F2F: Late

Time: 2:15 AM

Simone: looked at the man as he moved for the door, at his comment she turned her head and bit her lip. She refused to actually smirk or laugh though she wanted to desperately. She swallowed it down and sighed softly as she shook her head unlocking the door for him.

Paul: "Nights like this..." He step across the threshold of Simone's door. "I wish..." He turned to look down on her, his long arms spread out to hold the frame of the door. He leaned in placing his forehead on hers. "Don't worry about that kiss. It was movie magic. Just like that." He snapped his fingers, "It will be gone." He smiled. His eyes dropping to down to her soft lips, then went back to her eyes. "Good Night." He said, kissing her softly on the forehead. After a moment he pushed off the door frame and stumbled down the drive. "Nights like this..."

Simone: "Yes, because unlike you I take my career and image serious..." she said to him. As he stated he would go she sighed, a sigh of relief. "Great" she said standing to her feet "I already called you a ride, let's go" she said, happy to put him back on her doorstep and let him figure it out, whatever it was.

Paul: walked to the door each step heavier then the last. "You are going to miss me when I'm gone."

Simone: looked down at him again, his expression hadn't change from its previous state. She looked at the clock again, before she shoved the man by his forehead off of her and she moved to stand. She sat down on the second couch away from him, eyes peering at him in the dimly lit home, from her new spot.

Paul: fell back lid down to the floor a bit. "the hell?" He said, righting himself. "He wiped his face with his hand pinching the bridge of his nose. "You're really upset?" He exhaled, then grunted moving to his knees. "I'll leave." Using the table to stand all the way up.

Simone: "I don't really like you right now" she said to him. "But then again that's why you are here right?" she asked next. "You just pop up every time you piss me off? Why?" she asked him. "Go burden Avery with your bullshit and immaturity....." she said trying to pull away from him. "Trust me... she's the nice one if she puts up with this...."

Paul: Held tighter to her legs as she tried to move. "Hmmm. You're mad at me? Why?"

Simone: she listened to him really thinking nothing of his drunken words. As he finished she looked down at him and said "and you're drunk" without another word and she looked at the time again.

Paul: snuggled into her soft, thick thighs deeper. "Doesn't mean I'm lying." He countered, eyes closing. "You want me to leave? Nah, let me stay."

Simone: she looked at him, her expression blank as she moved to walk away from him. She moved her couch sitting down, her head in her hand as she looked at the time.

Paul: repeated the verse, "I put a spell on you

Because you're mine..." He sung, spinning in a circle. Revolving to music only he could hear. He struggled to open his eyes but found Mo, sitting across the room head in her hands. He bared his teeth in a grin, and swayed across the room using the chair's backs and tables to stay upright. "You know. You are a sweet girl... Mo. Avery's mean. Selfish." he said, sitting on the floor next to the woman. He rapped his arms around her legs. "You're nice."

Simone: "Put that down" she fussed as she moved towards him, grabbing it gently. It was a prized possession of hers, she'd die if he ruined it. She placed it back and said "please Paul" with a somber and serious tone "I just want to go back to bed" she said looking up at him.

Paul: froze in place and waited for Mo to take the record. Even in his state he knew a prize when he held one. He ducked his head and began to sing quietly, " I put a spell on you-" He hummed, "Because you're mine..." He song, the word still strong and rich, even in his drunkin state."

Simone: putting one finger in her ear as the man spoke loudly she said "actually it's not for me, it's for someone else" into the cellphone. "Their home, nothing major" she added as she looked over at the man. He'd manage to find some alcohol, she rolled her eyes at that. "Yes, great" she said to the man, "thank you so much.." she said hanging up. "The ride is on its way" she told him.

Paul: took mouthful of his drink, hissing as it went down his throat. Sitting the drink on the mantle, he carefully began to look through Mo's collection. He stopped one record holding it up delicately, squinting to read the title, "This is a mint condition My baby just cares for me by Nina... We gotta play it."

Simone: looking at his face written with disgust and concern. She shook her head and moved to retrieve her phone, she'd call him a Uber is all else failed honestly. She didn't have anyone else's number to call truthfully. When she contact the service she used she walked downstairs again. "I need a car if that's possible" she said with a sigh. "Sorry this is so out of the blue..."

Paul: unstopped a bottle of clear, liquid. He sniffed it, "My kind of shit!" He said, coughing slightly. "200 proof baby girl you know what I like." He poured a crystal tumbler full, and stumbled over the couches. "MO! Where is the remote... No, Let turn on some music!" He said, and changed direction heading now for the stereo. "Is that a record play." He said, wonder in his voice.

Simone: she looked at him crazily and as he let himself in she sighed. "Paul" she screeched as she placed her hands on her head, she was irritated now. "It's 2 am, if there is any house you should have ended up at, it should have been your own. I am going to call for a car, so they can take you there" she told him sensibly.

Paul: jumped back two steps and barked in time with Simone. "Mo!" He said, bursting into a fit of laughs. Nodding, with a satisfied, jerk to of this head, her turned with a clumsily pivot and stomped off towards Simone's living room head headed to her bar.

Simone: adjusting the headscarf of her head she folded her arms over her chest. Okay, he was drunk that explained it all now. But why her? "No it isn't actually" she said back to him. "Of course I would be I live here alone. Should I call someone for you?" she asked standing in the doorway.

Paul: frowned. "Yes it is." He said stubborn as a toddler. He eased himself past Simone, and started towards her living room. "NOooo." He said spinning to face Simone, he pressed his finger over his lips. "they might come..."

Simone: shifted in her California King, she pulled her comforter over her a little more. She heard persistent ringing of her doorbell and she pulled herself up confused. She looked at the time and rushed out her bed, grabbing her robe and rushing down her stairs. She looked to the monitors and seen Paul, face scrunched. "He has lost his damn mind" she said as she moved for her front door. "What are you doing here?" she barked as she yanked the door open.

Paul's: arm was raised. "Mo-" He cut off a toothy smile taking over his face. He raised and eyebrow looked around staring into the space behind the woman. Then with an effort, he managed to plant both eyes back on her. "Isn't it obvious?" His eye were bloodshot, and his speech drawn and measure. As if English wasn't his first language. Eyes wide, he moved in whispering loudly. "Are you alone?"
