Go ahead, I need to.. powder my nose.. (She said, smirking at the cliche, touching a hand to his arm in reassurance that she would be fine. Crossing the room, she picked up a glass of water from the bar and walked over to the ladies room, where there were a lot of other women just sitting around in the waiting area gossiping. She checked her makeup and the line of her dress, one never knew when a handmade dress would spring a small leak somewhere. Satisfied, she left the waiting area and rejoined the party, unknowingly bumping into another young lady who smiled and apologized for the mishap. Smiling, Karlie kept walking, but her dress strap had stretched and let go, so she stopped to reattach it when a flash out of the corner of her eye made her look up, then cry out as a solid form in all black collided with her, pushing her back until the edge of the large gilded fountain struck the back of her knees and sent her straight into the water. The culpret was gone within seconds, but the eyes of a couple hundred people did not disappear, they were locked on her and voices were slowly starting to pick up again from the sudden silence. Voices grew into snickers and then people started to go about their business as if it had never happened. Karlie sputtered in disbelief, lifting a hand to move the soaking hair out of her eyes, knowing her makeup had run and her dress was ruined.. another dress was ruined. The thought made her sick.. she had just sold this dress and it was ruined. Closing her eyes to the stares and pointing fingers, she gathered herself and picked up her purse and her heels in her hand and gathered her skirt to climb out of the fountain.. she would never live this down and she just wanted to die.)

He had paused in his conversation when the room went silent - his eyes immediatly lifting - if something went on he figured it had to do with Karlie, something just in his gut told him so. He excused himself quickly, jogging over to where the commotion was coming from. He saw her, torn between going to help her and running after who ever had done it. A low growl escaped his face as he leaned forward to help her out of the water, his eyes gentle. "Karlie.." He shook his head, his hand going to her back, not caring if she was soaking wet. "Come on, lets get you home." (NT) -- Nick, Fri, Oct 28 2005, 9:44pm PDT
