Gaining a Possible Date
Who: Eve and Deanna
Where: Avarice
When: Monday Evening, 1/10
'Stiff upper lip' was a term Deanna never really understood until recently. She was positively miserable, still missing Kayla to the point that she felt it wasn't fair to totally give herself to Joshua (not when her entire heart wasn't yet in it), but unlike others? She wasn't going to sulk. She forced a smile on her face, dressed in an adorable ankle-length white dress, and went to Avarice for a few drinks. Sitting at the bar, she tapped her feet as she let the music flow through her...
Eve herself had a rare night off (not that she needed the money, but she liked the work and liked the food) and had decided to go to Avarice in order to take someone home to feed off of and get a fuller meal for the night. When she saw Deanna, though, a meal was forgotten, and instead she headed over to the bar and sat down beside her. "Hello," she said simply before ordering herself a drink.
"Oh!" Dee said, blushing as Eve had caught her zoning a bit. "Hey Eve.. How are you tonight? We BOTH have the night off? Mere must have done the schedule... Ben ALWAYS has at least one of us there..." She giggled, still clueless about the feelings Eve was starting to have towards her.
And Eve wasn't even totally sure if she should tell Dee, considering her own luck. She had a feeling Mere might have figured something out, though, thus a night where they were both off. "I'm sure all the men in the club are mourning a night where neither of us are there," Eve said playfully. "I'm doing alright. How are you?"
"Not as well as I'm pretending, but I'm dealing." She said with a sad smile. "You look amazing, as usual."
"You look amazing as well," Eve said with a grin. "And at least you're dealing. It is a start, after all."
"It is. I just... I miss Kayla still sometimes. And I know Joshua is gorgeous, and a wonderful man... I just wonder sometime if Lindsey ruined me ever being able to fully trust a man again." She sighed, taking a sip of her drink.
Eve simply shrugged. "Unfortunately, that might be true," she told Dee. "I just hope that Kayla hasn't scared you completely off of relationships forever. There are still plenty of people out there who can love you." A succubus talking about love. How strange.
"I still believe in love, Eve." Dee said sweetly. "I just.. sometimes wonder if I'm meant to have it. I've really LOVED three people. Each one decided I wasn't the one they needed."
"I admittedly wonder that sometimes, too," she said. "I think you just have to be willing to keep trying and not give up, no matter how much it hurts sometimes. It'll be worth it in the end." She chuckled. "This has to sound strange coming from me."
"A little..." She admitted, "I always thought you were just about sex. I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought. I'm really sorry..."
"Sex is...what most of the demonic part of me is about, true," Eve admitted with a slight smirk. "I do have other desires past that, though." She reached over and squeezed Dee's hand.
"Hm?" Dee said, a liiiiiiittle confused now. "I know I'm not exactly a brain surgeon, but I am REALLY confused right now."
If Eve were watching this instead of living it, it would be hilarious. "I think you're smarter than you give yourself credit for," Eve said quickly. "I like you, though. Probably more than I should."
"...you like me? As in... LIKE me like me?" D'oh... Deanna? Not the most eloquent gal, hm?
Eve gave a nervous smile, which actually looked strange on her. "I do, yes," she admitted.
"Wow. Seriously? YOU?" Oh, Dee... "You're like... the hottest person I've ever MET. What's so special about ME?" The heartbreaking part? She meant that.
"I'm not terribly sure," Eve admitted. "But I must admit, that it's something that I'd like to find out." Even if it wasn't for either of their benefits. Now she wanted to make sure that she didn't bring bad luck to Dee, if something came of this. "You truly catch my eyes, Deanna, and that's something that's hard to do when you're as old as I am."
"I... wow. I just... I didn't even think you liked being AROUND me..." She clearly had taken Eve's standoffishness the wrong way.
Eve chuckled. "I'm naturally kind of...standoffish by nature." When you tended to outlive everyone around you, to keep your sanity, you kept your distance until you found someone you thought might actually be worth watching grow old.
"So... what do we do here?" Dee asked, unsure of what Eve really wanted. She knew that by nature the woman needed sex to survive, and honestly? That thought wasn't exactly unappealing to her.
"I'm not sure...I admit...I haven't really wanted a person past...the physical aspect for over one hundred years," Eve admitted to her. "Do we try...dating?" Like she had a clue as to what that really was.
"We could just spend time together, see where it goes..." She blushed a little, "I don't exactly have a rep for being 'hard to get' after all..."
"Well, I'm not after you for sex." She smiled. "Well, not *just* sex. I'll be honest there. You are great in bed." Something that, sadly, Eve was more comfortable talking about. "I like the idea of spending time together, though."
"Me too. I just... I dunno what to think about anything or anyONE anymore..." She admitted frankly, realizing that somehow, she felt more comfortable being honest and open with EVE than she did with even her best friends.
Which worked well in Eve's favor, more than anything. "We don't have to put a label on on anything right now. Sometimes, you shouldn't overthink things and just let them happen," she said with a slight smile.
"I just... aren't you a demon? Why would you be interested in dating ME? I mean..." She blushed there, "weren't you gonna be on that show for Pat McConnell?"
"I was, because I thought it would be fun." And certainly a tasty meal. "He isn't doing it anymore. Plus...I can't exactly push my feeling aside any longer." Eve sighed. "I don't have much luck outside of sex."
"I can't believe that. You're like, the sexiest woman I've ever SEEN. Seriously. Even Ben and Skylar can't stop staring at you!" Dee exclaimed, almost cutely flailing.
Eve chuckled. "That's partially because of what I am," she pointed out. "I could theoretically have just about anyone I pleased...but the person that I actually want to spend time with is you."
"What if... I want to see what you REALLY look like?" Dee asked, sounding kind of adorable.
"My demonic form...isn't as scary as some are," Eve said. "I still look mostly human, just with horns, wings, and a tail." Could be much scarier.
Yeah... now this? Is where Dee unintentionally showed WHY she and Mere got along so well. "....I... I really shouldn't find that as hot as I do."
Eve laughed. "I can always appear in that form for you one night," she said breathily. "I can appear as anyone you want me to be for a night." Another fun thing about being an old succubus: she could change her form completely and appear as anyone.
"Any form?" She whimpered, as... oh no. That poor thing. "You... you remember Kayla? Can you... can you look like her?"
Eve nodded, still holding a smile on her face. It actually didn't bother her to think that Dee might want her to take the form of old loves from time to time. If it was what it took to seal the deal, so be it. She had done it plenty of times before. "I can look just like her, even speak in her voice."
"Ohmygod." Dee said, her voice trembling in a heartbreaking fashion. "I... I don't wanna have to do that... I just miss her. I don't tell many people this, but... Kayla and Meredith? Are the only two women I've ever really been... in love with. Totally."
Eve nodded. "I can appear as either one of them if that's what you wish," she said to Dee. Eve couldn't figure out why she was pulled to someone so innocent, no matter what her sexual history may have been. But she was, and she wanted to posses her.
"Eve... you're seriously SO beautiful, but... I don't wanna hurt you. You're becoming one of the few friends I have, and I don't want to hurt you by trying and... not being able to be what you want." She was just being honest, folks. Dee felt so unlovable right now, that she felt like she wasn't able to BE in a relationship.
"You can't imagine what hurt has been placed upon my brow," Eve said, reaching forth and moving a piece of hair out of Dee's face and tucking it behind her ear. "Appearing as someone you love for a night is a trifle if it means I still get to be with you."
"I just... you REALLY want to date me THAT bad?" Deanna asked, just laying her insecurity and self-doubt out on the table.
"I do," Eve says to her. "When you're immortal, you learn to accept certain things so that you can be around the people you want to be around. I don't mind. Really."
"Then... if you're sure you want the baggage that comes with me, I'm willing to give it a try." She said, hoping she wasn't going to end up hurting ANOTHER friend in her quest to find love.
