"We finally fall apart and we break each other's hearts." - Imagine Dragons
"Rox you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Eggsy sighed, "you've been fine since we got on the plane, could I have a different word please?"
"Go to hell, Eggsy."
"Hey I.."
"Agents if you would please refasten your seatbelts, we are now beginning our decent to headquarters." Merlin's voice announced through the speakers.
Roxy glared out the window, watching the familiar sight of the mansion come into view. Eggsy on the other hand, kept his eyes trained on her. When he and Merlin first devised this plan he knew she would be angry, but he never expected her to react the way she did. His cheek was still slightly tender where she had slapped him before they had left the burlesque club. Although, despite her intense anger with him she had still accepted his suit jacket when he draped it around her shoulders once they were outside. She hadn't bothered buttoning the jacket, not giving a damn that the black sequin bra and mini skirt were on full display.
The plane touched down safely and Roxy was in a hurry to getaway from the two men that had been to blame for her suffering the past few months.
"Roxy!" Eggsy shouted after her retreating form as she bolted down the stairs and across the landing strip to the mansion. He groaned slightly in frustration before sprinting after her.
Once she was inside the mansion Roxy started towards the sparring rooms, knowing full well that he was following her. She had just rounded the final corner when she ran into Rufus.
"The fuck are you doing here? Aren't all recruits supposed to be in bed by now?" She inquired.
"I was just on my way there, although I'm very glad I'm out a bit late." He grinned as he raked his eyes up and down her body taking in her slim form and lack of clothing.
In her haste to get away from Eggsy she had stripped off his coat somewhere in the mansion and now stood before Rufus in nothing but the sequin bra and black mini skirt. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in an attempt to cover the amount of cleavage she had showing.
"Well if you're quite finished eye fucking me I'd like to go change out of my mission attire."
"Of course," Rufus grinned as he moved to the side so she could pass by only to cat call her in the process. "Talk about a tall drink of Roxy." He grinned.
Her patients had been wearing thin all evening and his rude gesture just set her over the mark.
Quick as ever Roxy spun around, grabbed two fist fulls of Rufus' training suit and slammed him against the wall.
"I have had quite the night and I'm not in the mood to put up with a rich little bastard like you."
Rufus only grinned at her threats.
"Keep in mind I'm your superior and I have no problem informing Merlin of the way you treat your female colleagues."
Just then Eggsy rounded the corner and Roxy let go of Rufus and began pacing.
"She attacked me," Rufus smirked at Eggsy.
Roxy spun around and started toward Rufus again but Eggsy caught her in his arms before she could do anything more.
"Take it easy,Rox." He tried to calm her to no avail. He pushed her body behind his before turning back to Rufus.
"You might want to leave before I change my mind and let her beat the living daylights out of you."
Rufus smirked and went on his way back to the training barracks.
"Bastard." Roxy gritted and jerked her arm away from Eggsy.
Eggsy rolled his eyes at her remark and guided her into the sparing room. Once they were both inside he locked the door behind him and dropped his suit jacket on the mat.
"Alright Rox you wanna fight then let's fight." He shrugged his shoulders and squared up to her.
"You're kidding right."
"Rox you nearly took Rufus' head off. Don't get me wrong I don't much care for the guy either but you're angry at me, so take it out on me."
"Fine." Roxy sighed,kicked her heels off, and squared up to him.
"Don't hold back." Eggsy smirked.
"Wasn't gonna." Roxy rolled her eyes and took off in a sprint towards him.
She tackled Eggsy to the ground easily and after a brief scuffle she had him pinned on his back as she sat atop of him, one leg on either side of his torso.
"Pinned ya." She smirked
Eggsy rolled his eyes and sat up quickly knocking her back and scrimmaging with her again. Just as the time before Roxy pinned him easily.
"Pinned you again." She huffed slightly out of breath.
Eggsy lay still for a moment,catching his breath and gazing up at her. Without warning he placed his hands on either side of her waist and sat up so that they were nose to nose.
"Feel better now that you've kicked my ass a multitude of times." He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Roxy busied herself with looking everywhere around the room but at him.
"Rox?"
Her eyes had begun to fill with tears, tears she tried so hard to hold at bay.
"Roxy?" He whispered and brought one hand up to cup her cheek.
"Don't." She choked out.
"Please, Eggsy just don't."
"Talk to me." He whispered.
Her eyes snapped to his and she managed to choke out, "you hurt me. You swore to me during training you'd never hurt me. But you did."
"I'm so sorry Rox."
"I could handle Percival dying. I processed his death in my own way. It might not have been a way you and Merlin agreed with, but I was coping. But I couldn't handle losing you, losing my best friend two weeks after I loss my mentor."
"I'm so sorry Rox. I thought it would help..."
"I thought my name was the last thing you said. I was haunted for weeks trying to figure out what you were trying to tell me."
"I tried to see you, but Merlin..."
"I don't care Eggsy. You trying to fix me only made things worse."
The tears she had been fighting so hard to hold back began to spill over and slide down her cheeks.
"Hey, don't cry." Eggsy whispered and began to brush the tears away.
"Don't."
"Rox."
"You're not my boyfriend. I don't love you, Eggsy." She whispered her voice breaking on the last phrase.
She jerked her face out of his hands and tried not to notice how his expression resembled a puppy that had been kicked.
"Rox..."
"Stop. I don't want to see you, I can't be near you right now."
She tried to get up he tightened his hold on her waist before she could.
"You and I both know you're lying, but I'll go along with it because I know I hurt you and violated your trust. But I'll be waiting right here when you're done being pissed at me."
She pulled away when a key turning in the lock caught her attention. A moment later Merlin walked in looking quite puzzled as to why a half naked Roxy was sitting on top a frazzled Eggsy.
"Agents, if you aren't too busy with your hormonal rages, I need you both for a mission briefing. It appears a Mr. Bodenhammer has escaped our custody and is on his way to an opera gala in France."
Roxy wordless stood and exited the room but not before glaring at Merlin.
"I take it she figured out our plan."
"Yep, and she's pretty pissed about it. So for your own safety I'd steer clear of her."
"Looks like this mission will be fun for you." He grinned down at Eggsy.
"Yeah, if she doesn't kill me first."
Guys I'm so sorry this update took so long! I moved into my sorority's house and had to get ready for fall rush (which is very time consuming) and my classes just started back so I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get everything organized! Thank you all so much for being patient and I hope you all enjoyed the update! I'll try my best to see that the next update won't take too long!
