Celeste in the Mocha, OTA, MW.
Antique Apparel was up and running beautifully, and Celeste was beginning to trust her staff enough that she'd decided to take the morning away from the shop to catch up on a little paperwork, work out her staff schedule for the next week.

And so, 10 o'clock found her ensconced in a corner of the Mocha, wearing a pretty floral tea dress and peeptoe sandals, a frappuchino at her elbow as she sat with schedules spread out across her table, her diary splayed open to the page with her staff's availability.

She was very easily distractable, and happy for company.

	"Oh, so you're Gabe," she shook his hand, smiling widely. "Kris told me all about you. Looks like you've got over your cold, at least..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I knew you had to be Celeste," he said. "Kris told me about you as well but I must admit, his description of how lovely you are didn't do you justice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Celeste laughed. "And you seem to be just as much of a charmer as he is," she replied, smiling at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well," Gabe said and rubbed his nails on his shirt, "he learned from the best." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, of course," Celeste agreed, managing - for the most part - to contain a smile. "And are you enjoying the Manor as much as Kris seems to be?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am," he said. "It's a fantastic building full of fantastic people. But what about you? Are you enjoying it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, very much so," she purred, smirking just a little. She'd certainly enjoyed certain inhabitants of the Manor, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh now I like that look." Gabe leaned forward and propped his chin in his hand. "That's the look of a naughty girl. What have you been up to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have no idea what you could be suggesting, I'm sure," she said, trying her best not to grin, and failing rather miserably. She had used coverup, but as she leant forward, smiling conspiratorially, there was just the faintest hint of a bruise, bitemarks, on the curve of her breast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabe might come across to most as gay but he was a hot blooded heterosexual male and his eyes went straight to her breasts. And being in the business he was in he knew a makeup cover up when he saw one. "Oh someone has been having fun," he said, voice a bit low and raised wicked eyes back up to hers. "I think I'm jealous." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Celeste raised her eyebrows, glancing up to the ceiling, feigning innocence. "A lady never kisses and tells," she murmurs. "But yes, fun was had. Repeatedly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good for you. But I must ask - does this mean that if I were to ask you out for dinner sometime you'd have to say no?" He gave her his best puppy dog eyes. Which were really quite good. They'd never failed him yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were very good puppy dog eyes. Not that Celeste needed much persuading, mind you. "Not neccessarily," she said, smiling flirtatiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh good. I still have a shot." He grinned and sat back in his chair. "So - darling - would you be interested in dinner sometime?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would be lovely," she grinned back, reaching into her diary and pulling out a business card. "My cell is on there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gabe took it and tucked it into his jeans's pocket.

"And if you need me just call down to the spa. But I will be calling you soon to set this up."

He was about to say something else when his iPhone chimed.

"One sec," he told her and pulled the phone out to look at the text message. "Ah - right. My client is early. Figures. Never on time when you need them to be and always early when you don't want them to be."

He sighed dramatically and stood then took her hand and kissed the back of it.

"We shall talk soon."
