Abby till for a moment but then stiffly started to sway with the music once again. "Ahh, that bite was just to let her know that you're my property." Now it was Tony's turn to stop swaying "So, I'm property now?" he let on with a smirk, yet Abby didn't catch it as she continued on "Well, in Goth terms it's a visual sign to say that you're in a serious relationship with another person and to come in between them would incur the wrath of the couple. Really, Tony I did it just so you wouldn't have to put up with her tonight." She looked at him knowing she was just talking a load on B.S. But hoped Tony would let her slide on it or he wouldn't even pick up on her blatant act of flirting.
Tony was lost in thought about this whole evening so far. He was normally a pretty suave guy and didn't miss much when it came to the opposite sex. Yet right now he felt like he was thrown in the deep end of the pool without a life preserver. "Abbs, I don't know what's going on but maybe you should just do what you planned on doing and help me understand this lifestyle better so I don't have nightmares anymore." Tony answered. Abby smiled sweetly back at him and said "Deal." she lead him off the dance floor as the music started back to another fast paced android lust remix.
They had a few more beers and Abby introduced him to a couple of more friendly type Goths then C.C. Made them out to be. Tony was relaxed with Abby's friends and noticed that a few of them had bite marks themselves so he began to think nothing of want Abby had done till one guy congratulated him on finally getting Abby to settle down. "I don't think anybody will get Abby to settle down, she just has too much energy for life." Tony deflected back with ease. "Well I've tried to get her to mark me and you're the first that I know of that she has." The guy said, Tony smiled and glanced over to the group of girls chatting away. Is there something more going on here than friendship? He wondered.
Abby was chatting with a few of her girlfriends but keeping one eye on Tony and the group of guys talking. A tap on her shoulder brought her back to the conversation "So, you finally got it bad for some one." one girl said. Abby smiled but quickly responded "What, Tony? No he and I work together and are really good friends is all." but the group of girls didn't look convinced. "What was that other guy you came here from work with that one time? MaGoo or something? That nerdy fellow?" another inquired. "You mean McGee, and he happens to be very smart and I like that in a man." Abby fired back. "Yeah, but he couldn't keep up with you on a slow night. Tony however looks like he keep pace even with you on a full Caff-Pow diet." another said while looking Tony up and down. Abby felt her face get a little warmer, was she right she wondered. She glanced back at Tony seeing him smile and knew that there might something about him that she just couldn't define, and that's what frighten her the most, something had to take on faith, no black and white answer like forensics.
