judith   looked   around   the   club,   everyone   grinding   against   each   other   as   the   speakers   blasted   with   the   appropriate   music.   now,   she   loved   to   party,   but   sneaking   off   with   roda   was   the   only   thing   she   wanted   to   do   at   the   moment.   "   yes,   let's   go   !   "   a   laugh   before   she   reached   for   the   whole   bottle   of   booze   and   grabbed   roda's   hand.   "   wait   !   "   she   stopped   midway,   "   i'm   lost,   where   are   we   going   ?!   "

                                    ' what're you doing here ? i'm grading papers until later . ' wasn't used to seeing familiar face ( or let alone , anyone ) at his place of work , especially at the late hour he had accidentally let pass by . ' i thought you'd be , out with your friends or somethin' . '

                                    ' how many times are we gonna go through this same bullshit before it sticks ? ' frustration grew higher & higher with every passing moment in others presence , and while perhaps it masked something different — she chose to ignore that fact . ' i want nothing to do with you . this — game we have going on ? 'ts over . i'm done . '

" stop saying you love me. " her voice was loud in the quiet of their kitchen, and she was tired — just in general, really. " you've shown me time and time again that you don't. "

" we had a deal. we look out for each other. we don’t fuck each other over, " his voice cut through the quiet of the night. even after all these months on leave, he still wasn't used to the silence. " seems like you'd forgotten that. "

" bold of you to assume i really care about what you do or don't do without me, " which was a lie, and she knew it, but keegan wasn't about to let the other get to her. " you can go do whatever you want. you have fun, though, sweetheart. "

she wasn't quite sure what she was expecting when she pulled the curtain back on the private room, but it certainly wasn't them. her heartbeat picked up, eyes widening for a moment before she smoothed her expression over. " heard you asked specifically for me, " she said softly, suddenly too aware of the skimpy outfit she had on.

" there is something wrong with you, " harley started, his voice giving away the exasperation that he felt. " you have to be the worst person i've ever met — you can't just come around here and expect everything to go your way just 'cause you asked for it! "
