[TM] I've had enough of travel, I'm ready to be in one place.

Apr 21, 2007 18:43

Eve had been from one coast to the other in a short span of a week, and even that seemed surreal to her. In the days of working for Wolfram and Hart that sort of travel was easier... fast jets... realms of transdimensional travel, and the White Room made jet-lag something of the past. It seemed sort of pedestrian of her to travel through airports ( Read more... )

Joseph was pretty good at a lot of things, but Lit was a big obstacle for him and always had been. He lucked out with a cool professor, but still...sitting at home, stretched out on his sofa, trying to wade through THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE so he could do an evaluation of the primary character...he wanted to shut his fucking head in the door. He couldn't fucking concentrate ( ... )

Eve was bewildered at how horrible Gene Simmons' facelift recovery was going and was in the middle of contemplating calling him up personally to ask him just how insane he was to be taking calls and trying to conduct business only a week after extensive surgery to his face. She knew most of it was staged, it had to be given that she highly doubted that he would actually set up business meetings for "KISS my Sushi" but still... all that did was make her a bit more hungry ( ... )

Joseph simply stood there for a moment in the doorway as she walked away blithely, stripping off her top, and finally smiled fleetingly as he moved into the house and shut the door. "Yeah, you think yer so damn cute...lucky for you, ya are." he grunted, rather than play along as he usually did, setting the food on the table in the foyer as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down to kiss her until his own head was spinning ( ... )

She leaned against the arm of the couch watching him move across the room, shooting back a bit of snark at her, "I think I'm cute? Trust me I deal in facts only these days. It's a fact that I'm cute ( ... )

Watching her flit around and finally hoist herself up to sit on the table and eat, Joseph had to wonder, not for the first time, what he was doing with a girl like Eve. Some of what the Pinhead said made sense: Eve wouldn't be with him if Lindsey hadn't backed down...but Eve could have ended up with anyone.

And here she was eating stir-fried vegetables in her bra and giving him that coy, playful little look...with him. Not with anybody else.

"I might be swayed into a bite." he finally acquiesced, walking over to lean in with a small smirk. "Or maybe just a taste."

He kissed her then, catching the tang of soy sauce still on her lips from her bite of food before he pulled away, settling back into his usual broody expression as he reached into her container and plucked out a snow pea sticking straight out. Popping it into his mouth, he chewed thoughtfully for a moment as he regarded her, then swallowed.

"So...you and Lindsey, eh?"

Eve's expressions shifted from one of a playful coy flirt, to near shock as she heard a name slip from Joe's lips that she was pretty sure she had made certain that she didn't mention. It wasn't because she wanted to keep secrets from him, it was more of a matter of protection. Protection from the insanity of the last few months, from the harsh truth that came with actually signing away everything to be with someone only to lose them in the end, and from the fact that she knew she would probably always care for him ( ... )

"Wasn't no contest...it was a two-hit fight." Joseph replied testily, stepping back and pacing restlessly away from her. "I hit him, he hit the floor."

For a moment he just paced, not saying anything, then finally turned to face her. "I'm just *pissed*, y'know? You *should* have told me...and not for that. I get that...you tryin' to do us both a solid, and he's yer ex. Yer entitled to still care." He paused finally advancing on her again, not with malice, but simple agitation.

"What pisses me off," he finally admitted with a growl, "is that I had him. I had him *weeks* ago when he gave me shit at school...and all I did was break his fuckin' nose!! I could have kicked the *shit* out of him, but I didn't have a clue!!"

Eve swallowed hard the mouthful of food she had been chewing when Joe mentioned punching Lindsey, then she nearly gagged on that last bit that wasn't going down when he said the reason he was mad at her was because he could have beaten him up if he had known. She could handle him being mad at her for keeping secrets, for not trusting him with a name, but it seemed like her reasons for not telling him were even more reality based than she had realized. Joe would have killed him, or close to if he had known ( ... )

Joseph blinked, a little surprised by her anger, and *definitely* surprised that she was close to sticking it to him physically. It was one of the few times he could read thoughts clearly, because she was literally broadcasting, she was that mad. Everything rang out clear in his mind, and actually kind of stung, especially when she mentioned all she'd gone through...he got a vague, ghostly impression of pain, Lindsey's face...and for some reason, lots of cake ( ... )
