Borderlands : The Pre-Space

MAP : 7

  It was strange that she hadn't mentioned it to me. Why a ex-vault hunter. And WHY won't anyone give me details. Does no one think that it might of been some what important to tell me that she's what I am?

"W-why, didn't you mention you were one of t-them?" I yelled out over the music not sure what to call us exactly. Yes, I know Vault hunter, but seriously that sounds....stupid.

"What?" Lilith stopped dancing looking at me with that bored face.

I sighed. "A Vault Hunter."

"Ex-Vault Hunter." She corrected with a finger in the air walking past me and Timothy heading toward the bar.

I followed behind her. I stood beside her as she drank a shot. "Yes, but you..."

She stopped me. "Wanna know why I didn't tell you?" I nodded. "Because it wasn't any of your business." She rolled her eyes.

I glanced over at Timothy who stood uncomfortably shifting feet avoiding my eye contact. My eyes went back to Lilith who was pouring more drink into her shot cup.

"Now we're on vacation. Together." Lilith smiled with all she had which was scary looking. Her top lip didn't leave her teeth.

Together? The tall dark skinned man came up beside Lilith. His deep voice grumbled. "Yeah, we're out of the Vault Hunting game."

"Too many tentacles." Lilith replied taking another shot.

I wrinkled my brow. "Tentacles?"

Lilith turned away from me turning her body toward him. She forced his hands onto her hips. Their eyes meeting.

I looked away toward Timothy who was looking at me awkwardly. I was not staring as they made googly eyes toward each other.

Lilith turned toward me. "Oh, Adalyn, I didn't get to mention but this is my boyfriend, Roland."

Roland kept his face straight not a single curve crept up to his lips. Lilith elbowed him making his lips curve into the most strained and uncomfortable smile i'd ever seen. It was making me uncomfortable just trying to make myself smile that I looked away.

I looked at Timothy again giving him a look that said. 'What now?'

Before Timothy could answer Jack came over the radio. "Go talk to Moxxi!" He yelled in an aggravated tone.

Almost as if it was planned a women who was very showy came out from the back room as Jack spoke the words. Her heels hitting against the floor. She had almost a corset dress on pushing her boobs up like crazy a small heart tattooed on the right. Her face was plastered in makeup two light red blush circles were patted onto her cheeks while mascara ran down from her eyes. Her brown curled up hair sat against her shoulders. She carried a tray with drinks on it. This women had to be Moxxi. Who else would dress like this other than a bar tender.

"Looking for me. Sugar?" Her calm voice struck the room to silence as even the drunk men took a gander at her their eyes filled with lust.

I glanced over at Timothy his eyes were wider than saucers. 'Oh great' I thought with a grumble. I gestured him to talk to her. He looked at me real fast then took a stumbling few steps up to the bar.

"Holy nut-... hi! I'm uh... Jack. Obviously. And I need your help. Are you SURE we're still not dating? wow." Timothy blinked rapidly with nervousness as his voice squeaked with each word.

And dating? He! Dated! HER?

Moxxi met Timothy's eyes placing her hands down on the counter. Pressing her forearms against her boobs making them almost pop out of place. She stood in a sexy stance.
