She eyes me daggers. I stroke my huge belly, the evidence of his betrayal of her as she sees it. I can smell it all over her, his ‘Cordy‘, and I know he must too: desire, and now jealousy. I smile acid sweet, and honey my voice, "He’ll never change you know."
She looks away refusing to be drawn.
"Liam-" I almost stop at her look of incomprehension, she didn’t know his name? "was a terrible one for the ladies. Whoring his nights away, when he wasn’t starting a drunken brawl."
I see her bite back a retort. I imagine it was about the ‘whore’ part, and at my expense, but we both know it would have been wasted on me.
"Did he ever tell you about his father?" I continue. She’s trying to fight her curiosity, looking at the wall, pretending not to listen. "He never could please him, so he lived down to the worst of his expectations. Then the Master, another authority figure to rail against. Of course then his insatiable thirst was for blood, not liquor, hmmm" I affect a dreamy smile, "seems the plain old lust for sex never leaves him though."
There are hot red patches on her cheeks as she stalks over jabbing a finger at me. Not too close pretty girl.
"Angel’s different, he’s a warrior, a champion-"
I laugh at her spluttering argument.
"Cordelia?"
The Englishman is in the doorway.
"Would you like a break? I can sit with Darla."
She stands over me shaking, glaring furiously for a moment, then storms out of the room. He sits in her recently vacated chair, never taking those watchful blue eyes off me. Another one who reeks of want for my dear boy. Another one for me to toy with while we wait.
