]

Of course, he doesn’t deserve any kind of cruel fate.

I see — you should be more careful. I’m Angela. What is this little guy’s name?

[fear-her-wrath]

Absolutely not. He's a lovely little animal.

Of course, I will. Thank you truly. Angela, I'm Lucille. You are more than welcome to call me Lucy. Oh his name? His name is Cristobal.

[ava-andromache-blog]

Come on

[fear-her-wrath]

dawn-of-the-day:

Either one sounds fine to me.  Just want to look my best.

Oh I am absolutely up for clubbing.  It’s so much more fun to go with other people, trust me.  Plus it’s a great time to meet guys.

Ooooh! Maybe we can match. No, do we need to pick something for Andromeda as well?

Oh good, we have to go now. I've met plenty. Mortals are such interesting little creatures... but I wouldn't mind just looking.

Second Impressions

[the-howard-platt]

Doesn’t it represent innocence? O-Or… I’m not really sure. I never really understood flowers in that way.

[fear-her-wrath]

No, no you're right. I think it suits you, and I mean it as a compliment. [She hummed putting the bouquet to her face to smell it again] You're Ap-Aidan's friend, am I right?

[fear-her-wrath]

Bubbly

[dirtbagapollox-blog]

Mm, yeah. [Aidan blinked and awkwardly stood at the bathroom door. Why me? Why does this always have to happen to me? He thought as he seemed to be put into situations like this with women.] I’m glad you gave me a call. I can wait in the living room if you’d like..

[fear-her-wrath]

[Leto stared at her son who now seemed beyond uncomfortable. She looked towards the tub and back to Apollo, coming to the realization why he could be behaving that way] Oh heavens no! I was just about to wash my covers. My neighbor tells me stomping on it in the tub will clean it right out.

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He's okay..

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He’s okay I got him before the car did. Are you baby sitting him? You are welcome.

[fear-her-wrath]

You put yourself in harm's way for him? [Leto looked at her beautiful daughter in awe. Her love for animals was always constant]

Ah-yes, I am. They've gone on a weekend cruise without him.

[melancholic-mind]

[angelic-artemis-blog]

He's okay..

Does this little guy belong to you? 

[fear-her-wrath]

Thank goodness.

And no, he's my neighbor's little treasure...
