CJ's Office Hour

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She's flipping through the Neiman Marcus catalog she picked up, listening to her headphones. Every now and again she sings along to snippets of Manilow, The Carpenters, and Neil Diamond. If anyone needs to talk, she's here.

Justin decides to stop in, he had left her a message but he didn't know she had gotten it; he meakly steps into the office, his hands in his cream coloured pant pockets as he stares at her. "Hello, CJ."

((I get a note? Whee. I like notes.))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Looking up, she smiles warmly.] Justin, hello. Come in and sit. How are you?

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justin takes a seat, leaning back against it, "I'm lovely, and you?" he messes with the end of his black jacket that matches his black business shirt underneath, he's always one for corrdination.

I'm well. Did you have a nice holiday? [She closes the catalog and wraps the headphones around the player, setting both aside.]

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"I guess so. I had no plans so I spent some time at the Hotel and the rest back in the garden." he folds his hands, "How was your holiday?" he asks with a small warm smile.

[Her smile fades a bit.] I hate Thanksgiving. But I did get to go shopping for very expensive gifts for the kids, so that was fun. And I took my boy to Big Sur...where he gave me the best thing I could have hoped for. All in all, the time away was good.

He smiles, "That's wonderful, CJ. I'm glad you atleast enjoyed that." he fidgets with his jacket again, "Have you recieved my message?" he quirks a brow slightly.

((check your gmail))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Message? No. I leave my phone at home, when did you call?

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"A while ago, I suppose, before you left but it was about me offering to take you out to dinner." his cheeks turn a slight pink at this, he was always called the best bachelor before Tessa but he wasn't sure if he had that status back.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

That sounds wonderful. I'll have to make sure my schedule is clear...but dinner would be very nice. We could talk some more about Nairobi, and things.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

He beams at her, "Wonderful. Wonderful. I was hoping you would say yes and now the question is, when?" he leans slightly forward, his gaze settling on her face.

Rory hesitantly knocks on the door. "Um. Professor Cregg?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[Smiling brightly, she waves her hand for Rory to come in.] Rory! Get in here...how are you feeling?

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine," Rory says, smiling. "I actually wanted to check and see what I need to do to make up last week's work."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Last week? Um...we're working on it. It's non-verbal stuff. Nothing to worry about, hon. You want to make up the credits? Tell me what a good espresso maker is.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

That's the tougher part. Supposedly I have dance club beginning again, I have a family dinner as soon as my boy's paperwork comes through and a couple other plot things we're waiting to hear back on, when did you have in mind?

[Jack comes barging in, and grins at CJ.] Ten said the note said to come bother you. So here I am. What am I supposed to bother you about. Oh, sorry. Hi, I'm Jack.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm not terribly busy, any time would be wonderful." he stops and turns to see the young man, he stands to hold out his hand, "Justin Quayle. Nice to meet you Jack."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you. You're the diplomacy professor, right?" Jack shakes his hand. He's in a disgustingly good mood, if one was minded to be disgusted by happy people.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

He shakes the boys hand stoutly, "I was, there wasn't much interest in the classes so I decided to stick to something I love: Gardening." a large smile covers his face.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"You like gardening?" Jack askes. "I suppose everyone's got a quirk..."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Jack [She says sharply, her voice softening out immediately.] Respect, sweetie.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

A slight shrug, "I love gardening, it's very stress relieving." he awkwardly stands, glancing down at CJ for a moment, "You're more than welcome to come and see."--a pause--"If you like?"
