Apparently, his comment was lost on her. Maybe it was a bit too hood for her and realized he was probably needed to use his office voice or his party here would be over before it even started. He couldn’t very well charm anyone of them if they could not understand him.<br/><br/>He watched as Dom came in like a tidal wave and was ordering Jon about.<strong><em>‘Wow?!?</em></strong>’ It took him off guard and he didn’t like the way things were going for his new friend. He did his best not to frown but the only thing that came to his mind as he watched it…<strong><em>‘Played!!’</em></strong>He used to be like that and realized that is what happened to a nice guy…they got played. He would talk to him later.<br/><br/>He did notice Logan looked long in the face, he pondered what…he didn’t see the hottie Rhonda any…oh…okay that made sense…<strong><em>’ wow he was really into her.’</em></strong>He noticed Dom with her forward nature stepped right up to him and began questioning him. He could see the boldness in her and found she would probably have a date or several before nightfall.<br/><br/>He thought being himself was going to work…not here and there was too much money on the line to not try. He closed his eyes briefly to kind of refocus himself. Just as he found his game face he heard someone else come in.<br/><br/><<Lucy I am home!>> He shook his head, he had been all of these guys before. Yeah if played his cards right the money was as good as his. He tipped two fingers to the brothaman coming in.<br/><br/>First things first.  He moved to approach Katie. He could see fully that his complement fell on deaf ears. He moved to her, he didn’t press upon her as he wanted too. He could already see she was probably not his number one fan. But he had to try to make at least this part right. He moved to take her hand gently and kissed. As he looked into her eyes.<br/><br/>He had done this enough times if nothing else he knew how to sincerely apologize. “Katie…I am sorry for making you feel or think in any way that you weren’t beautiful. I…I think I need to translate what I said. I said the dress was wearing you. That means you look so amazing in the dress that it does not do you justice. Yes, I would like to help you out of the dress…cause damn baby you are gorgeous…but I don’t want just your body.  You would be my goal…just you. I meant no offense. I promise and if you smile for me you will really make my day…please.” He had no idea if she would hear him or believe him. It honestly didn’t matter. He did his part and apologized, that was honestly all he could do.<br/>
