Everything Falls Apart

Nov 11, 2004 01:16

What the hell? Eve had told me that Wes needed help, a nudge in the right direction, but she hadn't told me that he had gone quietly insane while I'd been gone. He'd kissed me and fool that I was I'd responded, long dormant feelings rising to the surface. But all along he'd been thinking of Fred. Lamenting over her demise. What I didn't undertand ( Read more... )

I was just about to head out of my office to see Lindsey when Lilah came barging back into my office. "You know, knocking isn't a lost art..."

"What the hell were you thinking? Wesley doesn't need to be coddled...he needs to be committed. This project is futile, I'm no psychiatrist. So, thanks but no thanks. You need to find someone else for the job."

I turned and looked at her, amusement all over my face. "Aren't we so...ballsy so early on..." I licked my lips and pulled out a mint from a small jar on my desk, I smirked as I popped it into my mouth. "I don't think you understand Lilah. You don't have a choice. This is your assignment. You are to guide Mr. Pryce back to the land of the normal. If you refuse will be forced to take other measures." I leaned back in my chair and looked up at her. "I'm sure you've heard of Wrath..."

"Aren't we so...ballsy so early on..."

I wanted to wipe that smug smirk off of her cutesy pie face. This wasn't being 'ballsy', this was just the warm up before the game. We were in the big leagues now and I wasn't going to take it from this little pinch hitter.

"I don't think you understand Lilah. You don't have a choice. This is your assignment. You are to guide Mr. Pryce back to the land of the normal. If you refuse will be forced to take other measures. I'm sure you've heard of Wrath...""The Wrath is supposed to scare me, pip? Oooh, I'm shaking in my Ferragamo sling-backs. Honey, you have got to have slept your way into this job. Was it Mr Suharto? He likes them young and...flexible ( ... )

I adored having Lilah around, if not to help Wesley but simply because I seemed to get under her skin quite well. She glared at me and I just smirked back at her and listened to her go on about things she didn't know.

"The Wrath is supposed to scare me, pip? Oooh, I'm shaking in my Ferragamo sling-backs. Honey, you have got to have slept your way into this job. Was it Mr Suharto? He likes them young and...flexible."

I laughed slightly, my eyes not faltering from hers. "First honey, don't call me that. Secondly you soon forget who just got you those sling-backs. Thirdly you are in for a rude awakening if you think that I'm some common whore like you that's slept her way to the top. I am the top, I've always been there. I didn't wedge myself in like some people ( ... )

I bared my teeth in a grin, and cocked my head to the side regarding with contempt this little starlet who thought she was up to my game.

"Yay. So, finally the gloves are starting to coming off, thought I'd have to massage you into it for a second. Give you the cliffnotes on come-backs or something."

"You know Lilah, if you like that look on your face so much I can gladly have them make that a permanent face when I have them put you back in permanent storage..."

"Who died and made you queen bitch around here? Oh, that's right, that would be me."

I didn't let my sneer slip when she threatened tossing me back in the box. Like that would be worse than having to spend time with Wesley the way he was right now. Now that was torture, that ( ... )
