Her One Weakness...

ICECREAM CURES EVERYTHING

"Whoa Neo! Can we lighten up a bit?" Roman asked imploring, clearly confused with my rotten mood.

I roll my eyes and stare out the car window. To be perfectly honest even I'm not entirely sure on why I feel like this. I mean obviously it was caused by that bitch's blood on my boots, but I bought new ones so why am I so pissed?

Is it because she called me a mute? Unlikely. I can take that punch to the gut any day. I have a good set of chic abs! But there is nothing else that she did. Well, except she practically drooled over Roman, but that wouldn't be it at all... It's not like I'm interested in him... Strictly professional.

Surprisingly this saddens me.

Why? I sigh.

Well! Even if I was, no one decent would ever be able to handle me, let alone my baggage....

Despair floods through my blood stream and turns my body into dead weight, like how a towel gets heavy after being soaked. But I don't cry, my now murky brown eyes hold no emotion, no life I'm sure to anyone looking. Paying enough attention to those emotions enough to waste energy on crying a fricken river is a thing of the past. It's better to feel nothing at times like this. Beside like Roman said, I'm Miss Badass. And Miss Badass doesn't cry for anything. For that to happen I would have to have a weakness and that word isn't present in my personal dictionary. It can't be.

I can't even summon up a morbid grin at my childish reference of myself. Damn I must be depressed. God dammit! I ate all the ice-cream in the fridge at home last night; don't judge, I got the midnight munchies..., and we didn't even buy it!

Scowling I turn to face the front windscreen again. Now my foul mood is back and ready to kill...

This time I know exactly what the reason is...

The most dangerous situation in which to be in the company of me...

I feel sorry for Roman...

ICECREAM WITHDRAWALS!!!

Roman's P.O.V

What is going on in that charming-wait no curious- head of hers?

I can't decipher what is causing all the different emotions flickering between different emotions like those overly cheerful Christmas. Except her Christmas lights are switching confusion, anger, depression and one of my favourites; so-downright-murderous-must-kill-them-all!!!!

I barely suppress the laughter that erupts with that thought. That expression on such an innocent looking person is amusing as hell and somewhat... Charming? Meh my sadistic side is showing. That's what I like about her being my coworker. As demonstrated first on the security guards and later on that over zealous seeming woman; the Neominator ain't afraid to dish out the pain!

I nearly crack up again this doesn't go by unnoticed. Whirling to face me, she raises that defiant arched eyebrow over irritated brown and pink eyes.

What are you snickering about?! Seemed to be etched into her face like a tattoo, so easily understood it was as if she'd spoken out loud.

"Oh nothing Icecream, don't worry about it."

Her bicolored eyes become deeper in hue with the accusatory glare. Shoot she's guessed that I'm laughing at her and of course she hates thatshe huffs before turning to burn holes into my car window.

Well we can't have that! This car is my child!

Taking a right I head towards a place I visit often as my chilling out place. Ahhhh the pun.

"Hey Neo..." I address the now confused accomplice.

But then she spots the sign and a genuinely joyful smile that's almost child like spreads across her face as delightfully as peanut butter on hot toast.

My breath hitches. Perhaps she is a little charming...

Snapping myself out of my daze I let that same joy overtake me.

"Want to get some icecream?"

Her nod represents something like a jackhammer and before I can blink she's out the door and entering the parlour. When I finally catch up she's already ordered a three scope Neapolitan (of course!) cone. I buy my banana split and we sit down to dig in.

All I can say is the pure bliss and delight that bloomed across her features as she devoured that Icecream was solid proof that there was more to Neo then just a cold assassin behind the usual mask she wears.

And I think I would love to get to know her a little.....
