Where: Their Apartment
When: March 14th, Afternoon
Patience was sitting on the floor, looking through different Help Wanted ads as she tried to figure out just what she wanted to try and do with her life for now. While being a housewife to Pat sounded pretty sweet, Patience Kowalski was no goddamn mooch. If she was going to be here with him, then she was going to be contributing something to this household, even if it was just paying the cable bill every night. "Hey, Patty! Do you think I'd make a good waitress?" she called out to him.
"Patience... come ON... I totally get that you want to work. And it's admirable." Pat laughed, sitting in a recliner as he read through a newspaper. "But you? A waitress? You'd get fired for swearing at a customer within a week. Two tops." Hey, he loved her... but he knew her temper, ok? "Any interest in working at Avarice 2? Bronte and Grant would probably hire you... you're too young to bartend, but maybe if you REALLY want to try waitressing you could do it there..."
"I'm not exactly dying to waitress, but I want to contribute somehow," she said to him. "Maybe I can work at Gwen's shop. I don't know as much about comics as she does, but it's not like I can't learn that stuff," she said to him. "Plus, don't got to do the fake ID stuff with her. Wouldn't have to do that at Avarice II, either, obviously."
"Jesus Christ. The very thought of you and Gwen working together fills me with dread... yet makes me want to laugh evilly. You should ask her." Oh, great, Pat. Encourage her. "Plus, you'd pretty much have to set the place on fire for her or Blake to fire you..."
"Oh yeah, could definitely be scary for the general populous, but I'd never be fired for sure," Patience said with a smirk. "Unless I hit on her woman, but even *I* know better than to do something crazy like that."
"Plus, three hot women in the same place? Every nerdy kid in TOWN will be wanting to shop there." Plus he hadn't seen Max! Dear lord... what a great point!
"That should be the place's logo or something. 'Hot Women Work Here!' Nerds will be coming from the four corners of the world will converge onto the place and make Gwen and Blake billions," she said, laughing.
"Hey, at least you know about video games. They sell some of those, I think... and I'm sure Gwen and Blake could get you more knowledgable about comics and stuff." Pat smiled, just kind of loving that she was so excited about these small things. "So... question for you. If we can get a new drummer... would you be at all interested in seeing World Ablaze do a reunion show?"
"Yeah, they can train me to be a good clerk or whatever." Her face broke into a wide grin when he suggested that he was going to find a way to bring back World Ablaze. "Oh my GAWD, really? That would be SO awesome. You've got to find one!"
"I just... I found out that our old guitarist, Raine, is living here in Vegas. And she's been having trouble finding a new band. Maybe this could help her." He grinned broadly then, "Plus... it would be a way of celebrating YOU, since that's the band I was in when we met."
She nodded, reaching up and giving him a big hug. "I think that it'll be great. Sure, Broken Sunrise is awesome and everything, don't get me wrong. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't give my left tit to see you up there again singing the songs that I knew of, you know?"
"Makes me remember back in Sunnydale... first time you saw me play live. I was trying to get you to open up in school, to trust me... and you thought I was just bullshitting you." He smiled. "You heard me singing... and started to believe me."
She nodded. "No one who sings like you can be full of bull like I was expecting," she said. He was a person who bared his soul on stage. She had to believe in him after seeing him perform like that.
"God... hard to believe I was able to wait as long as I did to just... compeltely RAVAGE you, you know that?" Especially since now? He could barely LOOK at her without carrying her off.
"I agree. Kind of amazing. Since I *know* it had to be hard for you." She hadn't exactly been a willing participant in the whole 'let's wait a bit before going at it' deal that they had. She had been ready THAT NIGHT after watching him sing.
"Yeah. 'Hard' being the key word there." He smirked, sort of staring at her for a long moment. ".....and now I just wanna carry you off again."
She started laughing. "Is that ALL you think about?" she said, sounding faux indignant. "GOD!" She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted at him.
"Have you looked in a mirror? You're the sexiest girl I've ever SEEN. It's like putting a fat kid in a candy store and expecting him to NOT think about eating." Well... not exactly PC, but not totally off the mark either...
The pout disappeared into a mess of giggles. "All you seem to want to do is eat me," she said with a smirk. Hey, what could she do when he lobbed softballs like that at her?
"Well... among other things, yes..." He admitted with a laugh. "That's it. Me and you. Bedroom. Now." Oh dear. When Pat started getting all one-word-sentences? It was ON.
"Well, I gotta do what you say when you get all caveman on me," she said with a smile, finally getting up and heading to the bedroom.
