Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
Sly nearly collapsed when she was done with her laps. She had woken up at six this morning, irritated beyond belief and ready to punch someone. Literally. Yesterday, she had to deal with Nick and JinX giving each other looks and pretending as if neither did anything. But Sly saw it - she saw through them. And hated them both with a passion. And if it wasn't bad enough, they had to deal with burying a shit load of bodies the yesterday and the person that asked for it tried Sly's patience so hard. They had the audacity to try not to pay them the full amount. Sly had pretty much ignored Nick and had her blade at the bastard's throat before Nick could even threaten him. Sure, it might have been her overstepping her boundaries, but Sly had already been low on patience.
Naturally, Nick snapped at her for her carelessness and although Sly usually bat her lashes and flirted with him to get him off back, but it hadn't worked. He got up in her face and usually, Sly would be turned on by his powerful presence. But yesterday...she almost thought he'd hit her. JinX only gave her a look that ensured words later on and Sly was left feeling beyond pissed, irritated and ready to kill someone.
"Fuck," she growled under her breath, leaning down as she breathed heavily and rested her hands on her knees. After a few seconds, she rose up to stand straight and swiped the sweat from her forehead. "Might as well deal with it. Besides, I don't give a fuck about either of them." She ignored whatever part of her brain that disagreed with her statement and hurried to get back home.
It took Sly fifteen minutes to get herself together. She had to bathe and just sat there for a few minutes, using some of the strawberry-scented body lotion that she had left. She had two bottles and the one she was using was handled with the utmost care. There was no telling when or if they'd be making these types of lotion again. Finally, Sly got dressed in her
outfit for the day. And yes, she did still wear heeled boots. She was a girl, damnit. She was allowed to be sexy and the heels didn't affect her abilities. In fact, they might have helped. Sly released her long, curly dark brown hair from its ponytail and it fell around her elegantly. With a wink at her reflection, she strutted out of her room with a flip of her hair, ready to start her day and find something to eat.
