Aria walked into the living room, writing down on her notepad. She was going over what she needed from her garden, she needed a few more flowers to bring over there. Thankfully it wasn't much. The only thing she really needed was her signature wrapping paper for the store. She was running out due to how many people came in the store day to day. She was going to ask her Dad for help with that. He had done it for her before and it was her turn. She just forgot how to go with it. Aria wanted it to stay exactly the same and she knew that was hard for some people. Thankfully she had just enough to show the designer.
Once she finished writing the stuff down, she placed the notepad and pen on the table. She brushed her hair out of her face with her fingers. Today was a hot day and she was feeling it a little. Thankfully she was wearing a simple, loose, white dress that kept most of it off of her.
Aria sighed and laid on the couch and looked at the ceiling. Not only was it a hot day, but it was a boring one too. She wondered if her Dad's friend, John Diverio was here again. She hadn't met the guy yet, but she didn't mind. The visits were probably more business than fun, so she stayed out of the way. She even hid from them when she heard them coming. She hated interrupting her Dad when company was over. Plus sometimes she didn't want to speak, so she'd become stealthy to make sure she was never seen..
Charlotte would make fun of her when she would see her. It became an inside joke with them to always find ways to escape any company that was over. The thought of this made Aria giggle at all the fun the two shared.

John was just busy talking to Korso about business and, well... Buisness! It was just boring, well to everyone else. But John was busy talking about how his job was being and what other things Korso was planning, which were usually vague and barely thought out, typical. John thought, because as cocky as Korso was; he honestly couldn't run this place for the long run, that was the sweetest way he'd try to describe Korso's reign. But as they were conversing, Korso went elsewhere; for whatever reason but John didn't care, he was pretty glad. Atleast he's gone. He chuckled, fixing his shirt and entered the room Aria was coincidentally in, "Hello."

"Hello."
The male's voice came out of nowhere, causing Aria to look away from the ceiling and to John. And once she saw that the male was indeed in the room, she sat up. She stared at him with her big green eyes as she tried to figure out who this man. He didn't look like any of her father's men. That's when it clicked, it was John Diverio himself. This made her panic slightly inside, she really didn't want to meet the guy yet.
"Well, can't escape now.." She thought.
"Hello, you must Mr. Diverio." Aria said before she stretched a little and got up. "You're my Dad's friend correct? Nice to meet you, I'm Aria." She said as she stretched her hand out for him to shake. Though she was hoping he wasn't going to be one of those people who liked to kiss the hand... She didn't like it when others did it. The only person that was pretty much allowed to do it was Dante.

John smirked, he took his tux off and put it on the sofa as he did; he rested himself on the sofa. Looking at her with a meek smile, "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Aria." John sighed, taking out a cigarette and giving it a light puff after lighting it of course. "And yes I am," he looked around the room with his eyes, and looked back at her, "how've you been doing?" He kept the conversation bland for now, since worse was yet to come for her. But as she put her hand out, which he didn't fully notice, maybe because Korso bored him to death, he smiled and shook her hand keeping a faint smile on his face, he needed to keep the fake act up, somehow? Oh well, his job required him to 'control himself' around clients, so he kept the sweet - ish tone, which nearly made John internally vomit.

Aria smiled when he introduced himself back to her and shook her hand. She then watched him go back to the sofa to sit down. This made her frown a little, normally men would stay up until she sat down. But she quickly pushed off the thought and turned around and sat on the other side of the sofa. When she sat down she made sure her dress didn't lift up. She was already missing the room she just had on the couch. She even missed that she didn't have to be a lady for once..
"Why did I wear a dress again? I could be relaxing instead of being ladylike." Aria thought to herself before she heard John ask her how she was doing.
"I've been doing well considering how hot it is today." She replied as she looked back at John. And right as she did she caught the scent of his cigarette, causing her to internally gag a bit. Thankfully she was used to it due to her father smoking cigarettes and cigars, but it didn't mean she liked the smell.. Oh god she hated it. She would have to endure it though, so she made sure not to show any disgust in her face.
"And what about you? Was your visit with my Dad okay? Or was it boring business stuff once more?" Aria asked a she tried to start small talk.

John wasn't in the mood for manners, because out of all things he might as well try to annoy anyone or anything with Korso. So if she didn't like him smoking, her problem. Oh the crazy manner codes. He didn't need that after fakery; talking to man he hated, but John shrugged that thought off his shoulder. John nodded, it was indeed warm, but he has had worse in his original home; where he lived before Gatsberry. John chuckled slightly at her last question, "Just some typical chat on how our Job's are doing, nothing to interesting." John sighed and the utter boredom he was feeling showed on his face, it was hot outside and the chat's were diplomatic and dull, he already had annoying clients that sucked the life outa him! He just needed a break from formalities. "Say, did you have anything interesting going on?" He gave a coy smile at her direction, mostly out of mere amusement. Weren't people around her age having flings? Talking to people they 'shouldn't'? John smirked, sighing content.

Aria only nodded when John answered her question. "God this small talk is boring..." She thought to herself as she leaned more against the couch, getting a bit more comfy. It was too hot to be really worrying too much about being ladylike. Thankfully she still kept that look to her, so she didn't have to worry too much. Though by the look on John's face, he couldn't care less about how she looked. He looked quite bored, which made her frown a little.
But then he asked her if she had anything interesting going on, causing her to look up and think. "Uh, not really. Today has been a pretty boring and lonely day as well. You'd think a girl my age would be out there having fun, but not me. Dad won't let me go anywhere without bodyguards, so I would rather be here than out there with guards." She admitted before looking back at John.
"May I ask what you do for a job?" She suddenly asked as she continued to try to keep this conversation going. Maybe they'd get somewhere. But she had no idea if they would. She was starting to wonder if her father's friends were just as boring as he was at times.

John giggled, he could just see her desperately making the very lackluster conversation going on, John smirked for a quick second and stroked his chin slightly, "I could help you get out without him knowing, if you're up for such a thing." He gave a partially mischievous grin, how adorable! That little thing is such an amusing scrote! His mind thought, and as for his job John shrugged, well that was one boring thing to say. Didn't she ever overhear mine and Korso's conversations ever? Oh well, she doesn't want to get bored and she's boring herself, how ironic. "Lawyer for the best of the best." He remembered when he had to help one of Korso's officers with someone who was accusing them for a million things. John had some pity for the male who had to go to jail, because John greed with the other man on most things. Oh well, he couldn't show his hatred for Korso, if he did; of to jail and possibly death. Now no one wanted such a thing.

Aria's eyes seemed to sparkle just a tad when John offered to sneak her out of the house. "If you can get away with it, then I am all up for it." Aria said as she imagined how she could be at her favorite cafe right about now. The only reason she hadn't gone out, was because guards. Guards, guards, guards keeping watch on her. She hated that. It made her frown as she thought about it. She then looked back at John when he told her his job.
This made her nod. "So that's why you're around my Dad a lot. You are giving him advice, good to know. Shame that it sees to always be business." Aria said as she looked down at her dress and brushed off a little bit of dirt she spotted. She then looked back at John and rested her arm on the arm of the couch before resting her chin on her hand.
She was actually getting tired of the small talk. "Allow me to be frank, Mr. Diverio, I hate small talk." Aria suddenly admitted to him with a bored expression on her face. "Do you know of a way to make this conversation a little bit more exciting?" Aria asked as she was starting to become tired of being a lady. If her Dad could see her now, he'd be smacking her wrist, telling her that she shouldn't talk like that.
But as of right now, she didn't care. It was hot and boring.

John smirked, the guard were just idiots. Besides he highly doubted any of them liked working for Korso. He smirked a bit more, the only time their job possibly had perks were if a pretty lady came for a visit, to state the obvious. "Alright, just slyly throw money at their feet and walk away as they run for it and they won't notice you gone and as for your way back, just hide behind a few things, and you'll find a door, open it and, well, you're at the house and just say if Korso questions, than say; that you were taking a stroll. He highly doubted she had better ideas, but of course this advice she had to be careful with since if she was gone for two long and if Korso had scanned most of the house beforehand, not seeing her; than conflict. Secretly; John didn't care and questioned why he even gave a route or way out, oh yeah. Keep up the sweet attitude!
John chuckled, buisness to a degree. He was also the guy who talked about Korso plans for Gatsberry, and he did make mental notes on how to secretly make them an utter disappointment or just a disaster! It reminded him of the time Korso wanted to make a park, John had just persuaded someone to claim that the parks, director; in charge of the construction and layout, was actually having an affair. Oh lord that was a classic! And the park had to be put on halt, and due to 'corruption' and gangs it had to be scrapped, he smiled; remembering that scene. "Sadly but Korso, just doesn't like fun I guess." He still had the thought in his head. It was fun after all.
And at the female talking about the boring talk, John nodded but a sudden smirk built up than a grin as he walked out, than came in with a bag, just as he opened it, he took out a whip, as in the sexual kind. "Well, anyone you fancy?" He said with sly flirtatiousness in his voice as a joke and took out a few other 'toys' and looked back at her amused, was this interesting enough?

Aria couldn't help roll her eyes when John told her how she could run away. "Sadly my guards don't work like that.. They'd just look at me and drag me to my father, telling him I tried to bribe them." She said as she continued to frown at how horrible that plan sounded to her. It may work for him, but it would never work for her. She sighed before she closed her eyes and felt the heat rising just a little. Was the day going to ever cool down? She would kill for a breeze to come for the windows. Maybe she should call for some fans and someone to pick ice? That would help the heat in here.
"My dad really isn't into fun. The moment my sister and I grew up, he started to become more about his business and started protecting us more." Aria replied as she opened her eyes to look back at John. "He used to be fun, but now he is just boring." Aria admitted as she thought of how alone she felt in this house while her Dad did nothing but jobs.. She wasn't going to see him until Dinner time. Aria wondered if she could get her Dad to joke around tonight, spice the night up a little? She doubted it, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
Aria suddenly groaned when she felt the temperature rising just a little. And she was about to get up to order someone to bring fans and a block of ice in when John suddenly left the room. She watched him in confusion before he came back in, placed the bag on the table and took out a whip. This caused her eyes to shoot wide open as her right leg lifted up while her arms raised a bit too. She froze in that surprised stance as she watched him take out more toys and asked her if she fancied anyone.
"What has that got to do with what you just brought into my house!?" Aria asked with a bit of a raised voice.

John shrugged, he highly doubted she had anything better to say, "Than just befriend a guard who may just try to help you get out, or something." He shrugged not being sure but he definetely gave himself some bonus point for being a good actor for the most part. And how he seemed like he didn't despise the family to breaking bits.
John gave a sad sigh and nodded, "Maybe ruling Gatsberry has gone in his head and that's his focus." By that he meant making the place a confusing and corrupted place, but he couldn't say that. But that begged the question; how would he make the place any better than Korso? He was technically more twisted.
And at her sudden shock, especially in the line off; 'What has that got to do with what you just brought into my house?!' He swore his little sympathy for the girl just diminished after every freaking word, just how boring could she get? Korso has a talent for bringing mundane offsprings, that's all I know, his mind thought annoyed. "Something the matter?"

"Something the matter?"
"Um, yes something is the matter. There are sexual toys on my table. I am trying to figure out why sexual toys have to do with the person I fancy? I am not going to sleep with any time soon. I don't even know if we'll work out." Aria suddenly said as she felt her cheeks growing a bit red at what she saw on the table. She was really starting to wonder what John did in his free time. What was he doing behind closed doors.
"I am starting to wonder what type of man you are, Mr. Diverio." She said as she finally looked back at his blue eyes as she kept herself on the couch. She didn't really wanna get up and accidentally touch one of his "toys". It already made her embarrassed seeing such things. After all she was a virgin and had never once kissed a boy at that. Plus she wasn't exactly allowed to date until her Dad told her she could since she was twenty now.
But she wasn't really jumping on that with Dante. She wanted to take her time. So seeing sexual things in front of her all of sudden really made her very nervous.

John chuckled, the poor thing didn't even know half of it! Of his 'tastes' and it would've been more amusing if he also said that he was bisexual; Korso would've killed him on the spot! How amusing Aria Marcello~ his mind said jokingly, and he just tried maintaining his laughter together. "We all need some relaxation, don't we? Besides didn't you want a 'less boring' conversation?" If she wanted 'interesting' he gave it alright! As she said, 'I am starting to wonder what type of man you are Mr. Diveriõ." John chuckled, amused at the seemingly innocent lady. Oh she didn't even know half of it, "Just one who works hard and 'plays - hard'~" he said teasingly at her, with a smirk.

"I did, but I had no idea this is what type of conversation you would bring up." Aria said as her eyes were not leaving the toys. But she finally ripped them away when he told her he was a work and play hard type of guy. This immediately started to make her a bit uneasy and she could feel herself lifting her body off her couch. She stood on her feet and looked at him and felt a cold chill go down her spine the way he smirked at her. Normally she'd probably swoon over such a smirk. But after what he just presented her, she didn't feel like swooning..
In fact she felt a bit insulted and violated. This was mostly because she was virgin and never once saw sex toys in front of her. She knew of them due to her sister, Charlotte explaining them to her. But she always refused to let Charlotte show her. She wanted to keep her innocence.
So the fact that John had did this without her consent really did not sit right with her. She was going to have to tell her Dad about this. "I'm sorry Mr. Diverio but I am really not okay with what you've just shown me. I am also sure my Father wouldn't approve of this either.. So I am sorry, but I'm going to have to inform him of this... This is just way out of line." Aria said as she turned to walk away from him.
