She was very radiant, each time he hovered around her entourage she was either greeting some one or dazzling some one with her smile. There was something distinctly classic about the woman that made her seem like a modern Jackie o. Copper colored tresses bounced and shook as the woman kept dodging questions about the future and fate of Maia. She kept the tone jovial and on the important issue of why they were gathered. Unlike the people around her, she only gingerly sipped from one class of white wine. Galvin put down his tray of wine in the privacy of the kitchen. He had yet to see any of the brothers though he learned the eldest would not show his face. He leaned against the counter resting as his thumbs moved to text his brother on the small bits of information he could gather. Galvin completely abandoned his tray of wine for some hors d'oeuvres.

he had already gotten the woman to drink most of the wine and was already hailing down a server for another glass

He saw a man gesture for another glass and idly he went to retrieve it. It was a small wonder he could keep his composure at the other once again had another body of flesh wrapped around his finger. Galvin snatched the glass away and did not return with it until he made his other rounds.

she was all but his when the server came back and the drink was unnecessary. waving off the man he kept his eyes trained on the prize. sweetly he kissed a soft wrist. "i will return shortly, wait for me" smug in his victory he headed for the bathroom

When Ambrosia left he walked back over to the abandoned girl. He gave her a message saying that her date wished to meet her downstairs in a cab. The girl excitedly chattered as she was ushered downstairs to the waiting cab. Galvin smiled as he gave her the address to a hotel that was on the far outskirts of the opposite end of town. He was so gracious enough to give her a faux phone number the young lady could call if but was given firm instruction to wait in the lobby least she ruin her mysterious lovers surprise.

when he returned with clean breath and an extra dab of cologne she was gone and a quick browse around the room showed her absent. he rolled his eyes over female incontinence and lackadaisically made his social rounds while he waited for her to return

The smile on his lips was irresistible. He watched the other but there would be no wanton sex for him tonight. Galvin walked up to Ambrosia and silently offered him a drink. The smile never faded from his lips.

paying no mind to the server he shoo'd the man off and in return a familiar growl issued from the strange lips. his own quirked into a grin. "nice wig, i thought you gave up stalking me, or is this just for fun now?"

"I like a challenge, I was more disappointed that you gave up." The ends of his smile never faded. "and its au natural." He said touching his hair, running a finger through it releasing one of the natural curls. "I know what I want, and I can't seem to get it any other way then a direct source. So I can either keep stalking or I can pay you. The choice is yours Kenneth."

he chuckled. " i thought it was dick and this week's rent is paid, are you asking for extra?"

He shook his head. "No I have come to collect on that dinner I missed out on, but mostly a serious conversation, if it cost me extra I am willing to pay as long as you give me straight answers." Since his rouse had fallen, Galvin decided it was time to take his hair out of the uncomfortable knots. "Its up to you Dick."

the grin eased into a smirk. "you don't have to pay for what is owed though you have poor timing. you will have to wait until i am finished here, is that manageable or will i have to beat you into compliance again?"

"Beating me? or getting your ass pounded?" He walked up to Kenneth and lightly slapped his face twice with the same smile on his face. "Where would you like to meet when this is over? Or are you going to kidnap my dog and I again from the park?"

the grin turned lecherous once more. "both, just keep an eye out and find me, i am sure you can do that easily enough" without waiting for an answer he headed back into the thick of the crowd to schmooze with idiots wanting his grandmother's money

He was not given time to protest, instead he went back to doing his job of politely serving guest for the next hours. It was easy to pick Dick out of the crowd, the mans hair was like a shark fin among the waves of people. Slowly the guest started to trickle out and Galvin and the rest were left cleaning along with a few guest of the family. He stole away to follow Dick as he left the building.

he did not flinch as pyce popped up and slid next to him as though he had been there all along. saying nothing he climbed into the limo with the other trailing behind. he ignored susan and the jelly-fish
