She reached out her hand, balled it up into a fist and rapped her knuckles against the red door. She was slightly out of breath from climbing the stairs with the gigantic pizza box.
They always live on the top fucking floor, she muttered to herself as she waited for them to answer.
Just then the door swung open and a dark haired woman angrily shouted back over her shoulder "Oh perfect, the pizza is here now. That was also a waste of my time and my fucking money, wasn't it?"
"I didn't realise you would be ordering food, Roe" came a sharp reply from inside the apartment.
Elizabeth shifted her weight from one foot to the other, slightly impatient yet slightly cautious at the same time. This situation seemed a little volatile and it made her hesitant and worried but she wasn't sure who for.
The woman was angry, that much was evident and she was clearly upset with the anger, as there were marked tear stains left in wobbly lines down her face. The male looked tall, over 6 foot Elizabeth guessed. He was broad shouldered and he seemed equally distressed, pacing just inside the door now.
Elizabeth wasn't sure what to do, she stood there in between the pair as they snarled at each other before 'Roe' she assumed, turned her back and went to get her money. That left Elizabeth standing there holding the pizza box with the tall guy who looked pretty sheepish. He smiled weakly at Elizabeth before dropping his gaze, shuffling his converse clad feet and rubbing his neck with his hand.
God, this is awkward. Elizabeth just wanted to get out of there ASAP.
When 'Roe' came back to the door she practically thew the money at Elizabeth and snatched the pizza from her slamming the door in her face.
"Charming" Elizabeth stuck her middle finger up at the door before stuffing the money in her pocket and heading back down to her car.
She sat in her car eating her own pizza for about 10 minutes before 'tall guy' made an appearance outside of the building. His head was bowed and he walked away quickly.
Elizabeth was intrigued, maybe he had killed 'Roe', so she shouted after him "Hey, tall guy.. Tall guy"
He turned to face her with red stains all over his shirt. Elizabeth's eyes blew wide and she stumbled "Is that…"
"Pizza, yeah, she threw it all at me, every single piece"
