"None of my friends are tall enough." It was a completely awful excuse and she well knew it, but it was the only thing that her mind came up with just then. Though Missy would be damned if she was just going to let Nikita have the last word. If she wanted to bring up things from that conversation then Missy was every bit as capable. I am. It doesn't hurt to do it. It doesn't. "Besides," she tried to get a drawl into her voice instead of letting her voice crack like it so desperately wanted to. "I thought you loved how I look in this?" Her fingers slid down to tug at one of the slight frills, making the skirt wave. "Why would I ever get rid of something that seems to have such an effect on you? Advantages always have to be acted on." I sound like a bloody robot reciting the things that dad used to say to me. Not that he would have said any of that to her in this situation. Oh no, in this situation he would have taken her by the ear and given her a good shake and talking to until she realized that the reason why all of this was such a problem was very simply because Nikita was a vampire and she was a vampire hunter. No matter how many times Missy thought that it would never be enough because it did not seem to be enough to erase all of those thoughts from her mind.
Missy wished that she could take a step back to counter the one that Nikita had taken towards her, but the wall made that rather impossible. And she was trying to keep her eyes up above the vampire's neckline, but it was hard when she crossed her arms like that. "If you didn't want something you'd leave me alone." Was a time, not even a handful of days ago, when Missy would have believed that reason was solely because Nikita wanted her very much done. With the added bonus of that event leaving Kristen without a guardian. She had no doubt that Nikita would love to add a second daughter in with the first that she had picked up after poor Silvia's parents had been killed. Her body did tense up at the mention of what her opinion of Jadyn was. No matter what she said or did there was no reason, none, for Nikita to make even the vaguest of threats towards her. Had she not been through enough already with the vampire attack? Yes, she had been, and Missy did not want to see anything else happen to her. Especially not because of her. Not after she had promised that she would keep her safe. "Didn't we already discuss what I would do if you hurt her? It wouldn't be pleasant for you, Nikita, you don't want to go through that." She held her hand up, mimicking the shape of a gun. "I have really good aim." It was a hollow threat and lacked the conviction that she was normally capable of. It was nearly impossible to threaten Nikita when she was fully aware of the fact that Missy had... not feelings. No, no she did not have feelings for the vampire. She decidedly did not.
