Paris**

"I don’t know where you’re going, But do you got room for one more troubled soul? I don’t know where I’m going, But I don’t think I’m coming home.”

“You were supposed to be listening to me tell you a story,” Paxton said as she stepped up beside her friend, hip checking him lightly.

[painparis-blog]

“Who are you again?” he asked jokingly as her hip connected with is own.

“Just kidding, what story?” he asked as he looked at her closely trying to figure out what she was going to say before she could tell him.

[panickypax-blog]

Paxton rolled her eyes. “You liar. You would have helped me if I wanted to steal some damn plants or something,” she said. Bending down to throw open one of the boxes, she gestured to her friend. “Fucking chocolate, bro. The good shit, too.”

[painparis-blog]

Paris shrugged and nodded his head. “That is very true, but my curiosity gave me some incentive as well,” he said by way of explanation. Paris immediately reached in and snagged some of the chocolate, “my reward,” he said with a wink as he set his box down by hers.

“My philosophy is ‘Someone else can do it,’” Max laughed. “Paris! That’s a cool name. Of course it’s important for me to know my new friend’s name. You know, I’ve been to Paris before. Yeah, Paris, Texas. Not that great.”

[painparis-blog]

“That’s a good philosophy,” he said with a wink. “New friend? I feel honored and Thanks, I never really thought too much about my name. But I guess it’s different anyway. And I’ve not been to any Paris so good on you,” he said with a grin. 

[panickypax-blog]

Paxton only rolled her eyes in reaction as they made their way to her room. After a fairly quick walk they were there and she shouldered her door open, stepping aside to let him in before shutting the door behind him. “Thanks for the help,” she said with a sly grin. “Now- wanna see what I got?”

[painparis-blog]

“Of course I was gonna help! And duh! If I didn’t I wouldn’t have hurried after you so quickly!” he replied with a grin and a wink. He moved closer as he waited for Paxton to do the honors.

[painparis-blog]

“I was supposed to be doing something, and I’m not entirely sure what it is,” Paris mumbled to himself as he surveyed the people around. It wasn’t work obviously. The schedule told him when he was to be there. So it was something else. It was bugging him that he couldn’t quite remember. 

[lux-nightly]

“It did actually. I didn’t get a lot done because I had to wait for it to dry, which was nice.” He smiled. “The less work I do the better.” This guy was alright, Max liked him. “I hope not, I’ll see what I can do. I’m Max by the way.”

[painparis-blog]

Paris laughed again and replied, “That’s my kind of work. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to stand back and relax!” He grinned as he introduced himself, “I’m Paris, not that my name’s all that important!”

[cvscy]

Casey sighed and let her head lull to the side as she made eye contact with the person standing to her left. “I know I’m beautiful, but there is no reason to stare, sweetheart.”

[painparis-blog]

Paris laughed when he heard her reaction. “Sorry, I tend to get lost in thought quite a bit!” he said as he took note of what he perceived as a teasing tone.

[peytondara]

“Are you alright? You look as if you’d seen a ghost.” 

[peytondara]

[painparis-blog]

Paris felt his attention snap towards the man as his question pierced his thoughts. “Oh, yes. I’m fine, just a bit out of it apparently,” he said with a small smile in the man’s direction. “I would be in a lot worse shape if I had seen a ghost,” he added as an afterthought. His smile didn’t fade but he was very serious.

[fatedsims]

“Can I hide here for a few minutes?”

[painparis-blog]

Paris gave the man a sneaky grin as he gestured towards the table. “If you can hide successfully here, then by all means!” he said in amusement. He wasn’t quite sure how he would hide there well. But he wanted to see him try.

[lux-nightly]

“Great! I won’t be alone on my shift then.” He smiled. “I didn’t think about checking that out. I was at the end of my rope earlier and I wrote “Wet Floor” on a piece of paper and held it and stood in the middle of the lobby.”

[painparis-blog]

Paris couldn’t help the cackle that escaped his lips as he pictured man doing something so peculiar. “I’m sure it worked though,” he said as he grinned. “And no definitely not alone. I’m glad for that too, maybe I won’t be bored to death,” he muttered. 

[panickypax-blog]

“Well I’m not going to take it to your room,” she teased with a small laugh (kept quiet for fear of being caught). “I’d never find the stuff in that pigsty.” She followed his advice (though she stuck out her tongue first) and took off ahead of him, fast but light on her feet.

[painparis-blog]

Paris rolled his eyes at Paxton and replied, “It’s only  a pigsty to you, I know where everything is!” He didn’t sound too convincing even to himself. His grin didn’t falter even as he tried to look very serious. When Paxton took off he followed quickly after her.

Naomi stumbled backwards a little bit then caught herself before she fell on her butt. She looked at the guy and shook his head. “Oh no, don’t be. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

[painparis-blog]

“That makes two of us then,” he said with a polite smile. “Are you okay?” he asked. He didn’t seem any damage but he had to ask.

[hayden-lilith-blog-blog]

“Always a pleasure.” Paris’ hesitance bothered him, but Hayden reined himself in, wishing he could snap at Paris. That would have to wait for another time. Besides, he had Paxton, who was always quite amusing to shout at. 

“Oh, just to see that you were doing well, hear about anything interesting you might have experienced. And Paxton was looking for you. But I suppose she found you.”

[painparis-blog]

“Oh I see. Nothing terribly new has happened other than work beginning. It’s went well so far. And er yes, she found me,” he replied quickly as he studied haydens face closely. He was looking for any signs of anger...as he usually did. 

[peytondara]

“I’m not entirely sure,” Flynn said with a grin. “Some girl screamed and guy was grabbing her and I came in guns-a-blazing, punched him and they both skedaddled,” he explained, rubbing his hand across the back of his neck. 

[painparis-blog]

Paris continued to grin as he took in the mans explanation. “That’s kind of odd,” he said with a small laugh. “Did they take off together?”

[lux-nightly]

“I appreciate that my friend. It would be a big help.” Max sighed. “I could really get into some trouble if someone slips and falls, ya know. I gotta make up a new one or grab some cones or something.”

[painparis-blog]

“It’s not a problem really, I’ll be here all evening,” he said with a grin. He motioned over towards the closets on the far side of the room, “There might be some signs or something in there.” 

[panickypax-blog]

She rolled her eyes at his comment but it was all in jest. Truthfully she wouldn’t have him any other way and they both new that, if his words were any way to tell. “Back to my room, of course. Where else?”

[painparis-blog]

Paris simply grinned at her eye roll as he continued to follow her. “I was only checking,” he said as he bumped into her shoulder casually. “Better hurry before we get caught,” he whispered as he raised his eyebrows in false worry.

“Why can no one in this blasted resort watch where the fuck they’re going!” Harley mumbled under her breath. “Just move along darling. Nothing to see.” If Harley was in more of a hurry the person would have certainly gotten an earful, but today she was in a giving mood.

[painparis-blog]

It was quite obvious to Paris that he had annoyed the lady. But he really wasn’t looking for any trouble. “Sorry again,” he mumbled as he made to move out of her way.
