Subject: Sometimes you have to crawl before you walk...

She'd never had to work a day in her life before this past two weeks, and it was taking a lot out of her. Her delicate young body wasn't used to the stress of a forty hour week, and on top of that, to be supporting another being nwhen she was just a child herself was more for her to handle. Usually vibrant features were pale and drawn as she took orders, shifting on her shoes absently.

This was his last hope - someone had suggested that he look there incase she was working... He saw her the moment he entered and hung back by the door, bordering between concern for her and panic. (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:37pm PDT
She nodded slightly at the family who was giving her a long attitude, trying to scribble it down as the man got more impatient with her. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:38pm PDT
Seeing her so flustered sparked something inside of him. Within moments, he was at her side - shooting a dark warning look at the man as he murmured an excuse for her and ushered her away. "Princess." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:40pm PDT
She was surprised for a moment, almost ready to melt into his arms and let him ease her out of the pit she was drowning in - but his harsh words were soon echoing in his mind. "I'm sorry, I'm working right now." She squared off her shoulders, attempting to shift away from him. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:44pm PDT
His eyes flashed and an arm around her waist held her near. "Don't blow me off, Cassandra." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:45pm PDT
She frowned, looking around nervously for her boss. "You don't exist, remember?" Hurt laced with her words, her hazel eyes dim as she looked away from him. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:48pm PDT
He had missed seeing her more than he would ever admit, and so now was adament that she didn't leave him. "Apparently I do, because I'm standing right here. We gotta talk, Cass..." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:51pm PDT
She bit her lip, her eyes shifting around the room. "I can't....I am working, my boss is gonna get pissed." -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:52pm PDT
He growled, edging her towards a darker corner. "Your boss can go fuck himself. I... I heard some things, Cass. Talk to me." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:54pm PDT
She frowned, pushing against him lightly. "Ignore what you heard, I need this job Kato." Her voice was somewhat frantic, she didn't want him to know. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:56pm PDT
He didn't lessen his hold on her, eyes growing panicked. "No, you gotta tell me what's going on." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 8:58pm PDT
Her eyes met his for a moment, seeing the panic there made her blurt out the words. "It's not yours, don't worry about it." She frowned softly, dropping her eyes immediatly, not wanting him to be able to tell that she was lying - she was horrible at it. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:00pm PDT
His face fell immediately, swallowing hard - that only made things worse. "What'd you say?" (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:02pm PDT
She shook her head, her voice breaking. "You heard what I said." He was flustering her to no end, she just wanted to get away from him. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:04pm PDT
He shook his head in disbelief - she had been his little princess, the thought of another man with his hands all over her sickened him. "That's impossible..." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:05pm PDT
She shook her head, fighting back her tears. "It's not impossible..." Her voice was choked. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:09pm PDT
He felt numb all of a sudden, dropping his arm from around her. "This isn't funny, Cassandra." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:11pm PDT
She looked up at him, for once looking her age. "You think I think it's funny? Do you see me fucking laughing?" -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:12pm PDT
His hands clenched and unclenched into fists at his sides - dying to touch her, and hold her. "Please stay with me for a bit... Say you're really sick. We can't talk about this now." (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:15pm PDT
She hesitated for a moment before she nodded, leaving him to find her boss and beg off for the night, promising to come in first thing in the morning. "Just a little while." Hurt was lined all over her features, her defenses on rise. -- Cass, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:18pm PDT
He slipped an arm posessively around her waist - welcomed or not, it didn't matter to him - and led her out - heart pounding in his chest, confusion lining his features. (NT) -- Kato, Fri, Aug 30 2002, 9:19pm PDT
