Confusion
Who: Eve and Deanna
Where: Avarice
When: Friday Night, 11/19
Eve sat at the bar in Avarice, chilling over a cosmopolitan as she watched the multitudes of teenagers grind against one another on the dance floor. While the air wasn't quite as good as Saints & Sinners (for obvious reasons), weekend nights with a bunch of teenagers around with hormones was still nourishing enough to live off of. She definitely got a kick out of these places. She smirked as she continued to watch the kids dance on the floor.
Deanna meanwhile, was there just to have a few drinks and enjoy herself. Joshua was out on some kind of patrol... thingie tonight, and while she was very happy with him so far... she also wasn't ready to just dive into something yet. Not when her heart and morale still hurt so bad from Kayla. She didn't think it was fair to her OR to him to commit yet, until her own baggage was gone. She sat there, though, smiling as she thought about the sweet man, and his determination to give her whatever she needed.
When Eve spotted Dee, she got up with her drink and sat down by her. "I'm hoping that I'm not interrupting anything tonight?" she asked with a bright smile. "If not, mind if I join you for a drink?"
"Oh! Eve!" Dee blurted out, broken from her thoughts by the admittedly gorgeous blonde. Seriously, leave it to Eve to make DEANNA feel frumpy and plain. "Sure thing... what's up?"
She took a deep breath, enjoying the 'ambiance' for a second. "Oh, not too much," Eve said with a smile. "Figured I'd take one of my days off and enjoy the sights of LA a little bit. What about you?"
"Honestly? Just have a LOT on my mind. And figured I'd think for a while, and just... get away from everything." She said with blunt honesty, finding herself unable to NOT look into the other blonde's eyes.
Eve gave Dee a slight nod. "That's something I can understand, actually," she admitted. What was on Eve's mind? Well, to put it succinctly, Deanna was. Eve had this...well, habit of becoming attached to humans, and now she was finding that she was having some of those feelings for Deanna. Eve was *trying* to ignore such feelings, since they had never worked out well before and got her into lots of trouble the last time they happened.
"Yeah. I... ok, well... you know about Kayla, and how she kinda stomped on my heart and threw it in a blender." Hey, that's how it felt. Shut up. "Well... I met a REALLY sweet guy, that I like a LOT. But he seems to want to heal me and make me his, and I think that's really nice... but I need to find a way to tell him I like him, and I wanna keep seeing him... but that I need time to heal on my own. That I can't just commit myself to someone again so soon."
"Well, he sounds utterly adorable," Eve said after taking a sip of her drink and thinking for a second. "Maybe a little too willing and wanting to move forward, though. Have you tried telling him just that?" she asked. "As long as you're honest with him, I'm sure he'll understand that."
"I want to... but I ADORE him, and I don't wanna hurt him. He kinda got hurt a little himself recently, and I don't want him thinking I'm ditching him cuz I'm TOTALLY not and now I'm rambling and you could probably care LESS." She sighed with a little blush, honestly FAR too adorably sweet to be a stripper.
"I think you being honest with him would hurt him a whole lot less than not admitting it to him and him finding out in some other way," Eve said. God, a succubus giving out relationship advice. Did ANYONE see this coming? "And I do care. I actually consider you a friend."
"Thanks, Eve. Can't say I ever really... thought you thought of me as anything other than easy money when we dance together at work." She laughed, knowing that the two of them dancing together always equaled TOP cash.
Eve smiled. "You really need to ask people things more often," she said with a slight chuckle. "We do make wonderful money together, but I like talking to you, too." About as honest as Eve was willing to get right now.
"Cool... I can always use more friends...." Plus, it made her feel less... icky about the one-nighter she'd had with the succubus. If the girl actually LIKED her... she was able to focus more on the it-felt-good part of it.
Eve liked her a little more than she was willing to admit, actually. Moving on, though. "So could I, to tell the truth." Eve...actually didn't have that much in the way of friends. Sad but true.
"Then we should start hanging out more. Outside of work, I mean." Really, Meredith was the only really GOOD friend she had, and she'd been so busy lately, between her band and spending time with Brayden...
Although, if she asked, Mere would totally hang with her. Just saying. "I'd love that, actually," Eve said with a grin, finishing off her own drink.
"You know... you always come off so aloof at work... I'd never have guessed you were so nice, and friendly." Dee didn't mean anything mean by it... she just tended to say things without thinking.
Eve just chuckled. "Sorry about that. I kind of try to keep up a professional demeanor when at work." She snorted. "Well, professional as far as a strip club where the owner constantly has sex with his wife in there can be."
"They're both SO hot, aren't they?" Dee had to admit, as hey... she'd had her OWN tryst with Ben a long, long time ago...
"They really are," Eve agreed. She could actually get a good meal out of the pheromones that those two put out. It was kind of dizzying.
"Have you ever....?" She let the question go unfinished, as face it... Eve knew where she was going with this.
Eve smirked. "Just Ben," she said plainly. "Never had the opportunity to be with Skylar. She's always been kind of pregnant." Not that she still wasn't ridiculously hot. She totally was. "May have to try it someday."
"Gotta admit... I would. I'm sort of like you. Been with Ben, but never Skylar. She's SO gorgeous though..." She had to give a sad grin there. "Ever been with Kayla? God... when I was dating her... the sex was amazing. Best EVER."
"I actually didn't try because she was dating you while she worked at Saints & Sinners," Eve admitted. It wasn't that she didn't get a kick out of getting people to fool around on their significant others. It actually made for a very delicious meal. It would have just made work life HELL.
"God, that woman... I still miss her, actually. All of it. The love, the sex... I miss feeling like I was someone's WORLD, you know?" She asked, smiling sadly.
Eve gave her a smile. "I'm sorry that things didn't work out between the two of you," she said to Dee. "I know that you really loved her." Eve kind of wondered if she would be able to find something like that, because, sadly, she kind of wanted it.
"I dunno... sometimes I don't think I'm meant to have that. That's why I'm so hesitant with Joshua, really. Maybe I'm just... meant to be the 'good-time' girl, you know?" She asked with a sad little grin.
Eve actually leaned against her slightly, laying her head on Dee's shoulders. "You're telling that to a succubus," she pointed out to Dee. "I may be the ultimate 'good-time' girl for men."
Aww! And look at Dee actually blush there. "Which is a shame, because no matter what you are, you're probably the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I mean, you're seriously just... BEAUTIFUL."
"Well, I'm sure we'll BOTH find what we're looking for some day," Eve said to her. "And you're quite gorgeous yourself, you know." She really was. Did Deanna not KNOW this?
Sexy? That much Deanna knew. Gorgeous? Beautiful? Not so much. "Well.. thank you. I don't always FEEL it though... maybe when we're at work, but it's hard NOT to then."
Eve giggled. "Is it because of how I look at you or how the men in the audience look?" she joked. "And you are. Just trust me on this one. I've been around long enough to know what true beauty is, after all." And Dee all but glowed to Eve, especially with the whole 'I'm so innocent while still take off my clothes for money' thing she had going on.
"The men..." She said with a blink, catching that first part. "...you look at me a lot? Seriously?"
"You've really got to start looking in the mirror more often," Eve pointed out. "Of course I do. You're utterly gorgeous, may I repeat, plus you're a stripper while still maintaining some sort of purity that I can't quite wrap my head around. You utterly intrigue me in ways I can't explain."
"Wow... you know nobody's ever called me 'utterly gorgeous' before..." She smiled brightly there. Even the people who tended to compliment her, like Meredith and others, called her sexy, hot, etc... but gorgeous? Beautiful? Those were words she didn't hear too often. And there WAS a difference.
"Then I think you need to start hanging with the right people," Eve said playfully. OK, she didn't admit her true feelings very often. You didn't live as long as she did and do so. Now she wasn't sure what to say about it.
"Well... it's not like I have an overabundance of friends, so... trust me when I say my schedule is open." Dee said with a sweet laugh, resting her chin in her hands. "Not that I mind, but where is all this coming from? For months we've worked together and you've barely said two words to me..."
Eve simply shrugged. She wasn't terribly sure where all of this had come from, either, but she figured that she might as well tell the girl about what was going through her head instead of just keeping it all inside. "Guess I should have talked more before," she said simply.
"No time like the present, you know..." Dee said sweetly, blinking those big doe-like eyes adorably. "Tell me what's going on in that brain."
Wow, if only she knew, huh? "Sometimes I'm not even sure what's going on in my brain," Eve admitted to her.
"Sigh. You're SO pretty, but I haaaaate when people get all cryptic on me. So, anyway..." She let out a little grumble, feeling like she was hitting a brick wall here. "Want another drink?"
"It's...hard for something like me to talk about my feelings very well," Eve admitted. "Maybe another drink would help with that a little, though." Sad but true.
She didn't mean it in a sexual way, either. The woman was so damned beautiful it was like looking at fine art.
Eve smiled and ordered herself another cosmopolitan. "You're a very sweet woman, Deanna," Eve said to her. "You always manage to surprise me with your kindness."
"I try..." She responded with a shrug. "My momma always raised me to treat others as I'd like to be treated. Even though... msot of the time I get royally crapped on ANYWAY."
Eve reached over and squeezed Dee's hand. "Then you just haven't met the right person yet." It seemed that this girl had epically bad luck in the dating department.
"You can say THAT again. Seriously... so far the people I've let myself REALLY fall for ended up being an evil lawyer who wanted to kill my little sister, and a slayer who went batty and dumped me." She smirked, trying to make light of it. "My life SUCKS."
"I can always destroy the lawyer for you," Eve said somewhat playfully. "If it will make you feel better, that is." Although...could she really corrupt Lindsey McDonald further?
"Could you really?" Oh god... Dee actually SMILED there! "I've never hated anyone before him. Even now... I only hate one other person as bad... and I don't even think it qualifies as a person."
Eve grinned. "I'm sure I can do something about him," she said to her. Succubi weren't exactly strong, but they had other ways of getting rid of people. "Who else do you hate?"
"I believe... he's referred to as Abaddon." Her mood and expression darkened there. "He's a demon... that ruined my LIFE."
Eve nodded. "The demon who plays with people's dreams?" she asked. That was something just...wrong. Why kill people? Honestly, there were SO many ways to deal with a person better than killing them.
"Yes. If I had power... any kind of power... I'd murder him myself." Oh my GOD... this was some new side of Dee NOBODY had seen.
"That's a want that I can understand," Eve admitted. She had felt that way once as well. She could understand even more than she was willing to admit. "I can certainly understand it."
"That's why I feel bad for Joshua. He's falling for me. I know it. And I care a LOT about him." She shook her head, letting out a LONG groan. "But I'm only gonna hurt him if I try to dedicate myself to just him right now. my heart... needs to heal before I can commit to someone entirely."
"I'm sure that he'll understand if you explain it to him like you have to me," Eve said, resting her hand on Dee's for a second. "All you have to do is tell him, which I understand is the hardest part."
"Thank you, Eve. I feel like I might be making a real friend in you..." Too bad she didn't realize that wasn't exactly what Eve had in mind, hm? Nobody ever said Dee was a rocket scientist...
Although Eve figured her to be smarter than most people gave her credit for. "I'm glad to hear that," Eve said. Well, no one said that this wouldn't be a work in progress now, would it?
