Rae didn't know what was going on with this guy, he seemed to be holding so much back and here she thought that he was just some normal rich boy. She sighed softly to herself "Alright that sounds fine" but wasn't going to mention the fact that he looked like he would rather get the shit kicked out of him then her meet his father. She had heard stories about his family but she never thought they were that bad. She had to remind herself that this was just a mutual agreement to pretend to date so it wasn't like there was anything serious that was going to come out of it. Though she hoped her mother didn't plan on it cause there was no way that she could be with anyone unless they had the same genetic make-up. She wanted to groan and ran a hand through her hair, she wanted to make her mind stop running with worries. In this life she was nothing more then a creature looking for her soul mate and she had already come to terms with never finding him. "Ok...so what now?" She said trying to get her mind away from everything that brought her down. They had discussed their parent's and the cotillion so what else was there that they needed to touch base on "Oh...um a little awkward asking this but where is the 'relationship' right now...I mean have we held hands, kissed...just so that we are both on the same page"

Fine? Uh yea she wouldn't be saying that if she met Lorne's father. He had to hold back a mocking laugh at the words but he only raised his eyebrows. She didn't need to know that in his private life he was a blood thirsty demon where as in his social life he was a charming and sophisticated man with tanned skin and grey just staring to show on his hair. He was sure now that he could make it so that his father would behave. He would just have to make sure he fed right before and had forgotten about the deal or at least make his father give him some extra time.
What now? That was a good question. He opened his mouth to say something but Rae had began speaking again. Lorne smirked, it might be a little awkward but it was fun in a way. "Since we just met yesterday kissing would be a bit much but by the middle of next week I'd say we had that down. Holding hands though definitely. I think our 'relationship' should go at a rather medium pace. Not too fast not to slow. So that our parents will be satisfied with how things are going. Too fast and they might try to butt in, too slow and they might get suspicious you know what I mean." He was almost sounding as if he was in a business meeting and was proposing a new plan of action though his motions were more fluid than earlier as he sat up, elbows on his knees and head turned towards Rae, his dark hair falling gracefully in front of his eyes. "Do you agree or disagree? Have any input?" He questioned, a slight smile on his face as he tried not to show his worry though it was present in his eyes but only a bit as it shifted when ever he looked around to gauge their surroundings.

She liked the way he was thinking and was glad that he didn't say there were kissing already, then that might prompt her mother into asking for a picture while they kissed. She turned her whole body to face him now "I think that a medium pace it just right" she said and wondered if they should hold hands or not just so that when they are asked or seen that it won't feel so strange. She shook her head a bit getting the thought out and her eyes lit up. That was the look, she could remember that look for years. Remus had the same look last night and Lorne had it too. There was no way it was just coincidence, a smile grew on her face but she wasn't going to say anything.
Rae opened her mouth to give him more input but her phone started going off, she groaned at the ringtone knowing that it was her mother. "I'm so sorry, just one sec" she said and pulled out her phone. She placed it to her ear "Hello mother" she said trying to sound happy that her mother was calling "yes...we are out right now...I know mother...yes" she listened to her rant on and on, the women could talk for days and not get tired "I will see what I can do...alright I'll see you tonight" she hung up the phone quickly before her mother started talking again and shoved her phone i her pocket "Again I'm so sorry about that"

Lorne was glad that Rae agreed with him and a quick smile flitted on his lips and then was gone. This might be easier than he thought though surprises almost always happened, no matter how much you planned and thought that everything was perfect. So he knew something was going to come up eventually to make their plan rocky but he already had a big speed bump to get over without destroying everything. Based on the way Rae reacted to the ring tone, Lorne guessed that it was someone she did not like talking to. He just nodded his head she apologized, not really caring as it wasn't as if they were in the middle of anything important.
It was her mother and Lorne couldn't help but grin at how she had reacted and talked to her. By the sound of it, she really didn't have that great of a relationship with her mother. When she was off the phone, Lorne wiped the grin off of his face though there was humor in his eyes. "Don't worry about it." He said and shrugged his shoulders, his body still moving gracefully due to his apprehension about his father.

It was hard for her not to just blurt out asking him if he was Remus but still she had a slight doubt that she was just pushing for it. "Alright well I'm sure that you have other things to get to and I have to...ugh do some more dress shopping" she said trying not to puke herself at the thought of going back to the stores to try on dresses. "Unless...you'd actually like to hang out today?" She asked cause they never talked about hanging out maybe even just as friends. All her friends were at B's house probably smoking and drinking and she really didn't feel like getting wasted.

Apparently Rae didn't like dress shopping. Lorne smirked at that but her next question made him smile. "I don't have anything else planned for today. It could be fun so why not. I can drive too." He was ready and willing to hang out with her today. For one it would cement them in as in a 'relationship' and they could get to know each other better for when they met each others parents though Lorne was hesitant about her getting to know him then again he didn't have to tell her that he was only partially human now did he. This definitely could be fun.

She was a little shocked when he said he was ok with hanging out but she held herself so she wouldn't give too much away. It could be fun hanging out with someone who wasn't always high or wanting to go to bars. "Alright" she nodded her head and got to her feet. Her legs were beginning to fall asleep just sitting there so it was nice to stand for a moment. "Well I've got to find some kind of dress to wear to the cotillion if you don't mind coming along as well" she actually didn't know what kind of guy he was, he might not like having to go to girlie stores but he was sophisticated so maybe he didn't mind. She looked back at him and realized that she was just labeling him and she hated it when people did that to her so she should probably give him a chance and actually get to know him.

Dress shopping? He smirked she hadn't seemed to happy about it earlier so he figured that he might be able to make it interesting for her. "Dress shopping hmm...Sounds fine to me as long as I can help you choose." Lorne commented on the matter and stood himself, stretching his lean body, a bit of his tummy showing as his sweater rose with his arms. He shook his body loose some, gaining back the ability to control how predatorial he wanted to look so now he moved like a normal human, well mostly. His eyes glanced over at Rae and then in front of him. "Where would you like to go?" He questioned, figuring that he could drive. His mind wandered for a moment about what kind of dress she would look good in and pictured it in his mind before pushing that away as it got a little too...risque if you will. "If you don't have a place in mind, I know of somewhere that is pretty nice." Hopefully she wouldn't ask about how he knew. His mother tended to take him shopping with him when he was younger so he had a good eye of what looked good on a woman and plus they fitted the dress for you there to make sure it was a perfect fit. It was a bit pricey but Lorne was thinking about paying for it well only if Rae was nice. Then again he had just forgotten that she was wealthy as well and could probably pay for it herself. But hey he was a nice guy if you were nice in return.

Rae's head turned sharply at Lorne's movement and she tried to hide it as best as she could. Everyone in her family had really good eye sight and sometimes it was a bother for her to hide it. Not to mention several other things that just 'ran' in her genes. She sighed a little bit and forced herself to look away from him. He defiantly had a nice body that she could stare at but she would maintain a professional head about this matter. "I don't have any place in particular that I'd like to go so if you have any suggestions that would be nice...especially if the dresses aren't your normal...you no frilly lace types. I hate those" she said with a small smile. She was probably coming off a bit tomboyish to him but that was just her. She was girlie but to an extent, she liked to wear make-up and do her hair sometimes but not all the time like some girls.

"No frills or lace?! Aww... but they would make you look so adorable." He teased, Lorne's face amused and holding a smile. That he could do. This place would have something that would look perfect on her, and Lorne already had an idea of what kind of style would look best. Nothing showy but it would definitely make her stand out in the crowed. Not in a bright colors kind of way either. She would just be looking her best and Lorne thought that was better than anything showy. "The place I have in mind will be perfect then." Lorne then responded, this time serious and he began walking towards his car, glad he his his instruments in the trunk. He motioned for her to follow, his pace slow so that she could catch up with him easily. Lorne wasn't rushed at all but he just felt as if he could make Rae smile with the place that he was going to take her. She may not like dress shopping but these people catered for you. If you asked for a number three from McDonald's they would get it. Lorne knew, he tried when he was little not believing that they catered to your every whim as their sign said. And sure enough they brought him his meal and he received a good lecture from his mother in manners. All that aside, Lorne would be able to find out what color she was going to be wearing so that he could match her. You have to match your date otherwise it didn't look right, least that was what he had always been told.

"Ugh, no please" she said at his comment cause she didn't like the way that he said it but followed him anyways. She was kind of happy that she didn't have to walk for a little bit. "Good and I hope that this is the last shop that I have to go to cause then everything is done for the cotillion and then I can relax for a little bit and maybe have some fun" she caught up to him and found a nice steady pace walking next to him. "So what kind of car do you drive?" She wondered if he threw his money around or if he tried to be normal.

Letting out a light laugh at her reaction, Lorne's eyes were bright. He didn't think that this would be that bad now. "If this isn't the last shop you go I will eat my shorts" Lorne commented as he saw his blue painted Roush mustang come into view. It wasn't all that out there, it only cost on average was around $32,000. His of course had cost more but he had added on to his car though it wasn't anything super expensive. Not like a Ferrari or anything. That was his fathers.
"This is what I drive." Lorne told Rae as he walked up to it, his hand running gently against the dark blue paint, being sure not to leave smudges. He wasn't going to open Rae's door for her. Lorne himself found that he liked opening his own doors which is why he liked driving so much, his drivers felt lucky as they got paid the same whether or not he used them often or not. "2010, Roush with leather interior and a V8 with 435 horse and 400 torque. Not that you probably care that much. I haven't bothered adding to the engine yet though if you happened to wonder." Two white racing strips went down the hood of the car, over the roof, and off the back end. He wasn't sure if Rae cared at all but she asked. He hadn't bothered working on the engine in his free time, he left that for his favorite, the green corvette he had driven last night

Rae laughed now at his comment, it would be funny to see him eat it shorts and looked forward to seeing it cause she was sure that they would be going to other stores. He didn't know how picky she was especially when it came to girlie stuff. She stopped for a split second when they came to his car, not bad she figured a car much like this for him but by the looks of him he had to own another car. This one wasn't flashy enough but it was beautiful "Not bad though I prefer the midnight green '69 Corvette with a L88 427 engine" she said walking up to the passenger side of the car. It really wasn't a bad car but wondered if he had another car and what that one was. Maybe she could coax him into telling her and letting her see it. "So where is this shop?"

Lorne just about choked when she mentioned the car she preferred. He chuckled some at her words though and a mischievous smirk formed on his face, yes this was going to be fun. He didn't mention that his favorite car was his midnight green beauty but she would find that out eventually. Quite interesting, had she seen him driving it last night? He didn't think so but it didn't matter. Stepping into the car, he waited for Rae, the black leather seats soft and the car still warm from the drive earlier. He turned on the car and flipped the music off, though it was a CD of his bands most recent songs. Lorne always liked to pick out flaws and try and fix them before their next performance. You could call him a perfectionist but he just wanted to be the best he could be, along with his band mates.
Hoping that Rae hadn't heard enough of his bands music, he turned the volume down and turned the radio from CD to FM. She could choose from the radio, just not his CD selection well. She could but Rae might laugh at his singing monks but hey if it connected with Lorne in some way he tended to like it. "The shop isn't far. It's down Flynn Street right off of Second." He gave her an answer, the basic area that it was. "The name of it is Jazabell's Treasures. Not the greatest name personally but I think you might actually like it. That is if they haven't changed since last year.." Lorne hadn't gone shopping for suits in a long while, his mother had to drag him out last year to get some more after his old ones began to look bad compared to others. He loved the feeling of suit pants though they were comfortable and not as confining as jeans, but he knew he couldn't wear them out everywhere so he didn't.

She climbed into the car and waited for him to head off to the store then her ears picked up on the music. So he did like the band which meant he must have a connection to them. Her smirk never leaving her face "Hm...I think I've heard of that place" she was trying to think if she had ever gone into that store but she was drawing a blank. "So how do you know this place and what makes you think I'll find a dress there?" She turned her attention to him still trying to figure some things out.
