ODESSA WALKED INTO THE foyer of her house, gripping her bag to her chest. she had just come home from fez's, she thought about the events that had led her to this point. she thought about nate, about rues plan to scare nate, and of course, fez.

a part of her hoped fez would go through with the plan, point a gun at nate, and the darkest part of her wished he would pull the trigger. she hadn't even noticed the monster her family had been harboring under their roof, the type of man he had become. it didn't just affect her anymore, which meant she couldn't ignore it for any longer.

after she and fez had their fight, she stuck around for an hour afterwards. they mainly sat in silence. however, it wasn't the kind of silence that she was used to, they sat in complete familiarity and comfort.

fez sat with his arm around her, stroking her hair as they watched the last few minutes of a random indie movie fez had put on an hour earlier. she had her head rested on his shoulder. odessa thought about how nice this was, she wished she could stay here forever. the end credits to the movie began to play and fez stopped playing with her hair.

fez turned to her, speaking in a soft voice, "i gotta go soon."

she lifted her head up, "oh," her voice came out in a soft sort of whimper. she didn't mean to sound disappointed but she was. "where?"

"i gotta help ash at the store," he stood up, and moved in front of her, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead, "i'll see you later though, deal?"

she nodded, "okay, i just have to go to the bathroom before i go."

fez nodded and odessa walked into the hallway, she looked back at fez who was putting stuff into his bag, odessa figured he had to 'stock up' the store.

odessa made a right into fez's grandmothers room. she stared at the old women, "you won't tell on me, will you grams?"

she watched as the old women's chest rose and drooped as she was breathing. odessa opened one of the cabinets on the bedside table. moments later she emerged from the room, leaving the door slightly a jar. fez was still counting product. she walked up to him, she grabbed his hand.

"i'm gonna head out now." she told him.

"okay," she kissed him, promptly, he ran his hands through her hair "you know maybe ash can work alone for just a little longer."

odessa smirked, "oh yeah? i'd stay but my mom really wants me home."

fez groaned, "whatever you say shawty."

she kissed him one more time picked up her bag, walking towards the door, "see you soon?"

"yeah." he smiled a very cheesy grin. "of course"

odessa bit her lip and smiled before walking out of his house.

odessa sat down on her bed, opening her bag and staring at the contents, she really hoped this wouldn't come back to bite her in the ass later.
