Sydney stood outside David Whele's room contemplating her feelings for him. She'd witnessed him doing awful things but still couldn't help the attraction she had to him.
'Am I brave enough to act on it? Doesn't he have enough on his plate?' she thought to herself but her internal monologue was stopped by the sound of gunfire.
Sydney didn't hesitate as she opened the door to reveal an Eightball advancing on David. Before Sydney could do anything, the Eightball disappeared over the balcony.
She watched as David screamed, "Shut up!" running his hands through his hair in anger.
Sydney approached him, "David, are you ok? Who are you yelling at?"
David Whele stopped and looked over, not realizing his guard had come into the room. "What are you doing in here and why did you just address me as David?" he questioned, his voice almost a hiss.
Sydney spoke before thinking, "You're going to interrogate me when I came in here to find out why you were shooting a gun? What kind of questions did you forget to ask the naked Eightball?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them. David Whele was not the man you want to talk back to.
David lunged forward his anger rising with each step, "How dare you speak to me like that?" He was on her in seconds, she threw her hand up onto his chest to stop him.
"Don't do something you'll regret. I don't think that Eightball was in here by accident. I think you may have been set up. I'm here to protect you, not hurt you," Sydney explained, swallowing as she felt how hard his heart was beating.
David took a deep breath, stepping back, "What do you propose we do? If you're right about being set up then there's not much we can do," he mused, wandering over to sit on the edge of his bed.
Sydney shook her head, "I don't know but I have something I need to do," she said, taking off her armour leaving her in just a black tank and combat pants.
'What are you doing?" David asked, "You should be back outside the door, standing guard."
Sydney shook her head, "If Claire is about to get rid of you then I need to do something in case the chance never comes around again," she explained walking over to him.
She watched his face as he sat there in confusion. She slowly climbed up onto the bed, straddling him. "Don't stop me," she whispered as she leaned down and placed her lips onto his.
David gasped in shock but reached his hands up, feeling every inch of her giving in completely...
