At the Bar with Ithal
Kartik: "I do not love her."
Ithal: "It doesn't seem that way to me."
Kartik: "Well, you're wrong."
Ithal: "I disagree."
Jerk: *Pesters Gemma to dance*
Gemma: *Tries to get of Jerk* "I said no."
Kartik: *Hears interaction, sees, to Ithal* "That's her."
Ithal: "She's pretty."
Kartik: *Gets up, goes over to Gemma* "Something wrong, babe?"
Gemma: *Sees Kartik, glad to see him* "Yes, I was looking for you but this guy doesn't seem to understand that I'm taken."
Jerk: *to Kartik* "I never saw you come in with her."
Kartik: "Maybe it's because you weren't looking hard enough."
Ithal: *Watches*
Gemma: *to Jerk* "And listen to a woman when she says she's taken."
Kartik" *"Back off" glare to Jerk*
Jerk: *Leaves*
Gemma: *Glad Jerk left*
Kartik: *Hears a good dancing song come on, gets in appropriate dance form*
Gemma: *Sees, unsure if she should dance*
Kartik: "Come on, your boyfriend wants to dance."
Gemma: *Gets into dance position*
Kartik/Gemma: *Dance in a sexy manner*
Ithal: *Watches, wide-eyed*
Kartik: "What brings you out tonight?" *Pulls Gemma close*
Gemma: "Just thought I should relax and get a drink. How about you?"
Kartik: "Oh, I frequently come here for the damsels in distress" *Winks*
Gemma: "Oh, I thought the only reason why you saved me is because you actually love me."
Kartik: "Well, one thing that's certain is that you love me." *Snickers, dips Gemma in a sexy manner*
Ithal: *Watches, eyes widen more* "Wow."
Gemma: *Shocked by dip, looks up at Kartik* "No, I think you love me."
Kartik: "That's not true."
Gemma: "Oh, really? Then why are you so hell-bent on trying to make me break up with Simon?"
Kartik: "You'll find out soon enough." *Spins Gemma around so that her back is to him, sways hips together*
Gemma: *Shocked at how well Kartik dances, likes moving with him like this*
Song: *Ends*
Kartik: *Lets go of Gemma, bows, returns to Ithal, sits back at stool*
Ithal: *Stares at Kartik*
Kartik: *Gets uncomfortable* "What?"
Ithal: "Nothing, it's just obvious that you love her."
Kartik: *Offended* "No, it's not." *drinks*
Ithal: *Scoffs* "Yeah, right. From what I remember of how you acted with girls, this is the first time that I've seen you do something like that without trying to get into her pants."
Kartik: "I just wanted to get a rise out of her, like always."
Ithal: "Sure you did."
Kartik: "I did." *drinks*
Ithal: *Knows Kartik is lying*
Kartik: "Shut up."
Ithal: "I'm not saying anything, except that you love her."
Kartik: "I do not."
Ithal: "You do so."
Kartik: *Ignores Ithal, drinks*
