Houdini pulled the hem of her dress up so that her whole leg was showing. She scratched it vigorously and and then quickly dropped the hem again, hoping no one had seen. She was wearing a black, short sleeve dress that came down to her ankles(not a custom for houdini) and felt completely exposed. She hated the way the dress felt around her bare legs and how it seemed to suck the life out of her already slim waist. It just wasn't natural for women to torture themselves like this.
The only reason she was wearing the stupid dress was because she had told Blake that she would. Houdini was not about to back down from her word. So, she had borrowed a dress from her friend Starsage (without telling her of course) and had headed off to Irving Hall just like she said she would.
She sat down in one of the table seats right below the stage, and waited for the show to start. Whether or Not Blake would show, she didn't know - but if he didn't, she would still enjoy the show by herself, and would not admit that she had been the least bit disappointed.

Blake was late of course. He was always late to things, he called it fashionably late. When he snuck into the place, the show had already started. The lights were off except for the ones on the stage. He frowned a bit his eyes traveling over the crowd trying to catch a glimpse of Houdini.
He made his way down along the side of the wall, his eyes were alert and could see quite well into the crowd. He had amazing eye site something he was happy for. He usually caught things most people didnt.
Finally he saw her. IT wasnt hard, she had that beautiful red hair that he always like to tug at, something she hated and he knew it.
Sneaking over he slid into the row behind her and leaned over so he wispered in her ear.
"This may be sudden, since I dont know you at all, but I do believe you are the girl of my dreams."He grinned. |

Houdini spun around, smacking whoever it was with the back of her palm on accident. "Im so sor-," she stopped mid-sentence, instantly recognizing the handsome face. "Oh...It's you.." she whispered coyly. She motioned for him to sit down in the empty seat next to her and returned her attention to the show.
Not looking in his direction she said, "I didn't think you'd show up.."

Ack..."he said rubbing his face. "you know.. I swear we have an abusive relationship... and its all you"He said. Even with the black eye shed given him earlier, he looked good. Actually the black eye jsut gave it more of a sexy edge.
He stepped over the seats to sit down next to her. 'yeah... well, I was running late. You know.. IM a busy man"He whispered back, his eyes studying her in the darkness.
She looked good. He was curious to see how she looked once she stood up.

"you know.. I swear we have an abusive relationship... and its all you"
Despite the situation, Houdini laughed and looked over at him for the first time. He looked nice...She thought, and then quickly turned away.
'yeah... well, I was running late. You know.. IM a busy man"
She raised an eyebrow, "Busy? You call swooning girls and flings..Busy..? I call it Desperation." she said smirking.
The show was soon over and they were free to walk around and get some food - Mingle if you will.

Houdini rolled her eyes, "Always the charmer..." she said sarcastically.
"Come on kitten"he said. "Get up and twirl for me"
Houdini raised an eyebrow but didn't object for once. She accepted his outstretched hands and pulled herself up. She did one quick twirl smirking as she came to a stop. "Well, I'm in a dress." she said shrugging.

His eyes looked her over and he nodded. 'yes... yes you are."He said.
"you know if I wasnt so attached to not looking like an idiot, my mouth would be hitting the floor right now and drool would be coming out"He smirked.
He looked her over again and brought his gaze back up to her. "Come on... lets mingle so I can show you off"He said takin gher hand and placing it into the crook of his arm. "What do you say?"

'yes... yes you are.""you know if I wasnt so attached to not looking like an idiot, my mouth would be hitting the floor right now and drool would be coming out"
Houdini felt his eyes on her and it made her feel unnaturally unlike herself; It made her feel Uncomfortable.
"Come on... lets mingle so I can show you off""What do you say?"
She sighed and took his arm. She would try to enjoy this - And she would try her hardest not to hurt anyone tonight. She didn't want Star to get mad at her for bringing back her stolen dress, in shreds. It was one thing for Houdini to show herself off - But it was a completely other for someone else to. It made her feel like a spectacle. She wasn't used to this kind of thing, and, come to think of it - she hadn't gotten attached to any other men during Blake's absence.
Suddenly aware for the first time that since Blake was back, that meant that Cole was back, she stopped suddenly and paled slightly. She and Cole didn't get along very well. The last conversation they had ended in a few black eyes and a broken arm on Houdini's part. What would he do to her if he found out that she had a thing for his brother? She shuddered at the thought.

blake grinned at her his fingers carressing the top side of her hand as it lay rested on his arm. When she allowed him to show her off he was surprised, he really hadnt expected her to agree, he really had no intention to. He just wantd to see what she would say, he did enjoy riling her up. He thought she looked rather cute all riled.
Blake made away through the group of people and led her the stairs, and then led her towards a window that has the fire escape outside of the window. He stepped out and then reached in to offer a hand to her. "come on kitten"he said. 'I follow me"

"come on kitten"he said. 'I follow me"
Houdini raised her eyebrows. She wasn't quite sure if she wanted to follow him out onto the fire escape...But that fresh air...It irked her so. She wanted that fresh air...So she consented and followed him out.
"Any particular reason you're dragging me out here..?" she asked, biting her lip.

He nodded>"yes...'He said,. He pointed up and then waited for her to climb up first. "Trust me.."He said, and smirked a bit.
When they made it to the roof he took her hand, "Over here.."He said, and lead her over to what looked like a put together picnic.. or what he could manage. It wasnt fantastic, but it was what hed been able to do with what he had.
((Im going to say its warm out is that okay??))

((Thats fine - After I post Ill change your coad account thing)) Houdini blinked in astonishment. Well, it was most definitely a surprise. This was the last thing she had expected. She let out a whistle and laughed, "Here I was expecting you to try and marry us again, and you go and throw a picnic." she said laughing once more. ((the picnic is on the ground, im assuming  )) Houdini struggled with her dress to sit down, and nothing was working. Finally she gave up. "What the hell.." she muttered and pulled the hem up above her knees so that she could sit down. Her legs were showing, but she didn't care. |

(thanks deary  )) Blake shrugged with a grin >"What can I say.."He said as he pulled some matches out and lit the candles he had out there. "I do what I can to... surprise you"He smirked, shaking out the matches and then taking a seat. He watched her struggle a bit before finally pulling the dress up and sitting down. He shook his head, but honestly ... it just was her, he didnt mind it at all and it fit. "IT works..'He said. "Dig in...'He nodding towards the food. |

"I do what I can to... surprise you"
"Yeah, you certainly showed that at the bar..." Houdini muttered. "You must'ave been drunk or something...So I wont hold it against you." she added smirking.
"Dig in...'
Houdini wasn't very hungry. She had lost her appetite at the thought of what had gone on at the bar with him and Starsage. The thought of it still kept tugging at her. She hadn't kissed him like that in years...And yet, she had only been doing so to get out of his grasp. Or had she?
