Wednesday

Lily: So, am I allowed to text you about non-murder related things?

Link: Depends.

Lily: On what?

Link: If it’s interesting.

Lily: How do I know if it’s interesting?

Link: If I reply.

Lily: Okay.

Lily: What’s the farthest you’ve ridden on your bike?

Link: Why?

Lily: Why not?

Link: Okay…I’m not going to talk about the MC.

Lily: Didn’t ask you about the MC. Just wanted to know how far you’d ridden.

Link: Why?

Lily: Wanted to know if it made your butt hurt after a while.

Link: :p I don’t mind.

Lily: You don’t mind an aching butt? Hmm. I need to man up then when I’m doing a spin class.

Link: That how you stay in shape? Spinning?

Lily: Yup. That and a few other ways. I spend a lot of time at the club.

Link: Why?

Lily: Because it gets me out of the house.

Link: Can’t blame you for THAT.

Lily: No. If I’m not there, I’m at my friend’s.

Link: Why haven’t you moved out?

Lily: I can’t. Not really. He wouldn’t let me. I tried once, but he cut me off before I could do much. I got a job at this clothing store, he bought the building and threatened to shut the store down. The owner was this really nice woman, and it wasn’t her fault he wants me tied to him, so I quit… I know he’d do that again and again. *shrugs* Easier to concede than let someone innocent get hurt by our feuding.

Link: o.O He bought the fucking store? You know he’s a psycho, yeah?

Lily: Umm, yeah. Lol. That didn’t escape me.

Link: Did you go to college?

Lily: Yeah, but it was close to home and I was allowed into the dorms for the first year, but after he made me come back.

Link: Fuck, that’s shitty.

Lily: Yeah. I liked it out of there. I slept really well.

Link: You have problems sleeping?

Lily: Well, not falling asleep, just staying asleep.

Link: Nightmares?

Lily: No. More like I’m just on edge. There’s a lot of tension in the house. Sometimes it’s business, but mostly it’s just how it is. Things have calmed down now that Luke’s dead, but Father’s still uneasy.

Link: You ever call him ‘daddy?’

Lily: Would you?

Link: No. Lol. Good point.

Lily: I’m smart. Surprisingly.

Link: Why surprisingly? Some of the smartest people I know are bitches.

Lily: You didn’t just call women ‘bitches?’

Link: Yup. Get used to it.

Lily: You going to call me a bitch?

Link: Depends on whether you act like one or not.

Lily: Good point. I’m not a bitch BUT I do have RBF.

Link: What the fuck is RBF?

Lily: Resting Bitch Face.

Link: Hmm. I could see that.

Lily: Thanks! :/

Link: You’re the one who admitted to it!

Lily: It’s not like it’s a crime.

Link: Haha. No, I guess not.

Lily: My father doesn’t like it. Says it’s bad for business.

Link: Fuck’s sake. Is everything business with him?

Lily: That’s how you get ninety billion in the bank.

Link: That and by breaking laws.

Lily: I’d imagine.

Link: You don’t know?

Lily: Not for certain. I have my suspicions. But it’s hard to look into him. I don’t have access. I wish I did.

Link: What would you do if you had proof that could take him down?

Lily: Celebrate? Have a massive party?

Link: Would you change your mind about killing him?

Lily: Maybe. I want him dead.

Link: Why?

Lily: He deserves to die.

Link: Maybe he does, but do you want the stain on your soul?

Lily: Is that what it is? To kill someone who taints the Earth by walking on it? Aren’t I doing people a favor?

Link: Hell, yeah. But it depends on who you talk to.

Lily: I’ve only ever wanted to hurt him.

Link: Good to know you’re not a nutcase.

Lily: Oh, I never said I wasn’t.

Link: Lol. At least you’re funny and sexy as well as insane.

Lily: Well, a girl’s got to try to give a good first impression.

Link: Trust me, you did that. We’d been looking for the women for a while. Since the bastard’s death.

Lily: How did you find out about them? I wasn’t even sure if you knew, to be honest.

Link: That why you dropped it like a hammer on my toe? ‘I know where they are.’

Lily: Yeah. I wasn’t going to get people involved unnecessarily.

Link: Shrewd of you.

Lily: See? Told you I was smart.

Link: If you were smart, I don’t think you’d be trying to talk to me.

Lily: Trying? Isn’t this us? Talking?

Link: Maybe. O.o

Lily: Wellllll… if you don’t want to talk…

Link: Lily?

Lily: This is me. Not talking.

Link: Nah. It’s all good. You can talk.
