Killjoy

To Alison Botha, for being the strong soul she is.
A/N: A big 'thanks' to all reviewers and ENJOY:)
She smiled. Oh yes. This was her big break. After all these years. She would be the one shining. Not her. She relished the feel of the hot water messaging her back. Her eyes followed the lazy swirls of steam as they rose up and disappeared. She wrapped a towel around herself as she padded out to the mirror. She studied herself. Even after all these years, she still looked youthful and beautiful. She glared at the small lines at the side of her mouth. The stupid things marred her beauty! Huffing, she wrenched the door open. A small lavish smile spread over her face. Tonight. Tonight, she will make him do it.
His blue eyes scanned the area as he took a swig from his glass of brandy. He savoured the feel of the smooth liquid in his mouth. He opened his eyes to see large amber eyes staring into his blue ones. A suggestive smile spread on her face as she moved her hands over to his chest.
"Darling, won't you do me a favour?" The woman purred. Her voice thick and rich. It never fails to send shivers up and down his spine.
"Hmm." He rumbled as he studied her profile. Tonight, she donned a tight crimson dress that stopped at her mid thigh. The design was simple but it managed to flaunt her well proportioned body. The shadows that danced over her face made her seem more dangerous and… he paused to find the word... Foxy. He concluded.
"I want to begin tomorrow. May I? Please? I'll do anything for you." She said sitting on his lap. Malum smiled. She was always doing this to get things done her way. Not that he minded. Malum, knowing that she would do this, have always prepared beforehand. He would finish everything two weeks before the planned date of execution. It was his habit. Being prepared gave him the feeling of power. To know what was going to happen to the people he was hired to or he just wanted to kill.
"Tomorrow, my sweet. Tomorrow." Malum said before claiming her mouth with his.
It was the same old boring Thursdays where you get the kick of happiness once in a while at the thought of tomorrow being Friday. Sachi, was feeling exceptionally bored and tired. She looked about her office in search of her god forsaken thumbdrive when she noticed a letter standing out from the dark hue of her mahogony table. She ripped the letter open and got the shock of her life. Well, the best shock of her life. After Lara's death of course.
"Oh my god." Sachi breathed as she stared at the letter lying in her hands. She felt like shouting and jumping in the air.
Miss Sachi Carrie Attha,
Due to our Californian SPA outlet being fully booked, your appointment is transferred to our Boston outlet. Please be sure to reach the Californian International Airport at 10am sharp. It will be on the same day you asked for. Thank you.
Yours truly,
Marla Plum
Executive of Women's Life SPA (Californian Outlet)
She gave a small squeal of 'Yes' while dancing around in circles. Finally, after all these years of working she was going to be able to get some well-deserved rest and relax. She hummed softly as she went through the paper work that day. Her buoyant mood seemed to be invincible. Even when her models started whining and complaining to her when she went down to get some coffee she still swelled with good cheer. Draining her must-have espresso, Sachi willed the day to finish faster. She just could not wait to visit the first-class SPA vacation! This would be the greatest time to get away from the stress and tiredness! Maybe she could even make friends with the other four lucky women she shared her vacation with. See, this SPA is a prestigious one. Her two weeks booking is joined with four other women. Consideredextremely lucky as there was only one house left. And the house is onlybig enough for five. Oh yes, she was so going to enjoy this.
Cagalli mustered all her internal strength. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Be in tune with nature… Cagalli quoted in her head. She enjoyed the scent of her herbal tea standing a few inches away from her hands. If only she could just reach over and bring it to her mouth and enjoy the bitter yet calming waters in…
"Are you even listening to me?" an irritated voice cut into her system and brought her back to reality.
"Come again?" Cagalli replied after preventing her very smart reply of 'Huh?' She inwardly congratulated herself at her success.
"I was saying, the boss would like to have your team escalate to the field work department." Repeated an annoyed Luna. She looked at the blonde closely trying to see her exact reaction to the statement.
"Oh. OH!" Cagalli exclaimed after the first monotonous one. She clapped her hands in excitement and started to chatter with Luna. The lucky break I was waiting for! And my, how clever I sound with my reply. Cagalli said to herself in her head.
You have 1 new mail
Cagalli clicked on the link and brought her to the mail her Aunt sent her.
Cagalli,
I'm going to enjoy a nice SPA vacation at Boston the day after tomorrow at 10am. If you want, you can see me off at the Californian International Airport. I hope to see you there!
Hugs and Kisses XD
My, is Aunt Sachi happy or what? She even included a smiley face.Cagalli thought in surprise before noting down this airport send-off thing in her notebook. Cagalli giggled from time to time at the thought of finally moving to her desired department. Cagalli asked herself happily. She never knew how wrong she was did she?
A/N: Sorry for the late update! R&R!
