her hand drops from where she'd been holding it out, though the grin on her face makes it clear she isn't admitting defeat. " first of all, if you wanted to grind, you shouldn't have come to a place where the primary music playing is freaking country, jerk. that's entirely on you. " she points at him accusingly before folding her arms across her chest. " and second, your entire plan depends on me giving up, which tells me you clearly don't know me at all. " stepping a little closer, she lifts an eyebrow. " most people would've just said no, by the way. instead, i've gotten a full speech. " a laugh escapes her as she nudges his knee lightly with hers. " so what's it gonna be? one dance, or are we about to find out who's more stubborn? "

genevieve lets out a loud groan and drops her head back dramatically. " ew, seriously?! why did you have to make it weird, dude? " a horrified laugh escapes her as she points at him from where she's standing. " couldn't you have called yourself, like, a fun guncle or something? " shaking her head, she lets out another laugh before rolling her eyes. " and for the record, i don't think the age gap is the issue here. i think the issue is that you're looking for excuses because you're scared i'll outdance you. " her grin widens as she gestures toward the dance floor. " also, if you've got enough energy to file a discrimination complaint against the dj, you've got enough energy to get up and dance. " tilting her head, she studies arturo for a moment. " although, i will give you points for somehow managing to turn 'come dance with me' into a formal investigation. " extending her hand again, she raises an eyebrow. " so, are you done being dramatic, or do i need to start collecting signatures for your petition first? "

" oh, please. " genevieve laughs as she lets derya pull the cowboy boots card, giving their joined hands a gentle swing. " if i were blackmailing you, we'd be two songs in and i'd have already convinced you to buy a cowboy hat. " her grin only widens when she catches the other woman laughing despite herself. " and for someone who's acting like this is a hostage situation, you're looking suspiciously happy right now. " as they move with the crowd, she glances around dramatically. " also, i am happy to inform that nobody is looking at us funny. in fact, i'm pretty sure we're blending in better than half the people here. " turning her attention back to derya, she points an accusing finger. " and yes, i happen to think country and unrestrained fun are a fantastic combination. clearly you're discovering that for yourself. " a beat passes before viv adds, unable to resist, " although if you did want cowboy boots, i know at least three places in town where we could stop at tomorrow. just let me know and i'll make it happen. "

cameron raised an eyebrow at genevieve when he had seen her expression shift when the music had changed songs. at first he was going to decline.. but then he had seen just how happy she had gotten and didn't want to ruin her fun. he hadn't been planning on doing any dancing, but he also wasn't opposed to getting on the dance floor and having a little bit of fun either. " it's non negotiable that we get up there and dance ? " he'd ask with a laugh. " alright.. you won't have to stand here and convince me much. i mean i wasn't really prepared or planning on getting up there tonight.. and i'll try to fake having fun, if i'm not. " he took her hand and began to stand up while they had made their way to where the music was blasting throughout the speakers. " luckily for you, i don't hate dancing... but i'm also tired since i just came off of work, so, you've also been warned. "

" wow, that might be the fastest anyone's ever agreed to one of my terrible ideas. " genevieve laughs as she threads through the crowd with him in tow. " usually i have to negotiate, bribe, or guilt-trip people first. " she shoots him a grin. " and honestly? i think 'i just got off work' is the most valid excuse i've heard all night. " she glances at him, smile bright. " but if you survived an entire shift, i think you can survive three minutes with me. " as they reach the crowd, she raises an eyebrow. " although now you've got me curious. on a scale of one to ten, how much energy are we working with tonight? i need to know what kind of dance partner i've been given. "

sovaia was already probably three or four margaritas in, hanging out, having fun with her girlfriends as per their weekly scheduled hang. it felt like the drinks just breezed by that she was unsure how much she's had. she had been so engrossed in the conversation she was having with the group when the next song makes everybody turn, and the next thing she knows, genevieve was offering her hand. "oh, mademoiselle..." she says with a smug smirk, taking it hold, standing up from her stool. "if this song doesn't get me to dancing, you better call an exorcist because i would never not turn this one down." she basically turns it around and drags them herself to the dance floor this time.

" oh! " a surprised laugh escapes genevieve as her hand is accepted far more enthusiastically than she'd expected. " see? this is exactly the kind of response i was hoping for. " despite herself, she stumbles a half-step as sovaia immediately takes charge and starts pulling her toward the dance floor. " okay, wow. so much for me being the one doing the convincing. " shaking her head, she squeezes the other's hand and grins. " and here i was ready to give a whole speech about why this song deserved your attention. " as they reach the crowd, she laughs again. " good to know we're on the same page, mademoiselle. i was starting to think i was the only person here with taste. "

" is this seat taken ? " alyssa would ask as she would approach a familiar face up at the bar. she had work in the morning because she was still getting things ready for the fashion show the fashion house had been in the process of getting ready for. " i've got an early morning but i figured.. why not, right ? plus, the fact that i did not feel like staying at the apartment alone today. it's been one of those days where i just needed to get out. " she wasn't really paying attention to how she had basically been rambling now. " the photobooth pics are sooo cute i heard. we should so go check it out ! "

" for you? never. " genevieve grins while patting the empty stool beside her, already shifting over to make room for the blonde. " i'm glad you came out tonight. sometimes loud music, brightly colored drinks, and other people's energy can reset your brain. " she takes a sip of her drink before tilting her head sympathetically. " but seriously, i get it. some days being alone with your thoughts feels like a terrible idea. " viv adds, expression brightening at the mention of the photobooth. " also, yes, we are absolutely doing that. i've been waiting for someone to suggest it, because i refuse to leave without at least one embarrassingly chaotic photo strip. " her grin widens. " the real question is whether we're going cute and coordinated or full disaster mode with the props."

" happy pride! " genevieve beams, accepting the flyer. " let's see... " blue eyes skim the page before she clicks her tongue dramatically, shaking her head slightly. " i'm definitely interested in a few of these. plus, if i attend enough events, maybe i'll finally stop getting accused of only showing up because it's good content for the paper. " she scans the flyer once more before looking back at kenna with a smile. " honestly, i'm impressed. there's enough here to keep people busy all month long. " her gaze drops back to the page. " which ones are your favorites? i feel like that's the real question. "
