 ____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ Why had she hit him? "It's not often you're met with a kiss like that by your employee Pip. Call it... an auto-defense" answered the woman with a slight chuckle. Though she had been a stripper for years, Alice had always been careful before actually letting a man make a move. So being caught off-guard like that may have been what truly surprised her. Or the fact that it had been a while for the eye-patched woman... Her gaze shifted to the Frenchman for a moment, looking him over. There was no way to deny he was looking... ravishing, but really when did he not? Continuing that silence, Alice gently touched one of the lilies in thought. "Pip..." she finally said, before taking a few steps towards Pip, standing but two or three feet in front of him. "What exactly are you after?" It might have really been an obvious question... the man had kissed her the night before... brought her flowers to apologize... and was in her home now...

Pip smiled gently and shrugged lightly. "A date? Mademoiselle." Pip said cheerfully. He was a simple man, and while all men had that ultimate motive of getting a girl into bed. Pip was unsure if he wanted just that or more than that. So a date, sounded like a nice way of putting things. Getting to know one another, seeing if they even really clicked together. That sort of thing. After all Pip was more for Romance then one night stands. He had to many of those in his past to know he didnt enjoy them once everything was said and done.
"A take you to a expensive resurant.. dinner and movie date?" Pip said more than asked Alice. "And.. see where eet goes from t'ere...?" Pip added gently, he wouldnt lie about what he wanted but he wasnt going to come out and say it. Besides it was more fun this way. Plus Alice was so beautiful she would probably ******** him and then leave him and Pip hated that. If he wanted that he'd go pay for Bela.
"No?" Pip asked as he stepped closer to Alice closing the distance between him and her. "Not as Employee and employer, of course." Pip added, this wasnt a business transaction either.

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ "A date?" repeated Alice immediately. That was about the only thing she could say about this. Of all the things she expected him to say... a date. Her gaze drifted to the side as she thought that over. Wasn't that unprofessional? Wait... this was Alice. When the hell did she care about being professional? She smacked her employees! And she hired those three on a whim... so... Yeah not professional. ...See where it went from there? No where. That's where. It wouldn't turn into anything, because she wasn't about to allow that. Still... it couldn't hurt to enlighten him. Could it? She had always been curious about him anyways so... "...All right. I suppose that isn't too much to ask" Alice answered. Was she high? No still hungover. "A warning though Captain" said the brunette, pausing for a moment to watch him. "Don't expect too much."

Pips eyes lit up. She was agreeing to it! He was about to smile and got halfway when Alice stated that he shouldnt expect too much. Pip nodded and ended up smiling anyways. "Oui. Of course not, mademoiselle. Ah.. where would you like to go?" Pip asked gently, before he bit the corner of his lower lip in nervousness. He was still fairly new here and didnt know where everything was exactly. And it was up to the girl to choose the place, not him. Unless she wanted him to.
"Unless you want to go.. wherever Mademoiselle. T'en i will 'ave to do some research." Pip blushed lightly. "Or i could cook for you!" Pip said getting ahead of himself and getting exicted like a child at christmas. He sucked at cooking, and he knew it. He made edible food but that was it. Edible food, not good, not fantastic.. edible... if your really hungry, edible.

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ Oh! Wasn't he excited? It was... kinda cute actually and the brunette couldn't help but chuckle slightly at that excitement. "Ah..." Where could they go really? The Grind-House was a bar/grill/strip club so... Alice never really had a reason to look for restaurants in the island. Which left them a bit stumped there... at least until Pip spoke up. "Well... I'm fine wherever but..." Yeah where is wherever in Nirvani-er Sonata. Ah! That could work. "We could stay here at the House. Close it off for the night and use the grill" offered the woman. It was a win-win, everyone got a day off, and they could have their... date.

"Oui!" Pip smiled to Alice and held a finger up triumphantly. "We could cook 'amburgers, or steaks, or 'otdogs. And, and-" Pip said in excitement before he realized. s**t.. do i even know 'ow to cook 'amburgers or 'otdogs? Pip froze in thought his, eyes holding exicitement and then confusion. Crap.. Pip still frozen in his stance of leaning forward a bit, arm in the air with a finger up like a little kid. A half smile now on his face, fear came to his gaze.
Pip straightened himself suddenly and laughed out of nervousness. "I will see you tomorrow t'en Mademoiselle. Around dinner time, Six?" Pip said hurriedly as he rubbed the back of his neck now, in panic mode. "Oui, t'at will be good. Ah..." Pip smiled and took Alice's hand he kissed the back of it gently in gratitude for her agreance to go out on a date with him.
Releasing her hand, Pip backstepped up to the door, still nervous and it was showing in his smile. "Take care Mademoiselle. I will see you tomorrow. Adeiu." Pip said gently before he ran out the door and shut it behind him. Effectively shutting part of his braided hair in the closed door.
s**t! He needed to learn how to cook! Like yesterday! Pip then was ready to book it, before his head -Thud- slammed back against Alice's closed door and he let out a groan of pain.
Figuring out how he was traped quickly enough, cause it happened often enough. Pip opened the door back up releasing his hair. He smiled like an idiot to Alice and waved goodbye before shutting the door again and running down the stairs.
He had to make it home and beg Integra to teach him how to cook!

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ Alice could only raise an eyebrow and smile in amusement at Pip. He was like a child right now. The excitement, the nervousness... it was still cute. "I'll see you then Captain. Sounds about right" said the woman as if it was nothing. That made it all the more comical, Pip flustering over this... while Alice was pretty normal about it. That smile stayed at his usual action of taking her hand and kissing the back of it. "Goodbye Pip." Alice tilted her head in a bit of confusing seeing that bit of blond hair trapped in her door... and then the slam came along. She couldn't help but hold back the laugh, effectively letting out a snicker at that. Oh... he was an idiot... A charming idiot nonetheless, but a still an idiot. Alice shook her head slightly and turned to look at the flowers. Well... she had a date. A date... Oh damn it.

~New Day~  x████████x x████████x Bela had been needing to Alice for some time now... she was just too chicken, 'till now. Hey, she kept her promises! Most of the time, anyway. And she was keeping her promise to Pip, which had been a season or two ago. How was she supposed to remember? Bela had a pink champagne bottle in one hand, which she had payed, in cash, some nights ago. A white flag, of sorts... it's not like Alice could see well enough to tell the difference, right? Right?!
So, steeling herself for some probable near future where she was gonna cry her eyes out, she knocked on the door. It was a very specific knock, and Alice would know immediately who it was. How else would Alice know it was Bela? "Hey, Patch Adams, open the door!" Bela called, rather loudly. Yeah, that's how. Just because she came to talk to Alice and make some nicey-nice didn't mean she couldn't rub in that joke a little longer!
Bela proceeded to wait patiently at the door for Alice to come greet her, if she was in the mood, anyway. But after she showed her the pink champagne, it was more than likely. And why pink champagne? Well, because it's rather pretty... and you don't get too drunk on it. Bela didn't like hangovers, and she suspected Alice didn't either.  x████████xBELA JAMES x████████x THE MISGUIDED HEART

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ These had been a few odd days... Alice was just washing a few dishes. She wasn't one to do housework when there was nothing to do, but she often found herself thinking more when she did it. Go figure. Right when she was finishing a familiar knock came along... and before Alice could reassure her mind who it was, came the rather loud typical call. She shook her head and chuckled slightly, oh Bela. What would it be this time? After drying up her hands, the brunette headed to the door, opening it to let in, indeed it had been, Bela. "Manners Bela, they're wonderful" replied Alice with a slight sigh. It was nice to see her actually, and her expression showed that. Oh champagne~ "What's the occasion?" asked an intrigued temptress, before heading inside after the blond.

x████████xx████████xBela chuckled, a smile quickly lighting up her face as she walked into the familiar apartment. "Alice, can't a girl come around for some quality girl time? s**t, no wonder I'm your only girlfriend." Bela scolded teasingly, turning around and giving Alice a face once they were both at the dining set. Bela sat down, holding out the champagne to the brunette. "And I hope you still have the fancy glasses to drink from." she pointed at Alice, still giving her the look from earlier.
"Actually, it's about the fact that I've been... difficult, this last year." Bela struggled to find a good word, even making hand movements as she thought. It was rather funny to look at. In some way, this was Bela's form of apologizing. She hoped that this would not be lost on the other woman. Alice was smart, she'd understand. x████████xBELA JAMES x████████xTHE MISGUIDED HEART

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ "Hey, speak for yourself" said Alice in response, because really the two were in the same boat. She took the champagne from the blond and smiled at her comment. "Is there any other way to drink?" Alice was a little picky when it came to her drinks, or fancy about it. She always preferred those fancy glasses for some reason. According to her it had to do something with taste... Once the brunette got two glasses for them and returned to the table, she heard Bela, and smiled softly at her. "...I know. I get it." Truth was that she did, well to the point of what they knew of each other. "Just remember I'm still your boss..." said Alice as she poured each a glass and glanced at the blond with that soft smile, taking a seat. In a way, apology accepted. Alice wasn't going to keep poking at that. They did have an unique friendship, an odd one.

x████████xx████████xBela let her shoulders drop, having squared them when she came in. She could relax more easily now, be more loose; in the good way. "Well, we could drink it from a plastic cup... but that seems so high school!" Bela answered, shaking her head in disgust. Alcohol should be ingested from fancy glasses, like Alice just said. And she was right, of course. She was Bela's boss, and you should never disagree with your boss.
"How could I forget? Especially, when you keep flashing that eye patch of power in my face, oh, just about every other day of the week." Bela teased, leaning back in the chair. "I need to get me one of those..." Bela commented, watching Alice pour in the drinks. So much crap that Bela gave Alice for her eye patch, and here she was, commenting on getting one for herself. It did make Alice look more sophisticated and poised, not at all like a pirate or cyclops as Bela liked to comment.x████████xBELA JAMES x████████xTHE MISGUIDED HEART

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ Indeed... that suggestion was just wrong. Alcohol in plastic? N.E.V.E.R. Silly rules, but everyone had them. Alice couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Bela. Very odd way to put it... but hey it worked. However, her smile dropped at the mention on getting one for herself. "As long as you can still see, it's fine. You wouldn't want mine" replied the woman as she sat down and leaned back on her seat. As natural as Alice had managed to make that eye-patch look on her, it was for a reason. And having an eye-patch was all fun and games, unless you really needed it. That casual smile still hadn't returned to Alice, as she took the glass to her hand, swirling the champagne for a moment before tasting the drink.

x████████xx████████x"Oh no, other than my eyes, blue is not my color." Bela nodded at Alice's comment, like she would actually get one! Hah, that'll be the day! As much as it made Alice look better, it also got very much unwanted attention from strangers, who didn't have the common courtesy to know it was rude to stare. Bela wasn't as sophisticated as Alice when it came to her drinks, taking a quick swig as soon as she was handed her drink. For some reason, she felt very girly... eh, who cares. She needed to be reminded that she was a girl every now and then, not some emotional punching bag for everybody else.
"Oh, but it suits you well enough!" Bela answered quickly, nodding at Alice. Her cup hovering mere inches from her lips, "Just like those dresses you wear..." she started, but took another swig, cutting herself off. It was intentional, however, because she knew Alice was very particular of the way she dressed. It was very... unique. Just like the woman was. "Hey, do you think we'll still be doing this when we get older?" Bela asked seriously, "You know, all of this?" she continued, having a rather deep thoughtful look. She wasn't even sure if she really wanted to hear the truth.
If she was to be honest, Alice probably could, but Bela wouldn't. Alice could very much just get new strippers and continue with business like always, but once Bela got older and... oh god, it was hard to just think about it! Maybe Bela should have made a move on Gaston, otherwise, she'd probably end up an old lonely spinster. That is, if she didn't die early, that is. Which she much preferred; to be remembered as young and beautiful even to her death bed.
I wish we could stay young forever...x████████xBELA JAMES x████████xTHE MISGUIDED HEART

____________________________________________________________ - Alice 'Madame Mia' Ladd - ____________________________________________________________ Alice's original thoughts had her drifting off, as her eyes focused on her drink. However, she had managed to catch Bela's question. Honestly, she had to raise an eyebrow and think on it. "I don't know" she finally said after a moment. "I mean, five years ago I was the stripper of a club in a city. Now I own my own..." It really was something to think on. Right now, it had seemed like a good idea, and so far the House had been doing well. But five years from now? Ten? Fifteen? Twenty? Who really knew? "Maybe... It's tough to visualize something" replied Alice, taking another swig, albeit more sophisticated, and kept thinking on it.
