on the eyes, but he wasn’t going to be like his father at all.  He wasn’t going to be smitten by every nice butt and a smile.  Some of those gathered here were truly nice on the eyes for sure, he found himself looking for more than just a one night stand even though his body was craving so much more.  Whoever he ended up with would have her work cut out for her, in the meantime, he found he wanted a dip in the pool and some chaos as well.  With a smirk on his face.<br/><br/>“Aren’t just a charming bloke.  Can charm the birds from the very trees.”  Nick sat down with his dark blue shorts with wave symbols all along the sleek bottoms.  “So is that your date for tonight?”  Nick knew his words had bite to them, the godling of light didn’t like at all when his charms didn’t work on those of the fairer sex and Cassandra didn't seem interested in him for spit!  Most of the time he was able to get some of them to see his point of view, he wasn’t sure if it was his words, his touch, or his cologne.  He always smelled pretty good but the scent whatever it seemed water-based so Nick was able to block it having a decreased sense of smell himself.  He wasn't sure but the sun god was clearly off his game, if he was ever on it?!?<br/><br/><br/>Apollo was still trying to figure out what he said that turned Cassandra off so badly.  He was just expressing himself, not like she knew him so she didn’t know what his triggers were or he didn’t know what hers were.<br/>Maybe she thought she was a good parent and her words were more affirming than she thought.  He simply didn’t see them that way and he expressed.  She raised children, but maybe they were all the same…the same training styles couldn’t be applied to all children, or maybe she was just used to everyone instantly loving her and doing what she said.  Sure he had both mother and abandonment issues, so there were other things to overcome or simply they were to just share the house and stay out of each other way at best!  Then Nick wanted to come along and just barge into his thought.  “Oh Nicky boy…heard from father lately, or better yet he sent you a picture of him on vacation in the keys with another family?” Apollo and Nick had seemed to dig at one another despite their different background it seemed like playing the ‘dozens’ was in their genes.<br/><br/><br/>“Nah, but I heard the ‘stag line’ at the ball was going be rather short tonight.  Apollo party of one!”  Nick made it a point to push the buttons he knew were sensitive to be pushed.  Apollo worked out and made himself to be in place to attract women, it was a shame that Phoenix had what Apollo wanted…more partners than he could shake a stick at.  “Maybe in your next life you can come back as a ‘female’ and you can finally get laid!”  Nick gave him a most sinister grin.<br/><br/><br/>“Or better yet I can get reincarnated as your father and lay everyone!”  Apollo’s quip was too quick and maybe almost too punchy.  But they knew the heel of each other and Apollo was in a mood now and couldn’t help but dig in.<br/><br/><br/>“I have one for your illiterate ass…”  As he held up three fingers.  “…read the one in the middle!”  He said while at the same time a large foot came out of the water and slammed into Apollo hard all but knocking him down and coating him with water.  “Lil Light-Brite ass biznatch!”  Nick put on his sunglasses in frustration as he leaned back waiting for a fight it seems.<br/><br/>Apollo realized they had gone much longer but he realized after the ceremony this morning it was probably too soon to go all-in so this time he might have just deserved that one.  He moved to get up and go take a shower in his.  He realized he had probably hurt his friend and he would have to apologize…later.   But he moved to shift a less dense form and jumped to the air only to land on the stoop to their house as he went inside to shower and decide on what he was going to wear to the ball tonight.  There no need to fight over that one...he was in the wrong even though he hadn't started it.  He would see him later and make it right...just not right now!<br/><br/>
