             “Aren’chaALWAYS angry? ‘s kinda your thing lately.”

                       There was a certain level of tease laced in his words, upper half bare with black sweatpants adorning his lower half. Of course, they remained CONCEALED by the warm covers draped over a structured frame, both hands resting behind the back of his head. No doubt that things had gotten INTERESTING between them for a while now, complaints few and far in between IF ANY. Every part of him LIKED to see the younger woman in distress, sufficing with his need of ATTENTION and her need to just feel IMPORTANT. USEFUL, for once.

                       Some days, though…it went BEYOND sex, and moments like this, he wondered WHY they were diving head first into this sticky situation. That was a QUESTION for the century, one that would most likely take an ETERNITY to completely fathom.

                      Pulling the sheets from the spot in his bed, dark optics glazed over a much paler figure, idly nodding his head to the spot in bed for her to occupy. He could just TELL that this wasn’t going to be one of THOSE nights that resulted in thick layers of sweat, and moans exchanged in the confinements of the room shared by them both.

                       Sometimes, things just got a little EMOTIONAL …
                       but Seth would be DAMNED if he admitted there was
                       a sense of care in his body for the Brit.

             “Who’s ‘yer TARGET this time ‘round? You’d THINK they’d
                be smart by now not to step on your toes ‘nd rub ya the wrong
                way. People don’t LEARN the easy way though…do they? ‘s why
                we always gotta be the ones to put our BEST foot forward.”

                                She smiled simply at her comment, nodding in an amused agreement. Sauntering over to the bed, Paige threw her hair up in the messiest of buns, ditched her overly worn vans and finally reached around her back to unclip her bra, dropping it next to her shoes. BECAUSE they were just friends, she didn’t give a single shit about what she looked like. Flopping down on his bed with a little HUFF, she adjusted her small bed shorts and an old ‘SHIMMER’ top until she was comfy, dark eyes rolling until they found Seth’s in the vague lighting.

               “ TARGET? Don’t got a target. EVERYONE is my fuckin’ target
               these days, apparently. ‘nd i mean c’mon, i ain’t that bad right? —-
               See, knew you of all people’d understand what m’saying. Bitches
               need t’learn not to grind my GEARS.
               ———————–I’m a CIVIL person, until you piss me off. ”

                                She was working herself up, the anger she tried to subdue from earlier bubbling over the ever boiling pot inside of her mind. There were always times when she wondered if she were a NUISANCE to Seth, always coming to HIM with her problems and annoyances.— But she really had no one else, not anymore. Paige had built all her bridges just as easy as she DESTROYED THEM.

                                Maybe that’s where common ground found them, INCAPABLE of maintaining a ‘healthy’ relationship with people. The idea of ‘friends’ was a hard concept for her at times, YES she had told Becky & Charlotte some home truths — but surely that shouldn’t of warranted a splitting of the trio? ‘FRIENDS’ were meant to be honest after all. But then again, she was hanging around with the MASTER of misconception. Even she didn’t call the breakup of the brothers, the fact still shocking her to THIS day.

             She didn’t necessarily ADMIRE him for the decision, in fact it used to
             REPULSE her. Until she took a step back & realised she was in
             the SAME position as he was. ——Though she would NEVER go the
             extremities that he went to.

                              Fingers played idly with a few fallen strands from her hair, slinking into the bed further until she was finally laying down beside him. She gave a little sigh, followed by a grunt & a small growl, why people were so STUPID was beyond her.

            “ I don’t fuckin’ get it… It makes me so bloody angry, like what ‘ave i
            ever done t’them morons? I should be rolling in GLORY, not asking
            for advice from the biggest backstabber in the business — no offence.
            How come you ended up so good after it all? ‘nd i can’t even win a
            match against a crazy cat lady ? ”
