Beauty and Rage (Leverage Fan Fiction)

20. All The Things My Eyes Have Seen The Best By Far Is You

"I told you to put on that damn sling before we left."

"I told you I wasn't wearing that stupid thing."

"You're gonna drive me crazy, Andy."

"I look forward to it."

"The doctor gave it to you for a freaking reason! You're suppose to be wearing it! You haven't worn it once since we got home from Jersey!"

"I don't need the damn thing, Eliot! Stop complaining about it or I'm gonna kick your ass!"

"You make me crazy, woman. I swear."

Eliot angrily pulled a chair out for Andy and the grabbed himself a chair from another table to put between Andy and Sophie.

"We could hear you two before you even got into the Pub." Nate said from across the table.

"She's being hardheaded." Eliot grumbled.

"Get me a drink, Eliot." Andy put her hand on his knee and leaned over towards him, her eyes lingering on his a little longer than a few seconds.

Eliot stood up and muttered curse words as he left the table.

"How're you feeling, Andy?" Parker asked her little sister.

"I'm okay. Kinda liking how I'm pissing Grumpy off though." She grinned a little in reply, glancing over her shoulder to Eliot. He stood at the bar. At that moment, he happened to look over his shoulder and he met her gaze.

Andy winked at him, causing Eliot to roll his eyes.

"Does he know you're playing with him?" Sophie asked a little hesitantly. "That could be a dangerous game."

"Oh he knows."

Eliot returned a minute later with two drinks and placed one in front of Andy.

"Thanks, doll."

"Don't call me that." He grunted.

"Are those bruises?" Parker grabbed Eliot's wrist and tried to examine the marks she saw but he yanked his arm away from her.

"Quit it, Parker!"

Andy snickered from her seat, biting at her straw as she used her right hand to hold her glass.

"What are you laughing about?" Hardison asked Andy.

"The bruises. They aren't all I put on him."

There was a moment of silence and then Nate stood up to go to the bar and Sophie rubbed her eyes. Hardison leaned back in his chair and put a hand over his face while Parker sat there, still confused.

"Keep that in your bed, please." Sophie placed her hand on Eliot's shoulder before she went to join Nate.

"I told you she was rough." Hardison shook his head.

"I know that now."

"Hey, Eliot, baby." Andy put her drink down and looked over to him with soft, hazel colored eyes. "I want a pizza."

"We just passed, like, eight pizza places on the way here."

"Angela's sounds good."

Eliot sighed through his nose, rubbing his eyes.

"Come on." He stood up and started to pull Andy to her feet but she shook her head.

"I wanna stay here. You go get the pizza."

"Andy—,"

"You can take me to the back, please." She gave him a big smile and held her arms out for him.
