Small Cottage

"The sex meant nothing. You should know me well enough to've inferred that. And I'm doing this as an act of charity, couldn't just leave you to die in the streets."

Serenity froze right where she was. That did not just happen. She just got rejected? She never got rejected! Having sex with him had meant NOTHING! Serenity screamed some incomprehensible mix of cuss words, and socked Elroy right in the jaw. "FUCK YOU!"

Elroy ducked her punch. "Hey, hey! It's not like you shouldn't have known!"

"Well, you know what!? I'm kicking you out! Right now. Go away." Serenity said, crossing her arms.

Elroy stood from the stool and stared down at her. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Go away. I'm kicking you out."

"You can't kick me out, I'm the one who's paying for this!"

"I can do whatever I want to. And right now, I don't want you here. So leave."

"No."

"Back away. I will cut you." Serenity said, her voice wavering.

Elroy crossed his arms, looking quite smug.

"Don't make that face! I will!"

"You're hot when you're angry."

"Yeah, so are you." Serenity said, frowning, not really liking where the conversation was going.

Elroy shifted his weight to his other foot. "So, are you going to kick me out?"

"I was going to try. It probably wouldn't have worked. I like having you around too much. Plus, you're a great pillow."

"Of course you wouldn't." He sounded awfully sure of himself.

"Whatever you say." That was sarcasm, of course. "I so could've taken you."

"Pfft! Yeah, right."

"I could've. You wanna try me?"

"You know what? I do."

"Alright then. Whenever you're ready. Ladies first, after all."

"You're more of a lady than me."

"I was trying to be insulting. Don't just stand there. Go ahead and hit me."

Elroy looked her over. "Ehh, you're rather beaten already."
