Lexi mounted the enormous spiral staircase leading to the V.I.P. booth with the grace and gait of a panther. She rushed to the booth which she had been occupying to retrieve her things, and turned to make a run for it. She hadn't had the level of concentration needed to properly read the boys mind, but what little she did read was enough to unnerve her. She knew he was here for her, and she had an idea of who sent him. Rounding the corner leading to the exit a lazy voice called out to her "Leaving so soon beautiful?". Lexi turned to the unrecognizable voice and saw that it was the boy who had been stalking her like prey in the club.
Though her first instinct was to run, Lexi relaxed her stance, gave a half-smile and said "Well I was going to, but if you can give me a reason to stay…..I might be persuaded". Pyro's eyes darkened, and his mouth formed a similar smile to that which her own lips wore, "I can think of thousands of reasons for you to stay-".
"Well let's have 'em then", Lexi snapped in retort. Pyro chuckled a little, then let his eyes travel over her face and down to her legs once more. Caught in his trance again Pyro didn't notice the look of fierce determination that had overthrown the smirk on Lexi's face. Soon the lavender in her eyes became a fierce purple shade with flecks of silver swirling about them, and the silver streaks in her hair seemed to have a constant glimmer running through them. Pyro's eyes wandered back up to her face, and everything was suddenly back to normal.
"So you want the reasons….." then Pyro trailed off, he pulled out his Zippo lighter, once again effortlessly opening and closing the lid, igniting and snuffing the flame. Lexi leaned on the wall close to Pyro's head and whispered "Oh I would love to know…unfortunately we don't have time for that this evening…".
"Oh really we don't?"
"Nope….much too busy tonight"
"May I inquire as to what you'll be doing that will be keeping you so 'busy'?"
"Well, I have to do my laundry, wash my hair, feed the cat, and oh yeah, kick your ass"
With that last remark Lexi snatched the customized lighter out of Pyro's hand, she then flicked open the lid and ignited the flame. Pyro watched her with a mix of amusement and confusion, did she really think she could scare him with flames? Pyro reached his hand out to summon the flames back under his own control, when instead of coming to him the flames hovered above Lexi's palm.
