A loud knock at my apartment front door is heard the next morning at first light, echoing in the quiet living room where Kendrick is also laid on the couch asleep, causing me to awaken and groan in annoyance at my disturbed sleep.
I slip out of bed nude and aquire my Lexington pistol from the nightstand before swiftly approaching the front door, the plush carpet dampening the noise whilst I swiftly pass Kendrick who groans into a pillow due to being woken up, opening it to be met by an unfriendly familiar face.
"Rise and Shine princess. Lookin' good today huh?" The familiar suited man comments, smirking and crossing his arms as 2 armoured men with assault rifles firmly stand either side of him; with all 3 of shamelessly looking my tired, exposed body up and down.
"Very funny Vincent. You wanna quit bein' a perv or you gonna tell me what you want? Because you better have a good damn reason for waking me up. I'm happy to blind your damn optics and drop all 3 of you right now on my doorstep." I scowl exhaustedly as I stand before him without a care in the world despite him very obviously observing my nude form.
"Just came by to see how my favourite netrunner's doin', that's all. Where's the harm?" He asks, obviously trying to get a rise out of me which evidently works by my swift response.
"Yeah? Well I was doing perfectly fine without your obnoxious presence. I gotta ask though, do you just enjoy cucking yourself? Because it's not like you don't know you can't fuck what you're lookin' at and you're convientently here ONLY in the mornings when you know I sleep naked. Do you think i'm some slut for you to toy with; you're practically foaming out the mouth you mindless sex crazed maniac." I retort harshly with my own amusement laced within, squinting my eyes with annoyance as I continue standing before the 6 foot muscular male.
"Hmm… Guilty as charged honey. But hey, if I can't have you, you shouldn't blame a guy for imagining." He comments creepily as he continues to disrespectfully looks me up and down like I'm an animal at the zoo; to which I decide i've had enough and open my Cyberdeck, displaying copious amounts of data on the Corneas of my Kiroshi optics, hacking into his OS. Once inside his Operating System, I blind his optics with a quick hack and raise my pistol with groundbreaking succession.
In respond, The guards immediately raise their own weapons but the retliation is short lived because I short circuit their Operating Systems and my eyes remain visibly bright neon pink as I look to him with disgust and disdain.
"Yeah you would be wouldn't you? Fuckin' creep. Give me one reason I don't blind you permanently shit bucket." I spit on his blinded face as I keep my Lexington raised with firm precision
The guards lay limp on the ground as I grab Vincent's suit blazer and drag him against the railing, maintaining a potentially lethal position for himz
"Goddamn!- alright I was just playin'..! Shit..". He scoffs and wipes his face before shoving my hand off his suit and standing up, dusting his now creased suit and regaining his vision; blinking his eyes a couple of times and quickly gaining a much more serious look.
"I came to tell you to stay the fuck out of my territory. One of your bitchy friends came by trying to enter a club I run yesterday in search of some random choom; Kiera was her name I think? 'Said i'd be hearing from you if I didn't let her enter so I told her to fuck off and thought i'd visit you personally. You better keep your pets on a short string because if she comes near my territory again, I won't be so fucking generous." He spits out furiously before storming off alone with his pride most definitely injured, murmuring quiet, incoherent curse words.
"Fuckin' asshole." I scoff and slam the door, locking it as Vincent storms off again, turning to see Kendrick who's respectfully looking away, surprised and blushing by my nude body.
"I- who was that-?" He breatily asks with a nervous stutter in his voice; his hand still in front of his face as he continues to avert his respectful gaze.
"Vincent Cawriss. Major perverted Misogynistic prick. Runs the bordering gehtto near here. Been pressing me for a couple months. Asshole never knows when to quit." I answer with an eyeroll simultaneous to me speeding off to my bedroom with an extremely irritated attitude.
"Oh- I- I see. Are you going to put some clothes on..? please..?" He nods in understanding before his embarassed and nervous request.
"Yes yes, don't worry mr virgin, I'm going." I smirk slight, humoured by his timid request.
Once in my bedroom, I pick out a simple black vest, light blue Hoodie; accompanied by pale white baggy sweatpants before soon going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and brush my dishevelled wavy Aubery coloured hair, styling it into a comfortable loose low risen bun.
"I hate to ask, but… Why are you so comfortable with being just like- completely naked around people..? E-Especially men..? Aren't you like… I dunno… afraid?" He questions with a weighted and relieved sigh upon my clothed return to the living room, with my Vape in hand and pistol in pocket:
"It's not like I walk around like that Kendrick, I just sleep naked and he just wakes me up because he's a disgusting pervert. I'm not insecure though, It's comfortable. I know I look really good and there's no shame in it. At the end of the day, I could smite Vincent as if he were a bug under my helpless heel so he wouldn't get the chance to gst his deranged hands on me." I answer carelessly as I sink my entire weight into the plush couch Kendrick is also now sat on.
"I- i'd just've thought that because you're… well you hate us… you'd be less accepting of us." He replies with a more considerate and enhanced expression, constrating to his previous extreme timidity and anxiousness.
"It's like I said yesterday, I don't hate you. You couldn't do anything even if you tried. Wouldn'ta let you stay otherwise. I'm a very pragmatic woman." I respond, enjoying my last few moments on the couch before rising and walking to my kitchen.
"What're you making?" He asks, raising an eyebrow as he gets up and stretches, observing how I grasp some ingredients from the fridge.
"Just some Eggs and Bacon. You know. Basic shit. It's SCOP though so." I state, resulting in the corpo's disappointed sigh, obviously a bit disgusted and put off by the SCOP food.
"Yay… worms and bugs… my favourite…" he responds sarcastically for the first time, rolling his eyes as I dramatically gasp and smirk.
"Your learning Sarcasm! good! They grow up so fast." I smirk as I pet him on the head condescendingly.
"Oh fuck off with that. I ain't your damn pet." He rolls his eyes and swats my hand away with annoyance and frustration.
"Oh that's right. You're still 'saka's lapdog. Well, I'll be here when they inevitably get rid of you." I reply before chuckling to myself.
"They're not gonna "get rid of me", I've got a Scholarship." He argues as he begins to get defensive whilst I continue to cook and brush my hair in the meantime.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night bud. All i'm saying is that Scholarship means nothing to them if you're not a brainwashed slave to the corporation." I remark before focusing on my cooking.
After breakfast passes, he leaves my apartment and presumably returns to Arasaka Academy and I clean up the Kitchen, leaving shortly after to go searching for Kiera in relation go Vincent's appearance.
