Olivia woke up the next morning feeling hung over as hell; she was presently resting her head in her hands while still in bed trying not to feel so light headed.

My aching head~

All she cared about right now was taking something for her headache and a nice hot shower to wake up; she managed to stagger out of the bed and went to the bathroom to find there were no towels in the cabinet.

"There's some in the dryer."

When she headed back out she saw Ace from the Gangreen gang smiling at her, "Good morning sweetcheeks~" "….Morning."

He handed her a bath towel as if reading her mind and gently nudged her back towards her room. (She had two bathrooms, one in her room the other was for guests). After she took some hangover medicine, which the only reason she had it was because an old roommate kept getting drunk so she kept the pills, and hopped in the shower.

The hot shower felt so good and helped a lot, it felt good to get clean and refreshed but the main thing that was bugging her was last night.

My mind must not be all there yet…..I remember having my usual at the bar and then…a lot of kissing?

She didn't think too much more about it after she was through, drying her hair, changing clothes into comfy slacks and a tank-top before putting her summer house coat on. Yawning she headed towards the kitchen smelling freshly brewed coffee, which is just what she wanted.

She entered only to be greeted by Snake pouring a cup, "Morningsss sunshine~" She mumbled it back to him and let him politely guide her to the table and handed the cup to her. "Lookss like you need thisss."

She nodded and asked, "I need some milk and sugar to put in it." "You likess it the same way I do." He fetched and poured some milk into her coffee, she told him when to stop as she put the sugar in herself and watched him do the same thing with his own. "Mmmm, this hitsss the spot~"

Olivia was confused as hell as it was but this takes the cake seeing two Gangreen members first thing in the morning.

"So…how are things?" "Cant'ssss complain. You?" "I'm good….just got this headache." She closed her eyes and doze for a minute when she felt a pair of lips on her cheek. Her eyes shot open and glanced over to see the familiar pink hued eyes staring at her and the devilish smirk that went with it, "Feel betta?"

NOW it dawned on her as her mouth hung open in shock and pointed back and forth between the two men. "You….he….Gangreen Gang!?"

"Yep, that's us~"

"Wh..Why…How….WHAT IN HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!?"

Snake choked back a snicker from the outburst that made Ace jump, but he just smirked, "I'll tell ya doll face, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here in your nice cozy home."

"What?"

He pulled up a chair and straddled it explaining, "You wuz at the club and some guy slipped ya something, a roofy no doubt, and I came to your rescue."

The woman thought about it really hard and it did make sense surprisingly, "I only had two drinks so that guy must've already slipped it in when my back was turned before he spoke to me."

"You gotsss it."

"So, why are you guys here then?"

Ace chuckled and mused, "We hatta make sure you got home safe~"

Olivia wasn't buying it and asked with a scowl, "What's the catch?" "Why there's no catch. What would make you think of sucha thing?"

She just gave him a fixed look and he rose his hands up in surrender, "Aight, I get the drift. I save you and then me and my boys crash here." "No."

"Ey! You owe me for coming to your rescue my fair damsel. I didn't have ta do nuttin and let someone else take advantage of you. We didn't do anything to ya except take you home, the least you can do is let us stay for a while."

She hated to admit it he was right, to a certain point anyway, as she mumbled under her breath, "This can't be happening."

Thinking about it for a few minutes she asked, "How long we talking?" "I dunno; few weeks maybe a few months. Whatever we feel like." "No deal." "Eh?"

"There's no deal until we come up with an actual time frame here." "Tch fine, how bouts….three months." "Hell no! One week!" "No dice babe! Two months!"

"What aboutsss one month?"

They both stared at Snake, who just shrugged as they thought about it, "I'm cool with that, nice work Snake." "….I guess I can survive that long as long as you boys follow my rules."

Ace just snickered and pinched her cheek, "We don't follow no rules you should know that about us." "If you're living under my roof there are a few things we need to discuss. I'm not having you guys coming in and out all night for starters or doing drugs…."

"Woahsss now! We don't do drugsss no more. That was yearsss ago."

Ace nodded, "Believe it or not we clean. We not so much bad guys as we use ta be….where've you been?"

She finished her cup of coffee with a sigh, "I moved away from Townsville ten years ago because of all the crime, I've only been back here for a couple of weeks."

Ace furrowed his brows from behind his shades asking, "Ten years? How old were ya?" "Eighteen." "What!? You're only one year olda than me? How come I've never seen ya before?"

She just shrugged, "I was working at the grocery store and I…uh….didn't socialize much so just came home." "Interesting…..so howsss you know so much about us?"

Ace whacked the other male on the nose snapping, "How could she NOT know about the Gangreen Gang!? We're still well known in this city you numbskull."

Olivia nodded in agreement, "I know all about the villains naturally but you guys do stand out like a sore thumb, though you've changed over the years….at least a little. But what I really want to know is why you want to stay here? Don't tell me you live at that shack still."

Ace snorted, "We still hang out there yas know, it's home to us even now. We could afford an apartment but rent is too damn high. Why pay for a dump when we already got one for free?"

She nodded in understanding and asked, "So, you have money now?" "We gotsss jobs." "You're kidding."

She almost wished she didn't say that from the dark glare from the leader she just received but he kept his cool, "Believe it or not missy, we all the bouncers at Boogie's joint. We get paid to beat people up that cause trouble, get free beer on our nights off, and the cash is good."

"Sounds like a good job for you guys."

"We really likesss working there~ You gotsss lucky last night was our night off."

"I see, well…..thank you."

The leader scratched his chin muttering, "Now let's see, what fun can we do in our new home?"

"Temporary home you mean."

A mischievous smirk came her way as she decided to leave the kitchen, catching him following her as she went into her room, "Since you're following me I need to ask you something."

"Fire away."

"Why did you kiss me last night?"

Now she really wished she didn't ask, the smirk alone was enough to make her tense as he approached and trapped her against the wall. "Don't ya mean making out babe?" "Whatever." "Had to look convincing to the sleazeball ya know, besides….you seemed to enjoy it. I sure did."

"I was drugged so don't give me that excuse."

He chuckled and leaned closer, "That may be, but you know what I think? I think yuz really want all the attention~ Deep down you're a naughty girl aren't ya?"

The woman rolled her eyes as Big Billy came running inside, barreling into Ace along with the other two, "Big Billy hungry! Ace said we'd go out!"

"Get off me ya big oaf!

Olivia took that moment to scoot out just to be safe, heading back into the kitchen for more needed coffee as she bumped into Snake.

She gulped since he was literally in her face with a small grin and quickly noticed his lips weren't black like in the old days but just green,. A loud thud made her head turn; praying they didn't break anything when it was gently turned back and she got yet another lip lock.

She pushed back but the guy was persistent, and VERY gentle which made her go weak in the knees. Snake's kissing was very addictive and she tried to resist again, but when he traveled his mouth to her neck she gasped from the gentle fang bites.

"Ey Snake! Make yourself useful and get in here!"

He growled in annoyance but gave the woman a chaste kiss on the lips purring, "I likess you~ I hope we getsss to have more fun later."

She watched him go with a huge blush and took a much needed deep breath before getting more coffee, "I'm in BIG trouble if what Ace said is true...I won't survive a month without giving in."
