Earlier today I was on my way to the library when I saw him. Rath. I stopped in my tracks as he was looking in a store window. I took a deep breath and approached.
Liz: R..Rath?
Rath: Liz, um, yeah what are you doing here?
Liz: I..I think we need to talk
Rath: Yeah, you mean more like you tell me how bad I am and I can't get a word in edgewise.
Liz: *looking at shoes* No....I know something.
Rath: Do you? Please enlighten me.
Liz: *points to cafe* Lets go there
Rath: Okay
Rath: *follows Liz to Cafe*
Liz: *They get coffee and sit down*
Liz: Ok, first off...I don't agree with anything you did to me back at..wherever we were. What you did to me was horrid
Rath: *looks down* Yeah you are right
Liz: but..but there was something about you...after you stormed out of the meeting and after you were done wailing on me. The expression you gave me made me curious. So I had Isabel dream walk you
Rath: So you wanted to see what made me tick?
Liz: Yah, kinda
Liz: But she saw something....something about me
Rath: So what did you learn?
Liz: That you weren't going to rape me. And that... *looks down*
Rath: *laughs* So someone finally believes me.
Liz: That you have a thing for me
Liz: which i don't understand how you can still beat me up!
Liz: *sighs*
Rath: Fuck, not sure if I would call it a thing, but yeah you have touched a part of me I never wanted touched.
Liz: What..what do you mean?
Rath: I hit you to protect you Liz because I was losing control and even though I didn't want to rape you I couldn't take the chance that I would respect that if I had lost control.
Liz: You mean when you were hitting me you were in control? *shakes head* I don't understand
Rath: You know, I am part human no matter how much I try to hide that and you reached that part of me, the humanity and I didn't like that
Liz: When you were pretending to be Michael....you were so kind to me...
Rath: Yeah, thats how you got in
Liz: I hadn't had that much attention from anyone in a while...
Liz: not even from Max
Rath: Well Max doesn't appreciate a good thing when it is right in front of him
Liz: *looks down*
Liz: I don't know
Rath: Liz for what its worth you are pretty good for a human and I got no pleasure out of what I did to you
Liz: *looks in Raths eyes* I didn't exactly get any pleasure out of it either, Rath
Rath: Yeah, fuck of course not. Liz I won't hurt you again if that is what you are worried about
Rath: *takes a sip of his Mocha*
Liz: *sigh* Somehow I knew that. There's this vibe that I get off of you. Lately at least now that my guard isn't completely up
Liz: I would love to have the Rath back that I knew as Michael
Liz: minus all the deceptions and lying
Rath: I am going to be completely honest with you Liz. I love Lonnie, but you have gotten under my skin and I don't know what that means, you know?
Liz: *sigh* And I love Max. I do....
Liz: Something about when we were interacting as Michael/Liz just...there was something
Liz: and that was you
Rath: Yeah, I know and I feel bad for trying to break you up.
Liz: You do not!
Rath: I know, Lonnie saw that I was being nice to you because I wanted to and not because it was part of the plan.
Liz: *sigh* Rath, I want to hate you with all my heart. What you did to me was horrible. I...I don't even want to remember it. But I can't shake this feeling that I get from you
Rath: It would be easier if you did hate me.
Liz: *lightly touches Rath's hand* I don't think I can, anymore
Rath: But I know, I don't want you to go away either
Liz: *takes hand back* This is akward
Rath: I know, I am there too
Liz: Let's just take it slow...see where this goes.
Liz: But you love Lonnie and I love Max.
Liz: remember that
Rath: Okay, get to know each other without lies and crap, I can do that
Liz: *smiles* Good
Rath: *returns the smile*
Now I have to head to work. I want to talk about this to someone. I think Maria wouldn't understand, but maybe Tess?
Liz: R..Rath?
Rath: Liz, um, yeah what are you doing here?
Liz: I..I think we need to talk
Rath: Yeah, you mean more like you tell me how bad I am and I can't get a word in edgewise.
Liz: *looking at shoes* No....I know something.
Rath: Do you? Please enlighten me.
