WHO: Zoe & Greed WHEN: Immortals and Strippers AU WHERE: Gram's apartment, beach, hotel WHAT: Sand, keys, CPR, and fluffy robes and talks WARNING: None Note: The log reads backwards
"I wanna talk to her..." he said softly. The big lug missed her and wanted to cuddle her. He wanted her here with him, not dancing in front of drooling dogs. He wanted her thinking about him.

We've been gone for what.. four hours? It's still daylight out, she doesn't have a REASON to worry." she mussed his hair and said, "They must have a computer downstairs we can use and a phone. Can google the strip joint and call her there, tell them its an emergency and get her on the phone."

The only time he'd seen a crack in her exterior was when Envy was getting knife happy. But she had shown some concern. And in that moment he missed her.

But thoughts, deep stuff, she runs from it. You want it, then you work for it. And its hard work. You gotta keep trying, might take years. You don't give up. That's a relationship."

He sounded almost obsessive about it, his hand clenching at the same time. He really wanted more. The things Zoe talked about that she had with Digger...he wanted those things, which may have been why he made fun of it to her so much. It was his way of diminishing it to make himself feel better.

You're not the first rich guy to propose to her you know. She's had people ask before, with more money and she's always said no, she's never thought of marriage but she's marrying you. You wanna feel sorry for yourself and pick fights with her questioning her feelings, then maybe you don't want to get married and that's your own problem."

He was the fun ride and he was persistent. "Take out sex. Take out Paris. Take out spending money. She wouldn't have chosen me." He was't giving Evie the credit, but Zoe's holes from earlier were still sticking in place. It was going to take more than a reassuring talk to convince him.

Evie is... she's always been that fantasy for guys. Everyone looks at her and thinks about her. And men can feast on her with their eyes but you know, she picked you out of all of them. You got exclusive rights to do much more than see. Be honored and proud of that."
On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 9:50 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: "I try. You know I don't sell this apartment there is no Paris." In that moment Greed was worried. If he didn't give Evie Paris or sex what was there? She'd leave him and flipped a switch inside that made him panic. "I dont want other men to fantasize or see her. They'll still feast on her with their eyes and shes mine now."1

That's kinda how a conversation works you know." she frowned, "You don't have to keep spending you know.. and if you let Evie still strip.. I mean she makes bank. And none of the guys get to touch her. It's not something I'd do but she's really good at it. One time a guy bought her a car as a tip but she doesn't drive so.."

I think you should have a bit more confidence in your skills. Art skills that is. And if you don't, you know they offer a lot of art classes in the city. They even have some in the park."

In fact, for how arrogant he was, he kinda had low self esteem..
On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 7:37 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: "You should hate me. I destroy people." Those thick lashes of his falling over his cheeks. She made him feel a once of good by admitting she didn't hate him, and he believed her. He wanted more of that.

Honestly, I forget most of the time you're a sin. I just see you. Annoying. Asshole. You." but she smiled to show she didn't mean it in a cruel way, she was saying she just saw him. She fought with him and talked with him as a person, not a Sin. She hated him and liked him for way more than his sin.

On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 9:14 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: "I'm not soft or gentle about anything." Unless he was pretending to get something he wanted. Her insistence still did nothing to fill that hole that she'd jabbed in him. Greed would never deserve those things.
On Nov 3, 2015 12:09 AM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote: She sighed again, "That's Evie.. she's been like that since our parents died. She doesn't let anyone in but you know, with time you might get her to open up to you. She needs a soft but persistent touch. She'd never had a guy around long enough for anyone to get a shot. But you're marrying her. So you got a lifetime." she shoved the tissue in his hand and said, "The sex isn't bad and the relationship isn't anywhere close to perfect. It's just different from yours. You can hate me for it if it makes you feel better."
On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 9:06 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote: "She doesnt let me in you know. Even when I want to." Greed didn't have people that let him talk or be anything else. He dismissed her tissues, it just made him feel like a baby. "Out of the two of us I guess you are the one with the more perfect relationship, bad sex and all. And I hate you for it." Her reassurance wasn't mending the bandaid she'd just ripped off. Evie wouldn't even worry about him when he didn't pick up his phone. Greed was just flip flopping like a fish out of water. He didn't know what would make him feel better. He was sufficating again like when he was in the water. Only this time he wasn't coming up for air and he he hated feeling so shit.

She sighed and pulled a tissue from the kleenex box on the nightstand and held it out to him, "I really doubt your Sin has much to do with it.. I've met a lot of guys that are just.. like that. It's a personality thing." she wasn't sure what to do or say but was just honest in the end, "Well I'm glad she makes you feel good in non-sex ways. I'm.. I'm happy you two have each other and I'm sorry that what I said made you upset. I'm not you and I'm not her so I don't know what your guys relationship is actually like, only you two know that."

And now he was leaking from his eyes woth that horrible feeling of self-destruction and worthlessness. "It's not my fault I'm this thing!" As if he could strip himself of his sin. "It's not just her exterior." Hed seen something in her eyes that made him feel squishy inside. But Evie closed him off in some ways to seeing much else sometimes. "She made me feel good in ways that aren't sex you know. I didn't want anyone else to have her." But he didn't know anymore now, because Zoe had poked holes in it and his confidence in himself was slipping. Why would Evie want that? Why would anyone?
On Nov 2, 2015 11:41 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote: Zoe's face clouded with confusion and then anger and hurt. She sat up and said, "Are you describing yourself or my sister? Because from what I know, YOU wanted HER. You chased after her. You wanted her not for her mind or personality but her BODY. You wanted a great fuck and you got it. You think I don't know why you proposed to her? She told me you wanted her to quit stripping and she said not till she was married and suddenly you're popping the question. That's what she is to you, a seductive exterior, an empty piece of candy you couldn't be bothered to get to know. She does love you. She's a flake and totally self involved and irresponsible but she does love you and I dunno why. You're such a self obsessed drama queen that you can't even see that the biggest complaints you have right now are all shit that YOU'RE doing too." it was clear from her tone and her actions that he was not a seductive exterior or candy to her. She saw him, all the ugly parts in him too and she was still sitting there instead of running away, she wasn't scared to deal with it and she was making him deal with it too.

He wanted to strangle her. She made him so volatile. Made him question this perfect thing he had and taint it. That's all he was? Just this piece of meat. And hed drove out here to bait her for the same attention to make her admit she was jealous. Now he had it, her bitterness and jealousy all in his face and it just made him feel worse! Because she made it seem that while what she had with Digger wasn't perfect that it was better than what he had with Evie and it upset him.
"That's all I am to any of you...." and he sounded so crushed. "Just this seductive exterior with nothing else inside. An empty piece of candy that makes you sick at the end. Something destructive. Something you grow to hate." And at that moment he didn't feel worthy of ever being loved because thats all it was, his delusional fantasy.

Have you ever ASKED her out to dinner even? Honestly I think you two deserve each other. Everything is always about feeling good. Love by the way isn't always great. Love hurts and its painful sometimes and relationships are hard work. You guys and your perfect relationship with perfect sex and perfect wedding and perfect moving to a new country because it's fabulous.." okay maybe she was a little bitter but said, "I hope for your guys sake it all stays happy and perfect but... I dont know, it just seems like... like... eating low fat chocolate cake cause you can have the whole thing instead of full fat delicious pure chocolate cake cause you can only have a slice."

He was a child stamping his foot because he'd believed something so faithfully and she was breaking it. The fantasy of a myth or the tainted reality of something he wasn't allowed to have. She made him question his own importance to her sister or what they did with their time. That's all Greed was to anyone. A machine. A sex machine and nothing else. No one had ever made him believe he was anything else until now.

I know you and my sister go at it like animals but is that all you do? Digger and I went to the movies on Friday, we go for walks in the park, out to dinner...

Her phone was gone, she didn't know Digger's number by heart, her grandma was out with her boyfriend and Evie never looked at her phone when she was working.

Unlike some people, it takes time to get to know me. I'm fun and open. If I like the person I'm with." and she pointedly looked at him with a quirk of her brow meaning she did not like him. "And you're the most annoying, infuriating, asshole I've ever met, human, dog, cat, or immortal."

Both girls could have been identical except their mannerisms couldn't be more different. He looked up from the photo and to her. "Why are you so reserved? You realize you are the most irritating human being I've ever met?" He was insulting her yes, but he wanted to see more of that rise come out of her. It sparked his curiosity. It gave him something to toy with, a game he could actually play. He studied her now and would look back at the photo and then look her over again.

I couldn't hear you?" she cupped a hand around her ear as if she was straining to hear, "I think this is the first time you've ever shut up." the framed picture he was looking at was a picture of the twins when they were around 18. Evie was easy to spot with lipstick and a sassy look, hand through her thick long hair. Zoe was sitting on the ground hugging her knees, not as easy with the camera on her, her hair a bit longer but still a bob, face free of makeup so her freckles were shining and she wore a loose yellow sweater that hung off one shoulder. One wouldn't need to ask who was who, the twins were very different.

He busied himself with a photograph on the sode table in a gold frame. One of her grandmother's no doubt, but Greed was eyeballing the frame a.d not what was in it. Not carefully at least.

Punching you a few times?" since he seemed bent on ignoring her pleas of leaving and he looked like such a smug bastard, she did something she wasn't entirely proud of. "Oh no, I know. Going to the beach might loosen me up." and she looked at him pointedly, "The beach is soooo relaxing." since she knew that was one of his sore spots.

I'm not telling you!" she knew asking him about his sex life was pointless, he'd be too happy to share and said, "Look, in two weeks you're going to be married and in Paris, why can't you just avoid me till the wedding? We'll smile for pictures and then never see each other again, doesn't that sound nice?"

I have my own life and I don't need someone in my face all the time to distract me from myself. I don't expect <i>you</i> to understand." since from what she'd seen he was a lot like Evie, dependent on shiny things to keep ugly reality away.

"I'm guessing you're here to annoy my grandmother and she's not here. So there's the door, don't let it slam against your head repeatedly on the way out." because she knew he was not there to see her.

He was winding her up, and he actually liked it. "Whats the matter? It doesn't satisfy you?" He was poking at her so called relationship, which clearly still wasn't blowing her mind.

She didn't flinch or back up when he got in her personal space and didn't look at his finger or his mouth, but right in her eyes, "Get out of my face and apartment. And keep your <i>fat fingers</i> out of my chocolate." that last bit sounded dirty in a pervy way but it wasn't her intention.

He stuck his finger in for a big gop of brownie. "Mmmm" he hummed once he stuck his own finger into his mouth. Only Greed sounded naughty, as he licked that finger clean.

She narrowed her eyes the second she saw him and slowly slid her finger out of her mouth, ending it with a pop. "Most people <i>knock</i>. And no, I don't give people who break into my home a taste." she didn't know why but with Greed, just the sight of him was like a little kid pushing all the buttons in an elevator and each one was a hot button.

She was stirring the batter like it had personally offended her and there was already one tray in the oven and another cooling on the stove. She set it down only to dip her finger into a tub of frosting and hook out a big blob of it that she stuck right in her mouth.

He'd only met Sophia a few times, and for an old lady she was a fox. He was prepared to spin her a story in hopes to get a meal out of her before he left.
Then he smelled brownies. Oh, he was definitely taking those home. The door was unlocked so he slid in, only Sophia wasn't there.

She was going to get them herself but was asked to come in to work and since she and Greed still weren't married, she was still stripping and decided to go after kissing and pouting and asking Greed to please collect her stuff for her. Their grandmother, Sophia, was out with her younger boyfriend, but Zoe was home. She smelled like brownies because she was baking which meant she was stressed. She wore a comfy grey sleeved shirt and stirred the batter so aggressively, tiny flecks got on her cheek and nose.
