Hotter then revenge

Niki-in her eyes

I couldn't hide the shock in my eyes from the girl in front of the bar. I'd watched death over an hour slam that drink after drink and mumbled to herself and now everything made sense. I really didn't have any words. I couldn't offer comfort I didn't know, but I'm pretty sure I know who it was about, Brandon I've been sleeping with him for a while which makes me wonder who was there first it doesn't matter the guy was trash but clearly, he had done a number on her pulled my shoulders back and stood straight  I could see the struggling eyes. She really didn't wanna be speaking to me and trying to appear confident by looking bored at the interaction and how deeply and decided to talk through it anyway.

What's your name? I tried hesitantly. it doesn't even matter. She replied this whole thing is stupid. She picked up her stuff and tapped the bar twice with her knuckles. I'm sorry her voice was shaky. It's not Your fault. I just had to see what was worth breaking us for. mist covered her eyes and she looked like she was going to cry my heart squeezed in my chest. Dame, I knew this wasn't my fault but it sure felt like it. She looked like life had been beating her down for a while don't get me wrong she was beautiful but her pale green eyes looked tired she turned away and walked through the glass doors of the upscale bar.

The rest of the night dragged on. It felt like the longest two hours of my life. All I could think about was her eyes I couldn't get them out of my head. Walking to the bathroom I splashed cold water over my face. Taking a few deep breaths I looked at the mirror. Trying to see what she did I was confident in the way I looked but I hated the reason I was comparing myself to her.  I hated that she was comparing herself to me I didn't know her but knew her pain. Having been through something similar years ago remember the heartache that followed.  I set my jaw and made a decision I was gonna find her.

The bitter cold brushed along my cheeks as I walked along the pavement. It was late and I was tired but the decision I made cemented in my mind. My roommate was gonna hate me but I was gonna wake her ass up when got home. She worked as a childcare practitioner so she hated being woken up. I walk through the door to a dark and silent house. It was a little rundown I mean let's face it the bartender and her roommate who works in childcare are hardly gonna be living in luxury. But it was warm and homey books scattered on the coffee table and sofa. Lexie the roommate in question read everything she could get her hands on. However, she was oddly secretive about what she was reading about. Always teased me by saying she was reading porn. Ironically I in fact read one of her books last year. And I can confirm it is indeed porn.

I wandered through the house non to quiet because I going to be waking Lexi up anyway. Opening the fridge I found the leftover chilli Lexi had prepared earlier and zapped it in the microwave. Okay now I'm going to have to do this carefully while I wait for my food to heat up I flicked on the kettle and prepared her favourite coffee. This should sweeten her up a little maybe she wont stab me with the first thing she finds for waking her up. I walked into her room and shook her very carefully whispering her name "Lex honey I need you to wake up." she snorted in her sleep "what" her response was barley coherent it was barley response she turned over and cradled the pillow next to her so I shook her again "come on Lex I need your help" "go away  I don't subscribe to this cruel means of torture" she mumbled "really Lex is that not a tad bit dramatic" id like to see you deal with four-year-olds all-day and not think being woken up is torture." I smirked at her. "honestly I deal with drunk people so its close enough. 

She glared at me. And instantly put my hands up predicting what was coming next. She hurled a pillow at my face and hit me with perfect precision jumping off her bed she beat me with another of her pillows I couldn't help it I burst out laughing and tackled her to the bed "calm down Lex. Its a emergency". I could barley get the words out through my laughter. But eventually after an offer of fresh coffee she resided and stopped attacking me.

" alright what do you need" she said sipping her piping hot coffee honestly I swear the girl had the guts to steal for that not burn going down. Taking a deep breath resolved not to turn back I said three words
