@DeviousParagon [I amuse myself with a coin which was left on the counter from earlier.] Depends on what? Whether you get bored… or whether you find someone new to torture? [I sought out her reaction knowing I've once again poked at her.] You've got some business in >
[I watch your lips twist into that pitying pout and involuntarily hum a quiet "Hm." It almost, /almost/ makes me loses my entire act of bravado.] I know better than to believe anything that pretty little mouth of yours spews.
What if I’ve returned to make it all better? [I play on the vague optimism that casts a quick flicker to his visage.]
Would you believe me if I said I was sorry? [Tethering off, I allow my lips to drop to a low pout, lashes flutter displaying a feign innocent frown.]
Do you ever sit back and think long and hard, coming to the conclusion that huh, maybe I should be less of a dick. Then shrug it off and move on with life.
[As if on queue with her groan, I grip her arms and pin them by her side so that she cannot escape.] Gotcha, didn't I? [I keep her there for what I can imagine as one brutally long two seconds, and then I let go.] What are you doing?
[[A sudden rush of air blows a single strand of hair across my vision, aware now that I wasn’t as alone as I thought I had been I inhale a deep breath. Whoever or whatever this was, typically had only one reason for disrupting my peace.]] Damon!
[[I groan his name.]]
Distracted. [I hide my curiosity as best as I can. The more she thinks I care, the bigger that ego of hers gets...] Right.
Nope! [I pop the word playfully.] We're off limits. You know - because of the whole - you ruining our lives part. [Smiles ear to ear]
