[color=]"What the hell do you want?"[/color] Roxy asked as Howard closed the bathroom door. She glared at him but knew that her options for lashing out at him were limited. She had to put protecting Jess before her own comfort which meant she couldn't kill the asshole in front of her no matter how much she wanted to. 

He reached out and touched her. His eyes danced with excitement. She didn't pull away or back off. She might not be able to kill him but she could still hurt him. Her world was all about being strong. One had to be strong to survive and she had survived this shit a long time. [color=blue]"Take your hands off me or I will cut it off." [/color]

[color=fff200]"Your father wants to see you."[/color] He back off but only because he knew she would cut him if he pushed her too far. [color=fff200]"He says it's only far after you spend the weekend with Jessamyn mother."[/color]

As much as she didn't want to she couldn't argue that. In a normal empath/anchor relationships they would spend time with both families. Roxy had no doubt that Jess was curious about her family. It was the last thing she wanted but she knew it was also wasn't something that she could avoid. [color=blue]"Fine I will talk to Jess about it. Tell him it will be a couple of weeks. She needs a break from emotions."[/color]

Howard opened the door and headed to the door clearly proud of himself. Roxy took a minute to try to calm down. Once she got her breathing under control she stepped out of the bathroom. She cursed when she saw that they had a customer.
