Chapter 2: The Girl with the Funny Hat.
Passing his living room the woman with the wild pink hair had suddenly disappeared and the place was now deathly silent. It hadn't been more than an hour since he had come home to be pushed into being a mechanic and now a doorman.
"I didn't mean to bother you… I was just wondering if you had seen a certain woman known for getting into way too much trouble for her own good." The voice said as he stepped through the pile of debris. The voice was almost sing song and had quite a cute little accent that could sooth even the most savage of beasts, yet with the way she spoke she almost sounded like an annoyed mother looking for her rowdy child. Standing in the fading orange sunlight was the Sheriff of Piltover in her typical unusual uniform that consisted of a purple dress which seemed a little short if you asked him and that ridiculous hat that drew the most attention.
"Evening Caitlyn, what brings you around these parts?" He said with a dash of charm that of course never worked on her, watching an annoyed look spread across her face.
"Jayce, we've been through this before and you know why I'm here. Everyone in town is talking about your front gate and why it looks like it was made out of paper. That and your door with the large Fist Prints that I highly doubt you put there yourself." She retorted with her arms crossed as she attempted to peer past him and into the home. Scanning the darkness behind him she finally let out a sigh and brought her arms down, "Please just let me inside so I can talk to her. I wouldn't ask you if I didn't need to." Ouch, he was always a sucker for women that were in need so stepping aside he motioned for her to come inside.
"Jeeze I didn't expect the 'Hero of Piltover' to be such a pussy! Should've just told cupcake that I wasn't here… or at least making up some sorta story to get her to leave." A scratchy voice called out causing the both of them to reach up and rub their temples in unison. Walking into the living room she had reappeared and was now kicked up comfortably on his couch eating what looked like his dinner. Taking a deep breath he left the two alone and made his way back to the workshop, dragging his hammer on the wooden floor. "Yeah get back to work dweeb, those things aren't going to magically fix themselves." Vi certainly was on a roll and once the man was far enough away she set down the bowl and glared to her counterpart and watched as she took off her hat and let out a large sigh.
"Do you even care that you barged into this man's home, destroyed his gate and his front door and on top of all that forced him to fix those gloves of yours? On the clock of all things." Caitlyn said looking harshly to the woman in a rather judgmental way. But the woman on the couch shrugged and placed her hands behind her head and smirked.
"Oh, you mean Jayce? It's cool he's got sort of a crush on me and I'm just using it to my advantage. Can't a girl have nice things nowdays?" She responded mockingly which only further made her boss shake her head and get even madder than she originally had been.
"He's not just some mechanic you can dump your stuff on and how do you even know if he has a crush on you?" Her voice squeaked ever so lightly annoyed that Vi would even claim such a thing. Jayce was a sophisticated man and would hardly associate any sort of love interest with a woman who was closer to a man if anything. But with her statement a grin suddenly spread across Vi's face.
"Of course he has a crush on me. I mean I might be a little on the rough side but at the end of the day I'm all woman." She emphasized her words by running her hands down her sides accenting her womanly physique and loving the flush of red that overtook her boss. Yet at the same time Jayce had sauntered back into the room catching the tail end of her sentence and watching her hands slide down her body.
"Did I miss something? You know what… nevermind. Vi your gloves are pretty much scrap metal and if you want them repaired it's gonna be a full overhaul with materials I don't have here. I made a list of things you'll have to grab and buy but don't expect me to fixing these things every time you get them scratched." His hand reached behind and scratched the back of his head as he offered the small piece of paper to whoever was going to take it. However something rather unexpected happened, the Sheriff turned around and grasped the paper lightly, her hands clasped around his as she leaned closer than he had ever been to her.
"You just buy whatever you need and I'll be sure to reimburse you for all of it. Vi being ready sometime soon would be for the best so do you think if you perhaps rushed it a little you could be done sooner? For Me?" The last two words were almost whispered into his ear as she leaned upwards to be closer to his face and released her grip on the paper and seemed pleased with what had just transpired. Jayce was in shock, all of his charm he had tried on Cait had never worked and suddenly she had turned the tables leaving him paler than he had been. The woman on the couch however was attempting to keep her rage and envy under control. With just a few little words she had wrapped the man around her finger, something she couldn't do with all of her might. Standing up quickly she pushed past the two and stormed outside with her face a dark shade of crimson. Caitlyn had done exactly what she wanted and placed the funny hat atop her head and adjusted it slightly for the perfect fit before offering a wave to the man. "Thank you so much Jayce. I'm sure Vi won't be back to bother you anytime soon." With that she departed.
"What the hell just happened? Did I… Was she… Do I even want to know!?"
