WHO: Zoe & Greed
WHEN: April 14th [Backdated]
WHERE: Dog Shelter, Street
WHAT: Finding the dog, losing the relationship
WARNING: None
Note: The log reads backwards
Zoe watched with some horror as Greed just dropped the leash and let Sammy walk to her. They JUST got him back! And of course Greed had nothing to say because she was right. She leaned down and scooped the dog into her arms, getting mud on the new clothes she'd changed into but who cares, they weren't going out anymore. "We're going home. Maybe one day you'll decide to join us." was all she said to Greed before turning and walking away.

The whole moment just unravelled right before him. It was a mess, and as Zoe was about to storm away Sammy whimpered and went to her. Greed was going home empty handed. He'd just had both of them in his grasp.

Zoe looked at him sternly, like she couldnt even recognize him right now. "No, you can take Sammy to your place and give him a bath. I am going home." she put the leash in Greed's hand and then said, "And I don't think we should even text for the next week. No contact at all." the little scraps of attention she was giving him was getting him through and letting him hold on to his self absorbedness. He got to see and hear from her enough that he didnt miss her.

"So you both go home and I get left alone?" He wasn't saying no to his place, but he wasn't saying yes either. He was confused himself and now they were in this silent battle like a divorced couple. Greed wanted to go out, but he wanted company. He wanted his dog but he didn't know if he wanted him at his apartment. He wanted to snuggle Zoe at hers but he wasn't invited. This whole thing was turning into a disaster.

She made another face, maybe she'd kinda been hoping he'd argue against that. That maybe she'd be allowed at his apartment again like she used to but no, he was agreeing with her he needed his own space from her and them. Like as if he could pause being in a relationship! She tried to hide the annoyed look on her face and said, "Then I don't know where. Why don't you let me take him home and wash him and pick him up later if you want some company for the week? Unless you don't want Samson at your place either." since Sammy was their dog as a couple and it might just be more invasion of HIS space.

"Then where?" She wasnt ready to be with him was she? His stomach hit the ground and didn't bounce back, it just stayed hitched to the floor dragging behind him. He hated that feeling. So far his plan was going belly up.

She immediately made a face, that didn't sound like it would end well, "I don't know.. if that's such a good idea. I mean, your apartment is supposed to be your place, you know, away from me and us." tho she didn't think he remembered at the moment they were an 'us', just a him and a toaster.

"We could take dinner to my place, you could bathe him there." He didn't think Sammy fit into his apartment as well as he did Zoe's. Worse than that, that meant she'd leave him alone. Maybe he could convince her to stay.

Zoe just stared at him but she looked disappointed too and sighed letting her hand drop. She was disappointed tho because Greed was still in me mode, not we, it's why he wasn't happy when he saw her, just irritated that his toy hadn't been in line. She had been secretly hoping maybe he'd come home... that he was ready, but he clearly wasn't. "How about we eat some place that has a patio so we can sit outside with Sammy? Then I can take him home and give him a bath and I can.. drop him off at your office tomorrow and he can spend the week with you nice and clean."

"I wanted to go out..." He was disappointed, instead of focusing on the fact that he could have Sammy and Zoe to himself.

"It's not a big deal. I can wash Sammy myself. she said and touched Greed's arm to try to get him to refocus on what was important.

"Why aren't they here? Damnit." They were all supposed to go out looking dapper. Now Greed's evening was lost. He couldn't take Sammy out like this. But he could bring Zoe home.

Zoe didn't complain when Greed took her hand, as always she was pleased that he did, a healthy pink in her cheeks the result of it. She missed holding hands with him and walking. She was still a little behind even as they walked together and when he put Sammy's leash in her hands and tried to pry open the door, Zoe said, "It's okay, really.. I can wash him at home. Maybe we can eat somewhere outside..." tho it was still nippy and wet.

They were going to walk to the groomers. Greed was happy to have Sammy back, but he wasn't getting mud into his car.
He took Zoe's hand ready to skip off. His skipping came to a dead halt when the sign on the dog groomers door said they were closed.
"What? It says they close at five. They still have three minutes!" He handed Zoe the leash and proceeded to try and pry the door open.

She didn't compliment him because she knew he wanted her to and left Sammy with him to go change inside a store's bathroom and when she came out, she was yellow from her top to her skirt to the shoes he insisted she wear. She was ready too.

Greed had no qualms worth stripping down to his underwear to change his pants. To him he was benefiting public by giving them something so amazing to look at. He was putting his shoes back on as she stood there. "Ok, I'm ready." He looked like he'd stepped out of the dressing room, not the middle of the street.
On Apr 27, 2015 12:17 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"I think he deserves some toys." she peeked at him as he took off his shirt right there and then averted her eyes, not that other people out on the street did the same courtesy. "I think I'll change in a restroom." he might like the attention but she was not gonna expose herself.

She was trying to be funny. The little minx. "You rather Sammy use them as a chew toy?" Thry both knew Greed would be more distraught over that than Greed, who started changing his shirt and jacket right there behind the trunk hood.

"Why? Are you planning on stepping on my feet?" she asked but she just went along with it. It was awkward but kinda.. nice, just to be around him again.

"Yeah, but those work better with your skirt." He dragged up a shirt and new pair of pants. His blazer was in the front seat, and at least Sammy hadn't ruined the shoes he had on. He wiggled the shoes at her again. "You also have much smaller feet. I'd hate to ruin such pretty shoes."
On Apr 26, 2015 8:38 PM, "Lucky L." <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She held up a hand, "Oh no, by all means, if you want to wear the yellow skirt, go ahead. You'd probably rock it better than I would." she took the shoes and raised a brow, "You know my shoes don't have Sammy prints on them..."

"I thought that was mine..." He shuffled through the clothes for a new outfit. "There may be some...ohh...no...wait...." He just kept digging through an endless pit of clothes. He found what he wanted, handing her a pair of cute shoes.

Zoe looked at the little clothing mall in his trunk and when he showed her the outfit he had for her, she smiled, "Yellow. What a surprise...." the skirt was cute and the top was long sleeved and very modern.... "I've always wanted to be a neon banana from space." she said as she dubiously looked over the outfit.

He popped the trunk with a devilish grin. One would have thought he'd murdered someone, but the trunk was full of clothes. He had filled out with junk like he did every other storage unit. Greed was a packrat.

She didn't even have time to think of backing out since Greed was shoving them to the car already, "I know YOU have clothes in the car.. I don't think I have clothes in your car... do I?" and she quirked a brow cause she wouldn't be surprised if Greed kept clothes for her in the car, sometimes he did it on accident. She picked Sammy up, not willing to let him wander right now. She had a limp and was slow but she followed behind Greed.
On Sun, Apr 26, 2015 at 4:17 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed's fast smile spread quickly across his face. "Alright, let's go!" Sammy barked happily, ready to follow his master out. "I have clothes in the car, If you'd like to change out of Sammy's puppy art." Greed was definitely not going to dinner in that.

She rubbed her lips together, still thinking it over, thinking what a bad idea this was, and thinking how being near him and being able to smell him in person instead of bundled up in his shirt in his bed was so much nicer, "Yeah... I guess we can do that."

"We can drop him at the groomers, clean up with some new clothes and go out?" He was hopeful.

That made her feel a little better even tho she didn't believe him entirely and she did miss him a lot... she raised her gaze to his eyes and said, "So.,.. just dinner.... right?" that really couldn't hurt, could it?

"Do I miss you? Yes, I do." The world was so grey and boring without her or Sammy. He just wanted to hear her talk to him again.

She was terrified if she said no, he'd ask Mary or someone else, and those girls wouldn't just have dinner with him. But more than that... she bit her bottom lip again before asking, "Do you... miss having company.. or do you miss... " she trailed off, looking at his tie, she couldn't ask him if he missed her, she was scared he'd say no.
On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 7:54 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"You don't have to stay..." he just wanted some company. It was lonely staring up at the ceiling without anything to cuddle but his pillow. He also just hung out with himself, getting high and binge eating in front if the tv to watch The Walking Dead. His excess brother would be proud, but Greed was not. It gave him free time, but free time he wanted with company.

She desperately wanted to go home with him and it was such a bad idea. She didn't want to infuse herself into his space again but at the same time... she bit her bottom lip as she looked at him and thought it over. She missed him so much and she didn't want to leave him, "I mean... I could just wash him in the tub...." groomers were expensive. She didn't know what kinda dinner Greed had in mind, they both were covered in paw prints.

His words and tone tugged at her heartstrings but she was hesitant. She did stop, mainly cause he had her arm, but she said softly, "You need time and that's okay.. we're still together.. just not in the same place." she did not want him to come home before he was ready, and home was with her.

It was the kiss that broke him. The kiss that snapped him out of his pride to realize he was just pushing her away as much as she was giving him space. It was something that should have him unhinged and now he was. Greed grabbed her arm. "Please stay." His voice cried out softly for her stop. He needed her right now.

When he just stared at her and didn't argue or deny it, Zoe's heart sank. The papers were done and Sammy was sitting closer to Greed than her and she knew it'd mean more to him if he got to have the company so she straightened her back and went to Sammy, leaning down to kiss him and pet him, "I miss you so much and I really hope you decide to come home soon.." she looked up at Greed, her words were more for him than the dog. She stood up and kissed Greed goodbye on the cheek.

They were still at odds with each other. Greed wasn't comfortable and he didn't know why. Maybe he wasn't ready? He didn't know himself right now.

"I smiled, I said hi, and all you've been doing is glowering at me. And back then? When you tackled me? I think I actually tried to push you off and you didn't budge, so when has how I look ever mattered to how you want to feel about seeing me? You aren't happy to see me, you're tense, you're guarded, you're annoyed." and it sucked all the happiness and yearning she had for him out the window and replaced it with complete misery.

"Because you don't even look like you want to see me." They were having a meltdown in public, it was drawing attention, and Sammy didn't like the mood that was building. It wasn't happy.

She wasn't buying it and she felt kinda crushed by his reaction. "Do you remember the first time we went to Lithuania? When we got back you were confused and needed space... so we agreed to take two weeks apart. Then you saw me outside of the toy store. You tackled me to the ground in the park where there was mud and grass and kissed me and were SO happy to see me, just like Sammy is to see you.... and now? You're snapping at me and acting like I'm annoying and are just so irritated."

She frowned a little, he was being so hostile, "Sammy being found is great and if you wanna take him back to your place to give him a bath and keep him with you that's fine. But there are no rules to bend, Chance." saying his name since there was a woman not too far away from them, "You said yourself two weeks." he'd agreed and now he was acting like she was doing this to him when in reality he knew he needed this break from her.

"So Sammy being found doesn't bend the rules a little?" Clearly this put a dent in their previous deal. Or was he on his own still. Seeing Sammy and her again only to be told that was all he could made him extremely anxious.

He didn't seem too thrilled to see her, and she tried not to wonder what he was up to on his own. She rubbed her hands on her pants and said, "Well.. we agreed two weeks and it's only been one. And I don't think we wanna keep Sammy at the shelter a minute longer than necessary..."

Sammy gave her a few kisses, skittering all over the floor to reach Greed with a bark. "Why would he only be going home with one of us?" As if they were divorced parents dividing up their assets.

Zoe chuckled as Sammy nipped at her clothes and jumped and whined, "You go off on an adventure and then behave like a brat?" she picked up the dog and held him with one arm so she could sign a couple more forms. It was like adopting him all over again! But Sammy squirmed and wriggled so she sighed and set him down again, "You're not gonna get to go home with either of us if you keep acting like this." she then looked at Greed, kinda stung he hadn't even said anything to her, "Hi." tho she also chided herself, they texted every night (she did anyways) and it'd just been a week apart, no need to be dramatic... she guessed.

Sammy gave his daddy kisses until he caught a glimpse of Zoe. Then Sammy decided his adoptive parents needed to see each other, because they were being awfully stand offish. He barked, heading back over to Zoe, tugging the arm of her coat for her to go over to his daddy.

Zoe smiled as she saw the two together. She knew Greed always had a hard time admitting when he cared for something, his version was well it was HIS but that was his way of saying he loved someone. Zoe's white lace top also had pawprints on it since Sammy had seen her already. She was pretty happy to see Greed too and while she wanted to greet him like Sammy did, she stayed put. In fact, she filled out the forms for Sammy's release so they could take him home. Tho she wasn't sure which home he'd be going to...

Zoe had been going to job interviews so was dressed in a nice pantsuit with a lacey shirt underneath but her nails were blue with a little sparkle cause well she had a lot of time on her hands. Greed didn't have to demand to see his dog for too long cause Samson's barks could be heard and then the thunder of doggy paws running as Sammy caught scent of Greed and barked happily as he launched himself at the big Sin, jumping on him, trying to get in his arms. He was dirty, covered in mud and stank but he was thrilled to see him. Zoe was right on his heels chasing him and stopped when she saw the dog had found his best bud.

When Greed didn't get an answer he took an early day and hauled across town to get to the pound. He didn't beat Zoe after getting stuck behind a garbage truck. He rushed inside hassling the girl at the front desk to give him his dog. The poor girl looked terrified.

But Zoe didn't pick up, her phone was in her bag and she was on the way to the shelter in the bus. She wasn't looking at it and when she got there, she went straight in to see what papers needed to be signed to get the dog back. But the text had said which shelter she was going to that had called to tell her they had Samson. A dog with one eye was kinda hard to miss.

Easter had been a disaster on many levels. Zoe had put a block between them, and he'd willingly let her. It didn't mean he dug the silent treatment she gave him each day. She at least gave him something to feed off of, but he found he needed the break as much as she shoved it in his face. There was a tenseness there that he had to work out. His apartment however was not helping his Zoe addiction at all. Not when he had those pictures in his bedroom. Now he had fighting in his dreams aw well.

Easter had sucked and Zoe wasn't even a Christian. She and Greed had talked the next day after they spent the night apart and like before she suggested they take some time apart but phrased it as he take time to think. Two weeks was standard and so that's what she pushed for. She didn't take his calls, no skype or facetime, she wanted him to be free of her. And she only answered about every 5-10 texts he sent, sometimes she didn't text at all till the end of the day to tell him she was okay and to say goodnight. The whole thing of being apart was pointless if he had access to her all the time still and could hear her and see her and have her attention. She missed him like crazy but she didn't think he missed her. Not as a person anyway. Just like if his favorite car got towed and he wasn't allowed to play with it.
