Without Love ::: Leila, Jyo

For some reason the place felt louder than usual, there was an energy here she could almost touch, but she couldn't figure out what it was. People seemed to be extra lovey, throwing themselves at each other like they had never seen the opposite sex before. Maybe it was a bad idea to have this drink after all, but then again she needed it or else she would explode. It was a bit sad, her coping mechanism, but there wasn't much she wanted to do about it at the time. When the drink finally got to her, she felt that she was being watch by someone. While it wasn't strange since she was in a night club, it felt like more than just the wandering gaze, like they were staring at her for a reason.

Looking around, she was startled a bit when he spoke, but it quickly faded away. By some minor details, she figured that this might be the guy, who only confirmed that when he spoke. A smirk threatened to overwhelm her lips as she stood up, holding out a hand to him. "Of course, I would love to dance." she said, loud enough for it to be heard over the music. No one said the guy that was coming to take her cash was going to handsome, though she figured they didn't say other either. What was happening to her today? It felt like every guy she laid eyes on could be the one she was looking for, until she saw him. Immediately there was some sort of tiny spark in side of her, fixating on him.

Following him to the floor, she only nodded as he spoke, waiting until he was finished. "You never know when things are going to go bad. But I am used to this sort of deal. I've been around the block." she said, a playful grin following that statement. Honestly she was terrified, there were several occasions where she had ended up on the bad side of powerful gangs, how she got away from it all was a mystery to even her. Nodding her head, she took his hand and shook it gently, looking him in the eyes. "Nice to meet you. Lelia, Lelia Lovelace" she said, figuring she should at least be as formal as he was. It was impressive actually, in comparison to her other meetings this one was alot more professional.

"I'm new in town, been running around all over. But I figured it would be a good idea to find a new supply. I am definitely interested in doing business." she said, without so much as a nervous glance about like some people might do in this type of situation. "I'm only looking for something small, like 3.5 grams or so. Just enough for a night. That's not a problem is it?" she asked, starting to sway a bit on the spot. She would need to make it look like she was dancing with him at least, though in the back of her mind she almost wished this wasn't business, that it was pleasure. Who was to say that it couldn't be bother?

Lelia watched him carefully, but not entirely because she was nervous anymore. Each expression seemed to send an odd feeling of joy through her, as if watching him speak was one of the best things she had ever seen. He was handsome, undeniably, though before she wouldn't have given much thought to the one she bought from. Without even thinking about it she found herself entirely drawn to him, moving closer as if so that she could hear every sound, hang on his every word. He did seem rather distracted though, had she done something to screw this up already? Screw what up? The deal, she had almost forgotten why she was here.

"My uncle owns a label. Though, I don't know if that's why you recognize the name. Maybe you've met one of my cousins." she said, laughing but it would be drowned out by the sound of the music. They really were everywhere, weren't they? Her and her cousins were like weeds she always thought, resiliant, hard to kill, and they were definitely growing in numbers. Jyo seemed very pleasant however, compared to previous contacts anyway. She offered him a bright smile, nodding her head. "Thanks. Believe me, that won't be a problem. I've seen where that road ends." she said, reassuring him she was good for it.

Lelia pulled closer to him, feeling his hand brush against her skin. She smiled at him, where normally she wouldn't have. Instinctively she bit her lower lip in thought, why was she being so awkward and girly tonight? "Psh, pretty? You don't have to sell your product to me, I'm already buying aren't I?" she asked, winking at him. Though she had a feeling it implied more than just business, had she really made that much of an impression already? "I appreciate the compliments though, you really know how to make us feel special." she said.

"Lucky indeed. Not many dealers come as well equipped for the job as you do." she said, the statement having slipped out. She laughed aloud, shaking her head. Why did she say that? Well it was true wasn't it? Yes, most definitely the absolute truth of the matter. There was a wide grin, showing off her a pearly smile as she looked at tonights release being held right before her. "Well, thank you very much. I can forsee there being a beautiful thing between us." she said, unsure at this point if she was refering to the drugs or the man.

Feeling Jyo step in with the bag in hand, she felt him wrap his arms around her, both of them dancing to the beat. However she didn't move her own hands to remove his, infact she pretty much forgot the purpose of that gesture. She just kept on dancing with him, stopping only to stare him in the eyes for a moment. "Uhm. I guess I'm distracting you from your work..?" she asked, hoping that he would stay. The contact sent shivers down her spine and for some reason more than any other man ever; she wanted him tonight.

Lelia's mind went blank for a moment, lost in the moment here on the dance floor. She was barely able to concentrate on anything else but this, yet somehow he managed to catch her off guard again. This relationship!? What was he on about now? The love spell was messing with her head pretty badly now, though in a few moments she would compose herself enough to realize he meant the whole supply and demand thing. How could she be sure though? His body was sending off as many signals as hers, she knew that there was only one thing she could be sure of right now and that was the fact that it seemed a whole lot warmer than usual in here.

"So that makes you what, a White Knight?" she asked, giggling though it was mostly drown out by the music. He definitely seemed like he was less of a brute than the rest of the people she dealt with. The way he carried himself, the way he spoke, everything about him was intriguing in this moment. She wanted to know more of him, however talking seemed like it would ruin it all. Whatever this feeling was it was not entirely her own, something more that she could not control in the least. Lelia flashed a playful grin, shaking her head at him. "Not too corny, though it sounds like you have a few tricks up your sleeve to picking up the ladies." she teased.

Honestly she didn't care how it sounded right now, the fact that he even gave her the time of day seemed to be enough. The deal was almost entirely forgotten now, if it wasn't for the gun he carried she would have put it aside entirely for just this. The addiction didn't seem so bad when he was looking at her this way, his voice was almost as intoxicating. "Don't worry about it, I've had worse, it could be pointed at my face." she said, smirking as if she wasn't afraid of the fact that it was present. That was not entirely true, but there was no reason to dwell on something she could not change.

"I hope I don't have to worry about it, I think I've finally found someone I can stand to talk to.." she said, making a pouty face. Instead of pulling away she moved closer to him as he closed his jacket, feeling his hands move down to her hips. Most of what he said next went over her head as she watched his lips move, until she managed to make him take a few steps back from the situation. Lelia however didn't want that, she sucked up her courage, and decided to take a bold step.

Moving in closer, she smiled up at him, leaned in, and kissed him. Her voice was only just loud enough for him to hear, "I want to.. as long as you do." she said softly. Her eyes darted towards the door that lead to the back once, then back to him, contemplating his next move.

He was quick on his feet, cool, easy going, but the thing that stood out most was the fact that he was honest. If nothing else, she was a sucker for a guy that just told it like it was, no secrets other than the ones that were neccasary. Minus the possible drug use, he seemed to be exactly her type, despite the shady life he lived. If Lelia had learned anything though in all of this, most of these dealers actually did it for a reason, at least in her experiance. They weren't all wannabe thugs who's only goal was to make money and hassle everyone else.

"I'll make sure to let 'em know that I have a bit of extra protection." she replied without missing a beat. There was a bright smile on her face, for some reason the fact that he was offering to protect her, somewhat, made her feel a bit better about making this choice. It was odd to find someone in this business who was like him, but when you did, they were definitely the contacts you kept for as long as possible. "I'm sure you won't have to worry about it much, I won't be shopping around much, something tells me.." she said as she continued her examination of him.

There were no warning signs for Lelia, for everything just felt like she should let it happen. Whatever she had consumed at the bar made her feel like she was riding a giant wave of euphoria, that she should just go with the flow on this one. At first she thought she had done something wrong in kissing him, but she got her answer when he pressed in once more to return the sudden lust driven out burst. All she wanted to do was get out of here, to go somewhere where they could be alone, somewhere she could forget everything but him for the night.

Jyo pulled away from her eventually, a frown threatening to over take her expression. She looked up at him, biting her lower lip as she wondered what was wrong. That kiss made it seem like he was interested, but he kept talking, which ruined the moment. "What's the problem? Did I say something?" she asked, wondering if maybe she had done something. Everything before that kiss was quickly becoming lost to her, she had no idea what she could have said to offend. Lelia looked away from him for a moment as the question came up, she figured he would ask.

"My uncle is the one who is rich, my father is.. well that's better left for another time." she said, prefering not to kill this moment. Instead she just clung tighter to him. "You're just.. really attractive. A nice guy, you don't find that often here. I just feel like I can trust you tonight, all I want to do is have a good night." she said, leaving out the part about trying to forget everything else. That was what the drugs were for, but this would do better for her right now. "Don't sell yourself short, you're definitely worth the attention." she said, winking.

"Do you want to get out of here or not?" she asked, deciding to just be blunt.
