(rewriting from venus last post. Since I was freakin exhausted at 3am and clearly missed several details that other writers wrote in their exiting leave)
Charles exclamation about her wearing a dress added to that celebration happiness. His kiss was welcomed an she kissed back on the side of his neckline. Leaving just a tad of violet lipstick, a different color then her usual dark voluptuous red hue, on the side of his neck. Venus paused him briefly to use the other side of that crumbled napkin to subtly wipe off female make-up evidence. She laughed. " Oops...got lipstick on you." His compliment left dimples residing in her cheeks. " Thank you, wore it to kinda celebrate." was her confession.
Interesting she could laugh when two ancient vampires caused everyone to be jittery. What the emanated from their presence was nothing like she'd experience before. Certainly the last time she ever wanted to come across their path again. Unfortunately Zoe was not so fortunate as the dual menacing sorts had their conquest to obtain her. A unsettling situation she's was not clear how that even happen? Only way to really get to the bottom of it was to inquire to their only lead --Zoe.
" Yes let me pay my bill first and I could definitely use the ride. No need to pay a taxi when you can rid in style in the caddy." Excusing herself momentarily that erotic steps lead her to the area to pay. Part of her wanted to just clobber Zoe for ruining her celebrating. Other half-of-her was so worried sick about how to even protect her bos'um buddy. Confident in Charles wisdom an decision making will help chose the right path. As she was returning to their sides she noted briefly his glance at Sirus. Nothing to imposing just a simple inspection perhaps? Venus was still novice to this supernatural world. It didn't make her feel less of a person not being able to 'associate' the scent of others like her --it will just take time. Just as it did taking time in her human life to learn to pull the trigger without any remorse to an enemy.
"Ready!" That New Yorker gal accent spoke to Charles to let him know she was prepared. Carrying her small white hand bag, an paper work that dangled past her pelvic in her walk along side her family members. Only time that chain broke was going through the door. Charles the gentlemen opened it letting them single file walk out into the night. Nothing was said during the preparation time get situated in the caddy. Venus took the back seat as she knew that Ms. Frenchy Thang, adored the front seat. Charles shut the door an she gave him a gracious nod. He helped Zoe but during that time she buckled herself in. An pulled a compact mirror from her purse. Using the street lights from outside to illuminate enough light atmosphere to study her features. Venus played with her lipstick with her pointer finger. Seemed it slightly smeared it a little lower off her lip from giving her best friend a kiss on his neck. Just a slight tweak. Ah, perfection. Infatuated with the glamour in her appearance and the playful prepping of her curled up style hair design. Venus enjoyed knowing she did look rather fetching spruced up. Rather then her typical jeans/boots.
Door opened an Charles slide in the caddy adjusted to his movements. Signifying that the transpiration vehicle would be going soon. Placing the compact mirror away she glanced out the window just to help check his blind-side. Nope, no pedestrians. Charles seem to note the same thing as he engine was set into the first gear an pulled out. His question was delayed in answer by her side. Venus leaned forward and swatted Zoe in the arm with her purse. " That's because you owe me a dinner now. "
" Girl what have you gotten yourself into? They seem very familiar with you. With your carefree gun-ho nature you've attracted the wrong sorts." Unfortunately this was the first time Venus really seem to put on a mommy complex with her younger friend. Zoe was so oblivious that most of the time Venus catered to it because it was good to learn. Good to understand the world. This time unfortunately being less cautious and to flirtatious she might have picked up the wrong suitors. These men wanted something deeper? What exactly happen she was unclear. She couldn't really tell Charles until Zoe clued them in first. Venus plopped back into the caddy seat. Situating herself patiently to hear the goods on this story. Purse was placed back down into the car seat beside her. An both palms latched upon the left knee as it attempted to cross into a lady like fashion to listen.
When it would come her turn she would explain what she saw, felt, an interactions with others that told her not to press into the issue because of the dangers. Not to mention give him the napkin that Logan tossed into her lap in his passing. All would accumulate the right answers so Charles would know how to protect his cousin, who was like Charles himself --in danger.

The drinks she'd consumed plus the power that had washed over her from the twins was quite enough to leave the french girl feeling more than a little buzzed. She wasn't sure what the big deal was with everyone being so antsy, and with her cousin coming through the door and escorting both her and Venus quickly out, she could only giggle as she waited for her friend to take up a seat in the back and then fall into the front seat herself. Feeling the swat to her arm, she stuck her tongue out at her friend, giving a roll of those warm brown eyes. "Fine, fine! I owe you dinner, woman! Though, I'm not exactly sure why I owe you dinner, I shall repay you. How much was it?" She giggled again, as if right then and there she would give the buxom blonde money back to pay for the meal that she had missed.
The question coming of what had she gotten herself into made a delicately arched brow raise up. "What do you mean, what have I gotten myself into?" She questioned back, trying to deflect a question that she didn't really want to answer for many reasons. Ok, so she knew they were vampires, some of the down right most sexy vampires she had ever seen in her life! Just thinking about it now made her squirm a little in her seat as she leaned her head back against the headrest. But to answer the question would probably mean that she would have to explain exactly how she had met them. Somehow, she figured telling Geller that she had put herself on the auction block for a high-priced madam would not go over very well. "I didn't do anything wrong. They came up and started talking to me. Is that a problem?"
Usually feigning innocence in a situation was all she had to do to keep from answering questions she didn't want to answer, but she could tell by both her cousin's and her friend's expressions and attitudes that this time, it wasn't going to work. A frown tugged at her lips as she could tell especially that Geller wasn't buying the act. Well, fuck! Zoe really did not want to hear the lecture that was bound to come her way when she told the truth, but it looked like there was no way she was going to get out of it this time. Giving a resigned sigh, she took a deep breath. "Okay! Okay! I met them in New York! Once!" If she could get out of mentioning how she had met them, things would go a lot smoother for her, of that she was sure of.
"I didn't think it was a crime to be friendly with vampires, considering, well, we fucking live with one. They were nice to me," Well, ok that wasn't completely the truth. One had been nice to her, the other had kinda scared the crap out of her with his rather abrupt reaction to her appearance, but that wasn't really worth talking about, was it? She knew the question was coming, so she answered it before Venus or Geller could ask. "No, I did not tell them we were coming here. What do you think I am, stupid?" Not of her own volition anyway, how was she to know that the power they had placed over her mind had not only stayed within her, but kept her somehow metaphysically linked to them? Heck, she still wasn't aware of how completely they had rolled her. "Maybe they got one of those weird invites and decided to check it out like we did?"
"What's the big deal anyway?" She turned in her seat to look first at Venus and then a her cousin, "It's not like they were hurting anybody. It's not like they did anything illegal. All they did was come up and talk to me. I was a familiar face. Sheesh! Either of you would have done the same damn thing! Why do I feel like I'm about to get spanked like a naughty child for being nice? Yeah, ok, so they weren't very gentlemanly when they pushed that other vampire away from talking to me. The cajun. I get that, but why is that a cause for everybody to be so up in arms about them?" She crossed her arms over her chest a bit defensively, "If it had been Nike who had walked up to me in that cafe, nobody would have given a damn about it. So, what the hell am I missing here? Somebody want to clue me in?"
