"Not too shabby Eames." Andy mentioned, looking around the warehouse. I nodded, nervously. Why the fuck did I say Ariadne? I turned to him, holding my hand up for him to stop.
"Um, Andy, wait here." He nodded and I walked furthur into the warehouse were Ariadne's office was based. I shut the door behind me and turned to her. She and Arthur were standing over the desk, going over some papers. Oh crap, they were holding hands. I sighed at the utterly sickening PDA and they both turned around.
"Guys, my brother Andy is here. Do you want to come and meet him?" Arthur looked suspicious.
"Does he know?" He asked, eyebrows raised. I nodded and he looked slightly more relaxed.
"Alright then, let's go." He started to walk out, Ariadne in tow. I stood in front of them, my eyes wide with a slight fear. Ariadne looked confused and Arthur looked aggrevated.
"Do you want us to go or not?" he asked, annoyed. I cleared my throat.
"Yeah, but I have a...favour."
"What?" he asked, even more annoyed. I coughed awkwardly and tried to spit out the words.
"Eames! What?" he practically hissed. Ariadne quietly laughed at his annoyed tone. I decided if there was anytime to ask, it would have to be now.
"Ok, basically my brother has this weird obsession with me getting a girlfriend so on the way over I told him I did, but the thing is I don't, so he asked me who she was and I thought of the first girls name that came out of my head, so I said Ariadne, and now he's waiting outside to meet us, so I'm gonna need Ariadne to be my girlfriend for the night." I spat out, gasping for air at the end. It was silent. Suddenly, Arthur let out a long laugh. He thought I was joking. Ariadne on the other hand was not so amused.
"Nice one Eames...good joke!" He laughed. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. He was always serious, why not tonight when I acually needed him to be.
"Arthur, I don't think he's joking..." Ariadne said. Arthur looked at the expression on her face, then wiped the smile off his. He shoot a look of death at me, and for a second I was acually considering grabbing my gun for protection.
"You want to borrow my girlfriend?" he growled. I would have laughed if I wasn't so sure that he was going to kill me. I swallowed.
"Just for tonight." I bargined. He shook his head furiously.
"Absolutly not." he said. Ariadne was in her thoughts, and she suddenly let go of his hand. Arthur looked at his empty hand.
"What's in it for us?" she said. I laughed. Ariadne's voice had become serious, but her face was wearing a smirk that I would be proud of.
"Ariadne? You're not seriously considering this?" Arthur said in half shock, half anger. She nodded her head.
"Well, think about it." She turned to him. "He's going to have to give us something in return." Arthur looked confused for a moment, then he realised that he would get something out of it. He smiled slyly.
"What do you want?" I asked in defeat. Arthur and Ariadne looked at each other in unison.
"You don't come into any dreams with us for a week." I let my jaw drop slightly.
"THAT'S BLOODY UNFAIR!" I cried, sounding like a child. Arthur stepped forward.
"Do you know how annoying you are in the dream world?" He yelled, throwing his hands into the air. I threw my hands in the air as well, crying out in frustration. How could they expect me not to go into the dreams with them for a week? I could imagine how bored I would be.
"Do you want me to help you, or not?" Ariadne asked. I sighed.
"Yes. Deal." I offered my hand out and sealed the deal with both of them.
"Right then, let's go." Arthur grabbed my shoulder. I turned around and he got right into my face. His breathing increased out of anger.
"Listen Eames. No kissing, touching, dirty talk or..." he looked around. "...you know." I raised my hands in defence.
"Chill, I won't do anything." I laughed. After pushing him away, I looked at Ariadne.
"Come on sweetheart." I joked, offerring my hand. Just to annoy Arthur, when she gave it to me, I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it lightly. Arthur growled under his breath. I laughed and directed them out to where Andy was standing.
"Andy, this is Arthur." I said motioning to Arthur. He held his hand out politely and Andy shook it back, but much harder and more fiercely. When they had finished, Andy ruffled his hair the way he always used to do to me. Arthur tensed and curled his lip as his perfectly groomed hair was fucked up.
"Thanks." he muttered. I gentley pushed Ariadne forward.
"Andy, this is Ariadne...my girlfriend." Andy grinned like a fucking idiot and grabbed Ariadne in her arms and englufed her in a bear hug. Ariadne cried out in shock. Arthur forced himself to be rooted to the ground, but his jaw tightened so hard that I swear he was so close to breaking his teeth.
"It's really wonderful to meet you. I'm glad someone could finally convince my brother to calm it down." He said, releasing Ariadne.
"I guess I have." She smiled awkwardly. I grabbed Ariadne's hand, which gripped mine a little too tight.
"So, tell me." Arthur smirked. "What was Eames like as a kid?"
"Eames?" Andy asked, confused. My stomach lurched. I looked at him and shook my head, a small movement.
"Oh, right. Eames was the funniest kid. Couldn't hold a fight in his life! One time, he got beat up by this girl Sarah-"
"OH MY GOD! Eames got beat up by a girl?" Arthur cried. He suddenly burst into laughter. I rolled my eyes as he, Ariadne and Andy practically fell onto the floor laughing.
"Alright alright, enough with the jokes."
"He's right." Andy said getting up. "So how long have you been together?" He asked, motioning to me and Ariadne.
Before I had a chance to say anything, Ariadne jumped in.
"2 months." She said. I felt my eyebrows raise. I saw Arthur in the corner, sulking like a child. I suddenly realised that he was asking me to give up a week of dreaming. I had Ariadne for the rest of the night. I could have a little fun with the stick-in-the-mud. I smiled and wrapped my arm tightly around Ariadne's waist. I felt her body tense under my touch. I heard Arthur's short intake of breath.
"Yeah, only 2 months and I love her to pieces." I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Ariadne shivered slightly under my lips.
"Ok, time to go home!" Arthur cried out. "I'll drive Ariadne home-" he said, grabbing her hand. I pulled her waist tighter.
"No, no, I'll drive my girlfriend home." I smirked. "You can take Andy to his hotel. Come on Ariadne."
I swear, Arthur's eyes were on fucking fire.
