The Secret Lair Romance


The Secret Lair

Dani pushes open the door to the shop, stepping into the warmth. He heads towards the cult classics.

It's mid-afternoon and the shop has it's usual clientele milling about, talking about thinks like the Green Hulk versus the recently introduced Red Hulk and a variety of other such comic book, cult films, manga and such related topics that arise in this shop. KeLyssa is off back in the graphic novel section, sorting and organizing them.

Dani looks through the movie titles, having missed KeLyssa on his entrance. He flips through a few of them before he looks around at the talk of the Hulk and shakes his head. As he starts to return his attention to the movies, he spots her. He smirks as he moves towards her. "Hey hot stuff." He says once he's close enough.

KeLyssa pauses in her work. Did she just hear someone say 'Hey hot stuff'…in the Lair? In a voice that wasn't geeky or an attempt to copy Kirk? She slowly turns around. It takes her a moment to register Dani standing there. She blinks and then smiles widely. "Dani! What're you doin' here? Didn't think I'd see ya down 'round her until a li'l later. Ya know, we don't quite have your videos in yet." Is she just plain innocent, or is she playing a fool? Only time shall tell.

Dani smirks and nods. "Yeah, I know. I wanted to pick up some movies and just happened to run into you." He says with a wink. "At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it." He says with a smile. "How's work?"

KeLyssa giggles a little. "That's your story, hmm? Well then, I'll try not to go around and refute it then." She says, smiling happily. "Works goin' alright. Just been makin' sure everything is easily findable, ya know?" She looks around. "Had a few requests for stuff that I found without too much problem. At least that's what I'm tellin' myself. Any movies in particular ya need help findin'?"

Dani smiles and nods. "Yup. That's my story." He stuffs his hands into his coat pockets. "Actually, I'm just looking for the 25th Anniversary version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show." He says with a smile and a slight shrug.

KeLyssa furrows her brow in thought. "Hmmm, twenty-fifth anniversary Rocky Horror Picture Show…isn't that the movie with the cross-dressin' man from outer-space?" She nods. "I think we might just have a copy of that lyin' around here somewhere…I think. I'm still new, ya understand. But if there's one thing I can do, it's find somethin' that people want." She grins and leads on back to the video section. "Twenty-fifth anniversary Rocky Horror….Rocky Horror…" She mutters quietly to herself.

Dani nods. "Yup. Dr. Frankenfurter played by Tim Curry." He says with a grin. "It's cool. Take your time. I'm in no rush." He says as he follows her to the movie section, taking an opportunity to scope out the view in the process.

KeLyssa nods a little to Dani's response. "Yeah. That's the guy…" Her slender fingers move across the videos swiftly before finally stopping at one. She pulls it out and shakes her head. "Nope, wrong one. Actually, this one has Tim Curry in it too, but it's the wrong one." She shows the video, which bears the movie title 'Clue'. "This ain't the one you were askin' for, I know. I'll find it though!" She puts Clue back before searching again.

Dani smiles and nods as he looks over the title. "Yup, he plays the butler, but I'll take that one too." He says as she puts the movie back. "I love that movie. It's funny."

KeLyssa instantly pulls the movie back out. "Alright, here ya are." She grins at him. "One Clue for you." She smiles before going back to looking for the requested Rocky Horror Picture Show. "The movies I've seen 'im in are pretty good. Well, that's to say, he's a good actor. But I've only seen one or two, to be honest with ya. Never seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Don't know much about it. Didn't even know it was Tim Curry!" She shrugs. "Is it really scary?"

Dani nods his head as he takes the movie. "Yeah. He's a great actor. He was awesome in Legend with Tom Cruise, but Rocky Horror is a movie that either you like it or you hate it. It's not scary at all, just funny."

KeLyssa nods a little. She pulls out another movie and exclaims, "Aha! Found it! It was a sneaky li'l bugger, but nothin' can hide from KeLyssa Gallagher!" She giggles and hands the 25th anniversary Rocky Horror Picture Show to Dani.

Dani chuckles softly as she finds the movie. "KeLyssa, the finder of hidden movies." He smirks as he takes the movie. "You know, you could probably take that talent on the road."

KeLyssa shakes her head, giggling again. "Nah, I think the skill only works in the Lair…" She wipes her hands on her jeans. "I'd say I should borrow that from ya some time, but I don't have anythin' to play it on." She shrugs. "Oh well. I'm sure I'll get to see it some time. My brother, no doubt, will come up here and insist I get a dvd and vhs player and a TV that it's compatible with!"

Dani smirks and nods. "Well, we'll just take the Lair on the road with ya then." He says with a smile. "If you want, you can come over sometime and we can watch it together." He says, looking at her with an eyebrow raised slightly.

KeLyssa considers that. "Well…it would take some work," she says looking around, "but I think we might just be able to do it. We can take the Lair on the road!" She grins at Dani. "Watch out, I might just take ya up on that offer of yours, Dani."

Dani smiles and nods. "Well, how would you like to have dinner with me sometime and then we can watch the movie together?" He asks as he continues to look at her.

KeLyssa looks at Dani curiously. She remains quiet for a few minutes as she studies him. "Are you askin' me on a date, Dani?" It sounds very much like one to her.

Dani tilts his head for a moment before he nods. "Yeah, actually, I am. Dinner, movies… dancing. Whatever you feel like."

KeLyssa looks Dani straight in the eyes and smiles sweetly at him. "Alright. I accept. Dinner and the movie and whatever else."

Dani looks at her in the eyes again and smiles, nodding. "Wonderful. I look forward to it. When's your next day off? Maybe we can do it then." The nerdy guys must be jealous.

KeLyssa thinks about this for a moment. "I'm not sure exactly. Don't got the schedule with me. But I'll find out soon enough."

Dani nods slightly. "Alright. Let me know when you find out?" He asks as he smiles brighter.

KeLyssa smiles and nods. "Yeah…I will." She giggles a little. "It'll be great." She nods. "So…um…yeah." She lets out a little nervous laugh. "Is there anythin' else ya needed me to help ya find?"

Dani smiles and chuckles softly. "I think it will be too." He says as he looks at her, shaking his head. "No. I think I got everything I need. A bit more than I planned on too." He says with a chuckle.

KeLyssa nods a little, smiling. "Well, um…want me to ring you through at the till?" She asks quietly. "I'll give you a deal on those too. Just don't tell the boss lady."

Dani nods his head. "Yeah. That'd be fine." He says, letting her lead him to the till. "I won't tell, I promise." He says witha smile.

KeLyssa smiles at Dani as she steps behind the counter. She puts in the prices of the videos and discounts them. She lists off the discounted price. "And not a penny more, either!"

Dani smirks. "No tip then?" He asks as he takes out his wallet and pays for the movies. "Keep the change." He says with a grin.

KeLyssa smiles a little. "You are just too kind, Dani. Whatever shall I do with you." She grins at him. Tearing out the receipt, turns it over and graps a pen. She writes a group of numbers on the back and hands the receipt over to Dani. "That's my number. Give me a call, alright?"

Dani shrugs and chuckles. "I dunno. I'm like a lost little puppy." He says as he watches her write down her number. He nods as he takes the receipt and looks over the number. "Of course I'll call. You'll prolly have a message when you get home."

KeLyssa grins. "A lost puppy? Well, we'll see 'bout that. I've heard plenty say that, but I've found few really mean it!" She grins. Pulling out her cell, she says, "If that's the case, I'll probably have a message before I get home. I only got my cell phone." She smiles.

Dani smiles and chuckles. "Well, in that case, I'll prolly just call you while you're at work." He says, looking at her. "I never did get a chance to say that I enjoyed our time together yesterday."

KeLyssa grins and raises an eyebrow. "Ah, but you may just have to leave a message leastways. Whose to say I'll be able to answer it?" She shrugs. "Yeah, yesterday was pretty nice."

Dani smiles and nods. "That is true. We'll see how things go." He says with a chuckle. "And, since I have a date with you, I'll do your piercing for free."

KeLyssa smiles a little. "Well, that's mighty kind of ya. I'll hold ya to that!" She giggles. "Now, I really must be gettin' back to work. But I'll be seein' ya later." She offers a little wave. "Don't be a stranger now, ya hear?"

Dani smiles and nods. "No problem. Yeah. I'll definately see you later." He says, giving her a wink. "Have a good day and don't let these guys give you a hard time."

KeLyssa raises an eyebrow. "These guys? These guys are nothin' but sweethearts and gentlemen. I've got nothin' to worry 'bout while I'm here."

Dani smiles. "I'm glad to hear it. I'll talk to you later."

KeLyssa waves. "Buh-bye now."

Dani waves and heads out the store.
