[hr]

It was too early. It had to be too early. There was no other reason for the crustiness in the eyes. The quick rollover to bury the head in the pillow. The taste of cigarettes and Baccardi 151 in the mouth. It all added up. It was a Saturday morning after all. There was absolutely no need to do anything. Just roll over and tell the day to fuck off and.... shit. Someone else was here in this bed.

That quick realization was enough to jostle Natalia Pereira out of her slumbering state. She did her best not to bolt up immediately, lest she alert the other person in the bed that there was activity. As she did her best to pry her eyes open to assess the situation, she tried to remember what had happened last night. [i][color=8a2cb5]All right, all right, what did I do again? It was an off-night. We weren't booked, so I decided to drink. Went to Envy, made sure no one getting any ideas with Mina, talked up...[/color][/i] She looked down at the long-haired head still resting on the pillow next to her. Nat craned her neck to get a look but couldn't tell if she inadvertently broken her own loft rule or not. [i][color=8a2cb5]...someone. Brought them home, and I'm gonna guess since there are clothes all over the floor we had some fun. Ugh.[/color][/i] She gave her body a once over to make sure there weren't any bite marks or anything. From a cursory glance, there was nothing fresh. Just the scars from the nights accompanying Khione out when she was learning about the trade. [i][color=8a2cb5]All right, so I probably didn't do anything too stupid. Only one way to make sure though.[/color][/i]

Nat slowly eased her way out of the bed, the cold floor offering another wake up call on her bare feet. She shook it off and moved over to the window, which currently had its blinds drawn to prevent as much sunlight as possible from getting into the main bedroom of the loft. That was going to change soon. Nat quickly shifted the blinds to arouse her unknown bedmate from their slumber, either via pain or ... well less pain.

The person in the bed groaned slightly before sitting up and rubbing her eyes. [i][color=8a2cb5]Well, the lack of screaming would indicate that I did not bed a vampire, so that's a plus.[/color][/i] The lack of clothes indicated that Nat had not broken the loft's "No Guys" rule, which was a relief. [i][color=8a2cb5]Guess I would have remembered if a guy actually managed to talk his way into my pants, since that never happens.[/color][/i] As the girl with the dyed purple hair shook her head, Nat looked down at her previous night's companion. [color=8a2cb5]"Hey you, sorry to offer the early wake-up service, but I got stuff to do, and I figure it's best I don't leave you alone in here to nick all my shit. So you gotta hit the road."[/color]

[color=b19cd9]"Already?"[/color] The young woman looked around before grabbing her bra off the floor. [color=b19cd9]"Shit, I figured you'd at least get me a coffee or something before you kicked me out."[/color]

Nat thought for a second. If her little sister wasn't up and about making noise at this time, it likely meant she was out during her usual Saturday morning café run. That meant she would have her usual tasty treats coming soon. But there would be nothing for this girl. [color=8a2cb5]"Hey look..."[/color] She was drawing a blank on this girl's name. Did it start with a B? Why would she be with a girl whose name started with a B? [color=8a2cb5]"...Britney."[/color]

[color=b19cd9]"Becky!"[/color]

[color=8a2cb5]"Really? OK. Well, whatever, Becky. Look, last night was great and all. And if you need the money for a cab, I got ya covered. But I have some important stuff to do. You know how music labels are, right? Of course you don't."[/color] Nat grabbed her own pair of jeans off the floor, sliding them on as she searched for a top. [color=8a2cb5]"But hey, you come to Envy enough, you'll probably see me there again at some point. We can hit things off again then."[/color] She punctuated this last notion with a wink. She didn't need to know how rare it was for her to be at Envy and not be working.

[color=b19cd9]"OK sure. I have money for a cab. And... you have my number, right? I mean, we did exchange numbers?"[/color]

Nat subtly rolled her eyes. [color=8a2cb5]"Sure, doll. I'll be in there under Dagger. Look me up when you are back in New York."[/color] Odds were Becky was one of those commuter-type party girls. In from Babylon or Massapequa or something stupid on Long Island. Nat found Becky's pants on the floor and tossed them to the girl in order to hasten the expedition process.

[color=8c3b83][b]"DARLINGS I'M HOMEEEE~"[/b][/color]

That sound meant that the clock had run out on Becky's chance to leave without attracting attention. Nat sighed and slid a worn t-shirt over her body. [color=8a2cb5]"Well, sounds like you do get to meet a roommate on the way out. Consider yourself lucky, Bex."[/color]

[color=b19cd9]"OK, well I think I have everything..."[/color]

[color=8a2cb5]"Well, if you don't, I'll mail it to you. Let's go."[/color]

Natalia quickly ushered the still groggy woman out of the master of the three-bedroom loft that was a steal at the price they were paying for. She had hoped Khione had ventured into the living room area, but nope. Still in the entry way. That meant she would see the results of last night's visit to Envy.

[color=8a2cb5]"Oh, hey Khi,"[/color] Natalia said non-chalantly. [color=8a2cb5]"Don't mind the young lady here. She was just leaving. Isn't that right, doll?[/color] Becky made a move to answer, but Nat cut her off. [color=8a2cb5]"Yes. Yes she is. All right talk to you later, doll."[/color] Nat quickly pushed what she could only assume were Becky's shoes into her hands and sent her out the door, locking it behind the one-night stand. She grinned at the veteran vampire hunter. [color=8a2cb5]"So, uh, I think Mina is out getting the usual, so you know, I hope you're hungry and in the mood for a recharge after... I'm going to assume you were out beating something up? Something inanimate at this time in the morning?"[/color]
