Chapter 4
Beksa dragged herself out of bed, and crawled over to the mirror. Her face was streaked with black lines from her make-up, her hair looked like it had been charged with electricity, and her eyes were puffy. She splashed her face with water, turned around, and screamed.
"What the hell? Why are YOU here?" She screamed, and ran forward to hit Ace Rimmer. He was leaning against a wall on the far side of the room, wearing a dressing gown, with a smug look on his face. He didn't stop her from hitting him, she whacked him one and he fell to the floor. He pulled himself back up again, wiping the blood from his mouth. Beksa had a look of murder on her face, and Ace was sure that she was still drunk from the night before.
"Why can't you just leave me alone? I hate you Ace Rimmer! Now get out before I hit you again, only harder this time!" She growled at him. Ace grinned, and grabbed her arm. Beksa held her fist to his face, but he did nothing. "Leave, NOW" She spat at him, and still, he did nothing. But then, he pulled her close, and kissed her.
Beksa's head was screaming, she dragged herself away, and stood flat against a wall. She was shaking with fear. Why had he done this? Why hadn't he got the message? Did he really love her that much? She stared into his eyes; his love-sickness was on an all time high. He moved towards her, but stopped again when her phone rang.
She picked it up, not breaking eye contact with Ace "Hello? Beksa Riley speaking" Ace sat down on the bed, and wiped more blood from his mouth. "Yes Bongo, he's here, I'll hand him over." She handed the phone to Ace, and ran into the bathroom.
She leaned against the locked door, and held her head in her hands. She pounded her head, trying to remember what she had been doing yesterday. She'd spoken to Ace on the phone, and agreed to go to dinner with him to talk over the mission, then it was all a blur until she'd got up that morning. She pressed her ear to the door, and listened to what Ace was saying.
"Yes, she was with me last night. Why?" "She was needed! I needed her as well, for reasons that I'm not going to divulge in now. What was she needed for?" "Bongo, I told you. Never disturb me after 7:30. That's my personal time"
The fog in Beksa's brain suddenly cleared, and she collapsed out cold on the floor.
