Hi there! I'm sorry for being this late, but you know, Christams and all that boring stuff...buuut I've now updated, haven't I? ahah, here's the third chapter, the next one will be on as soon as I figure what to write!

Chapter 3.

When Vex woke up, aside from not feeling his left arm, alias Kenzi's pillow, he was pleased to see that the girl was still sleeping besides him. The sun was already up in the sky and his loft was full of the morning's light, or at least he thought it was still morning;the clock though, had a different opinion. The red numbers showed it was already two in the afternoon.
- Oh crap. -
He got up gently and a hideous headache hit him suddenly. Well, it was kind if expected after all the things they drunk until late night.
- Mmh...my head...- a light whine from behind caught his attention.
Kenzi was sitting with her legs crossed, the head between the hands.
- Nice hangover, ah? -

- Yeah, you too man. -
She took a second to give a good look at the man standing in front of her: his hair was all scruffy, the black t-shirt had become quite tight letting her have a glimpse of his abs. Even though she already had a taste of his physic that was all other thing. He surely wasn't as muscular as Dyson, but he had that kind of slim body that could made a girl go crazy. Kenzi let her eyes wander on his figure and noticed the zipper of his jeans opened: to someone else that could have been a big misunderstanding. She blushed at her own thoughts and stood up.
- Are you ok love? - asked Vex watching her wobble.

Her head started spinning like cray causing her to lose her balance. The man's reaction was quick and he grabbed her in between his arms before she could fell on the floor.

She indulged in that comfortable position for a moment before going back to be embarrassed and shove off Vex's arms whispering a Sorry lightly.

Vex smiled a bit but sighed on the inside, frustrated beyond imagination.

- I guess no. What about we grab a bite on the way to your home? And maybe some painkillers. -

Kenzi hesitated a bit, still standing in front of him, playing nervously with her lips and biting them, action that didn't pass unobserved. Damn his lost powers, he could have had taken advantage of them to push the situation a little forward in its favor. Though, with all chance, she'd probably get mad. Anyway that was something impossible to very since his powers where gone; hopefully not for good.
- ...Can I shower before we go? - asked Kenzi shyly pulling a hem of his t-shirt.
Vex was kinda speechless, that was the first time he had seen such a fave if her character. He smiled, pleased.
- Sure, I'll show you the bathroom. -

The water of the shower was pouring by almost twenty minutes when a violent knocking caught Vex attention; obviously it wasn't hard to guess who was standing behind the door. The Mesmer, who hadn't neither changed his clothes nor tidied them, walked and opened it, welcoming a thundery Dyson and a very pissed Bo with his usual smirk.
- Good morning my friends! - exclaimed with fake hospitality and a big hint of sarcasm.
- Vex. - growled the wolf showing his fangs off. He was visibly ready to beat the crap out of him but the succubus stepped between them with a rather threatening aura surrounding her.
- You have exactly ten seconds to tell me where Kenzi is. Lie and I'll cut off the only functioning part of this lame body of you. - after a few seconds of silence in which he considered the answer to give, the noise of the water stopped.
- She just finished her shower. - replied oddly honest.
The two of them were caught off guard since neither of them expected such a reply. Bo's eyebrows were raised, Dyson was glaring at him with suspect in his eyes.
Vex examined both looks and felt kinda offended when he realized that they were thinking he had done something bad to her without her consent. It was true that he was known to be an heartless motherfucker, an asshole, a soulless killer etcetera etcetera, but to think so low of him was a really hideous affront. The Mesmer was about to give them his sarcastic talk about the past night, just to make them even angrier, when the bathroom's door opened behind him revealing Kenzi dressed only in a very bright red towel. She turned to them and stood still with her mouth wide open.
- Kenz?! The hell are you doing here? And why are you naked?! - asked Bo, suddenly confused and a bit embarrassed by the whole situation.
When she had woke up that morning without finding Kenzi anywhere in their home and she had panicked. Lauren had tried to calm her down and make her think: good advise. She remembered her call with Vex when he said that Kenzi would have been home by morning, wherever she was anyway. Thanks to that she eased her anxiety for a bit, but when noon came, Lauren was gone and Kenzi's phone was still off she started to panic once again. It had been at that point that she contacted Dyson, merely out of desperation, asking for help. They met at the Dal where he told her he had seen Kenzi and Vex drinking the night before. Asking around they found out that they had been seen leaving together but that was all. The most likely hypothesis was Vex's home but to make sure they firstly had checked her phone's records to localize were the last call had been received. In the end they had thought right but at the time they got there it was already past two in the afternoon. And now they were standing in the hall of the mesmer apartment, more confused than before.

- It's not what you think, we just got drunk and that's all. - stated Kenzi once again in defense from Bo's allusions. The succubus had long digested the fact that she had disappeared without a word, now was more interested in why exactly she was in the mesmer house. The truth couldn't remain hidden for long but the human was far from telling her bestie her real feelings. That was wrong, she knew, but there was no intention to be judge.
- I'm not buying that, you know right? - Bo was all smiles and wink, she was having her fun in teasing Kenzi since she never talked about her personal feelings.
Kenzi sighed.
- Shouldn't you just tell me to stay away from him because he's fae and a bad bad one since he's dark and all that crap? - stated the little human raising from the couch. She was too nervous to stay still, she needed to move. Plus her head was aching so bad to give her nausea: thanks to their raid she hadn't had breakfast nor she had taken a medicine.
- I'll leave those kind of talk to Dyson, I'm the unaligned succubus, remember? I couldn't care less. - exclaimed her friend following her every move with the eyes.
- Right... - she stopped in front of Bo and smiled quietly.
- Now that you understand, please, sit down and tell me how you ended up naked in Vex's apartment. -
Kenzi faked an annoyed expression before storming out; if she was going to talk, she needed food and aspirins.
Bo jumped off the sofa ready to chase her even to depth of hell: she would have had her story no matter what!

Once again thank you for reading! I have now to think how to make the story proceed! Suggestions are welcomed!
