When you think you know someone/4
Jack lay on the bed next to Neo lazily running her hand along the side of
his arm her mind swam with disjointed thoughts, she couldn't seem to relax
tonight thoughts of Riddick had began to plague her again.
Jack sat up suddenly " Neo, if you ever want to stop seeing me you can just damn well come out and say it to my face, don't ever just leave me without saying so first.promise you'll at least tell me first okay" Neo glanced over to jack watching her angelic features glisten with tears.
"Hey babe, what's brought this on.you know I aint ever gonna let you go, I just had alota business on you know how it gets, now come here so I can show you how much I don't want to leave you.ever"
Jack immediately brightened and lent over to kiss him inwardly cringing at how pathetic shed allowed herself to become.
Jack wasn't going to risk losing out again if she had to play the submissive girlfriend now and then to insure her against the solitude then that's just what shed have to do, and besides she could do a lot worse than Neo.
He wasn't so bad, okay he might be a little unreliable at times but he knew how to gratify when he was around and these days that was more than she could hope for, hope was definitely a Overrated luxury as far a jack was concerned.
A few hours later Neo stirred from his sleep and glanced at his chrono silently he got out of bed and dressed. Neo liked jack a lot and almost felt a pang of regret at the way things were gonna have to play out, he had been destined for a stint in slam city that was until he had a visit from some top mercs who were willing to get him off his stretch in return for his assistance in a not wholly unpleasant assignment.
So Neo did what he was told, he came to kalis and got friendly with a certain girl called jack.
It had been near impossible at first, jack would have none of his advances and she once even told him she found it impossible to trust anyone let alone a man.
She had not spoken aloud the reason but Neo knew he'd been informed of her past, hers and a certain Richard B Riddicks combined past.
That was his mission, to stay close to jack and wait, he knew sooner or later the legendary Riddick would show his face, and when he did the others would be ready.
Neo had met with one of the mercs at cals that day, she had been particularly attractive, which had not helped the situation any, he was sure cal had seen him with this woman, if that was true things could get nasty very quickly.
Jack had an explosive temper at times and it wouldn't be as if he could tell her the real reason he was there talking to a woman *oh yeah jack I'm just waiting to see if your ex protector shows up so I can turn him in*.
Maybe cal wouldn't say anything; maybe cal shouldn't get the chance. Neo spared a quick glance over to jacks still form then left.
