I Know It Took A While... (Rose)

Tommy Templeton pulled up to his motel at the edge of town and killed the engine on his bike. Between helping the others on the semi-team he was on and his own personal business for The Boss, he hadn't a lot of time to himself in the last few months. The situation down in New Orleans was a nice break and Kassi helped out, but Tommy still wasn't in a good place.

He loped up the steps to the room and closed the door behind him, dropping his bag on the floor. He set the 24-pack of beer on the small table to his right, determined to get started as soon as he laid down for a moment. A wave of fatigue hit him just then, the result of pushing too hard for too long. He needed to call Joe. He needed to call Roxanne about Joe. He pulled his wallet from his back pocket and a slip of paper fell to the floor. Probably another receipt. Need to keep those for when I file...

He bent down and picked up the slip of paper and turned it over.

Rose: XXX-XXX-XXXX

"Oh man. How did you forget to call her?" he said to no one in particular.

We have no time to indulge in petty fantasy.

"Yeah, I know." Tommy said, pulling his phone from his pocket. He dialed the number.

He hoped she'd pick up.

"Logan-ing up and talking to Pops about it," Rose said. "I been, ah, I been kinda avoiding him... avoiding everybody, really, since we got back."
wild_child: (Neutral)

"Little bit," Rose said. "Couple of m' other friends too..."

She shook her head again. "I come by broodin' natural-like. Or close enough to it. Pops is the same way sometimes."
wild_child: (Confused)

She nodded. "Yeah. I know. Used ta think I was pretty fearless... but this scares th' heck outta me."
wild_child: (Smirk)

"Hey, that's SOP fer me," Rose said. "I get knocked down, but I get up again."

"Not too shabby," Rose said. "Nearly caused a friend of mine ta have a panic attack just by lookin' at him. Course, I was sorry about it, but it's kinda funny now."
wild_child: (Grin)

There was nothing supernatural about Rose. She could just be that darn scary. Plus, Dolemeck was the nervous type anyway.

She grinned. "Ya got yerself a deal, Tommy-Boy."
wild_child: (Laugh)

"Is th' Pope Catholic?" she asked with a grin.
wild_child: (Grin)

In a move that would have had anyone who knew her's eyes bugging out, Rose took her arm. Most people would be pretty surprised to know there was a real feeling girl under that gruff exterior.

"Is there any other kind?" she asked.
wild_child: (What the flamin' heck?)

Rose grabbed a cue stick and carefully chalked it off, starting to line up her shot.

She wasn't expecting the question, but she was good about not letting it show. "Honestly?" she asked. "I like a guy who doesn't mind livin' on the wild side. Guy who likes ta have a good time."
wild_child: (Smirk)

[personal profile] wild_child 2014-11-30 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Rose took her shot, sinking a solid ball in the process.

"More like the second," she said. "Kinda guy who thinks a bar brawl ain't a bad way ta spend an evenin'."
wild_child: (Laugh)

[personal profile] wild_child 2014-11-30 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Rose snickered a bit herself, though she missed her next shot.

"Ya do live an interestin' life, Tommy-Boy."

Rose laughed. "Only good part of the mid-west is th' U.P. of Michigan. And only then 'cause yer nearly in Canada."
wild_child: (Laugh)

"Just about all of it," Rose said, "But I really love the wide open spaces. Plenty of room ta just run wild, get away from people, all the distractions."
