Saturday: February 9, 2008
Who: Chloe & Nico
When: Morning
Where: The Tiki Hut
What: Chloe goes to work—and disaster strikes. Naturally.

Chloe hated horses, so she was walking along the dirt path to work. She lived at the water bungalows, and The Tiki Hut wasn’t far from her home. It was the reason why she chose to work there instead of in town. Had she chosen to work at the café, restaurant, or wine bar, Chloe would have found herself worn out from the on-foot travel. There was no way in hell she was taking a horse to get into town. Horses were dirty, smelly, and uncomfortable creatures to ride. She’d rely first on her own two feet before she ever considered jumping onto the back of one of those things.

Her two feet hadn’t failed her yet, and she was in cheerful spirits today. The weather had cleared up, which meant she finally got to work again. The Tiki Hut had been closed for the past four days because of the weather, and it had also been closed for about half of the past eighteen days since Loki disappeared to . . . wherever he was going. He was the real owner and boss. Her current boss was a stand-in for Loki, some buddy of his named Nico. Chloe had seen him around before, but she hadn’t really talked to him all that much. Not even since he became her boss. Hell, he’d only been that for nine or ten days. As if it counted.

As she neared the establishment, Chloe furrowed her brow at what looked like a cloudy mist hovering around The Tiki Hut. She thought the weather was supposed to be clear today. If Nico called her in to work on a wet and windy day, she was so going to kick his ass into next week. She didn’t even have an umbrella or a raincoat with her!

Drops of rain started to fall from the sky. Using her sling bag as a shield over her head, Chloe ran as fast as she could to the cover of the huge umbrella-like roof of the bar area. Her hair was matted and frizzy, her top was soaked, and she looked like a mess. “Nico!” she called out, her voice tinged with anger. “I thought we weren’t supposed to be open during bad weather!”

Working at the Tiki Hut gave Nico a sense of pride, and accomplishment. Loki had trusted him with the establishment, and he vowed to himself that he wouldn't let the muse down. His friend was doing what he wanted, traveling the open seas looking for adventure or whatever else a person did on the ocean. Either way it made Loki happy, and that was important. Nico was sure he'd never be able to leave behind his friends for an adventure on the high seas.

It was known throughout the haven that the Tiki Hut was open everyday of the year, except if it was raining or snowing, and it was doing neither today. There was a bit of a wind gusting about, but nothing that wasn't covered by the partial roof and walls of the bar area. The rest of the Tiki Hut, however, was closed for the season.

The winds had blown quite a bit of sand around the establishment, and it would have taken the sprite half a day to clean it all up with just a broom. He was largely lazy when it came to manual chores, and so Nico summoned a few rain clouds to wash away the sand that had accumulated. It was one of the perks of his power, and every now and again Nico enjoyed using it. He couldn't explain his attachment to the rain except that maybe it was in his blood to love it as much as he did, and so he didn't mind the sound of the raindrops hitting on the roof of the bar. It was rhythmic in its own right, and Nico began to hum a tune under his breath.

Nico was behind the bar just out of sight as he arranged the glasses, coasters, straws, and stirrers underneath the bar. He was in the zone, but the peace of the moment was shattered when he heard someone say his name angrily. He stood up slowly, rising warily from behind the bar to see who was there. His eyes had just passed the counter when he spotted Chloe, one of the waitresses. He let out a sigh of relief, and stood to his full height. "Hey Chlo-" he had begun to say before she continued her tirade.

"Huh," he said. At first he wasn't sure what she was talking about until he noticed that she was soaked from head to toe. "Oh! The rain, right." He lifted a hand, and concentrated for a few seconds to disperse the clouds that had gathered. Within moments the rain stopped, and it was nice once more. "Sorry 'bout that," he said. The girl didn't look amused, but beyond that Nico noticed that the white top she was wearing was wet. He smirked. It was just another reason why Nico liked the rain so much.

"Hey, I like your shirt," he said. How Chloe took his comment was up to her, but Nico wasn't about to hide the fact that he was enjoying the view very very much.

Chloe blinked, dumbfounded, when Nico did his little concentration thingy and stopped the rain. She glanced upwards, eyes only, toward the ceiling. Her eyes met his again across the distance. A scowl formed upon her face, and Chloe crossed her arms over her chest. There wasn’t any bad weather today. It was all Nico’s fault, and he had done it on purpose. She didn’t know the reason for it, but she didn’t need to know the reason. Normally, Chloe wasn’t this easily riled up, but it was cold out and she was wet all over because of Nico’s sudden desire to start a rainfall. She was already developing chills.

Chloe rolled her eyes at Nico. She uncrossed her arms and indicated her wet clothes by gesturing at her body with both hands. “Yeah, and you owe me a new one!” she squealed, shaking her head at him. Her hands were going everywhere at this point. Chloe’s hands tended to do that when she was irritated. “You know, you could have warned me before you decided to play little Mr. Rain Man today. I’m wet and it’s freezing, and I need to change. Do you have towel back there? Are there any extra clothes?”

She breezed past Nico as she headed towards the storage room in the back. Chloe opened the door and walked inside, glancing around for a towel or something else to dry off with. She unbuttoned and removed her wet shirt, hanging it up to dry. It left her standing in the storage room in nothing but her black skirt and black bra with the door wide open. She searched around for another shirt, knowing that Loki kept some back here somewhere. “Nico, come help me,” she called, bending her knees to reach a box on the floor. She opened it up and rummaged inside it in hopes of finding something made out of cloth.

Was it bad that Nico thought Chloe was hilarious when she was irritated? There was something oddly endearing about the way her hands went all over the place as she complained about one thing or another. He couldn't hold back the chuckle in his throat, and he only stopped long enough to say something to her.

"What was I supposed to do? Call you?" The sprite rolled his eyes, and then made the phone gesture with his hand to hold up to his ear. "Hey, Chlo? Yeah, it's Nico," he said as he began his mock phone call. "Look, I'm gonna make it rain to clean up all the sand 'round here. Uh-huh, yeah. Bring an umbrella, but if you want a bonus then come in with a wet shirt, and a nice black bra." He dropped his hand, and then crossed his arms over his chest. He couldn't deny that women looked good in wet shirts. Period. There was no arguing that point. "I guess you wanted the bonus, huh?" Nico could be real ass, but it wasn't in a mean way. He was teasing the girl, and was it really his fault that she made it so easy? He bounced his eyebrows as she walked past him toward the storage room.

"There are shirts in the box on the top shelf," he called over his shoulder just as he picked up a bar towel to wipe the fingerprints from the glasses beneath the bar. He was more than happy to go about his business, but once again Chloe voice rang through the air. This time she was asking for his help. "Yeah yeah, I'm comin'," he said. The girl was probably too short to reach the very top shelf, and though Nico wasn't that tall he could probably reach what she couldn't.

He pushed open the door to the storage room, and stared at the shirtless girl. "Whoa," he said in surprise. The last thing he expected was for Chloe to be in her bra. He didn't really mind, but most chicks didn't like for a guy to see her in her underclothes. Besides, he had a girlfriend and for some reason he felt a little guilty for looking, but only a little. Instead of apologizing for barging in on her Nico decided to tease her a little more. "Hey lady, I don't know what you're doing, but I'm not that kind of guy. Well, not unless you get a few drinks in me I'm not." He chuckled a bit, and then reached for the box on the top shelf.

"Here," he said. "Extra shirts, and pants." Nico reached for another box, and placed it on a lower shelf. "And here are some towels." A devilish smirk formed on his lips. "So uh, can I get a free show?" Why was he having so much fun with this poor girl today?

Nico’s comment about the bonus actually caused Chloe’s cheeks to redden. She ignored most of what he said until she hurried past him to the storage room. “Yeah, you’re lucky I don’t slap you with a harassment suit,” Chloe scoffed at him, saying it loud enough for him to hear her without her needing to yell it at the top of her lungs. He’d probably make a lewd comment about that, too. She was aggravated enough that she didn’t even hear him say where the extra shirts were located in the storage room. She just started looking for them herself.

Chloe could have rolled her eyes again, but this time she just sighed as Nico barged into the room and acted all surprised at seeing her in a bra. She stood up and put her hands on her hips. “What?” Chloe asked. “Have your virginal eyes never seen a bra before?” She couldn’t help but gesture at her boobs with her hands as she shook her head. “I do not understand the fascination with boobs. It’s not like I’m naked, and no one ever makes a fuss about a guy without his top on.”

Walking over to the boxes Nico pulled out from the shelves, Chloe pulled out a towel from one of them and proceeded to dry her hair with it.

She feigned a noticeably fake smile at him and leaned in to whisper. “ . . . I don’t do shows for little boys.” Chloe pulled back and smiled brightly at him, patting Nico on the shoulder. Her eyes traveled from his face to the air above his head. “Maybe when you grow a few more inches, we’ll talk.”

The mermaid was one of the few girls who could actually keep up with Nico's remarks, and throw a few back at him. It made conversation with her fun, and she was by far his most favorite waitress at the Tiki Hut.

He rolled his eyes at Chloe when she asked if he had never seen a bra before. "Virginal eyes my ass," he said with a huff. "I've seen a lot less on a girl, and I've done a lot more than just stare," Nico said rather proudly. He did like to tease Zach about the fact that he had seen more girls naked than he ever had. It was a stupid thing to compete about, but it was something that guys normally did.

"We only like boobs cause we don't have them," he said in a nonchalant manner. "And I must say you have some really nice ones. They look comfy." Nico's grin turned lecherous, and it was hard to say just what sort of perverted thoughts were running through his head. Needless to say they were good ones, and for some reason they involved Umeko and Chloe both. God he loved his threesome fantasies!

His expression didn't change until her next remark, and just as she feigned a smile he feigned being hurt by her words. His hand went over his heart, and he stumbled backward. "That really hurts my feelings, Chlo," he sniffled a little. "I didn't know you considered little someone who was taller, and bigger than you. Hmm..." He flexed his muscles, and turned his head to examine his bicep. "I think I'm stronger, too. But no, I'm still too short for Little Miss Shark Bait," he teased.

Chloe wasn’t the type of girl to turn into a blushing red tomato and go running into a corner to hide just because a guy threw a suggestive comment her way. She always threw something right back with a perfectly cute smile on her face to show she wasn’t intimidated or bothered by it. Besides, there was nothing to get upset over if it was just a joke. She could take a joke with the best of them and let it roll off of her shoulders.

Nico didn’t impress her. She knew he had probably seen a bra on a girl before, though she wasn’t going to hold her breath on it. Chloe held up her fist in a tiny cheering gesture that was obviously fake. “Yay for you!” she said with a big grin. “It’s your first step to becoming a real man.” Chloe pretended to fan tears away from her eyes and bit her lip, trying her best to hold back her own laughter. “Bless you!”

As she dried her hair, she felt an ounce of pride in his compliment. Lecherous, sure, but every girl liked a compliment, even if it was on her boobs. “Too bad you’ll never really know,” she said sadly, though there wasn’t an ounce of feeling in it. The fake pout on her lips probably had something to do with it.

Chloe laughed at him as she started to dry her skin off with the towel. When she wasn’t so damp, she unfolded the new shirt and pulled it onto her arms. The buttons came next until the shirt was closed up to the top two or three buttons, and she ruffled the towel over her hair. Too bad she didn’t have a hairdryer here. “Everyone knows a real man is really, really tall. Shortness only works on men if they’re complete gentlemen. Otherwise,” Chloe commented, glancing over at Nico with a pointed look, “kiss your chances goodbye.” She waved her hand at him as if to say goodbye and headed out of the room as she tucked her shirt beneath the hem of her skirt.

“So, what are we doing today? Just serving beer if somebody wants it?”

Nico hadn't met very many women who could take a joke when one was directed at them, and the ones who could were the ones Nico liked best. No one liked walking on eggshells around a person, especially Nico. In fact he was the type of guy who would stomp on the eggshells on purpose just to see if he could make someone cry. It wasn't always the best plan since he felt guilty afterward, but it was something he did without really thinking about it.

The sprite wasn't looking to impress anyone, especially not Chloe. He told the truth, and it was up to the mermaid whether or not she believed him. Nico figured she didn't, but he didn't care one way or another. He rolled his eyes at her little cheer, but smiled regardless. It was cute, but it didn't hurt his feelings, but bravo to her for making the attempt.

The girl's sarcasm was fun, but there was only so much Nico would let her get away with. The compliment he had given her was sincere (Nico had yet to see a pair of breasts he didn't like), but that was as far as it went. He scoffed after she made her comment, and laughed. "You make it sound like I'd want to know," he said. And maybe on some level he did, but he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that. "You're cute, but you're not that cute," he retorted as he reached over to try and pinch her cheek in the manner than an adult would with a child.

He chose to ignore the comment about his height since it was something that he was somewhat self-conscious about, and focused on the fact that they were supposed to be working. He left the room before she did, and headed toward the bar. "Yeah, just serve whatever the customer wants. No food, obviously, but bar snacks are fine." Nico picked up a cloth, and began to wipe down the top of the bar. "Oh, and do you mind turning on the heat torches? If people are gonna be out here they might as well be comfortable, and not freezing their asses off."

Chloe simply made a silly face at Nico for his comments and chose not to say anything back to him. She didn’t believe him, anyway. Nico was just trying to cover his tracks to make himself look good and all innocent. She wasn’t buying it for a second. However, she did have more important matters to be attending to right now and preparing the bar area was one of them—if Nico hadn’t done it yet. Chloe noticed he had gotten to the bottles and beverages, so she went about setting up the area for customers.

She grabbed one of the toothpicks to chew on while she worked and set out snack bowls full of peanuts and pretzels and turned on the torches around the edges of The Tiki Hut’s bar. When everything was taken care of, she walked behind the bar and tinkered with straightening out the display as she waited for customers. A good hour passed by, though, and no one had showed up yet. Chloe frowned and glanced over her shoulder to look for Nico. She was getting bored without anything to do but tap her fingers atop the bar. Chloe hoped this wasn’t turning out to be what her entire day would feel like.

“Hey, Nico,” she called out, twisting the toothpick in her mouth as she pinched it between two fingers. “Nobody’s showed up so far. Are you sure today was a good day to open? I am like this close to making a toothpick castle on the bar top.” She really was that close, too. All Chloe needed was some glue or something sticky to hold the little pieces of wood in place.

An idea struck her head as she leaned against the counter. “Ooh, I know,” Chloe said loud enough for him to hear her, wherever he was. “We could play a game or something ‘til somebody shows up.”

After all was said and done, and both Chloe and Nico were done slinging insults back and forth to one another the two teens actually got along. They knew there was nothing serious in their jokes, and while they could have done it all day long there were moments when the two of them talked normally.

Once Nico had finished prepping the bar area, and Chloe had set up the torches, and the bar snacks, there was nothing for the two of them to do until a customer came in and ordered something to drink. Nico wasn't sure what the chances were of that happening on the current day, but it was a rule of Loki's that the Tiki Hut was open every day of the year that wasn't filled with rain or snow.

The sprite found himself wiping down the same set of glasses for the better part of an hour before Chloe decided she had had it. Nico looked up at the girl, and smiled a little at her comment. That would be something to see, but he liked her idea about a game much better.

"We should play a game," he said as he set down his bar towel. "How about strip poker?" His lips curled into a wicked smirk. "I bet you'd be good at it; the stripping part, at least." Oh the teasing. Nico knew he'd never get bored with it.

Chloe smiled, though it was impossible to tell whether it was innocent or devilish, and shrugged her shoulders. “You just wanna see my big melons again,” she told him, leaning over to poke him in the chest. “And I am not a piece of meat. With a mouth like that, I’d be surprised if any girl thought you were charming. You’re like a freight train going a million miles an hour straight for a girl’s anatomy.” Chloe tilted her head to the side and looked curiously at him, scrunching her nose up at Nico. “Don’t you ever think of anything else, like pizza or football or something?”

She rested her elbow on the bar top and cradled her chin against her palm as a small sigh escaped her. Chloe blew at a stray piece of hair that fell into her face. “If I don’t do something productive, I am going to go Grade A insane and they’ll have to ship me off to a nuttery, so we’ve got to come up with something, boss.” Chloe realized just then how weird it was to call him boss. She still wasn’t used to it, even after today. “Calling you my boss is so weird,” she admitted immediately after she had the thought. Leave it up to Chloe to hold no secrets. If it appeared in her head, she said it out loud.

“And strip poker is not on the list,” Chloe said. She seemed to be thinking about it for a moment until she rolled her neck. “I’m no good at poker.”

"Hell yeah I wanna see your fun bags again," Nico said unabashedly. Why would he lie about what he wanted especially when Chloe was so open about things like that? She made it easy for him to talk about a girl's anatomy since she had no shame saying those things out loud. He shook his head at Chloe, and leaned forward on the bar. "When I'm surrounded by such cute girls how can I think of anything else?" He poked Chloe's nose in a playful manner, and then leaned away from her.

"If you don't call me boss, you can call me Big Daddy," he said with a mischievous smirk. He snickered a little under his breath, and then shook his head in her direction. "Girl, you know you can just call me Nico. That boss stuff is weird for me, too."

So the girl wanted something to do other than poker, and for the life of him Nico couldn't think of anything. He liked to play cards, and watch porn, and he liked to work out, and the only thing they could do at the Tiki Hut was play cards. There was always a deck of cards behind the bar for whenever they got bored, and Chloe's answer just made him want to play poker even more.

"If you're not good that's all the more reason to play! Naked girls are awesome," he said as he bounced his eyebrows. He really wasn't going to make her play if she didn't want to. "What did you want to play then?"

Chloe wrinkled her nose when he poked it with the tip of his finger. She thought about giving him a death glare, but it turned out more look a lazy stare. “Watch it, tiger,” she warned, saying it with a completely straight face. He was turning out to be fun company and someone she could definitely call a friend as long as he didn’t make a creepy move on her one day. He might have been her boss first, but there wasn’t anything in the rules saying she couldn’t be friends with her boss. Besides, he was a temporary boss. That made him more like an uncle than a parent, and uncles always let you get away with more.

“Ew,” Chloe said, making a face at the suggestion. “Why would I call you Big Daddy?” She crossed her arms over her chest on purpose and gave him a look of pure attitude. She was close to saying something ridiculous like how she didn’t see anything big about him, but he brushed the whole thing off by smiling and asserting that his first name was just fine. Chloe smiled and uncrossed her arms, pleased with his friendly response. “Gotcha, Nico.”

“Of course you think naked girls are awesome. You’re a straight boy, it’s only natural,” she replied flippantly. Chloe propped up her elbow and placed her chin upon her hand as she seemed to be thinking about what they could do to pass the time. Strip poker was definitely out of the question.

“I don’t know,” Chloe finally said with an exasperated sigh. “That’s why I asked you.” She looked outward at the sky over the beach and frowned. “It’s so dreary I can’t think today.”

All the talk about naked girls took Nico's mind straight to the gutter. He couldn't help it, and he started to think about all of the things he could do to his girlfriend. They were very good thoughts, but for some reason he felt guilty thinking about them in Chloe's presence. It wasn't like he was thinking about doing them with her, but it felt like she could tell the sort of perversions that went on in his mind just by staring at him.

"Here's a question for you," he said as he leaned forward on the counter. "Why don't girls think that naked guys are awesome? Every chick I've talked to have said that guys look funny naked," and in all honesty Nico thought it was kind of true. He had glanced at himself on more than one occasion in the mirror, and it wasn't always as awesome as he thought it would be. But he didn't say that to anyone out loud.

Despite all the talked about nudity the pair had yet to decide on a card game to pass the time. Nico bridged the cards over and over in his hands, and then put the deck on the bar. "How about 'Go Fish'," he suggested with a small smirk. "You know, 'cause you're a mermaid and stuff."

Wow, that was some kind of question to take in. Chloe looked a little surprised, her brow furrowed, as she wondered how to answer that one. Her eyebrows raised themselves, and she pursed her lips together thoughtfully. “Well, see, men’s naked bodies look good up until you see their extra little appendage just . . . dangling there, and it ruins the whole image. A penis is like a midget limb, and even if a lot of women like what it delivers, it is one of the weirdest looking things on planet earth.” Chloe folded her arms over the bar top and nodded her in assurance. “It’s just fact,” she said in all seriousness.

“But us women are lucky,” she added with a mischievous smile, sitting up straight to gesture at her own chest. “We are gifted with boobs that stick out, and they don’t mess up the body image. They add to it, so our extra appendages make us look hotter.” It was easy for Chloe to say, but it wasn’t the entire truth. She was self-conscious and judgmental about her body like most women. It was supposed to be a good thing to have big boobs, but most of the time Chloe just made an extra effort to cover hers up more. She didn’t always like the leering attention. It wasn’t as if anyone approached her politely to comment about her bosom in gentlemanly terms.

It was actually cool to talk to Nico about private things like this without making him or herself feel weird. He wasn’t trying to make a move on her, and they were genuinely having fun with their conversation. Chloe liked that. He could have leered, but really, he just made cute jokes about everything and kept his distance.

“Aha, ‘Go Fish,’” she echoed, smiling at the suggestion. “I can play ‘Go Fish.’”

Nico wanted to deny Chloe’s words, but he knew they were true. The penis was like a midget limb that just dangled there, and boy did it look funny. He made it a point to not look at it in a mirror. A top-down view was fine, but straight on was just plain weird. Breasts were much better; not on men! But they were perfect on women, and they were fun to play with. Nico thought back happily on all the times he had the chance to cuddle up with boobies, and it was enough to bring a smile to his face.

There were very little things that made Nico uncomfortable so it wasn’t any surprise (to him anyway) that he could talk about breasts and penises with Chloe. She was a cool girl, and kind of cute. If there was anything that Nico regretted it was not talking to her sooner. But his role as “temporary boss” of the Tiki Hut would allow them time to hang out since they worked together. Nico wasn’t always a gentleman, but he knew when, and when not to leer and be crude. This was one of those times, and Chloe was one of those women. He could joke with her, but anything beyond that he wouldn’t do.

“Go Fish it is!” He shuffled the deck, and dealt seven cards for each of them. He raised his brows, and glanced over at Chloe once he was done. “Ladies first,” he said with a smile as he fanned out his cards, and began to rearrange them in his hand.

It was nice to make a friend, even if it was in an unexpected manner. Nico wasn’t all that bad of company, and she had to admit he was pretty funny, too. At least she knew she wouldn’t get in trouble at work for having fun if there was nothing to do. Loki hadn’t been like that, and she was glad his friend Nico was the same. It would have sucked to have a boss who was up her ass twenty-four seven about doing this and doing that just for the sake of appearances. If there weren’t any customers to attend to or any messes to clean up, then Chloe didn’t see anything wrong with taking some downtime.

“Ooh, a gentleman,” she teased, picking up her cards and making sure Nico couldn’t get a peek at them. They proceeded to play a simple game of cards, which was actually quite fun. The two of them continued to talk despite the game, and many laughs ensued over their strange topics of conversation. It had been a while since Chloe found someone she could just let loose with freely, and Nico was the perfect person for the job. After all, they were both still teenagers. They had their whole lives in front of them, so they might as well not worry about the little things along the way.
