a little racey, a little dizzy
Who: Wolfe and Nicole
Where: Rick's
When: recently

The barristas all know Wolfe by sight now, always looking up as he enters the cafe and then automatically starting up his usual order with a series of whispers, like an all points bulletin being sent out. Wolfe just basks in the attention tonight, leaning on the counter as he waits for his coffee. It's just the start of evening, with the sun setting out the window.

A barrista places two coffee mugs in front of him with a silly smile. Wolfe flashes it back, charming and lingering, then puts a dollar in the tip jar and takes the coffee back to the table in the corner for Nicole. It's sort of starting to become their table, except Wolfe would rather die than admit that out loud.

"You owe me a dollar for the barrista's tip," he informed her casually, before taking a sip of his own order.

	"As if," Nicole replied, flipping through a magazine of guitars. "I still have a month of freebies since I got that paint out of your jacket." With a deep sigh she folded the magazine and took her mug, and with a smile, sipped it happily. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"We're halfway through January," Wolfe pointed out lazily, taking her magazine from her, glancing at it, and then tossing it away again with disinterest. "Your month of freebies is narrowing down to days, Alaska." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And your month of me not punching you in the face is narrowing down to days, York." She pulled the magazine out of his reach and flipped through it again, lazily. "Why are guitars so goddamn expensive?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:09 am UTC (link)
	"Not the face," Wolfe protested. "I'm too pretty to hurt. And guitars are expensive because you're going to music school. Drop out, peddle the streets for a while, you'll be rolling in guitars. And homeless men." He shrugged, reaching for the magazine again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicole crumpled the magazine so she couldn't be tempted anymore. "Homeless men? I'd be okay with that," she shrugged. "Better company than you, probably." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:13 am UTC (link)
	Wolfe rolled his eyes grandly. "Oooh, I'd be hurt if that was even remotely possible. I better looking, better educated, and better for your reputation than any homeless man." He shrugged matter of factly. "Oh and the barrista wants in my pants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At least they're not arrogant sons of bitches," Nicole groaned, rolling her eyes at him. "And she definitely does not." Well, for her sake, she better not, thought Nicole. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not arrogant, I'm honest," Wolfe disagreed, ignoring her eyeroll. "And she definitely does too." He turned around briefly back to the counter to look at her, then back again to Nicole. "Just because you don't understand women doesn't mean the rest of us don't either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:19 am UTC (link)
	Nicole scoffed. "I think I understand my own gender," she argued. "She does not want you. She thinks you're a complete tool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:20 am UTC (link)
	"Your gender?" Wolfe echoed, raising an eyebrow. "You hardly even understand yourself, Alaska, don't lie. She wants me." He sighed and stretched vainly, satisfied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With narrowed eyes, Nicole stared at him. "First off, the barrista has a name. It's Cara. You should learn it if you're going to talk about her like this. And she's been with her boyfriend for two years. And, by the way, when she stares at your ass, York, she's lip reading." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:25 am UTC (link)
	Eyes still shut languidly, Wolfe shrugged. "I didn't say I was after her, did I? I'm not an asshole, I'm just not interested." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:29 am UTC (link)
	"You're such a waste of space," Nicole sneered, pulling out a magazine of violins and eyeing them greedily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:31 am UTC (link)
	"Because I'm not interested in every girl I see, I'm a waste of space?" Wolfe asked, opening his eyes. "What are you looking at now, anyway?" He leaned over the table to better see. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:33 am UTC (link)
	"You're a waste of space because you think every girl you see is interested in you," Nicole corrected, turning a page. "Violins," she replied, yawning and reaching for her mug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can't punish me just because girls think I'm hot," Wolfe protested, frowning at her, before tugging the magazine closer to look at it. "Oh, violins. You need a new one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:40 am UTC (link)
	Nicole glared at him and exclaimed, "No one thinks you're hot! You egotistical, self-centered--" She cut herself off with a deep sigh and composed herself. "No. I can't afford one. I just look at them and try not to miss it too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:43 am UTC (link)
	"Oh," Wolfe said shortly, a little puzzled. While his family may not have been millionaires, with a musician father, he'd never been without a new violin around to try. Not having one seemed almost other worldly to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:46 am UTC (link)
	Nicole twisted some hair around her finger while she stared at the violins, then pushed the magazine over to Wolfe. "Keep it away from me," she instructed him. "If I keep looking at them, I'll get whiny and needy, and that's never a fun sight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:49 am UTC (link)
	"You? Whiny? Never," Wolfe said with a grin, tossing the magazines onto a table nearby. "I refuse to believe that, Alaska." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Nicole leaned forward toward Wolfe, and whined to prove a point. "Yoooooooork, this tea is getting cooooooooold and I'm hungryyyyyyy, get me foooooooooooooood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-16 08:52 am UTC (link)
	Wolfe's lips twisted to one side, her whining already grating his nerves. To solve it, he reached out and put his hand over her mouth to muffle the noise. "Alright alright, point proven," he sighed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-16 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Grinning victoriously into his hand, Nicole flicked her tongue against his fingers to get him to remove his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wolfgang 2009-01-17 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Wolfe made a noise of shocked disgust, immediately pulling his hand away and standing up halfway to wipe her spit off on her shoulder. "Gross, Alaska. How old are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	baciocchi 2009-01-17 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"You liked it," Nicole retorted, curling up on the seat with her mug and grinning at him. "This singer's terrible," she commented, nodding her head at the stage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
