I'm alive, a revolution lies inside

Edna said: Ray chuckled. "In my experience woman can be the scariest and most charming so I don't find that surprising. I doubt those kids will listen to me though. I remember when I was their age. Thought I was unstoppable, uncatchable, indestructible, all that. I was lucky though I learned that I wasn't any of those things and all it cost me was some bruises and broken bones. Those kids. I tried it without injury but if they don't learn now they'll get killed by someone with a much worse temper then me." He shook his head sadly. The little girl was the worst off. She could probably find something work wise or someone to adopt her being as small and cute as she is. Those boys would probably get her killed like they could have been tonight. "But Chicago has some of the best food you'll find anywhere. But it's right up there with the most dangerous city's in the world to so if you ever go make sure to pack your own heat. Better safe then sorry am I right?" "Nice little nickname, private Eyelash very clever. Not sure how much work you'll get in this town considering the kind of people that are here for the most part. I mean Korso's the big man in this town and he didn't get their being a good guy. And I guess it's a good thing I never wanted to be a private eye. I got caught nicking food back when I was a kid. Charged and everything." He laughed as he took a sip of his drink. She smiled wickedly. "You gotta be both in my line of work. And know when to get out fast and shoot or when to try to seduce your way out. Either way I'm covered" she patted just above her dress line and winked at him. "I always carry some protection. Comes with pat of the job. Never leave home without my little peashooter, I can assure you" She laughed. "I work for whoever pays me. And I round up whoever doesn't conform to the law of the land. I get pretty good business from both sides I assure you" she smirked at his comment and took a sip of her own drink. This was shaping up to be interesting.

Post by Aurora Lêvæ on Jun 23, 2017 21:38:31 GMT -6
Aurora smiled but gave out a sigh, she was just trying to make the girl feel better, their was a clear misunderstanding since Aurora was her fathers entertainer or just dancer, flirting was part of her job like dancing was and she genuinely flirted, besides Korso was talking about hooking her up with some gentlemen. Safe to say, they weren't serious, besides younger women were more desirable than older ones in the buisness. I'll just tell her, since she's seemingly getting the wrong impression. "Because -" but before she could even give a legitimate response, the girl just went to the other side of the room with Dante. Aurora wasn't mad but partially irritated since why ask a question, when you won't let the recipient answer? Aurora sighed, shaking her head. And walked up to the female, "Miss Marcello, I'll explain something, I don't want your dad if that's something you wanted to know and it's genuine human programming to help someone who's in pain, unless if you suffer from phycopothy, sociopathy or just don't care." Aurora sighed, folding her arms, but than smiled warmly at the girl. Dante never got a chance to answer Aria's question before Korso's entertainer came up to them. He was surprised at the blonde's boldness the familiarity she felt she had with Aria, enough to touch her forehead. Aria pulled him away before any conversation could be started and she once more asked her question about him liking martinis. He smiled and was ready to answer when Ms. Lêvæ appeared once more with them. The woman seemed determined to talk with Aria and to show she cared. Dante cleared his throat a little."Um, good evening?" he said, feeling unsure of how he could even step into what was happening. He honestly just wanted a moment with Aria, but didn't have the heart to be rude when it was clear Aurora wanted to prove she had no ill intentions. "Feeling like I might not get to answer this if something more is said, but yes, I happen to like martinis, prefer scotch, but I'm not too picky," he said with a grin as he looked at Aria before sipping on his glass. ------------ The moment the woman interrupted them again, Aria could feel herself freeze a little. What in the world did this woman want? Aria listened to her. Her eyebrow raised when she was told that she didn't want her father. Then why flirt with him? Aria thought to herself as she took another sip of her Martini, letting the woman finish. Aria then ate one little olive before she lowered the glass. And once the woman was done talking, Dante spoke up, answering her question. This made her smile a little. "You're turning into my father," Aria joked with him, teasing him slightly before turning to the blonde haired woman. "I do appreciate your concern, Miss. But, I really do not like it when women like you flirt with my father in front of me. I really do not care with the business you want with my father, nor do I really care. And to be fairly honest, I want to be alone with my friend right now. He and I," Aria hesitated as she was trying to figure out how to get this girl away.. "He and I are on a date right now, so I would appreicate it if you can let us be," Aria stated before taking another sip of her drink. But right when she realized what she said, her cheeks turned a bit red.. Dammit, Aria thought to herself. Aurora chuckled at Dante, hadn't he seen her defore, entertaining Korso? Oh well, she chuckled at him or rather at him being unsure, "Nice to see ya' Dante~" she said sweetly. And at Aria, the clear fact that Korso never told his daughter that Aurora was a private dancer; which he would usually hire. She sighed, loosing some hope for the man, Aria was old enough to know about her and what her dad seemingly like if he felt 'lonely' or in the need to feel 'young' again, but she just waited for Aria to finish speaking. "I see your father never told you about me, I don't want to be some new 'Marcello', I work as a private dancer and flirting helps with getting money, plus, younger women get more money in the business." She gave an amused smirk, she was sure Aria meant ' friendly - chat's ' or something like that. "Naww~ I apologize, I just thought I had to elaborate a few crucial details. Well, have a lovely 'date'~" she said flirtatiously, giving a teasing wink and walked back to the party scene and started to dance.

{OOC: Um, I never wrote that Dante was flustered, I wrote he was unsure on how to step in the conversation.}
"He and I are on a date right now..."
Dante choked a little on his drink, but quickly cleared his throat. "Wrong pipe," he chuckled a little as he put a hand on Aria's waist line. "And yes, Ms. Lêvæ, if you could be so kind..." he trailed off when he saw two of Korso's men walk over to him.
Letting his hand drop from her waist, he turned to them, once they reached him. "The Don wants to talk to you," one of them whispered in a low voice to where only him and Aria could hear it because Aurora was further away from the couple. "He will meet you in the office on the top floor. He wants you there waiting for him."
Dante held back a sigh. "I'm sorry, but duty calls," he said before bringing Aria's hand up to his lips and leaving a kiss on the back of her hand. "I'll just have to take a rain check on our date," he said in a whisper as he smirked at her and gave her a wink. "Enjoy the rest of your evening, all right?" he said before giving his farewells to Aria and Aurora.
Walking with the men, Dante headed up to the office to wait for Korso.

Eddie said: Ray smirked. They eyelash was cute. If she was as savvy as she wanted him to think he might be able to make use of her for the boss. An extra pair of eyes is always helpful and most don't think woman were capable of this kind of work but when Ray was a kid he saw plenty of woman, even the professional girls lead men around by the nose and most men for some ridiculous reason thought they were in charge. Ray knew better. Woman had more power then even they realized. Well some woman knew but not all. Eyelash had a better idea then some.
"Can I get your card? Don't know if I'll need your services but it never hurts to have the info. You talk a good game. I'd like to see you work sometime." Ray looked around the room for a moment watching all the people as they moved around the room.
That's when he saw the man that helped the mob princess and had been dancing with her just a moment ago leave her and go up toward where her father had gone earlier.
"Eddie I'm sorry about this but there's someone I need to speak to. I'll definitely keep you in mind if I find myself in need of a private eyelash." He told her with a grin.
Ray walked over to the now lone girl. She still looked beautiful even though her eyes seemed a little redder then before. "Hey Princess sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation earlier." He took her hand gently. "You think we can finish our dance from earlier?" He questioned her politely. He stole her away before he figured this time he'd give her more of a choice... sort of. He put his and on her waist and began to move them around slowly. If she really wanted to she could leave his arms. "I saw your fall before ," He looked at her concerned. "You ok?" There was something about the way she moved compared to before that made her seem almost like a cornered animal, he'd seen similar when he was a kid on the streets. He really hoped he hadn't scared her when he'd gone after those two punks. He didn't want her to fear him. Which was strange. Usually he wanted everyone to be afraid of him.

Aria was listening to the blonde haired woman when she started to speak, but before she could fully hear her, her father's men came to Dante. Aria's attention was ripped away from the woman to pay attention to what was going on with Dante. And because of this, she didn't hear that she was a private dancer that worked for her father. Which was probably a blessing to the woman.
Aria frowned when she heard that Dante had to leave. She really wanted to tell her father's men to beat it and that her father could wait. But that was something she couldn't do. Her attention went to Dante as he talked to her, grabbed her hand and kissed it. Normally she would've taken her hand away from him, but she didn't. That was because it was Dante who was doing it. She had a soft spot for him right now, and he had gained her trust. Because of this she did not pull away. In fact, she felt a bit of butterflies when she felt his lips on her skin..
"As long as you do as well, Dante," Aria said softly, giving him a soft smile before she watched him to walk off. She made sure he was safe before she went to look at the blonde haired woman. But to her surprise, she was gone, so Aria didn't have time to ask her what she was saying. Though, Aria was pretty okay with that.
But before she could leave the floor, she heard a voice and a hand grabbed hers.
"Hey Princess sorry we didn't get to finish our conversation earlier."
Aria turned to look at the man. Her emerald eyes widened a little as she felt herself blush once more as she looked at him. It was the man she had been watching at the cafe. She looked him over to see he was fully clean from what had happened earlier. A small smile formed on her lips as he asked if they could finish their dance. "Well, I would say no since you interrupted a dance from earlier.. But seeing as our dance did get interrupted.. I must say yes,"" Aria said, joking just a little as he pulled her to him and wrapped his hand onto her waist.
Already she could feel the butterflies he had given her earlier well up inside of her. After all, he did ask her why she had been watching him for three weeks. And this reminder caused her to blush slightly. So with this reminder she looked away from him shyly.
"I saw your fall before, you ok?"
Aria felt herself freeze a little before looking back up at him. "I-I'm fine, just embarrassed is all," Aria said as she gave him a small smile.

She didn't like being contradicted. And being pulled back by Dean was a big contradiction to her point, as it was his new found rebel. He wasn't very intimidating, at least not to her. And she was sure the bigger man wasn't very impressed either. Dean had a very calm aura around him, usually. Not at that moment, but you could still see he wasn't the type of person to start fights for no apparent reason. Yet, there he was provoking this man once again.
Evelyn tried to launch herself towards the older man, but Dean's arm stopped her and she was slightly more annoyed by that. How dared he laugh in her face? Sometimes she regretted letting go of her heritage because everyone seemed to at least respect mobster men. She just lacked the correct set of genitalia. "I'm sure all the ladies have bigger balls than you, isn't that what gets ya goin'?"
The man's reaction to Dean's words was different. No fun in that, apparently. Her idiot date had hit a soft spot. Then, as his rival retorted back, she followed the direction of his gaze to the woman they'd been arguing about. She didn't know her nor had she seen her before, and she was sure she'd remember seeing someone with such a significant presence in a room. It still annoyed her that men had to see that kind of powerful thing as a reason to act up and show their, truly, nonexistent dominance. She hoped the girl wasn't paying any attention to this idiocy. But she noticed someone who definitely was. A small group of guards and their not so subtle way of moving closer to the bar indicated it was time to go. And the librarian would love to be the sort of person who would say "Oh let if go, Dean." but there was no way, not even if Hell froze over.

Dean was up close and personal with the larger man now, his hands deep into his pants' pockets as he eyed and sized the guy up, now incredibly serious. He usually knew he could take things lightly and act as if there was not a single concern in the world, but at that moment, things had transcended the limits of what was reasonable and acceptable, at least for him. He had severe problems with people disrespecting people he knew and had concerns for. Chel was but a young girl, and he was visibly annoyed at how degraded she was being by the man's tone. As for Evelyn, he knew she was more than able to take care of herself, but he was not enjoying the way the taller man was choosing to approach her. His librarian friend would probably be quite upset at him, but at this stage, he knew that he'd be more than willing in helping her knock some sense into this prick.
His head tilting back as the man ran his mouth, he noticed his fists clenching and the frustration being masked behind a fake smile of confidence. The guy was deliberately looking for trouble and Dean had been chosen to perpetuate such a need for blood and violence. Shaking his head, he knew he could not get away from this, so he took a deep sigh, as if apologizing to Evelyn in advance. "You know, big guy...I don't think I know how to keep my mouth shut." he admitted with a shrug, scratching the back of his neck and sending a sly grin towards him. "Guess we have that in common."
He could notice the guards approaching them, which made him feel slightly uneasy. He knew he could not afford to be kicked out or get this much exposure. Bad for him and what he wanted. Not to mention it could get Evelyn into serious trouble and she did not deserve to pay for Dean's extremely big mouth. "Looks like someone's causing a domestic disturbance." he admitted with a slow shrug. "Wanna talk outside like a big boy?" he asked with a smile, shrugging at him. "Unless you really feel shy..."

Charlotte continued singing. She looked down at the dance floor and saw Aria dancing with Dante. They liked to think that she didn't notice the looks between them but she wouldn't say anything. As long as Aria was happy. Then she blinked and there was another man dancing with her sister. He was handsome in a darker slightly rough way. Charlotte raised her brow. The way Aria was blushing it looks like she might have two suitors and she might like them both. Oh that was just so cute.
Aria said:
Ray smiled down at her. "Well we all fall sometime. It's getting back up that's the important thing and you did that very gracefully." He told her with a smirk. His hand on her sided shifted down slightly to skim the swell of her rear teasingly.
"Now I didn't get to hear your answer before. Doesn't the owner of that successful little flower shop have better things to do then watch a random man in a coffee shop?" He dipped her and cupped her rear lightly before lifting her back up and moving her hand back to her waist. Didn't want Daddy to see his little baby girl getting groped after all.

When Ray spoke to her, giving her a bit of advice, she felt more of the butterflies well up. And when he smirked down at her, she felt a little bit of a chill go down her spine. Her emerald eyes checked out his dark eyes before looking at how his lips curved with his smirk. He was very handsome, and he was tall. Aria would even say he was taller than Dante. What was with her and tall men? And just like before, she could feel his muscles. What type of job did this man do? Aria had an idea maybe it was another mafia gang, but that was impossible. Her father told them that he was the only one.. Maybe this was the chance to ask him?
Aria continued to dance with him and when she felt his hand skim her butt, she froze a little. Her blush got a tad bit redder and she looked at him in a little bit of surprise. Of course, her mind went to how John had groped her, but she couldn't push this man away. Something about him paralyzed her. She had no idea what it was, but her body screamed at her to not go anywhere.
And then he asked her the same question earlier, causing those red cheeks to turn brighter red. Oh no," Aria thought to herself as she knew she needed to answer it now. But before she could, he dipped her down and cupped her butt, this made her gasp. More butterflies showed up in her stomach and she instantly felt another chill go down her spine. He then lifted her back up and removed his hand from her rear before anyone could see it..
"Well uh, you see, I..-Wait, you haven't told me your name, sir," Aria said as she changed the subject real fast, "Why should I answer when I don't even know your name?" Aria asked with a little mischievous smirk.

Aria said:
Ray chuckled as they continued to dance. That little gasp she made was very cute. He would really like to hear that again. His thumb on her hip making small circles. He leaned in his smirk widened as he got to her ear and began to whisper. "I'll bet even if I told you my name you'd avoid telling me why you've been in that café staring at me."
He leaned back out and spun her around before bringing her back even closer to his body, holding her just a little tighter. "How about a deal princess? Next time you come into that café I'll tell you my name and you tell me why you've been coming in so much more then would be normal for someone in your position." His hand now rested snuggly on her lower back still touching just the top of her rear.

Aria frowned a little when he got onto her little trick. Normally everyone would fall for it. Apparently this man was not everyone. She went to say something, but he spun her around and brought her closer to him. This made her gasp again as she felt him against her. Her small breasts rubbed against his chest that felt very muscular. She could just imagine what he looked like underneath his suit. Though she quickly shook that out of her head. She didn't need to think of things like that. So she looked away from him a little and listened to his deal. All while she gently twitched against him making circles with his finger on her hip.
"If I may ask, what makes you think I'll go back now?" Aria said a she tried to be mischievous now. Though she was really struggling with it. How was this man making her feel weak in the knees. She had always felt butterflies when she saw him at the cafe, but she didn't think he would do this to her. And the fact she didn't mind the touching he made, made it even more weird. Normally she would've slapped him, make a scene and have him kicked out.. But that wasn't happening.
She stayed there and continued to dance with him. "Also, it is very rude that you don't know my name while I don't know yours," Aria said as she continued to be mischievous with her blushing cheeks. Though she tried to hide it by smirking a little at him. But the smirk seemed to falter a little when she felt him touching the top of her rear.

((OOC: This is after her and Dimitri have sex. It has been a good couple of minutes since they left.))
Nikki walked back into the party scene. Her dress and makeup had been fixed and she showed no evidence of the scene she just had. She smirked as she watched others dance, drink, and argue. There were two men who seemed to be getting into each other's faces. This made her frown and roll her eyes. Show some class, guys, you're in public," She thought to herself before she away from the scene. If she would stay there any longer, she would kick both of their asses. As this was just a fight to see whose dick was bigger. Plus she knew once Korso saw this, he'd punish them harder than she would. So it was okay to walk away for once.
She looked forward to see Korso walking towards her. A smirk formed on her lip before she gently brushed past him. But before he could move passed her, she slip one of her fingers through his belt loop. "Whoa there bub, the night is still young. Shouldn't you be mingling with your guests instead of running up there?" Nikki asked as she watched the man turn to her in shock. Her grey staring at him with a mischievous smirk.
"Plus, this guest of yours would like a drink with you. Are you going to deny your guest's wishes?" Nikki said as she placed her hand on her hip and gave a little pose.

Ray smirked down at her as they continued to dance. He loved watching her face change with every thought that seemed to pass. The little frown, the surprised gasp, the embarrassed blush. Unlike most in her position Aria was exactly what she seemed, pure, she was sweet, a little naïve, smart and it seemed as if her fathers world and life hadn't hardened her at all or at least not in the way it would most. When he looked into her large crystal clear green eyes he could see that gentleness, oh he was sure she could fight if she had to but there was a softness to her spirit that Ray hadn't seen in, well, ever. Even Aria's sister had a hardness to her eyes though she hid it well.
Ray's fingers continued to tease her sides gently but his hands did not wander again. Aria was a lady and while she let him get away with it this time he figured better to not push his luck.
He grinned as he bent down toward her again though not as close this time. "First of all Princess I've known who you are since the second time I saw you in the café Miss Marcello." He told her as he spun her again, this time pulling her back against his chest. His hand now gently on her stomach, but he made sure not to press her back tightly against him. Her nasty fall from earlier might still be bothering her after all. "And I'll tell you exactly why you'll come back to the café, Sweet Princess. You'll come back because you want to know my name. You almost never in your whole life been denied anything. My name your going to have to give to get. And since I know your name you'll have to give me an answer to my question." He brushed his lips against her neck and shoulder teasingly. "And I'm very good at knowing when people are lying to me so come prepared to tell me the truth and not something you just made up." He continued to sway to the music with the dark haired beauty.
He brushed her hair away from her face taking in her scent. He did like that she kept her hair long. Most woman nowadays cut it so short but he loved running his fingers though a woman's hair and Aria's would be wonderful for something like that.

((OOC: This is after her and Dimitri have sex. It has been a good couple of minutes since they left.)) "Whoa there bub, the night is still young. Shouldn't you be mingling with your guests instead of running up there?" Nikki asked as she watched the man turn to her in shock. Her grey staring at him with a mischievous smirk. "Plus, this guest of yours would like a drink with you. Are you going to deny your guest's wishes?" Nikki said as she placed her friend hand on her hip and gave a little pose. Korso was marching up the stairs towards his office to have his meeting with Dante, but then he felt someone's finger pull on his belt look as if it was pulling a trigger. Then her voice broke through the noise of the party and took him by surprise. Like a back alley hold up, Korso stood quietly at her attention. The blonde hair made him believe it was Aurora at first, but her grey eyes were nothing like he'd seen before. As beautiful as she was, nothing ever detered the Don from his business. "Sorry, doll, I'm a lil' busy. If yer with the press, I'll be speakin' after the party," said Korso, trying to give the vibe that he didn't want to be disturbed. Then she asked about the drink. He paused and shook his head, ready to deny her wish, but once more those eyes tugged at his will. Her figure was nice, and her body language gave him all sorts of signals. He had to admit, she was pretty daring to be asking him for a drink, but it impressed him at how well she was mantaining her composure when talking to someone like himself. There had to be a catch though; what exactly was she trying to get from him? That's how it always was after all. Everybody always wants something when it comes to the Don. "Let's cut to the chase sweet cheeks: who are ya and what ya after?" asked Korso, raising an eyebrow.

Nikki smirked when she saw the look on Korso's face. He was obviously not use to someone doing this to him. It also appeared that he half expected her to be someone else. And when he told her he had business, she only gave him a little look. A look that told him he wasn't going to go anywhere. Especially when she kept her finger right through his belt hoop. She tilted her head a little at him before her eyebrow raised at his question. Who was she? And what was she after? This made her laugh a little as she looked away from him.
"Does everyone need to be after something to get a drink with you? I'm after nothing, Bub. I only want a drink with the person in charge of this," Nikki said as she pointed to the golden party. "This has impressed me, Korso. I knew you were powerful, but not this powerful. And is it so bad that I just want a drink with the man I wanted to meet tonight? Cause if so, you just loss lots of respect from me," She said as she let go of his belt loop. She gave him one look. A small, seductive look. As if begging him to just take her offer.
But the look didn't last, cause she started to turn and walk away. Her hips swaying left and right as she did. Of course she knew there was a fifty/fifty chance of him following after her. But she was hoping he was man she thought he was. After all, Nikki had admired him from the beginning of his reign. She loved how he demanded respect and attention. And when people insulted him or his family, they were gone. Of course she didn't like the fact he took some parents from their children, but as long as she didn't think that, she had respect for him.
Though Nikki wondered if she was going to still have respect for him.
