Date: August 6, 1997
Characters: Cassius and Janelle
Location: Misty Missy's Tea House
Status: Private
Summary: So he wanted some tea..
Completion: InComplete

Cassius never fancied himself much of a partier, or a time waster. What he preferred was intelligent conversation sprinkled in with a bit of wit and sarcasm. If given that he was generally pleased by the outcome. If the person was ignorant they rarely warranted a second glance or even polite conversation. However what he loved more than conversation was watching people around him.

Didn't matter if they were scholars or fools, Cassius enjoyed watching them go about their day as if he didn't exist. He would make up stories about them in his head and what he felt they were doing whatever sordid affairs they were carrying on while their significant others were away.

He was enjoying just such a day when he wandered into a tea shop he visited time and again. Cassius didn't go just for the tea however, a friend of his, if you could call her that, worked there. Cassius took his seat near the window with a view of the alley and ordered strong tea no sugar. There he sat waiting for the waitress to arrive which he assumed would be his usual girl.

"If thinking I can't live without you helps you through the day then I suppose there is no harm in allowing you to think that." Janelle said as she looked Cassius over. She brushed some of her hair from her face as she watched him pour another cup of tea. "Well I am very honored you feel like waiting that fifteen minutes." Janelle smirked as she glanced over at the other girls who were going about their business. "If you can live without me for a few minutes I could just cash in and clean up and probably leave." Janelle shrugged her shoulders.

She leaned over the table and peeked into the pot to see how much water her had. "Would you want some more water while you wait?" She might as well be a decent waitress as she was making her friend wait. Janelle moved to stand up and smoothed out her skirt and apron.

"I knew you couldn't" he said watching her brush her hair from her eyes. "I'm sure in the long run the wait will be well worth my while." He nodded taking a sip of his tea and putting some sickles on the table. If there was one thing about Cassius he always tipped heavily when it came to her. "Suppose I can wait that long."

"No I think this will be just fine. I am just enjoying the prospect of going out for the evening. Anywhere in particular you want to go?" He quirked a brow as he looked her over.

Janelle smirked as he said in the long run, "Oh something about my friendship that will benefit you in the longer run? What is going through your head?" She smirked as she finished smoothing out her skirt as she scooped up the money from the table. She always enjoyed the fact he tipped well, she supposed she could make it up to him somehow. "Good, cause I might be able to make it worth your while." Janelle smirked as she walked backwards a few steps. "Hmm I want to go out. I wouldn't mind going dancing but I doubt you would want to do that."

Janelle turned around and walked, she made sure to accentuate the walk in a way that would make her bottom attractive and definitely had a good swagger to it. She looked over her shoulder. "I will be five minutes." She headed behind the counter cashed in her tips from the day. She dropped money in the till before putting away the dishes she had said she would. Looking over at the other girls she smiled sweetly and the manager nodded her head. "Thank you," she said as she rushed to the back and picked up her things pulling on her sweater and stripping off the apron, at least her skirt was nice.

Walking back out she headed over to Cassius. "So you ready to go?" She asked ruffling her hair before adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder.

"What's going through my head is completely for me to know and for you to be privileged to later down the road," he said brushing his hands to hers before she took the money from the table. Cassius was never the type to just skimp on a payment because he knew someone. In fact he was likely to pay more based off their friendship than anything else. "As you should," he chuckled watching her walk into the back.

There was one thing you could say about Nelle, she had legs that went on for days. They were long, lean, and lovely. He enjoyed looking at them, but he wasn't about to inform her of that. He knew she was sashaying for his benefit, Cassius was a great many things but a fool was not one of them.

"Ready," he said fixing his tie as he grabbed his coat and headed for the door. Opening it, Cassius allowed her to exit first before following suit. Once out in the cool air, he allowed himself a couple deep breathes. "So what is this about dancing? Do I seem like the type to be light on my feet."

"If you are hoping I will beg for that knowledge you won't get it," Nelle laughed a little but it faded as his hand had touched her as she picked up the money. She hated that when there were only slight touches it always sent this feeling through her, she hated that it did. Janelle couldn't allow her to fall for Cassius as she knew it couldn't get her anywhere.

As Janelle walked towards him she smirked as he got up and she stepped out the door with him not fair behind. She looked around Diagon Alley and it appeared like the crowds weren't as busy at this time of year as usual. She turned to look at Cassius and smirked. "No, but I want to taking you dancing all the same, though we could go elsewhere and do other things." Janelle said as she walked close by his side.

"You know I would love nothing more than to hear you beg darling," Cassius was anything if not a flirt. He enjoyed to play about with the females very much and even more enjoyed their company at the flat he kept in Diagon Alley. Why bring a crazy bird to your estate when you could just show them your flat instead. It was fully paid for anyway.

He could be a gentleman if he wanted, how often he wanted to be one was the question. It wasn't often, he could be downright cruel when he wanted to be. It was his darker side, the side he showed those he found inferior or infuriating. Either way, it was not a pleasant sight. "Take me dancing, that seems more like punishment than pleasurable at any rate."

"I am sure you would," Janelle rolled her eyes at him Cassius was such the flirt. Janelle had to admit that she did like the flirtation though. Janelle was a sucker for a guy that could flirt and Cassius definitely could, but she was far to proud to let him know he got under her skin.

"I will be sure to make dancing a pleasurable experience." Janelle said with a smirk. She had over heard that there was this dance club kind of hidden away in an area of London. It of course was a wizarding world establishment but only those who knew about it could get there. Word of mouth was its form of advertising. "If you don't want to go though we can do something else," she said with a sigh.
