Room 406, afternoon through early evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After returning from waking up with Cedric, Isabel made a few phone calls, then spent a few minutes fixing what she could of her door.

That done, she curled up on her bed and tried not to shudder as she remembered the weekend. Bel and Dawn, the offer of a threesome. Anders. The creature on the roof. Zero and her camera, a memory which prompted another phone call. Caritas with Greg. And Cedric. Going back to Cedric's room.

Isabel whimpered.

The door was as closed as a door minus a doorknob could be.

"Lonnie was a bitch, and it was nothing to do with who she wanted to have sex with." Latch plate fitted, he snagged the screwdriver and started screwing it in place. "But she's not you. And I think he must have imprinted on Sam or something - she was the first woman he saw."

Isabel wasn't about to argue since she pretty much agreed with him. "I bet she was nice to him."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"She was. She let him sleep in her room." Jack's smile may have been verging onto the doofy side, not that he'd admit it. "Sam, she's--" Satisfied with the latch, he moved on to the knobs. "She's amazing."

"I'm sure she is," she agreed. "I'm glad she was there for you. And thank you for doing that. You really didn't have to."

Jack looked at Isabel over his shoulder. "Yeah, I did. And it's just about done." It was a simple matter to slip the shaft through the hole and twist the knobs into place, before fastening the screws not dirty!!. "There."

"You do good work," Isabel smiled. "What do I owe you?"

Jack grinned. "Promise not to seduce my thingie again and we'll call it even," he teased.

"You're never going to let us live that down are you?" she asked, rolling her eyes. "Don't give him too hard a time okay? He was pretty flaily."

"Isabel," he said reproachfully, gathering up his things into a pile before crossing to stand over her. "I was only teasing. I won't mention it again if you don't want me to." He grinned again. "Much. And I won't. I don't imagine he's feeling much better than you are."

"I know you are," Isabel smiled. "And I love you for not hating me for it. Of course this does put running away to Mexico in a whole new perspective. I know what I'm getting into now," she winked.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I thought Mexico was going to be much more risque than getting drunk and falling asleep. I'm disappointed." Jack leaned over to kiss the top of her head. "And I'm going to leave you in peace, maybe give Cedric a call, see how he's doing."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh no worries, Mexico will be fun." She tipped her head up and kissed his cheek. "You should. And thank you. And I'm sorry."

Jack frowned down at her and grapsed her chin. "Stop that," he said, tilting her head up so he could meet her eyes. "There's nothing to be sorry for. Okay?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know, I know. It's just...I remember it all. Like I lived it. Which I did." Isabel shrugged. "I'll get over it. You go find your thingie."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"As long as you know." He grinned and let go of her, walking over to collect his things. "I think I'll call him, let him come to me when he's ready - a day or two to get over the embarrassment might help. I'll see you, Isabel."

"Bye Jack!" she waved, watching as he walked out the door. Then she stretched back out on her bed and whimpered some more. Because despite it not being her? She had the memories and some of them were pretty whimper-worthy.
