Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:31:20 AM)
*Danny stepped out the elevator into the foyer of the Penthouse. If Tasha thought he was a smug uptown bastard, this place would do nothing to disuade her. It screamed of the oppulence of the family. She could easily hear the lapping of the water from the indoor pool to the left, straight ahead was the main living room where Danny went to. He made his way behind the bar there and opened a few cabinets.* come on in, make yourself comfortable. What's your pleasure tonight?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:34:15 AM)
Woah, bloody hell! *she says in astonishment as she looks aroudn the place. She staggers after him, and slumps against the bar, putting her arm over it* Ehh.. I dunno..*she contemplates, brushing her fingers through her hair* I could use some coffee. SURE you got a coffee machine here, right?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:36:53 AM)
Coffee or espresso? *he chuckled as he opened a cabinet and slid the coffee machine out. He turned on the espresso machine to warm it up while putting the beans through the grinder. One set for the espresso machine, one for the regular coffee pot.* So what is it Tasha? Why were you so keep to get blasted?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:38:29 AM)
*Gives him a slightly confused look from beneath the long eyelashes and heavy eyeslids hanging partly over her vision.* Come again? What do you mean, blasted?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:39:51 AM)
Drunk till you don't remember Tasha. *He let the machines percolate. Danny leaned against the bar across from her, resting on his elbows.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:42:20 AM)
*Shrugs a little, and taps a fingernail against the smooth and shiny surface of the bar* Is that so bad? I mean... some people are drunk ALL the time. I am just a part-time drunk. But I am thinking of making it into a living. One wise man once said....truth is a lie that is caused by the lak of booze. He was the happiest man I ver knew.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:44:49 AM)
*Danny ran a hand through his hair as he shrugged one shoulder out of his jacket, then the other, tossing it on the end of the bar. He chuckled as he leaned against the bar and looked into her eyes with a languid stare.* There are otherways in which to forget the world Tasha, some better then others. I've never been much for drinking alone, there's just too much fun to having a partner in crime.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:46:42 AM)
*smiles to him, almost sweetly, and brings her hand up to touch his cheek. She gives it a pinch.* How right you are, sugar. So...why are YOU sober then?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:48:35 AM)
Because you started without me. *He took her hand and bit her palm before brushing his lips against her knuckles.* and I'm not as think as you sober I am. *He winked at her as he brought his hand to her cheek in a playful pat.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:51:31 AM)
*looks at his mouth on her hand, and a bit of a frown appears on her face.* Ey! Manners! *she says, and pulls her hand back. She brushes it on her hip like to wipe the invisible mark off it, and sighs* just...give me that coffee and we can pretend we're even.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 7:53:17 AM)
*He shrugged and poured her a cup of coffee, placing the cream and the sugar on the counter.* You can pretend whatever you want Tasha. *He took his own cup, spicing it with a little baileys and raised it to his lips.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 7:56:37 AM)
*sips her espresso black as it is, and blows into the air a couple of times, since she did not notice how hot it was before it was too late. Then she wipes her mouth to her arm and looks aroudn again.* Nice place, I give you that. *She retursn her eyes to the man behind the counter* Do you have your own housekeeper and all?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:01:26 AM)
Here? Yes, but I usually just clean up after myself like a big boy and let her do the vacuuming and what not. *He sipped his coffee, moving around the bar to sit next to her. He looked at the mirror that sat on the wall above the bar and simple stared at the image.* It's not bad, but the place is just too big sometimes.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:03:59 AM)
YOUR too big sometimes. *she jokes, and regrets it, when she gets the toher meaning. She offers a grin to cover that.* But yeah, I can get what you mean. Would be nice to have pets here, ro something. Was that a pool I saw there? *she leans back, dangerously far, to get a look at the pool.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:07:24 AM)
Yep. Decent too, I love just floating in it and looking up out the skylight at the stars at night. Also, I tend to just sit in there and play, listening to the music echo. *he finished off his coffee with a satisfied smile, wiping his mouth off on his forearm.* So I've been curious, what do you do when your not hitting the clubs anyway?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:09:42 AM)
*throws down her own espresso, and pushes the cup forward and points into it, indicating that she'd liek another* Not much. That's what I've been doing for the last couple of months.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:12:01 AM)
*He moved to the espresso machine and poured her another, setting it on the counter. Rather then move back around, he just hopped up on the counter and turned slightly to look at her.* Feeling a little better now that you have coffee?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:13:57 AM)
Oh, yes! I mean.. you can never have enough coffee, right? *she picks up the cup, but remembers toblow into it this time* Mind if I have a look at your pool?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:15:49 AM)
go for it. Hey, you want something to eat while I'm up? *He hopped off the bar and headed into the kitchen pulling open the refrigerator. He bent over and stuck his head into the monsterous thing, grumbling and cursing that he can never find anything in this sorry-excuse for a grocery store.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:19:15 AM)
Sure, why not. *she shrugs lightly and picks up the steamign espresso mug before she pushes herslef off the bar.* But no gator, please. I had a taste of that some time ago...*she wrinkles her nose and shakes her head* Not good.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:19:30 AM)
Then she turns and carries her mug of espresso with her to the pool room.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:24:25 AM)
*She can hear him mucking about in the kitchen, even the clatter of a pan falling and his following curse. Despite everything, Danny just didn't seem at home in the kitchen. After a ten minutes or so he showed up with a plate of bar-b-que pork and a meadley of vegtables. He held out her plate to her with a smile that reflected the moonlight from the pool.* One not gator for the lady. Not a horrible fan of gator myself. But don't let other natives hear you say that, it's supposed to be a delicacy around her.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:27:49 AM)
*Is sitting on the brim of the pool, and smiles bringly when he brings up the plate. She takes it in her hands gratefully.* Thanks. *Her boots are laying nearby, and she hangs one leg in the water, kicking it casually and not seemign to mind that she stil gets wet here and there. She rolls the plate rodun in her hands, and tilts her head as she apraises the creation* Not bad. Looks more like a meal than what I've seen in years. *she smiles and picks a piece of pork to gnaw*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:30:04 AM)
Why? *He asked as he kicked off his shoes and dropped onto the deck. He sunk his still sock covered feet into the pool and sighed at the warmth. He pulled a bit of morsel into his mouth as he watched the sky reflected in the water.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:32:37 AM)
You know. *she shrugs and chews the piece in her mouth, and twists her hand in a circle to show him that theres more to what she's saying.* ..street food, mostly. *she says after swallowgn the peice* Nothing like REAL meat or vegetables. I am a terrible cook myself and wouldn't even try.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:36:47 AM)
*He nods as he chews a couple of pieces in silent contemplation. Eventually he sets the plate aside and leans back on his hands and looks up at the stary sky.* It's the one thing I'm glad that Father did to me. Kicking me out into the world at seventeen. Nothing to trade on, just me and my wits. *He chuckled bemused.* Spent a year living off of a couch in someone's living room. Never the same couch each week. I think I still have the shirt from my McDonalds uniform from back then.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:37:10 AM)
He made me spend a year like that to know what the real world was like.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:37:19 AM)
[stupid enter key]

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:38:39 AM)
Heh. *smirks a little and eats another piece* Well, atleast you got out of it nicely enough. Where are your parents now? I hope they don't live here with you. *she looks around with the smirk still on her face*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:42:00 AM)
I guess you could say I got out of it. But being dumped onto a street corner with no money and only the clothes on your back is tough enough at seventeen. I spent a year like that. *He smirked and looked at her.* But I imagine you've had it a bit tougher then I have lately. No, they have their estate out of town. Grandfather had this place built as a place to stay when he was working, or so he said. Personally I think he built this place to entertain mistresses. The old coot was famous for that back in the day.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:43:28 AM)
Are you in good terms with them? I mean your family. *she asks casually and continues to devour her meal*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:48:05 AM)
Sort of. Father and I don't get along well, but I still talk to him. Mother is mother. I sometimes think that when they created the stereotype of a strong and stern matron of a family, they were talking about her. But she and I get along, me being her youngest of all. My sisters have their own families and lives. Aida married some rich guy in England and doesn't talk to us now that she's a Lady. Brenna came out of the closet about three years ago. Mother and Father cut her off from the family, but they don't know I've been sneaking her money each month from the family accounts. She seems happy with her girlfriend.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:52:50 AM)
*listens to his story, finishing her plate meanwhile. Then she licks her lips and sets the plate to the side.* That's kinda sad. It's such a waste that some people have to hold up the appearanses and give up on things that are real. I knew this one guy, a lawyer...*she starts, then shakes her head* Nevermind. None of my business. BUT, you know what I mean. *she wipes the sides of her lips with her thumb, and pushes the stains of bbq sauce into her mouth.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:55:02 AM)
Hey, you don't have to clam up on my account. Remember I'm the uptown tool? *He chuckled.* Yeah I know it's a waste, Brenna had such talent too. Now she's wasting it, but she's happy so I let it go... *He looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.* What about you and your family? Do you speak to them at all?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 8:56:33 AM)
*shakes her head* No. I haven' seen them in a while. My mother and father, that is. I live with my uncle...well...he is not my real uncle either, he's my boyfriend's uncle. *mumbles, and suckles the remaining sauce from under her nails*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 8:59:48 AM)
*He offers her the rest of his plate with a smile.* What was that Miss mumbles? *His laugh was almost infectious.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:02:24 AM)
*holds up her hand to refuse the plate* No thanks, I had enough. Pretty good, though. *she smiles to him once she is done licking and sucking herself. She washes her hands in the pool without giving it a further thought. She was obviously still a bit drunk.* Man, I love the water...*she says to herself* So cool to have a pool....hey that rhymed, hehe.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:05:20 AM)
*he set the plate down and smirked, sliding into the pool with a contented sigh. Letting the water billow out his shirt as he hung there in the shimmering light.* Then get in and relax. *He pushed away from the wall and floated out on his back staring upwards, casting the occasional sidelong glance at her.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:07:17 AM)
Naa, I don't know. *she shakes her head a bit, and looks across the blue water in the pleasant lighting* I don't think I'm in the shape for that. To be honest, I can't even swim that well.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:07:33 AM)
We didn't have much water, where I coem from. Just forest, and industry.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:08:47 AM)
It's not that deep Tasha, you can walk in the shallow end. Come on. *He turned up and looked at her with a soft smile.* I promise, if you start to flounder, I'll be there to help you. *He splashed at her playfully as he swam over to where she was.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:10:51 AM)
*She lifts her leg and foot, the one that were n the water, up and placed against his chest to stop him when he comes her way.* Don't you even think about it...

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:13:10 AM)
Think about what? *He shook his head.* I'm not pulling someone who professes to be a bad swimmer in. As much as I like you Tasha, I'm not endangering your life just to try and get you to have fun. Well, at least not without your consent.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:15:47 AM)
*cracks him another smile* Well that's a relief. I have had my share of beign snatched into the water lately. *then she leans forward, and pulls the end of her top up off her back, presenting a row of tape-on bandages on her slim back. They go from her lower side in a neat row up and across her back, all the way to her opposite shoulder.* See? That's why I don't liek gator.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:20:00 AM)
Jesus Tasha, why didn't you say something? Have you seen a doctor for that yet? *he swam over, shaking a hand dry he ran his fingertips lightly over the bandages.* What the fuck happend? Did you go swimming in the bayou or something?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:22:59 AM)
Hey, no poking, please. *she says and averts the touch with much caution. Then she turns to face him, and slips the other leg into the pool to accompany the other.* Nah, I'm fine now. It was almost a week ago, so it's already healign up. I had a bath in antiseptics and vodka, and my uncle patched me up. *she smiles a little at him* Thanks for your concern, sir.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:25:33 AM)
Sir? *he clutches his heart.* You wound me Madam. Sir is my Father, he's also Mr. Braxton. I don't go for the formal too much. *he floated next to the edge, laying back and casting his glance sideways at her.* So what brought you to our fair city?

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:27:57 AM)
*pulls her top straight and smooths it agaisnt her stomack* Well, my uncle lives here, so.. *she shrugs* I don't know where else, to be honest. And it's alright here, I guess. A nice harbor city with a river...did I tell you that I love water?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:30:25 AM)
No you didn't, and you don't swim well? *he shakes his head as he hoists himself out of the water and flops on the deck like a fish for a moment.* Ah... I love that feeling.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:30:54 AM)
You have a waterbed?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:31:34 AM)
I do, well the room I sleep in usually does.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:32:03 AM)
Mind if I bunk in here tonight? I'm pretty tired.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:34:27 AM)
Your more then welcome to crash here. I'll set you out a robe and some fresh bandages in case you want to use the shower. *He sat up and slipped out of his shirt, tossing it into a bucket and padding into the house to get her a robe, towel, and bandages.*

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:36:18 AM)
*gets up and sweeps the water off her legs while she waits.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:37:19 AM)
*He steps back in with a towel around his waist and tosses her a small one for her legs.* Your all set up in the room, shower is through the sidedoor, robe, towel and bandages are on the bed.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:38:08 AM)
Thanks, Danny. *she sighs and moves on, rubbing the back of her head tiredly* Uhh, I'll ...see you tomorrow then. I guess.

Tasha Ribakov (Jul 21, 2011 9:38:20 AM)
(g2g. thnaks for the RP.)

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:39:12 AM)

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:48:19 AM)
*Danny pads from the back room, still clad in his towel, as he made his way to the espresso machine. The indoor pool light was still on, he made a note to turn that off as he picked up his cup and made more espresso.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:48:48 AM)
*A buzzing came from the intercom as meredith stood outside. Waiting to be let up as she watched soemone very tasha shaped walk on passed.* Anyone home?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:49:53 AM)
*Thumping over to the intercom, Danny pushed the button to send the elevator down and answer the com.* Meredith? Is that you Cuz?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:50:47 AM)
Yea. After the other night I thought I might see how you were doing. Not a bad time is it?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:52:06 AM)
Nope, I sent the elevator down. Just come on up. *he made his way back behind the bar and started to pour his espresso. He set out another cup for her and leaned against the bar with a satisfied smile as he inhaled the cup's aroma.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:54:34 AM)
I think I hear it now. Be up in a minute. *As the doors open up for her she hops in and a short while like she's wandering into your appartment.* Was that the girl from the club I just saw leaving earlier? * Grinning broadly as she came into view.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:57:15 AM)
Tasha? yeah. She called me while I was in a meeting to come meet her at a party. I got there and she was so drunk she could barely remember her own name, so I let her crash for the night. She just left.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 9:58:43 AM)
Uhh huh. That was increadibly gallant of you. * She eyes the coffee cups, leaning casually against the counter top.* A lesser man might take advantage of her.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:00:35 AM)
Who says I didn't? *He raised an eyebrow as he passed her a hot mug of espresso. He chuckles and sighs.* You know me, I hate a dead fish and passed out drunks don't get much deader then that.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:02:14 AM)
Maybe I was just hoping. *Accepting the cup greatfully. Inhaling the delicious smell before taking a dainty sip to see how hot it was.* And what a lovely imagine to start the morning off with.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:04:35 AM)
Sorry cuz. At least I have my morals, becaue she left here unmolested. *He stepped from the bar and headed for the bedroom to change. He returned minus the towel around his waist but plus a pair of pants.* Sorry about that Meredith... I just thought I should put some pants on for you.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:07:33 AM)
Don't have to get all dressed up on my account. And its not like you haven't got anything I haven't seen before. *She slips into one of the seats as she drinks her cofee.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:09:36 AM)
*he chuckled.* no but you haven't seen mine since we were kids, and if I've been paying attention at all, what I have doesn't do it for you. *He slipped into a seat nearby and kicked up his feet, drawing the espresso to his lips, he let out a low moan of comfort.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:13:18 AM)
Which means you don't have to worry about me being disapointed. Though all the same I'm glad there won't be any sudden accidental towell slipps where your out for the world to see.* I'd almost forgotten what real coffee tastes like. What they have down at the station is like what becomes of coffee after it goes somewhere to die.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:15:07 AM)
*he chuckled* You never seemed to mind the slips when we were younger. I saw you looking back then miss sneaky eyes. *He sipped his coffee and sighed.* Well your welcome to stop by for coffee in the morning, I'm usually in at that point.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:18:21 AM)
I might if you don't mind be dropping in at the crack of dawn. And I only ever peeked because I thought it looked really wierd, just dangling around there like a pink little sausage.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:19:39 AM)
Mhmmm okay cuz. *He nodded thoughtfully and smiled.* Sure, I'm always up at the crack of dawn. Hell I'm usually just getting in at that time anyway. So how goes the quest for that special someone?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:24:21 AM)
Its not. Though its not like I'm looking though. I don't even know where any of the local gay bars are. Closesest I've come is meeting this woman who owns a trucking company. *smiling a little.* She's alot less butch then that would sound. I thought she was hitting on me, surns out she was jsut looking for a shoulder to cry on and apparently a badge instantly means I'm qualified.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:28:19 AM)
*He chuckles.* You'ld be surprised how often I get that. I think it's a Braxton thing, we just ooze comfort. Have you tried Oz over on Bourbon street or Rawhide over on Burgundy?*He finished off his coffee and set the cup aside with a smile.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:31:40 AM)
I think that must be it. Because people just seemed to come to me with their stuff even before I became a cop. *Finally she shrugged. Though she did give Danny a odd look when he so easily listed two gay bars.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:32:43 AM)
What? *He smirked and raised an eyebrow.* What are you looking at me like that for?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:33:43 AM)
Just wondering how you knew of them them right off the top of your head. Thats all. But far be it for me to judge.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:35:25 AM)
Oh yes little cousin, I love the men just love 'em *He gave her a limp wristed dismissal and laughed.* No, I just have a lot of friends and occassionally a cute guy catches my attention.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:37:01 AM)
* She laughed at the gesture.* I never would have guessed. And you look so rugged with that permanent five o'clock shadow thing going too.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:38:29 AM)
Oh don't get me wrong, I love women. But I don't limit myself. I like the human body in all it's shapes and forms. Some just more then others. *He chuckled and stood, grabbing his cup.* You want another cup?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:43:03 AM)
Thats one wayo look at it. Before I.. *Her words trail off, as she remembers, a sudden sadness overtaking her but she tries not to show it.* Umm yea. Before I came out I went out with a few guys but it never really interested me. * She takes a last mouthful of her coffee.*Na, any more and I'll be bouncing off the walls all day. Thanks though.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:44:55 AM)
*He nodded and made another cup.* Ever think you just didn't find an interesting guy? *He returned and sat down with a smile as he blew the steam off of the cup.* I didn't think I would find guys interesting till I met Marcela, he's a sweetheart even if I don't see him anymore.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:48:34 AM)
*She offered a little shrug.* I wn't say neverr but I think the chances of it are pretty slim. I'm kind of set in my ways. I don't mind guys. I mean my partner at the prcint is male and we get along okay... Well he's an exception because he's an asshole most of the time. But your alright.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:48:52 AM)
*They just tend noto do it for me

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:50:57 AM)
*He nods.* Be careful there cuz, you'll ruin my reputation as an asshole if you keep saying nice things about me. *Laughing he winked at her teasing her.* People might get the wrong idea and think we're kissing cousins. *He chuckled and sipped his coffee.* I just guess I want to see my baby cousin happy, If that person has dangly bits or not doesn't matter. As long as they love you and respect you.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:56:57 AM)
I promise your secret is safe with me. I won't tell a single soul that your really just a big teddy bear. *Poking her tognue out.* And I'd never kiss anyone with peach fuzz all over their face. Respect and love is nice. But someone who can cook and has legs that go on for days wouldn't be so bad either.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 10:58:32 AM)
well I can cook, the legs... not so much. Though I just got told I have the best ass in a drunken fever. *He laughed at her behaviour having missed spending time with his favorite cousin.* Tell you what, I'll see what I can find for you.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:00:38 AM)
Nooo. Really you don't have to set me up with anyone. I can ruin my own love life all on my own thank you very much. If I meet someone on my own thats nice and all but I'm not really looking right now.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:03:22 AM)
Meri, I'm not trying to set you up. But I will keep an eye out incase I see something you might like. Or are you embarassed that your old fuddy duddy cousin is bugging you about your love life? *he took a long pull on his coffee.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:05:26 AM)
Its well... * She rested her chin in her palm as she stared at her empty coffee cup.* Its alot of things. I don't know if I'm over Chastity yet.. I don't know if I ever really will be. And Well I've never actually been out on a date before.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:05:44 AM)
I have no idea what I'd do.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:06:52 AM)
Call work, tell 'em your not coming in today. *He stood and finished off his coffee with a mischevious smile. He set the cup on the bar and washed his hands.* come on, get a move on slowpoke.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:09:18 AM)
Are you kidding? I'm a public servant. I can't just throw a sickie whenever I feel like it. Not to mention I'm not sure I trust this sudden burst of enthusiasm. it sounds devious.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:11:25 AM)
I'll call for you if I have to, but we're going out. I'm tired of you sitting there on the verge of moaping. Your a beautiful young woman and you need to get out. *He grabbed a fresh dress shirt from the laundry room and pulled it on.* Come on, don't make me have to pull strings Meri.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:16:12 AM)
I don't mope. But even if I did I would brood, not mope. Its much cooler.But fine. I'll show you how much fun I can be. You have been warned. Just let me think up something that won't end up with me getting yelled at and/or fired.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:17:12 AM)
Call Sgt. Jackson, tell him that Danny B. said you needed the day off. that should take care of it. *he smirked and grabbed a pair of socks and some shoes.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:19:19 AM)
*Her mouth worked soundlessly then she frowned.* I don't know if I should be greateful or worried or both. Where are we going though?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:20:47 AM)
It's a surprise Meri, now call him and go change into something other then your uniform cuz. *He smirked as he pulled his shoes on.8

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:23:35 AM)
Fine fine. * I'm going. *A hint of a smirk on her face as she wandered off into the next room for a little privacy to call her work.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:24:11 AM)
*He smiled and sat down waiting. He had an idea but she needed to get out and have fun. To get on with her life after Chas.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:24:21 AM)
[brb]

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:28:57 AM)
*As she returned she had this kind of incredulous look on her face.* That was suspiciously easy.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:36:55 AM)
*he looks up at her innocently and smiles* What? I didn't do anything? *Whistles innocently and stands up.* Now go change, I think the room you used last time you stayed here has some of your old things in it still.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:40:58 AM)
I was wondering where I left that top. I thought Jane might have "borrowed" it. I guess I don't have to drive all the way home then. * Wandering back to find the outfit she'd left behind.* Did you wash them? * calling out from the doorway.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:41:49 AM)
Of course I did, you think I'd let you walk outside in dirty clothing? *he laughed and collected his leather jacket, wallet and keys.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:45:24 AM)
Well I wasn't sure if you would was them for me. Since I just kind of left them here last year. Never mind. lets see if they still fit. I've changed alot since then. * The last part mumbled too herself. A short while later she emerged in a short black skirt and a matching tank top.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:47:09 AM)
It might not, you've developed quite a bit since then. Turning into a real woman you are. *He poked fun at her as he cleaned up a bit. He finished cleaning off the espresso machine by the time she was done.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:49:37 AM)
*That outfit was a little tighter then last time she wore it, not that anyone would really complain about it.* Well it still fits and I'm not having any trouble breathing so I think we're good to go.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:51:02 AM)
*Danny whistles low as she entered the room.* Damn cuz, your gonna break some hearts dressed like that. He grabbed his keys and smiled.* Oh this is gonna be a lot of fun.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:53:59 AM)
Okay, lets get going. Just have to grab some some stuff out of my car on the way down and put my uniform in... Sure your not even going to give me a tiny hint?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:55:38 AM)
Now what's the enjoyment in dragging my pretty little cousin around town if I can't have some fun with her? You said you've never been on a date before... so telling you wouldn't help anyway. *He smirked and summoned the elevator.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 11:59:06 AM)
*She finally let out a little sigh as she snatched up everything and joined you in the elevator.* I'll put myself in your capable hands. Just please don't do anything thats going to scar me for life.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:00:19 PM)
*He pushed the button to go down and laughed.* too late Meri, You've known me your whole life, your already scared hun.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:03:07 PM)
If theres one thing I've learnt its that it can always get worse. But anyway I'll try not to be all broody and enjoy myself. * When they get downstairs Mere wanders off to put her uniform and other things into her car and managing to hide her badge.. somewhere before joining you on the way to your car.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:07:54 PM)
*Following you, he shakes his head and hands you the badge.* Hold onto that. God forbid someone finds that. They could get you in so much trouble, and I'm not having you get into trouble like that. *He slips an arm around your shoulder and guides you toward his car. Opening the door for you, he smiles.* Come on Meri, just you and me like old times.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:12:30 PM)
( I meant somewhere in her clothes.) Well I think theres a bit of a difference between missing a few classes and skipping out on patrol duty. * Slipping into the seat and making herself comfy.* Is this new? Didn't you have something different last time?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:14:47 PM)
(oh sorry. lol) No, this was just in the shop. Federal law required I put a govenor on it, So I had to take it in. *He shut the door and slid into the drivers seat.* I didn't mean skipping work, I was talking about you and me hitting the town. Last I heard you spend most of your time now on fundraisers, when was the last time you cut loose?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:17:54 PM)
Fun raisers? the one I went too for Saint Vinnie's was the first I've been too in in months. But I guess it has been a while since I had a real party. Sorry about disapearing the other night. Got called into work.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:20:00 PM)
Hey, you know I love you cuz. You gotta split you gotta split. It's not like I'm your boyfriend or anything. *He tossed her a wink as he kicked the racing engine over and dropped it into first gear, pulling away from the curb.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:23:23 PM)
So those two at the bar. How did things end up going after I left. They looked like they were in a last harah kind of mood.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:25:14 PM)
Nada, I had to run shortly afterwards. I had to meet up with my sister Brenna, you remember her, she came out shortly after you did and Father disowned her? Well she's been living over in the 9th with her girlfriend and wanted to see her little brother.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:30:01 PM)
I haven't talked to her in ages. I didn't even know she came out. I guess your father didn't have mum twisting his arm. How is she doing? I might have a job but I don't know what I'd do without our family to fall back on. Brenna never really seemed like the working type...

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:33:03 PM)
no, and she's bleeding me dry. She spends all day painting but never tries to sell them. And she calls me for money when she runs out. *he pulled out into traffic and drove at a leisurely pace.* No you always had the better head on your shoulders. Everyone said you'd make some guy a very lucky man. Then you came out and everyone was so surprised, well almost everyone. I guess Brenna coming out just tipped Father over the edge.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:38:06 PM)
Oh. * She frowns as she thinks a moment.* Maybe I can help find her something to do. I don't know what she's good at but I might have a few semi decent ideas. Does she do anything besides paint?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:40:57 PM)
Not to be crass, but she paints, eats, and fucks. *he shakes his head.* She seems happy to just bury her head in the sand so to speak and just ignore the world. *he pulled over and stopped at one of the nicer resturaunts in the Quarter, throwing the car into park.* Love my sister, but she's a waste of oxygen right now.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:45:30 PM)
Is the paintings she's doing actually any good? And whats the girlfriend like? She can't be all that happy with things either. While I was still going to college I usually paid most of the bills between Chas and I but she atleast pitched in.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:50:22 PM)
Her paintings are great, I could probably set up a gallery showing for her, but she says she doesn't want to sell them. Cherish doesn't mind because most of Brenna's paintings are of her, and as long as I keep giving Brenna money from the family accounts, they stay solvent.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:55:05 PM)
( opps. chat went wacky and I missed your post. ^^: ) Maybe I could say something too her. Have a litte girl talk. Maybe motivate Brenna to do something with hes y atting my lashes at Cherish to see if that helps. *Grinning a little to herself now.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:58:45 PM)
( *test* )

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:59:07 PM)
you wanna flirt with your cousins Girlfriend? *he moved around and opened the door for her.* Your bad meri, *He chuckled.* Ah if only you weren't gay. *he waggled his eyebrows playfully and laughed.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 12:59:14 PM)
(succeed)

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:00:18 PM)
I don't want to flirt with my cousin's girlfriend. I want to help motivate my dear wayward cousin... And if this Cherish just happens to be worth flirting with thats just an added bonus.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:01:31 PM)
Oh she's worth flirting with, but be ready for her to flirt back. I think she gets it from her job. *He offers her his hand as he holds the door open for her.*

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:04:13 PM)
And how would it be any good to you even if I were straight? *Smirking as she walks inside.*Though who would name their kid Cherish? It just seems kind of mean.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:05:46 PM)
I wasn't talking about for Cherish. *He laughed and locked the car as he followed her in.* Hippies from what I've gathered. Her parents were full blown flower power hippies. Hell they disowned her for dating Brenna because of who -she- is. I'd almost say they were perfect for each other.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:10:09 PM)
I thought flower people were supposed to be all open and understanding all that fuzzy happy stuff. Though it sounds kind of funny. Though I doubt Cherish would be getting disowned from much.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:11:21 PM)
Not really. But yeah, they found out Brenna was a Braxton and they were all like "fight the power." I guess Cherish said she loved Brenna and they told her to get out and never come back for being a traitor to the cause.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:14:07 PM)
*She actually chuckled at that.* Wow. I guess hippies are biggots just like everyone else. But still. I think if I had some time to talk to her I might be able to get her to change her mind a little.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:15:09 PM)
Well feel free to give it a try. *He got them a table and held her seat for her before taking his own.* Sometimes I think I get ignored in this family because I was the only one born with dangly parts.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:17:58 PM)
I think your forgetting out some of your other cousins. I do have two brothers remember. Or are you still not talking to them after what happened last Christmas?

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:20:13 PM)
it took two months to get that smell out of the car. And who throws rotted limburgur into a relative's car anyway? And i didn't forget about them, but when was the last time your mother or your sister, or you actually took their advice?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:24:03 PM)
Well John is still a teenager and a total pain. and Derek is too busy being dad's mini me to give much advice to anyone. I mean John John called me a rug muncher when I came out. I was still in a bloody hospital bed.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:25:33 PM)
I know, I was in the waiting room. How did you think he got that broken arm so soon afterwards.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:27:00 PM)
Huh... That explains alot actually. Thanks. * There was this brief but very devious grin on her face.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:28:11 PM)
Hey I gotta watch out for my baby cousin. So how's the life of the straight and narrow treating you?

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:31:40 PM)
I wouldn't say my life is particularly straight or narrow in any sense of the word. The being a cop thing has its up and downs. I get alot of crap for being one of the few women. then theres an entirely seperate thing from being a "trust fund baby" I have no intention of telling anyone at work I'm gay anytime soon. But.. on the bright side I look totally hot in my unform. I get to beat people up on a daily basis and free doughnuts.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:32:39 PM)
All I have to say in response to that is... Yes you do, and I hate you I'm so jealous. *he laughed and orderd a coffee since he was driving.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:34:57 PM)
*Mere deciding to be a good girl just orders a water for the moment as she peeks through the menu.* And the job iitself is good too. It may sound sappy but I like being able to help people again, protect them.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:35:27 PM)
( Ohh. Umm, think we should room change? :P )

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:35:31 PM)
hey... your supposed to be cutting loose.

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:13 PM)
(actually I need to run out for a bit. I have to pick up my mother and take her to the docotrs in 25 minutes.)

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:21 PM)
Just let me eat something first before I get totally legless.

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:31 PM)
( Ahh. *nods.*

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:34 PM)
(can we pick up later?)

Meredith Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:40 PM)
( Sure. :) )

Danny Braxton (Jul 21, 2011 1:36:49 PM)
(*hugs* later)
