001 [warning: sexytimes]

Happy Hour at Allen's is, as usual, loud with competing voices and scents, all of which are less important to Auggie than Annie and Jai's laughter and the second beer in front of him.

Well. Almost all. Occasionally Auggie cocks his head at the sound of heels or the floral scent of shampoo and listens to Jai and Annie's reactions. Jai has one chuckle for redheads and another for brunettes, while Annie has a groan for blondes that Auggie is told is rather hypocritical of her.

"Did the last three girls all have tequila, or was it just one carrying enough shots for her whole party?" he wonders.

"The last four," Jai corrects, audibly smirking. "Your nose must be getting tired."

"I don't get it. Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow -- you'd think people could hold off on the faux-Mexican debauchery until Saturday."

He hears Annie sit bolt upright.

"Oh crap, it's Friday, I have a thing with my--"

"Sister," Auggie and Jai chorus with her. Auggie grins, in spite of the dirty look he's sure she's giving him, and adds, "Jai, you owe me ten bucks."

Jai sighs and digs in his pockets. "Which ought to just about cover your cab ride." He slaps the money onto the table at Auggie's ten o'clock. "Annie, I'll walk you to your car, I'm headed that way."

"Now there's a Pyrrhic victory," Auggie says, with a sigh of his own. "Annie, did he really give me a ten?"

"Yes!" Annie says, laughing, and squeezes his shoulder as she stands. "You're so paranoid."

"I'm wounded that you don't trust me," Jai agrees, also standing.

"You'll heal, I'm sure. Have a good weekend, you two. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"Same to you, Auggie," Jai says, with an eyeroll crystal-clear in his voice.

"That'll be a boring weekend, then," Auggie calls after Jai's cologne and Annie's heels, then turns back to his beer. Now where is he going to find a ride with all these tequila-soaked early birds?

"Love to. Where do you live?"

"I have a very good memory," she assures him, squeezing his waist a little before she lets go and steps the the side. "Let me get you a helmet."

"Nope."

A faint smell of leather rolls out of the bike's right saddlebag as she opens it.

"But I'm nice to my passengers. And I get the rest of the safety gear," she says, pulling on a jacket that creaks slightly in a satisfyingly durable way.

The helmet comes next; she hands it to him carefully, then reaches into the saddlebag for a pair of gloves.

"Of course."

As long as he doesn't mind that her (now leather-gloved) hand strays a little further back than his hip as she guides him into the passenger seat.

"All set?" she asks, closing up the saddlebag and mounting the bike in front of him.

[identity profile] prima-sequentem.livejournal.com 2011-08-12 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Very nice," she says, wriggling a little to get comfortable. "All right, let's get on the road."



Vivi really does purr.

Absolutely.

James does, indeed, have a very good memory; she follows his directions to the letter, humming to herself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQTFRq1hjtM).

"Cute place," she says as she brings the bike to a neat halt in the parking lot.

[identity profile] prima-sequentem.livejournal.com 2011-08-13 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure. I said cute place," she repeats over her shoulder, and gently starts the engine again to bring them around to number sixteen. Vivi hums contentedly.

[identity profile] prima-sequentem.livejournal.com 2011-08-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Number sixteen," Elizabeth* announces, stopping again. This time it seems more final, especially because the next thing she does is get off the bike.
