A DiVine Meeting( Marie, Venus, Open)

[marie]

Marie sat there at the coffee shop at the loop that Venus told her to met her at, she was suppose to be here half an hour ago. The woman called her and told her she was running late as she was just leaving a meeting, sighing she turned her head to the side watching people pass by slowly. She wore a pair of faded blue jeans and a pink top that offset her skin tone nicely. Tapping a finger as a waiter brought out a sweet tea and asked what she wanted as she raised her brow.

“I didn’t order that and I will still with water thank you” She said, the waiter then informed her that Miss. DiVine would gladly take care of the bill when she arrived. Marie looked at the waiter and smiled him as she then thought for a second.“Well then a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese” She ordered as she waited, tapping her foot. “ I thought a lady was always on time…” Sighing as she decided to see if the woman would even show.

Venus saw Marie and heard her as she walked up behind the younger woman. She smiled as she smoothed her fitted pinup wiggle dress that was a cute cherry print. This dress had a red sateen trim along the angular neckline, and sleeves; with a matching red sateen 1 inch slide belt. Her scarlet lips parted as she started to talk. “You are right a Lady is never late but a true Southern Belle is always fashionably late…” She said in her drawl ; she grabbed her sweet tea and took a sip.


“So you are Marie, without the makeup." Venus said as she walked around the girl, her eyes scanning her up and down. The jeans looked good on the girl not that Venus would ever be caught dead in them...at lest on the street. " You are very beautiful, I can’t wait to buy you the new clothing. What Era do you want it from? The question is can you handle the stares we will get?”

Venus smiled as she fixed the vintage-style Juliet hat that had feather accents and the perfect amount of netting to create a gorgeous veil. It was black and added to the dress as people looked at her, sitting down at the table as she watched Marie eat her bagel. “So I figured after shopping we can go get a bite to eat and then we will discuss your living arrangements since you are my personal secretary and I will need you close by me.”

Marie took a breath as she jumped a little then turn looking at the woman that walked to her. Her mouth almost dropped as she was shocked to see a woman of this caliber call her beautiful, it was almost like a dream or one of her favorite movies My Fair Lady. She watched the people staring at Venus as she understood everyone want of this woman. In fact she was in the want of her too; slowly she drew her eyes away from the Southern Seductress as she went back to her drink.

“I think I could handle everything you throw at me, Venus” Marie said as she rose her eye brow at the Era question, was this woman serous. “I think that I look best in this Eras clothing, thank you very much.” She said as she finished her coffee and her bagel. She couldn’t help but wonder what she got herself into but there was something about this woman that made her want to be a better person; something seemed untouched about her.

Marie saw men and women talking back and forth with each other as she felt her face flush a little. She knew it was about Venus and she felt the need to protect this obviously naive woman even thought she put on a show, she could see the truth in her eyes. Living on the streets as long as she has made her smarter in ways that most people don’t get in school, she learned common sense. Venus his a big secret and Marie had doubt that it could be eviler then she flushed a live fish down the toilet.

Venus looked at the woman as she gasped in shock; it was fake as she smiled that rye smile on her face. “ I do declare I do not throw anything at anyone …I toss it, it’s more lady like.” She giggled out as she wrinkled her nose in a cute way. Slowly she crossed her ankles as she pulled out her cigarettes and lit one. Taking a drag off of it as she looked around letting the smoke out in rings as she licked her lip her eyes falling on the people that passed by counting how many people looked at her.

She looked at Marie and smiled and nodded at her words. “Well if you want this Era my peach in training I can’t help you that much Mar Mar…If you can’t tell I am stuck on the 50s and the 50s are stuck on me.” She said in that little winey voice that seemed to get people to do what she wants. She watches Marie only roll her eyes and shake her head, hum this girl may be a good choice as she looked back out to the people and sighed.

“Some times I wonder if I was born to late in this world, my morals and my values seemed to be more than most people these days. I guess I will have to live and keep on trucking even if people try to bring me down.” Venus looked at Marie her eyes taking a serious tone to them. “And Remember Marie all women are doves even if they are soiled they still can be cleaned off an their feathers shimmering white again”

[marie]

Marie looked at Venus as she tried not to let the shock show on her face, this woman was more than meets the eye and Marie wanted to break this egg open. No one could be this perfect and this woman was so sweet she was causing cavities in everyone around her, it was sickening. She tapped her foot while she watch Venus put on a show for the world to see and Marie knew it was just that a show.

She wondered why Venus put up with so much from these people, there something almost angelic about this woman with how she acted. Marie wanted to know what was going on as she saw Venus laughing and joking with older military men, the older woman seemed softer in the way she acted towards them, she acted real. Not the farce that Marie see, the mask that Venus started to fall apart as she was these men Making a mental note of this as she smiled, she now thought she knew part of the secret of this rare flower.

[jack]

Jack was walking from his apartment, he loved Chicago, it was his city busy and arrogant. Jack was going over his notes in his head, his bag from Mykael safe at home. He was going to have to go about this carefully so as not to catch the Butchers attention. He loved the life of this city, the diversity of the people and the character. To Jack Chicago was business, the Cubs, and the Bears... to him his holy trinity. Walking the streets Jack could usually pick up good gossip, and tidbits of ideas for a good story. Every now and then he would hear an accent and listen in to see what was being said about his beloved city. Today was no different... till he was near a little Coffee Shop and he heard it. Jack almost froze he heard it, the slow southern drawl of a slightly crazy woman of high class. Venus had to be near.

[wilddance]

Venus scanned the people walking by as her eyes fell on one man inperticular, it was Jack she was fuming inside that he didn’t call her. She then had the wicked glint to her eyes as the smile to match it appeared on those scarlet lips of hers. Venus stood up from the table and walked to the low railing surrounding the people inside.

“Well Butter my butt and call me a biscuit…” Venus paused as she saw the men around adjusting things and raising a brow as they all shot dagger at the man she was talking to. “Look who showed up. Aren’t you tall glass water, Jack? I am hurt that you didn’t call me , I was hoping to do lunch with you today since breakfast was so inviting…” She said with a teasing undertone to her words.

She looked around and wondered how she would get over there to him as she saw two marines sitting there decked out in their dress blues, what a picture this could be. She slowly turned to one of them and tapped his shoulder. “Hello sir can I ask of you to help poor little me to get over this rail to that man right…Because a woman of my class cannot be seen crawl over this and showing her under things to the small children around here.” She faked a blush as she fanned her face as they nodded to each other.

One moved on each side of Venus as they took her wrist in one hand and slipped the other under her upper arm and lifted her as she graceful accepted. She pulled her legs under her with her knees bend and twisted to the side, looking like a true pinup model all that was missing was her hands in her hair. Lights flashing all around her as she smiles, lowering her legs as she walked right up to Jack after blowing the men kisses for their help.

“Why Jack You look good enough to eat today…” She said as she moved into him as she gave him a hug and then peck on the cheek waiting to see if would at least return the hug. “I implore you to help poor defenseless little old me run my errands with Marie over there and then insist I take us all out to supper, you know what you yanks call dinner. We can always do Denny’s again if you want.” She finished with a wink.

[marie]

Marie watched this story unfold as she took a sip of her coffee, happy to have the limelight of Venus turned on someone else. A smile creep across her face as she watched the woman basically had two of the strongest best looking men here bend to her will and then fuck with the man she was going too. This was almost as good as watching ‘How the World Turns’ on crappy day time TV, the only good thing was she didn’t have to sit through people talking about items she couldn’t buy.

Marie curiosity was spiked when Venus said Breakfast was inviting then Denny’s again. Then she saw the man and her mouth all but dropped again, it was Jack Manning , one of the crooked but greatest journalist out there. This man put so many drug pusher and dealer behind bar she could kiss him if wasn’t that damn ugly at least in her eyes.

If fact he helped land her ex life in prison, due to not only pushing drug on helpless like she was but other crimes she shuttered at the thought of. Taking a deep breath she waited to see what he would do with Venus again thankful it was not her.

[jack]

Jack's eyes rolled up as she kissed his cheek, what was with this woman. No woman this attractive would want to be seen in public with him...let alone while being tailed by the paparazzi. He gave her a one armed hug, looking at the hooker from the night before this should be interesting. He reluctantly accepted her offer as he walked into the shop by the entrance. He made his way to the table the faster he accepted the faster she would get him out of her system. Then she could find a guy worthy of someone like her not a low life like him.

Jack sat at the table and looked at the hooker from the night before “I see you took Miss DiVine up on her offer.” Jack looked at her... she looked better than the make up covered hooker she was last night. “So Miss DiVine how can a reporter like me help a lady like you shop?” He looked at her and then added “I cover the scummier parts of this city not Macy's or the like.” He was the furthest thing from the fashion beat as a kid in a boxcar derby is from the 24 hour La Manz. He was dreading this he knew he looked like something out of a pulp novel and her a 50's pin up. Shopping to Jack was worse than a root canal done with tools used in the eighteen hundreds. This was going to be a long day and it was going to try his patience.

[wilddance]

Venus rose a eye brow at Jack as the Marines brought her back over the railing as she smiled at them both. “Well that is too bad since Macy’s is one of the stores I am going to take this lovely Peach in training.” Venus said as Marie rolled her eyes, chuckling as she looked at Jack again. “I need arm to rest on for a while and another one to carry my bag.” She winked at him as she licked her lip.

“Unless..You can think of other ways to help me out?” She purred at him, moving to sit on his knee as she flipped her hair and adjusted her hat again. She took her iced tea in her hand and took a sip, it was sweeten with honey not sugar and made for her since she preordered it on the phone. She sighed as she finished it and handed her black visa to the waiter to close them out. “Well are we ready to go yet?”
