It was midday, Trixie was in the middle of the room in an indian position, stretching her arms above her head as she breathed evenly and kept her eyes closed. Her door was shut, incase Danny or one of his friends came by the bar and looked up the stairs and into the room. When she bent to her left she smiled as she felt her back popping and streching when a knock came to her door. She knew it could be one of four people if they…yep there it was, another knock after the first that was only one knock. Their way of letting her know it was them.
"Yes?" She glanced up as Murphy walked in, she had started to like his presence around her and after three days of being with them she thought he liked her presence as well, he always found some silly excuse to come and see her if he wasn't working, like now.
"Hi, what ya doing?"
"Exercising, or yoga really."
"Does it really work?" Trixie chuckled as she let out a deep breath and stood in one movement, not even touching the ground.
"I don't know, could I be this flexible if it didn't?" She grinned as she bent over backwards, bringing her feet over her head in a full and well executed back flip before standing and holding her arms out to her sides. Murphy smiled, he had never seen a woman do that before, but his thoughts were staring to fill up with what she could use that move for, when he shook his head and sat on her bed.
"That's a pretty neat trick. Wish I could do that."
"I think you could, if you practiced. There are some men gymnast out there."
"Naw not me lass, anyways, I came by to give ya something." Trixie walked over to the bed and sat next to him as he handed her a book. She smiled, she loved reading, and when she noticed it was an older horror book she squealed a bit before hugging him. He blushed as he hugged her back and grinned to her when she pulled away from him to open and flip through the book.
"Murphy thank you! You don't know how much it means to me to have a few things of my own now. You and Conner, and Doc and even Rocco at times…yall have made me remember that not all guys are bad…and im thankful for that as well. Thanks Murph." She grinned as she placed her hand on his knee, not paying attention to the rising blood to his cheeks as he looked her over. He had known she was attractive the whole time but the more and more she got used to the guys the closer she was starting to become with them, even in the short time period too, she had gotten so close that the little touches were now second nature to her. She had told them before though that before Danny and her hell she had been a flirtive girl by nature, always smiling and loving the small things. Holding her friends close to her and always trying to make others laugh…until Danny that was. But Murphy and Conner, they had talked to Doc and he even told them he was noticing a huge change in her since she had been out of Danny's grasp.
"Murph!" Trixie glanced over to her door as Conner walked up and looked through it. He smiled to his brother as Trixie waved to him, taking the hand on Murphy's knee off and leaving him with a cold spot now. Conner smiled back as he walked over and sat on her other side. "I see he gave you our gift already."
"He did, thank you Conner. It means a lot it does." She reached over to Conner and hugged him as Murphy glanced to his brother. Conner was a bit surprised by the hug, he had even told Murphy that he was surprised by how well she was doing now, and when she pulled back Conner had to swallow the lump in his throat.
"Well uh, the bars closed down, Wednesday night and all, do ya want to go down for dinner Trixie?" She smiled as she nodded to Conner and sat the book on the side table Doc gave her for the room. When Murphy lead the way down the stairs, she followed with Conner right behind her. She had worn her plain white shirt today, paired with jeans and as she got on the bottom floor she noticed Rocco sitting on a stool near the bar. She walked up behind him and wrapped her arms round his neck, making him jump before he realized who it was.
"Hey small fry." He smiled as she walked around and sat on her own stool. Doc was writing out the cash register again, fixing up his book when Conner used the phone to call for pizza to be delivered. As Murphy took a seat beside Trixie she gasped and looked over to the jukebox. Whenever the bar was closed now, the past three nights, Doc let her put the thing in free mode and play whatever she wanted, everything she wanted, and he never complained. He liked seeing that she was having fun, something he could figure she hadn't had in over a year. She stood, feeling Murphy's hand on her hip as he made sure she didn't trip getting out between him and Rocco, when she went over to it, punched in the number, and got a few songs going. Conner walked around the bar, grabbing a few glasses and some good liquor before pouring them all shots as he noticed Murphy watching Trixie's every move.
"Too soon brother." Murphy glanced up to Conner before he shrugged and smiled to him.
"Have no idea what ya are talking about brother." Conner frowned as he glanced over to Trixie before nodding and looking back to Murphy.
"I think you have a very well known knowledge of what im talking about Murph." Murphy just smiled before drinking the shot Conner had poured him before glancing back to Trixie, she was still looking over the songs in the jukebox but one was already playing and she was swaying her hips a bit, oblivious to the looks he was getting. Rocco glanced from her back to the brothers before noticing the way they were looking before he grinned and pointed to them both.
"Aww really! No way!" Conner and Murphy glanced to Rocco before frowning and getting him to hush.
"Ya be quite Roc! Ya don't need to be giving off anything ya hear?" Rocco shrugged as he glanced back over to Trixie who was now smiling as she punched in another number.
"Whatever guys, but you got to admit…she is nice to look at." Rocco smiled as he glanced their way, seeing the jealousy in their eyes as he commented on her but before they could say something to him to reprimand him they noticed they had fallen for his set up.
"Oh god, the days are long and boring here you know. Could I possibly come down sometime and help out?" Doc glanced up from his book and shrugged, glancing to Conner and Murphy.
"You ha-a-ave to ask the-e-ese two here. Fuck!" Conner smiled, about to get the old man to say what he usually does when he felt hand wrapping themselves around his arm and turned to see Trixie glancing up to him from her stool between Rocco and Murphy.
"Conner?" He smiled as his name slipped so easily off of her lips.
"Im not sure lass, ya aint worried about big bad wolf?" Trixie bit her lip lightly as she thought about that, sitting back in her stool so that Murphy and Rocco could see her face as well. Murphy exchanged a glance with Conner as he noticed her biting her lip, but when Rocco noticed he chuckle before turning his face away and looking at the wall as if it didn't bother him, and truthfully it didn't.
