slow hands

“For the last time, no. I have never actually used the phrase ‘ello gov’na,’” Roxie nearly growled, smacking a hand against the bar top as she glared up at the man who had been pestering her ever since he caught wind of her accent. Except this time it wasn’t him. Mr. Fedora had moved onto his next victim, already leering down the poor girl’s top. “Oh gosh, I’m sorry. Some guy was pestering me before… Did you need something?” 

Griffin’s day had been consistently filled negativity, his coworkers were beginning to question his authority and called for all day meetings which he had just gotten out of. He almost beelined it for the bar the moment his was free. He sat behind a half empty glass, his eyes trained before him when he heard an all too familiar accept pierce through his ears. His heart almost broke all over again when he came to the realization of who it was. He lifted his head, almost daring not to look before raising his eyebrows at the girl. “Nothing at all. Carry on.”

Junie couldn’t stop the laugh from coming out, “Then order something with much more vodka and I swear it’ll help a lot faster then the blowjob shots” She said shrugging a bit at him. “That and I am running out of whipped cream, so switching now is going to help us both”

“Well how about you just surprise me.. I’m up for anything.” Griffin replied honestly, leaning his arms on the bar top as he gazed at the girl, his grin pulling up on his lips. His eyes tended to lingering on girls longer than they should have, it often got him into trouble but moments like this he really didn’t mind. “I trust your instinct.. make it strong.”

“Lonely? You? I can’t believe that.” He let out and laughed a little bit as he looked at his shirt and back up. “I’m pretty sure if I show up to work two hours late because my apartment is pretty far, I’d get fired too.”

“Misery is company and you my friend.. looking more like the former.” Griffin teased and looked to his surroundings before checking his watch. “Right.. well I have an extra dress shirt in my gym bag.. would that help?”

“Honestly? Yes. You could flash my a little smile and wink at me and I would swoon right there. I’m already swooning.” She laughed and shrugged a little bit. “You’re right. They do want to get paid after all.”

“Already swooning? Good to know.” Griffin replied, flashing his iconic smile in question as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Would you like me to talk to them? Maybe an extra check would get them to shut up and get to work perhaps.”

“Well, I am a generous person. I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself.”

“I’ll be sure not to take advantage of your gracious opportunity then.. Should we go buy you a dress now?”

“Perks of being head of a famous law firm honestly.” She let out and smiled a little bit. “I was thinking about wearing silver or maybe even a red dress. Maybe red. I’m Chloe by the way. Chloe Prince.”

“I’m sure I could use a familiar face in a firm.. My lawyers.. well aren’t too fond of me.” Griffin replied with a small laugh. “Well Chloe.. I think red would compliment you well.. I’m Griffin.” he smiled back at her, his eyebrow lifting. “Do I have myself a date?”

“Actually, governor balls and charity events are my thing,” she admitted, “Perks of being a Kennedy, you kind of grow up doing all that jazz. Plus, who can turn down all that champagne?”

“Alright I knew I recognized you from somewhere I couldn’t quite place it. But now i’m getting mixed vibes here.. Are you coming with me or do I have to go moping around for a new date eh?”
