"UNCLE ELI! VERONICA'S HERE!" Alfia screamed into the cozy little house on PCH.
Veronica winced as the little girl screamed for her uncle. Does she have to scream like that? Jeez. Veronica turned her attention back to the little girl in front of her.
Alfia turned back to face Veronica and said, "he'll be right here. So, did you find out who took the money at the carnival?"
Veronica gave her a curious/amused look while saying, "yeah, I did. And the person, or rather, people who did it were really clever and smart about it."
Alfia flashed Veronica a wide grin. Moments later, Weevil appeared behind Alfia and told her to go inside.
"Bye Veronica!" Alfia said cheerfully as Weevil pushed her into the house.
"good bye Alfia!" Veronica waved.
Weevil looked Veronica up and down. After a few minutes of silence Veronica finally broke it.
"what are you staring at?"
"nothing, I was just waiting for the head tilt and the hair flip." Weevil said with a half smile.
"yeah, well not this time. I just had a quick question." Before Veronica could voice her question, Weevil interrupted her. "yeah… which will lead to a favor which usually involves me doing something illegal."
"Pssh. Like u care whether its illegal or not." She said half-amused.
Weevil gave a small chuckle and then said, "yeah. So what's your question?"
"can I borrow a few tools?" Weevil gave a loud chuckle. "are you kidding me? You came all the way over here to ask for 'a few tools'?" Weevil asked incredulously.
"yeah, well. I can't find 'certain tools' of mine and it's pretty damn vital to a case I'm working on. So can I borrow them?"
"yeah, fine. Come in." Weevil said moving aside to let her into the house.
"they're in my room. Come on." As the door closed, Wallace, who had dropped off Veronica, finally drove away.
Veronica followed Weevil into his room. All of the little kids stared as they went into Eli's room. Right when Veronica closed the door, Weevil pushed her against the door and kissed her passionately. When air became an issue, they broke the kiss, but not the embrace. Veronica Smiled slyly and said, "so you couldn't even wait until we got to bed this time huh? Damn, has it been that long?"
"hell yeah girl. I haven't seen you in two weeks. Where have you been anyways?"
"on a case. Its got me swamped. I mean, how do you find dirt on a cheating husband, when he just so happens to be a very respected PI himself? He covered his tracks pretty damn well, but I think I got something on him." Veronica told him as she let go of the embrace and walked to the bed and lied down on her side, making sure to leave room for Weevil to join her.
"yeah, well as long as you don't do anything dangerous. I don't feel like driving to the hospital at 3 in morning again because you got hurt." Weevil said sternly.
Veronica could tell that he was worried about her and she liked it. He walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. Weevil reached over and swept a strand of hair out of her face.
"I'm just worried about you V. I can't stand seeing you with bruises and cuts everywhere again."
"I know. I'll be careful. I promise." Veronica smiled up at him.
Weevil knew very well that she had no control over what happens on her cases, but she's quick enough on her feet to not get herself killed. At least, that's what he hopes.
He smiles down at her and says, "so are you sure Fennel doesn't suspect anything?"
"I don't think so. But he has been saying that I've been looking happier since Duncan left."
With the mention of Duncan, Veronica's smile visibly faltered. Veronica knew that Weevil caught it because at the mention of Duncan, he stood up and walked to his closet. A few minutes later, he came out in his boxers and a white wife beater.
He leaned against the threshold of the closet and said with a grin, "happier huh?"
Veronica smiled, walked over to him and gently kissed his lips. "happier than I have ever been."
Weevil's grin turned into a full fledged smile and he bent down to kiss her. The kiss intensified and they moved over to the bed. Veronica pushed him off of her. Weevil gave her a curious look.
Veronica said, "maybe before we start this make out sesh, you should lock the door."
Weevil gets up and walks towards the door, shacking his head all the way. Veronica watched him with amusement. Weevil turned around and saw her on the verge of laughing.
"yeah, laugh it up Mars. Just laugh it up. I'm glad I could be your amusement."
Veronica sat up and pulled him down on her. "yeah, I bet you could be other things for me too." Veronica said sensually.
Weevil smiled and kissed her sweetly. He pulled away and said, "baby, with you, I feel like I could be anything."
Veronica understood all sides of that statement and she smiled. This is where she was meant to be, safe in the arms of one of the most dangerous men in Neptune.
