[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon hesitated before he answered. "I honestly don't know. I guess I'll just have to wait and see."

[assassinrue]

Felicity took another sip of coffee "it'd be interesting to see you try to be a boyfriend."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon laughed. "Yes it would. I'm not sure that word is even in my vocabulary."

[assassinrue]

Felicity gave him a funny look. "Definitely not in your vocabulary." She said teasingly.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"It could be, though," he said casually. "Someday."

[assassinrue]

Felicity snorted. "When you're middle aged with a beer gut?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon looked highly offended. "I will never have a beer gut. Even when I'm 90, I'm going to be in shape. I'll be one of those hot old men."

[assassinrue]

Felicity crinkled her nose. "I'd rather not think about that."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon chuckled. "It's a long way off, anyway," he said. "No need to think about it."

[assassinrue]

"Gladly." Valerie said. "I guess I should go. I have classes."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I'll see you later, then," he said. He grabbed his now-empty coffee cup off the counter and stood up. "At least, I hope I will."

[assassinrue]

Felicity gave him a half smile. "Im sure Jade will keep dragging me to the club."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Fingers crossed," he said, holding up his middle finger wrapped around his index. He winked at her before walking back to his friends.

[assassinrue]

Felicity stared after him. What had just happened? She would never have thought that obnoxious person could've had a decent conversation.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

One of the guys slapped him on the shoulder, but Daemon batted his hand away as he sat down. He didn't glance back at her, mostly so she couldn't see the smile on his face.

[assassinrue]

Felicity practically skipped out of the cafe. Maybe Daemon wasn't half bad.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon left shortly afterward, though his friends stayed behind. He headed home, his head spinning with his conversation with Felicity. He wasn't sure he'd ever held a conversation like that before. A real one, not just flirting.

[assassinrue]

Felicity couldn't stop thinking about Daemon. Part of her hated that and part of her was intrigued by him and his strange effect on her. She actually wanted to see him again.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

That night, when eight o'clock rolled around, Daemon dressed for a night in the club--leather jacket, dark jeans, and a black t-shirt with a band logo on it--and left his house. He wondered if Felicity would be there, and realized he'd be disappointed if she wasn't.

[assassinrue]

"Jade, what are you doing tonight?"
"The club with Adam, did you know he dj'd there??"
"No. Um, J, can I come?"
Jade stared at Felicity. "Well I suppose we need to get you into something more club appropriate then."
Felicity smiled a secret little smiled. "Let's dress to impress."
