AU - This is What Happens When You Don't Keep People Informed
Lisa was enjoying her afternoon off. Julian's secretary had informed him he'd stepped out for a few hours, so she'd taken it upon herself to slip into something less comfortable but a lot more interesting, and wait for him in his office. She made herself comfortable, setting herself up in his chair with the laptop he'd gotten her, and a bottle of good scotch.

	Minnie does her best to clear her throat. "I wasn't... I wasn't going to say that. I'm sorry, Julian. You can have whomever you want; of course you can; I never minded that! I just... got confused." She trembles just slightly. It's a little humiliating in front of Lisa, but she can't pretend she has any dignity anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Julian rises from his chair and walks around the table, kneeling before Minnie. He kisses her forehead and looks into her eyes.

"Minnie, shh." he whispers, kissing her nose, then her lips.

"I forgive you, darling. I need to know you'll be okay, though. We're going to be fine, all three of us. Okay?" he asks, nodding at her.

"Now, we should eat dinner, because I'm very hungry. And I'm very /hungry/ as well." he says.

Then gets up and goes over to Lisa, kneeling before her as well.

"Are you really going to be okay?" he asks her.

Okay, even a scrooge like Lisa has to find that, in all it's myriad complications for her, a little endearing.

The mention of him being /hungry/ goes a long way to salve her frustrations as well.

As he settles in front of her, she reaches one hand out and puts it behind his head, tousling his hair before leaning in and giving him a hungry but brief kiss.

"If I weren't, then I wouldn't really be as interesting as you've billed me to be, would I?" She smirks. "I'll evolve." Which is her way of saying 'I can deal'.

	The little kisses are so soothing. Always have been. She nods earnestly to Julian and, as she moves on, gets herself eating and drinking better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Julian smiles, then rises, going back to his chair. He sits down again and goes back to work on his steak. "I missed you both." he says, when he's done chewing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you did, I-- we're fascinating." Lisa says, now actually enjoying her meal. "I missed you too, and I made good on that promise to get you a new bottle of Scotch." She raises her glass. "To whatever the hell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I," Minnie said quietly, smiling. Her throat's still recovering, but her eyes are shining again. He forgives her. He still cares for her. Lisa confuses the hell out of her still, but everything is going to be okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now that we're all doing well again, do you two have plans tonight?" Julian asks between bites. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing but free time and a dry spell to quench." Lisa smiles. She looks at Minnie, giving her what she hopes looks like a polite nod. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie nods politely. "Likewise," she says, working at finishing her food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was thinking we could all sit on the couch and watch a movie or two with our free time. How does that sound?" Julian asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Four Days Later your_talents 2011-08-12 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"Whose couch do you prefer?" Lisa inquires. "I've got a few that I've been meaning to watch. 'Lust, Caution', 'American Gangster', 'Hot Fuzz', '300'... I'm fairly flexible though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Minnie notes that 2007 was apparently a banner year for movies Lisa planned to get around to. "I'd rather stay here than go anywhere else for it, but yes. That sounds nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan." Lisa continues with her meal. After a few more bites, she turns to Minnie. "So, can you tell me anything about yourself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Minnie is an exceptional dancer. She's been dancing since we were kids." Julian offers admiringly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. I can dance when I have to, but it's really impressive that you take it that seriously. I haven't really thrown myself into anything besides modeling yet, and the show, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Four Days Later yourtruecolors 2011-08-13 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Minnie smiled. "Thank you, Julian." To Lisa, she nodded politely. "The show sounds like it's doing very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)
