Tea With Friends ((Hugo&&Nix))

[Lita Chance]

She knew exactly what she was doing. And she knew it was wrong. Why on Earth would she set up her bestfriend with the captain of her Quidditch team, if she still had feelings for him? She knew she was being an idiot for setting the whole thing up, but that hadn't stopped her mind from rolling over possible outcomes. What if she could use this to her advantage? Some how turn the tables around and become the winner.... She licked her lips in thought as she walked into the cute little tea shop of Hogsmead.

Lita found a table near the corner and sat down. Her long dark hair fell over her shoulders in large ringlets. She had actually done her hair today, which would probably come as a surprise to both Nix and Hugo, having them usually seen it up in a messy ponytail or bun. She was even dressed rather out of the norm, A short black tube dress, with mixing white and black pleats on the chest portion. Her feet were graced with one of the only pairs of heels that she owned, a plain black pair of open toed stilletos that her mother had bought her hoping she would wear them instead of the usual converse. Well here's to you, momma. she thought as she crossed her legs. Now, all she had to do was wait.

Nix walked down through the wet streets of hogsmead and pulled her robes up over her head, she had done something the was unheard of for her, she had dressed up for once in her life. She walked through the streets in the rain in her only owned dress and with her hair tied back in a plait, she had a pair of plain and simple pumps on too, she may be getting dressed up but she still wanted to be comfy. Pixies had bugged her in to allowing the younger girl to plait her hair and as a result she knew she had slipped four lilies in to the her hair, nix wasn't one for flowers but she had to say she liked her hair like this for once ,and she like the dress too, it was plain and simple and comfy but it looked good too

[Hugo Baine]

((For lack of sexy pictures, look at my avatar. That's what he's wearing except for the bowtie, haha.)

Hugo said hello to fellow acquaintances and friends as he walked down the street filled with shops. He was in his usual attire, slacks and a crisp button down shirt. Okay, so this wasn't his usual attire but he was going on a date; he guess one could call it that. He wasn't too sure what to expect but he did know that he was meeting up with his ex and his crush. That sounds like a really bad combination but hopefully things would turn out for the good. He was positive that he didn't have any feelings toward his ex but he sometimes doubted himself. What he wants now is to be with Nix. But what about Lita? "Forget about her!" he said a little too loudly. Others turned and looked at him funny so he just smiled uneasily at them. Get yourself together, Hugo!

He had reached the door to the tea shop. Hugo took a deep breath and walked in. He spotted both of the girls as soon as he entered and couldn't help but stare at them. Both of them looked absolutely stunning. Smiling and waving at them, he strode over to their table. "Hello ladies!" he said hanging his robe over the back of his chair. Sitting down in the chair between to the two, he said, "You both look beautiful tonight."

[Lita Chance]

It didn't take long for Nix to arrive, and naturally, with Lita being so competitive, she couldn't help but size her up with her dress. It was plain and very simple, but it fit her body and looked good. Her dress had style to it though, and showed much more skin than Nix's did. Lita knew she had a good body, and when the situation arrises itself, she would flaunt what her momma gave her. Much like she was doing now. Offering her a soft smile, Lita held out her hand toward the chair across from her. It were best if Hugo sat between them anyway, his crush and the matchmaker. HA! Me, a matchmaker? This ought to be good... She let her thoughts trail off as soon as Hugo walked in the room.

Hearing his voice, her heart did a little jump inside her chest. She was so going to screw this up if she didn't watch herself. She needed to be sly, end of story. "Well hey, gorgeous, nice of you to finally join us." She smirked softly, playing off of her joking side slightly. She needed to keep her remarks light and non-chalant if she was going to be undetected with her planning. Watching him sit down between them, she smiled at the both of them before picking up her menu and scanning it over. Not really reading it, she moved her eyes across the page and spoke up softly, "How was the day for both of you? Mine was excellant." Tilting her menu toward to Hugo a bit to block his vision from her, she gave a playful (and very fake on her part) wink toward Nix.

[Hugo Baine]

Lita shouldn't be worried about Hugo looking at her face. What she should be worried about is Hugo checking her out underneath the table. He wasn't stupid though, he held up his menu beforehand so Nix wouldn't catch him. "What are you doing wearing that? It's not very appropriate for a tea party if you ask me," he said muttering to Lita so only she would hear. He brought his eyes back up to look at Nix and put down his menu. She looks gorgeous. She was dressed very simply but elegantly. Hugo liked her pleated and flowered hair. Ignoring Lita's question, he said to Nix, "I like the flowers in your hair. I don't think I've ever seen your hair not messy." He didn't mind her messy hair. He actually kind of liked it in a weird sort of way. Hugo smiled at her and tried his best to not look under the table again.

Hugo already felt like he was cheating on Nix simply by thinking of Lita. Not that Nix and Hugo were together already but, he didn't want to mess anything up. By what Lita was wearing, it was making that process extremely difficult. It's as if she was trying to not allow Hugo and Nix to work out. Hugo shook this thought out of his head. He didn't believe Lita to be that spiteful.

[Lita Chance]

Hearing his quiet remarks toward her attire, Lita licked her lips before biting down softly on her lower one. She was attempting to keep herself from both smirking and causing a scene. She caught his little eye movements as they switched from looking under the table to up at Nix. For a little show, she crossed her legs slowly at the knee, allowing her ankle to “accidentally” brush along the inside of his calf. Continuing to pretend to scan the menu, she muttered just loud enough for him to hear, ”So why can’t you stop looking?” She couldn’t stop her lips from curling into a small smirk this time. So she just hid it behind the menu, if anything, Hugo was the only one to see it.

Listening to the light conversation between Hugo and Nix, Lita had to use all of her power and control to not burst into it with some witty remark that would likely piss one of them off. She needed to keep her cool though, and she would for as long as she needed to in order to get what she wanted. There was always a right time for everything, it was just waiting for the opportunity to arise that seemed to take forever.

OOC: I couldn’t wait any longer! Feel free to slap either me or Lita for lack of patience. Hahaha!

[Hugo Baine]

Hugo was enjoying his little chat with Nix until he felt Lita's ankle brush against him. It took every fiber in his being to not tremble from her touch. "Would you stop that? You had your chance with me and blew it by going off with James. Yeah, that's right. I know about your little relationship with him," he said stiffly making sure she was the only one who could hear. Even though he was trying to ignore her, he couldn't help but glance under the table one last time. He's only man; he can't resist a beautiful woman.

It was odd sitting here in the tea shop with Nix and Lita. It's like he's on a double date but the other guy forgot to show up. James forgot to show up. Not that he was invited but it'd sure be nice to have someone to hold off Lita. Deep down though, he didn't mind her. In fact, he actually still has feelings for her- No. Hugo was trying so desperately to stifle those emotions. They don't belong here when he's trying to be in a relationship with Nix.

[nixnight]

Nix felt her skin burn and looked down to see if she had sprouted fur over her skin as she would have normally had her skin been this warm. She sneaked a glance at lita and sighed and then dipped her head behind her menu and she muttered quietly to herself ,"erm, Thanks Hugo" she replied to his compliment in a small voice and then she felt her face go red too. She lifted a hand to run it through her hair and then paused as she remembered that it was plaited back and filled with lilies, so she dropped her hand onto her dark blue dress and then she ran her fingers across the velvet and to the split half way down her shin and then she looked up and over to Hugo ,"it's weird not seeing you with your badge on" she said in a small voice and then rolled her eyes and hissed quietly at herself ,"honesty, you like a guy for moons and as soon as you get a date with him you can't even speak properly and your scared stiff of the other girl because she looks so much better than her" she said in a tight voice

[Hugo Baine]

Hugo looked down and noted the absence of his badge. He honestly felt a little naked without it. Good thing he always has it on his person! It's tucked into the inside pocket of his robe just in case anyone questioned his head boy status, not that anyone dared. "Yeah, you're right. I-" he got caught off by the waitress coming their way. "What would you all like to drink?" she asked.

Hugo had barely looked through the menu so he said the first thing that came into mind, "I'll have a butterbeer, please!" The waitress rolled her eyes at him. Yes, they were in a tea shop and yes they sold butterbeer among other drinks but it seemed that those who worked there were bothered by customers who order non-tea drinks. He awkwardly cleared his throat and gestured for the girls to order.

[nixnight]

Nix lifted her head and then waved at the waitress and slipped her hand under the table and in to a small bag that pixie had told her she "had" to take and she took out a bit of paper and then handed it to the girl and she looked at it for a moment and then she nodded and handed the paper back to nix and nix smiled at her and looked at Hugo and lita for a moment before nodding to herself ,"one for me for now, I may have another later but for now" she said in a stronger voice before slipping the paparazzi away back under the table and looking over at lita and then snapped her menu down ,"and now because I've gone beyond caring, can I have a bit of strawberry cake and some mint ice cream too" she said with a grin and a quiet mutter to herself ,"of Ryuzaki would be proud" she said to herself

[Lita Chance]

Lita couldn't help but scoff at his comment, "Oh please, you know that was forever ago and you know how sorry I was and still am." Her voice was soft, sad almost as she looked back at her menu. She frowned slightly at Nix's comment about her being prettier. Lowering her menu, she raised her hand a little and waved it as though brushing the thought away. "You have no reason to be afraid of me. You wouldn't be here if you weren't pretty, Nix. Hugo has always had a thing for pretty girls," She picked up her menu again and chuckled, "Haven't you, Hugo?"

Looking up at the lady recieveing their orders, she put on a gorgeous smile, placing her elbows on the table and leaning forward to rest her chin on her clasped fingers, "I'll take a plain earl grey, please. Cream?" Pushing her menu to the side, she once again adjusted her legs, brushing the toe of her stilletto against his other leg oh so casually. "The strawberry cake is so good here, Nix. My father used to have it sent to our house when we weren't in school." She smiled and giggled softly.

[Hugo Baine]

Hugo started at Lita's comment. "What guy doesn't have a thing for pretty girls?" he said laughing nervously. The waitress rolled her eyes again at Hugo before leaving. "I think we should get a different waitress," he muttered under his breath. Lita caught Hugo off guard again by her touch. He reflexively hit his knee on the table. He grunted while glaring at Lita.

"Yes, the cake here is most delicious." He felt like he was blabbering on like an idiot. Sinking a little lower in his chair, he decided to shut his mouth for a few minutes to regain his composure. If it was just Nix and him, he was sure things would go much more smoothly than they were now. Shifting his feet underneath the table to get into a more comfortable position, he accidentally brushed someone's ankle. Dear Merlin, I hope it's wasn't Lita's. Hugo looked to her to see if it was.

[nixnight]

Nix turned her head away from the table to hide her face, she could feel the the rushing up her neck again and knew she needed to distract herself a little so she looked out of the window next to the table and in to the ,still windy and rather damp now too, street outside. She spotted a person walking down towardsthe three broom sticks and she smiled as she saw the robe hems, a ravenclaw, then she spotted the messy black hair poking out from the hood of the robe and she giggled quietly and the turned back to the table and looked at the others ,"so will we just be sitting and avoiding each other for the rest of this date lita so kindly set up?" she asked as she saw hugos eyes flicker and look under the table for a moment and she felt a pang of worry as his eyes wandered over lita but she shook her head and blinked her eyes ,"it's normal, just friends" she said in no more than a whisper to herself

[Lita Chance]

Lita snickered quietly to herself, covering her mouth with her dainty fingers and covering it up with a light cough. She couldn't help herself, having heard Hugo hit his knee on the table. She knew she still had a way with him and she was going to continue to get at him for as long as she could. She wanted him back.... almost needed him back. She liked being in control and getting what she wanted. She seemed to be going in the direction though, because sure enough, she felt the light brush against her ankle. Brushing back against him playfully, she raised one of her delicately arched brows at him. Her lips curling into a slight flirty smile. Gaining her composure back, she pulled her hair over one shoulder and nodded at Nix, "She's right, Hugo. It's not like you've been on many good dates since me. So why don't you speak up some, yeah?" She crossed her arms under her chest quietly, a soft smile on her lush lips.

[Hugo Baine]

"Avoiding each other, eh? Is that what you think?" Hugo said suspiciously. He slid his chair on over to Nix's and put his arm around her shoulders. He leaned over and put his lips right next to her ear and whispered, "How's this?" He shot a glance at Lita and smirked. Hugo leaned back into his chair and stretched his arms before putting them back down to his sides. He was still sitting quite close to Nix but he didn't want to embarrass her by touching her all the time.

"Don't flatter yourself, Lita. I've been on plenty of nice dates since you," he said nonchalantly. Now that he was sitting next to Nix, he was directly facing Lita. That could be a very good thing or a very bad thing for Hugo. It all depends on what Lita has up her sleeve.
