Lorelei stared at the mostly empty apartment. Tony was already in the kitchen mixing them some drinks. Though he said tea it seemed he was wanting for something with more kick.
"Why's it so bare in here?" Lorelei asked walking into the kitchen.
Tony smirked and handed her a drink. "I moved in just before a tour so I didn't have time to get everything all home-like," Tony said.
Lorelei took a sip of her drink. "So none of the flat is personal?" She asked.
"The bedroom is," Tony said smiling. "Would you like to see?"
Lorelei followed behind him as he showed her to his bedroom. He opened the door, and they walked in together. There was a large bed to one corner with nice white sheets. Around the room were guitars on display.
"It's more personal than the living room," Lorelei said turning back towards Tony.
Tony smiled and took a drink. "Did you enjoy today?" He asked sitting down on the bed. He patted the spot beside him for her to sit down.
Lorelei sat next to him timidly. "It was fun. I wish I had money enough to do it more often," She said.
"What about someone to pay for it?" Tony asked.
Lorelei looked Tony in the eyes. He had that damned smirk on again. "I suppose that would be just as good," She said. She kept thinking about how nice it was to have thing bought for her and how nice it was to have a nice lunch.
Tony was drinking his drink and staring at her as if he was trying to decide what to say. "What would you do for treatment like that?" He asked leaning towards her and cocking his head.
Lorelei's heart was beating fast against her chest. "What would I have to do?" She asked. She already sold her soul once today. Selling it again couldn't hurt. Especially for a better price.
Tony leaned forward and kissed Lorelei. She put her arms over his shoulders and put her free hand into his hair. His free hand was on her upper thigh. She slowly uncrossed her legs and pressed her chest closer to him. His hand went to her inner thigh and gripped it a little tighter.
Tony moved away from Lorelei and smirked. "Just what I ask you to," He said dragging his hand down her thigh until he was touching her knee.
Lorelei took a sip of her drink, and watched Tony with her lips pursed. "I can do that," She said finally.

Tony had his arm draped over Lorelei's shoulder as he walked with her to the party. He had her dressed in the green and black dress. She was wearing the same black heels she'd been wearing all day. As they got closer to the party people with cameras started to take pictures of Tony and Lorelei.
Tony smiled at the camera, and Lorelei took the same approach. Tony's grip tightened on Lorelei's hand. He pulled her closer and smirked at her. He kissed her quickly. The cameras flashed at this little gesture. Then Tony began to walk with Lorelei to the party again.
"Are all the parties you go to like this?" Lorelei asked.
Tony shrugged. "I didn't even know this one would be like this," He said as they started up the stairs to the apartment that was hosting the party.
Tony stopped by the door for a moment. He looked at Lorelei and smiled. "I wonder if my mates are here yet," He said.
Lorelei shrugged. Tony stepped into the apartment. It was packed tight with people. Tony would stop and introduce Lorelei to people as he walked through. She could hardly keep up with everyone.
Tony stopped by two men. "Allan, Bobby," He said smiling. "Do you know where Bernie and Graham are?"
"I think Graham's chatting up a girl. She's blonde if that helps any," the dark haired one said, "and I haven't seen Bernie at all so he might not be here yet."
"I'll look for them in a bit. Bobby, this is Lorelei, Lorelei, this is Bobby," Tony said gesturing to one of the men. He was wearing a funny little hat. Lorelei smiled and held her hand out for him to shake, and he shook it.
"It's a pleasure," Lorelei said politely.
"I'm Allan Clarke," The other man said before Tony had the chance to say anything. Lorelei shook his hand as well and smiled.
"Where'd you and Tony meet?" Allan asked.
Lorelei glanced at Tony trying to decide how he wanted her to answer.
"I saw her at a modelling agency," Tony replied, "and we met at a bus stop."
"Then he asked me to lunch," Lorelei added.
Tony smiled and pulled her closer. "Isn't she perfect?" He asked.
"I'll say," Came a voice from behind Tony.
Tony turned around and saw Graham standing there. He smiled. "Who's your lady friend?" He asked.
"Lorelei Stevens," Lorelei said holding her hand out for him to shake.
Graham smiled and leaned down to kiss it like a lord to a lady. Lorelei blushed and brought it to her chest once he released it. Tony frowned slightly and put his arm around Lorelei's waist. His eyes were on Graham's. He was trying to decide if he should be more protective of his date or ignore Graham's actions.
"How did a nice girl like you end up with a bum like Tony?" Graham asked laughing.
Lorelei smiled slightly. "He's very charming," She said as her head spun.
Graham took Lorelei's hand suddenly as a song began. Lorelei didn't know the song, but she was suddenly swept up dancing to it.
"Oh, won't you stay, just a little bit longer," Graham sang along with the recording hitting some very impressive high notes.
Lorelei's eyes wander looking for Tony. He was right behind Graham. He tapped Graham's shoulder, and as Graham turned around he slipped in and took Lorelei with him. Lorelei smiled at Graham as Tony danced her away from him.

"I don't want you to get near him. He's got a thing for blondes."
