Benny liked swing. And swing Rhoda did, right into suite. Her hips kept a heavy sway, her eyelids heavy and drooped--partially from the intoxication. âLook.â No hiâs, no helloâs; a hand went to her hip as she stood above him. âYou always say if I have questions, you have answers...why havenât we kissed?â The two words came out nearly as a hiss. Benny chased any pair of legs in the casino, flirted without care. But with her, it was a difference: a battle of the wits, no sappy eyes, no sentiment. âIs it because I should be a dead girl walking?â She rose a eyebrow, smirked when there was not a single bit of pride in her, âYou like to bug the girls that have clear heads? Hm?â Benny probably did have answers in the midst of this disturbing encounter. Some drunks could babble, tell lengthy stories--and yet Rhodaâs drunk self couldn't handle his stupid talking. âDonât answer.â The smirk was gone, the courier was now scowling. With no hesitance whatsoever, she took his face in hands, kissed her would-be murderer hard. And upon pulling away, with narrowed eyes...she felt proud. Like for the moment she felt in control in this uneven, Checker-led partnership.Â
