*whispers* Writer's Block...
She Could Be The One
"Hey Ada. I'm Steve." They shook hands. "Nice to meet you Steve." She said politely. They talked more and got to know eachother more as time passed by. It was around midnight now and they were still talking.
"So, I work in Umbrella-" He said until Ada interrupted him. "I-I'm sorry to interrupt you, but did you say you worked at Umbrella?" She asked him. Steve nodded. "Yeah, why?" He asked. "Well... Umm..." 'Think Ada, think.'
"Well I always wanted to know more about that place. Maybe even get a job there. Maybe you could tell me more about it, if you don't mind." She said.
He nodded. "Yeah, sure. I don't mind. I could even take you there and tell people your with me, and you could see the place yourself if you'd like." Ada smiled at him. "I'd love that." Steve also smiled.
"It's a date then."
It was 6 in the morning.
Claire was on the bed she had once shared with Steve before he had left her. She had no idea where he was. She started crying again.
Leon was at his place getting ready for work. He was really down after what had happened the night before.
He hurt his best friend, and it cost her, her relationship. But... it wasn't that, that had made him feel down. It was the fact the a part of him was happy they were over. He just didn't understand why he was feeling like that. His bestfriend was heart broken, and in a way, he was glad.
Not about the heart broken part, but the part where he gets to put the pieces back together and in return, maybe get something more out of it.
... Out of Claire.
Leon blushed when he started having dirty thoughts of her. He shook his head. "What the hell is wrong with me..."
He headed out and drove to work.
Ada went up to him. "Hey hon'. You alright? You don't look too well." She put her hands on his cheek and forehead. He smiled. "I'm fine Ada." She smiled. "Alright, if you say so. I'm still getting you some noodles for lunch and an advil just in case, alright?"
He nodded and sat down at his desk.
'Ada is so good to me. I can't believe I cheated on her... even though it wasn't really my fault. I just hope she never finds out. I really have to stop having dirty thoughts of Claire... I mean, it's not like it could mean anything... right?
No, of course not. I mean hey, it's Claire. Who wouldn't think about her like that? She's so damn ho- Woah! Hold on there cowboy, before you go too far.'
He sighed. "This whole thing has me messed up..."
It was around 2 in the afternoon now...
People were heading out for lunch. Leon had his head down. Ada tapped him on the shoulder. "I got the advil and noddles. Maybe you should leave early and get some rest. You must be tired." She said worriedly.
He got up and stretched. "Heading home early doesn't sound like a bad idea." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "I'll drive you home when your ready."
Chris went up to the couple. "Hey Ada, could you give me and Leon a minute to discuss... a case?" She nodded. "No problem. I'll be outside waiting for you." She told Leon before she left. "So, what's up Chris?" He asked him.
"Well... It's Claire. She didn't come in today and I can't seem to get a hold of her. Do you know if she's okay?"
Leon didn't answer at first. He stayed quiet.
Jill went up to him. "Leon, if you know Claire is in trouble, you should tell us. We want to help her too if she's in any kind of trouble."
He backed away. "Uhh... maybe we shouldn't talk about that here." He said. "Why?" Chris asked.
"Because you could beat me to a pulp if I said it with you near me." Leon said as he backed away more from the pair and close to the exit.
"Grr... Leon, what the hell did you do to my baby sister!"
Jill put a hand on her husbands shoulder. "Chris, calm down. He's not going to tell us if he feels threatened by you." He sighed. "Fine... Your coming with us though." Chris picked up Leon and threw him over his shoulder.
"Chris! What the hell are you doing?"
"I'll get the car keys." Jill said and followed them outside into the parking lot. Ada saw her boyfriend on Chris's shoulder. "Uhhh... Leon... ?" He threw his house keys to Ada and she caught them. "I'm sorry about this! Feel free to go to my place and wait for me there!" He said, then Chris threw him into his car, though... in a non-violent way. x3
Jill started the car and drove to her and Chris's place.
They got out the car and went in. Leon sat down in the living room. Jill sat down next to him. "So tell us, what's wrong with Claire?" He shook his head. "I'm not saying, not until I'm sure Chris can't kill me."
"I've got an idea..."
Jill locked Chris in the coat closet that was next to their flat screen in the living room. "There, he'll still be in the conversation, but he won't be able to hurt you. Alright?" Leon nodded.
Chris sighed. "Leon, is it that bad that I'd WANT to kill you?"
Leon mumbled. "Yes..."
"What? What was that? I didn't hear."
Jill rolled her eyes. "Chris, enough. Let's let him talk." She gave Leon a nod for him to go on.
"The day before yesterday... at night, I went over Claire's place, and... we had a few drinks." Jill nodded. "I know. Claire told me. But nothing happened between you two, right?" He sighed and slowly shook his head.
"Something DID happen... But... when Claire told you, she didn't remember any of it. To be honest, I don't remember any of it either."
"What do you mean by something DID happen?"
"I... Well, Claire and I... Weslepttogether!"
"Uhhh... Leon? Could you run that by me again?" Jill asked. "Slowly!"
He nodded. "Right, sorry. CLAIRE AND I SLEPT TOGETHER BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL STEVE FOUND OUT AND TOLD HER NOW HE LEFT HER AND SHE'S DEPRESSED!"
Jill's mouth hung open in shock as to what Leon had just told her. Chris couldn't believe what he heard.
"WHAT!" Chris broke the door down with his shoulder and ran towards Leon and picked him up by his collar. "You did what!" Chris punched him in his face and stomach. "Chris, no!" Jill pulled him away.
Leon wiped the blood from the corner of his lip. "You should've chained him down..."
"To be honest Leon, I don't think that would've worked either." Jill said. "You should go, won't be long till he loses it again." Leon got up. "Don't have to tell me twice." He rushed out of their home and walked to his own home. As he was walking up the steps to his house, Ada opened the door.
"Hey Ada. How'd ya know I was coming?"
"Uhh... I was looking out the window to see when you were coming. Leon, my goodness, what happened!" Ada helped him inside. "Chris and I... had an interesting afternoon. Let's just leave it at that. Ada got him to lay down on the couch. "I'll go get the first aid kit."
Ada got it and started treating his wounds. "Do you want me to make you anything?" She offered. "No, it's fine." He said.
She got up. "I... have to go. I still have a ton of work to do that I left at my place. Are you gonna be okay alone?" Leon sat up and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine." Ada got her jacket and purse. "Good. I left the advil on the counter and noodles in the fridge for you."
Leon smiled. "Thanks. Hey, are you free tomorrow? Maybe we could go on a date after work."
"About that... I'm not going in to work tomorrow. I have to take care of something. I'll call you though." She kissed him on the cheek and left.
That late afternoon, Jill and Chris went over to Claire's place to check on her. They knocked on the door. A few minutes later, the door opened to find a red puffy eyed Claire in a dark blue robe. Her hair was a mess... She was a mess.
"Goodness, Claire. Are you alright?" Jill asked her.
Claire didn't respond and just went in, leaving the door open for them to go in. Jill went in first, and Chris closed the door behind.
"We're worried about you Claire. Leon told us everything. Are you alright?"
Claire sat on the couch in her living room.
"Have you heard from Steve?" Chris asked. Claire shook her head. Jill cleaned up a bit. The place was sort of a mess. Chris sat next to her. "Have you eaten anything?" Claire shook her head again. "I'll go make you something. Do you prefer anything at the moment?"
Claire shook her head. Chris sighed and went to the kitchen. Only place that wasn't a mess compared to the other rooms in the house, seems she hasn't been there in a while.
Chris made her some tomatoe soup. It was her favorite when she was feeling down. Followed by some vanilla ice cream. After Jill was finished cleaning, she went to the store to get some ice cream and other groceries for Claire.
Chris went to the living room and put the tray with the bowl of soup on her lap. "Dig in. Best soup ever." He said with a grin. Though it didn't fase her. He brought a spoonful of soup into Claire's mouth and he fed her. Jill came back from the store with the groceries.
She put everything in it's place in the kitchen.
Chris went in with the empty bowl and tray. "At least she's eating now."
"That's a start." Jill said as she went to the living room to try and cheer her up. "So Claire, did I ever tell you what happened to Chris on our honeymoon to Mexico?" She started as she sat down next to her.
"Alright, so Chris and I were at lunch, he had some chilly and god knows what else on his plate and he managed to eat it all. Your brother has a stomach as hard as his biceps. Anyway, after he ate it he started sweating a bit, I asked him if he was alright, he said yes."
Chris knew which story she was telling. "Aww, Jill, common. Not that one." Jill shushed him and continued. "Then he said he had to go to the bathroom, he spent a good hour in there. I started getting worried and texted him. He said he was fine. Then, it was near closing time and everyone was leaving. Chris was still in the bathroom, a guy there at the restaurant had to escort him out.
Then on our way back to the hotel, you'll never guesswhat happened. Your brother, Christopher Redfield, crapped in his pants. It was disgusting and funny." Jill said as she laughed and recalled that night. "For the rest of the honeymoon Chris would not leave the hotel because he was so embarrassed."
Claire smiled a bit.
"If that has you smiling, what I'm about to say next will have you smiling even more."
Claire turned to Jill.
"Your going to be an aunt."
