The Man She Loved
Chapter Four: Whiskey
A/N: So many thank you's to Sydney Andrews, Gwen Luthael, Zinck, Egyption Princess of 1290 bc and Phia the Ducati Chick for your kind words.
Her RHR had doubled within the last five minutes, her blood had begin to boil and her state of mind wasn't as accurate as it should be. So it came to no suprise when sick dispersed from her mouth and was emptied upon the floor.
''Ew.'' Link commented when seeing the vomit.
''Trinity, it would be better if you returned to your room and get some rest. We'll be in Zion shortly''
She didn't reply but nodded as her response and agreed to Morpheus's command.
When returning to her room, thoughts emerged in her head...the bad past which herself and Neo experienced...that night where their relationship changed forever...

She stood there, gawping at what Neo and Niobe were doing. Kissing. Something only Neo and Trinity did...until Annick arrived of course but Annick arrived after Trinity discovered Neo and Niobe. They finished the kiss after several seconds, still oblivious to Trinity standing there. Until of course Trinity made the awkward cough after getting a tickering sensation down her throat. This attracted their attention to her.
''Fuck'' Was all Trinity heard from Neo before she removed herself from the doorway and continued down the corridor, returning home.
''Wait up!'' He ran after her, like a bullet from a gun. She wasn't having any of it and purposly ignored him.
From then, he knew his relationship was in tatters. He knew his relationship was over...

''Trinity?'' He placed his hand on her shoulder with ease. This was his second attempt to comfort her.
She turned around, this time giving him the satisfaction of knowing she was actually paying attention to him.
''What?'' She replied spitefully. She was in no mood to open up to her ex-lover.
''Are you alright?'' He asked, concern written all over his face.
''I will be once you leave me alone.'' She didn't mean to be so harsh but she didn't feel 100 percent and she'd only just recieved a threat letter. Who would blame her for acting the way she did? Surely not Neo, after knowing what she had been through.

Soon enough, Morpheus and Co had driven the Neb safely back to Zion. As soon as the ship arrived in the dock and opened up it's doors, Trinity rushed out with her bags and made her long walk to her apartment, a newley made bachelorette. Neo would of asscorted her if she had allowed him to, but she went off too quickly.
When arriving in her room, the thoughts of Annick surrounded her, similar to what they had done when she was in her apartment in the Neb, except last time it was Neo she was thinking about. She dumped her bags on the floor and rushed to the cupboard to pour herself a glass of whiskey. One glass soon turned into two, then three...then four...then five...

''Third time lucky'' Neo said to himself as he knocked on Trinity's door. He was sick to concern and everyone seemed to know it, apart from the one he had concern for.
Trinity opened the door, she wasn't shocked at all to see Neo standing there.
''What?'' She hiccuped, wiping her sleeve over her lips.
''I came to check up on you.'' He felt so ashamed...he knew that she'd slam the door on him...again.
''Come in then'' She spoke, her words a little slurred from the continous drinking. He was suprised that she actually allowed him in.
''So...'' She began when she closed the door. ''What did you want again?''
''To...'' love you... ''To help you...'' He spoke, the words which he orginally wanted to say lost between other words.
''There's nothing at all the matter with me. I'm sure there's another reason for your appearance tonight'' She grinned which was so unusal. With all the excitement, her cough began to get worse and she had to sit on the bed to get over it.
''Sorry, slight interruption'' She got up from the bed, only to push Neo back on to it.
''What are you doing?'' He asked, confused.
''What does it look like?'' She questioned then leaned in to kiss him. He didn't object.
