• To say that she had been unimpressed with her husband when he called the bar and told Jimmy - of all people, didn't even as for her the owner of the bar - to have her bring in the books for him to look over would be the understatement of the century. She was pretty much livid and just to make herself feel better she had changed clothes from the more professional style she had been wearing when she left the house to a definitely more risque look but she was planning on 'tending later that night anyways so she would have to look good. She even had on a pair of 'good ass' pants on. With a wave and a smile at a few regulars, she headed up the stairs and pushed through the door, dropping the heavy books on his desk as she pursed her lips. "It really couldn't have waited until tomorrow?" She questioned, her brow raised. (NT) -- Jas, 08:41:16 09/07/06 Thu

• He was definitely feeling confrontational that day, and then talking to Jimmy on the phone hadn't cooled him off any, and now sitting here plugging away at his own paperwork wasn't helping in the least. There was a part of him that was almost thankful when she stormed in - sure to find the fight he was craving, as terrible as that was. "No, actually, it really couldn't have." He probably wouldn't get to it any way that night, at the rate he was working at, but it was the principle of the matter - he was supposed to be doing the bookkeeping thing that night, which meant he needed her stuff there just in case he happened to get a chance to go through it. "I don't see why it's such a bother anyway." He cocked a brow and leaned back in his chair, dropping his pen on the desk - in that passive-aggressive manner he could have.

• "Why is it a bother?!" She questioned, her voice raising incredously. "For one thing, it's supposedly my bar, since you hate it so much, and yet you insist on double checking my books. That's a bother, Lucas." She stated, her arms crossing. "..and, I should be at my own place right now, watching over things, possibly 'tending and instead I am going to have sit around here and wait for you to make sure I didn't make any boo boo's because I need those books back tonight. Thats why this is a bother." She frowned, her thumbs hooking into her pockets, her stomach still flat and toned with only the faintest hint of stretch marks marring the skin from carrying his two children. (NT) -- Jas, 08:58:16 09/07/06 Thu

• "I just need to get an idea of what's going on." He protested matter-of-factly - and shrugged a little, as if there was no real reason to question his motives otherwise. "You have plenty of competent help to keep an eye on things - Jimmy's there, isn't he?" He couldn't help the sneer that curled the corner of one lip when he spoke the other man's name. He didn't even bother trying to hide his disdain. He also took great pleasure in the fact that he and Jas were owners of the clubs - and that Jimmy was merely a staffer. In her anger, his wife had neglected to close the door to his office, and his gaze drifted out to the stairs - as if he couldn't be bothered to devote his full attention to the issues at hand. He just couldn't resist letting his attention wander - hoping that maybe some one would come up with something interesting to tell him. (NT) -- Lucas, 09:03:27 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• She rolled her eyes at that, the fact that he wanted to get an idea of what was going on. "You could have just asked what was going on but...that would require talking and you aren't to keen on that, now are you?" She cocked brow, her stance defensive and when she saw his eyes wandering towards the stairs she ran her tongue across her lips. It had been a long time since the thought of her husband being unfaithful had crossed her mind but recently, all to often, she found herself thinking of the many times he had cheated on her before they were married. In all fairness to him, she had never even seen him look at another woman since they were wed but still, with things so rough between them, it was had not to be suspicious. "Expecting someone? Cuz I can go wait downstairs." (NT) -- Jas, 09:13:37 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• "I have no problem with talking." He retorted indignantly, and glanced down to her books sitting on his desk, yet still made no effort to pop them open. At her last question and the accusatory tone to her voice, he sat up straight and his brows furrowed into a dark frown. "I was actually thinking Cam might come up." He responded defensively, and then dropped a flat palm to the papers - quite noisily in fact. "But since you want to get out of here so damn bad, I guess I'll just look through this for now. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you any more." There was a definite sarcastic edge to his voice and it was hardly believable that he actually minded inconveniencing her. (NT) -- Lucas, 09:22:19 09/07/06 Thu

• "Well, glad to see you are your usual shining company." She stated with a growl, raking her hand through her thick blonde hair as she took a step back. "Try and get them done quick and I'll be out of your hair. I am going to go downstairs and just 'check things out'" And get a stiff drink to calm down her anger. "I'll send Cammy up if I see him." With that she turned, taking herself out of the office and down the stairs, nearly bumping straight into Cameron as she went down the stairs. "He is an asshole." She stated angerily, shifting past Cam to continue her way down the stairs so she could order a drink and talk with the 'tender who was on duty. She just couldn't be in the office with him, she had to deal with their spiteful, mean treatment of each other at home - it was definitely two sided - she didn't want to deal with it here too. (NT) -- Jas, 09:35:01 09/07/06 Thu

• Cameron kissed Jasmine's cheek as she passed - despite her prickly attitude - but then greeted his friend with a disapproving frown that quite obviously asked 'what did you do now?'. Even he knew better than to actually speak the words though, and so that left Lucas free to ignore the look, and to just shake his head. "Come sit and help me get through this so she can go." The two of them were terrible at focusing though when neither of them were all that interested in it - so it was a slow process that involved more chit-chatting about life in general than actual work. Cam was worse than a girl for gossip and wasn't helping keep his friend on track - instead updated Lucas on all the drama between co-workers liking each other and hooking up or wanting to hook up and all of that. As if they were in high school. (NT) -- Lucas, 09:41:49 09/07/06 Thu

• After an hour of waiting, she finally got pissed and stood up, paying her tab and then passing on a message to one of waitresses. "Could you please tell my husband that I am going back to my bar and he can do whatever the hell he pleases with the damn books?" She questioned sweetly before she stood up, shrugging on her leather jacket and pulling her hair out from behind the counter before she smiled and reached over to give the 'tender a kiss on the cheek - katie had always been a good friend to her - before she turned and headed out to her car to go back to a place where she was respected and at the very least welcome. (NT) -- Jas, 09:51:29 09/07/06 Thu

• The two boys - worse than teenagers sometimes for lack of attention span - goofed around for a while longer before finally getting down to business, just in time for one of the girls to pop her head into the office to pass along Jas' message. Lucas just scoffed, but Cameron frowned a little in concern before just letting it be and helping work out the numbers - always better at that then Luc. They worked easily through it all - Jas was meticulous and always kept near-perfect records - until they got to the payroll section. Brows furrowed, Luc forcefully punched some numbers into his calculator - as if he didn't believe that the math was right, before standing up and slamming things shut. "Bastard makes as much as I do and all he does is stand around and lust after my life." He growled the words - which were a total exaggeration, and dug his keys out of a desk drawer. Cam, not about to let his hot-headed friend storm off by himself, was quickly on his feet as well... (NT) -- Lucas, 09:58:36 09/07/06 Thu

• Does he know your talking to me, would it start a fight? -- Jas/Jimmy, 10:21:49 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• The party's over and you're moving on... -- Lucas, 10:31:00 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• She sighed and nodded a little, knowing Jimmy was right and she was likely to just get a few fresh bruises from some drunk college boys if she let herself get pulled into a physical confrontation with them. "No..didn't go so well at Luc's..." She murmured with a heavy sigh. She didn't encourage Jimmy, she wasn't dumb, she knew the man had been in love with her for years upon years - he had dated girls of course but it seemed he never fully got over his infatuation with her - but she just so desperately wanted to just feel a friendly touch that she was leaning against him a little as he led her up to the office and sat her down in her chair, tugging on her hair and winking a touch before heading down to the bar to get her a drink. His brow furrowed a little when he heard the whispers about Lucas being around and he almost groaned. Jas definitely didn't need the man coming to her bar and bitching at her there too... (NT) -- Jas/Jimmy, 10:40:12 09/07/06 Thu

• The party's over and you're moving on... -- Cameron, 10:47:54 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• He rolled his eyes, turning with a beer in one hand and a rum and coke - Jas's usual - in the other, his eyes moving upwards towards Cam's eyes. "Yes, and I also know that there's a girl up in the office that is having her heart broken by your dickhead of a boss and I would appreciate if you would move so I can go take her the drink she requested." He shifted to step past Cam, briefly contemplating how he was surprised that it was Cam and not Luc - he'd never really had a problem with Cam in all the years that they had worked in the same establishment. (NT) -- Jimmy, 10:56:28 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• The party's over and you're moving on... -- Cameron / Lucas, 11:07:07 09/07/06 Thu
  • She had wondered what was taking him so long when a girl rushed up to tell her there was a fight and she groaned, heading downstairs to see what was going on. When she saw Jimmy on the floor and heard the whispers about Lucas and Cam she set her jaw and called for someone to get Jimmy an icepack. She murmured a sorry to the man who had been such a good friend to her over the years before she stood up, heading towards the doors to the club. She wasn't sure what she would say if they were still outside but she knew she couldn't just let either of them just come in and bully around her friends and then just walk out like it was ok because...definitely NOT ok. (NT) -- Jasmine, 11:12:09 09/07/06 Thu

  ---

• Cam, consumed by guilt, was already in his car with the engine running - impatiently waiting for Lucas to finish up his second cigarette so they could get out of there before causing an even bigger scene. Lucas, however, seemed like he couldn't be bothered - too stubborn to make a great escape, too frustrated to do anything but just stand there while he finished his smoke. Finally, because he knew that Cam was going nutty, he made movements to leave where he was standing by the front doors and make the short walk to where his friend was impatiently waiting. He didn't care that Cam had laid out Jimmy and felt no remorse, he just seemed almost resigned to the fact that Jas had given up on her husband and moved on to someone else. (NT) -- Lucas, 00:27:02 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• She was through the doors and lighting her own cigarette just to calm herself down before she saw him and came to an abrupt halt. Her eyes were flashing, her hair down around her shoulders in a cascade of gold which just made her green eyes stand out more and she looked absolutely livid. "Tell your friend that if he can't help but go around punching people; he needs to stay the fuck out of my bar." She growled out, one arm crossed against her ribs while the other lifted her cigarette to her lips. She was so angry she didn't even know what to say, she was at a loss, who the hell did they think they were? Seriously. Lucas doesn't have shit to say to her for weeks but then just strides in and allows/tells/encourages his friend to punch her help? Bullshit. (NT) -- Jasmine, 10:39:27 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• He heard the doors open as he was leaving the area - and just knew that it would be here, but didn't look back until she spoke. At her words, and the anger in her voice, his brows raised and he pivoted on the balls of his feet to face in her direction, hands shoving into the pockets of his jeans and shoulders raised. "Tell your boyfriend that if he can't keep his paws off of you in public than he should expect to get punched by my friends." It was his turn to sound accusatory, and it was actually almost a good feeling - so many times he had been in the wrong before in their relationship, but never had he looked at another woman since they had been married. It amazed him though that she had had the nerve to use that 'tone' with him earlier that day, and then be all touchy-feely with that jerk just now. (NT) -- Lucas, 10:45:57 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• Her eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief at the words that came out of his mouth. "Fuck you, Lucas. When the hell are you going to get over what issue you have with him? It's been how many fucking years, let it go for fuck's sake." She didn't normally swear so much and while their voices weren't raised they were still causing a bit of a scene just because they were them and one could pretty feel the anger in the air. She knew Jimmy might glance appreciatively at her but he was always nice, never inappropoate, never tried to cop a feel or anything like that. She didn't go into Illusions and get into fights with the bitches there that wanted him because she had self control, something he was obviously lacking. (NT) -- Jasmine, 10:50:46 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• "Fuck you too, Jas. I wouldn't have such an issue with the guy if you weren't letting him put his hands all over you in the middle of the club. I'm not making this up - I saw you." His voice raised at that in response and he didn't care how many people stopped to listen or what everyone was thinking or saying - hell, people loved drama. Maybe it would just make the place even more popular. He shook his head a little and took a small step forward, but then promptly took a big step back. "Never mind his public groping of you.. You can't tell me that you would be cool with me having a close girl friend running the show and spending all sorts of time with me, and going out for food and all of that. It's bullshit, Jasmine, and you know it. You're making me look like an idiot." (NT) -- Lucas, 11:03:59 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• "You're seeing whatever it is you want to see. Taking something innocent and turning it into something dirty because maybe that will make it seem ok that our marriage is fucking shit!" She set her jaw heavily for a moment when he continued and then shook her head. "He doesn't run the show! Where the hell do you get this shit? Seriously? Do you just make it up?" She ran one hand through her hair, shaking her head. "I don't go 'out for food' with Jummy, If I talk to him outside of work it's about work, I don't just call him up to chat. And, yeah, Luc, occasionally he calls me to see how I am doing and yeah, maybe I talk to him but it's nothing like you're making it out to be." She paused a second, shaking her head. "Damn it, I shouldn't be having to defend myself to you!" (NT) -- Jasmine, 11:12:35 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• "Stop giving me reason to need explanation then, Jas." He growled back at her even though he knew that he was unjustly making it sound like all of this was on her. The truth was, he couldn't really blame her if she was seeing someone else - god, he was the one who still couldn't even remember the last time he had really kissed his own wife. Shaking his head slowly, he shrugged in defeat - he was never the type to back down from confrontation, but it just seemed like he had given up, things had gone so wrong that he didn't even want to fight anymore. "I'll be at Cam's tonight." He knew that Jordy didn't like having him around much, and it made Cam a little uncomfortable to be stuck in the middle, but his friend would never deny him a place to sleep. (NT) -- Lucas, 11:20:21 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• The way his shoulders dropped a little and the way his eyes seemed to lose that angry spark made her heart drop and tears spring to her eyes. Shaking her head, she took a ragged breath and clenched her jaw to fight the tears when she spoke. "Don't bother. I'll get my stuff and be out of there before you get back from work." She stated before she turned, walking away from him and heading back inside of the bar. She'd stay with one of the 'tenders or get a hotel room or something; she just knew she couldn't go back to that apartment again, not with things the way they were between her and Luc. It was suffocating in there, like she was walking on eggshells and so was he.... (NT) -- Jasmine, 11:25:20 09/08/06 Fri

  ---

• "Jas, no..." He called after her, even though she clearly wasn't stopping or changing her mind. With a low growl, he ran both hands quickly through his hair and then down his face - uncaring about the curious passers-by who had been listening to the exchange as if it was for their entertainment. Finally, he just tore himself off of the patch of pavement he was standing on and headed back towards where Cameron was parked. His friend had gotten tired of waiting inside the car and was now leaning on the outside - having watched the fight from afar, he probably didn't hear much, but really didn't need to to know how it all had gone. Their marriage was definitely a messy situation. (NT) -- Lucas, 11:29:39 09/08/06 Fri
