#OOC Thanks to Lara's handler for writing with me and suggesting this be a CD piece, and for giving me his blessing to post this. I legit never would have thought to make it a development piece.
It was a colder day in Chicago than Katie expected. She doesn’t know why she didn’t expect it to be below freezing in Chicago in mid December, but she didn’t expect it. The only plus for her is that it wasn’t snowing. That said, she packed this nice light blue jacket that goes down to her ankles, so it wasn’t necessarily a problem. With high heels, tan scarf, and a nice dark dress underneath, Katie was dressed for a fancy day without that jacket. Lara, of course, was used to the climate by now, having lived in Chicago her entire life. Sitting in the back of her limo, the car pulled up beside where Katie stood, the back window rolling down to reveal the little blonde, dressed in a blue miniskirt, black fishnets, and one of her father's old merch shirts, and of course she had something terribly random to say.
"Dude. Why does everyone who has a podcast feel the need to talk in this low, uber-serious tone? It's like... you're talking about Dungeons & Dragons and beer, not Auschwitz. Anyhoo, get in, hot stuff!"
Katie simply blinks in response to this podcast talk, and simply asks...
"Can you open the limo's trunk first so I can put this in?"
Katie lifts her one bag of luggage with relative ease. There's one perk of her wrestling; she can do that with one arm.
"Then I'll definitely get in. We've got some cuddling to catch up on before the fancy-schmancy food."
After some mumbling from Lara to the driver, the trunk popped open, as Lara herself opened the back door, sliding over so Katie could get right in when she was done.
"Well... I do love me some cuddles... plus I'm hyper excited about Genesis coming up and need muh gurl to squeal to."
Katie walked over to the open trunk and put her luggage in, wheels down face up. Once she closes the trunk lid, Katie climbs into the limo and immediately gives Lara a hug and a kiss on the cheek after closing the door behind her.
"I brought a couple things for once we're in the hotel to seal what we have, by the way..."
"Like toys?" Lara asked, little grin twinkling.
"Because nothing says 'I'm Yours' like a great big rubber dick."
Good lord... anyone who had ever met her father would facepalm at just HOW much like him this young girl was. The mischievous nature, the wacky demeanor, the adorably foul mouth... she curled up to Katie, practically purring.
"So how was my Katiebear's flight?"
Katie leaned into Lara's ear and whispered.
"That and then some, babe."
The brunette winked, then leaned back and said out loud.
"The flight? Oh, it was smooth as silk. Quiet, comfy, didn't smell offensive... the flight was good."
"Yeah... I gotta give it to Senor Satan... dude has good taste in jets."
Lara chuckled, leaning in to nip at the side of her girl's neck.
"You look phenomenal, by the way. Like... I damn near whimpered when I saw you."
"Then when I get this jacket off, you're gonna howl."
Katie immediately replied, trying to be more confident in herself. Normally this is a situation where she'd be modest, but if Lara wanted Katie to not be so down, then maybe that was a good start. Lara actually beamed there, nodding happily.
"THAT'S what I wanna hear. You're fucking gorgeous, and it's time you realize it and OWN it. Trust me, I have plans for you... but we gotta build you up big time before we can execute those plans."
Now Katie was just confused. As per usual.
"Plans? Oh, for DPW, you mean?"
"Yeah." Lara said, squeezing Katie's hand softly.
"I know you have a lot of doubts about yourself and your looks and ability.... but I don't. And I know if I work with you behind the scenes, I can change your confidence on both parts."
Katie takes her other hand and softly squeezes Lara's hand that's squeezing Katie's first hand.
"I'd love if you did that, Lara. Like, you have nooo idea."
“Of course, baby. I want to see you succeed, and you can only do that if you take it slow, work on one thing at a time, and eventually? Move up to a spot on the card where EVERYONE will have to sit up and take notice of just how good you are.”
Lara told her, fierce determination and belief in her eyes. It wasn’t just kind words… she truly believed everything she was saying. While Katie was for sure appreciative for these words, she for once knew that Lara was talking to her with a certain fire. A different one from what Katie saw when she entered the limo.
"Then you have my word that's what I'll do."
