Like all the others that came before her, Alexa and I had a light-hearted conversation before it went into a few tangents. It was actually pretty nice talking to her like this but it didn't take long before I started to push the envelope and started to dig deeper into her psyche.
"You know, Quinn still wanted to take you in. What are your thoughts about that?"
"I-I thought she'd—"
"I mean, she had the propensity to change her mind in the blink of an eye. Don't worry though Seb did say— right, Megan said that too that they'd come with you, if ever. You three have to get a tattoo with the number '4' in it though, if you'd come under her wing."
"Y-You mean in her gang?"
"It's not technically hers, it's Mauro's currently—though she has enough influence to have a sub-set of that organization follow her instead of Number 3."
"B-But... Don't you want me here?"
"Sure, if that's what you want?"
"Y-You— You don't care either way?"
"It's not like that. And what say do I have in the matter? A little, maybe, but the decision's up to you. Hmmrgh... If Seb's coming with you, there's also a chance that Marvin and Ashley would follow if you become closer with them. You've talked to those two before, right—"
"I-I did... It's... They're pretty, chill, I guess? Though lately, Seb seems to want to spend time with them more compared to me."
I scratched the side of my cheek, "I mean— Isn't that how it goes if you're not in it fully?"
"What do you mean?"
"I think you know what I meant. Your thing with us and him, he doesn't say it or realize it like you do but if he's really okay with it, he'd just stay put and not look elsewhere. I gave you and Megan the order to stay with your group for the moment but you two are spending a lot of time with us as well, right? Compared to your Academy buddies, I mean."
"..."
"Alexa?"
"Pfft— I'm not talking about your tits. They are great but you have another ASSet, am I right?"
Alexa rolled her eyes, "Of course— Pfft... How much time do we have left—"
I waved her off, "Sorry, not now. I want to but there's a time and a place like I told Nia. Won't be long now though, I missed you both. It's actually hard hitting you two and putting you through that—"
"Nia, huh? The chick with the awesome curly hair?"
"Uh-huh... And why are you looking at me like that?"
"Pfft— You're just drowning in pussy, aren't you?"
"And your word choice is getting more and more out there, heh."
"I mean— I've been with you guys a lot. Only a matter of time before I start talking like most of you."
"Well, that is true in a sense."
"So really... C plus? Any way I can—"
"Nope. Thanks for ur time— Ah. We're about to have lunch now. C'mon, I'm hungry with all this talking."
"Ugh... Just one round, please?!"
"Nope!"
"Hnggh! Just you wait!"
"Exactly!"
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
