Legal Affairs (M) Lerouge and Misty

[Mysteria]

The moment they had stepped onto the dance floor Brianna could tell that Nick was tense by the way he held his body and by the way he held her. It only served to encourage her to pull him closer to try to get him relax. With the warmth of his body now fully pressed against her she felt herself blushing into his shoulder and was glad that he wasn't able to see from his vantage point above her. He was a bit taller than her which made it easy for her to hide her face in his shoulder. After a few moments of being on the dance floor she could feel him beginning to loosen up a little as he guided them in gentle circles.

The warmth of his hand on her lower back calmed her somewhat too even though it had send slight shivers through her which she had hoped he hadn't noticed. She was surprised when she began speaking to her. Brianna had looked up at him when he had mentioned that he was a bit nervous and although she wasn't normally very nervous around men she herself seemed to have butterflies as her gaze found his brown eyes looking down at her.

"So, you are a lawyer and a head turner and is able to make the ever stubborn Nick Lemmings dance. Is there anything else I should know Ms. Brianna Monroe, besides the fact that she is dangerous?"

At the words her eyes widened slightly before a slow smile graced her full lips. Not only was he handsome he was playing with fire too. Moving one of her hands that had been wrapped around his neck she began trailing her fingers lightly over the back of his neck as she spoke with a voice soft as silk "Well Mr. Nick Lemmings the only other thing that you should know is that my closer friends call me Bri" she said as her full lips formed each word slowly while she spoke.

Nick's body almost shuttered at the feel of her fingers on his neck, they tickled him but not to the point where he would break out laughing. It sent a small shock wave down his spine, but luckily he had kept his composure as he stared into Brianna's green eyes. The song had just ended when she finished speaking, leaving the room to go back into it's previous silence asides from the shuffling of feet leaving the dance floor. Neither of them moved however and continued swaying slightly through the conversation they were having, as if they were the one ones there. Sam chuckled from the bar and walked over to the band and nudging his head in the couple's direction. The band, reluctant at first since they would be required extra payment, was assured that they will be paid in full and resumed their spots on the stage playing the music again.

"Hope you like a 300 band charge on your tab Nick." Sam muttered before returning to the bar and helped serve the other customers.

"Bri, huh?" Nick mused as he watched her, the nervousness from before was totally gone leaving him relaxed and rather entranced by their beautiful woman. "Well I am going to have to remember that." He pulled away from her slowly one arm falling down to his side while the other grabbed hers, lifting her arm above her and giving her a playful twirl before finally pulling her close to him. Even if he hated dancing, all those months of classes he had to take for the wedding did come in awfully handy. As their bodies pressed together again he held her close smiling gently as his head moved closer to hers, their lips an inch apart.

"Well Bri, I hope the fact that you told me that and haven't slapped me yet means we are now friends?"

[Mysteria]

Bri, huh? No sooner had Brianna heard the words than Nick stepped away from her and twirled her around. Chuckling to herself Bri couldn't help but think that for someone who didn't seem to like to dance he sure knew his way around a dance floor.

Within seconds she was back in his arms being held close as the dance continued. Not only was she enjoying the warmth emanating from Nick but she was enjoying the closeness of his lips to hers. "Well Bri, I hope the fact that you told me that and haven't slapped me yet means we are now friends?"

Brianna smiled back at him laughing lightly as she replied "You've not given me a reason to slap you Nick so yeah, you could say we are friends now." Laying her head on Nicks shoulder and holding him tightly they danced until the music finally stopped and reluctantly Brianna pulled away but still held onto his hand as she led him back to their seats.

Sitting down she looked at the clock. It was getting late and although she hated to leave she knew she'd never get up the next morning if she didn't call it a night soon. She looked Nicks direction and with a quiet smile she said "Well Nicholas Lemmings, it has been a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance but it's getting late and tomorrows a work day. I've only got a short walk ahead of me to get home but I really guess I should be going now." Brianna attempted another smile. The truth was that she didn't really want to leave and was hoping that this wouldn't be the last time she had the chance to speak to Nick Lemmings.
