*in the distance, Alex's bike can be heard, he is driving at his usual break neck pace. The engine whines, and the breaks groan as he makes turns, before pulling in, killing the bike engine, dropping the kickstand and holding a smalll giftwrapped package with a wide grin on his face, looking for Aislinn*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:22:45 PM)
::Ais is inside, the door is locked, and she's in her office, finishing up a few ledgers for the day, the finishing touches on a few designs, and making sure the online orders have been placed. She was out of sight, just the ambient lights on in the office, most of the shop shrouded in darkness, but her car was out front::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:24:05 PM)
*alex sees her car, and the ambient lighting. When he checks the door and finds it locked, he runs his fingers through his now long hair, and pulls out his phone dialing Aislinn's number*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:25:47 PM)
::he can hear her phone ringing inside, and hear her voice on the phone a few seconds later:: Hello, love... how are you? ::he can hear a bit of typing on the laptop, and the rustling of papers, realizing she's probably trying to get out of there::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:27:28 PM)
I... I am doing really well. I know we have both been working late a lot recently, but, I want to take you out to dinner, and show you what it is I have been working on. I know you are still working, but if you think that can wait untill tomorrow, I will take you to dinner right now. *his voice shows the smile on his face despite her inability to see him*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:29:28 PM)
I am actually trying to get out of here now.... I was just checking up on a few things before I left... I should be home in... um.... 20 minutes? Or I can meet you there, if I don't have to change for dinner? ::she's distracted, but she's happy to hear from him, as always::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:31:38 PM)
Or, we can meet sooner than that. And you don't have to change, but I am standing in the parking lot now. *he laughs a little* I got a package in the mail and as soon as I got it, I... I had to show you what I've been doing these past few months. *he doesn't mind she is distracted, and she can hear how much he is tempering his enthusiasm to show her what he has been working on. The energy in his voice is tightly contained and she can tell from his breathing he is pacing excitedly*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:35:23 PM)
::she laughs softly:: You... are such a dork. The pass code is 96651. Just come inside and meet me in my office... I'll be ready soon. ::she giggled and hung up the phone, as she shook her head, giggling still as she began to type in a bit more, and moving faster, wanting to escape here even more now::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:38:33 PM)
I may be a dork, but I am your dork. *She can hear he is pushing the passcode as she says it.* See you soon! *he syays as she is hanging up. He closes and locks the door behind him making his way to her office. He is dressed in white slacks and a white dress shirt, relaxed shoes made of canvas on his feet and he stands in her doorway, waiting for her to look up or say something to him, holding a giftwrapped box, the size of a multiple DVD case. His eyes are on her as she works, and it is obvious he is very apreciative of her appearance*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:41:55 PM)
::she is wearing a pair of hip-hugging jeans, the right knee exposed from a hole in the knee, a light green Henley, the sleeves pushed up, and it was unbuttoned a few buttons. She was standing at her desk, as though finishing typing something before she gave him a hug, typing away at the computer. Her long hair was down, the tiny white flower still present, as always, and she looked up as she saw him and grinned:: Hey, love... ::tapping 'Enter' before she stood up fully::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:45:12 PM)
*he returns her hug, and squeezes her tightly to his chest. She can hear him breath in her scent, and she can feel the myriad of reactions that causes in his body, heart racing, shoulders relaxing, knees giving just a little, to name a few.* Long day at the office, Princess? No one to delegate tasks to? *he smiles as he releases her, letting her finish on the computer.* So... Present! *he holds out the box to her, wrapped in holographic paper with little bears holding heart shaped balloons*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 10:52:16 PM)
::she slid her hands up his arms, squeezing lightly as she wrapped her arms around him, and she relaxed against him, before she leaned in and kissed him softly, teasingly. She let her lips linger before she settled back in his arms:: I let Pedro go early, he wanted to get a few things at the farmer's market before it closed... his wife likes the organic potatoes and onions and spinach. ::she finished up on the laptop and closed it out, before she grinned:: Little bears, hmm? ::looking over the present curiously before she opened it::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 10:57:39 PM)
*He enjoys her kiss, letting her lips tease him, and his own lips gently brush hers, curling into a smile at the affection.* Well, that was very kind of you. And I can't blame his wife. They do have really good spinach. *he lets her look over the present, restraining the excitement from her almost opening it as long as he can and as she tears teh paper his eyes are glued to her face to see her reaction. The DVD has a slightly garishly designed cover. It's all High contrast and stark colors with bold lettering. The title is "God Bods" and the subtitle lets you know that five days a week for sixty days will give you heavenly definition. The cover consists of two people. A brunette woman, dressed in a silver bikini type thing standing in the classic "Birth fo venus" pose on a shiny metal sea shell, and... Alex. He is dressed in a circlet with hawk wings on it, a vest strategically placed to cover his tiger claw scars, a speedo, and holding a larger, heavy war hammer.

(( I loved the title. ))

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 11:02:08 PM)
And Pedro has been putting in a ton of extra hours without telling me, so yes, he deserved it and I gladly gave it to him. And I like their spinach as well. ::she looks to the present, curiously as she raises a brow, looking over the package, and she smiles, grinning to him as she laughs softly:: What... is this? ::her eyes looking to him curiously, before back down to the DVD:: Whatever it is... you look rather amazing in your tiny briefs...

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:05:42 PM)
*he blushes at her noticing of the tiny briefs, and clears his throat a little* Remember how a few months ago I told you Michell Mathews, the lady who does fitness segments on talk shows was launching a new vitamin line? Well, the gym I work at sells them, and she came here to do a sales event, and she overheard me working with Mrs. Esposito. She thought I did a great job of encouraging people, we talked for a while, and she asked if I wanted to be in her next work out video. I agreed, and while we were doing it, she asked me to do a few lines of encouragement for male users of teh video... and... *he grins* COnsiddering the eddited video is three hours including the infomercial, I was AMAZED how long it took to make. *He watches her smiling broadly, like a happy kid at christmas*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 11:16:59 PM)
::she looks to him and she looks to the end of it, and she listens to him as she looks over the DVD box, then to him again. Her eyes widen and she laughs again, not making fun of him, but more pleased for him:: You were in the video? Oh, Alex...that's so fun! What did you do in it? ::she opens the DVD box curiously, to see if there were more pictures, and she is still grinning excitedly for him:: Why didn't you tell me, love?

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:21:55 PM)
Well, I... I actually am up at the front of the video class, working opposite Michelle. So I'm on all of the discs, I get about half the camera time, and I'm doing the work out, showing people the propper technique, correcting the men on the set for form... and I am in a few of the clips on the infomercial talking about the benefits of this exercise regimin. *he looks down and is a little embarrassed* If something happened, and I didn't get to finish the project, I... I didn't want you to know I got kicked off the project. But that didn't happen, and now I have an advance copy, and since the payday on this was... *his eyes go wide just thinking about* Surprising... I I wanted to make sure I wasn't counting my chickens.

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:24:59 PM)
*there are more pictures off him on the back and on every other DVD, him in his usual work out attire, a tank top, comfortable shorts and trainers. The excersises seem to be a mix of aerobics and isometrics. All things that can be done only with the human body, no other tools needed.*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 11:29:55 PM)
::she grins to him and she giggles and nods, looking it over and she smiles to him, before she hugged him tightly:: Oh Alex... I'm so happy for you... this is amazing! ::she pauses:: They paid you a lot for this? Wow... that's even better. ::she laughs:: I'm so proud of you, baby. ::she grins to him and hugs him again:: Sooo, we need to celebrate!

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:32:36 PM)
Well, I wouldn't say a lot by maybe your standards, but it's certainly more than I've been paid for anything. *he hugs her back tightly, glad to hear she is happy for him. As she releases him from the second hug he is trying not to cry from joy* We can celebrate, my treat. I took a few hundred from the payday for this to celebrate my succsess, but the rest of it... I put into savings, because... well... Just in case, you know? *there is a mischievious twinkle in his eyes as he obviously has plans for that mney in savings*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 11:38:37 PM)
::she giggles:: I'm not exactly a rich person... and you know money doesn't exactly mean a bunch to me... it pays for my habits. ::she smirks, then blinks:: A few hundred? What... are we doing tonight? ::she laughs:: I thought you said I didn't have to dress up?! ::she tilts her head at him as she leans against him, and she kissed him soundly, firmly, tasting him just a bit as she pressed herself against him... a searingly congratulatory kiss, letting it linger long and slow::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:42:25 PM)
You don't have to get dressed up, and we don't have to blow all teh celebration at once... *and then she kisses him, and as their lips meet, he surges against her, his hands are all over her back, clutching her posessively as he exudes a powerful masculine energy, feeling very succsessful. His lips and tongue dance against hers as he uses his hight to it's fullest to encompass her body. His thoughts are a very excited jumble as they draw the kiss out and his heart slams against his chest.* Money is a means to an end, and if I have my way, I have an end in mind...*he arches an eyebrow jsut a little at her*

Aislinn Connelly (Nov 18, 2011 11:46:08 PM)
::she laughs and tilts her head:: Then what do you suggest? I will even eat with you tonight... so let's make it yummy... ::she slides her hands around him, pressing the length of her body against his, one hand sliding over his shoulder, squeezing the pad of muscles she found there, the other hand slides into his hair, winding her fingers around the cool strands and pulling him closer as she nuzzles her nose against his, her own heartbeat picking up, and she breathed out lightly:: Mmm, is it a happy ending? ::she offers a grin, at the double meaning, and yes, she made a joke about that, really::

Alex Steele (Nov 18, 2011 11:51:04 PM)
I think dinner, something ... I don't know, something exotic. Something I've never had before. *he lets her squueze his muscles, and he flexes them for her as she touches them. Her fingers in his hair make his eyes roll back into his head with an easy, happy smile* It is the happiest of endings, Banphrionsa. If the gods and you are inclined to let me have that. *he returns the nose nuzzle and at her double entendre, she can feel his body's sudden tensing.* But you know how much I love giving you happy endings... *he licks his lips very sugestively and then gets a wicked look as he scans her office briefly with his eyes*
