Aaron smiled after Chaelin complimented his house and his family members appearance. "Oh, thank you. We try" Aaron winks and he finished showing her his beautiful vista that boasted 10 rooms, 6 bathroom a downstairs workout area, plenty of acre space and pictures that were up on the walls only complimenting the house decor. The house was very spacious as well. "I don't even know who did this. My parents are insane when it comes to decorating, all my mom does is spend spend spend! He laughs as they made way back to the beautiful living room area that was carpeted and had plush couches and a beautiful fire place. "Here, sit down. Make yourself at home" Aaron smiled as he got off of his sky walker. Since the house was so big, it easily got chilly inside. Aaron went and cut the fireplace on and warm and toasty air started to escalate throughout the house. He enjoyed having company so he always wanted his guests to feel at ease and comfortable, before he sat down he muttered some words to Chaelin "You want anything to drink? I've got some water, orange juice, soda and even some champagne if you like that." Aaron's father had a mini bar with hundreds of different beverages so he wouldn't notice if Aaron popped open a bottle. He laughed waiting for an answer and he ran his hands through his hair.

Aaron shared a toast with Chaelin and drank the wine down. Although he wasn't a fan of wine, or drinking at all he did it very occasionally as a social thing, but never on his own. Chaelin was an attractive individual so Aaron did not mind sharing eye contact with her. When he finishes, he laughs after the wine goes down. "Is the eye contact thing a ritual people do when they toast with wine?" He smiled wondering since that was the first time he was told to keep eye contact with someone while they had a toast. He sat down next to Chaelin and nodded when when she asked if her friend could come. "Of course she can come, we've got plenty of stuff to do here so I'm sure she won't be bored any once she gets here. I'm always down for a party of three. Do I know her?" Aaron giggled a bit and proceeded to hold their wine glasses together. He poured some more wine into it the glasses and offered Chaelin some more. "Hope you're not scared to go another round". He smiled challenging her as he poured it into the glasses. "Don't start thinking I'm an alcoholic, this just tastes good for some reason. Plus I like the whole eye contact thing" He laughs picking up his glass and looking into Chaelin's eyes, waiting for her to do the same. He smiled a bit, showing his pearly white teeth that was only complimented by his smooth, clear skin and hair. "Ready?"

Aaron nodded listening to Chaelin speak about a family tradition when it came to toasts. "Oh wow, you definitely taught me something new. I had no idea that even existed but I'm definitely going to try out that tradition from now on. After pouring both glasses, he picked his up and handed Chaelin hers "Ohhhh, I think I remember who you're talking about. She's Spanish? And was dancing like the whole night? She seems like a fun person. Didn't really speak to her much though" Aaron briefly remembered Crystal from the party when Chaelin refreshed his memory. "Sure, just let me know when she's outside. I'll pay." Aaron was naturally a sweet guy and didn't like when people he invited out paid for things. He was often times a giver, something that he wasn't taught but something that was natural to his personality. "Toast to....having fun and leaving all the the problems at the door!" Aaron smiles clacking his glass against hers and drinking down his wine. After drinking, Aaron blushes a bit when Chaelin compliments his looks. He cheeks turned rosy red and he winks at her playfully. Despite the amount of times people complimented the way he looked, he was always was flattered by the compliment as he didn't think he was as attractive as people made him out to be. "I usually don't" Aaron laughed "Maybe it's cause you're here..." Aaron finished the rest of his wine and sat back. There was no secret that they probably both found each other attractive but given the circumstances of Riley being in the picture, all of them being close friends, and Aaron being involved with someone else, their sly flirtatious manner with each other came unknowingly and playfully and really breaks the ice. Aaron could tell Chaelin was feeling more at ease. He smiled at her "You never even told me you found me good looking before, so way to make a guy feel all hyped" Aaron laughed. "So what have you been up to these holidays?"

It had been several days since New year's. Several days since probably the drunkest New years eve of 2015 Erich had ever had. The holidays were nice as it gave him an excuse to see Selene. She didn't strike him as the sort to phone up and call him "pookie" out of the blue. So he was going to either have to wait for the next big holiday or go see her himself.

Erich waited till around lunch time. He figured Selene had put in enough time and could easily be sprung from work. He barged through the door as if he owned the place,or was at least supposed to be there. "Miss Selene cassadine,please." he asks the man at the front desk. Erich was bold and brash,but usuAlly never rude.

" is she expecting you?" the man asks. Clearly Annoyed since he doesn't look up from his work.

Erich was never one to play the " do you know who I am?!" card, but he figured it wouldn't hurt here. " no. These are top secret label negotiatIons. Do you know what would happen to all of us if studio60 knew I was here and you were holding things up?! My god,man. Just me being spotted here is enough to make the news" Erich spouts in his best panicked voice.

" oh!" the man gasps and picks up the phone. Erich leans on the counter and tries to look like a huge selling act. " um...miss cassadine? There is a man to see you..he's not on the appointment book,but he says he is a studio60 act looking to defect?" he says looking to Erich for confirmation that his assumption is correct. Upon hearing this,Erich ducks down out of sight.

Ooc: smilies don't work for me...so picture the rolling around one.


" ok,go on ahead!" the man says to Erich,barely containing his pride at the small contribution he played in perhaps pilfering talent from a rival label.

" thanks,Skippy." Erich says with a tip of his pompadour. The man looked like a Skippy to him,and he wasn't going to let that go unaddressed. Erich make a his way through the building. He gawks here and there as he journeys. He fiddles with the copier and sends it off to make 300 blank copies before striding along. He finally comes to the door of Selene's office. At least He hoped It was hers and not a decoy. He gives the door a slight knock and rocks on his heels. Getting drunk with some one was far different than showing up at their office unexpected.

Erich couldn't help but smile a little when he heard selene's voice. He had grown quite fond of her. She definitely was unlike anyone he had spent time with before. "Of course she wasn't going to open her own door." Erich thought to himself while opening the door. The handle clicked with a satisfying sound as he turned the handle. "Selene! " he whisper shouts. ( it's s thing,trust me) he waits until the door shuts behind him before he speaks in a normal tone. " I was in the neighborhood and wanted to see of you wanted to dip out of work early." he says like he is dangling something desirable in front of her. While speaking,he does take a pen off her desk and pockets it.

Erich grins at selene's asking if he even had a job. Erich did work hard....but only in short bursts. " ouch. Right in ego,Selene. " he follows this statement with a little staggering around and holding his chest. " I'm trying to be a bad influence on you. Skip out for a three martini lunch ala mad men....or I could just keep you company here . You ever get freaky at work?" he jokingly says with a laugh while looking around the office. It was exactly the sort of office you'd expect some one like Selene to have. Spotless,businesslike,but very classy. " I did take a pen. And that's one dollar I won't be spending!" Erich sagely says before doing a quick doodle of Selene on a post it note. It was fairly accurate ,even down to the dress she had one. Erich shrugs and shakes his head. " no. I'm sorry Selene. No jumping ship for me. I'm pretty much signed for life. But I can slide you corporate secrets......" Erich hushes his tone and unplugs selene's phone. "Studio60's snack machines....I have the key to them. You want some fiddle faddle? I'm your man." Erich winks at her and slides a packet of fruit stripe gum under some papers on her desk.

Erich rolls the chair in front of her desk around absentmindedly giving the leather some squeezes. The sound clearly amusing him. " when you're a pleasure baron, you have a duty to be out and about,and to try to tempt and beautiful women into sloth.especially the hard working ones." Erich rubs his hands together like any cartoon devil would . in spite of his lecherous reputation and public persona,Erich really didn't ogle Selene. At least not until she drew attention to herself. " oh my god! You have?! Even I usually wait till after work. You little scamp!" Erich chides. He couldn't say he disliked the more he knew of Selene. She had a very respectable wild streak. She certainly proved that on New years. " I make no promises in regards to getting you home at any particular hour. Besides,its more fun when you break curfew." Erich says with a mischievous smile. Try as he might,he really couldn't picture Selene using a vending machine. Not even for a bottle of water. " I'll dust off my binoculars now. Yup.A great team. A regular rock and roll express and Jim cornett. I wouldn't knock vending mAchines though. I wouldn't be here without them. I still live off that Crap on tour." Erich doesn't have a coat to put on, but he rearranges his shirt . it seemed the polite thing to do. " hungover? " Erich asks, surprised . " not in the slightest. I find keeping a little drunk staves off those nasty things. You, on the other hand....." he trails off with a chuckle. Selene could certainly put the liquor away with the best of them.

Erich laughs and slicks the side of hair back. " nah.that falls under more of the "perks" thing . for a job,im a crafter of pleasures of the soul.....or in layman's terms: stupid songs about terrible subjects." he was under no illusions where his band fell in the great scheme of things. Though it was a bit of a hit on the ego that a rival label probably had no idea what he did. He followed Selene's wishes and flipped off the light and checked the door.he gives it a good tug before catching up to Selene.not especially in a rush as it was entertaining to watch her walk. " so ...who cleans your office? I mean, you don't even answer your door." Erich slowly says when He goes over what Selene said in his head. " I can understand that."Erich slowly comments. Selene certainly seemed to ooze sex from every pore, but not in a sleazy way. "I kinda have that problem too. I've seen more of weekend naked than any male should. " he says with a loud laugh.his was indeed a strange life. Naked boy band members one day,dating a studio big shot the next. As they wait for the elevator,Erich ponders holding selene's hand or something. But decides against it. Who knows what they are to each other? It could mAke things weird. He settles on flicking the latches on her big purse. " by your count?!" Erich scoffs with a raised eyebrow. " you could have blacked out and lost count." he teases her gently. "But I'm feeling generous. And seeing how it's impossible for me to flatter you,I'll buy you that drink." Selene certainly had a high opinion of herself. But hey, if she could back it up, Why not?. When she compliments him, Erich deeply blushes. Its some thing he rarely hears. From anyone. Much less someone who always seems to look like a million bucks. Even when dead drunk. " thank you ,Selene. I gotta admit, I didn't want you being seen with a street urchin."

"things you shouldnt know.' erich quipped with a laugh. he knew just what a quick google would bring up on him. there wasnt exactly anything bad attached to his name. but there was certainly colorfulness to be found. "and you still agreed to see me? you ARE the adventurous one. but i will tell you,the story about the creamed corn is WAAAAAAY exaggerated.i honestly dont even like eating the stuff". he gives selene a playful smirk. the creamed corn bit was near legendary. but it really was only mentioned as means to make people accept what could be crude remarks as merely light hearted dirtiness. "oh, i thought you said you didnt trust the cleaning people with your office of secrets. i see what you're saying though. got the old nanny came in the pencil holder. " erich slowly nods and taps his finger to his temple. erich found her spoiledness rather endearing. there wasnt anything phony to it. erich looks up from her purse latches and into her eyes. "well i certainly wouldnt want to date anyone who couldnt at least keep up with me. if they can out drink me? well all the better." he says cheerfully. it never had been really established if this was an exclusive thing,or just a hanging out sort of thing. but erich felt confident enough to say "dating". erich laughs her her not a feminist comment. " a fantastic point. though i think that would make you a feminist. at least in the classical sense. whats good for the goose is good for the gander and all that.though these days? you're going to have to lose some clothes and proclaim how bad you are." erich says with a hint of distaste. outside the elevator erich also waved to the fellow employees of selene. it just seemed the right thing to do. the awkward waves back were worth it. erich knew who was going to be the subject of office gossip tomorrow. "your car. im still a little drunk and took a cab here." erich truthfully said. like most any part of his life,erich had his own set of morals. he would drive under just about any drug. but he refused to drive after drinking. "let me see if i can guess your car." erich says while scouting the parking lot. there were loads of bmws and mercedes. too pedestrian for the likes of selene. there was a bently.but the color was a little too tacky. she was flashy and probably loved to be looked at,but not for having a huge bank account and poor taste. "im going with the land rover. its classic black,spotless and says "bitch,im in charge." or the fiat." he says pointing at a rather out of place looking little fiat.
