-It had been too long since Shane had seen her lovely blonde reporter. Things were alot busier here then they had been in Salem. More serpants to worry about. Places to wreck, people to do. Still Faith held a very dear place in the icy heart of the Kadra. Sitting in one of the swivelling piercing chairs, one leg cocked so her foot rested in the seat. A thin muscled arm wrapped around that leg as the pther pushed off the ground and she spun lazily in circles. A cordless phone was tucked between her ear and her shoulder and she was being bored to tears by the automated voice on the other end. Yakkity Yakkity. If she had to hear about the florists special deals one more time she was going to reach through the phone and gauge the fuckers eyes out. She could find a way.-
-Finally something human came on the line and the balls of her foot dug into the ground stopping the chair from spinning. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Harley coming from the bedroom they shared and Shane patted her thigh so the red head would come join her. With Harley on the ground at her feet Shane could run icy fingers through the womans silky hair.-
"White african orchids with some kind of bamboo shit in it." -The man sounded a bit insulted by her language. Obviously he took flowers very seriously.- "And attach a card."
-Talking through what the card would say it was a moment before she finished and pushed the end button on the phone. Letting it sit in the swivelling chair as she got up, thin hand reaching for Harleys so she could lift the little slut to her feet.-
"What do you say we go down to the beach and get a snow cone, maybe eat a tourist."
-The last part was a joke for the moment. Just the snow cone would do. Wrapping an arm around the boa she stepped off the dais, reaching over to tweak Harleys nipple between her fingers. The next day a delivery boy in his nice pressed khaki outfit would ring Faiths doorbell holding an arrangements of oversized white orchids, and a small note.-
Faith, Your ass is so sexy it makes me want to bite it. Your hair makes me want to get lost in it. Your eyes haunt me. Come and get me baby, or I'll come hunting you. Shane
The Orchids were gorgeous and Faith didn't seem it beneath her dignity to squeal with delight. Hell, she was at home and no one there was going to laugh and point at the crazy lady who was doing metaphorical high jumps next to the white flowers.
The note was simply icing on the pretty cake.
While grinning like a madwoman, Faith dug through her black hole of a purse till she found her cell phone and quickly scrolled through the numbers in her fave five ("cha ching") till she found Shane's number and pressed "Send"
As always Faith's luck held up and the call was kicked straight to voice mail. The message as always made Faith laugh. It was just...cool. Her's was something along the lines of "Hi you got Faith...I'm not here right now but-" Originality at it's best, but thankfully the beep snapped Faith's brain out of the shady zone of useless thoughts and made it work instead.
"Shane, hi it's Faith. Just got the flowers, thank you they're fantastic. Coffee sounds great how about tonight? I'll wear something tight and let my hair down. Rawr. Call me."
Ballsy, but Faith was feeling decidedly more so since the news started happening. You'd think a quiet Paradise like Hawaii would be quiet, but no. Arson, missing persons, floaters and now cooked bodies. Faith felt like veritable kid in a candy store and Shane was probably one of the very very few people who could appreciate it. And if all chips fell where Faith needed them to, she'd be sporting a Pulitzer on her mantle for her troubles. Maybe do a lovely piece on Crime and Paradise. Could you have paradise if there was no crime? How would you define paradise then? Suck on that Washington Post! Now all the little reporter needed to do was go shopping. Start spending the Pulitzer money in advance...Hey!
