Something Odd Is Going On...
Who: Ben and Catherine
Where: The Hyperion
When: Oct. 11, Evening
Catherine had finished training with Jeremy for the day, and was ready to get the hell out of here and go out on the town with Brandon. She wasn't sure what it was, but lately she had been feeling even more cooped up than usual, needing to run around and just DO something. Maybe it was fear of the apocalypse, a slayer thing, or a young woman in the prime of her life thing, but she had been dying to get out lately. So, after showering and getting dressing in this outfit, she started to apply her makeup and sing to herself.
"What you get is what you see
it won't take much to get hooked on me
so shoot me right into your skin
and i will be your heroin
the side affects are sexual
are you down for a taste?
the side affects are sexual
and you love the way i say
I'm your favorite drug
your favorite drug
just one hit is never enough
I'm your favorite drug
your favorite drug
you cant break this addiction no.
your favorite drug.... "
"Where the HELL if that voice coming from?" Came the hilariously curious voice of Benjamin Bale. He'd come to the hotel a bit early, to properly set up an area for Naomi to train in, when he heard the singing. And come on... first and foremost, he was a man who loved finding new talent for his label. He walked in and saw... "...Catherine???"
She had heard Ben talking and figured he was looking for someone else. While she wouldn't exactly run anyone off with her voice, it wasn't anything worth writing home about usually either. She had been applying lipstick in a mirror when Ben walked in. "Yes?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at him.
"Where the hell did that come from?" He asked, blinking comically. Ben, of course... wasn't one to mice words. "I've seen you singing along to Brandon's music. Normally you make me pray for deafness."
She laughed, then shrugged. "Maybe I'm finally absorbing all of the music that's going on around me," she said playfully to him. She turned back to the mirror to continue with her make up. "What's it matter, anyway?"
"What's it matter???" He asked, a little exasperated there. "Um.. hello? I run a record label, Catherine!"
That just made her laugh. "Just because I can sing a few bars doesn't necessarily mean that you should sign me to your record label, Ben," she pointed out to him, not even realizing that she had just made up that bloody song she was singing as well.
"Well, you aren't exactly studio-ready right this second but... there's REALLY something THERE!" Not that he'd ever admit it, but.. right then? For the first time EVER, he found Catherine totally hot. Hey. It's Ben. Deal.
Because he'd never looked at her before? Idiot. Anyways..."Fine," she said with a slight shrug. "Then what do we do?" Strangely enough, when she was singing...almost perfect English. Go figure.
"We talk to Brandon, and see if he minds bringing you with him the next time he comes in to record with Meeghan. While they're recording, you and I can try a few things out together." No, not like that. Perv. Ok, so maybe if she weren't with Brandon, ok?
"Sounds like a plan," she said to him with a smile. "Now, if you don't mind, I have a date, and I believe you have a Slayer that needs training." She smirked. "If that's what they're calling it these days." OK, she was teasing. Ben WAS known as the corrupter of souls, and Catherine had SEEN Naomi. Utterly adorable. Ben must have incredible willpower to not at least try and...and why the HELL was normally straight Catherine thinking about girls that way?
"Very true. I have to go look all dashing and handsome and give young Naomi some great visuals to take to sleep with her tonight." Oh, Ben, you cocky, arrogant shit...
**(Note: The song she's singing is "Your Favorite Drug" by Porcelain and the Tramps. It's actually Catherine's PB that sings it.)
