@lcdiesman missed.

" I would prefer to have someone to go with, you can be like my arm candy. "

There was a small smirk tugging at the edges of her mouth. Her legs tucked under her and her eyebrows raised.

" You're pretty enough. "

@lcdiesman " I have . . . an event "

She leaned forward. It wasn't that she exactly liked getting under his skin, although that was a bonus in itself, but there was a sort of familiarity that came with being around tucker. One she hadn't felt in quite a while, and didn't realize she

@lcdiesman it here doesn’t mean I’m going to let you stay. It’s going to cost ya’. “

@lcdiesman for the other to join her if he so cared. Her entire tone and demeanor had greatly relaxed, there was no need for her to be so tense in her own home after all. She smiled at him, making her previous statement a clear jab at his current status.

“ But, just because you made

@lcdiesman back in, but kept the bottle on her side of the table.

“ Why were you so hesitant to share? If you’re going to travel planets for a shitty pill, might as well be open with it. “

[𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙰𝙱𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙴 (𝙲𝙰𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙽𝙸𝙰) 𝙶𝙾𝙻𝙳 @OfLoveAndLoss]

@lcdiesman engraved.

“ I never took you for an ambien guy, Lavernius. “

She smiled. His irritation was entertaining to say the least. With her free hand she poured him another glass and topped off her own. The use of his name was just an extra jab at the other. She plopped the pill

@lcdiesman almost reminiscent of how they used to talk in tone.

@lcdiesman arm. She was interested in taking them from him. With her recent connections it was unnecessary when she could enjoy straight from the source. It was mostly her curiosity that beckoned his goodies in her hand.

“ You have no choice. “

This line was more . . . playful,

@lcdiesman trying to get off Paige, and why are you here to begin with? “

[𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙰𝙱𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙴 (𝙲𝙰𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙽𝙸𝙰) 𝙶𝙾𝙻𝙳 @OfLoveAndLoss]

@lcdiesman finishing what was left, and poured the new bottle right over it.

“ I’m going to need some explanations. “

Her tone had relaxed. She didn’t want to upset with him, it had been years. As she spoke she put the cork back on the bottle and pushed it aside.

“ What were you

@lcdiesman inside of the island, offering the side with stools to him. She took a sip of wine.

“ Sit, sit. Do you want a drink? “

[𝙰𝙽𝙽𝙰𝙱𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙴 (𝙲𝙰𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙽𝙸𝙰) 𝙶𝙾𝙻𝙳 @OfLoveAndLoss]

@lcdiesman She closed and locked the door behind and and faces open layout of her current abode. It was sleek, futurist and chic. Expensive.

“ Thanks. “

The tension quickly made her uncomfortable, she made her way back into the kitchen and nodded for him to follow. She stood on the

@lcdiesman door, Tucker must’ve heard a couple of physical clicks and slides and then one digital scan. The door opened.

She stood before him, eye level. It wasn’t clear what her expression was, but nonetheless she moved out of his way and invited him in.

“ Common. “

@lcdiesman Cali had now been sitting on a stool facing her kitchen counter. The knock made her head turn, she stood and made her way to the door. The entire situation hadn’t even given her the mental space to change out of her shoes, so her heals clicked with each step. Unlocking the

@lcdiesman attention back to the pantry and finally was able to select her wine, some variation of white she enjoyed; she filled the glass.

Cali’s thoughts focused on where Tucker ‘happened’ to stumble into. He would be kidding himself if he thinks he’s staying here without interrogation.

@lcdiesman She told the man on the other side of the line Tucker’s location, and a brief description of him, and the ended the phone call with directions to be sure no one followed him. She hung up the phone. It wouldn’t take Tucker long to get here once to car found him.
