she doesn't want to know where he is. not really. not if she knew what was good for her. not if she knew what was good for either of them. but time had admitted what neither of them'd had the heart to say ; when was good ever in the equation ? back when teeth were blunt and his interests less dubious, perhaps. where his stride was purposeful, yes, but not.. this. stalking through the bustle of a night life he wants no part of, uncaring for shoulders that collide with his own and another series of honked horns because roman doesn't have time to wait for the light to change.

there's shouting and he's gauging his will to press forward versus a want to turn back. make an excuse that he'd forgotten something in his room. say it was too late already and a packed schedule, waiting for him in the morning, wouldn't care why he'd not gotten his sleep. the much needed variety he's astutely aware he, now, had no chance of finding. not while his palms still burn and that twitch moves from jaw to lips, up into a nose scrunched while he sneers through it.

impasse is forking. tongue works over bottom lip. roman's stall has weight to it and, were it not for that ding, dull, muted by his pocket, he may have let reason win out.

asshole

each letter folds in with the next. becky isn't the first to call him that. in the grand, escalating scheme of it all, she's not even in the top fifty. but it nags. seven letters. seven stupid letters. there are people out there, their pockets deep and their paperwork thick, who'd have envied how easily she'd snagged his attention. caught that floundering lead and jerked.

if the chief is there, it's only in his eyes. darker than the typical, honed in on a destination he'd not be quick to divulge his knowledge of. without a wiseman, it should've been harder than it was. or maybe he'd just wizened up enough for himself.

becky   has   the   good   sense   to   feel   like   she's   being   cornered   again.    she   is   not   something   scared   or   shivering,        she   is   something   waiting   to   bite.    if   roman   is   barrelling   towards   her,    looking   for   a   fight    (    which   she   knows   him   well   enough   to   know   he   is    )    then   she'll   be   waiting   with   her   fists   up,    teeth   bared.    

she   thinks   they   may   have   made   more   sense   years   ago,   when   they   were   less   callous   and   a   lot   less   cruel.    if   they   had   stayed   that   way   forever,    there   wouldn't   be   this   tension   at   all.    maybe   they   would've   been   here   together,   or   wherever   he   was   together.    there   is   no   chance   of   that   now,    not   when   they   are   so   guarded,    and   refuse   to   do   anything   but   act   like   idiots.     

he's   on   his   way,    and   becky   cannot   help   but   run   her   mind   through   every   single   thing   that   he   could   possibly   say,    every   single   thing   that   will   tumble   out   of   his   mouth   and   hers   and   how   the   night   might   end.    she   has   to   go   to   work   tomorrow,    fly   to   a   new   city,    like   she   always   does.    no   matter   how   it   goes,   she   knows   it'll   affect   her   sleep.    she'll   be   tired   and   tense.    whether   it's   in   the   way   she'd   prefer   or   not   is   all   up   to   roman   and   his   short   fucking   temper. 

she   doesn't   feel   good   about   it   when   she   hears   the   banging   on   the   door.    she's   way   too   familiar   with   it   now.    familiar   with   the   sound   of   his   fist   hitting   the   door   of   whatever   room   she's   staying   at. 

she's   also   used   to   waiting   for   him   to   leave    —    and   there's   a   split   second   where   she   considers   it.    she   almost   considers   letting   him   try   the   door,    kick   it   down,    whatever   before   she   thinks   better   of   it. 

"That's what people don't understand." He slides back in his chair, big hands folding neatly on the tabletop, knuckles wet from brushing against his sweating glass on the way there. "I already have. It's not about me in the end. It's about my people." Strength in numbers. At the end of the day, that's how he wins- something he's unashamed of and has always trusted, even in simpler times, simpler days, when breathing was a bit easier and his elbow didn't try to take him out every few weeks. "The place is better for every win. The place is better for every loss. I'm not going to go around pointing out that people are getting put over by smashing me into the ground, but...eh." He shrugs, one-shouldered, good-natured.

He likes Becky. Respects the hell out of her. Always has. Weird way of showing it, sure, but that's how he is with just about everyone.

"This...fire you've got under your ass right now. What's the end goal? Not that I don't admire living for spite." He does. Very much.

she grins anyway, putting people over by smashing them into the ground, they have that in common. " well they wouldn't see it even if you did point it out, " her hands fold on the table in front of her, any drink is laid forgotten, " people love to pretend they'd hear their name otherwise if you hadn't put them into the mat, huh ? how humiliating. "

Now, wait a minute. Don't bite my head off.

If you can't get it with money, there are other ways of getting it.

My goodness. I made a mistake.

No, thank you. It'll spoil my appetite.

What are you doing that for?

Tell me, isn't there something else you'd rather be doing than this?

I don't believe a word you're saying.

I have a lot of other ideas just like it.

What's happened? You were all right last time I saw you.

You've been working too hard. You should to take a vacation.

I'd better be going. I'll be late.

Wait 'til you listen to this song. It's been ringing in my ears all day.

It'll come to you. Remember how you got out of that jail?

That looks cool! Did you make that all by yourself?

Well, it's just as catching.

When things go a little bad nowadays, you go out and get yourself an "ism," and you're in business.

You know, every once in a while I get a very strange sensation.

That's wonderful. You'd be a sensation on a trapeze.

Whatever happened to you?

Well, he's a very busy man nowadays. I doubt if you can see him.

It would do your heart good to see me struggle, doesn't it.

Just found out what's up, and is screaming for your help.

All right, all right. Don't get so excited about it.

This isn't a business deal. You can't settle anything by firing them!

You weren't going out, were you?

We had a date, don't you remember?

We should discuss where to go, don't you think?

Now, you wouldn't want anything like that to happen.

You're so beautiful. Sometimes you're so beautiful it just gags me.

Maybe you're not real. Maybe you're a phantom or something.

Now, wait a minute. Don't say anything.

I don't remember you telling it to me.

You know, if you scratch under the surface here, you'll find a proposal lying around.

Did you see the way [he/she/they] looked at me? I know just what [he/she/they] was thinking.

Well, that doesn't make any difference to me.

I never in my life wanted anything that I couldn't get if I just yelled loud enough.

There's one little detail I forgot to mention, I love you.

What do you want us to do with [him/her/them]?

Everybody around here is talking about it.

I think we should see somebody about it.

Say, "Watch for the Revolution. It's coming soon." How's that?

Well, what's special about [him/her/them] ? Has [he/she/they] got horns or something?

We could have the wedding right here in this room.

Well, there's a lot of fuss being made about a young man taking you out to dinner.

Well, that's something very different.

Are you in love? Either you are or you aren't.

Now, come on, tell me all about it.

Who's asking you to be rational?

There was nothing phenomenal about it. I just down bad, that's all.

Right up to the very last, [he/she/they] couldn't walk into a room without my heart going thump, thump, thump.

Did you ever notice the peculiar fragrance in here?

That's the reason I've lived in this house so many years and could never move out.

Now, wait just a minute. It's for you.

Anytime I get an impulse to buy you a present, that's your birthday.

Anybody you fall in love with is all right with me.

It doesn't matter, I'm so happy. I can't think about anything.

Excuse me. I've got some work to do.

All I have is just an office with my name on the door.

Well, I suppose you're ready to settle down and get married now?

Too bad. I'm sorry you can't stay to dinner.

Didn't I read something about your father? He was indicted or something, wasn't he?

What difference does that make?

Mind you, I don't say that I'm going to, but just for the sake of argument, what's the government going to do with it?

Now, wait a minute. I didn't come here to argue with you.

Is everybody acquainted with everybody?

If you think you're bigger than the law, you've got another thing coming.

I don't owe the government a cent.

Here we go again. we've been getting on pretty good for quite a while now.

As far as anything else is concerned, we leave that up to you.

Living with them must be like living in a world that Walt Disney might have thought of.

I can talk and I can listen, or I can just sit. What will you have?

It just seems like, in their own way, they've found what everybody's looking for.

People spend their whole lives building castles in the air and then nothing ever comes of them.

Everybody's afraid to live. You know?

That's wonderful. I never knew that.

Don't say it. What's my excuse?

I resent what you said about your brain.

Well, I figured I'd just have to get used to that.

Wonder whatever happened to Astaire and Rogers.

We seem to be attracting a little attention.

I was just seeing how far I could trace my family tree.

You know, if we're honest now, we're gonna save ourselves a lot of embarrassment later.

So that's what has been on your mind?

Do you think I'm going to put you on exhibition like a circus?

Well, who wouldn't stare at you?

You know, every time I think how lucky I am, I feel like screaming.

It's starting right now in my toes. Sort of a tingling sensation.

What can I do? It's fighting to get out. I can't hold it any longer. Here it goes.

What are you so excited about, [name]?

What's the matter, Are you jealous?

I guess I'd better have cocktails about 7:00.

Darling, I'm not trying to impress them, or pretend we're anything that we aren't.

Why did it have to be tonight? I have more important things to do.

Will you come down? I have a big surprise for you.

I'm very uncomfortable, [name]. This is all very embarrassing.

What about the unemployment problem?

How could you make such a dreadful mistake?

You know I didn't want to bring them down here at all, but you insisted. But if they have to meet you, I want them to meet you as you are.

There's nothing unnatural in wanting them to like us.

It doesn't make any difference to me what they think.

It was a pretty stupid idea, I know. But, I'm just trying to be honest about this thing.

I'm not trying to put on an act with them. Why should you have to with yours?

You mustn't criticize other people's hobbies.

The whole thing was a mistake. I'm terribly sorry for everything.

Never a dull moment, that's what I say, never a dull moment.

I never heard of anything so outrageous in all my life.

I'll appreciate it if you'll leave me strictly alone.

You got class. That's the kind of connection I'm looking for.

Why don't you come down off your high horse, babe.

If you don't mind, I don't need anyone to do me good.

You needn't waste your time trying to protect me. That won't help you.

I heard that you were in trouble and came over to see if I could help you out.

You blockhead. Do you know what you've done?

You're not a businessman. You're like a lion in the jungle.

What makes you think you're such a superior human being?

When your time comes, I doubt if a single tear will be shed over you.

Don't know what came over me. I didn't mean anything I said.

I won't stand for being humiliated like this.

You'll scream for help and suddenly find yourself alone in the world.

I've tried to talk to you many times about it, but I just couldn't get it out.

I've left my job and I'm going away tonight, and I… I love you.

I just thought I'd take a parting shot before I left.

I certainly have messed things up beautifully, haven't I?
