Office Hours, Monday, 3/9

[tyler_gone]

It was Monday and a slightly bruised Tyler was in his office, idly mentally replaying the spars from the day before. He still couldn't believe someone actually wrestled a wolf; that was taking the whole man-vs-nature thing a little far for his tastes.

But he supposed hitting a teenage girl for fun was up there on the craziness scale, too.

The office door was open, and he was ready for any distraction.

"Honestly? It was a little boring," she admitted. "I mean yeah they had swimming, spas and whatnot but that only interested me for about ten minutes. So I spent most of it shooting clay pigeons on deck. Got a nice tan though. You win any money or go to any shows in Vegas or was it all about the bees?"

"Sounds like I didn't miss much," Tyler said. "I came out about fifty cents ahead at blackjack. Spent it on a candy bar. Tony made us go to Armani. but mostly, it was a lot of lying around."

"Armani, huh?" she said with a smirk. "Sounds like he made the bee stings worth it. Or at least I'm assuming there were stings."

[tyler_gone]

"Apparently Tony Stark's entourage does not shop at Old Navy," Tyler said, still sounding a little sour about the whole thing. "And yeah, there were stings all up and down my arms and a couple on my neck. Fun times."

"Well at least you got a free suit, right?" Lindsay said sympathetically. "And at least you're not allergic to bees."

[tyler_gone]

"Thank God none of us were," Tyler had to admit. "I don't need to come back from Vegas swollen up like that blueberry girl in the chocolate factory movie."

"I don't think there's enough benadryl in the world for that kind of reaction," Lindsay smirked. "Plus they'd have to re-tailor your suit."

[tyler_gone]

"Yeah, and they'd have to roll me back onto the plane," Tyler said. "It would be embarrassing."

"Well you could still be the skeleton with a body of bees," she pointed out. "Can't tell me that's hard to ignore."

[tyler_gone]

"No, I don't think he gets to go out in public much."

Lindsay gave him a grin. "I imagine. So. Am I going to see you in this Armani suit any time soon?"

Tyler took a deep breath, deciding the worst she could say was no. "We could do a housemate night out," he suggested. "Italian place is nice."

"You mean I don't get a fashion show at home?" she teased. "Oh well. I guess an Italian dinner wouldn't be so bad."

[tyler_gone]

"I could put it on then break down your door to get you to undress me, but I think that's your thing," he teased. "C'mon. I'll even spring for the wine that didn't come in a jug."

"Okay. I'm going to wait for a time when something dumb happens to you and you're never going to bring up the leather pants again," she said with a groan. "And you so are buying the wine."

[tyler_gone]

"I asked you out, I'll buy the wine," Tyler said gallantly. "I'm not going to get any big guys with dreadlocks after me, am I?"

Not that he would mind that. He just liked being forewarned.

"It's just dinner right?" she smirked. "I don't think he'll be too jealous."

[tyler_gone]

"Thursday night?" Tyler suggested, with a nod. "And I can take him."

He really, really couldn't.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you can," she said rolling her eyes. "You're talking about taking him to the movies or something, right? And yes, Thursday's fine."

[tyler_gone]

"Ouch," Tyler winced, with a laugh. "Sounds like a plan."
