Snippet #2440047

It didn’t take a genius to realize that her blunt attitude was a complete turn off for him, but she was just too exhausted and irritated to care. She wasn’t one for idle socializing, and this was the first time in a very long time that she was just hanging around an area and talking to people she had never met before. She generally walked into a situation, did what needed to be done before leaving just as quickly as she appeared. This was definitely not her normal day. Sighing softly, she waved the waitress down to get another drink and shifted herself in order to get more comfortable.

Alright, salvage this before he stabs you in the face or something.

As he began talking, she noticed his stoic attitude and mentally noted that he was definitely in cop mode. He also wasn’t frightened of her, which actually intrigued her immensely. It had gotten tiresome having everyone frightened of her, and the fact that someone wasn’t, was like a breath of fresh air. Tilting her head as he questioned her, she noticed the pouches and couldn’t help but wonder what was in them. Oh, yes, sometimes being curious was an annoyance. He asked again about Felicity and she wondered why he kept bringing her up.

“Look, I’m sorry for being so standoffish. These type of events really aren’t my cup of tea. I’m just extremely stressed out and my person I’m waiting on never showed and that’s frustrating me as well. I’m suspicious of everyone, no offense intended. Plus, you’re a cop and I’m always uncomfortable around them. Again, she isn’t my acquaintance. I just met the woman today and I’m sure she wants to induct me in some hooker position or something. It’s nothing to worry about, Xas.”
