rpg_palace | Liv Insurance - Juliet, O wherefore art thou

(occurs after this Mads and Insurance

Having left a giddy man in Legal, Dom makes his way to the cafeteria to find Liv. He isn't sure this is a good idea. The other contracts have been pretty outrageous. But having done two of them already, Dom figures he can get through this. Spotting Liv with Mir, he waves and walks over to her table.

Sipping at her tea, Miranda stares in open admiration at Liv and simply listens to her talking, enjoying the sound of that warm voice. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Dom looking around the room. Miranda recalls Liv telling her of the insurance thing that the young man wants to see her about. "Look who's there," she says softly and points at Dominic who waves at them and comes over.

Liv looks at Dom as he approaches. "Hi sweetie. would you like to have a seat?" She smiles up at him sweetly.

Giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, Dom sits down and smiles hugely. "You ready for this? It's been quite a melodrama so far with the staff I've done. You aren't going to give me a hard time are you?"

Liv smiles at him "What? Would I ever give you a hard time dear?" She tries to supress a giggle as she says it.

Miranda snorts softly at this but covers her giggle with a cough. When Liv mock-glares at her, she gives the other woman an apologetic smile and blushes slightly.

Smirking back at Liv with a quick wink at Mir, he can't help laughing. "Not as bad as Sean but you have your days! Let me just get the file out." He opens the file and his face becomes puzzled.

Liv looks at the look on his face. "What is is sweetie? Something wrong?" She asks as she takes a sip of water.

Dom starts laughing, reading farther down the page. "Someone in Legal's got a crush on you, I think. Let's just say the other asset descriptions were a little more 'blunt'."

Liv blushes. "A crush? What? Let me see." Liv leans over for a closer look at the paper Dom has in front of him.

Miranda smiles and nods slightly despite herself. She can understand everyone who has a crush on Liv...But she's curious as well and looks at Dom. "But how can you tell that, Dommie?" Miranda asks. Placing her hand on Liv's shoulder, she leans in as well in hope of catching some of the writing.

The paper is the usual kind of legalese that should be deemed a foreign language. Dom can tell that Liv can't tell what he's referencing yet. He giggles. "Well, I can explain better than show I think. See each high level libertine will have Personal Asset Insurance. Legal creates a list and you just let me know if you agree. So, how about I read them to you?"

"Oh, ok." Liv says a little confused. "Read away sweetie." She says with a smile.

Dom grins and reads off the first one, speaking in a swoony voice.
" Juliet Eyes -
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return
To fire the loins and ensnare the heart"

Liv almost chokes on the bite of food she just put in her mouth. "Wha, what?" She can feel herself begining to blush. She tries to swallow the food then takes another sip of her water.

Dom can't help cracking up, his loud laugh causing heads to turn. "So, Liv of the Juliet eyes, do you agree on this level? "

Liv giggles loudly as she hears Dom laugh. She quickly puts her fingers over her mouth and quiets herself. "Of Juliet eyes?" Liv stares at him. "Well, I don't know..." She looks over at Miranda, then back to Dom. "I... I guess." Liv adds.

"Oh, but it's true, you know, whoever wrote that is right," Miranda says quietly, blushing deeply. Why is everyone insisting on making her blush lately? "I think it describes your eyes quite perfectly." Miranda adds shyly and glances at Dom to save her from whatever she's just gotten herself into.

With a grin almost cracking his face, Dom nods "definitely. Without a doubt." Looking down, he again acts very theaterical as he reads the next one.
"Goddess Radiant -
By her bright eyes.
By her high forehead, and her scarlet lip,
By her fine foot, straight leg, and quivering thigh."

Liv know for sure her face is beet red now. She looks over at Miranda again and the two giggle. She looks back at dom. "You've got to be kidding me, right?" She can not believe someone has written this about her.

Miranda feels for Liv as the other woman blushes yet deeper, and she's embarrassed because someone at Legal found a way to describe what Miranda thinks about Liv just perfectly. Not knowing how else to react, Miranda giggles with Liv. "This must be a joke, Dom," she agrees sympathetically with Liv though.

He is giggling so much, he has to take a huge breath, just to speak. "No! But Liv, I'm telling you the other ones I've done. Oh gods, they were, well, let's just say, we couldn't do them in a public room."

Liv just blushes more. "Well, ok." She is still trying to bring her giggles under control. "Continue please." She takes a little bit bigger sip of water. She can feel the heat in her face from the constant blushing.

This time, Dom gets down on one knee, and whispers loudly.
"Princess of Passion
Passion lends her power,
Time means to meet,
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet
Her love as deep; the more she gives to thee,
The more you have, for both are infinite"
"I think they are trying to say, you can have a lot of orgasms."

Liv squeals loudly as Dom gets on one knee and begins to read. With his words about the orgasms she collapses onto the table. She actually wants to crawl under the table. She begins to laugh very loudly. Finally, through her laughter she manages to say. "You have got to be kidding me."

Miranda's jaw drops at Dom's dry comment about the orgasms, and she glances a nervous look over at Liv. Gods, if anyone ever would do that to her, she'd be killing them! Blushing once more, Miranda looks down at her lap and fidgets with her hands. This is not happening, no, this is just a dream...

"Nope. So, do ya think Craig will be upset that Legal wants you to be the Princess instead of him?" He grins at Miranda and Liv.

At those words Liv nearly falls into the floor. She can not believe he just said that. She is trying very hard to catch her breath. She looks over at Miranda through teary eyes and she can feel everyone in the room looking at them like they have lost their minds.

The comment about Craig makes Miranda forget about her embarrassment,
and she simply laughs along with Liv, though there is still that small blush on her face.

Dom has to wipe tears from his eyes watching Liv as she loses it. He can tell that people are talking about them. Even senses more than a few trying to walk nearby to listen in. He can't stop giggling and his cheeks are aching. "Can I have some of your water, my face hurts from laughing."

"Sure." Liv replies as she raises up, trying to pass him the glass. She spills most of it before Dom is able to take it from her. She starts laughing even harder. Her sides are beginning to hurt. "Sorry." She tries to say, though she feels it may have came out incoherent.

Taking a huge breath, then sip, Dom fights the jiggly feeling in his belly. "Phew. Okay, here's another." He bats his eyes at her and singsongs,
"Heavenly Voice -
How silver-sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears."

Liv reaches out and grabs Miranda's hands. Her laughs have subsided to giggles finally. She starts to blush an ever darker shade of red, if possible.

Miranda stops laughing at the touch of Liv's hands. She agrees wholeheartedly with this description of Liv's voice. Smiling at Dom, she gently squeezes Liv's hands to reassure and calm her companion.

"Awww, I bet Mir can tell me if this one is correct.
'Lips of an Angel-
Her lips, two blushing pilgrims ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss
O, let lips do what hands do
O, trespass sweetly urg'd''
So, Mir have you been trespassing lately?" He enjoys watching the huge blush spread on Miranda's face.

"What?" Miranda squeals and blushes the darkest-possible shade of red. "What?" she repeats stammering, "Trespassing-- I-- who-- I mean-- Oh, you are mean, Dom!" Miranda finally manages to get out and unconsciously shifts closer to Liv, but is unable to stop herself from giggling again.

Liv looks at Miranda as he continues to read. Liv can see the blush coming across her friend's face and squeezes her hands tightly as she begins to giggle slightly.

Glancing pointedly at their clasped hands, Dom smirks and speaks with a bad foreign accent.
"Hands of the Dove -
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might kiss that cheek!"

Liv looks at Miranda. Her face on fire. "Gods." She mouths to her. She continues to hold her hand, looking back at Dom. "Do we dare continue sweetie?"

"It's only one more Livvie. You can take it." Dom grins hugely pleased with this meeting.

"Ah, the piece de resistance, the cherry on the top, as it were." He waggles his eyebrows and leers as he whispers. "This is your , um, you know....
Rose Bud of Ecstasy -
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
will prove a beauteous flower as next we cum"

Another squeal escapes Miranda as she stares wide-eyed at Liv. It's very arousing, encouraging and unsettling, all at the same time, to hear Dom read that bit out loud...

Liv slaps her free hand over her mouth, her eyes wide. She begins to giggle again, looking over at Miranda. Both women are blood red. "Oh Gods!" She murmers...removing her hand from her mouth and swating Dom on the arm. She then giggles again.

Kissing her fiery face, he hands her a pen to sign and winks at Miranda. "Thanks Livvie, you were a trooper. And I'm sure Mir can help you get over the trauma. Royce in Legal is going to be very happy, you liked his work."

Miranda seems to shrink in her chair at Dom's comment. "Shut up Dommie," is all she manages to get out, secretly hoping Liv will let her help with recovery for the trauma. Testing if all of these claims really are true... Miranda suppresses a shiver at the very thought and shuffles her foot nervously, making a mental note to kill Royce next time they meet.

Liv takes the pen from him and giggles as she looks at Miranda. She turns and signs the paper, thinking to herself, I bet Mir can help me relieve the trauma. She looks back at her and winks before turning back to Dom. "There you go sweetie. Oh, and tell Royce I'll deal with him later." She says with a smile.
