Chapter Five
Willow and Xander some how managed to get into their room without really talking to any of the people who had over heard their conversation. They even tried to get out of 'Kliq night out', however Kevin was having none of that. So they decided to go on the offensive. They dressed and arrived in the lobby relatively on time. They looked incredible. Willow wore the leather pants from Alterna-Willow's outfit; she still wasn't sure how she ended up keeping the binding leather gear. Her green tank top was fitted with a built in bra that created cleavage, which drew many eyes. Over that she wore a black leather jacket she had found in a thrift store soon after she and Xander left Sunnydale. On her feet were four inch, open toed black platform sandals.
Xander wore dense, dark blue cargo jeans. His silk tee shirt was a deep blue that made his brown eyes sparkle. His hair was simply brushed back, but the thick locks didn't seem to want to stay back. Xander's out fit was alarmingly similar to Jeff's. The younger Hardy brother's shirt was a startling white rather than the deep blue, but that was the only difference. They were even both wearing heavy Doc Martin Boots.
Nikki wore a short black leather mini, with a purple tank top much like Willow's. The front of her tank showed two overlapping almost triangular symbols, one blue and one pink; the overlap a nice mellow purple, somewhat lighter than the shirt itself. Her impressive cleavage was enough to make the mouth water, and her long hair flowed down her back in a waterfall of curls, her face framed by the two purple streaks. Her thick thighs were bare, though her legs were incased in knee high black leather hooker boots. Her normally dramatic make-up was absent in favor of just purple tinted lip-gloss.
Amy was wearing a Gucci outfit Linda insisted was perfect for her. Her top was a sheer looking black washed silk Organza knit top, with Black stretch cotton flare pants, and black leather calf boots.
As Linda had dressed Amy, Amy had done the same for the athletic black woman. Linda wore Red leather pants that fit like a second skin. She wore red patent leather boots. And a tight fuzzy black sweater shot through with metallic red threads. Her shoulder length braids were pulled back with a red headband. Matt wore a long sleeve black tee under a red and black Marilyn Manson shirt and black cargo pants, while Chris wore simple black slacks and a black turtleneck. His long blonde hair, currently blue at the tip, was pulled back into a queue at the nape of his neck; and his face was, for a change, clean-shaven.
The Kliq was resplendent in leather. Each member wore at least one piece of cowhide. Nash had his pants. Paul, Sean and Michael all had leather jackets. Paul Wight wore FUBU leather from head to toe, with a gray Henley. PJ, had leather wrist cuffs and a studded leather collar round his neck, as well as very fitted leather pants. All wore mostly black though Kevin's shirt was a warm burgundy that managed to make his tanned skin glow and yet seem darker.
Kevin refused to tell anyone where they were headed so everyone was surprised when the hotel van pulled up outside an actual restaurant. After dinner Kevin once again hid their destination from his friends and protégé. This time the gang pulled up outside of a very disreputable looking bar. A place much more like what Team Extreme and Jericho were expecting of a Kliq night on the town.
From the outside it bar looked part biker bar, and part honkey tonk and part whorehouse, while inside the decor was astounding. The North Carolinian Bar was designed to look like an antebellum gentlemen's club. Every one there was having fun, drinking and dancing and conversing. It was a huge party rather than a bunch of people separated into small groups of friends. As the evening progressed Willow and Xander somehow managed to avoid any real conversation with Jeff and Nikki. Edge, however, cornered Xander several times to tease the younger man with his knowledge. Willow was so busy avoiding Nikki and her knowing smiles, that she didn't notice when she moved from PJ's arms into Jeff's.
"So Xander has a thang for me?" Jeff asked. Though his tone was teasing, the wheels in the southerner's head were turning furiously. Jeff easily admitted that he was flattered. Xander wasn't hard on the eyes and really, to know that a fairly 'straight' bisexual was enamored of you did do loads for the old ego. What the multicolored hair wrestler refused to give voice to was the fact that his feelings on the subject went well beyond simply being flattered.
"Please, please, please don't tease him. If it weren't for the fact that its so nice to see Edge even half way full of jocularity, I'd have to use extreme means to punish him for all the teasing he's doing. I finally got Xander to talk to me about this and now Edge is gonna ruin it." Willow babbled.
"Will'o'mine don't worry a minute. I won't tease Xander for knowing a good thing when he sees it." He smiled evilly at the look of relief on Willow's face. "However that means that I will just have to pick on you twice as much for your yen for Nikki." He teased her mercilessly.
"But-but. Okay so I may have a slight crush on Nikki, but I'm developing very strong feelings for a certain colorful Hardy Boy." Willow smiled up at Jeff.
"And you still have love for a certain dark haired life long best friend, with excellent taste, might I add." Jeff prodded.
"What's all this? Why are you trying to give me away? You're just now getting me and you're trying to give me away already. First to Nikki now to Xander? IF you don't want what's being offered just say so." Willow tried to move from Jeff's arms, only to find that the extreme wrestler refused to let her go.
"Look I want what's being offered...you have no idea exactly how much I want it. But I refuse to accept it when you don't even know what you are offering. Look, I have this thing about honesty. I just want you to be honest with yourself." At Willow's look of outrage Jeff rushed on. "I'm not saying that you are intentionally lying but I do think that you are one of those rare people whose heart is just too big for a traditional relationship. You seem to be such a giver that in a 'normal relationship' you'd end up being used. Not to mention the fact that what's between you and Xander would destroy any relationship that he wasn't a part of."
"I-I Xander and I are just." Willow began.
