The boardwalk, Friday evening

Blair didn't have ice to work with this time, but she tried to do what she could with the location she had. Luckily the beach was pretty. Besides, too much gold in the decorations tended to cross the line into tacky.

So she kept the decorations to twinkling gold lights and candles. Most of the linens were a crisp white, with golden napkins and table runners to provide pops of color.

The bulk of the gold went into the food. There were brandied apricots, lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, mango sorbets, small cups of saffron vanilla pudding, miniature stuffed yellow peppers, and any number of foods that followed the theme, along with the pies that Ned had made.

Drinks were mixed, but naturally included Goldschläger, as well as coffee and cocoa decorated with tiny gold letters which said things like "Fandom" or "Goodbye Summer."

Blair had staked out a prime table with a view of the water. She sipped at a passionfruit martini, listened to the music coming out of the various speakers she'd had set up, and looked forward to a night of judging watching the crowd.

She was also going to make sure nobody served those skunks. Clearly they didn't know how to hold their liquor.

Amber slipped away from Cal for a moment and decided to have a small word with Chuck. That is if he would give her the time of day. She just... had to say something, get it off her chest.

"Chuck, can I, um, talk to you for a minute? Please?"

Chuck sighed loudly and turned his attention to Amber. "What is it?"

Re: Mingle!

Yeah, this wasn't going to go so well, was it?

She cringed a little, shifted lightly from one foot to the next. "I...owe you an apology."

Huh. Suddenly this conversation got interesting. "Go on."

"I..." Amber totally couldn't look at him, so she stared down, at her shoes. "I acted terribly. I shouldn't have... teased you. It was wrong of me."

"At least you've realized your mistake. Number one rule about guys, Amber, they hate teases," Chuck said, not looking the least bit forgiving. "You should really keep that in mind for the future."

She bit her lip, dared a glance at him. "I just thought I was ready."

"Oh please be more creative," Chuck said, rolling his eyes. "That's the go-to excuse for girls. It gets boring after a while."

Amber blinked, surprised that he could be so rude after she was trying to apologize. "I'm sorry, I really am. I've never been with a boy before; it's the only excuse I have." And shouldn't he be sorry for leaving her there?

Re: Mingle!

[identity profile] rocksthescarf.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
He should be sorry about that, but he wasn't. "Well...I suppose I should give you some sort of credit for apologizing."

He had never had a girl do that before. It was kind of weird.

"No, I don't need any credit. I'm not looking for anything like that. I just... felt bad, the way things ended, what I did. But... you should feel bad too," there, she said it.

"Hmm. I suppose I should," Chuck allowed. "But I don't."

"I knew it," she said, frowning. "I knew you didn't. I would hate to call you names because I'm not five, but I'm sure there's a word for you."

Re: Mingle!

"Oh there's plenty of words for me," Chuck said, not looking bothered in the least. "Plenty of words for you too. You want me to share a few?"

Re: Mingle!

Amber bet they weren't very nice. Or were they? She did apologize after all. "Like what?"

Re: Mingle!

Chuck raised an eyebrow. This girl was glutton for punishment, wasn't she? "You're a naive little tease who should be thankful that I even looked at her."

Re: Mingle!

[identity profile] minnesota-teen.livejournal.com 2008-09-06 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yeah. No. Not nice at all.

Amber blinked. He very smartly and smoothly, put her in her place.

"You have my sorry; it's the best I can offer. Enjoy your evening, Chuck." With that she turned around and walked away.

Stupid boys.
