♫ 14 - that is what I listen to...

[tossing his guitar on the bed, Lindsey grins as he finally got a song to sing figured out and a slot with Lorne at Caritas. He stops and grabs his journal to plan on letting a few people know]

[Jilly]

I'm performing tonight at Caritas around sevenish. I know it's last minute, but I'd really love it if you'd show up.

[/Jilly]


[and for everyone else...]

If anyone's interested, I'm going to be playing at Caritas tonight 'round seven. Anyone who wants to come down is welcome. I'll even buy a round. I'm sure someone will have an open journal if ya can't make it. Hope to see you there.

[he leaves to shower, then heads back to the club. When he gets up around seven, he just has one song to sing...]

[ooc: feel free to chat with him before or after the performance. I just didn't want to have two separate threads to confuse people]

I think in the basement. Wherever they stashed the Joker.

[ok, need a change of topic]

So... Lorne said I'm supposed to treat you to at least one dance tonight...

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[probably for the best]

[a grin.] Lorne has good ideas.

You know how?

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[shrugs, playful smiling]

I can fake it pretty well, and can at least not step on your feet.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

That's plenty good enough. [releasing her coke, she'll take his hand, slipping off her chair again]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[yeah, there's something to be said about Lindsey when he's with a woman he cares about. He's more likely to do things that he normally wouldn't do, if it means that it makes her happy. Like dancing. So she has no problem dragging him onto the floor]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[Jilly is passionate about the things she loves. Art, reading... and music. It's one of the few times when she can be completely happy and not even the tiniest bit self-conscious about being in someone's arms.

Light on her feet, she doesn't exactly drag him out, but her enthusiasm would be hard to refuse even if he was reluctant.]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[he's keeping the evil hand off her, so only one arm is holding her waist, trying to imitate her movements. He felt a bit awkward, but seeing her smile and how much she was enjoying it took away any inclination to stop.]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[seeing him hesitate, she'll give him a reassuring smile] Not so tense. There's no wrong moves here... just... feel the beat. [she knew he could. There's no way he couldn't if he let himself relax. He was too much of a musician.]

[she'll reach out to hold that rogue hand of his, though. Really, whatever issues it had, she wasn't too worried about it as long her hand was in his... and him worrying about it would only make him more tense.]

[there was nothing formal about the dance. No professional moves. Just enjoying the music and the company and being happy enough to move with it all]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[his fingers wrapped around hers, that fear eased away and he just let himself get lost in the music and her smile]

I like the way you move... [playful smirk]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[a laugh, thought that brought a bit of pink to her cheeks] Maybe it's my partner.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's all you, darlin' [he grinned and spun her a bit.]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[easily moving with the spin, she'll end back in the circle of his arms, laughing] I think you might have lied about the pretending bit.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[smiles just a bit] Ok, I had to learn to do some formal dances for social events, and I can do a bit of line dancing. But not just going to a club type dancing. [his arms keeps her nice and close]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[she's not complaining] I'd think it'd be easier. There's no steps to remember.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Having a count in your head and steps to start a dance basics with make it easier to know how to dance it so you can then make it more individual to your personality.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[ah yes... Mr. Planning... have a fond smile at that] Granted.

[slipping her arms around his waist as the music changes, the next song slowing just enough that its easy to stay close]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[he pulls her in a bit closer, his left hand playing with the ends of her hair unconsciously]

Though I'm a big fan of slow dances. It's just swaying.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Mmm... [a small hesitation before she rests her head on his chest. Yep... swaying was fine]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[he smiles and closes his eyes, then leaned his head down to just kiss the top of her head.]

How'd I get lucky enough to meet you?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[she tenses a bit at that... not that he'd realize... but her tone is light, and a bit muffled, since she's not moving away]

You got kidnapped by a tempermental, magic castle. Apparently how all the best things happen.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[softly] Too bad I can't take you home with me.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[....]

We don't know what can happen. [and, because she doesn't want to think about that, she's going to ignore the fact that this is a public place and look up at him, one hand sliding up around his neck to gently pull him lower.

Her other hand? Sneaking around behind her back to catch his right before it can get any lower. She noticed, buddy]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[if the hand could pout...

He grins and lets her pull him lower. No complaints. In fact, he might have to thank Lorne later for the whole dancing idea...]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[standing on tiptoes and leaning into his arms, her lips will lightly brush his... no more talk of going home. Not right now]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[yeah, thoughts about talking are gone out the window as he leans down into the kiss and his good hand cups the back of her neck to tilt her up just a bit more.]
