Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 8 - Apartment 1111

Besides the security detail, the HQ lobby was basically empty. The only light that was visible came from the computer monitors at the security desk. The lobby was otherwise pretty eerie when Ajay exited the elevator. She made it halfway through the lobby before her phone buzzed. She nearly tripped when she turned on the screen and almost blinded herself in the process. She fumbled her phone in the air and caught it twice before almost dropping it completely. After getting herself under control, she checked her phone.

She found a reply from the number that she had just messaged. It was an address and nothing more. The mysterious man was now sending her a mysterious address. A smile formed upon her lips as Ajay clicked on the address and brought up a map that was accompanied by set of directions. She was delighted to see that the address was less than five minutes away; well within walking distance.

Ajay exited the building only to find that rain was now falling in thick sheets. She decided that walking was no longer an option, but it never really was an option to begin with, because she loved the rain. She pulled her hood up over her head and took off running into the cold, wet weather. She followed the directions on her phone which led her to a tall building, filled with luxury apartments; it wasn't too far away from HQ at all. She ran inside the building, immediately spotted the elevator, and ran in to find an attendant. Before she could speak, the elevator started to whisk her all the way up to the top floor.

The door of apartment 1111 was where she found herself pacing for almost five minutes. She wasn't sure if she should even go in or if she should just leave. She pulled her hood off of her head and started rifling through her backpack. She pulled out her bottle of pills; they always seemed to give her enough courage to do anything that she was afraid of doing. Just as she began to open the pill bottle, the apartment door swung open, with the stranger front and center. The bottle fell to the floor and pills rained down like confetti.

The only thing left in her hand was the cap to the bottle as Ajay stood in front of the stranger, almost paralyzed. She watched him lean down and pick up the bottle. Then he began to pick up all of the pills, quickly filling the bottle back to its previous stock. She watched him as he handed her the bottle, "Do you care to share?" He was smirking at her. The same smirk that he gave her the previous night, right before he stuck his face between her thighs and brought her to her knees.

She carefully reached for the bottle and pulled two pills out, pausing for a second before placing both of the pills into her own mouth. The smirk on the face of the stranger was now fading as he continued to watch. She managed to swallow one pill as she moved closer to him while closing the pill bottle and the small gap between them. She ran her fingers through his hair, moving loose strands of brown from his face, over his head. His hair still felt soft between her fingers; a feeling that she had not yet forgotten.

After briefly admiring his hair, she took a handful of it and used it to pull him closer. His lips, her lips, their lips. She parted her lips and was greeted by his tongue. She pressed her tongue into his mouth and released the remaining pill into his mouth. She wasn't quite sure why she did what she did, but she did it, and it was done. She pulled her face back just enough to watch him swallow the pill. She watched a smile form upon his lips as she played with his hair and gazed into his eyes.

"Elliott. My Name is Elliott." He slid his hands down her waist and brought his lips back to hers. He kissed her so softly that she didn't even realize he was kissing her until he was pulling his lips away. He stood in front of her wearing a pair of long, dark grey running shorts and a black tank top. She wondered if he was wearing any underwear this time, though it didn't bother her if he wasn't. He took a step back and motioned for her to come inside while he held the door open. Ajay stepped inside the spacious apartment suite.
