Lorelei

She had always been a loner throughout school as far back as she could remember. She never truly fit into any of the typical cliques. Now a writer a d even more of a loner she had unfortunately promised perhaps her only friend throughout school that she would attend the 20 yr reunion. Arriving she realized why she was barely what you would call acquaintances with most of the people in the rented banquet hall. Shayla motioned her over. Perhaps one of if not her only friend throughout school. Shayla could mingle with and get along with anyone. Shayla was busy talking with a couple of guys. She suspected they were husband's of actual students till Shayla introduced them. Lorelei couldn't believe it when Shayla called them by name. The fraternal twins who seemed to run most of the less common school teams... Martial arts... Gymnastics and the expected football.

Shayla just called this stunning woman over and it's Lore? No fucking way... Gods she hasn't changed at all... Still so real so... Lore. It's asinine looking back we had let ego and rep prevent us from the focus of our dreams back then. Lore was a mystery that most didn't have the guts to solve. However now we are not stupid kids... Easy wasn't what we wanted... They were still all around us. Even more so now in this room since our bank accounts matched our former highschool egos. Nope... We wanted real and we were willing to share it... Maybe?

----------------------

Shayla knew exactly who she was looking for when she dragged Lore to the reunion. She knew Lore would love two men together... Hell at least a third of her books ended up that way and she knew just who she needed to make sure Lore saw. Shayla knew they both liked Lore back then but pathetic school hierarchy didn't exactly have a place for Lore to fit in but now... Shayla was going to play mat blamed.

Hey guys... You will never believe who I got to show up. Wait here...

LORE! Come here you have to see who I just found.

Lore sighed and walked over..

Geez Shayla. Would you be any more loud and obnoxious... Who....

She paused...

Hey guys... Been a long time...

James and Jason were standing in the corner sipping their drink and looking over their classmates. Some of them haven't aged well at all and they laughed to themselves as they saw some of their rivals on the football team walking around with an extra 100 pounds. They were making small talk amongst themselves as Shayla walked up.

"Wow Shayla you look great," James said and then frowned as she walked away. He almost dropped his drink as Lorelei walked up.

Jason looked up from his drink and smiled, a little more composed than his friend. "Hello Lorelei," he says smiling and offering her a hand. "What brings you here tonight, I figured with the rough time you had in high school you wouldn't be here tonight. I must say I'm very happy to see you here tonight. And judging from James's reaction to seeing you he is happy to see you as well" he said with a chuckle.

 

[Asa]

Lorelei just laughed.

Blame Shayla here I would have been content to be at home writing. Gotta keep the publishers happy and meet the deadlines.

Shayla just smiled.

Hey you have plenty of time to write all that hot steamy romantic kinky stuff tomorrow.

Lore just rolled her eyes and smiled to both of them. God could she picture them on the cover of one of her books.

So you two look great what have you been up to?

 

[mathpro18]

James blushes a little at Lorelei's question. "I'm a model" he says shyly and runs his finger around the corner of his glass nervously.

Jason says "Retired football player, now I'm in charity work. I feel my years in the NFL gave me an opportunity to give back so I do."

[ooc]Hope this is okay?[/ooc]

 

[Asa]

Always suspected you liked the camera James. And wow big surprise you went NFL Jason.

She smiled.

Well James ever done any book cover work? Or would you be interested?

Shayla had slipped off unseen happy with herself.

Why don't we go sit down guys and catch up.

Lore smiled she was actually enjoying herself and actually talking to people who were not griping about deadlines or book signings or sales.

 

[mathpro18]

The boys take a seat, Jason pulling out a chair for Lore.

James shook his head "No I haven't done cover work, mostly..." he pauses a deep blush crossing his face and he takes a drink from his glass.

"He's an underwear model" Jason says with a bit of a snort. "He would love to do something where he keeps his pants on but he's pretty much been type cast now that he's been such a huge it in the underwe..." Jason is cut off by a hand upside the back of his head.

"Yes..well...What have you been up to Lore? I heard from a mutual friend that you were a writer? Hows that going?"

 

[Asa]

Going well. A few different book series and stand alones published and always looking for new faces for the book covers. That is if you think you could handle being on the cover of some erotic novel... Either one of you... Or both.

A devious little gleam in her eyes as she took a drink watching their reactions. The truth was she wrote about romance and paranormal erotic novels and all that but it was perhaps a way to express what she truly wanted out of life. She had never really dated much and the few times she had tried to have a meaningful relationship her luck had been... Well let's just say sbe was a wild storm but all the men before in her life could only handle a little speck of rain.

 

[mathpro18]

James nods bashfully "Yes I'd be interested...I can give you my agent's card if you would like? He does all my booking for me. I don't think you will get Jason to do it though, he doesn't want to tarnish his public image."

[Asa]

Well James I will take a card and have my publisher pass it on to the creative director and I am sure they will be in touch. I can understand why Jason might refuse but I would have to admit being a little disappointed.

She smiled and seeing the server walk by ordered another drink.

 

[mathpro18]

Jason and James both order another drink and James gives Lore the agents card.

"So other than writing what have you been up to? Are you seeing anyone now" Jason asks.

 

[Asa]

No not for a couple of years. What about you James or you Jason?

She shook her head slightly thinking about the last relationship and how he had started out loving and supportive and then turned out to be petty egotistical

 

[mathpro18]

Jason and James look back and forth at each other for a second before both shaking their heads "No we're single at the time being. Both of us are coming out of relationships that didn't work out. Realized that we made better friends with our partners than anything else. "

 

[Asa]

So aren't we the trio... Probably some of the most successful from our class aside from Shayla Ms. Real Estate mogul, and we are the ones who are single. I don't even see friendship happening between my last relationship and I. He... He was Jekyll and Hyde in a way. Supportive one moment and petty egotistical ass the next.

She shrugged and smiled slipping the card into her purse.

 

[mathpro18]

"Well it helps we were both friends with our ex's for years before we started dating. Little piece of advice...don't start dating after a night of tequila induced fucking...it won't end well" James says and then laughs.

 

[Asa]

No I imagine not.

She noticed the look that had passed between the two of them and suspected that they knew the others ex or perhaps it was something far more interesting. We're they interested in each other? Oh her mind began to dance over interesting ideas of the two of them with her.

 

[mathpro18]

"So your single now then, I have a feeling that won't last long huh James" Jason says while nudging his friend in the arm. James shoots him a glare and glows almost crimson.

 

[Asa]

Me not being single after my last break up... That would take a miracle.

She heard her phone buzz heralding a text and sighed quickly grabbing her phone up briefly from her purse. Signing seeing it's a text from her publisher.

Does this asshole ever sleep?

Quickly sending him a pic of the business card with a message get him on one of my upcoming book covers.

 

[mathpro18]

Hearing Lore's phone go off James excused himself from the table and headed towards the restroom. Once there he pulled out his cell phone and made a quick phone call.

"Tom, its James, you're about to get a phone call from a publisher about the cover to a romance novel. What ever it takes I need you to land this for me, the author is a friend from highschool...yes...no...yes...look just make it work" he says and then hangs up. He steps over to the sink and splashes some cold water on his face. A moment later Jason comes in.

"Who would have thought, the woman you've lusted after all these years shows up tonight. I didn't think she'd have the balls to show?" he says as he comes up behind James who stiffens as he approaches.

"Don't start" he says as he pushes Jason away. "Look, yes I had a crush on her years ago, but this is going to be a professional relationship if something starts."

Jason laughs "So you weren't in here talking to your agent about making the deal work and you weren't blushing like a school girl all night because you want something to work between the two of you? Come on James I think I know you a little better than that?"

James just sighs and looks at him "Think it will work this time? I missed my opprotunity last time...I don't want to miss this time."

Jason moves up to James, embraces him in a hug and then kisses him gently on the lips "Yes...it will work out."

OOC:
Hope you don't mind a little character development/behind the scenes post

 

[Asa]

(ooc thsts cool... Though thought they both wanted her lol)

She gets a text back where the hell are you and why him to which she growls faintly st her phone and replies

Just make it happen... Or else!

With that sent she shut her phone off completely for the evening. Shayla walked over seeing the two of them gone and her typing on her phone. Shayla had her arm around Jackson's waist.

Run them off already... Seriously Lore?

 

[mathpro18]

(OOC: oh he does he just doesn't want James to know that, he's underplaying it to not hurt his friend. Though when things develop its going to be more harmful but whats a story with out conflict.)

After about 10 minutes the boys come out of the bathroom and join lore again. "Hey want to get out of here and get something to eat? My treat" Jason says smiling. "James can tag along as well."

 

[Asa]

Why not. All three of us... Sounds fun...

She causally added.

Getting out of here especially. So all one car or meet up somewhere?

 

[mathpro18]

"Well I have the limo outside if you want to jump in? I can either bring you back here to pick up your car after or just take you home after dinner? Does the friend you were talking with want to join us? Shayla was it?"

 

[Asa]

Shayla took off with Jaxon. No surprise there they have been on again off again since sophomore year.

Limo... Okay procrastinating on my work might as well do it in style...

She laughed knowing that when they brought her back for her car the classic muscle hemi cuda would surprise them.

 

[mathpro18]

Jason picks up his cell and pushes a button on it. James leans over and whispers in Her ear "Kevin his buttler" and then chuckles before adding "god forbid the man lift a finger..."

A few moments later they are all in the limo. The limo was a stretch hummer that was done out in green and gold fabric. There is a giant 'G' in the middle of the Limo and there were autographed pictures around the interior of the car. The seats were polished leather and there was a mini bar and a very expensive sound system.

 

[Asa]

Nice...


She sat back looking around.

So where did you have in mind?
