A Night Out (for Highfly, open thread)

[Hitman45]

JJ's response to Allison's side hug was to...not return the hug and stay still, her expression darkened to show that she clearly wasn't pleased with the unexpected intrusion between the couple's lovey-dovey time and it was to be expected, considering the fact that that the manner in which they had met the first was less than amicable and definitely not pleasant enough to enjoy meeting outside the ring again.

Taking a refreshing sip of her soda, the raven-haired woman listened to the words of the pissed off ebony woman, who minced no words when firing shots at her. It was as if she had been waiting to let it all out and was yearning for the chance to do so. Allison though let her get it out, not a wrinkle on her face listening attentively to everything Janella had to say.

"Hmm..." Her eyes narrowed, shifting her weight to one leg easing herself."You know, Janella I was hoping to just say hi to you and your man here before being on my way...But if you want go down THAT road and spoil your pleasant day...so be it" She shrugged. "Maybe it was good fortune, maybe it wasn't luck...but, looking at your defeated, humbled and battered butt limping out of the ring after the match, I would like to lean towards the latter..."

Allison took another swig of her soda, letting out a refreshing exhale with an 'ahh' sound."Also, if you want to talk about luck, then yours was in the damn trenches when we faced off, you know... YOU issued an Open Challenge, YOU wanted to climb up the ranks for a title shot. I just responded to it. So, the fact that you lost a fight that was on your own volition with the crowd backing YOU up, sparks volumes about the curse that was bestowed upon you that day. SO, however you want to spin the narrative about it, the bottom line is— I handed your rear to you, and I believe that I can do so again... There was a certain edge to the tone at the end of this reply.

Allison, having appreciated JJ's man's form, shifted her gaze towards him again, craning her head upwards to make eye-contact after JJ introduced him. A fine guy indeed. Physically dashing and from his words, very friendly and cordial, although the raven-haired woman caught the blush creeping up his cheeks when she had eyed him, enjoying the effect she was having on this man.

"Okayy...I ain't trying to steal no girl's man. He's all yours. Though, a man can have admirers, can't he, Mr...? The pleasure is all mine..."The initial words were directed at JJ and then, extending her own hand to shake, Allison hoped that he would fill up that silence."Ah, It's fine. Don't worry about it. I guess you might have gotten the gist of what had happened that day from what I said though!"A slight giggle escaped her lips."Yeah Yeah...You support your girl. She's a keeper" Her gazed shifted to JJ for a moment before returning back to the man."Looking at how close you both are, I would be surprised if you DIDN'T support JJ....though I wouldn't mind if your eyes wandered elsewhere..." Allison winked, clearly teasing this gentleman.

[Highfly]

JJ shook her head and frowned. "I know how it works in LAW. You know there is bad blood between us so you coming up with that fake ass hug was just that, fake. We all can see through it girlie. Now if you think your pasty ass can offer a fine man something I can't then we all know you are crazy. Look all ya want but remember that Kyo can judge character." JJ said to Allison as she moved closer to Kyo. She was silent after and instead of glaring at Allison she looked up at Kyo and smiled instead. She wanted to shift her attention away from this interloper who she thought was trying to steal away her date.

[Underdoggo]

Kyo was, figuratively speaking, caught between a rock and a hard place as the two ladies argued bitterly. It was quite clear that there was no love lost between JJ and Alison. It was doubly clear that Alison was looking at Kyo ever so hungrily, and her teasing comments made him blush more than a little. It was even more clear how this was pissing JJ off, and how protective JJ was getting of him as a result.

"I...um...".Kyo stammered. He got awkward when flirted at at the best of times. Being caught between two beautiful women who were openly feuding over him made things even worse.

He straightened up, and tried to maintain what dignity he could. "I'm flattered you think so highly of me," he said, "though I assure you, I'm afraid I only have eyes for JJ. Of course, if you two were to try to settle your differences in the ring again, I will more than happily be there at ringside...though I also hope the two of you can ultimately put this ridiculous feud behind you."

[Hitman45]

It was obvious by now that JJ did not appreciate Allison's presence in the midst of the couple's date and she made no effort to hide it, infact snuggling closer and closer to her man as she spoke, as if marking her territory. "Well, you tell me Janella..." Allison took a large swig of her soda, which seemed closed to be finished and elicited a sharp exhale after slurping. "Would you have had me running up to you, getting in your face and we both got down and dirty here and now; pulling hair and kicking feet or....simply hug it out here and take our business in the ring? Though you don't seem to be that patient, no? " Allison folded her hands, a smug grin on her face as she then eyed the man, whose name was revealed to be Kyo.

The man was polite and gentle but still finding it difficult keeping it together as both the women were going back and forth. Allison locked eyes with him as he tried to get his words out laboriously and nodded knowingly. "Oh, don't worry, I am not trying to steal you or anything. Though I would appreciate your presence IF JJ and I square off sometime again...." Her index finger absentmindedly extended towards Kyo's chest, as if to poke it, only to pull back at the last minute. This was fun...

[Highfly]

JJ smirked and stood with a hand on her hip as she glared at Allison. "As much fun as it would be kicking your ass at the beach in front of everyone we can save it for the ring. I will dismantle your skanky ass and leave you wondering what hit you." JJ said before her eyes lit up as Allison was reaching out to touch Kyo. JJ was about to slap Allison's hand away when Allison pulled it back.

Instead JJ would wrap her arm around Kyo's waist and look up at him. "Well apparently this woman and I do agree on you being present ringside. I will of course be more than happy to accompany you whenever you step in between the ropes as well." JJ said with a smile. The thought of him coming out with her, and vice versa, was enough to visibly put JJ in a much better mood again after Allison's appearance had taken things down a couple notches.

[Underdoggo]

Kyo blinked, in surprise and more than a little alarm, as JJ physically slapped away Alison's hand as she absent mindedly tried to extend a finger towards him. For a brief second, Kyo tensed, thinking that the two women just might start brawling here and now on the beach. He was about ready to intervene and come between them when JJ instead put an arm around his waist and continued to taunt Alison. That was fine. Taunting was fine, as long as it didn't end up in a physical brawl.

Still, Kyo had a feeling that the longer JJ talked to Alison, the angrier she was going to get. "Come on, don't let her get to you," he said. "Let's take a seat at that mini bar over there, and cool off." Glancing back to Alison, he would nod politely and saw "It was nice meeting you" before slowly trying to divert JJ away from her rival and away from the trash talk.

[Highfly]

In any other scenario JJ would have gladly brawled with Allison but she was trying to make a good impression on Kyo despite Allisons best efforts here. As Kyo suggested they walk away JJ gladly went with him her arm still around him as her other hand gently pat his chest. "You are right, she isn't worth taking up more of our time. I'm here to be with you which is so much better than being anywhere near that cocky... woman." JJ said. Kyo had a way of calming down the hot-headed JJ. It wasn't something she was used to as usually she and her mentor Sienna Smith played off one another amping things up. This was a nice change, a change JJ could get used to.

"Thanks baby." She said resting her head against him for a split second before she realized she called him baby and was getting super close. She hoped not too close so to avoid scaring him off she moved her head back off but kept her arm around his waist. "A drink sounds real nice right now. What are you gonna get?" She said with a grin looking up at Kyo.

[Hitman45]

Seeing JJ trying to swat her arm away just as it was about to reach out to Kyo and poke his chest, and miss due to Allison pulling it back at the last moment, Allison giggled. Janella was certainly protective of the man and made it known through her actions. The way she snuggled closer to Kyo as they bickered, Allison's wasn't going to lie, it was cute.

Kyo wasn't certainly feeling great trapped in between both women, who weren't looking to stop anytime soon, evident in the way Allison retorted in response to Janella's clap back. "Dismantle me? Uhh...You tried that before and you certainly achieved great success, no?" sarcasm dropped from her tone.

But Kyo was trying his best to put out the fires and managed to rein in JJ somewhat, who seemed to cool down as well, and then curtly greeted Allison, his way of words suggesting that they were about to be on their way, seeing as Kyo pointed to a conveniently set up mini-bar visible nearby.

Allison shook her head gently. She had definitely barged in unnanounced and despite that Kyo was polite towards her, trying to calm JJ down and diffuse the situation. She couldn't bother them anymore, atleast for his sake. "Well, I will take my leave now. You both continue on. Enjoy the day."

Allison extended her hand towards Kyo for a parting handshake, which she was sure would be accepted, and then would glance at Janella and do the same. Should JJ have reservations about it, Allison would widen her eyes, before speaking "Come on Janella, I will be out of your hair, shake up on it! What kind of impression would you be making in front of your man, if you aren't even happy to greet? " A knowing smile formed on her lips, certain that JJ would be a spot of bother, torn between her choices.

Irrespective of how Janella was going to react, Allison would leave, going in direction opposite to which the couple were moving. The can of soda was empty now and a trash can was visible nearby and was in range for Allison to throw the can and punt it into the bin. After the successful depositing of her can, which would definitely invite a few hoots, Allison was going to walk away, swaying her hips while running a hand through her hair, her shades reflecting the sun off them. Now, her eyes wandered to the crystal clear waters and which looked primed for a swim.

[Underdoggo]

To Kyo's immense relief, Allison didn't press the issue further. If anything, she seemed to take the hint and back off to allow Kyo and JJ to take their leave...though not before offering a courteous handshake to Kyo. He accepted the handshake, of course: how could he not? He only hoped that the act would not piss JJ off too much.

Speaking of JJ...her closeness to him, with her arm around his waist, made him blush more than a little, but it did not at all feel unwelcome. So he reciprocated, his arm circling her firm midsection, pulling her a little closer to him. As the two walked towards the mini bar, he slid into one of the seats.

"So what are you thinking of getting?" he asked, before leaning in a little closer. "Also, are you okay? You were really agitated by Alison back there."

[Highfly]

JJ smiled as the two left Allison behind. She looked up at Kyo all smiles. "She is a cocky newbie who got a lucky win against me that is all. I will make it up to her when the time comes trust me." She said with a wink. "I am good though, being here with you makes it easy to forget haters like that you know?" JJ added patting his abdomen.

As they got closer to the bar she smiled and looked over the menu. "Hmmm... a margarita would be nice or a blue Hawaiian sounds good. If its tropical, flashy and just seems like a colorful tasty drink I am all for it." She said as they approached. "Thanks for being a gentleman back there too, it is a big reason why I really like being around you."
