"Ah, miss Vasquez!" He gives her a smile, and a little flush, accidentally. "What a pleasant surprise. Did you come to see Edward and his friends too...?"

He didn't think they'd gotten along, but maybe they ended up meeting again later in the evening and Edward made up with her?

[gehennawind]

No sound of a door opening in the hallway behind her. Last thing they need is Edward showing up and sandwiching her between Jekyll and a dumb place.

A few rapid inhales lower her blood pressure, or at least start to. Her head bows. "I, no, my boss wanted to do a pub crawl. Your... brother told her she had free drinks and dragged me back here to... to talk."

She looks pretty frazzled for just talking, but at the last second she realized a scolding might just worsen the matter.

[cagedinflesh]

Sure, they definitely don't need that....

"Oh, I see... Do I need to talk to him about his behaviour?" He frowns, unsure of how far he went with...Being Hyde. But Jekyll can certainly think of how he may have acted. Like last night.

[gehennawind]

Paloma blanches. "Only if you think it'd help..." As opposed to make him ever more determined to be naughty.

The truly miserable part of seeing Jekyll here and now is wondering if he'd chosen to lose her number after all, a paranoia harder to banish when he's right in front of her. She swallows, glancing at where she'd inked his arm exactly a day ago.

[cagedinflesh]

"I'm not sure that anything helps." His head dips apologetically.

"Did you enjoy the show at least? If I had known you were interested in this sort of thing, I should have invited you. To come together."

[gehennawind]

'Together'. She sighs, because she is a nervous fool and of course you don't invite a business contact to grungecore on the first date.

"I'm on the fence, but I could." Spurred by relief, Paloma lightly touches his shoulder but immediately retakes the offending hand to her chest. "I really thought you'd forget about me in a second. I was wrong to think that."

[cagedinflesh]

It's okay, he doesn't like it either.... The way he's dressed and distressed by the crowd should say as much. Her touch is nice though. "No, of course not, how could I! Should I have called today? I didn't want to come across as pushy, so I thought it best to wait until tomorrow!"

[gehennawind]

He gets her to laugh genuinely and openly for the first time tonight. It feels like letting go of a huge box of pressure all at once. She could hug him.

"You're asking me! I've never given my number out to anyone like I did yesterday." She sounds bewildered and giddy in one. A terrible impulse takes the wheel; Paloma caresses is cheek and leans onto her tip toes to kiss him sweetly.

[cagedinflesh]

In the midst of booming music and patrons, Jekyll flushes, very nearly too taken aback to return the kiss. But not quite. His hand falls on her elbow to suggest she stay. Until the door behind them opens suddenly and makes him jump.

There's Hyde, catching them in the act. "Oh, come on!" No kisses for him????

[gehennawind]

If she's attracted to Edward, then that must go double for Henry Jekyll, who wooed her in no time. He doesn't taste like the bar, or cigarettes, or all the rest of the nastiness of tonight. And she'd be content to stay on her toes, kissing him delicately, if not for his rude cow of a twin.

Paloma jolts onto her heels, whipping around to take a defensive posture. "What!?"

[cagedinflesh]

"Right outside? It's rude, where's my kiss!" He pouts.

Jekyll on the other hand, gets all the more flustered. "Edward! You're not entitled to anything!"

"I didn't say that," but he implied it, "I just wanted a kiss."

[gehennawind]

She's appreciative of the brother at her back supporting what she's been grilling Hyde with this whole time. It was beginning to seem like she was the crazy one. Paloma moves into Jekyll some, enough to feel bolder for his warmth.

"And I want you to quit making this weird, but neither of us got what we wanted," she retorts. Evidently the sweetness and sunshine is for deserving parties.

[cagedinflesh]

And Jekyll would have liked for this to not be interrupted! But he does like paloma coming in closer. That part is very nice.

"I'm not making anything weird. What's weird about finding you attractive?" He looks at Jekyll and grins as if he's going to back him up.

"I'm sure she made herself clear..." Wait, his eyes, Jekyll steps forward to set the containers down and take Hyde's face in his hands. Which goes about as well as holding Tyler's head.

"What the fuck!"

"They're red, what did you take! No wonder you're being a brat. Drink some water."

"Fuck off, you're not my goddamn mother."

[gehennawind]

This is rather illuminating. She gets a glimpse of the redness Henry's talking about from her new and awkward position nestled between the two brothers. One basically right up on her ass-- oblivious-- the other wriggling defiantly.

Hardly a shock that he's high, since he admitted it himself. Brat, though! Paloma laughs wonderingly. She plants a hand into Edward's (bare) chest and another against Henry. "H-hey, umm, I should go."

[cagedinflesh]

What's so surprising about brat, Hyde's totally a brat! "Oh-" She saves Hyde though, as Jekyll remembers she's getting a bit crammed in, and so he should step back. "Sorry!"

Hyde on the other hand quite likes having her so close, and places his hand over hers to keep her there. "Already? What about us?" Threeway?

[gehennawind]

She'd planned on dropping her hands the second they reacted, but as per usual, Hyde has other ideas. Her fingers spasm and curl over his chest, slick after the washing. Heat returns to her cheeks.

"Aaaah," she squeaks. "He has my- he knows how to get in touch." Maybe she shouldn't have said touch. Pulling back might be a huge mistake, as it brings her butt onto Jekyll's thigh and hasn't dislodged her tall hanger-on. Maybe flattening herself to Jekyll and rotating around will force Hyde off?!

[cagedinflesh]

It makes Jekyll put an arm around her to help, but of course it doesn't get rid of Hyde, he lets go of her hand, but his soon move to her hips, and his hips press into her ass.

The moment Jekyll notices what's going on, he tries to pull Paloma away from him. "Edward!" It seems like exclaiming his brother's name takes up about 90% of Jekyll's time. "Please."

[gehennawind]

Her eyes might bug clear out of her head, if her heart doesn't implode first. It reminds her of her first time. Turn of the millennium, the girl's lips on her ear, a hard dick grinding against the cleft of her ass; three fingers inside her and a mouth on each...

Paloma winds herself up so much she plants her feet lest she keel over.

Her lips part. "Hhhh," she wheezes," clinging to Jekyll more for support. Hyde's tight pants don't hide anything. "Wow, umm! Umm! What are you- trying to accomplish!"

[cagedinflesh]

"That's a very good question! It seems as if he's more intoxicated than I had thought, I apologise." Jekyll tries to steer Paloma away, but Hyde does have a good grip!

"Me? Nothing really, I just wondered if you would think it's as fun as I do..." And judging by that reaction, yes, she would be into a threeway. Very good. Maybe not today, but soon.

[gehennawind]

Dizzy from their proximity, the smell of them as different as their body heat is the same, she's maybe too weak in the knees to pull as much weight as Jekyll. Bless his heart for trying when Paloma is sober but very, very conflicted.

"It?" Never mind. Better not to ask. She reaches with her free hand to hold the bad dog by his wrist. "I need to go, out, outside, it's nice meeting you? Henry, could I bother you for a ride-? I mean a drive?"

[cagedinflesh]

"Of course!" He'll definitely give her a ride and also a drive. Luckily though he doesn't catch the double entendre. Hyde, however, cackles to himself about it. "You had better eat that and drink plenty of water. I'm going to check with Arash." Because an Arash is always a good boy even if he hangs out with Hyde.

Hyde scoffs, but waves them off as Jekyll leads Paloma outside, through the back door so they don't have to deal with the crowd. When they reach his car, he opens the passenger seat door for her, because he's civilised. "Back to the hotel?"

[gehennawind]

Only in the safety of the passenger's side does Paloma's breathing slow to normalcy. What the HELL had she just allowed to happen because of a happy memory from her hindbrain?

Large gulps of air. "Oh, yes. Yes please." She catches him by the hand before he retreats. "Thank you!"

[cagedinflesh]

"Don't mention it," he smiles, partly for being embarrassed to hold her hand, but finally rests his other over them both, before making his retreat to his side.

[gehennawind]

He has a wonderfully reassuring way of treating her. Where Edward pushes and pulls on her like a Barbie doll, Henry acts like Paloma is a treasured equal.

An equal who, she finds when he takes a seat, is stupidly wet. No mistake. Old memories and new fantasies run amok in her mind's eye. She's going a little crazy. Crazy enough that she foregoes the belt, twisting toward him; she extends to brace on his shoulder and lean over the gap between seats.

"About earlier, um, before. D'you want to try it again?" Is there ANY doubt as to what she means.

[cagedinflesh]

"Again?" He's so white and his cheeks turn so very red, it's truly pathetic. "Really? I, ah, certainly wouldn't mind..." It feels wrong to say he actively wants to though, is he bad if he wants to??
