MARCH UPDATE

How could someone stain the color black, is what she wondered. Jessie knew that Gabriel wasn't innocent as he would like to make himself out to be. She used to look up to him.

What a fool.

"You think so?"

Maybe she was just fishing for more compliments and nice things for him to say to her now. Jessie propped her chin up on her hand, chewing away at her waffle.

"Thanks, Niko. He's been stressing me out. I tried to cut contact, but he always seems to find me somehow..."

[attr="class","niko i"]"i know so."

because it isn't that long ago that he abandoned his family name, cast it aside in favor of absolutely nothing. niko manner was no one, but he had built a reputation up for himself the same way she has and could.

so, it's like he said: fuck what GABRIEL BLACK thinks.

"well, even if he does, he's gotta go through me."

he lowers his fork for a moment, reaching a hand out for hers.

"i'll watch over you, jessie."

Jessica couldn't help her pleased look, her pleased laugh. She nodded, accepting the fact that he just admitted he'd protect her from her father.

Maybe the next time he decided to come show up at her work, she'd call him to help.

"I'll have to give you a call if he ever shows up."

She let him take her hand, soft and small compared to his.

he squeezes her hand, assuring his promise.

speaking of, do they even have each other's numbers? he pulls out his phone, holding it out to her. it's not locked nor does it have a passcode on it. nothing to hide.

"here, and i'll give you mine so you can reach me whenever."

Unlike his phone, Jessie's was password protected. Hidden from her father, patrons, whoever decided to get their hands on it, just in case. It was difficult being a woman sometimes, so she had to be careful.

She got his number and sent a message so he had hers now. She smiled at him, obviously excited.

"Are you finished eating? Do you want to head back to my place?"

[attr="class","niko i"]is he done eating? he peers down at his food, seeing most of the plates now empty, which brings a chuckle to him.

"i am, yeah."

after a quick gesture for the check, he pulls out a few bills, leaving a hefty tip before standing. he offers her his hand.

"to your place."

Taking his hand, Jessie leads them to her apartment. It isn't far, which is nice. When they enter, she switches on the lights.

Lucy, her Alolan Raichu, greets them excitedly. Jessie gave her a couple of pets before going to start a fire in the fire place, since it was chilly outside.

"That's Lucy. She's very excitable. She might zap you."

with a smile, he raises his hand to greet her alolan raichu, petting its head for a brief moment before following after jessie.

he glances around, taking in her apartment.

"i like it. it's cozy."

Jessie smiled.

"Glad you like it. I'm going to take off this glitter and put on something more comfortable."

She disappeared for a moment, reappearing in casual clothes and a lot less glittery. She had also let out her Delphox, Finn, from the Pokeball she had been carrying.

Sitting by the fire, she patted a spot for Niko to join her, opening her arms out.

[attr="class","niko i"]briefly, he nods his head at her delphox in greeting, then he reaches out for her hand and joins her on the couch, settling down beside her.

"you know, i think i prefer you in something more comfortable."

he leans in, placing a kiss on her cheek before pulling her close, leaning the side of his body against hers.

"Yeah? Not the skimpy booty shorts and tight ass clothes?"

She looked down at the sweats she decided to put on and the hoodie, her hair pulled back in her classic ponytail. He was warm. She smiled as he kissed her cheek.

"Most people like the revealing outfits, you know," she teased.

[attr="class","niko i"]"i mean..."

his head tilts as he chuckles. it's a tough choice, really, but he'd rather see her in something she feels more comfortable in.

"depends on who's wearing them, i guess."

but he pauses for a moment, considering.

"i'm sure i'd like you in anything."

Jessica laughed, smiling up at him with a grin on her face.

"I'm messing with you. But, I appreciate the thought. I like to dress up, but taking it off and relaxing is nice too..."

Especially doing this. Cuddling close to him by the fire.

"So, what kind of stuff do you and your group exactly do? I take it you're the head honcho."

[attr="class","niko i"]ah. niko and his group which will continue to remain nameless, perhaps because they truly have no name.

"all kinds of stuff, really."

he leans into her even more as he speaks.

"extortion, money laundering, stealing...the list goes on."

no point sugar-coating it when they definitely are criminals.

"you won't have to do any of that, though, if that's what you're concerned about."

So the bad guy stuff. He was very open about it. It truly was a good thing she didn't care.

"I'm sure that keeps you busy. So how was I able to meet you tonight?"

She shrugged with an amused chuckle, scooting over so she could climb into his lap, straddle his legs to play with his hair while looking at him.

"I wasn't. As hard as I work in the clubs, I'm lazy when it comes to other stuff. I probably would've said no, anyway."
