Thread: House of Cards (Kirby & manofyourdream)

They say, Politics is a cut throat business! The Underwoods had every intention of making every word of it become true. Francis came from nothing and lot of people thought he was no good and nothing but a white trash. Well, here he was. He got to where he was by working just as hard and he expected some fruition. Though, he knew that he needed to work a little harder, go that extra mile and he knows he will get there. He was a power-hungry Democratic congressman from South Carolina and House majority whip, partys top choice for Speaker for the next Congress. So yeah, he came from nothing and became a Minority whip and now, a Majority. Though, this wasnt just enough for him and his wife Claire. Speaking of which, he was blessed to have such a strong and powerful woman at his side, making him what he was today. And again, it was true, what they say, Behind a successful man, theres a woman. That was Claire, planning strategically alongside with him, aiding himthem to become what they wish to become one day. They knew the path wasnt easy and theyd have to come across times when theyd require to do the unpleasant yet necessary thing. The goal was to secure the election of President Garrett Walker to get himself appointed Secretary of State. It wasnt just about the money but power. The Underwoods hopes that Garrett would honor their agreement because if doesnt, hes going to have to work twice as hard. Hes prepared to whatever that needs be done to get him where he wants to be. A benefit was being held in the honor of Garrett Walkers success and Francis would kick him over to acquire the throne if he could but he didnt do that. Instead, he stood amongst a small crowd of high officials, making small talks and faking a selling smile to them, he slowly moved away to other guests. A lot went on in politics and in DC, only if you were to keep your mouth shut and observe the people at these parties, theres always somewhere someones secrets are being spilled. Call it gossip but in politics, gossips can do a lot of damage if it became public. He finally walked away from the people he was talking to and decided to head over to the bar to get some water since the cheap wine had made his throat itch so badly. They could have at least picked a better winehe cursed whoever had planned this event. He wasnt the one to notice these things usually but a view of a fine form fitting white dress had finally caught his attention. He wouldnt have gone over to strike a conversation but it seemed that the woman was walking in the same direction, to the bar. Was it intentional? Hed never know but here, his eyes were glued seeing how her hips moved in that nice piece of number. His eyes gazed hard over her waist, trying to see if he could see the shape of her panties in that tight dress but quickly darted his gaze over to the bartender as he approached the bar. He had thought it was some woman and to tell the truth, women in politics were never quite good to look at so he half mindedly thought that she might just be some old hag. He was dressed in a custom made grey suit, white shirt, matching slacks and a grey tie, looking dashing as always. He tried not to seem like a teenager, trying to steal a look at the bar. He had arrived after she had and so, he went ahead and stood at arms distance from the girl, casually tapping his fingers on the bar counter and finally, he turned to see who the woman was next to himwho obviously smelled great! Turning to find out that he was wrong to think that this was some woman, no, she was young girl and a pretty one too. He couldnt help but nod at her and then at the bartender as he asked what did they want. Oh please, help this young lady first. He said and swiftly turned to lean on the counter, And good evening to you. Hows your evening going so far? He couldnt believe himself that he just said that to her. Though, he tried not to stare at her, he did give her a look once over, noticing how lithe her frame was and the tight dress was evident of that. Francis Francis Underwood . He said as he extended his hand for a shake, thinking this was nothing but a casual introduction.
