• $He was waiting in his office as the butler ushered Angelo in. He nodded at him from where he stood removing a cigerette from his silver case before sliding it back into his pocket. He lit the cigerette and drew a breath from it before blowing the smoke into the air.$"How did it go?"$He was never one for small talk.$ (NT) -- Adrien, 19:20:54 02/04/04 Wed
• He didn't take the liberty of sitting down - despite not being asked - he wanted it made clear that this was to be a short visit. He was in control here. He'd taken a hefty cut more than planned, though Adrien would never know it - he'd jacked the prices for the cars and made like he had only recieved what Adrien had expected to recieve, and then taken what he'd wanted. "It went magnificently well. Berlin is wonderful this time of year." (NT) -- Angelo, 19:44:39 02/04/04 Wed
• $"And my money, like expected will be in the account when I check?"$He took another drag from his cigerette. He looked at him, something stirring in those dark green eyes. As if he were thinking hard on something. Perhaps he could play the two men off of each other...they both were interested in Ariel..perhaps this could be of some use to him.$ (NT) -- Ariel, 07:17:54 02/05/04 Thu
• "Maybe a little more than you've expected." He offered a bit of a smile - Adrien and his brooding looks, they weren't intimidating at all - Angelo definitely knew himself to be Adrien's equal, if not better. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:09:59 02/05/04 Thu
• $He raised his brows.$"Oh? Changing prices were we?"$Not htat it mattered all that much except that if the Berlin connections found out hte lower prices in Moscow there could be some feuding.$ (NT) -- Adrien, 08:13:37 02/05/04 Thu
• "It's always worth it to ask a little more, my friend.. people will pay good money for good products, and what we're offering is a king's ransom for far too little." He nodded - he'd run his own businesses, so he had a head for this sort of thing. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:16:20 02/05/04 Thu
• $He shrugged.$ "True enough."$ He put the cigertte out in a crystal ash tray.$ "Anison...that man who brought you the cars this time, he will notify you when the next shipment is ready. It should be within the next week or so."$ (NT) -- Adrien, 08:20:53 02/05/04 Thu
• He nodded a bit at that, leaning against the door jamb, with his arms crossed a bit. "Alright." He didn't mind all of this jet-setting - in fact, he liked it - except for when she was on his mind, which had only been every trip since he'd met her - every trip since he'd started working for Adrien. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:23:22 02/05/04 Thu
• *She came storming in, right passed him, not even taking any notice that Angelo was standing there. She was in a black bikini, having been on her way to the pool when she had thought of something to say to Adrien.* "Adrien...we have to speak!"*She demanded in her normal chilly tones.* (NT) -- Ariel, 08:30:08 02/05/04 Thu
• He raised a brow at her brisk entrance, almost chuckling to himself. She definitely acted without much thought to the consequence on some occasions. And he hadn't seen her since they'd been at the beach together - the sight of her nearly burned him. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:33:29 02/05/04 Thu
• $He glanced at her unamused.$"Perhaps this could wait until a later date?"$ After all he was in the middle of finishing up some business.$*"No Adrien!"*She said shaking her head, hands moving to rest on her bare hips, shoulders back and back straight.* "You always push me to the side for a 'later date'. I want to talk now."* (NT) -- Adrien/Ariel, 08:37:06 02/05/04 Thu
• He cleared his throat a little bit to spare her any further embarrassment, and reached into his coat pocket for a cigarette, looking around innocently. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:38:49 02/05/04 Thu
• *She turned around that the noise, dark mirrors narrowing at the sight of him.* "Oh of course...it would be you."*She turned back to Adrien, her jaw clenched.* "I don't care if he is here Adrien. I just want to know how long Atticus is going to be around before you get rid of him."*Her tone was so hard, no one would be able to tell that inside she was shaking. Shaking because she hadn't stood up to Adrien in a very long time.*$HIs eyes narrowed, not liking this show of defiance. He stepped up to her, hand on her arm pulling her slightly towards him.$ "Wht Ariel...is his presence too mush for you? Brining back too many memories for oyu to deal with? Little Regina Del Ghiaccio, find something you don't have enough nack bone to face up to?"$[et=Ice Queen] (NT) -- Ariel/Adrien, 08:44:40 02/05/04 Thu
• He definitely didn't want to be around to see this, but he didn't want to walk out of Adrien's office until he was dismissed, so he stood there, shuffling his feet awkwardly, clearing his throat quietly again. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:46:30 02/05/04 Thu
• *Glaring at him she jerked her arm free.*"I deal with you everyday do I not?"*With that she turned on her heel and marched from the room, head held high, and not sevn casting Angelo a second glance.*$The muscles in his jaw worked as he clenched his teeth. Then clearing his throat he forced his features to relax.$ "If that is all you may leave."$ (NT) -- Adrien, 08:49:23 02/05/04 Thu
• He nodded, attempting not to watch her as she left, "Yes, that is all." He ducked out quietly, and made to leave before he took off up the stairs, in search of her. (NT) -- Angelo, 08:55:30 02/05/04 Thu
• *She was storming down the halls heading to the pool where she planned on doing fifty laps to try and work out all the frustration burning within her.* (NT) -- Ariel, 08:57:48 02/05/04 Thu
• The window at the landing showed the bird's eye view of the pool, and he saw her as she made her way out onto the deck. Again, he went down the stairs, and out the back halls until he found the door out the back to the little courtyard which contained the pool. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:00:55 02/05/04 Thu
• *She walked over to the edge of the pool and dove in smoothly, hardly causing a ripple on the surface of the water. She swam the distance of the pool before resurfacing, using both hands ot sweep hair back out of her face.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:04:02 02/05/04 Thu
• He was standing there watching her, an unlit cigarette still settled between his fingers, and he crouched near the end where he waited for her. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:09:00 02/05/04 Thu
• *She caught sight of him, and growling under her breath she swam towards him. Quick, seemingly effortless strokes brought her quickly to the other end of the pool. Treading water she galred up at him.*"Following me now?"* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:11:53 02/05/04 Thu
• "What was that all about in Adrien's office?" He ignored her incriminating question, rocking back on his haunches a little. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:16:34 02/05/04 Thu
• *She raised a brow at him.*"Excuse me?"*She didn't see how any of that was his business."* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:18:03 02/05/04 Thu
• "Why didn't you stand up to him?" He cocked a brow a little at that. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:19:37 02/05/04 Thu
• *"Did you ever think that perhaps he was getting into an area of topic I did not wish to discuss in front of you? It is not necessary that you know everything that has to do with me."* She swam to the side and hosited herself out of the pool, Water cascading down her sleek, practically nude frame. Soft flesh shining.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:21:45 02/05/04 Thu
• "It was worth a question - but everytime you back down only makes it harder to stand up the next time." He watched her quietly for a moment before he reached into his inside suit pocket for a lighter to light up. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:23:21 02/05/04 Thu
• *"I would appriciate it if you would stop assuming everything! For your information I plan on continuing that conversation later tongiht. But you do not know Adrien as well as I do, and he will only tolerate so much defiance infront of others, I am not an idiot I know how to get what i want."*She shook her head, clearly in her mind she was talking ot someone who didn'thave the slightest clue of what he was talking about.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:26:23 02/05/04 Thu
• "Alright, alright.. relax." She got far too worked up far too easily, and he rose to his full height, taking a drag off of the cigarette. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:27:49 02/05/04 Thu
• *She stood up as well, not wanting to have him towering over her. She looked out over the pool for a moment, then head turning a little bit to study him. At least he had pressed the issue of "Atticus".* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:29:47 02/05/04 Thu
• He watched her quietly for a moment, wetting his lips before he replaced the cigarette there. "I've been in Germany on business.." He wans't sure what he expected out of that? An "I missed you"? Ha.. not likely. (NT) -- Angelo, 09:40:15 02/05/04 Thu
• *She looked at him as if he were crazy.* "So...?"*Was he expecting a response to that? She looked away from him, rolling her eyes slightly.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:43:34 02/05/04 Thu
• Okay, so he was at a lack for conversation, and he was starting to look like a dork - he hated how she did that to him - he could stand up to the likes of Adrien, and men more powerful than him, even, and she could cut him down with just one look. "Who's Atticus?" (NT) -- Angelo, 09:49:10 02/05/04 Thu
• *She stiffened a little.* "An old aquaintence."*She said calmly, looking out over the water, her jaw set.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:52:37 02/05/04 Thu
• He leaned against the nearest wall, watching her carefully - trying to regain himself after being shaken. "That bothers you.." (NT) -- Angelo, 09:56:11 02/05/04 Thu
• *"No, I can handle Atti. I have always been able to handle Atti."*There seemed to almost be a softness to her voice as she spoke his name.* "I just don't like seeing him getting messed up in business with Adrien...he's a good guy."*She continued to look down at the water of the pool.* (NT) -- Ariel, 09:59:15 02/05/04 Thu
• "So it's just Adrien and Atticus combined that bothers you." He cocked his head to the side, this was more than she'd said in quite some time. (NT) -- Angelo, 10:01:14 02/05/04 Thu
• *"Exactly."*She snapped, eyes flashing to his face. She was simply glad he didn't know her past, and her teenage romance with Atticus, and how he had been the only man to ever treat her like a woman meant to be cherished, and how he still wanted them to be together.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:04:05 02/05/04 Thu
• "Is he a business associate of Adrien's now?" He wasn't prying to get information for leverage for himself, but was genuinely interested in what had gotten her all bothered. (NT) -- Angelo, 10:13:32 02/05/04 Thu
• *"You could say that. All our families know each other."*That was all she would say, and all she wanted to say. She would rather forget Atti was here.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:16:03 02/05/04 Thu
• He moved to make himself quite comfortable on one of the lounge chairs on the deck of the pool, motioning for her to sit in the other. "Things get complicated that way - better to be an outside source, like me." (NT) -- Angelo, 10:21:18 02/05/04 Thu
• *She looked at him, crossing her arms beneath her ample breasts, hips jutted slightly to the side. She refused to do what he told her to do, it was just part of her way of being stubborn whenever he was around.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:24:17 02/05/04 Thu
• He rolled his eyes a little at her act of defiance. "Contrary to what you believe, I'm not trying to "master" you, or "rule" you or anything of the sort. Perhaps we could be.. friends.. is that a new concept to you?" (NT) -- Angelo, 10:35:52 02/05/04 Thu
• *Eyes narrowed she moved to sit in the other chair.* "Yes, I know what a friend is. But I do not want to be your friend."* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:40:13 02/05/04 Thu
• ... but she sat nonetheless. He couldn't help an almost inward, self satisfied smile. "Lovers, then?" (NT) -- Angelo, 10:48:45 02/05/04 Thu
• *She fought the urge to roll her eyes and leaned in close to him, dark eyes looking into his.* "Percisely."*She said softly before getting to her feet, and hips swaying she strolled out of the pool are back into the hall.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:52:28 02/05/04 Thu
• He rose, and, of course, followed her - it was customary - and obvious that she was not the type of girl that you waited around for. (NT) -- Angelo, 10:56:42 02/05/04 Thu
