It'll all be over soon....

Tucker was off the phone like lighting which upset me a bit, but considering the circumstances, was probably for the best. If he was meeting with this Morgan woman already, and he was getting the same feedback I was from Jezebel, well then he’d probably want to be- yeah. Not exactly on the phone right now. Once everything was over and I managed ( Read more... )

I finished up in the shower, not very amused at the prank Tucker'd pulled but hey, he was young, I'd grant him a little slack. This time. I moved into the bedroom and pulled out a whole new set of clothes to wear. As if I was going to put the crumpled ones back on. Tucker looked dressed and semi decent, and I told him to check the bathroom was presentable. Soon I was clad in a new pristine suit, and had pulled my hair back into a lazy bun, secured with a couple of black lacquered chopsticks. I hadn't wet my hair, of course, that might've look too suspicious. I touched up my make-up as well, after all my cheeks were still a little flushed and my lips were all kiss-swollen ( ... )

I drank the rest of the brandy in one gulp when I heard Amy's knock at the door. Keep my head. Right. Keep focused, try to just think about what's next. Not what just happened. Definitely don't think about going from behind horizontal with Lilah's legs wrapped around me to discussing paid R&D internships and keeping my schoolwork in check. And then, definitely don't think about it being the same hand that was doing something really vulgar in the bathroom as being the same hand that is shaking my girlfriend's hand. It was trippy to look at Lilah Morgan's modus operandi. She was totally comfortable with it just being sex and then it just being business. That was some confidence. The woman had drive. I hated and feared it instantly, but at the same time, I really wanting the same security for myself ( ... )

I did my best to give at least a convinced smile as Lilah rattled off things to me, the smile widening to a grin when I saw Tucker. And he offered me his chair…sometimes I simply want to choke that boy to death, but sometimes, he’s just great. Given our current situation, I resisted outright throwing my arms around him and hugging him. Randomly, I rememberd Lilah’s offer for a drink, and gave a slight nod and shrug. “Um, sure, why not?”

"Hey, girl," I gestures at the chair I'd just gotten out of, offering it to her. I ran my hand down her upper arm as she passed by me and said softly, "We're almost through this. Everything's going to be just fine."“I know,” I said, giving him a slight smile. And he was right. It would be over soon, or at least we’d be out of the woods. How things were going to work with Wolfram and Hart in the picture, I still wasn’t sure. But then, I guess I was going to find out soon enough, now wasn’t I ( ... )

It really was quite amusing to watch Tucker around his girlfriend. As soon as she came into the room he actually got to his feet and offered her his chair. Not a gesture that I would've pegged him to do considering the way he'd acted at the feminist lecture, and less than an hour ago, on the carpet at our feet. It was sweet, actually. He must've really had it bad for this girl.

Amy was a little skittish when she entered, but she seemed to visibily relax and even smiled when she saw Tucker.

“I guess we should read the fine print first next time we conjure something, huh?”I poured her a glass of brandy, and handed it to her with a smile ( ... )
