Ivan looked at her and chuckled. He loved hanging out with Aliyah. They seemed to get along well together, which was one of the reasons he wanted to date her. He wasn't sure if anyone picked up on the fact he wasn't sleeping with a lot of girls like he knew he could. He didn't want to ruin any future chance he had with Allie. He looked at her when he heard her call him slave boy and just laughed. She had his full attention after signing the autograph when he felt her cup hit him in the back of the head.
"I'm sorry about her." He smiled at the girl behind the counter who looked like she was going to die from the simple comment. "Come on I think you've had enough coffee." He laughed picking up her cup off of the floor and tossing it in the trashcan. Grabbing her wrist he led her out of the coffee shop before they got kicked out. Of course he heard the elderly couple talking about how loud they were being. Were they that bad? Most likely. Once they were outside he waved his hand up waiting for a taxi to stop and get them. After a minute or so he was able to get one for the pair. "After you." He held the door open for Aliyah to get in. He slid in after them and closed the door behind himself.
"CG Productions please." The taxi driver nodded and pulled off into the busy New York street. "So do you want to take bets on Sebastian and Lydia's soberness? I'm willing to bet they have pretty bad hangovers." He was going to have a conversation with the two of them after the conference. They were representing Devil's Lament who's name was becoming more and more famous. They couldn't be getting passed out drunk every night knowing there is a possibility of cameras being around. Besides having a band full of drunks is less attractive right? "I'm more so worried about Lydia though. Is it just me or has she been drinking more and more lately?" Hopefully she wasn't becoming addicted. The band hadn't even just begun their stardom and she is already going to rehab. Isn't that something people go to after a year or two of being famous? Shrugging he turned to look at Aliyah again. "So tell me about John. I would love to know the guy who almost killed my dear Allie."
