1X1 Against All Odds & Hikaru Kurosaki

[Tossing Spades]

It's only for a night... only for tonight. You just have to fit in thats all. Foxx convinced herself as she started in to the lobby, spotting Claude. She looked totally different with her hair done, jewelry lining her neck and the green cocktail dress.. "Where's our seats?" She asked, coming up behind Claude.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude's eyes widened at the sight of her. "Um...uhh...in the back." He said, motioning to the table. He diverted his eyes from her reluctantly and walked to the table. He moved the seat for Foxx, and motioned for her to sit. He could already feel the stares. Attention was being drawn. He heard a few of the people around him whisper to eachother, suspiscious.

"Thank you," Foxx faked a smile, sitting down. "Part of why I got this is that I didn't want to be a reason for making an interesting cover page for the paper." She told him in the soft voices others used, so no one else would hear. "Or is that what you celebrities like?" In a joking manner she added. Foxx didn't have any manners usually, but having no manners would just attract more unwanted attention. "Business. It seems like such a.... boring, bland word." Opening the menu casually, she glanced over the different foods and drinks. "Is it as scary as it sounds?" Foxx asked him, a small smirk across her face with a rising eye brow.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude nodded, taking the seat across from her. He rested his cheek against his palm, and gazed off into the distance. "Don't refer me as a celebrity. I'm not." He said, taking a sip of the water the waitress had brought. He narrowed his eyes at her, restraining to glare. "We don't." He snapped coldly, merely glancing at the menu. He let out a sigh, realizing how frustrating he truly was. "It's scary at first, and gradually gets better." He said, sitting up and glancing at his hands under the table.

"Hey, you might wanna cool it, before you attract the attention you claim you don't want." She pointed out, her mischievous smile still playing on her glossed lips. "And you sure seem like a celebrity by the way people act around you." Foxx pointed out, people attempting to take sneaky pictures of them eating. "Put the phone away, before it's taken away" Her head was slightly to the right, amber eyes looking to the man in a suit with his phone out, camera towards them. He gave he her shocked look before putting it away with an ashamed look on his face.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude slipped his phone in his pocket with a shrug. "Bad publicity is something everyone gets at one point." He said, watching her closely. "You know, you never told me your name." He said with a smirk, glancing towards the few camerapeople who were beginning to snap pictures. He tried to seem indifferent at their presence, but, truth be told, he was actually quite uncomfortable.

[Tossing Spades]

"Hmm." Foxx hummed the agreement, and looked up at him from the menu. "It's something everyone gets even when they aren't famous." She replied, careful to choose her words around him, and in this classy environment. "I'll have whatever he's getting." She told the waitress, handing her the menu. A waiter came by and showed Claude a bottle of wine, waiting for his approval on it.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude ordered the lobster, assuming she was one with the same. He let out a tired sigh, knowing she was avoiding very quetion that he'd asked about her. He drummed his fingers against the table softly, and watched Foxx intently. After approving the wine, his mind wandere back to Foxx. Why was he so determined to be someone else? He understood why she wanted to conceal her identity, he was just a bit confused at why he hadn't given up, and why se was being so insecure.

[Tossing Spades]

Foxx watched the man pour the wine into the fancy clear glass half way, and then set the bottle on the table, nodded and walked away. Her eyes watched his fingers on the table, and then made their way back up to Claude's face. "Why so anxious? Nervous?" She snickered softly, and moved the glass to her lips, sipping a little, then placing it back on the table. Giggling to the side of them was made by three teens, watching Claude with interest and flirty smiles and looks. "You seem uncomfortable." Foxx pointed out, liking the control she had over him for the moment.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Claude took a sip of his glass of wine, before placing back on the table. He nodded, clearing his throat. "It's because I am." He said, stroking his chin softly. "I'm having dinner with a total stranger in Mexico, who seems suspicsiously like Foxx." He replied with a smirk, withdrawing his fingers from the table. His eyes glanced towards her. "Although, I wouldn't doubt I'm wrong."
