Never Enough Time | Huskerdust

Chap 26 - Ship <3

A/N:     Welcome! Omg, thank you all for over 1.8k reads! I love this story so much and I'm so happy I get to share this story with you all! Also, I'm in the process of creating a new cover because I just threw together the one I have now.

"I'm gonna head out," I tell Emery who shrugs.

He nods goodbye, saying, "Alright, I'll tell Misty."

I grab my duffel bag and head out of the lounge. The casino's slow today; there's a parade for the last couple weeks before extermination going on at the center of the Pentagon- just a few streets over.

I decide to walk to the newly built studios. Velvette called me earlier this morning, saying that she needed me for shoots and other stuff today. The walk is a nice break from the sleepless past few days. Husk's been keeping me busy, but I've also been with Charlie to figure out how we're going to go about being attacked first.

I stare up at the building. It looks nice. I step through the blurry glass sliding doors into the large main room. I'm met with a blast of warm air that feels nice at eleven thirty in the morning. I'd already been at the studios this morning, but I had to go back to the casino to help since Fredrick was sick and Misty was taking his job as Husk's secretary for the day.

I look around and not many people are around. Like at the casino, all of the usually busy places are not busy.

I spot Dia and Summer who wave me over to them. "Hey, Kitty's pet. Where ya been?" Summer asks, the edge of her lips quirking up.

I place a hand on my hip and wink at her, "Busy bein' with my Kitty." The two laugh/shake their head in amusement.

"Are ya finally back for good? Val's been working us past the limits- ya know, after losin' everthin'?" Dia says to me, "We ain't suppose to talk 'bout it." She whispers the last part, putting a hand up to shield her mouth from others.

I hum, "I ain't surprised. Nah, I ain't back for good, I'm here for Velvette."

Dia hums, "She's been bitchy -more than usual- lately." Dia looks around before whispering in my ear, cupping her hands around her mouth, "I think it's that time."

I chuckle, "Why am I not surprised."

Summer and Dia smile before sharing an annoyed glance as a certain someone comes into the room. "That mouse chick a yours is bein' shitty. Complainin' 'bout only gettin' four hours of sleep last night." Dia complains to me and I smirk.

"Well... Can't help ya there girlies." I wink at them, "I'll talk to her."

"Angel!" Naveah calls from across the room. I walk over to her.

"Heya mousy, havin' lots of fun workin'?" I joke, "I hear Val's been keepin' ya busy."

Neveah groans, "Oh my god, yes. It's soooo annoying!"

"Well, he must really like ya if he keeping a little thing like you busy." 

"What are you talking about!? I only got four hours of sleep last night! He kept me from lunch to fuck three people!" She whines to me and I can't help but think about the shit I was put through when I was here.

"Hm, well toots, you best get used to it." Her jaw falls open, "what can I say? Bein' the favorite's not easy." I wink at her and she blushes, "Besides, Val's business is close to shuttin' down so be grateful ya still have a job."

Naveah frowns, "But working for so long! I only got three hours of sleep the night before!"

I roll my eyes, "Aye, aye, aye, come on girly, you're fine. Some of the others have been workin' their asses off too- you ain't much different." I shrug and she glares at me.
