Hearts & Diamonds

[Mister J]

Closer

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

 

[Mephistophelily]

I wanna be evil
I wanna be bad...

 

[Mister J]

Eartha Kitt... yummies.

 

[Mister J]

*Walks through, setting his coat on the bar as he heads downstairs for a light nap. Stops suddenly, pulling a note out of his pocket. He smiles, reading it to himself before he sticks it up on the mirrored wall next to the register. Another look at it and he turns to head to the stairs.*

 

[Mister J]

Figured You Out

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

Only part I actually like in the song admittedly...

 

[Mister J]

Just Breathe


Stay with me,..
You're all I see.

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.

 

[Mister J]

The Way You Look Tonight

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

The Way You Look Tonight

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

I like the Tony Bennett version, myself. I know this post wasn't aimed at me of course, but I'm just sayin'. He makes me all melty.

 

[Mister J]

*on his way out, he tucks another lil piece of paper into the corner on the bar's mirror*

 

[Mephistophelily]

*slips a cd in his player before heading back to her own office for the night*

 

[Mister J]

Be Yourself

Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do

 

[Mister J]

Somebody That I Used To Know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

 

[Mephistophelily]

*Hurriedly rushes in through the side door, wrapped in an overcoat that's quickly left in one of the chairs. Left in the little red and black dress, she reaches back into the coat, pulling out a feather duster and setting to work on the club*

Ohhh, I've been slacking.. Terribly slacking... Shame shame shame on me...
*Mumbling to herself, working on the counters, smirking as she finds the little hidden notes and stuffing them into her apron pockets*

 

[Mister J]

*steps out of the sliding bookcase door and glances around, raising a brow at the sudden lack of dust everywhere*

I could've sworn this place wa--

*suddenly smirks, seeing her bent over to dust one of the rails*

Oh, well hello there...

*the smirk grows as he silently creeps across the hardwood until he's just about upon her. He leans over, trying not to touch her yet, hands reach around and he covers her eyes quickly*

Guess who?

 

[Mephistophelily]

*Jumps slightly at the hand suddenly over her eyes, straightening up a bit and holding the duster off to the side*

Umm....
Santa?
The Easter Bunny?

*Reaches the duster behind her and gets his arm with it*

 

[Mister J]

*rolls his eyes playfully*

Nooo... colder and colder, cupcake.

*arches a brow as the duster feathers brush his arm and then makes a face*

Are you attempting to egg me on towards some sort of punishment that would result in reddened and/or bruised skin?

 

[Mephistophelily]

*Squeaks* Now I know whooo!
*Drops the duster to the floor*
Not at all. Unless that's promise of it. Then I know much better ways to rile you up and get them.

*wriggles back against him*
Okay, so it's not exactly a Maid's suit. But I figured the red and black fit better with the whole decor here. *pauses, remembering something* But I forgot something in my coat. Goes along with it...

 

[Mister J]

Well, it can't be said that you don't know meee...

*watches the duster almost float down to the wood panels of the floor*

I do like the red though and it does seem to fi-- oh? Forgot something?

*glances back towards the long coat by the door and arches his brow, curious as to what could be missing now*

 

[Mephistophelily]

Mhm. *twirls away slightly, returning to her coat and pulling out the little piece from her pocket, coming back to him with a smile*

This.
*puts the thin black and red leather strap in his hand, smirking still.*
Care to help me, Pookie?

 

[Mister J]

*looks down at the thin leather strap, a big smile pushes his cheeks up*

Of course, Cupcake...

*runs his thumb over the black leather and between the lil red hearts then looks up at her and smiles even wider. He moves around behind her, making sure to brush against all the right areas, and brings the collar up to her neck. He brings the straps around, pushing one end through the buckle on the other. With careful fingers, he tightened it enough to be snug yet comfortable and took a step back to admire his work*

Lovely... in all the right ways.

 

[Mephistophelily]

*smiles as he inspects it, shivering slightly as he moves behind her and slips it around her neck, feeling the tightened pull against her skin as he slides the clasp in place. Reaching up gently, playing with the little metal ring, the smirk still standing*

Thank you, Mister. I feel better.
Now. Should I finish up? I haven't hit the corner there, or the bookshelves, or the side tables there...

 

[Mister J]

Oh, by all means...

*he gestures for her to go ahead. As she does so, he walks over to the couch and lays down, getting a good view of her as she works*

Don't forgot the duster there.

*smirks and points to the fallen thing in perfect view for when she bends over to get it.*
