He waited a few seconds before turning in the other direction. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket and kept his head down.

Felicity stood in the doorway of the apartment when she got there. It was too quiet and empty without Jade and she felt odd after the incident with the car. She grabbed a book and curled up in her favorite chair and in moments she was asleep, dreaming about dark superheros and party lights.

(how do we draw them together again? i think they need to meet outside the club)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Yeah. And I need to figure out a reason that Daemon is so fascinated by her. Other than her complete and utter lack of interest in him, lol)

[assassinrue]

(Hmm maybe something super casual like at a restaurant or at a park or something? whatever he would be doing when hes not clubbing? I think the fact that she's so different and difficult is reason enough and then later it can be other things)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Okay. I was also thinking he ends up making a bet with his friends, like in a book I've read.)

[assassinrue]

(a bet to get her?)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Yeah)

[assassinrue]

(Awesome )

Felicity woke up to an empty apartment and assumed Jade had gone home with her new toy. Felicity sighed and got up to shower, putting on some slightly nicer clothes than her typical jeans and hoodie and headed to the coffee shop a few streets down, her laptop and books in tow.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon sat with two other gang members at a corner booth, his arms draped over the back of the seat. They were joking and having a good time, and at that point he wasn't thinking about the impossible girl. He took a sip of his coffee and glanced up at the door as someone entered.

[assassinrue]

Felicity entered and went directly to the small bar in the corner that shared a counter with the baristas.
"Hi Matt." She greeted one of the baristas.
"Hey, love, your usual?"
"And eggs and a muffin."
"You got it deary."
Matt was probably one of Felicity's favorite people. He was a friendly, lovely British man who had moved here with his husband to open a bakery. The place had turned into a favorite and Matt and Ricky were well loved. Matt was the quiet no nonsense type with a mountain man beard and swept over hair, she loved his attitude. Ricky was more outgoing and happy, a clean shaven tiny little man. They were nearly polar opposites and a joy to be around.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon stared at her as she walked across the room. "Hey, dude, you know that girl?" one of his friends asked.

"No," he muttered.

"Really? Because you're staring at her."

[assassinrue]

(lolol)

Matt and Felicity chatted quietly for a moment before he went to help other customers and Felicity took out a book she was reading and laid it out over the counter top, leaning over it slightly.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Fine, I've met her. Once. At a club. I tried to hook up with her but she completely blew me off," Daemon said. "Happy?"

The guy laughed. "Someone blew you off? Dude, this must be remedied. You're gonna go seduce that girl. I'll even pay you. Bet you can't do it."

[assassinrue]

Felicity ate as she read, oblivious to the stares of the men at the booth. Matt watched the boys, he knew when boys were planning something and he was ready to intervene if necessary, but he knew Felicity well, she could most certainly handle herself.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon glared at him and then glanced at Felicity. "And if I refuse?"

"Then you owe me five-hundred dollars." He grinned maliciously. "What's the downside here, Daemon?"

Daemon looked at his coffee for a second before standing up and walking over to sit beside her. "What are you reading?"

[assassinrue]

Felicity startled then glared at him. "The Greatest Show on Earth. It's about evolution. Why?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Daemon shrugged. "Just curious. I read sometimes, you know."

[assassinrue]

Felicity giggled. "That's a good joke." She looked back at her book, sighed then closed it, deciding not to be a bitch for once. "What do you read?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Mostly history books. Ancient cultures and societies, that kind of thing," Daemon said. "But don't go telling anyone. Don't want to look like a geek." He winked at her and grinned.

[assassinrue]

She smiled at him a little, uncertain. "Do you read Greek mythology at all?"
