What A Great Audience

@ The Joker;
Jimmy smiled softly at her and chuckled. "Come on babe." he shook his head. "I was out getting some things done. I came back to see if you were awake yet. I didn't want to leave you to long until I knew you were back in good health." he said and laughed as the pup tripped him up. "What you wanna go outside again?" he asked stooping and petting the pup. He walked over to her and kissed her. "I'll be back. Eat more than the cupcakes." he said and squeezed her bottom before he pulled back and scooped up the pup taking him to the door putting the collar on and walking outside. Jimmy was only here until he was sure Illiana was going to take care of herself.

Illiana watched as Jimmy walked out the door and rolled her eyes. She walked to the kitchen where her cupcakes were sitting out on the counter, spread out buffet style. She grabbed two of the small cupcakes, eating one after the other before she grabbed a plate full of cookies. She also took the plate with a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich the chef handed her. She smiled at him lightly before she sat at the breakfast bar and ate her sandwich before moving on to the sweets. If she really wanted to, she could probably finish all of the stuff within the day but she knew that probably wasn't a good idea.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy came back in 20 minutes later holding the puppy. He smiled and set it down. The puppy scurried over and plopped itself at Illiana's feet. "There I think I wore him out." he said and chuckled sitting down. He looked over her food and chuckled. She ate sugar like he breathed air. It was adorable. "How did you sleep?" he asked and stretched out across the table from her. He knew this entire thing had to make her a bit uncomfortable but she was just going to have to understand that he was going to take care of her. Damn be her money or her attitude.

@ Jinx...
Illiana looked up at Jimmy as she ate one of her cupcakes, her eyebrows raising in surprise. "I slept just fine," she muttered before going back to eating her food. As much as she hated having Jimmy around, it was kind of a nice change instead of her always being home alone. "How long do you plan on being here?" She asked curiously, picking up one of her snickerdoodle cookies. She huffed when she realized it wasn't soft and threw it across the room. She hated crunchy cookies and enjoyed the ones that were soft. They were the best in her mind and she got cranky when they weren't how she liked them.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy sighed as she asked how long he was planning on staying. "As long as it takes to see you start taking care of yourself again. I don't like the idea that you weren't eating or sleeping so I'm going to make sure you do both and then I will leave." he said and chuckled shaking his head as she tossed the cookie. "Wow must have been a really bad cookie for you to just throw it like that." he said. Jimmy smiled. "And if you have a problem with that then perhaps you rather come stay at my place were you're not allowed to throw cookies." he said then stood and went over and kissed her lips.

Illiana frowned at Jimmy and huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "That's not fair at all so I'll settle for us being here," she muttered with a roll of her eyes. She knew Jimmy was just trying to do what was best for her but she wanted to just go about her life the way she wanted to live it. Not the way he wanted her to live it.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy smiled and chuckled. "I thought you might feel that way." he said and kissed her head. "It's not fun having someone who wants you to do as they want huh?" he asked and chuckled. "That's what you asked me to do." he said and shook his head. It was what he wanted to do anyways though seeing how all he wanted was for her to be alright. He stretched. "So what do you want to do today?" he asked and got some water.

Illiana shrugged as she frowned, biting her bottom lip. She stood up from the table and started to head for her bedroom. She had to check to see if anyone had called or texted. She did run her own company and her father would be beyond irritated if she ignored her responsibilities. Especially for a guy since her dad always told her not to get married until she was thirty. Which she found ironic because her parents got married when they were eighteen years old. But what could she do? She never wanted to disappoint her father.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy frowned as she walked away. He had the cook bake her some fresh cookies and made sure they would be chewy just how she liked them. Jimmy waited for her playing with the puppy and checking his text. He texted back a few of the guys but other than that he just sat there waiting for Illiana. There was nothing to do until later when she would need to eat again. Then maybe if everything went alright he could see about perhaps seeing if Illiana was up for some more intimate relations.

Illiana came downstairs after she messaged everyone back and told them what to do. She saw Jimmy playing with the puppy and frowned. As much as he was going to try and get her to eat normally and sleep like a regular human, she most likely wasn't going to. She still didn't want to sleep and all she wanted was to eat her feelings away because even though Jimmy wished everything was behind them, it was still very fresh. And she wasn't sure if she wanted to continue a relationship with him yet. "I have to run a few errands. Would you be interested in coming with me and Tote?"

@ The Joker;
Jimmy chuckled. "So that's the little buggers name." he said and rubbed his head as Tote plopped down next to Jimmy. Jimmy smiled and picked him up. "Sure were are we going?" He asked and smiled at her. Jimmy walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "Illiana you are so beautiful." he said and wrapped her in his arms a moment then let her go so she could lead the way. "So tomorrow I have some work to do in preparation with the bands for the tour. I will have to go out for a while." he said and walked easily with her. "But I could do it through chat if you rather I stick around but I thought you might like some me time." he said.

Illiana smiled and nodded her head in response to Jimmy's question. "I just thought about it while I was eating." She then walked over and slipped on her moccasin's she kept by the front door in case she ever had to leave sooner rather than later. "I have to go get some new clothes for a soiree that my parents are throwing," she snorted, rolling her eyes at the thought. "They also told me to 'bring my boyfriend'," she did air quotes at the demand. "So, now I have to find a stand in boyfriend," she shrugged as she walked out the door with Jimmy. She ignored his comment about the chat as she headed for the town car, getting in when the driver opened the door. As much as she loved Jimmy, she would never be able to introduce him to her parents. They had a thing when it came to her type. Especially the tattoos and them being 'bad boys' as they put it. She just didn't want to set him up for failure.

@ The Joker;
"A stand in boyfriend?" he asked walking after her. Jimmy frowned. He hated all this deceptive shit. "What are you afraid of showing me off to your high society friends and family?" he asked and got in the car with her. He ran a hand through his hair. Like it wasn't enough they had nearly just broken up now she was hiding him from her life still and finding fill ins. "You don't think I can clean up nice and impress a bunch of snobs?" he asked as he sat there looking at her in the car. He was kind of pissed about the situation.

Illiana groaned quietly at his words and ran her hand over her face as she took a deep breath. The way he was acting was not what needed right now. She didn't need someone who would get mad over her not wanting them to meet her family. "By all means than, Jimmy. Come. But if you get your feelings hurt because of some of the shit they say, don't come crying to me," she snapped at him. And she knew damn well they were going to gossip like hell about him. He was famous, for one. And well, they did the same to her last boyfriend which is why she started using fill ins.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy sighed. "What are they going to call me that my family already hasn't?" he asked and shook his head. "What time do I need to pick you up?" he asked. She wanted him to have more balls well by damn he was going to and there wasn't a damned thing she could do to make him stop now. Her family and friends were not going to scare him off because the only thing he feared was that Illiana would never love him. Jimmy shook his head and looked out the window. Illiana had no idea the shit he had been through and how hard he had worked to get were he was now. He wanted her and he was going to have her even if he had to work for it. Jimmy didn't know what she thought she was doing but it was nonsense to him because she didn't know.

Illiana rolled her eyes at him and took Tote into her lap, scratching his head and kissing his nose. They were heading for one of the most expensive areas to shop in and well, she was more excited than anything. She hadn't been able to shop there in so long except for these parties because she didn't want Jimmy or Austin to know how wealthy she was. Now they knew and there was no stopping her. "Okay, but I'm buying your tux," she shrugged. "There's a certain way you have to dress and I'll make sure you look good."

@ Jinx...

@ The Joker;
Jimmy frowned. "You don't have to do that dear. I can do that. I need a new good tux anyways and I do have enough money to splurge on one tux." he said and put his hand on her leg rubbing gently. "I told you I can take care of myself but thank you for looking out for me. Now as far as picking it out you can dress me like a Barbie dressing Ken all you want but I will buy it myself." he said and kissed her cheek. He was a famous musician and was very well off. He could take care of himself and he didn't want Illiana or her family thinking he was in it for the money or the social status. Jimmy was in this relationship for one thing, Illiana. "So what is this shindig for anyways?" he teased knowing his words were hillbilly at best but he knew when the time came he would be primed and polished to impress.

Illiana looked over to stare at Jimmy curiously. "You want to buy an expensive tux for one night at my parents house?" she asked curiously. Her parents always told her that if her boyfriend couldn't afford the same things she could, than she should dump his ass on the street corner which was definitely cruel as hell but that's how they were.

But she knew that Jimmy could afford it.He could probably afford almost anything that she could but not quite. And she had to make sure he looked good. "It's just a random party they're throwing. Rich people who have more money than they can spend do it all the time," she muttered with a roll of her eyes.

@ The Joker;
Jimmy nodded. "Yes I want to buy it." he said and smiled softly at her pleasure. He chuckled as she said it was just a random party. "Oh well Mikkie does that all the time." he said talking about one of the guys in his band. "Though I think that is more to get high and get laid." he said and shook his head. "No worried hun we'll wow this crowd." he said and was glad when they pulled into the expensive part of town. He got out with her. "Do I get to be your fashion critic?" he asked his hand on her lower back as they walked into the store.

Illiana shook her head and snorted quietly. "I can pick out my own dress without any help or people judging it. My parents have a specific taste so I have to dress a certain way," she sighed, getting out of the car. She started to head for her favorite store, stopping for a moment so Jimmy could catch up.
