Groovy Tunes, Wednesday

Alice felt shivery. She wasn't sure why, but she could hardly object. This was clearly a sign that she should find some R&B and dance around the store and try her hardest not to flirt shamelessly with anyone who came in.

That last one might not be successful.

Groovy Tunes was open.

There's a quiet storm, and it never felt like this before

In the morning, Leto had gone for a walk into town. There were new flowers everywhere, and the scent heavy, and for some reason he picked a few.

He didn't know if Alice liked flowers, but perhaps she could feed them to the cat if she didn't.

He entered the shop, looking for Alice.

"Good morning," Alice said warmly. "Or afternoon, it has to be nearly afternoon by now, doesn't it? I feel like dancing."

This ignored the fact that she was dancing.

"I can see that," he said, smiling back. Then quickly he crossed the room, trying to slip an arm around her. "I brought you these," he said, putting the flowers behind her ear.

That was a perfect place for them, and Alice was going to steal a kiss while he did so.

"Thank you," she laughed. "Any particular occasion, or did you simply think I required flowers today?"

"They bloom everywhere today," Leto replied. "I didn't know if you cared for flowers, but they are pretty and the scent is nice." If a little heavy.

He paused, watching her, and lightly running his fingers through her hair. "You are beautiful."

"I always enjoy presents," she smiled, leaning in for another kiss. "And I fear you had ulterior motives. If you're seeking entertainment, I must confess that I have no croquet mallets today."

Not that they couldn't find other ways to entertain themselves, she was sure.

Oh, there always seemed to be entertainment when Alice was around. He kissed her back, lightly at first and then more eagerly, before recalling they were in a shop. "So, what else have you to offer?" he asked, teasingly, against her lips.

"What did you have in mind?" she purred. Steady, Alice. She was at work, and there probably weren't any convenient locations where she could -- well. They could excuse themselves to some sort of closet, except that involved hurrying and rushing. Or worse, there wouldn't be rushing ... there wouldn't be returning to work, either.

This didn't stop her from twining her arms around his neck. "You could tell me how your day has been," she mused. "We could play another game."

Leto's thoughts ran along similar lines, although he was unaware of the existence of suitable closets. His arms slipped around her waist. "And what kind of game would you suggest for today?" he asked, meeting her eyes.

"That's a dangerous question, considering my mood," she teased, granting him another kiss. Only a quick one, this time. "Perhaps we'd have more luck asking you that question."

"Is your mood more dangerous than mine?" His fingers ran through her hair.

There was something strange about these intense sensual reactions. Not that he didn't usually find Alice intensely attractive, but his self-control was... not really there. He knew he should be concerned, but all he could think of was... "Don't you get a break?"

"I doubt it could be," Alice laughed. "Your mood tends to be more improper than mine, as a rule."

She nuzzled against him. "A short one," she sighed. "Which, if I took it now, would become a very long one, and possibly all break and no work. Which doesn't sound that unpleasant at all. That would seem to be the problem."

"Improper?" He chuckled, voice warm. "So, you wouldn't risk taking a short break because it might turn into a long one?"

She got another kiss.

"It would cease being a break and become 'Alice left work quite early today,'" she grinned. "And then Chad might be very disappointed, though Chad presumably has other things to concern himself with. I'm not sure who he left in charge, in his absence."

"Clearly you are under the assumption that neither of us can control ourselves well enough to just make it a short break." Leto placed a few kisses down her neck.

"Where could I be getting that idea?" Alice giggled, tipping her chin up to let his kisses wander down. "You might have more luck changing your angle. Woo me away from work. Promise me hours somewhere to waste time at our leisure, if I close shop early. Far more satisfying than a small break in a broom closet."

"So, if I suggest I meet you tonight?" he replied, pulling away a little to meet her eyes. "Will that be more likely to succeed?"

"It might," she said, her own eyes dancing. "Though I shouldn't like for you to take me for granted. I believe this is where I'm supposed to feign being cold and aloof and leave you uncertain as to whether your efforts are to be successful. I believe that's to encourage you to not take my agreement for granted, or to keep you from presuming that I'm easily swayed on such matters."

"You believe?" Leto replied. "Why should cold aloofness be an advantage too you?" Oh, this was a good game.

She set her chin. "Can you imagine there being any advantage in the reverse?" she asked. "You believing that I was pliant to your whims, answering any beck or call? You would brush me aside as just another girl to dangle on your puppet-strings."

"Wouldn't asking you be a proof that I didn't expect that?" he asked. "Unless you believe me to have a preference for that kind of behaviour."

"You ask now because you don't," she replied calmly. "If you did, you wouldn't ask. So I have to keep some mystery about me, or else you'll stop asking."

There's a quiet storm, I think it's you

There's a quiet storm, and I never felt this hot before

Giving me something that's taboo
