PHOEBE POV:
"So Alicia, if that's all you had to talk about, I really need to take off. I am super hungry and still need to cook. Plus I have to prepare myself for tomorrow and the upcoming days."
"Why don't you stay for the night then? I've missed you, and I'll make one of your favourite dishes." If Alicia was trying to bribe me with food, it was most certainly working as I started considering her offer. Not to mention I was also missing spending time with them.
However, Federick's smirking in the corner reminded me why I wanted to get the hell out of there. "I really wish I could Ali, but I can't, sorry." Not wanting to be questioned any longer, I announced my decision.
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
Saved by the ring of my cell phone the moment Alicia was about to utter something in an attempt to convince me, I removed my phone from my pocket and saw Talon's face flashing on my screen, causing a smile to immediately crept up on my face.
"Who got you all smiley all of a sudden?" Alicia curiously inquired.
"Talon." I dismissively responded and made my way to the couch to answer his call.
"What do you want Talon?"
Noticing Alicia softly ask "What's wrong?" from my peripheral vision, I let Talon know I was at Alicia's and he was going to be placed on hold for a second.
"I'm supposedly angry at him so he would learn his lesson and not do whatever Xylan ask him to."
"Oh, ok .... Go on then. The others and I are just going to be around, trying not to listen in your conversation."
"Yeah right!" Stretching my words and giving her a look of disbelief, "Like that's ever going to happen. But I'll take my chances, so out, all of you. And Ali, since Talon is going to take all my time I will be staying for dinner; call me when dinner is ready, please."
Turning my back on them, I continued my task of making Talon's life miserable, aware Alicia and company will never leave me alone. Maybe Federick will since he is not welcome here.
"So Talon, where were we?"
"Yeah right, you and your hundred faults."
"Go on tell me what you want."
"Suck it up, big boy...."
"Well, you deserve it..."
"No, do it yourself!" What did Talon think, I work for him or something, trying to order me around and all.
"When did you ever see me having emotions, Tal."
"Not taking the chance."
"What would you be ready to do to gain my forgiveness?"
