SO this is basically a sucky chapter, but hilarity and romance will ensue eventually, just have to get this out of the way first
Sadly, I don't own nething or neone, although I wouldn't object to owning Ranger
I sat on Mr. Black's porch with aforementioned skip passed out next to me. I spent the ten minutes I had wisely, I thought about Ranger. By the time the black SUV pulled up to Mr. Black's house, I had come to two conclusions. One was that I needed to get something other than Ranger to think about, the second was that I needed a new dress.
Since I really couldn't do anything about the first conclusion, I decided that a trip to Macy's was in order. But first, I had to help whichever merry man stepped out of aforementioned black SUV haul my skip to the pokey. Turns out they sent Hal. Great, a guy I stunned with his own stun gun gets to help me haul another guy I stunned with my stun gun to the cop shop. Life is weird.
It was easy enough, and after 15 minutes and two words, I had a body slip to trade in for a check to trade in for a dress. I would have skipped into the office if it wouldn't have gotten me some disbelieving stares. The fact that a black porche was parked in front of the office had nothing to do with it. Nope nothing at all
I walked in and slapped my check onto Connie's desk. There was no batman in sight, so I figured he was in talking to Vinnie. Connie and Lula were to busy fanning themselves to say anything other than commenting on how hot Ranger was that day. Connie signed my check, and I sped out of the door before I had to deal with Ranger, or rather before my hormones had a chance to react to Ranger.
My next stop was Macy's. It was rare that I came here without Lula, but tonight was going to be slightly different, and I really didn't need her influence on my clothing choices. It was going to be hard enough getting through a distraction job scantily clothed without jumping ranger. God forbid he start something because of my outfit.
I was just finishing selecting my outfit for the evening when my cell rang with none other than the batman theme song. Twice in one day, man my luck was really changing. I f he said goodbye this time, I might think it was the sign of the apocalypse.
"Yo" I answered, just for the heck of it
"Babe" he replied "Distraction is off. Tank just caught the guy."
Well, now I can spend my money on ice cream. "Oh. O.k." wow I am the mistress of eloquence lately. I wanted to say something, anything, but then I heard the disconnect. What the crap was going on? Usually he says something to indicate that he is going to hang up. I think I need ice cream. Yep ice cream would solve my problems, or at least take my mind off of them. But I think I should eat dinner first. I checked my watch. Perfect. I could still make dinner at my parent's house.
Alright that was definitely not the smartest decision I have ever made. Definitely not a good idea to talk to your mother so soon after breaking your "last hope for a normal life's nose. And my grandmother wanted the whole scoop. She also wanted to know if I had hooked up with "that bounty hunter with the great package". Pshh yeah like if that had happened I'd be eating dinner here. Nope. If I had hooked up with Ranger…. Ok so not going to think about that. It was dangerous to my health. Because I wasn't going to hook up with Ranger until I was in a relationship with Ranger, and since Ranger didn't do relationships….
Eye twitch going full force I pulled into a 7-11 grabbed some Ben and Jerry and headed home. After eating a full carton of B&J I felt slightly ill. No matter. I had had a hard day. It was time to go to sleep.
AN: Ok this chapter sucks out loud. But the next one is going to be WAY better. I promise, hang in there
