[dated to After the Bees but before GLADoS date experiment] [wide open once she's been seated]

[badluckbabe]

Jinx hadn't been to this cafe yet, she was aware of it as much as anything else on the ship but so far it was one of the few places she hadn't explored first hand. But Diana was a perfect excuse to see if it was worth the price of admission (free).

She had spent a fair amount of time in cafe's and diners back on her own world in her own universe. It was a peaceful escape from her own team mates where she could have some coffee or a soda, a slice of pie and just people watch. Sometimes she would draw, sometimes she would listen to music and marvel at how easy it was for a girl with pink hair and eyes to blend into the back round of other peoples lives.

It was a necessity as well. Jinx's powers as wonderful and helpful as they were for most of her life seemed to have one major flaw. Any time she tried to cook something more complicated then a bowl of cereal or a sandwich something went horribly wrong. She'd been thrown out of her Home Ec. Class at Hive Academy because of one particularly messy incident involving an automatic mixer and the instructors ponytail.

So making other people cook for her was much easier and more satisfying. A life of petty crime afforded her more then enough to live off the culinary skills of other people.

Back in the moment Jinx scanned the entrance way to see if she should seat herself, or wait to be seated.

Comments

Damn it, how evil WAS she?! Mindy at least understood what a mild crush was, but it was totally annoying that Diana was able to not only pin point that but tease her about it.

Annoying, but not to much of a big deal.

"Yeah, go ahead," she said, shaking her head. "And yeah, point on Jinx, Really should start charging people at this point."

[keep_surviving]

Smirking, Diana turned back to Jinx, winking. “Is she the cutest?” She commented, making sure to raise her voice just enough for Mindy to hear. “Working for her’s just a thrill.”

She leant forward, opening her mouth and taking the piece offered to her, giving Jinx a view of her chest. Licking the cream of her lips, she stayed where she was, eyes fixed on Jinx.

“I’ve told her about charging. After all, it might actually mean a wage.” Diana said, spreading a few more crumbs out across the table, which Pro happily pecked up.

“I am doing this out of the ‘kindness of my heart’.” Her tone was mocking and Diana turned back around to flash a pretty smile at Mindy. “Not that I don’t enjoy spending time with you, cutie. Why do you think I keep coming back?” Apart from the free food.

[badluckbabe]

"I bet." Jinx shot back with a smirk, "I've seen her shoot an alien between the eyes from about a block away." Mindy was on the list of "People Jinx keeps her eyes on" in case she ever needed someone with those particular skills.

"You and your big giving heart." She added when Diana called back to Mindy. Sharp eyes caught Mindy's reaction and a wicked smirk crossed her features. Could it be she wasn't the only one Diana had wrapping around those clever fingers.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"She earns it," Mindy said duly, trying to make her voice sound even and flat even as she felt her skin prickle a bit. Damn it Diana, why the hell did you have to say shit like that all the time? It really made it hard to be professional!

"You stay because you got nothing better to do," Mindy said, "just like I do it because I need a hobby. That's what they keep telling me anyway."

Blatant lie, considering the frame above the door, but no one had to know that!

"I just gotta figure what I would charge."

[keep_surviving]

Diana put on a false pout, corners of her mouth still tugged upward in her smirk. “Does that mean you don’t like seeing me everyday, Mindy?”

She brushed her cheek with Jinx’s, eyes still on her young boss. “Jinx likes seeing me.”

[badluckbabe]

That statement couldn't be more true, and just as Diana probably wanted, Jinx's mind was assaulted with memories of stolen moments of warmth with Diana in the darkness of her apartment.

Bringing herself back to reality she finished off her pie with rose in her cheeks and winked at Mindy playfully to see if she too could play along with Diana's game. She was of course on Diana's team so it made things easier. "It's hard to take your eyes off her sometimes."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Yeah well, I want people to eat, not make kissy faces at the help!" Mindy said, forever the tsundre. "Not that I can argue with her looking good enough to bring in more people, for the dudes anyway."

And at the last statement, she shook her head. "I like seeing you just fine. This place is hard enough to manage without help." Man it was good she was Mindy now. "But I hear you, Jinx. She's pretty cool."

[keep_surviving]

"I think she's getting a little grumpy." She stage whispered to Jinx before calling over. "I could always come over there and give you a kiss too?"

As Diana deliberately laid her open hand on the table for Jinx to see she flashed a sharp toothed smile, amusement clear in her eyes. Clearly, flirting with others infront of Jinx could not instill guilt in Diana. "The boss likes me. Does this mean I get a raise?"

[badluckbabe]

"Depends on how you do on y our employee review~." Jinx shot back and traced a slow circle in Diana's open palm slow and coy.

Then to Mindy "Just remember cutie," Adopting Diana's nickname for her "Dining isn't just about the meal, it's the experience. The memories." Somehow even those words sounded like they had a deeper more inviting meaning to them.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Good god, these two. They should just go and get a room already. And what the hell, with the open flirtation?! She was specufucally messing with her!

"No thanks," she said, "got my hands full. Good offer though!"

If you wanted a viking to come after you.

"Yeah yeah, but enough with the cutie stuff! the name is Mindy!"

[keep_surviving]

A hand wave. "Maybe next time."

Diana half closed her fingers around Jinx's in a sort-of hand-hold. With her free hand though she flicked the pink haired girls nose. "Yeh, enough of 'the cutie stuff'. I've got that copyrighted you know."

Another shout out to Mindy, because it was too much fun. "You're my cutie, aren't you, boss?"

[badluckbabe]

Jinx wiggled her nose and pouted in protest but then chuckled. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I'll just have to resort to regular flattery then."

A bit of leftover pineapple on her plate inspired her and she took up a piece balancing it on her fingertip and offering it to Diana, fully aware this was a great way to lose that fingertip.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy shook her head. Stupid girls with their stupid flirtation and their stupid hotness.

"Any more cutie talk and you're helping me wash all the dishes tonight Diana," she warned, hiding a grin. "And watch that finger, Jinx."

[keep_surviving]

Diana could miss a golden opportunity like that, especially when Mindy just handed it to her on a silver platter. "You make it sound like spending the night together would be a bad thing, cutie."

Rolling her eyes at their jokes, she looks at pineapple on Jinx's finger then carefully leans in to wrap her lips around it, smirking.

[badluckbabe]

Exactly what Jinx had been hoping for. She sighed peacefully, blushing lightly and smiling pleased at the feeling. "I'd miss you if she kept you hogged all too herself." She teased some more. and slid her foot along Diana's exactly like Diana had done to her earlier.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Spending the night together would be bad for your health," she replied, smirking. "Unless you wanna have an angry viking up in your face. Actually, i might wanna see that."

Oh man, those two. They kinda made her and Ruff look like they were "going steady" in comparison.

[keep_surviving]

"Now you've just made me curious." Diana said slyly around Jinx's fingertip, which she gave a sneaky suckle of before pulling slowly away. "And given me a challenge."

Diana's foot retaliated by running all the way up Jinx's calf. "I would offer tonight but I'm afraid Jinx already had me booked."

"Unless you want to start off with something easier?" From the look on her face, Diana seemed to be enjoying herself far too much.

[badluckbabe]

Jinx purred and brought the moist fingertip to her own lips tracing over them slowly watching Diana work her magic while feeling it in another way. She was so good she was flirting with both of them at the same time, and utterly carrying the room. If they ever made it back home Diana should really consider a career as an actress. Entire theaters would swoon for her, Jinx included no doubt.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Seriously, how this even came to be was something Mindy would have to think about later. One days she was running the stupid cafe, next day she had two employees, one of which liked to pass the time flirting with her.

Maybe this was revenge for all those times she flirted with negi in front of Sasami?

But hell, who was she to look like some adult figure? She could play along. "What'd you have in mind?"

[keep_surviving]

"Oh, thinking about it, are we? Well, then, that depends, what would like from me?" She watched Mindy carefully with half lidded dark eyes framed with thick eyelashes, well aware about the sort of invitation she'd just given.

Her legs are still tangled with Jinx's and her sly fingers have managed to intertwine with Jinx's own and start stroking her hands and wrists.

[badluckbabe]

It was like some kind of strange exparament in physical and emotional manipulations. Jinx could feel herself both drawn in, and fascinated. On the one hand she couldn't stop feeling each stroke of Diana's fingers, the warmth from her hands or the softness of her skin. At the same time she was loving watching Mindy get drawn in by the same charms that kept the normally in control Jinx on her toes.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"You just say that so you don't have to assume responsibility," Mindy said, grinning. "You're the one that said you wanted to start off with something small. So what's say you come with us for dinner sometime soon? You sorta bailed on us the last time."

That is, when Jinx and Diana stopped feeling on each other. Oh yeah, Mindy was that observant.

[keep_surviving]

"Responsibility is over rated." Diana waved the comment away. "I was just offering to see if Mindy knows what she likes."

She put on a false pout on her pretty face. "I didn't bail, I was just preoccupied." She gestured to Jinx to show exactly what she'd been busy with that particular night.

Noticing Mindy watching their actions, her smirk flickered back across her lips and let go of Jinx's hand to curl her fingers around the collar of Jinx's top, pulling the other girl close to press their lips together and deepen the kiss immediately, french kissing her unabashedly.

[badluckbabe]

Jinx made a little noise of surprise, her face heating up at going so far ias to make out in public, but her instincts kicked in and she fell into step kissing back eagerly, hungry for the sensations that only Diana could give her. So much for modesty, or maintaining some air of confidence. She was putty and she knew it.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Oh man. Diana was just totally doing this to be teasing, wasn't she? What she wanted was really just for fun. Not that Mindy wasn't used to it by now, but come on. Besides, this was the last thing she needed to see after what happened with her and Ruffnut recently.

"Oh, keep at it, probably give me more business anyway," she said, shaking her head. It was...weird, but what did she care?
