WHO: Zoe & Greed
WHEN: December 5 [Backdated]
WHERE: Zoe and Greed's office, Madison House
WHAT: Trying to find their footing and stark realizations
WARNING: None
Note: The log reads backwards
She wanted to make him feel safe. That it was okay to feel things and be vulnerable because she wasn't going to use it against him or take advantage of it. She wanted him to remember that he didn't have to force her to do anything (like come to him or anything) because, well, she was his. She wanted to be his. And he'd feel it in her kiss, it wasn't insane but it was intense because it had so much love in it.

She knew how to nurture that need without manipulating him. Greed was vulnerable right now but Zoe didn't exploit that. She gave in, but didn't lose herself. Greed cupped her face, deepening their kiss.

Other girls would have tried to get Greed to go to the next level but Zoe was perfectly content with what they were doing. His kisses were like being wrapped up in the warmest fuzziest blanket and she didn't need anything else. While his kisses were needy, hers were slow and loving. She was in no rush, she wasn't going anywhere and they had all weekend if they wanted.

It has been a while since they kissed to just enjoy it, not filtered with all the aggression and lust. It was needy in the best of ways. Greed wanted closeness, he wanted to feel that heaven in all the small ways she'd showed him could be the most satisfying.

The fact that they could be horny and crazy right now but weren't meant a lot. She was a little hesitant to kiss him back but did, a little taken aback by his honeyed kiss and willing and wanting to just simmer in it.

He leaned up to look at her again, giving her a sweet kiss on the lips this time. He needed to taste her, to talk to her in his language.

Zoe closed her eyes and squeezed him again when he kissed her neck. She felt an ache in her, not realizing how much she'd missed this. Where it wasn't sexual, where it was just warmth and heart and not about the body.

His heart rate died down to a soft hum. He snuggled his face into the crook of her neck. He kissed her again, placing little flutters from his lips in various places. He wasn't in a sexual mood still, he was just looking for warmth.

The house didn't seem so cold anymore, she was warming up nicely in Greed's embrace and he was like a teddy bear space heater. For once he wasn't trying to make her come to him or take charge or anything, he was just needing her and taking what he needed and being wonderfully him about it. It felt more like them instead of him trying to wedge them into what his Sin thought should be happening.

He hugged her for a long time, he just wanted to keep feeling her skin against him. It was warm, inviting, it made him stop freaking out. He kissed her neck, giving her a softer snuggle.

She was gonna ask what was wrong but he figured it out and she didn't even have time to blush as he tossed her bra aside and had her wrapped up in his arms again. Alright, now they were both topless with jeans but he seemed a little calmer. She slowly put her arms back around him for the umpteenth time that night and she'd do it for as many times as he needed but right now this... this was nice.

It still wasn't enough. Greed let her go with an exasperated sigh. He looked at her bra and quickly went to relieve her of it. Once that was gone, he slapped her to his chest for that hug. Now it felt better. It felt warmer.

The surprises didn't stop when he didn't seem like he wanted sex... he just wanted to be closer. He hadn't done this in a long long time. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him close, she was going to get bruises tonight she had a feeling.

The cami didn't stay on her long either as he pulled it off. It seemed as if he was going for sexual gratification but there was no lust in his eyes. He just wanted a little more closeness than what was provided through clothes. He wanted to feel the warmth of her skin. Greed hugged her again, tightly as he had before.

Oh.. he was taking off his clothes.. okay.. annnnd now he was working on her shirt. She was surprised but went with it, he was in that weird state of being where the best thing to do was to let him find his own way because he had a specific... thing in his mind. Her loose button up shirt when taken off revealed a lacy cami underneath that was a touch darker than her own skin tone with a little bow in the front.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 9:38 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
If she had closed her eyes he would have screamed for her to keep them open. He was internally screaming at her right now because he could drown in her eyes and he was perfectly okay with that.
Greed continued this staring contest as he unzipped his leather hoodie. He peeled it off and then took off his tank. He moved to her unbutton her shirt. He wasn't ripping her clothes off, but he was in an insane moment,
He needed to suck in every moment. Bask in it instead of getting through it so fast thst he was left unsatisfied.
She just stared back, really unsure now of what was happening but he was so intense she couldn't look away. She didn't move or flinch when he touched her face, she let him do what he wanted, what he needed.

He leaned in but he didnt swallow her face. He just kept staring, like he was branding her face into his mind. Her eyes were so succulent. God he wanted to fuck those eyes.
He stared at her a moment longer, reaching out to touch her face. That was one thing she taught him that hadn't gone anywhere. Those feather touches.
She loosened her arms around his neck when he let let her breathe but kept them there. She wanted him to process in his own time and space so didn't say anything, just stared back, waiting to see what he needed.

He needed more from her though. Hugging felt good but it didn't kill the pain. When he finally let up so he could look at her, he just stared a hole in her head.
On Dec 5, 2014 11:28 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
He was holding her so tight she couldn't say anything anymore so just held onto him, letting him take what he needed. That was the main difference between her and Lust and his floozies, he didn't need to trick her or manipulate her into anything. She willingly let him take because she was giving it to him.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed crushed her tighter, he wanted to squeeze the breath right out of her. Maybe then he could crush out the pain. She said the good broug h4 heaven. He needed a piece of heaven right now.

He took her by surprise and her eyes went wide as he crushed her in his grip but after a moment, her arms went around his neck and she held onto him tight. Emotion was burning her throat as she tried to find the right words, "If you don't... that's okay. I don't.. I don't want you to drive yourself nuts over it. Maybe..." she didn't finish her thought but it was obvious what she was suggesting, maybe he wasn't meant to find it again, maybe he had lost it for a reason.

Greed didn't wait for her, he just grabbed her in for tight hug. "I don't want to forget. But some things are new again. It's like I know know I had it at one time, but I'm trying to get it again." His voice choked abd he gripped her even tighter.
She let him go when he sat up and she looked up at him from the floor. When he gestured for her to join him, she got up and sat next to him on the sofa, not really sure what he was doing..

He simmered down for a minute. If course it wasn't enough for him and he sat up, looking like a pitiful, adorable mess that he was. He waved for her to join him. He wanted a little more.

She looked at him softly, "You never have to ask for a hug..." she wrapped her arms around his neck from her spot on the floor since she didn't want to invade his space too much. She gave him a squeeze and kissed his frog tattoo, still holding on.

Those cloudy, wet blue eyes looked at her with another sniffle. "Can I have a hug?" He asked in a pathetic voice. He may not have known what to do with those before, be he remembered they made him feel good.

"You are a Sin.." she couldn't help it and wiped a hand over his cheek, giving him that much touch even if he didn't want it. "But you also have human in you.. and the human part feels both bad and good. When it's bad, it's awful but when it's good... it's beautiful." and it hurt that he didn't seem to feel any of the good anymore but he had at one point.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 4:49 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
He had a strong reaction to pain and hurt because it wasn't what he was wired for. Greed was about pleasure, success and feeling high. It wasn't about being sad. He nuzzled his cheek into the cushion. He wasn't alone, but there was nothing good right now to take it away. So his face just cringed into a little pouty, teary mess.

She didn't seem convinced that he loved it but said, "Sometimes I don't know what to do with it either... and I haven't lived as long as you have but.... I've never had this before either." yes her grandmother/mother had loved her and she'd been in relationships but what she had with Greed was so profound that she had never felt anything even close to it. She was just as lost as he was sometimes.

"I do love it, I just don't know what to do with all this sometimes," he waved a hand around indicating the heaviness on his chest. "I've lived a long time, and I've never had this before." He didn't expect her to cut him slack, but she needed to understand that this was a few years out of centuries. It was a lot for even Greed to take in sometimes.
On Dec 5, 2014 7:30 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
That was a lot of emotional information being thrown at her and she reached out to stroke his hair and pulled her hand back, not knowing if he was upset with her or not. "You're always telling me you're a Sin and you love it. And I'm not... unhappy. I'm just... I just have to accept how things are and sometimes when we're in our bubble, I forget how things are and it takes me a little to settle with things again. You don't suck and your surprises don't suck and you didn't mess up... you just.. were being you. And I needed to remember that." she didn't know what to do about him feeling things, it stung cause he semeed accusing when he said it.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 4:08 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
His nose was full on red now. "Because I'm a Sin and that's all I'm ever gonna be." He sucked in another lump of snot. "You're not happy,I messed up and now my surprises suck about as much as I do. I can't even take you out of the country without ruining every fucking thing. You make me feel things that I dont know what to do with." Ever since he returned, this was a slow process to getting him to understand the things he'd learned before, because death and a hell reboot erased some of it.
On Dec 5, 2014 7:00 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"I won't go look at it until after you wake up so it'll still be a surprise a little bit." She folded her arms on the edge of the sofa and put her head on them to look at him, her face not too far from his. "Why does it hurt?"
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 3:58 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
She was the only that made him succumb to this kind of reaction, well aside from Lust. The difference in Zoe was she didn't do it out if spite, she was making a point. It was the only way for Greed to get the impact of what she was telling him. "Because its not a surprise anymore, and it hurts." It was more than lack of surprise, he was just overwhelmed.
On Dec 5, 2014 6:40 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She just sat there on the ground and listened to him, wiping at his face gently, "You were?" she looked over to the stairs, "It did? You did?" but she didn't get up, she stayed with him and asked softly, "Why doesn't it matter?"
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 3:18 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
He could feel the snot come his lungs and he struggled to stop crying by sucking it back. His crooked nose was a tad red, so he wiped those fat tears away, but the feeling didn't go away.
He cleared his throat to talk. "I was here all afternoon." He sounded so depressed, which part of it was all the heavy emotions she was projecting at him. "The wallpaper came in so I put it up." There was his surprise. It was spoiled already so why not tell her? "Doesn't matter anyway..." the disappointment was more obvious now.
On Dec 5, 2014 5:54 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She was going to until she narrowed her eyes and looked closer, "Are you....." she put a hand on his arm, was he crying? "Greed.. are you okay? Tell me what's wrong. This is more than just a dead zone crash..." she was seriously worried now.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 2:51 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Yeah, just go look..." his voice cracked, and without his consent his eyes were coated with tears. And he hated that. It wracked him with guilt and pain that he didn't think he was ready for.

She put a hand on the sofa and crouched on the floor next to it, "Okay.. do you want me to get it for you? Don't you think a nap would be better first?" she was worried about him as always.
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 2:07 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
It wasn't that he didn't want her to touch him or be near him. He just found that his excitement had died before they even got there, which resulted in the dead zone effects hitting him a little harder this time.
He opened his mouth to speak, but it came out a little forced. His throat was tense, ready to close up from either lack of air or the urge to cry. Zoe could make him cry, and this was just a huge wave of feelings he wasn't ready for right now.
So Greed just curled up, hugging the cushions. "There's something upstairs that came in the mail today." He wanted her still to look, he just didn't have the energy to get up now.

She noticed the lamps and the candles but she didn't get a chance to say anything as she helped Greed to the couch. "It's okay... you'll feel better after you sleep." she reached to touch him, give him a kiss or something but she stopped remembering his skin always felt prickly so touch wouldn't be wise. "You want me to get you a blanket?"
On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 1:53 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed spied the couch as soon as he opened up the door. He felt clammy and grumpy. His surprise would have to wait. Though if Zoe glanced around there were lamps and battery operated candles scattered throughout the house. Greed had painted and out up the wallpaper she had found. There was still a bit extra on the roll and empty paint cans off to the side.
Greed curled up on the couch. He literally felt like the air had been sucked right out of his lungs.
On Dec 5, 2014 2:37 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe touched his arm, "You feeling okay?" she knew the dead zones tended to make him crabby and tired. But she moved inside with him so they could at least get a tiny bit warmer inside than outside even tho they didn't have heat.

Greed wasn't okay. He'd been so excited he was ready to burst. Now her mood just put a downer on his own. He shuffled with his keys, looking down and rejected beforw he could even open the door.

The house usually brought Zoe so much joy but when they pulled up, it made her feel sad. She had really thought they were building a home here.... but turned out Greed was just playing house. She let go of his hand only to get out of the car and let Samson out. The dog loved the fresh cold air and the trees, living in the city he only got nature when they took him to the park. He barked and ran up the steps to the front door. Zoe rubbed her arms and shivered as she waited for Greed to make sure he was okay.

Greed was quiet the rest of the trip. He wasn't even as excites as he had been to show off what he'd spent the afternoon working on. In his head, right now it wouldn't make a bit of difference. She kept nailing him back with things that stung. Unfortunately for Greed it was the only way he could learn.
On Dec 5, 2014 1:13 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She squeezed his hand, "And you'll do it again...." she said quietly, almost kinda now accepting it. She'd asked him about it in Fiji, she'd painted that picture of what would happen if in a few years he got frustrated and walked away to take a moment, forgetting her and got distracted while he forgot her. Greed didn't say anything in Fiji because he knew just like she did that that would be the end of them. Even after she'd told him if he dumped her again she wouldn't take him back. But this wouldn't be him dumping, it would be forgetting her and that killed.. that she could be forgotten.

He swallowed that heavy lump. She wasn't letting him off easy. She wasn't letting him off at all! It was the only way aside from sucking face to get him quiet. He didn't know how to respond.
She thought of how to phrase it and said, "If I spill hot tea on you, you get burned. It could be that I tripped and didn't mean to spill hot tea on you but whether I meant to or not, the end result is still you get burned. You could have been in your own head focusing on yourself but the result was you forgot me and walked away, maybe you didn't mean to forget me and walk away.. but you did." she was not going to budge on that. She was still with him, she'd be with him.. but he didn't get a pass for what he did.

"In Fiji I didnt walk away from you. I was in my own head, beating myself up. Deep down this freaks me out. And before you even try to say anything about ending a damn thing, I'm purging that from your head al together. I'm just saying it rattles me a bit sometimes." It was the same when he froze, only it was projected into his actions. His mind was freezing and it spooked him.

"I know..." she said quietly. But her words were heavy because there was no arguing with him on that. He was a Sin so he'd leave her cause it was who he was and she knew this going in so she couldn't blame him. According to him anyway.
On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 10:13 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"I'm still a Sin." And he was there instead of in the midst of a club full of dumb ass girls. She was continuously drawing out something in him and slapping it in the table for him to swallow. She didn't even know she was doing it. She wasn't even forcing him to take it, he willingly had his hands wide open, and that was still a bit of a shock.
On Dec 5, 2014 12:50 AM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She wanted to argue but it was kinda true, Derek was rude and a pain but he had always been sort of intimadated by Greed being her boyfriend. When Greed left.... "Yeah well... it's like you said, you're a Sin and had sin things to do and its who you are and stuff..." she said half heartedly. He had said he'd never leave her. And then he did. But he had an excuse, he had a shiny face to play with so he HAD to you see, he wouldn't be true to himself if he didn't go bang other girls as a new face and drop Zoe on her ass. But she still didn't believe that entirely, she still felt he felt trapped and wanted a break. An escape.

"No he wouldn't. He came after you because I left. If I hadn't had left he'd never have had the nerve." That was really a first for Greed, admitting that he had been the dipshit to leave in the first place. He never should have turned his back, because that's when everything fell on it's knees. He hadn't gotten back up on his feet ever since, he was still trying to stand up and walk again.

"I should..." she agreed and rested her head against the window, "But I don't." she sighed, "I don't know, Greed. Maybe Derek would have kidnapped me even if you and I were still together. We can't know for sure." except that Derek moved in on Zoe when he thought she and Greed broke up and it was Greed's anger that pushed him over the edge.

"You should hate me..." he took a deep breath and exhaled. He could see his breath in a little cloud from the cold air even with the heat on. "I left you there all by yourself. Left you to be kidnapped by a fucking psycho." And if he'd just not been such a fucking pussy about all this it might have never happened.

She frowned and looked at him worried, "What? No. Of course not.." she squeezed his hand but she didn't say she loved him, she didn't want him to get sick and swerve into a ditch. "Why would you ask that?" yeah things were a little weird but they always fought and made up.

This wasn't the same. Some things were still all sorts of fucked up since he got back. It wasn't Fiji or just the whole thing, it almost felt like these thoughts of hers had been stuck there for a while. He wasn't breaking through at all, and all he was doing was showing off as the big badass and it did nothing to make things them again. Something was still lingering between them, and he wasn't sure yet if it was good or bad. It was uncomfortable.
"Do you hate me?" because that would explain it. It would explain why even though he had the title. the whole package wasn't there anymore and that started to make him panic. He squeezed her hand tight.

She snapped her head to look at her hand when she felt his touch but she didn't pull away, she held his hand and said, "Well... I think he/she had a crush on you." she was trying to forget what happened in Fiji but it was hard. It was weighing heavily on her that he was going to walk away again one day. That she'd have to go through that all over again.

"I think Olga was a fucking dude...." he couldn't believe that monstrosity was actually of the female sex. He shivered at the mention of that horrible ordeal that had him knocked out and drooling on himself. If he was a normal guy he'd say it was embarrassing, but it was just plain cruel. Greed looked over, taking his hand off the wheel and reaching for hers that was rested on her knee. She might be right there with him, but there was this distance to her. Something he ran and rolled over the top of in Fiji. Sadly, this was his big fuckup.

She looked away and felt her cheeks get heated, "Yes... Olga." and she glanced at him with a smile before looking back out the window. It was dark and she wasn't really looking too closely so she missed the paint on his face for now.

"Maybe I do. Someone was all over me in Fiji." Though he'd gotten rid of the vacation beard. There was a distinct difference between his work face and beardy face. The latter was not acceptable.
If Zoe looked she might be able to pinpoint the slight splatters of paint that were still under his chin that he'd not noticed. His clothes he'd managed to keep clean with all the trash bags and ponchos. He would have had a fit if he'd ruined that leather jacket.

She raised her brows, "We've been nothing but out of the city for over a week..." she slugged his arm again, "You just want sex." tho she wasn't even sure anymore. He'd bypassed going to Madison after Fiji to go to England. They hadn't had sex in almost two weeks since before they left.

He'd already been there most of the day. He hoped that had gotten the worst part out of his system so he could spend time with her without sleeping a few hours away. "I wanna get out of the city." They'd only been back for a few days and already it was suffocating, at least that's what he led her to believe. He had to get some of his brownie points back.

She responded to his ridiculous question by punching him in the arm but lightly.

Samson sat in the backseat, excited to be included in the trip.

"Mmm no, not feeling Chinese tonight." He was skipping all their usual haunts, his mission was Madison county, and after about an hour of driving she'd figure out they were headed out of the city.

Zoe barely got to say goodbye to Digger before they were off. She wasn't surprised when they didn't head towards the apartment, she assumed they were going to go pick up dinner. "Did you want chinese...?" she asked.

"You need to take care of her man." Greed gave a very fake grin and waved at Digger. He had somewhere else to be now that he had retrieved the most important part of his plan. Now it could be put into action. The big test was what happened when she saw. He didn't go into the direction of the apartment.

Zoe didn't look surprised that Greed was late and she picked up her bag and stood up when he arrived. She smiled at Digger and opened the passenger side door to get in.

Greed was about an hour late. Digger stayed with Zoe until Greed pulled up. Digger tapped his watch as Greed rolled the window down. "Did you set your watch an hour late?" He teased.

Zoe nodded, "It's okay, sometimes he's up to two hours late. If he doesn't show up then, I normally take the bus or a cab home." 30 minutes late was practically early for when Greed was running late.

Something was missing when she saod goodbye. He didn't say anything either. He just whispered it after the dial-tone sounded. She was still a mess no matter how many times she climbed in his bed. He rolled up his sleeves and continued his own decorating party. He had to stay completely focused if he was going to finish in time.
Despite the time he gave her, he was late. Digger sat on the main stoop with her. "It's almost six, you sure you don't need that ride?" Greed had texted her about an hour and a half before that he was on his way.

She nodded, "Okay..." was all she said. She wanted to tell him she loved him or missed him but she didn't. "I'll see you later."

"No, no. I'll be there by like 5:30." He was quick to tell her. Not that he didn't trust Digger (and maybe he really didn't) but Greed was gonna take care of this on his own.

She made a face and lied, "I'm not... I just.. was curious, that's all." she changed the subject and said, "If you're gonna be busy and that far away, you don't have to pick me up, Digger said he could take me home tonight if you want."

"No, I didn't." He could sense the worry in her tone, even though she thought he didn't always pay attention. "I don't want you thinking about test results today." He only wanted her to be thinking good things today.

She frowned again, "Okay...." having no reason to doubt him. She turned away a bit so Digger couldn't see her face as she rubbed the back of her head idly, "Ummm you didn't swing by the apartment, did you? Just wondering if the mail came today...." so maybe she was a little on edge about those results.

"It's just something for work..." the line went silent for a bit, as Greed shuffled around in his plastic bags and poncho.

She frowned, "Hours away? Where are you?" and because he was crazy she added, "And NO, Digger and I are not getting married you lunatic."

"Don't play with me. I'm hours away." He stomped his foot on the floor. "I'll be back to come get you." Then he was kidnapping her their house.

She said, "Sorry, Chance is calling.." when her phone rang. She answered it and at Greed's question she rolled her eyes and said with heavy sarcasm, "No, we're running off to the courthouse to get married after we finish our food."

When Greed didn't reply back after a few minutes her ringtone would go off. Now he was calling, while having a roller in his hand, paint all over himself. He'd made note to cover himself with plastic bags, a pancho AND an apron so he didn't get anything on his clothes. He had plenty there with him, he just didn't want to dirty up that pair of pants and jacket.
"You are just having lunch right?"
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 11:33 PM, Lucky L.<neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe laughed and just shook her head at Digger when he looked at her curiously. She texted back Yes I am.. my normal lunch date disappeared. Why do you think you need to kick his ass?

"You're with Digger?" Greed paused in his wallpaper hanging frenzy to find out more. "Do I need to kick his ass?" Because Greed was a tad worried being two hours away from them both to do much of anything.
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 10:43 PM, Lucky L.<neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe smiled at the text and texted back They miss you but I think Digger and I are keeping them entertained with our fries.

While Zoe was out with Digger for lunch, Zoe would receive another text that asked, how are the squirrels? He didn't expect to hear she'd be out with his new best buddy that was like a replacement for Glutt. It also meant that Greed was two hours away with nowhere to go with his jealous streak.

Zoe nodded, "Sure, but I can buy my own. I won't say no to the company tho." she smiled and waited for him to get up so they could go.

"Well at least let me buy you lunch." He snapped another rubber band across the cubicle. At least someone could feed her sinc Greed was off running around.
Greed was in fact decorating their home in Madison with the nee wallpaper. He had all kinds of lights abs shiny things to accentuate the wallpaper she'd found.

She smiled, "Aw, that's sweet but you don't have to. I'll take the bus if he doesn't show up." she wasn't reading it as him crushing on her still, just as concern.

"Weird..." Digger felt as jilted as she did, even though he wasn't exactly in the same position as Zoe when it came to Greed. "What if he doesn't pick you up? Need someone to take you home?" So Digger's crush was still barely visible, it was still there. He didn't want to see her go home alone and something happen. In the back of his mind Greed wouldn't forgive him if he let something happen to her.
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 9:45 PM, Lucky L.<neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"He does... he just..." she waved a hand, not knowing how to explain the mystery that was Greed. She nodded, "He said he'd be back to pick me up. Maybe he's running an errand for work. Maybe he has stuff to do outside the office with this promotion."
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 6:43 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
"Off doing what? Doesn't he have to work?" But Digger had yet to completely realize that Greed was good at fooling people. He fooled them all. Greed had bigger things to fix, and work right now took a backseat. "He coming back?" Digger shot one of the loose rubber bands across his cubicle as it smacked against the wall.
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 9:32 PM, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com>wrote:
She frowned as looked at the text, "Speak of the devil..." she muttered and read it. She texted back asking if everything was okay, but he seemed to be in that weird mood when something shiny distracted him. Well, at least he texted her and had enough sense to know she'd be looking for him at lunch. She offered Digger a brief smile, "That was him... he's off doing... something." she just shrugged, sometimes even she didn't know what the hell Greed was upto.
On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 6:28 PM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"No? DId he leave for lunch?" Usually he grabbed one of them to tag along with him. Digger looked at his watch. He didn't have a clue. About then tho Greed chimed in with a text message to Zoe's phone.
Be back to pick you up. Have something to take care of. Watch the squirrels for me.
It wasn't much of a lead at all, she still would have no idea where he was, but that was part of the surprise.

Zoe looked over, she was wearing a loose flowy top that looked like someone dumped small gold coins all over the shoulders and a hint of a lace tank underneath. She smiled at Digger and said, "Um... a bit of both. Do you know where Chance is...?" she was getting that paranoid feeling that Greed forgot her. Again.

Greed had had the wallpaper expedited. Once he'd seen the email he had bolted out of work to go take care of it. He'd put on the mask of tears and looking like the world was a weight on his shoulders so the boss would let him take the rest of the day off. He promised to be back after the weekend refreshed. Right now he had to take care of his and Zoe's house, but to the big boss he was just taking some time alone after the death of his grandmother. In Greed's haste he didn't tell Zoe he was leaving. He'd be there to pick her up after work, but right now he had bigger things on their plate to take care of in Madison.
Digger was making a ball of rubber bands and watching it roll on his desk when he saw Zoe breeze by. "Hello, hello. What can I do for you?" She looked worried, like she lost something important. Or maybe she just wanted to talk to him. It wasn't a complete misfire if she did. "Are you lost or looking for something?"

Fiji hadn't ended on a great note but Greed surprised her with a stop over in England, it was another stamp in her passport, another chance to see a place she'd never been to even if it was for less than a day. It wasn't random, he picked England because that's where the store sold the pretty wallpaper she'd loved in the magazine. A subdued gold with colorful tasteful flowers painted vertically on it. They placed the order and then were back in the states with enough time for some sleep before they were back at work. They weren't fighting and Zoe slept in Greed's bed every night, but there was a blue to her now that wasn't fading. Now on Friday, she thought they'd get lunch together but he wasn't in his office. She frowned and went to see if he was with Digger.
