The bartender raised an eyebrow at the girl as she set a box on the counter of his bar. \u201cYou\u2019re that Summer girl, right?\u201d he asked absently, and then nodded as he stepped away to find his employer. Several minutes later, he returned, \u201cVex\u2019ll be out momentarily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And several moments later, the Mesmer appeared, walking over to where Summer stood at the bar. He was dressed in his finest. \u201c\u2018Ello, Precious,\u201d he greeted, \u201cYa called?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Amusement touched his features as he listened to the girl stumble over her words; it was almost cute. \u00a0He paused though, glancing at his own outfit when she brought it up, \u201cOh\u2014well, it is<\/strong> Valentines\u2019 Day. I was going to\u2026 you know what, never mind that; why don\u2019t you stick around, and we can go upstairs where it\u2019s a bit quieter?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Oh, I don\u2019t want to make you change your plans,” Summer protested, hands up. “Are you laughing at me? You are laughing at me! Don\u2019t laugh at me, Vex, you horrible creature.” She said the last with laughter in her own voice, shaking an ineffectual fist at him. “Oh, fine.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A chuckle escaped the Mesmer\u2019s lips as he commented, \u201cDrunken \u2018ookers are \u2018ardly plans, love.\u201d There was a pause as she laughed, and he found himself smiling, \u201cYes, I am, now c\u2019mon, lets go upstairs, baby.\u201d It wasn\u2019t a common one, but the pet-name fell from his lips affectionately as he offered her his hand, the other moving to pick up the bakery box.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Drunken hookers?” Summer repeated in a vaguely offended tone. “And don’t call me that, I prefer ‘precious’.” Nevertheless, she put her hand in his and let him pull her upstairs. She felt under-dressed next to him, in plain black jeans, white peasant shirt and low-heel ankle boots. Then again, they’d never matched well in looks, only contrasted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
