A girl in a white suit stood in front of Sil with her back to the door.
"Since when do your girls wear suits to work?" Silvio, Paulie, Christopher and the girl turned towards the door. The girl smiled and gave Tony a hug. He kissed her on both cheeks. "You know I'm just teasin', Jen. Your tits are too small to be one of his girls." Everyone laughed except Jen. "I guess that means that you'll be starting here any day now?" Furio instantly prepared for Tony's reaction, which was sure to be unpleasant. To his surprise, Tony laughed and the guys all "ooh'd". "You're lucky you're cute when you're a smart ass, Jen". "I know. I'm adorable." Tony hugged her again. "Let me introduce you to someone. This is Furio, a friend from over there. Furio, Jen". "Is pleasure to meet you. I am very impressed by anyone who can, how they say, 'bust Tony's balls' and get away with it. Especially a woman." Jen laughed, "Thanks, I think. It's nice to meet you too." Furio kissed her hand. "So", Silvio began, "if you kids are done with the introductions and bullshit, I believe Jen was gonna give me my suit to try on." Jen picked up a garment bag off of a near-by chair and carried it over to Silvio. Furio didn't know what the suits that she made looked like, but he knew he liked the one she was wearing. It was very tailored and the pants sat low on her hips so that just a little skin peeked out between the waistband and the hem of her jacket. The lapels opened into a slim "V" about half-way up her chest and she wasn't wearing a shirt underneath. Being an admirer of fashion himself, (as could be seen from his colorful Italian shirts), Furio knew that the suit was well made and appreciated the fact that you weren't really seeing as much skin as you thought you were. Like Tony said, she had class. "Anyhow. Jen," Paulie was reclining in one of the chairs near the pool table, "you gonna tell us what's in that Dean and Deluca bag, or just make us sniff it out?" "You guys know I never come to see you empty handed." Jen reached for the bag that was sitting near her feet. "Good thing I brought extra." Jen glanced up at Furio who was trying to discreetly glance down her jacket. "Let's see... We've got coffee and I also picked up some cinnamon rolls at Panera." Jen took the food and drinks out of the bag and set them on the table. "How's Ade?" "She's good. You should go out some time." "I'll give her a call. I'm working on a line she would love." Christopher sat up straight. "Hey now! Don't go givin' her any ideas! I don't mean to be rude Jen, but there ain't no way I'm buyin' her clothes from you right now. They're too fuckin' expensive." "Don't worry about it! They aren't even made yet, just sketches! Besides, I was thinking that now that she's running the Crazy Horse she could wear some of my pieces, not the stuff I do for Oscar. You know, help get me some exposure." "No offense", Paulie looked at Christopher and back at Jen. "but you gotta know people higher up than Adrianna." "A lot of people go to the Crazy Horse. I want to get in on the young adult market. You know, the clubs. Besides, Adrianna's gorgeous. Everything would look great on her and she would have everyone asking where it came from." The bathroom door opened and Silvio stepped out. Tony gave a low whistle. The suit Silvio was wearing was black with a slight sheen to it. It had wide lapels and the pants were cuffed. He was also wearing a cobalt blue shirt with a saffron tie. "Hey, I know I look good." Silvio shot his cuffs. "Do you like it?" "It's a piece of art, Jen". Silvio gave her a kiss on the cheek and she smiled broadly. "How's the fit? The pants look a little long, but the jacket looks good..." "Hey. Howa much you charge for suit lika dis?" Furio had moved closer to inspect the tie. "Well, I give Sil a special price and since I haven't really got my own line started yet, I don't know what I would charge someone else. The suits I design for Oscar sell for upwards of $20,000 though..." "Dis Oscar; he is Oscar de la Renta?" "Yeah. I had an internship with him in college..." "What is this? A job interview? After you do whatever the fuck it is you need to do with these pants, our business is done for the day and we're gonna sit down so you can tell us what's goin' on in your life." Silvio indicated that this was the end of the conversation by sticking out his lower lip and nodding. "Do I smell cinnamon?" Jen laughed and kneeled down to pin the cuffs of his pants. "T, can we go in the other room for a minute?" Christopher nodded towards Paulie. "Sure Chrissy." Jen glanced up as the three of them walked towards the door. "OK. All finished. Are you sure that's the only thing I need to fix?" "Honey, it's beautiful." Silvio left to change. Jen turned to face Furio. She smiled and bit her lower lip, wondering if he or anyone else had noticed that she kept looking at him. "So, will you be in the States for long?" "Is not really a set time." "Oh. Are you enjoying your stay so far?" "Yes. The guys are very good. Is different here though." Jen laughed. "I would imagine so. Have you spent much time in the city?" "I have no had much time there. Only occasional lunches and such." He gave her a devilish smile. "If only I know someone to show me around, maybe I could spend more time there." "Hmm. If only." Tony, Christopher and Paulie came back in. "So, she wouldn't come home askin' me ta buy her nothin'?" Furio liked her. She was different from the women he usually met, and definitely from the women he usually chased. Really there wasn't usually very much chasing at all. Women tended to give in pretty easily to Furio. They were always pretty, but not always so sophisticated. He liked that she was hard to classify. She was very feminine. She had nice breasts, (he would have said a B-cup and this was an area he was definitely experienced in). Her waist was small and she actually had an ass. Since coming to the United States, Furio had been noticing how many women were far too skinny for his taste. Jenn was slim, but she still had a body he could hold on to. Suddenly Furio realized that if he didn't focus on another part of her that he would have a visible problem. His eyes moved to her face. She was beautiful. She had almond shaped hazel eyes and her dark brown hair fell half-way down her back ending in large, soft curls. She had full lips and a great smile. At the same time though, she had guts. From what Tony had said outside, she obviously had a good idea, (if she didn't flat out know), about the kind of business they were in. Still, she could have a comfortable conversation with them and even dish it out if she wanted to. That's something most men wouldn't dare with Tony. And Tony had definitely been right about her having class. She dressed professionally, but she was sexier than any woman Furio had in recent memory. A lot of people aren't comfortable in suits, but she wore it like a second skin. It briefly occurred to him that Adrianna might benefit from some of Jenn's clothing. "Hello! Earth to Furio!" Furio was suddenly aware that Christopher had been talking to him. "What?" "I said, 'You comin'?" "Where?" "To Vesuvio." "Why?" "Jesus! Where the fuck are you?! We're takin' her ta lunch before she goes back ta the city." The others were making their way out the back door of the club when Tony threw a strange look and a grin back at Furio.
