Oh her flirtations just seemed to be getting more and more obvious as time dragged on. Gus could foresee a terrible, blasting hangover for Wendy in the morning. He knew she was going to regret the amount of drinking she did tonight. Luckily for Gus, he only had about two thirds of his Godfather. So he was still all good.. Well, okay he was slightly buzzed but he was good enough to drive Wendy to her place then get himself back to his own home.

He did need to wash the Blueberry, though. But unfortunately the local car wash had closed for the winter months already and Gus just did not have the time to take the day to wash it himself. Though maybe he could convince.. No, Shawn was not th type of person to be convinced to do anything like washing a car.

Glancing at her as he put his seat belt on, Gus leaned a wrist on the steering wheel. He was going to answer her first question but then Wendy began to drunkenly sing, reaching out to touch his face. Letting out a soft laugh, he caught her fingers before she could poke him in the eye and lowered her hand, placing it back on her lap.

He cleared his throat and softly sang along with her with a small smile as he pulled out of the parking space. "Do you realize we're floating in space.. Do I turn left or right?" He interjected, needing directions.

Of course Wendy's hands did not stay put for long, but at least they didn't invade his personal space right away. She flipped down the sun visor and looked at herself in the little lighted mirror. Not too shabby! "Do you realize~" Wendy continued, "that I don't know the other words~" she admitted though she did keep to the melody.

Laughing to herself, she deliberately ignored Gus' question. Soooo what - she felt a little stubborn! "I know, why don't we have a sleepover?" Wendy suggested, reaching her finger over and trailing it down his arm before reeling it back in. "I promise I won't keep you up all night, well... unless you want me to."

He felt like he was on a cliff, waiting for her directions so he could drive her home. But she left him hanging which resulted in him practically parked at an intersection. At least it was late enough so no one else was on the road but still..

He chuckled when she admitted to not knowing the rest of the lyrics. To be honest, Gus couldn't exactly remember every song lyric either. "It's fine I don't remember them either.."

His eyes widened slightly at her finger travelling down the length of his arm. Forcing a soft laugh to beak the awkward silence, Gus supposed there was no way he was going to get the directions he wanted unless he pretended to go along with her. So he looked at her. "Alright Miss Wendy.. If you are so adamant about a sleepover, why don't you take me to your place? My place isn't all that inviting, at the moment you know."

Gus hoped that would be enough to get simple directions from her. With her in this state, there was no way he was going to bring her back to his place. He was much more respectable than to take advantage of a drunken lady.

Wendy hadn't noticed that they had stopped, for all she knew they were waiting at the light! Her smile quirked, encouraged by his cute, modest little laugh - her touch falling from his arm to his knee. She stared at him longingly, wetting her lips as he spoke. So he wanted to see her place. If only she had a place of her own to show him.

"Nuh-uh." she shook her head stubbornly, "No sleepovers allowed at my place sorrrrry -" Wendy informed with a chime to her voice before the thought crossed her mind that this guy could have a family at his home, or even a pregnant girlfriend or something. Wouldn't be the first. "You - aren't married... are you?" she asked, her tone quieting in to a hush as she looked at him in an examining way. He so didn't act married when he was using those pick up lines on her... but maybe that was his whole ruse. Her eyes narrowed at him slightly and her hands withdrew, arms folding over her chest as she looked at him expectantly.

It was all he could do not to jump when Wendy's hand suddenly dropped down to his knee. He just had to remind himself that she was handsy because she was drunk--hopefully anyways-- and soon he could get her home and she could sleep all of this off. Hopefully things would go well when she was not drunk, though. He was a bit nervous about that, to be honest.

She was still playing, wanting him to bring her to his place. Well he was very adamant that he would not bring her to his home. No, too much of a temptation if he were to do that. He was thankful when she removed her hand but furrowed his brow slightly at her demanding question. He leaned back slightly, leaning his wrist on the steering wheel.

"Miss Wendy, do I honestly look like the type of guy that could possibly be married at this point? Wait.. Are you?" He looked at her suspiciously, though he doubted she was. Still, perhaps it was enough to get her thinking of why she wouldn't let him bring her home.

In her wary expression, Wendy tilted her head at his question. He didn't say no, so that was suspicious. Then he asked if she was married, which just prompted her to burst out laughing, "Me? Married!" she reveled in the audacity, leaning back in the passenger's seat as her arms wrapped around herself, "Oh, you slay me Gus," she sighed, her head plopping against the seat to face him, her smile fading - "but wait. You din't answer my question,"

Wendy pouted at him, her mind convincing her that he was married and just looking for a little fling with her - despite how obviously he'd been trying to not encourage her advances. "you are arn't you!" she huffed, crossing her arms and turning forward without a beat. "You need to take me home now." she stated her words still slurred, but her tone serious. "No way am I going to make the same mistake again. Jus take a left buster. Riv'rside partment complex." Wendy tried to keep her words curt and concise, not giving him anything but a cold shoulder now that she thought she knew his dirty secret.

Her laugh at his question was reassuring. He would have hated it if he had been flirting with a married woman. Gus had stronger morals than that. However he realized as she spoke, accusingly, that he had not answered her question. Still, her thinking that he was married had managed to get directions to her place, so in a way he won.

He couldn't help the small smile on his face as he turned, already knowing the directions to Riverside. He knew enough people that lived there, mostly colleagues, so he wouldn't need much more direction from her except for when he walked her back to her apartment--he was going to do that because he wanted to be sure she actually got home and not just to the building.

Gus was troubled at something she did say, though. Not making the same mistake again, it was worrisome but Gus knew better than to press the issue. He glanced at her and chuckled at how silent she was now being. "What, you aren't going to converse with me now?" He then shrugged. "That's fine, at least I got the directions to your place.. But I am not married, Miss Wendy. As much as that might come as a complete shock to you."

Wendy kept sullen and quiet, which was a pretty hard thing for her to do. But she'd been sweet talked before, knowingly by married and technically unavailable guys. It was always a disaster that ended up with her pissed off at the world. No, no matter how drunk she was Wendy wouldn't be doing that tonight.

Even at his question, she turned further away from him as if she wasn't already facing out of her window. When he said he wasn't married, she scoffed bitterly. "Oh yeah, right. Heard it. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and watchin' the reruns." she spoke harshly, the hurt in her tone more inward than anything else.

Her mind wasn't mulling over whether he was or wasn't married now, it was beginning to drown in all the memories past - the nights spent furiously calling her then-current flame, crying in to a whole pot of coffee after being told to fuck off. She recoiled inside of herself, just staring out of the window but seeing nothing. Her eyes bleary with tears, everything just reminding her of how lonely she really was.
