Lingerie? Ooo lala (( very very open ))

There were a few things a woman could never have enough of, lingerie was one of those things, at least according to Alexandra, parking her midnight black BMW Z3 near the strip she walked the last part towards the shops, her long nearly black hair was held back by a simple silver clip which she once bought in 19th century Paris, the silver had aged over the years but the metal hadn't lost it's shine and sparkle, her outfit casual but stylish, noone in their right mind would think that this young woman was an assassin, a vampire who killed just as easily as she bought a new set of lingerie.

Spotting a Victoria Secrets store, she headed inside, finding a couple of pieces to her liking she causally browsed the store in search for that one special set she was looking for, spotting a black and pink matching set she added it to her basket while chatting with the sales girl who came to assist her.

"Anything to your liking miss? we have a whole new line of exclusive lace and embroidered bra's and panties if you would like to take a look"

Following the girl over to the newest batch of luxury lingerie she smiled to herself imagining the look on Panos' face when she showed him her latest purchases.

Standing in the black heels as soon as Frank had secured the second ankle strap, Amby stopped and studied the strappy little sandals he'd brought for Alexandra. The lines were good and she nodded. Those are super sexy and will be great for the summer. You should get them, oui!

She'd taken a step towards the mirror when she heard someone else walk in. Catching a sliver of reflection in one of the display cases the blonde frowned. There was something familiar about her. Hearing her name spoken, Amberelle turned and gave Suki a wide smile, instantly recognizing the pretty human.

Bon nuit, Suki! Doing fabulous now. Check these out! She twisted her leg to show off the Dolce and Gabbana shoes. You shop here too?
Alexandra 17 years ago
Alex watched the new comer with interest, keeping a straight face she took a couple of steps in the heels she had on, smiling at Amberelle as she commented on them she nodded her head.

"Oui, these are coming home for sure"

Grinning she turned back to Frank as she held out a new box to her, inside where a pair of Azzaro sandals, gasping as she opened the box she looked up at Frank, she could kiss he man amongst other things.. picking up one of the sandals she held it out in the light, the well placed spots decorating the ceiling of the store made the tiny crystals sparkle and glimmer, deciding that these were the ideal shoes for her she nodded at Frank, taking off the other pair she watched as the man bend down and placed the shoe on her foot, putting the other one on as well she walked a few steps.

"Frank, if I didn't have one hell of a sexy boyfriend I would snatch you up and put you in a cage"

Laughing out loud she winked at Amberelle, they had no idea that that was probably what she would do to the man, only she wouldn't keep him in there for long as he would most likely end up as a midnight snack.

Suki inspected the shoes Amby wore. Their stylish lines had her tapping a finger against her pursed lips.

"Those are very sophisticated. Nice, classic and stylish. I think they are you." She ended with a smile. Looking around she blinked for a moment, slightly stumped as to where to look first. Toying with the end of her braid that had found its way over her shoulder she pondered.

"Actually this is my first time here. I am hoping to find some fun things for Fallon's closet."

Sitting down heavily next to the Anantya she waved the fringe of hair across her lips briefly. With a shake of her head she pulled herself out of the daze she was in.

"This place is something else! No wonder you always have awesome shoes."

Pulling her PDA from the purse on her shoulder she tapped quickly to bring up the inventory she kept on the shoes in the house. This was the only way she could not double purchase things and thankfully she had small thumbnail images of each shoe for verification. The other woman made Suki smile with her comments to the worker. This must be THE place to shop with this kind of atmosphere.

"Please wait till I get some shopping in too before you lock him in the cage!" She winked at the dark haired stranger.
Alexandra 17 years ago
Upon hearing the name Fallon being spoken Alex's eyes narrowed, could this be the same Fallon who had caused Panos such harm? managing a smile at the young woman as she winked at her she sat down to take off her shoes.

"I'll try and behave"

There was a hint of humor in her voice, only the people who knew her well could read the under tone in what she said, this Suki as Amberelle called her seemed to be a personal assistant judging from her PDA and the way she carried herself, feeling it was only the most polite thing to do she got up and walked over the other woman, extending her hand she smiled.

"Hi i'm Alexandra, Amberelle just introduced me to this shoe heaven"

Giving the asian woman one of her most charming smiles she looked her over once more, yes most definitely a personal assistant or secretary.
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
Thanking Suki with a modest smile, Amby nodded vigorously at Frank with the expression he knew very well. It screamed 'these are SO mine!" He slipped them off for her with a slight chuckle at the other women and their banter. Gathering up the boxes into a neat pile for the blonde, he looked patiently between the other ladies.

Miss, if you need any help please, let me know, he offered to Suki with a smile.

Looking at Suki's handheld her eyebrows shot up. Such a clever idea, why hadn't she thought of it! The blonde was sure she could use such a system. Maybe she'd get the young familiar to show her how it worked.
If you want things for Fallon, I'd be happy to help.. and Frank there has a sith sense, so you're bound to find something she'll adore!

Blushing faintly as the other woman introduced herself, Amberelle gave Alexandra an appologetic smile. She'd forgotten her manners and failed to introduce the human, to her embarassment.
This is Suki, she's the.... assistant, to one of my cousins, Cyrus. Fallon is his fiancee'.
Alexandra 17 years ago
Turning to Frank she told him to put the boxes she had tried on at the cash register and she would be with him in a short while, crooking her head to the side as Fallon spoke she almost snarled at the mentioning of Cyrus' name, so Fallon was the one she knew, keeping her emotions in check she put her shoes back on.

"I know you're cousin and his fiancee, we met a while back"

She didn't give any other details on the how and where she met the both of them, letting the other two women know she knew the subjects of conversation was enough, calmly walking over to where Frank was waiting near the register she payed for the shoes with her goldcard.

Frank thanked her brightly and gave her his card which she put away inside her wallet, smiling at the clerk she walked back towards Amby was standing.

"Thank you for your introduction to this store, it's been a real pleasure, I won't keep you up much longer turning to Suki she gave her a thin smile, It's been nice meeting you"

Turning back to Amberelle she handed her her card, letting her fingers grace the other womans for a moment she locked eyes with her, amber meeting almost black.

"Call me sometime, we can have lunch"
Suki Langston 17 years ago
Shaking the other woman's hand Suki smiled. "Pleasure to meet you Alexandra. Suki Langston."

Frank seemed quite amiable and she hoped to find some new additions from this store. Perhaps her own closet could use one or two, she thought. Though her musings were ended as Amby expounded on their own connection and Alexandra's reaction. Odd, though she said she knew Cyrus and Fallon it was not clear if it was a good or bad thing. Perhaps it was just a casual acquaintance since Suki was not aware of this woman.

The familiar watched as Alex paid for her purchases and offered her an encouraging smile to her somewhat tight one.
"Was nice to meet you as well."

Trying to be inconspicuous as the two women of whom she so rudely interrupted spoke, Suki went through the listing of friends. No listing matched the name, but some vampires went by several different ones. Flipping back to the shoes she made notes of several places that could be filled by strappy sandals while she listened unobtrusively to the goodbyes.
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
There was a subtle shift in the demeanor of her new friend that left Amby puzzled. 'Maybe she'd planned on me for food and Suki's arrival interrupted that when she found out we knew the same people.' The thought made her giggle. Poor Alexandra would have been in for a very rude awakening if she'd tried to bite the blonde. 'Still, I hope I didn't upset her somehow,' she thought with a slight frown furrowing her brow.

Lunch some time sounds good... if you don't mind that it's usually around two a.m. when I have it! A slight giggle came out and she shrugged as if to say it couldn't be helped. Maybe that would help impart she was more nocturnally inclined than most. If not, well Amberelle would simply have to tell her when they got together next.

Reaching into her bag she tucked away the other woman's card, and pulled out one of her own light blue linen calling cards. Handing that over the Creole gave her a very warm smile as their eyes met again. Please give me a call soon. I can tell you about some other great little places here to shop if you like! Winking playfully, Amberelle kept her smile in place even as she wondered about her luck with making friends. At least she and Meegan had met up again recently. Hopefully that meant her luck was turning around.
Alexandra 17 years ago
Taking Amby's card from her Alex smiled back, part of her didn't want to leave, there was something about this woman that she liked and that was something that didn't happen to often to her, she wasn't a girlie girl, she never had a girlfriend, someone she could go shopping with or just hang out with and go out to lunch, she wanted to know more about this amber eyed woman with the enticing smile.

"You know.. looking at her watch the night is still young, we could go out for a drink if you're free, it would be a waste to throw away such a lovely evening don't you agree?"

Grinning at her comment about being a late luncher she nodded her head.

"Don't worry I'm no morning bird myself"

Turning to Suki who was browsing in her PDA she smiled at the other woman.

"I hope you don't mind me steeling Amby away from you turning towards Amberelle that is if you are free of course, I'd like to drop my bags off first, my car is parked not too far from here"
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
Amberelle blinked, then grinned widely at Alexandra. Maybe her luck was changing indeed! No, no plans.. a drink sounds fun! The blonde turned an appologetic smile to Suki. I hope you don't mind..? I'm sure Frank here will take excellent care of you! Pulling out another of her calling cards, she handed it to the human. I saw that program you have and.. mon dieu.. I could use something like it. If you have time give me a call, won't you? I'd love to find out about it!

Glancing back to Alexa, she giggled. My car isn't very far away either.. She sat back on the leather bench as she pulled off the latest pair she'd tried on and let Frank come and scoop up her choices. We could swing by both of them and drop off our bags then head someplace, if that sounds good?

Quickly pulling her boots back on, she headed up the the front register and handed her charge card to the clerk. Leaning in she whispered quietly to him with several suggestions to show the familiar for Fallon. The Anantya had a feeling animal prints might be found fun, and some more practical but sexy styles.Several different Manolo's had popped to mind and she passed that along. Fallon had seemed very down to earth to her so she imparted that to the attentive salesman, who nodded happily as he filed the knowledge away.

Bags in hand, she spun and gave a girly giggle and grin to the Parisian. Ready?

((permission to move her along to the car(s) for Alexandra!))


(OOC Opinions of Fallon simply her own and taken without permission!)
Alexandra 17 years ago
Noticing the slight surprised look on Amby's face Alexa just smiled to herself, looking over at Suki she hoped she hadn't offended the other woman cause that was not what she had planned on doing, she just wanted to spend some time with Amby, trying to get to know her better.

"Ok that's great, we can drop our bags off then and go for a drink? some food? either way is fine by me"

Waiting for the blond to finish her purchases she took out her mobile to check on her messages, there was one from her housekeeper telling her the house had been cleaned and tidied as she requested, there was another message from the florist telling her a delivery of white roses had been made to the apartment to replace the old ones, she had hoped Panos had left her a message, but she wasn't worried, she knew she would probably see him when she got home later.

Returning the phone to her purse she nodded at Amby, waving to Frank and Suki the two women left the store, holding too many bags for their own good, both chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for years instead of about an hour, arriving at Alexa's black BMW Roadster she pressed the key to open the trunk, putting her belongings inside she locked the car again, taking a short walk towards Amby's car which was parked near her own.


Suki Langston 17 years ago
Suki looked up when Alexandra addressed her and smiled. While she was not quite sure about this woman she would not stop Amby from going with her. Even if the familiar wanted to talk to the Anantya about the odd look at the mention of Fallon and Cyrus.

"You two have fun! Sorry to have interrupted your evening."

A warm smile crossed her face at Amberelle's comments. It had been a long difficult search for just the right program to catalog all the clothing and shoes for her vampires but the program was a life saver. Leaning closer to the vampire and offering her own purple and silver card she made her goodbyes.

"Its not a problem at all. You two have fun. Be safe." The last two words were very quite and matched the serious look on her face. She knew from Cyrus that Amby could take care of herself but still, she would hate to have anything happen to the clan mate.

Watching them leave the store, Suki kept the smile on her face open and friendly, but doubts churned and she could not say why. She would talk to Cyrus upon returning home and see if he recalled this Alexandra. It was a shame that she did not catch her last name but she could ask Amby tomorrow.

Frank was wonderfully helpful and in forty minutes she exited the store with three bags and ten boxes of shoes. Cyrus may regret allowing her free reign on purchases with the amount of smoke coming off her business credit card. She and Ginger laughed the rest of the way home.


((Suki out. Sorry to have imposed.))
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
When they reached the cute BMW, Amberelle made soft noises of appreciation. The blonde was a fan of fine motorcars and Alexa's was a nice little roadster. Studying it as the other vampire stowed her purchases, Amby idly wondered if there were secrets hidden under its pristine exterior like the ones hidden inside her own blue gem's. Perhaps sometime she would inquire. Not that she would expect such secrets to be freely given. But, it could be a fun discussion.

Filling the short half block walk to her own car with idle chatter, Amberelle used the small key fob to pop open the trunk of her gleaming dark blue metallic
Aston Martin convertible. Gently caressing the rear with great affection before she lifted the trunk and set her bags into the pristine and seemingly empty boot space the blonde couldn't hide the smile the car brought to her. A thousand pairs of fine shoes would gladly be sacrificed if it would keep a scratch from marring the sleek sports car's body.

Lowering the lid with a soft click as it closed, she leaned a hip against the fender and smiled at her new found friend.
Ok, so what sounds better.. we could go grab some good coffee or maybe something a bit stronger? Her golden eyes shone with delight as she waited for Alexandra's input.
Alexandra 17 years ago
Softly whistling in approval as they reached Amby's Aston Martin, Alexandra grinned at the other woman.

"Nice wheels you have there"

Walking around the car she let her fingers softly run along the metallic paint, almost as if she was caressing the skin of a lover, looking back up at Amberelle as she spoke she bit her lip for a moment while considering her options, she wasn't really in the mood for coffee, the night was still young, maybe they could go have a drink and explore a few clubs.

"There is a bar not too far from here which offers great cocktails and even has a small dance floor if one feels like burning some calories"

Tugging a strand of hair behind her ear she smiled, the club she had revered to wasn't too, the boots were private though there was also an option to sit at the bar or one of the more exposed tables.
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
It always gave her a swell of pride when someone admired her car, and the blonde just grinned at Alexandria. Yes, the other woman appreciated a fine vehicle. That always bumped people up a notch in Amby's opinion.

A club sounds fine with me, I could go for something stronger and I'm always game for dancing! Her golden eyes shimmered with delight. It didn't take much to get her excited at the thought of hitting a dance floor. Motioning to her jeans and simple top she quirked an eyebrow at the brunette. We're not too under dressed are we? I could change maybe, I think I have something in the car.. if I need to.

Shrugging after a second, the Anantya just grinned and answered her own question. What the hell even if we are underdressed, we're two gorgeous women with money to burn... I'm sure they won't care! Winking at Alexa, she walked over beside her.

So what club are we going to first? The night is young, let's see if we can wear her out! Excitement zinged through her and shone through in her voice. She was nearly giggly with delight. It was going to be a fine evening, Amberelle just knew it.
Alexandra 17 years ago
She loved to dance! OMG Alexa could glomp this woman and kiss her all over, grinning inwardly at the idea she looked Amy over as she mentioned her clothes.

"Well.. we could change, but you're right we're gorgeous and young, let them think what they want"

There were a few clubs on the strip that could offer them what they were looking for and if they didn't they could always move downtown to one of the hipper and darker clubs, that would involve them changing in some more suitable clothing, but that would only add to the fun.

"There is one not too far from here that we could check out first, at least get something to drink while we're there, they're not too strict on clothingstyles so i'm pretty sure we'll get in and if we don't we'll just have to kill them"

Wait.. did she have dinner yet? she might have to find something red and warm later on to fill her stomach with, but that could wait, winking at Amby to lighten what she just said the two women began to walk in the direction of the bar, people passed them by glancing at the two gorgeous young women, who made quite the sight walking side by side like that, one blond and almost golden skinned while the other was much darker and had a fair complexion.
Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
For some reason Alexa's choice of phrase just struck Amberelle and she burst into a fit of laughter. Giving the woman a playful wink to soften her words she quiped, Well, I have killed people for less! 'If only you knew the half of it,' the blonde thought happily. She loved it when she could make truthful statements and know people would never take them seriously. It was always good for an internal laugh or two.

The stares and attention was not lost on the Creole and she stood a little straighter and walked with just a little more of a sway. It felt good to be out and about and having so much fun. Maybe even after they left whatever bar they ended the evening at she'd wander through a dark alley or two and let someone volunteer to be her meal for the day. Her smile widened. Glancing over at Alexandra she again found herself wondering what, if maybe even any, clan she belonged to. Maybe they would be able to talk in a quiet booth.

Ok, so what's your poison...? Amber eyes twinkled with mirth and her voice was tinged with it as she confessed, I'm rather partial to tequila when I have the urge to raise a little hell.

((OOC - for the remainder of the thread Alexandra has rights for transportation / movement and basic things like dancing with her, etc))
Alexandra 17 years ago
Taking Amby by the arm the two women continued walking till the reached the bar Alexa had mentioned, making their way inside the laughed and joked as they passed through the crowd towards the bar, leaning towards the bartender Alexa gave him her most charming smile.

"Hi there hot stuff, can you bring me a bottle of

1800 Silver Tequila and two shot glasses"

The bartender gave her a big grin as she ordered one of the more expensive tequila's, turning to retrieve her order he looked Alexa up and down with a sly smile on his lips, raising an eyebrow at this she looked back at Amby as if the say "Men!" .

Letting the bartender know they would be taking a seat in one of the booths, both women casually strolled over, taking a seat the enjoyed the music and atmosphere, it didn't take long for one of the waitresses to bring over their order, pouring them both a glass and leaving shortly after, picking up her glass Alexa waited for Amby to do the same.

"To new friends, lingerie and raising hell"

Slamming the glass back in one shot she let out a content ahhh as the alcohol moved down her body.

Amberelle DeEspionne 17 years ago
Amberelle gasped as the tequila burned down her throat. Savoring the feeling, she simply grinned at Alexandra and nodded. Once she could speak again the blonde chuckled softly and replied, Somehow I think those go together very well.

The Anantya looked around the small bar. It wasn't too crowded yet, but the evening had only begun. Pouring them both another shot, she gave the Parisian a cheeky grin. So what kind of hell should we raise? I was thinking a couple more doses of liquid courage and we could see how long it took us dancing together to make the men here have a seizure? The mental image that conjured up had her giggling a moment before she continued. At the very least it should be fun to rebuff them.

Amby lifted her glass with a slight nod to Alexa and tipped back the clear liquor, downing the double shot in one sip. Hissing through a grin, she took a deep breath and her smile simply grew. Getting drunk would be difficult so she didn't worry too much, but she did feel a nice warmth curling in her belly.

I should warm you... Amber eyes narrowed slightly at the brunette as she studied her, I was going to be a professional dancer, so once I get started I can go for hours if you let me. Shrugging a shoulder delicately Amberelle added, It's kind of one of my passions.
Alexandra 17 years ago
Did she just say dance! Alexa's facial expression turned to one of pure joy, the idea of dancing and letting go was one of the things she loved to do most, she knew how to dance, REALLY knew how to dance.

"I bet we could cause a few heart attacks before this night is over and dancing sound wonderful and don't worry about dancing for hours I can keep up for sure, dancing happens to be a passion for me too"

Winking she poured them both another shot, looking around the club she noticed a few men at the bar looking both her and Amby over, smirking she bit her lower lip, boy would the guys in here be in for some trouble.

"So lets have another drink and then hit the dancefloor? this place looks far too quiet and calm for my liking, lets stir up some action shall we"

Nodding in a gesturing way to the men at the bar who were so clearly checking them out, raising a brow at her blond friend she took a sip of her vodka.

"How about we give those gentlemen something to look at"
