Gem sighed almost contentedly, turned up the CD player, which was playing a song by Basement Jaxx and turned back to painting a giant fleur de Lys in red over the corner of her white walls.
"WHERES YOUR HEAD AT" she yelled with the music, reaching up to try and paint the tip of her design. If only bobby was here, he'd disappeared shortly after letting her borrow and old shirt of his to wear over a pair of pajama shorts she'd bought for sleepwear in the summer, perfect gear for a messy activity like painting.
Suddenly she yelped as she felt a cold weight at the back of her neck, she swung round hitting bobby playfully on the arm "DON'T DO That!" she yelled laughing, "you nearly gave me a heart attack" He was holding the offensive can of coke he'd placed on her neck and it's not so evil twin, one in each hand.
"I'm so sorry" he said with that adorable grin that made him look soo… cute "what can I possibly do to make you forgive me"
"well or a start you can give me one of those cokes you abandoned me for" Gem smiled, suddenly aware of just how thirsty she was. "One of them was for you anyways" he grinned, passing her the coke. "still need some help decorating?" he asked
"Yeah I can't easily reach the top of the designs, and then I need to install a light, and I'm terrible at electronics and not tall enough to reach the plug" Gem said, cracking open the coke and taking a grateful swig, "thanks for the coke and the use of the old shirt by the way" she said smiling at him.
"Your welcome" he said with a laugh "better than leaving it to rot under the bed huh?"
"heh" gem snorted "at least you have a bed, be thankful", they both laughed
"So, you want me to help you with the highest bit of these designs and install the light for you and that's it?"
"Yeah, that all I need done till the furniture arrives, gonna be working on some artwork to go on the white blind for the window over a few days I think, and later today I gotta catch some time in the danger room and make a phone call"
"Cool, need help with the danger room session"
"Your more than welcome if you're passing by at the time I need as much help as I can get" gem said with a chuckle, taking another sip from the coke.
"Right then, lets get started here" bobby said, plucking the paintbrush gently from her hand and easily reaching the last piece of the design, finishing it with one careful stroke. He then did the same with the identical design on the other wall.
"Great, now the last question is, can you reach the light fixtures up their on the ceiling with a chair 'cos, I can't" Gem said leaning back against the wall.
"Well let's see" bobby said grinning, "we have one chair, one light bulb lamp shade and accessories, plus one person taller than Gemma, and I think this just might work ladies and gents"
"Funny bobby really funny." gem laughed, stopping as he mounted the chair with his back too her, he had SUCH a cute ass (whoa girl, full mental stop, does he even know he's doing that?). Gem tried to contain her disappointment as bobby dropped from the chair and turned to face her.
"So you said you wanted to get some danger room training in"
"You bet I do, I'm hardly much use if some super villain attacks the mansion right now until I get some more practice, and if there's one thing I hate it's being useless"
"Well its, 6 pm now, so if we train for a hour? Then stop wasn't their a call you wanted to make, ohh and if its to bitch out Mathew can I help?"
Gem burst out laughing, "no it's not to bitch out Mathew but if I ever feel like giving him a good haunting, maybe on Halloween, I won't let you miss out on the fun."
