Ben May Need to Learn Some New Parenting Techniques
Who: Ben and Skylar
Where: Saints & Sinners
When: Friday Night, 11/19
Skylar sat at her and Ben's personal table in Avarice while she waited for him to get off the phone doing...whatever the hell business stuff that he did for this club. While Mere did do most of the day to day stuff, Ben was the one who really knew how to run a business, and that's what he was doing. However, since she couldn't drink and neither Dee nor Eve were working tonight, things were a little dull for Skylar out there. It was some blond bimbo on stage; not quite to Skylar's taste.
Ben finally walked out, having finished his work for the night, and immediately almost laughed upon seeing how BORED his wife looked. Only Skylar could be bored in a strip club. "You know, love..." He said teasingly, "I haven't seen people look THAT bored since the last time Roth toured with Van Halen..."
She looked up at him and smirked. "I think you're confusing the tour with Roth with the tour with Gary Charone," she said to him. "Why hire the same blond bimbos that work at every other club in LA? If I wanted to see a girl with fake hooters, I could go to Skins."
"What can I say? I gotta hire girls that the guys that come in here like. And sadly? A lot of men like that. Plus... talking of typical blonde bimbos, let us not forget your affection for our dear Ally..."
"I like Ally for reasons that have nothing to do with her bust line, actually," Skylar said. "You have to appreciate a girl who fully admits to wanting to grow up to be a trophy wife." Maybe not quite admire it, but honestly was awesome, after all. "Unlike much of her body, her personality isn't fake."
"Mm. And surely, it has nothing to do with you not-so-secretly wanting to do her." He smirked, crossing his arms. "Besides... we ALL know who my personal favorite dancer here is. And she trumps any of the others."
"So, with Sarah off starting her own business, is there a dancer here now that you haven't done?" Skylar asked. OK, she may want to do Ally, but, once again, it was all attitude. As horrid as it was, it was still sexy to see a woman going after exactly what she wanted.
"Well, Meredith got a new girl to work here... so I haven't had her yet." Yes... he said YET. Sigh. "So that's fairly exciting... also, that Scarlett girl, sadly."
Oh, Skylar totally caught that and chuckled. "I believe Scarlett may have a boyfriend. I think I remember Eve mentioning that once." She believed that Eve tried to go there at some point or another, anyway.
"Well damn." He said, smirking as he found himself looking her over once again, much as he used to before they'd even hooked up the first time. "Oh, have I mentioned how much I LOVE having a slayer working for me who crushes on me bad enough to pretty much do anything I ask?"
Skylar laughed. "I'm sure that you do love having a slayer that you can ride in both a metaphoric and literal since," she said. "So, when are you going to bring her home again?" Skylar never said that she didn't enjoy it.
"Soon, love. Right now... I'm focusing on training her properly... and having her do some sabotage work for me." Yeah. nice, Ben.
"Some sabotage work?" OK, this was something that Skylar apparently didn't know about. "Now what else do you have this girl up to?"
"Oh, not much... just seeing if maybe I can spark some interest between her and a certain... teenage bane of my existence..." Oh god... Ben was truly evil. In every way.
Skylar shook her head. "If you're talking about Brandie's boyfriend, I'm going to withhold sex from you," she said with a stern look. "Because I have no idea why you're OK with your son running around doing god knows who but wanting your daughter to remain virginal and pure. Trust me when I say that doesn't work."
"I don't expect Brandie to remain virginal and pure forever. But she's too young. And she can do MUCH better than that boy." Sigh. He meant well, really.
"I was up to plenty at fourteen and turned out fine," Skylar pointed out. "Good lord. Apparently Mere gave our son a Playboy when he was like, twelve." She paused for a second. "And what's wrong with the boy she picked?"
"He's... creepy. He's like Ash 2.0, and really, who needs seconds of that?" He asked, raising a brow and sighing as, hey... he was protective of Brandie, ok?
"Maybe you should put some effort into getting to know him," she pointed out to him. "He's really actually quite sweet, and not nearly as creepy as Ash Kowalski can be sometimes." She smirked. "While I find it utterly hot that you are protective of your daughter, do trust me when I say that sabotaging a relationship is going to blow up in your face if she finds out somehow. Do you really want her hating her father like that?"
"Of course not. I've grown very attached to the girl, in spite of her temporarily destroying our sex life." He sighed, wondering if maybe he SHOULD just stop.
Skylar leaned against him. "And that has certainly picked up again," she said with a smile. At least she seemed to be getting through to him, because she could totally read him like that.
"Yes... it certainly has..." He said with a huge grin. So sue him, he STILL wanted her pretty much 24/7. Like that would ever stop. "Want to get out of here?" He asked, as if she wouldn't know exactly what he meant.
Skylar smirked. "Sure. Let's get the hell out of here and get home." For once, she was willing to wait until they got to their own bed. She could do some REAL acrobatics in a comfy place like that, after all.
