[CLOSED] til the break of dawn

Shaun sat back in the chair her manager had her in, listening to them drone on and on. "And when we call all models to stage, enter left. You do one walk around the stage, then walk back up, get your flowers, and walk back."

"Mkay." She said, leaning up to look in the mirror. She touched her curls, then stood up, adjusting her blue and white bra. "The white eyeliner isn't a bit much?"

"No. You look fine."

"Okay.." She walked off, looking around. She saw Channing at the door, and walked over to him. She smiled at Shawn, bending down to hug him gently.

"Think they got you in enough clothes?" Channing asked, looking her over.

"Oh, of course. We all know heels are clothes, Channing. Duh." She said sarcastically. He shook his head and walked off. Shaun squatted down, leaning on the arm of Shawn's chair. "You wanna get your seat? You get to give me my flowers." She smiled up at him, her blue eyes bright and happy.

Jacob had been hesitant about letting Shawn go as usual, but after a rather reluctant agreement with Channing at the house, he had let it be.

Shawn smirked faintly at Channing's words when Shaun approached. "Lookin' hot," He teased gently, gazing up at her through dark bangs, flipping them to the side. "Do I now? May as well then."

He was pleased, not to mention happy to be here, out of the house and away from any hard feelings for once.

Shaun smiled, leading him through the crowd of people to the stage they had made in the front of the club. She stopped, then turned around. "See? You get to see all the pretty girls! Aren't you lucky?" She winked at him, then walked off for a second. She came back with two bottles of water. She handed one to him, then unscrewed the cap on hers. She took a small sip of it, careful not to mess up her lipgloss.

"So.." She sat pulled one of the chairs over, sitting in front of him. Someone whistled at her, and she looked up, smiling at one of Channing's friends. She crossed her long legs, trying to be as modest as she could in such little clothes.

"Hey, babe." Duskin said, walking over and hugging her. She smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Hey." She said with a smile, then watched him walk off.

"I like your shirt. You look really cute." She said with a smile, turning back to Shawn.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn followed her, amused by her words. "Right," He huffed lightly, glancing around. He turned at the whistle, watching the guy approach her before leaving. He comment made him smile.

"And you saying that to anybody is irony," He teased, absently adjusting a leg. He laughed softly, looking her up and down subtly. But even if she hadn't had the looks she did, he felt her attitude would have made up for it. "That comment you made yesterday, about dogs." He smiled. "If anything, you're playing a game of lady and the tramp," He taunted, patting her on the shoulder.

"Am I? I never got a chance to watch that movie." She smiled over at him, taking his hand off her shoulder and turning it over. She ran her finger across it, looking down at his hand.

"Ew. Shaun. Really? I can see your butt." Channing said in disgust, sitting on the stage behind her.

"Don't look and it won't be there, stupid." She said, shaking her head.

"No, I see your butt. That's gross."

"And I suppose all the other butts are cute?"

"No. They're hot. But your butt is.. ew. Go change."

"I'm wearing a thong on stage." She said, bending back to look at him. He wrinkled his nose, shaking his head. She winked at Shawn, looking back down to play with his fingers.

"Of all things for him to complain about. He's such a pain. I bet Tyler's like that, isn't he?" She smiled over at him, running her fingers across his palm. She thought for a moment, looking down at his hand.

"Isn't that the movie where the prissy dog and the scruffy dog fall in love?" She asked, looking up at him with a slight smile.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shaun laughed softly. "Definitely like him," He huffed with a playfuk smirk. "So this is where you hang huh?" He looked around, laughed.

"You should have seen Jacob's face when your brother picked me up, it was like I had joined the war or something. He shook his head in amusement. "So stubborn, I swear."

[shaun michel foster]

"No, I've never actually been in here. It just all depends on where they put the show." She took a sip of her water, shifting a bit in her chair. She always got nervous before shows. Even if they were all the same. She rocked her bottle back and forth, looking down.

"Everythings a lot more fun after the show. Cause we can sit around and stuff." She heard them call over the intercom, and shove her bottle of water at Channing. He took it with a groan, then moved her chair, sitting beside Shawn. She looked back over her shoulder and smiled at him before walking backstage to get changed. Channing dropped a bouquet of white roses in the boy's lap, then sat back.

The lights dimmed, and one by one the models rounded the stage, then walked up the middle and got their flowers. When it came Shaun's turn, she made her round around the stage, then walked back up the side to where Shawn sat. She knelt down so he wouldn't have to reach so far, leaning over to get them. She smiled, placing a kiss on his cheek before walking back.

"Oh, you're in for it now." Channing said with a laugh, nudging him with his elbow. "You're gonna be in the next VS magazine. Someones getting laid. Last time she kissed me on the cheek, all the photographers took a picture of it. I had girls for days." He leaned back, crossing his legs.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn eyed the flowers as she left, watching them come up to the stage one by one. He smiled at the kiss on the cheek, hand lingering on her own a moment.

He watched her go, chuckled at Channing's words, gestured at lifeless legs. "we'll see about that," He huffed, eyes glimmering playfully as he shifted his weight, running a hand through his hair as he watched.

[shaun michel foster]

Channing laughed, shaking his head. "Don't tell Shaun I told you, but she's got a thing for you. She ain't never said a word about any guy she ever ran into, but when she came home she was like, a whole different person. If nothing else, I think you'll end up being her best friend." He watched the rest of the models, thinking that none of them looked quite as happy as Shaun had. They started walking off the stage, and Channing watched her talk to a few people, her face bright and happy as she hugged her flowers close.

"I slipped a fake one in there. But I'm not taking the credit. You are." He said, patting his shoulder before walking off.

Shaun walked over, hugging Shawn tightly. "Hey." She said quietly, sitting down in Channing's chair. She held her flowers close, smiling over at him. "Did you pick them?"

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn chuckled at the words. "Really..." He breathed, a genuine smile gracing his lips. He was about to complain at Channing's next words when the guy got up and left.

Huffing, he turned to watched Shaun's approach, just smiled. "Hm, you like 'em?" He hugged her tightly back, a hand running up and down her side briefly in a friendly manner. "You looked amazing you know," He teased, voice soft, breath caressing her ear.
