Thread: Copycat and Morph Who: Vanessa Carlysle and Kevin Sydney NPCs: N/A When: September 14, 2009; evening Where: Vanessa's apartment What: Kevin needs some downtime, Vanessa has chocolate. Rating: PG-13?
Vanessa realized, halfway through making fresh brownies (from the box), that she was trying to make a good impression. Like, a really good impression. She didn't usually bake. Or cook. Takeout was usually the way to go. But she'd made a quick run to the supermarket, picking up brownie mix and hot fudge and chocolate ice cream and, hell, even chocolate flavored whipped cream, and had come back to actually cook the brownies.
All for some Death by Chocolate to cheer Kevin up.
Hell, she'd called in sick to work that night. Which, luckily, she'd never done before at Temptation, so her boss actually accepted the excuse. Last thing he wanted was a stripper coughing all over the clientele. Besides, working there was more than a bit sketchy after the MLF had been broken up. Somehow, she got the feeling that there were still a few members lingering in the club, and the club's staff had dropped significantly. But it was a job, and it was money. So she'd just have to keep a low profile for now.
All of that was neither here nor there as she changed shape and picked out a pair of jeans and a cute top while the brownies finished cooking. For goodness sake, after Wade, Vanessa had determined that the opposite sex was good for nothing more than friendship, like Chris, or money. And here she was trying to impress a guy. Trying to help him on top of that, even if he didn't know it was her. Even though she'd been determined, after coming to California, to strip for money and be 'normal' the rest of the time.
