Thankfully there was leftover pizza in the fridge as Lorne had completely neglected breakfast, or rather lunch as it was afternoon now. It had taken almost twenty minutes for the guys to leave him alone after he had gotten there an hour late. They had practiced for almost an hour after that, taking a break when Lorne had started complaining of hunger. They didn't have time to go out anywhere, despite blondy's whining. Lorne swore that sometimes he was in the presence of children.
They got back to work after Lorne had stuffed himself with four pieces of pepperoni and bacon pizza. Not his favorite but close. They had tweaked the beginning of their new song and now they were working on the rest of it. These things took a lot of work and choreographing to get everything right. It took until about three until they had finally gotten something that worked and during their short break Lorne remembered that he was supposed to call Rae today. Telling his buds that he had to leave for the day, under the excuse that his parents wanted him to visit. They just laughed at him and let him go. Pulling away from the house, his cars motor hummed and he dialed Rae's number. Listening to it ring he waited, hoping she would pick up. This would be interesting.

Rae walked along the store lined streets, she liked to window shop at times but when it neared noon she had to decided where she wanted to eat. She wasn't feeling like anything to eat really but she knew it was always a good idea to get a salad. She walked into a nice little ma and pa restaurant and sat down at a booth near the corner. She liked ordering salads cause they didn't take long to make and she wouldn't have to be there long.
She sat there nibbling at her salad and her phone vibrated, she pulled it out of her pocket and looked at it. 'Hey B' she replied to his message and than she returned to her salad. He texted way to fast cause she was only through one bite when her phone when off. 'Hey Rae you wanna come hang *wink*' he sent her and she knew that meant that they were going to smoke up. She rolled her eyes 'no thank you, last night's high blew ass. You guys have fun' she told him and then put her phone back.
Rea had been able to finish her salad and was now on her way to do her errands, more dress shopping. She groaned to herself and then her phone started to go off again. She yanked it out of her pocket thinking it was B and noticed that there was no ID. She put the call through and placed the phone to her ear. "Hello" she said with some confidence wondering who was calling her.

He waited and almost didn't catch when Rae picked up, his eyes had been on the red light that he was stopped at. Damn it was a long one. "Hey, Rae. This is Lorne. You told me to call you today." He voice was pretty neutral sounded if not a bit distracted as the light turned green. Sure most people would complain about him driving while on the phone. He had a pretty good excuse though. His reactions were better than that of a normal human and he was only going about five miles.
He parked in a parking lot though as he was going to see if Rae wanted to meet somewhere today. It would be ideal to talk about these things in person though Lorne was a bit worried about her figuring out his other identity and he was just now getting started with having some fun. If she got mad at him and left than it would be all the better. Well maybe not but it didn't matter. He could keep up the facade of dating her and if it actually turned out to be anything serious than, he would worry. Well...That was a lie too. He was already worried about his father, but of course Lorne wasn't about to mention that to Rae. She wouldn't believe him for one and for two she would probably mess with him. She seemed like that kind of character.

Rae stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and had to breath, she never figured that he would call her this soon. She didn't have anything to say to him or think about anything they needed to talk about "Oh...hi...um...I guess you're calling so that we can discuss somethings" she said started walking again cause some people around her were mad that she had just stopped. She looked around trying to figure out where she was headed just a few seconds go. 'Dress shopping that's right' she thought to herself. Why had she forgotten that? She was so jumbled as of late and there really wasn't a cause for it. She normally was on her toes with everything and good at maintain a set schedule. "Should we meet up some where or would you rather just do this over the phone?" She asked stopping at a store that had some frilly white dresses in the front. Her stomach had already started turning at the sight and thought of having to try on dresses yet again.

She didn't sound too happy to hear from him and Lorne had to suppress a groan of annoyance. "I think it would be best if we talk about it person to person. It will help cement our 'relationship' in the minds of the public." It was obvious he was saying relationship sarcastically and wondered what Rae was doing right now. "We can meet at your choice of place. I'm not very good with the dating scene." It was true, Lorne tried to stay away from real relationships despite the fact that he knew how to talk to a woman and gauge what she liked. He didn't mind flirting around, he just didn't want anything serious though that was due to his own personal fear.
His fingers tapped the steering wheel and was glad that he had a brush in the car and then mentally cursed and dove down to the glove compartment. Letting out an audible sigh of relief he found a pair of glasses, the lenses just ordinary glass. Just in case he needed to meet one of his more formal acquaintances and he had his contacts in. He was dressed in name brand clothing which would hold up his status in the eyes of Rae, he hoped, and he could make his hair straight and less messy now with the brush. There now he looked more like the smart rich boy that everyone expected him to be. He checked himself over in the visors mirror before feeling like an idiot and slamming it shut.

She had to clamp her mouth shut when he said that he wanted to talk in person, what was wrong with talking on the phone. She let out a steady stream of air and looked around. There weren't that many placed around where she was at that they could meet up and it couldn't be that far cause she was on foot. "Um...how about Pheasant Park up town?" She questioned, that was only a bit out of her way but she would be able to walk there in a reasonable time if he set a time. She turned around and started to walk away from the store she was dreading going into so meeting up with Lorne wasn't all that bad cause it got her out of trying on dresses. Well maybe to get some fun out of it she could bring Lorne to try on dresses, it would make others think they were dating and she could get a sick sense of humor out of watching him groan and complain about be dragged to another dress store. She had to stop herself from laughing at that thought cause she was still on the phone with him but she couldn't help the smirk that was on her face.

"That sound great. Do you need to be picked up or anything? I'm about a five minute drive from there so I can go out of my way." He thought he could be polite to Rae though he hoped that she would be able to get there himself, his instruments were in the back seat and he should put them in the trunk then he about slapped himself on the head. He was in a parking lot of course he move them now. Getting out of the car and rolling his eyes he did just that, knowing that the sounds of doors shutting would go through the phones speakers though he didn't care. Getting back into his car he started the engine, it started smoothly and growled to life.

She nodded her head like he could see her and then laughed softly to herself. "No no that's ok. I'm only a blocks away myself so I should be there soon" she said and picked up her pace a little bit. She was a little bit further then he was so she was going to have to sprint about a block or so to make it there when he did "alright so there is a bench on the south side of the park near the hill. I'll meet you there" She said and didn't wait for a reply as she hung up her phone and shoved it in her pocket. She barely made the light to cross the street and sprinted down the sidewalk barely missing a couple of people. She was going to be at least a minute behind him cause by the sound of it he was getting into a car though there were a few more slams of doors then she figured there should be.

"Alright." Lorne responded even though he knew she had hung up. Pulling out onto the street he made his way to the designated meeting spot. He got there quickly and parked on the street. Getting out he found the bench and sat down, looking around. It was a pleasant enough place. The street was a little bit aways and there were a few people walking about. Leaning back, he closed his eyes, his body was relaxed and his mood calm. He was glad that he wasn't hungry and could just enjoy the nice day. While waiting for Rae his mind wandered to his father's words. He truly did not know what to do about this dilemma. He would have to gain her trust in a week and possible show her his other side. There was another possibility that churned his stomach. He could force her to let him bind her but that was messy and something he refused to do. Never ever would he do something like that. He didn't really want to bind her anyways. That much romantic physical contact within a week might be a bit much though just a kiss would suffice if done right he supposed.

She slowed as she came to the park and as she walked into the park she pulled out her phone to check the time. So she was a few minutes late but hey she did ok for being on foot. She walked a little slower so she could catch her breath before she got to the bench. Rae looked around the park and even though it was only midday there were already a lot of people out with their kids. She made her way to the bench and saw Lorne sitting there. She stopped and studied him for a little bit, it had to be him. They were both the same stature and had the same hair color and cut. She sighed a little bit and wondered why he hadn't mentioned anything to her. But now she was regretting telling him that she wanted to find her mystery man when he was sitting in front of her. How could they be the same person? One was so cool and rebellious and he was a rich boy. She shook the thought from her head cause she figure she was just assuming and they probably weren't the same person. Rae walked up to him "Sorry I'm late, took a bit longer to walk here then I thought"

Lorne felt eyes on him though he didn't open his eyes. They didn't feel threatening so he wasn't worried about it. At the sound of Rae's voice however, Lorne cracked open his dark green eyes and looked at her. "Don't worry about it. I was driving after all." Lorne seemed a bit distant as he spoke but he wasn't really to concerned about coming off as such instead he was hoping to make it so that she would put a further gap in between Lorne and his other half Remus.
Opening his eyes all the way, Lorne gave her a smile and sat up straight. "So what would you like to talk about? We can go somewhere else if you want as well." His voice seemed indifferent but there was a spark in his eyes that even Lorne himself could not quench. He was curious about this girl though he wanted to keep his distance and his instincts would not allow him to just walk away from her. He just hoped that she wouldn't hit all of his predatorial turn ons. He was controlled by smells that were mostly only noticed in your subconscious. Pheromones and the scent of fear were strong to him. The scent of himself mingled on another also was an aphrodisiac of sorts. He just hoped that he would be able to figure out a way to get out of this unexpected turn of events. Lorne stayed seated however, not knowing if she wanted to stay or go.

She wavered for a moment and then took a seat on the bench. She still couldn't bring herself to deny that Lorne and Remus looked so similar. She had to tear her gaze away from him and looked out at the park "You're the one that wanted to get together and discuss things. Oh and my mother said that she can't wait for you to come over to dinner" she cringed even at her own words. Having to seem so in love in front of her mother even if it was just dinner. It was going to be the longest dinner of her life. "Have you ever heard of a guy named Remus?" She asked looking back to Lorne to gauge his reaction. Maybe she could get more information from Lorne if he did know the guy or the band.

Well that wasn't too surprising, Lorne figured when Rae mentioned that her mother wanted him over for dinner. He rolled his eyes some, mouth upturned in a slight smile. "I think my schedule is pretty open so just call me up if I am going to be joining you for dinner. Oh and when is that party you were talking about yesterday" Lorne was hoping that is wasn't going to on the night of his concert. Then again Rae would probably want to skip out on the dance so Lorne wasn't overly worried about it.
His mind fluttered over to what they should talk about. He guessed they should figure out how fast or slow their relationship was going, what they had in common, what drew them to each other. Internally sighing, Lorne was beginning to see how troublesome this was going to be but it would be worth it for a while. He hoped at least.
His thoughts were cut short however when Rae asked him if he knew a guy named Remus. Before he could stop himself a slight grimace formed on his face but vanished quickly. "The only Remus I know of is in a street band well unless you count the historical and mythological figure of Remus, the twin of Romulus. Who was killed in the disputes over where to build Rome." He turned to Rae, trying to play off indifference. He wasn't ready for her to find out about his other life, not yet at least. Though his heart was beating quickly from the unexpected question, Lorne's outward appearance seemed cool and collected. His eyes however seemed to be a gateway into his soul as there was a slight fear in the back of his eyes.

She watched his reaction but she didn't get much from him and she didn't like the way he sort of bashed on the band that she like. Rae took a deep breath and thought over his questions "I figured that you would make up an excuse to get out of dinner with my mother...you're into this whole thing aren't you..." she accused him with a laugh, she didn't really mean it but the subject was getting too serious for her likely. "Well I'll see when my mother wants to do the dinner then and as for the cotillion it's not for two months" she told and was thankful it was still a bit away. She turned back to looking out into the park, part of her wanted it to be true. That Lorne and Remus were the same people but then again she didn't cause then that would mean that she actually like Lorne and her mother would be too happy with that. "Well how'd your parent's take the new?"

Lorne chuckled some when she said that he was into this whole thing. She had no idea how much he would rather it just stop now. A mistake on his part though not completely. His father could be easier to handle than his mother sometimes, rarely, but he could probably weasel his way out of it. "I wouldn't say I am enjoying it but I don't mind the company." He leaned his head back and stared up at the sky through the naked tree branches. It was bright blue today, crisp as the cool air. "Just let me know the day and time." He added and wondered if his parents would want Rae to come over. He knew that his father wanted to meed her next week and he shivered slightly at the memory, for a split second wondering who that woman had been.
He turned his gaze to Rae, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. His dark green eyes and near black lashes contrasted greatly with his pail skin, though his glasses reflected the sky and tree branches. "Uh my mother was ecstatic and my father--" He wasn't quite sure what to tell her about his father, Lorne was worried about it but figured he could put a half truth in there. "My father wants to meet you next week." There was a pained expression on his face and his body was tense as if he was on edge, just talking about his father right now made his angry and scared. He turned his eyes back to the sky and took a deep breath wanting to calm himself.
