"You're lucky, there," He points out, downing a shot. "They're useless." He takes the phone and glances through the pictures and a headline or two. "Hah, your dad sounds like he knows how to have a good time." He hands the phone back to Axel.
He takes a moment to scan the club in hopes of setting sights on his favorite gal. And it just so happens that, among a group of lesser idiots, he spots her on the dance floor. A grin slides over his lips and he turns to his new buddy, "Wanna meet a gal pal of mine? She's tons'a fun.""
"Whatever, sure, let's do it." Axel knocked back his shots and turned his head, eyeing the girl that was in the line of Jerome's sight. Okay, it really didn't take a genius to put this whole puzzle together. That was the girl he mentioned, wasn't it? Well, it did explain the obsession. She was pretty stunning.
Getting to his feet, he stuck close to Jerome, leaning in a little with a smirk. "Pretty girl, that pal of yours. Guessing she ain't much more than a pal? Guys like you don't get that lucky."
Axel is right, other than Harley being any sort of pal at all, but "hasn't murdered you yet" is as close as some Gothamites get to friendly.
She catches a glimpse of Jerome as he points her out to his plus one, and immediately turns to her closest dance partner and kisses him. Lots of tongue. Very handsy. It's about to be the worst night of this guy's life.
"Barely even," he admits easily, leading the way over to where Harley is macking on some dude. "She barely tolerates me. but She does tolerate me, so I count it as a win." That's how it works, right? Whatever.
"Hey, fella, can I cut in?" He grips the guy's shoulder, just on a pressure point, no big deal, and jerks him backwards away from Harley. "Hey, doll. How ya doin'?"
