Love Isn't as Easy as the Books

Part 16

Chapter Notes

This is the last real chapter.
BEWARE things get pretty non consensual with Kuvira lurking around.

Becky: Guess who's back

Bolin: Shady's back? Back again?!

Becky: Kuvira

Bolin: WHAT?

Becky: Kuvira is in town

Bolin: I know what you're thinking and DON'T DO IT

Becky: We're getting dinner tonight.

Bolin: DAMN IT BECKY

Becky: She was fine when we got coffee yesterday

Bolin: DAMN IT BECKY

Becky: What?

Bolin: Does Freen know?

Becky: ...

Becky: I just told her I was getting dinner with a friend.

Bolin: And you neglected to mention it was the Queen Bitch that ripped out your still beating heart and buried it several miles underneath the surface of the Earth?

Becky: ... yeah

Bolin: Trust me when I say this: just cancel on her. Don't go. Stay home with Freen. She's not worth it.

Becky: I've got to go Bo.

Bolin: Ho don't do it!

Bolin: Becky?

Bolin: Becky?

Bolin: Fuck.

Bolin: I'm not picking up the pieces again. Because I'M STILL PICKING UP THE PIECES FROM THE LAST TIME KUVIRA DUMPED YOU.

Bolin: Damn it Becky

Becky slipped her still buzzing phone into her pocket as she entered the restaurant. Kuvira was already there waiting for her, sitting at the table with her back perfectly straight, hair back, and looking as strong and commanding as ever.

She smiled like the cat who caught the canary, "Hey Becky, take a seat."

Becky took the open seat across from the impressive woman and instantly she sat up straight. Just being in her presence made her feel like a teenager again, a kid in military school.

"So tell me about this book you wrote," she started the conversation off.

Becky talked about Epilogues and the adventure of writing it and actually getting it published. Kuvira rested her head on her hands and watched Becky talk about all of the stuff that came with writing and her experiences with the book.

"That sounds fun," Kuvira said once Becky finally wound down talking about writing just as their food arrived.

The tan one smiled brightly. God it felt so good to get back to the way things were, the way they should have been. Happy, easy, carefree.

"How is the United States Armed Services?"

Kuvira shrugged. "You know, fighting the good fight, keeping the world safe and free. I'm a Major now, so I don't see any front line combat like I want to," she said with a frown. "I'm just glad to not be in Iraq any more. Talk about a clusterfuck. Too much red tape kept us from really doing some good, killing the towel heads that needed to be killed and restoring order. Which is why I'm thinking of taking a job that was offered to me at the Department of Defense. I'd be in DC, which is super close to New York."
