New Year's Eve Soiree

[sandsofchaos]

Jennifer had put in extra overtime for this - though Set himself had arranged the servers, made of sand and storm - but the stage was set. The glossy black bar was stocked fully with any kind of alcohol you could ever desire, including a selection of Egyptian microbrews. To the right of it, the dessert bar - staffed by two lithe, sloe-eyed girls - has any sweet you might desire, from a chocolate fountain to creme brulee to a dense raspberry torte.

There are the low couches by the windows, where the waiters pass with French champagne and canapes regularly, and for those who don't mind the chill, there are the vast decks just outside, where you can appreciate the sight of New York on this night, or...possibly find some privacy for that New Year's kiss.

He glanced up over the rim of his glass, blinking a few times. A bit nonplussed, Apollo lowered the tumbler and smiled genially up at the moon goddess.

"Hullo, Selene," he replied cordially. "What's wrong, dearest?"

Selene's glare withered quickly, as half hearted as it was. She sighed and dropped her hands from her hips. "You didn't come to my party, dear."

She flopped onto the couch next to him and grabbed a glass of champagne from the passing waitress.

"I know, love, and I'm dreadfully sorry. I had a bit of business to attend to on my island, a spite among the locals which threatened to broil over, hence I was delivering thundering denunciations until things settled down."

Green eyes rolled and he took a swallow of whiskey. "Believe me, I'd have rather been at your place, getting plastered." Placing a kiss to her cheek, he gives her a pout. "Forgive me?"

Selene looked as though she was thinking over it, long and hard, as she sipped her champagne. "Well... I can hardly blame you for missing it because of that...."

Another sip of champagne. "I suppose I forgive you... It's hard to deny that pout, after all."

"Oh, believe me. I wouldn't have missed it otherwise." He grinned and nuzzled her cheek fondly, saying, "I'll make it up to you, dearest. Promise."

He leaned back against the cushions, adding, "You'll have to come out to the beach house soon. We'll sit on the deck, drink and talk about the good ol' days."

"Mmm, I look forward to it," Selene laughed as he nuzzled against her cheek.

She leaned back as he did. "That sounds absolutely lovely, I would love to. Just let me know when is good for you and I can take the time off."

"Well, anytime, really. I more or less have work on an automated schedule now - thank goodness, so leisure time isn't a problem."

He quirked an eyebrow. "Just be sure you don't take too much time off, else the mortal kids will be missing you."
