God Save Those Kittens Chapter 28: Sharp Dressed Man, a covert affairs fanfic

Quick background on this story, This is actually a chapter that didn't make it into my story, "Karaoke, DPD style!". I' hoping to post all the chapters that got cut so if you don't like my song-fics, ignore the next 10 story posts. (yeah I know. Way too many. There is no appeasing the bunnies!) BTW, this is the Nickelback version of "Sharp dressed Man", which I do not own! Come to think of it, I don't own the original version of this song. Or Cover Affairs, for that matter.

Jai took the stage, smiling. It was the smile that worried Annie the most. It was the smile that said, "I'm going to try and one-up Auggie." She hoped he was prepared for an epic fail. Auggie nudged her side, lightly. "So, who's going after me?"

"Jai."

Auggie could only laugh. Annie soon joined in the laughter when the music started. "I had no idea that Jai was a ZZ Top fan." She practically screamed over the music. Auggie was laughing so hard he couldn't respond. He had no idea either. There was no way he was going to let Jai live it down.

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit,black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

"Hey Annie," Auggie called after catching his breath. "Are girls really crazy about sharp dressed men?" He had been laughing so hard tears in his eyes.

"Totally. Woman rate the way a man dresses above their personal appearance." She said dryly. "Face it, Jai is evidence of that fact. The man is...not very attractive, to put it kindly, but he gets all the women. All because he dresses in suits that cost multiple thousands of dollars."

This was enough to catch Auggie's interest. If she didn't find Jai attractive, what about himself?

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain' missin'not a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

"What about me?" Auggie asked,

"Don't worry, you have looks on your side." Annie teased. "Thats it. You have no personality, your sense of humor is like a wet mop, basically, if it weren't for the fact that you look so damn good, no one would take a second look at you."

At first he was shocked, but the Auggie realized that she was teasing him. He had the perfect way to get back at her.

Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

He reached over and dug his fingertips into her sides, causing her to dissolve into laughter. He knew that Annie was ticklish, but he had never openly tickled her. He decided that it was something that he would have to do more often. He continued tickling her until she eventually apologized. After calming down,she turned to say something, but stopped when she looked into his eyes. There was a warm, simmering heat in them, that she was inexplicably drawn too. Before either could stop themselves, their lips met.

"Make some noise!"

Jai's scream over the music separated them as if someone threw a bucket of cold water on them. "Oh God, Annie. I am soo sorry!" Auggie said quickly. He knew Annie hated it when guys move too quickly, and the fact that they were friends probably only added too the problem. She probably hated him.

Annie was in shock. She had never experienced a kiss like that. She was about to thank Auggie for it when she notice the look on his face. It was horror mixed with sadness. Then she realized what he had said. "Auggie, never, ever apologize for kissing a woman like that. Including me. Especially me."

"If thats the case, then can I kiss you again sometime?" Auggie was never sure when it came to Annie. One minute she would act like his best friend, and the next...She was sending him some very mixed signals.

Annie cupped his face in her hands. In for a penny, in for a pound. "Well, I sure hope you kiss me again. Preferably soon."

"Yes Ma'am!"

This was going to be the second chapter of my story, but I realized that it was moving too fast, plus I really didn't like the way I portrayed Auggie, and It moved way too slowly. Also, Jai was suppose to move on to the second round, but then I came up with a better plot point. Hope you enjoyed this little bit of plot-lessness. Keep an eye out for my next multi-chap fic, "Theory of Relativity" which was inspired by a review by SharpestSatyre.
