What she was doing ordering a drink at the bar of the fabulous Pierre Hotel, even Gia wasn't sure. Her home was all the way in Brooklyn and, yet, here she was in Manhattan. She didn't understand it but something had compelled her to go out tonight and the famed hotel was where her intuition led her. With a wink from the bartender, Gia smiled and headed towards one of two ballrooms, her French 75 in hand. French 75, a great cocktail consisting of gin, champagne, lemon, orange and marachino cherry. It packed a hell of a punch. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful. Useless fact number 87: the infamous tango scene in Scent of a Woman was filmed in the very ballroom she was standing in. She'd been to this ballroom many times before, due mostly to the fact that it was apart of movie history. It really was just breath taking. Taking a sip of her drink, she took a seat at a table at the bars near the floor. Gia sighed softly, watching the numerous couples dancing and enjoying the soft music of the band. All the while, she wished she could finally dance on the famed floor. Outfit: Fancy Fancy Music: Stardust - Artie Shaw Tags: Leon!

Leon walked down stairs and saw in the bar a brilliant figure using a black long dress, he was wearing very nice clothes like if he were also going to this kind of elegant party, to dance... he thought. But that wasn't Leon's plan until he saw the girls face drinking, it was Gia!, holy mother of god! how long did he stopped seeing her at school? it seemed so long. He walked to this ballroom but stayed in a dark corner of the bar, he asked for a whiskey, and stared looking at Gia, he knew what was coming so he wanted to the show. A man walked to her, very dissimulate, but oh come on Leon was a man too, he knew what he was after, he wanted to ask Gia to dance, he could barely read his mind, poor human he thought, like if he had a chance a clearly smirk came to his face after that thought. He drank all of his glass of whiskey and walked to Gia, he just stood behind this guy that was now asking her to dance. "Would you like to dance with me?" the red head said with a brackets smile and acne in all his face, his voice was almost annoying far from funny, Leon wanted to laugh but he kept serious and touched the guy's shoulder with a finger. "Mmm Excuse me, She's with me" Leon said slowly and kindly but with a humor touch of get the hell out funny random boy, once the boy left a small but shinny smile came to his mouth "Hello Gia".

The man, if could even be called that, was annoying, to say the very least. Not only was his suit out of place, making him look like a slob, but he had acne and obnoxiously bright red hair. He looked like every other bumbling hormonal driven teenaged boy she went school with. Except for one thing: he was not, in the least, bit attractive. And now he was asking her to dance!
God, someone get Raggety Ron away from me, she thought.
"Mmm, excuse me, she's with me," Leon said slowly and kindly but with a humor touch of 'get the hell out funny random boy'. Gia bite her lip and hung her head because once the boy left a small but shinny smile came to his mouth "Hello, Gia."
It had been months since she'd seen Leon. The swimming pool was the last time if she remembered correctly. He looked good then and, boy, did he look just as good now. And the distinct smell of L'Occitane Cade wafting off him didn't hurt either. Thank goodness he showed up when he did, otherwise she'd have to move from her table. And there was no way she was going to lose her perfect table because of some no account crater face looking to get into her pants. Or dress, as it were.
Grinning, she offered him the seat across from her. "Leon," she greeted with a light nod. "Thank you for that, but you didn't have to." Taking a sip of her drink, she smirked and asked, "So, what brings you here? Please, don't let me keep you if you have a...prior engagement," she decided was the best way to put it, "waiting upstairs." Turning her eyes back to the floor, she smiled and chuckled.

"Leon," she greeted with a light nod. "Thank you for that, but you didn't have to." Leon was glad of helping her friend, and also he was happy to see her again, after all they had lived moments extremely passionate... and, well very good moments. But the last one he could remember of was the swimming pool... he kind of blushed instantly with that thought, oh god in this things i wish i was a full vampire and not blush... lame but he was going to enjoy being there and talking to her was the best way to have a happy and peaceful night.
"Oh i didn't have to? want me to call him back?" he said almost laughing with a joker face, pointing over his shoulder to the guy that was drinking fruit juice in the dark corner of the ballroom, poor guy he seemed about to cut his veins with lettuce.
"So, what brings you here? Please, don't let me keep you if you have a...prior engagement, waiting upstairs." Leon thought for a second and then he realized that he had a meeting with a friend that wasn't on the Parthenon, he was visiting NY and Leon promised to see him while he was in there, but god, that friend could wait more time, after all time was something they had to waste in something, so one night wouldn't do the difference. "Oh yeah i have something to do but... excuse me" Leon took his smart phone and called this guy "Hey, its me Leo, dude something came up, i wont go, but i will call you later for the business we have in common, sure sure, OK, see ya" he hang out the phone and keep it into his bag on his jacket. "Done, I'm all yours tonight" he said rising his hands.

Was he blushing? No, impossible, she thought, probably just a trick of the light. After all, men like Leon Grecco didn't blush.
"Oh, I didn't have to? Want me to call him back?" Eyes widened, she immediately said no and frantically shook her head. He was barely containing his laughter, pointing over his shoulder to Raggety Ron. He was looking rather sullen in the corner, drinking fruit juice -- how manly, she thought sarcastically.
Staring him down, brow raised in challenge, she waited for his response. Her comment may have been a little below the belt but what else was she supposed to think? Here was Leon, wandering the best hotel in Manhattan, looking sexy as hell -- why else would he be in the hotel except to be with a woman? Taking a sip of her drink, she waited patiently for a response.
Leon excused himself while he took out his phone and made a call. Gia patiently waited and listened. He told the guy, obviously if he was calling him "dude, that something came up -- hmm, no that's too easy, she thought -- and he wouldn't be able to go to whatever they had planned and would call him later. What did "business in common" mean? Although she was curious, she knew she didn't know Leon well enough to ask.
Besides, she had already partially insulted him by not-so-subtly claiming he had a date waiting to be screwed in a suite upstairs. She didn't need to ruin things by asking personal questions she shouldn't be. Not so early in the evening, at least.
"Done, I'm all yours tonight," he said rising his hands. Gia slowly smirked and looked at him over the rim of her glass.
"All mine?" she echoed, setting the glass down. She slowly circled it's rim with her fingers and looked at him. "Hmm...and what do you propose I do with you then?" She crossed her legs, to better control the familiar urge rising up, and waiting for what was sure to be a very Leon response.

Leon finally got some of his meeting canceled to have the night free, and stay more time with her friend Gia Alpert, well of course they had this moments where they weren’t just friends, but that was part of the past, he considered her as a friend and since he meet Lilly, he just couldn’t think of another girl that wasn’t her, he could say that he would love to her boyfriend, something more formal, but he didn’t knew how would lily’s friends would take this, he once had his things with callie, so with gia, and almost Olivia, oh dear, poor leon, he just don’t wanted to be like that John, that had all his ex girlfriends around him to catch him in a bad situation… "All mine? "Hmm...and what do you propose I do with you then?" Leon suddenly gasped and then smiled, he didn’t knew what to do, so he just let the words flow out off his mouth “Well you can star telling me in what are you into now, I haven’t see you in a while, maybe if your answers convince me I can ask you to dance” he smirked and then called the guy with the drinks and asked for a whiskey, and looked at Gia to see if you wanted something else.

“Well you can start telling me in what are you into now, I haven’t see you in a while, maybe if your answers convince me I can ask you to dance.”
Leon smirked and called the waiter over, getting a refill on his whisky. She told the man she wanted a refill on her French 75 and turned back to Leon. Something was off with him, he was different. She wasn’t sure what was going on but, from the vibe she got, he wasn’t after anything beyond some conversation. It was hard to resist one’s natural hormonal instincts but Gia was just going to have to try. Think of Adam, she thought to herself. Smiling, she took a breath and thought about his question.
“Well, not much has changed for me. School’s the same, except for a few new...interesting teachers. Some new furniture in my house, dog in still hyperactive. Oh, I made Editor on the school paper!” she told him, proudly, thanking the waiter as he handed her, her drink. Taking a sip, she thought about it briefly before telling him. “And I went to Greece recently. But enough about me. What's going on with you?”

Leon thank the Waiter and took his whiskey and drank a few drops of it, and then left it in the table to listen to Gia's adventures, she said something about interesting teachers, and he just didn't noticed something in particular, just the fact that seemed that Goodwin and Demonte had vanished from the earth, instead they had this professor Uriel, he kinda felt a good environment about him, like some kind of peace around him. And for what she said she was an editor of the newspaper well he already knew that when he went to the Consilium to ask to be a writer, he heard rumors about a play, so he may ask to help to write the script, but that was just an idea to waste time and to be more poetic and impress Lilly. Oh what do mens to get womans hearts, they do nothing more than stupid things.
"Wow Gia, I agree! Greece is definitely the cot of life, I was tempted to go there just to study philosophy, but i felt more attracted to sciences, and here I am" he smiled and drank a few drops again to continue "I'm a writer in the Consilium, hoping to get a change and write the script of the play of this year, and about the teachers thing, I haven't seen Demonte or Goodwin, i think they ran together, you know, like together" he winked and eyes and laughed a little, he remembered when they were at the buss and he was with Callie and Demonte yelled at them because he was jealous, Oh what was with those times, he missed them...? well he had better things to think of right now. "So many memories, don't you think? I should ask now Gia... are u dating someone or you have already a boyfriend? I mean because i don't want to cause you troubles with...and To be aware if someone wants to stab me in the back" he said with a small smirk and then pooped a big smile. Then he took her hands and hold them tight.

"...but I felt more attracted to sciences, and here I am." Gia smiled and shook her head. Leon into science? Who would've thought? Somehow, looking at Leon, she just couldn't see it at all. But, then again, people had a way of surprising you. And was a fact that rang particularly true with Leon.
"I'm a writer in the Consilium, hoping to get a change and write the script of the play of this year..."
"You better write some good stuff, or I'm gonna have you covering the cafeteria's lunch menu everyday," she threatened playfully. "And I'm really excited about the Spring Play coming up. Not sure what were doing yet but I can't wait! So do a good job on that, too!"
"...And about the teachers thing, I haven't seen Demonte or Goodwin, i think they ran together, you know, like together" he winked and laughed a little.
"It really wouldn't surprise me if they did," she replied, joining him in a little laugh and drink. "I had heard some pretty interesting stories about the two of them, if you know what I mean." She winked for the added effect
"Are you dating someone or you have already a boyfriend? I mean because i don't want to cause you troubles with...and To be aware if someone wants to stab me in the back" he said with a small smirk, a big smile, and took her hands in his. Normally, this gesture would've sent her heart fluttering. But, since Greece, she felt nothing. Well, nothing besides his natural body heat.
"Um, actually, yes, I d--well, no, I--I mean..." Sighing frustratedly, she took her hand from his and rubbed the back of her neck. "It's really complicated," she stated. "I want to be with him and he definitely wants to be with me but...um, his job," she decided was the best half-truth to tell, "makes it pretty hard, if not impossible...if that makes any sense."

"Um, actually, yes, I d--well, no, I--I mean...I want to be with him and he definitely wants to be with me but...um, his job," Gia could barely speak, damn what was happening to her? was everything alright? he could give her love advices, he knew girls pretty cool, but he was in her same situation,, well something very similar. He crossed his arms In front of his chest, and leaned in his chair with a serious face, trying to imagine Gia's boyfriend, or well kinda boyfriend.
"Sounds...like he needs to be discharged, dont ya think?" Leon said with a smile trying to make things easier for Gia, he knew how this love thing was, he had only fell in love 2 times, in the first one, the love of his life, Barbara was murdered by a vampire jealous of his happiness, and his second love, or at least that was he was thinking of.. was miss Lilly van allen...
"But your happy right?" he said now turning his bitter smile to a happy one, he couldn't be more happy for her, she had this light in her eyes than made her look even more beautiful.

Thoroughly embarrassed by what she said, or lack thereof, Gia sighed and tried to smile. It was fake and she knew that Leon could tell. Just by the wy he crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, by the look on his face. It was pretty obvious what he thought.
"Sounds...like he needs to be discharged, dont ya think?" Leon said with a smile.
"No!" she said immediately and frantically shook her head. "No. No, I could never do that. It would kill him. And I wouldn't fair much better," she quietly confessed. Realizing how she sounded, like some battered girlfriend, Gia mentally cursed herself for her stupidity.
"But your happy right?"
"I'd be happier if..." If we could actually be together, she thought bitterly. Shaking her head, she smiled brightly at Leon and rolled her eyes. "Ignore me. I'm not really in a good mood tonight. I thought coming here would brighten me up, but...not so much. Present company excluded, of course."

Gia seemed to be out of place, even if she looked so god damn good in that dress, beautiful as always, but something was messing with her, and about the lifestyle of the Parthenon, he knew something was going wrong, eventually he would figure it out better, but for now, he felt the necessity of being close to her and give her some support as a good friend, they had moments together, like very not friends moment, but well that was past and now she was her friend, so he needed to be there for her.
"You know you can count with me , right?" he said trying to make her smile, but after all that was truth. "Fight for him, trough anyone trough anything" he said and then paused to look at the dance floor, he saw a couple dancing a slow song, both very in love and he suddenly said " The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return" and then he glanced at Gia and smiled "thats such a good quote, and I'm not saying it because I'm playing Christian in the next play" he said playfully and sarcastically

She smiled wistfully and shook her head, almost amused. "I always know I can count on you, Leon. You're one of the few people that hasn't left me." Yet, the voice in the back of her mind whispered.
"Fight for him, trough anyone trough anything" he said and then paused to look at the dance floor.
While he was distracted, watching couples in love dancing, she let his words sink in. She wished more than anything that she could fight for Adam, but he was making things extremely difficult. He was so mysterious, always appearing out of nowhere and then going back to nowhere. Most times, he left her rather hot and bothered and while she didn't mind that, because she knew he'd be back eventually, it was how long he was gone that bothered her. And it wasn't that fact that he didn't call or write -- point in fact, she never even saw him holding a phone, oddly enough -- it was just that...she was lonely. Whenever he was there, her life would suddenly light up and then dim just as quickly until he came back again.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return" and then he glanced at her and smiled "thats such a good quote, and I'm not saying it because I'm playing Christian in the next play" he said playfully and sarcastically.
"Don't go stealing my lines, Mr. Grecco. I am, after all, the great Tolouse and that is the infamous line I say at the clilmax of our show," she replied, feigning a snobbish tone before laughing. It felt good to be laughing again.

"Don't go stealing my lines, Mr. Grecco. I am, after all, the great Tolouse and that is the infamous line I say at the clilmax of our show," Leon laughed and pulled his head back, he really enjoyed to be Christian, that suddenly remind him the similar situation, between Callie and him, both similar in love but at the same they couldnt be together, and not for the duke, or maybe it was... but the problem here was that he didnt knew who the duke was in real life, he didnt even knew there was a duke. Until now. "Well then Mr. Toulousse, let me tell you something" leon said very serious and acting a little, he leaned near Gia and then whispered "how can I trust the words of a midget who is an alcoholic and hallucinates green fairys?" after saying that leon leaned back on his seat and started laughing, it was so fun to laugh with Gia, she was so simply happy in times. But who wasnt happy, when your laughing at the world, at life, at love?. Sorry its short
