Chapter 10 - I'll Only Apologize Once!
Vincent, leaning on the back wall of the main party room with hands in his jacket pocket, smiles with a slight grin at the thought of what just happened back in the kitchen. He keeps his grin low considering there are parents nearby and not wanting them to get the wrong idea.
Alyssa steps out of the kitchen, regretting the decision to approach her perverted co-worker and mentally slapping herself for what she was about to do. The brunette turns to see the man in purple at the back of the main room. Forcing herself not to gag, she takes a deep breath. "Here we go…" she groans and walks up to him, keeping her hands to her sides, clenching them tightly into fists while looking down to avoid his gaze. Stopping next to him Alyssa turns so her back is resting against the wall. After hesitating for a bit, she finally forces herself to speak up. "Hi."
The male chuckles at her attitude and behavior. "Should I move again so I don't smog up your air, princess?~" he asks with a smug grin.
Taking a deep breath, she lets it out quickly and continues. "Ignoring that… I'm here to say… I… I'm sorry."
Vincent raises an eyebrow and looks at his frustrated co-worker. "Excuse me?" he asks, seeming genuinely confused.
Alyssa keeps gaze out his vision as she glares down the hall. "I'm sorry… f-for what I s-said before…" she mutters out again.
Pausing for a moment to process this, he asks, "Could you turn and say that to my face?" His smile was more leveled out and leaning on one leg more than the other in curiosity.
The female's fists clenched tighter, feeling her nails dig into her skin but not enough to draw blood. She turns around slowly to face him directly and looks up at him with a slight glare. "I'm...sorry…" she says coldly for the third time.
Another pause. "You look more like you're about to kill me rather than apologizing," Vincent comments, then looks away and back toward the party crowd.
'Believe me, I really want to…' Alyssa thinks to herself, then takes another deep breath before letting it out slowly. "Fine…" Relaxing her expression so the night guard could give him a soft smile; doing her very best not to show any aggravation towards the male in purple. "I'm really sorry for what I said back in the kitchen."
Vincent turns his head to look back at her, scanning her over for a moment, then he smiles, more than smirks, towards her. "All is forgiven, doll face," he chuckles.
The brunette looks away, quickly dropping the smile as it merges back into anger. 'And he ruined it…' she thinks in her head and crosses her arms.
The male takes a hand out of his pocket and quickly wraps it around his co-worker's side, pulling her close to him playfully. "Come on, you can't change who I am." he snickers with an entertained smile.
Alyssa immediately feels the blush returning to her cheeks, then squeaks, "Let go!" Ripping his hand off from around her side, the female backs away from the man in violet and glares at him. "I apologized, but that doesn't give you the right to touch me!"
The guard snickers at her reaction and moves his hand back into his pants pocket. "I was just hugging ya~" Then he smirks a bit and asks slyly, "What's with the blush?~"
The female employee growls lowly at him. "Don't make me take back my apology! This will be the first and last time I'm doing this!"
"Heh heh~ Sure, doll." Leaning against the wall once more, Vincent offers his co-worker some advice. "Anyways, you should probably get some sleep before the night shift starts."
Still flustered over what just happened, Alyssa says quietly. "Whatever… Is there a better place to rest than the employee room…? Mainly... one with a lock…?" the female asks, looking back at him from out the corner of her eye threateningly.
Vincent's smirk grows. "Not really, but you've just put some "nice" thoughts in my head~" he comments with a chuckle.
Resisting the urge to flip him off, knowing that there are kids and parents that could be watching, Alyssa shakes her head, giving up fighting back. "I'm going to the private room. There's no parties there today…" she informs him and walks past the male employee. Walking out of the main room, she gets stopped by the sound of Vincent's voice.
"Hey, Pirate's Cove isn't being used today~" he says and pulls a key out of his pocket. "Here's the key to lock the door~"
The brunette stops and turns to look at him with widened eyes. Realizing he's most likely going to want something for it, Alyssa hangs her head and groans. Standing back up straight, she turns around and walks back over to the smug-ass male. Stopping in front of him and holding out her hand, Alyssa asks with an annoyed look, "May I have the key… Please?"
Vincent chuckles, loving her reaction, sets the key into the female's hand. "Here you go, sweetheart~ Better set an alarm, else I'll get the spare off Mr. Fazbear and have some fun later~" he tells her with an evil grin.
Gripping the key tightly, Alyssa glares back at the pervert. "If I see your appendage anywhere near me, I will jam this key into your empty chest where your heart should be!" Packing the key into her pocket, she adds sarcastically, "But thank you for your generous offer to help wake me up," then turns away and walks off, hearing Vincent snicker as she heads towards Pirate's Cove.
