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

Chapter 10 - Call Me A Fan Boy

Elliot's eyes widen almost as much as Ajay's had when she learned about how much ecstasy she had consumed, "Never tried this before?" He was a little worried that maybe he had given her too much. "Just act cool." He, himself, had taken a ride on the 'x-press' too many times to count. The more he thought about their predicament the more he realized that it wasn't really a predicament that they were in.

"This is going to be a fun night." He touched the tip of her nose with his index finger, "T minus ten minutes until total euphoria. Just relax and enjoy the ride with your tour guide Elliot Witt." He watched her pull her face away and giggle at him. He couldn't only smile at how cute she was as she giggled.

"Ajay. Can I make a confession to you?" He was almost fumbling his words again but with the drugs in his system it was now or never to make his confession. He didn't give her any time to answer as he continued to talk, "I knew who you were when I saw you at the bar." He flashed her a smile before he continued, "I have been following your career with Apex for a while now." She just sat there and let him talk as she watched him.

He looked down at the bar top because he was kind of afraid to look into her eyes. He didn't want to ruin whatever moment they were having but he wanted to be straightforward and honest with her. "Your win the other night... Certified badass." He sighed, "I started following your career before it was televised. Call me a fan boy I guess." He put his finger on the bar top and used it to swirl around small beads of split liquor.

"I don't know why I am telling you all of this. I guess when I saw you the other night I just couldn't believe it was really you." He sighed again, "Hashtag stalker status over here." He laughed for no reason at all. Sometimes he got himself into uncomfortable situations by talking entirely too much. He desperately wanted to stop talking but he couldn't seem to stop.

He knew he was bordering the line of 'uncomfortable situation' the more that he spoke, "But there's more Ajay." He left a long silent pause between them. "I have to leave for a business trip very soon and I... I... I... won't be able to see you for a while." He felt sad and awkward that he blurted out so much personal information to her all at once.

"Elliot..." She trailed off as she thought about what she wanted to say to him. She was still trying to digest all of the information that he had just given her. She felt her body drifting into an oddly soothing feeling that she had never experienced before. It hadn't even been five minutes since she ingested the ecstasy. "Or maybe it had been longer than five minutes and she had lost track of time."

She sat awkwardly still for a moment. "Elliot..." She repeated herself like she forgot what she was going to say. "That be da sweetest ting that anyone ever said to mi. I'm truly honored and flattered." Her voice was filled with exuberance as she spoke to him. "Thank yuh for seekin mi out last night." She touched his hand for a moment and then drew circles in the split liquor with him.

As the soothing feeling overtook her body she began to giggle at the, almost, mind numbing feeling. She stared down at their fingers on the bar top. She sensed sadness in his voice when he explained himself to her. She wanted to hug him and kiss him and comfort him. She wanted to reassure him that everything would be okay. Her finger gently nudged his and his finger nudged hers back.

Ajay smiled as she stood up. As soon as she stood up her body met the floor with a THUD. Apparently that mind numbing feeling was also a body numbing feeling. Elliot looked up and quickly hopped over the bar. "Ajay!" He stopped in his tracks when he found Ajay naked, laying on the floor. Elliot was at a loss for words as he stared at her body. He grew hard again as he took in every inch of her with his eyes.

Elliot got down on his knees and hovered over her. He placed a hand to either side of her head and a knee to either side of her legs. "Ajay, are you okay?" His voice was low and almost seductive as he looked down at her. When Ajay didn't answer right away Elliot began panic internally. "Fuck! Did I give her too much? Is she dead? Please don't slap me."
