@Unebelleperle - leave a nasty scar. Glad it's in a place where it can be hidden... for the most part. Especially with the lights turned down. *I winked at you and then winced again as you poked a little harder.* Hey that's not fair. You're taking advantage now.
@Unebelleperle *I shook my head and set the glass down on the bedside table.* Go ahead. I'll wait. And we do need to talk. I realize that. Waiting until morning will just let things fester and this needs clearing up. *I winced as you prodded the wound, but I'd had worse.* This is sure gonna -
@Unebelleperle - the sheet down.* I guess we best get this doctorin' over with so the real fight can begin huh? There was no avoiding this and while I dreaded it, at last I could tell my whole truth to you with no work restrictions and secrecy.*
@Unebelleperle *I poured out a stiff one and drank it down swiftly before pouring the second one to sip on more slowly. I could tell by the look on your face that a reckoning between us was coming. I sat back against the headboard of the bed and once the last of the girls had left, I pulled -
@Unebelleperle - and I let out a whistle looking at the angry red wound facing me. I had torn several of the stitches and the bleeding had restarted. Quickly I threw a sheet over myself as several of the girls brought up supplies. It was a shame we didn't have a sober doctor in this town.*
@Unebelleperle I'm sure. But there is a lot more to Bloom than they are aware. My time here hasn't been wasted. I've investigated a lot. When I write my report to my supervisor it's gonna be a long one. *I finally made it to the room and settled down. You helped me get my boots and slacks off-
@Unebelleperle - I seriously doubt they would protest! *I gripped the railing on one side and you on the other to pull myself up the stairs to head for my room. Once we were all settled i knew we had to talk this all through and there was a lot you were still not aware of. This was going to -
@Unebelleperle - Looks like I have ruined another pair huh? Should I take these off here or wait until I can get you upstairs? *I know I was flirting badly, but I wanted to keep the mood as light as I could. You had a nasty temper and I'd rather I wasn't the subject of it.*
@Unebelleperle *I pouted my lips but my eyes remained sparkling as you got me through the doors and over to sit down in one of the chairs at a floor table.* I don't know. It might take quite a bit to keep the pain down! *I frowned at the red stain spreading onto the upper thigh of my slacks.* -
@Unebelleperle - anyone deserved such a fate it was that bastard!* I hope you're gonna provide the whiskey while you're stitching me up sweetheart? *The rest of the girls were coming out now to greet us with looks of relief and some winks as well. Their smirks and grins were taking over. -
@Unebelleperle - balance by reaching out to grasp your shoulder.* If you're gonna hit me, at least give me a chance to get a drink first. I could use a good stiff one!
@Unebelleperle I'm sorry but I fell over once I shot at him. My leg gave out. I didn't mean to scare you. And I know you have the right to be mad at me, but can it wait until I can get up and try to defend myself? *I grinned up to you as I struggled to get back up to my feet, and regain my -
@LoveNObligation "Have you forgotten I'm stubborn and do things my own way."
Hand reaching out, running over your shirt and seeing nothing. Gaze looking to Bloom one more time.
"I'm tempted to shoot him myself just to make sure he ain't faking it."
Chuckling I looked back to you. Of course I-
@Unebelleperle - very soul. I couldn't help but smile through the pain as I glanced over to see Bloom ad not moved. He was dead!* So does this mean you're not still mad at me?
@Unebelleperle No Pearl. Stay away. Please. * I could hear her approaching and prayed Bloom was dead. He wouldn't hesitate to kill her. I knew that.* Pearl for the love of God stay away! And then I felt her touch and opened my eyes to look into hers. What I saw there reached my heart, my -
