[color=Lime]“Thanks for the ride, Onyx. I’ll catch a ride back.”[/color]

“No problem, babes. Good luck with… whatever you’re doing.”

Blowing a kiss to her friend, Lexi stepped away from the car, waving to Onyx as they drove away. Taking a moment to collect her thoughts, Lexi bent down to tie her shoe as she thought of a game plan. [i]It’s cool, I’ll totally just walk into a building that I don’t even know because of a sketchy email. Yup, makes perfect sense.[/i]

However, as if to quell her reluctance, her left hand had wandered to her chest where, just above her cleavage, a small gem lay. It served as a reminder. If she wanted to figure all this out, she had to do this, no matter how much her strong survival instinct warned her not to. 

[i]Come on, you’re Lexi Madden. Woman up and walk in there like the Queen that you are![/i] At the confidence boost, Lexi straightened up before waltzing confidently towards the interestingly bright building that made her raise an eyebrow. A small part of her wanted to take a can of spray paint and give the building a more, uh, [b]real[/b] feel.

She mentally ran over the words of the email in her head while her left hand tightened slightly on the strap of her purse as she heard the sounds of talking. Head tilting to the side in curiosity, she narrowed her eyes at the sight of two people at the door. She resisted to touch the gem on her chest for comfort, not wanting to give any sign of weakness.

Relaxing her form yet maintaining her confidence, she approached the pair. A small smirk appeared on her face as she eyed both of them up and down. [i]I’m sooo okay with this.[/i] 

[color=Lime]“Glad to see I’m not the only one here. Chances of this being a set up have diminished quite a bit.”[/color] Lexi drawled, moving to stand by the woman as she crossed her arms.
