[IC] Sin City: A Woman To Kill For { Jazz & Angel }

[Jazz]

Chris' face softened as Tom ranted, feeling his concern for Becky but there had to be a way for Tom to calm down and forget about Ava for now. "i don't know what we can do for Becky, but there is nothing we can do about this Lady of the State. The only thing we can do is avoid her at all costs and make sure she doesnt try and split us apart." He rested his head on the other man's head softly, his eyes closed, not wanting to think about someone who didn't know yet even know or seen. But that was last thing he wanted to do.

Tom managed to sit himself up as Chris' head leaned against his own. He made a sigh of relief that he was at least in Chris' arms and not in someone else's. He adjusted himself until his head was against his shoulder, looking up at him. He just needed to relax and focus on something else. With his hand snaking to Chris' own hand, he intertwined their fingers together.

[Jazz]

Chris shifted with Tom so he could become comfortable. Pulling his significant other closer when he was more comfortable, his hand being found by Tom's, Chris intertwined their fingers together. Smiling, he stayed with Tom like this awhile, burying his face lightly in Tom's hair. Of course he wasn't really keeping track of time. But soon enough throughout the night, he lifted his head and kissed Tom's forehead. "Let's go to sleep. I am sure we can do something tomorrow." He suggested.

Tom made a smile before taking Chris' hand as he led him to the bedroom that they both share. Going to the bathroom to change, he came back out shirtless with pajama pants. He managed to tuck himself in before he left a gap for Chris to lay down.

[Jazz]

Chris got up from their spot, the glass of water in the other hand, being led to the bedroom by Chris. Getting changed while in the bedroom while Tom used the bathroom, His suit discarded and on him now the was some pajama shorts. Setting his discarded shorts on a chair within their room and closing the certains and shutting off what lights were on besides a small light within the kitchen, he then turned and headed back to the bed to see that Tom was there. Sliding into bed and tucking himself in after having scooting closer to his lover, wanting to pull him close where Chris felt safe when he dreamed.

The next morning, no sunshine came through the window. Just the usual cloudy skies. Tom woke up in Chris' arms and he stroked his chest in light circles. Managing to slowly get out of Chris' grip and changing into a white collared shirt with leather pants. Slicking his hair back with a gel, he combed it out to give it the shine. After changing, he walks to the kitchen and notices Shellie in nothing but her undergarments and, as usual, one of Tom's white collared shirts. He didn't mind for Shellie to wear his clothes but this seems to be a habit as she wears them every morning. Walking up behind her, he snaked his arms around her waist so his chest was against her back. "Morning darling", he said to her before leaving light kisses on her neck.

"Thomas. I never got the chance to say 'Welecome Home' last night", she teased with a giggle. Tom reached for his coffee after he let go of her.

[Jazz]

That morning, Chris was sleeping soundly with Tom in his arms, peaceful even when Tom had managed to get out of his grip. Later on Chris had woken up to feel the lack of body her had slept close to. Making a mental note that his lover was most likely awake and getting ready for the day. Getting up, Chris stretched before getting dressed in a casual t-shirt and denim jeans. He combed his hair neatly before coming out toward the kitchen. "Good morning." He said, walking over to Tom, planting a kiss on his cheek and doing the same with Shellie.

[AngelBites15]

Shellie gave a blush and a smile after Chris gave her a kiss. "How was the show last night?", she asked him before she walked to the fridge and grabbed a milk jug. "I hope you got home safely without no trouble", she said to them with a chuckle as if she was parent talking to two teenage kids. She eventually turned around and leaned against the counter. "It was dazzling", Tom grinned before he took a sip of his coffee.

[Jazz]

Chris smiled as he was getting himself some coffee and listening to Shellie and Tom. "It was amazing. We got to talk to and hang out with Nancy Callahan." Though that made the smile fade. He was relived that his back was turned toward the two while he was making his coffee. But her brought the mask of the smile back when he turned and sat next to Tom.

[AngelBites15]

"You guys didn't run into Jackie Boy, did you? Last night?", she asked them as if she was worried and that she was twirling her hair with a finger. Jackie Boy was her main and huge concern. He was an abusive ex boyfriend whose mind is corrupted and messed up into a psychopath. He was a dangerous cop as well and he didn't respect the authority of law enforcement or other civilians. He was to be well avoided at all costs.

[Jazz]

Chris looked over to Shellie when she asked about her ex boyfriend, Jackie. His blood boiled when he thought about the no good, (and some other cuss worlds later) cop that lived in the city. Chris learned well to hide these emotions like this, his smile remained but faded a little. "I didn't see him last night."

[AngelBites15]

Shellie sighed in relief as she walked over to Chris and wrapped her arms around his neck while standing behind him. "Good. He just comes over and bangs on my door while being just as drink as his pals", she groaned in annoyance as she remembered Jackie Boy banging on the door and threatening her with the harshest words she ever heard.

[Jazz]

Chris felt Shellie wrap her arms around his neck while standing behind him, which he didn't mind, only sat there and drank his coffee while she talked about Jackie Boy. "Did he tonight? I didn't look like he come in here last night." Chris stated, sitting back in his seat a little, feeling more comfortable.

[AngelBites15]

"No. He didn't come in last night. He only stands in the hallway and bangs on the door and accusing me of cheating on him. I'm not cheating, I'm just...looking out", she trembled in her saying of words as if she was uncomfortable talking about Jackie Boy. She did remember that one time when he indeed cane in here and Chris sucker punched him to leave her alone. Of course, he didn't listen.

[Jazz]

Figured that this was making Shellie uncomfortable by talking about him, Chris leaned back and pat her head. "So what is on today's agenda? Anyone?" Changing the subject, and hoping to bring everyone back to the reality that was at hand. Like the daylight that was currently on the other side of the clouds. He hated it when it was gloomy and cloudy.

[AngelBites15]

A banging sound came at the door which made Shellie jump a little. Tom stopped in his tracks as he heard it as well. He watched Shellie walk to the door slowly with caution before peeking through the hole. A man in a black trench coat and short black shaggy hair. It was all characteristics of one man. Shellie turned to the men in the kitchen, mouthing "Jackie Boy". Tom put his coffee down and looked at Chris. Shellie made a swinging arm motion telling them to be quiet.

[Jazz]

Chris looked at the door when someone banged on, setting his coffee down on the table and turning to see Shellie going to the door to see who it is at the door. When she mouthed Jackie Boy, Chris' eyes instantly narrowed and just wanted to get up and punch the god forsaking asshole in the face and groin, then call it a day. He was tired of the 'lack of a man' coming over to harass Shellie and making her suffer. So the best thing he did was get up and walked to his room so he would be a bit more at self controlling actions. He could stand the guy and just wanted him to leave people alone that did nothing wrong instead of harassing them. Stopping at the door to his and Tom's room, he pointed to the bedroom and went inside to let him know where he was going to he could calm down a little instead of being loud and doing something he would regret.

[AngelBites15]

The door was banged on again and Shellie grew a little cocky with a smile. "Forget it, man. You can bang on that door all day if you want to but there's no way in hell I'm letting you in", she called to Jackie Boy who was leaning against the door outside. "I can't believe you're doing this to me, Shellie. After all we've done together. It has to mean something to you", a raspy deep voice was heard as he answered her. It was deep and raspy which sounded as if he was a teeny-bit drunk. "Huh. Plenty of us pay for what we do since nobody would flirt with a guy who's face is all purple and covered in bruises", Shellie retorted. "I know you're angry, baby, and I forgive you for that", Jackie Boy answered her in his deep and raspy voice. "There's a difference between getting hunked off and a guy who gets laid off. Especially, the total jerk loser who beats up a woman to make himself feel like a man!", Shellie defended herself. Tom, who was watching, was pretty impressed by the way Shellie actually defended herself this time.

[Jazz]

Chris had been sitting on his side of the bed when he heard Shellie from the other room. Looking from the floor to the door entrance, he continued to listen to her as he heard a faint sound of Jackie who was seeming to try and persuade her. Surprised that Shellie was defending herself. She must of finally hit a point where she grew a back bone toward him and wanted nothing more to do with the man that always did wrong to her. Standing up, Chris headed to the entrance of the bedroom and peeked out to see Shellie by the door. Smiling he was rather proud of her. Chris always treated her right and never beat her. That was in the past. He had never met anyone so insane and an asshole like Jackie, and just when he met the man the first time, he gave off the aura that just wanted to beat the living hell out of him. But he did his best not to step in until it started getting out of hand. He had to step in a few times till he found out that Shellie broke up with him, though happy for her, Helmsworth got worried, thinking that Jackie would do something to get back at her for their downed relationship. But now, Chris watched, and waited. Waiting till Jackie made the wrong move for him to step in and settle it.

"Those words hurt, Shellie. It's one thing for you playing hard to get", Jackie Boy said as he felt falsely offended. "I...am impossible to get. Do yourself a favor, Jackie Boy, and get help. Yeah, get help. Like...a shrink. And well...get lost", Shellie hesitantly told him as she shook in a nervous manner. "Shellie, just open the door", Jackie Boy told her in his usual deep drunken manner.
