Chapter 3: Venting out
"*Sigh*...Well..just two days ago I was hosting one of my wild parties at a fancy hotel...and I- *HIC!* I stupidly drank way more than I intended to." Verosika explained
"...Is that the worst thing?" Jax asked
"No, it was the beginning to the worst. You see I had way too much to drink that I lost control of myself. My mind was blended like a smoothie. It was a very intense night." Verosika said
"So what happened after that?" Jax asked
"Well happened was-*Sniffle* I was so wasted and fucked up like a mindless zombie that I didn't know what I was doing or where I was going, and somehow I stumbled outside of the hotel and blindly fell face down into a mud puddle totally ruining my face and my whole outfit and I passed out right there for the rest of the whole night without moving a muscle, with a bottle in my hand." Verosika said
"Ew, That sounds really messy. Is that what made you sad?" Jax asked
"No! The real problem that made me sad is that people nearby took pictures of me as I laid down there in the mud. They took lots of pictures instead of helping me up! Some even grabbed my underwear and gave me a few wedgies and drew on my face with a fucking sharpie! No one at all tried to help me! They just played with my body like a toy!" Verosika bursted
Jax was taken back a little as Verosika vented out her frustration.
"H-How did you know people took pictures of you while you were asleep?" Jax asked
"Well I'll tell how kid, I wake up the next morning in the same mud puddle with my head in pieces like I got hit by a truck. I was all alone that moment so I pulled myself together and walked home looking like a total mess. And after I got home, the first thing I did was spend an hour puking out everything I drank down the toilet before stuffing a handful of hangover pills in my mouth. Then I had to scrub the shit out of my face in the shower to get all the permanent marker off!" Verosika explained more
"...I still don't understand how you know about the pictures." Jax pointed out
"I know I know just listen! Finally after getting myself cleaned up, I check my phone only to-...only to discover that I became the new laughing stock all over fucking social media!" Verosika cried out as she was now on the verge of tears
"Social media?" Jax asked
"What I mean is people took pictures of me looking like shit and posted them all over everything with hundreds of views and counting! It's so fucking humiliating! My dignity crushed up! I'm a popstar for Hell's sake! PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO RESPECT ME! *Sob!*" Verosika cried as he had her hands over her eyes with tears pouring down her cheeks ruining her makeup in the process
Having finally got his answer on why Verosika was down in the dumps, Jax was now feeling sorrow for the poor succubi demon. Verosika then takes out her phone and pulls up Sinstagram before handing it to Jax.
"*Sniff!* Here, see for yourself!" Verosika said
Jax takes the phone and proceeds to scroll through Sinstagram and could not believe his eyes. There were lots of pictures posted by the strangers that messed with Verosika in her alcoholic coma. The first few pictures were Verosika face down in the mud as she described, the second few pictures were random male demons posing and smiling with Verosika's unconcious body, and the last few pictures were the demons playing with Verosika like a ragdoll and drawing on her face with a sharpie marker.
Jax was at a loss for words at the moment. Were the male demons a paparrazi group taking things to far? Or were they some shameless party attendies showing no respect for the popstar? That's when Verosika suddenly swiped the phone back from his hands before he could look at more pictures.
"On second thought you shouldn't see those. I can't disturb that young little innocent mind of yours." Verosika said as he quickly put her phone away before going back to sulking
"Verosika I-..I'm sorry that happened to you." Jax said
"*Sniff* I appreciate your pity kiddo, but from now on everywhere I go, I'll have to cover up my once popular face from everyone. Grrrr! If I could find the shameless brats that took those pictures of me, I would give them a deadly payback and make them wish they never existed!" Verosika growled with her hands tightening into fists
Verosika was now growing angry and on the risk of going into an unfit rage. Jax could see it and had to think fast before quickly coming up with a brilliant idea.
"*Clears throat* Uh-Oh! Woah!" Jax fake yelped as he purposely let himself fall off the bench and fall down onto the sidewalk with a minor impact
"AHH! OWIE!" Jax laid on the sidewalk while gripping his head pretending to be hurt
Immediately Verosika's stress and anger quickly vanished and got replaced with concern as her mind was now focused on the poor pup crying on the concrete.
"*Whimper!* My head! Ow my head! Ouchie! *Whimper, Whine!*" Jax pretended to cry and be in pain as he squirmed a little while still gripping his head
"Woah, you okay there? What's wrong with you?" Verosika asked as she got up off the bench
"*Whimper, Whimper!* It hurts so much!" Jax fake cried
Verosika knelt down on the sidewalk in front of Jax and proceeded to scoop him up.
"Hey calm down there. Just let me take a look at you." Verosika said as she held the pup close to herself
Now that Jax was in Verosika's arms, it was time to go in for the kill. Without warning and in the blink of an eye, Jax immediately ceases his fake crying and throws himself against the succubi demon wrapping his arms around her shoulders and snuggling tight against her neck while wagging his tail.
"OOF! What the!?" Verosika exclaimed taken back by the sudden gesture
Jax hugged Verosika tightly for a brief moment before separating back to look her in the eyes with a sweet smile on his face.
"Please don't be sad Verosika. You're very beautiful and you deserve better."
Jax smiled before he tenderly began nuzzling his face against Verosika and give her a few kissy licks on her cheek. Verosika was at a loss for words as she processed her thoughts before Jax suddenly rested his head onto her chest making her have a tender and tingly feeling bloom in her heart.
"Oh shit! What is this kid doing!? And why am I feeling-...Oh fuck it!" Verosika thought as she slowly and hesitantly wrapped her arms around the young hellhound boy snuggling him warmly in return
Jax wagged his tail faster feeling happy that his plan was working.
"This...This feels really nice for some reason. This kid is seriously trying to melt my heart." Verosika thought as she kept snuggling the pup in her arms
And it was about to get even better. Jax then repositioned himself so he was laying back on Verosika's hold facing up to her in a cradling position. He then proceeded to stick out his tongue and cutely pant in and out with his hands up like a normal sweet puppy. This caused Verosika to let out a small giggle before she began tenderly petting his belly with her left hand. Not tickling, just petting.
