“Hola, Xavier.” Charles replied with his hand in his pockets. “Actually I came here ‘cause things at the game table seemed a little stopped, for some reason, so I decided to pass by.” He sat on the chair while looking around with a smile before turning to the girl again. “How is the night for you so far?”

“ Bored , huh ? “ Tilting her head as she looks at him ,  Xavier moves along with the music where she stands , smiling softly at the other . She shrugs at the question .  “ Good . “ A lie , said with her smile still on her lips . “ Do you wanna go out for a bit ? It’d be nice with a break . “

The ball had been good. Not only had he earned money working it as a waiter, but his pick-pocketing skills had earned him a pretty penny too. Of course some of that money had already gone to his addictions. Fagin was sat in the corner of the park with a blunt in his hand. As the stranger approached, he turned with the corner of his mouth turned up in a smile. “How you doing?”

She feels out of place , as if she’s stepped out of her own body , watching herself as she walks -- unsure of where she’s headed . Xavier almost doesn’t hear him over her own heartbeat , and she attempts to catch her breath before looking at him , tears in her eyes that she hadn’t even realized were there .  “ I---”  , she stops herself , words getting caught in her throat . “ --sorry . “

January blinked a few times looking towards her. “I don’t want you dealing with men like that, but I’m not sure I’m the best dance partner..” 

Clicking her tongue ,  she shakes her head and moves a step closer .  “  You don’t have to be a good dancer to have fun . “

Laughing a bit she shrugged. “I love to dance. It’s just attending events like this often loses the sense of fun with them. Which.. would make you right I just don’t know how to have fun I suppose. Or just haven’t been having fun with the right people.” 

A pout juts her bottom lip out , but is quickly replaced by a smile . “ Have fun with meee ! I’m tired of dancing with these pendejos . They keep grabbing my ass . “

Following the woman, Hades’ eyes gazed over her body. “Oh you will, will you?” He muttered gently, eyebrows raised. Hades continued to follow her through the crowd, eyes clocking every person they pass.

Once they’re there , in the middle of everything , lights shining down on them , the music playing loudly , but still at a level where they can hear each other ( if they lean in close enough ) , she turns & wraps both arms around his neck . “ I hope you’re as good at dancing as you are at Spanish , “ she says , hips beginning to swing .

“An old fashioned– with whiskey instead of brandy,” he said to her. His eyes followed her hand that was playing with her hair. She had the innocent look down, that was for sure.

“ Coming right up . Don’t go anywhere , “ she says , before walking over to the bar , making sure to swing her hips on the way there . A minute or so passes , and then she returns , tray in hand . She holds the glass out for him , smiling as she does . “ You’ve got good taste . “

“I….Oh no. Oh no that doesn’t sound like a good idea! It won’t flow around it’s just jerky movements….Um.”

“ I’ll be gentle “ , she says , extending a hand towards the other .

“It’s more I don’t feel like dancing.  Saying I don’t like it is my excuse to not dance right now.”

“ Why not ? Are you unhappy , reina ? “

slugmadebbie:

“Oh no! I love dancing I just….am not really good at it. I’m just kind of…here..”

“ But you look so pretty , chica ! I wanna see what your dress looks like when it moves . “

[xavierose-blog1]

“ You don’t like dancing ? To me, it just sounds like you don’t know how to have fun . “

Aaric smirked at the beautiful woman standing before him. Her seductive tone was hard to miss. “I’ll start with a drink.”

“ Of course . “  His flirtatious manner causes a laugh to fall from her lips , a hand moving to play with her hair as she looks at him . “ What's your poison , handsome ? “

[xavierose-blog1]

“ Hola , mi amor . Can I get you anything ? A dance , a drink , or something else ? “

A frown flickered across his face for a moment as she leant in - but only for a moment. “My shoes are being finished,” Hades replied firmly as he nodded to the man, still busy buffing away. Mere seconds later, the man finished. Hades passed him some money and then stood up slowly. “Señora.” Hades offered his hand out to her.

She waits in silence , using the time to look at him , memorize his feature for a lonely night . His hand is offered , and she slips hers into it , entangling their fingers .  “ That didn’t sound half-bad , cariño . I’m impressed , “  she says , a twinkle in her eye . “ I’ll lead , for now . “  Xavier gives his hand a gentle tug , and turns around to move through the crowd , glancing over her shoulder every once in a while just to make sure he’s keeping up .
