Zombies'n'S**t Ep. 35

Reason Has Its' Say

Sophia blushed.  I shifted slightly and offered her my restraints, "You wanna..."  She didn't glance at them.

"Not a chance. Last time you kept trying to get away from me.  I'm going to keep a much closer eye on you.  We talk and I let you out when I feel like it."

I gave her my best glower and settled down.  She hunkered in front of me and pushed her hair aside, "What's your problem.  You are angry one minute, then laughing the next.  You get mood swings when you die?"

I grunted, "I do not have mood swings."  She scoffed in return before saying, "Please, you were totally swinging moods earlier."

I stuck my tongue out at her.  'Cause, what the hell else could I do?  "I was just trying to get you off my back.  You seemed a bit attached to me."  She scoffed.

She flicked something off her shoulder, "What makes you think that?"

I stared at her blankly.  "Really?" I asked her.  "Really?  Thundering Jesus, lady.  You chased me halfway across town.  Threw me into the canal by imitating a VW Bug traveling at light speed, b***h-slapped me around an alley like you were my pimp, then Og the Mighty clobbered me and dragged me to her cave."  She blinked.  I stared at her steadily, "What," I paused dramatically, "Do you call that?"

She started to speak, then snapped her jaw shut audibly.  Then she leaned back, "Huh."

I spread my hands as best I could.  "There ya go, toots."

She glared at me and waggled a finger at me, "What about you, mister moody?  Pick an emotion and stick with it?  What, that time of  the month?"

I sucked in a breath through my teeth, "Niiiiice."

She blinked at me, losing steam, "W-What?"

I rolled my eyes, "I said nice, El Thicko.  I appreciate the wiseassery."  She looked nonplussed, "Eh, what?"  I chuckled and closed my eyes.  I heard her move away as I continued chortling merrily. When I opened my eyes, I saw her hiding a smile.

Her voice quavered with suppressed giggles, "Wiseassery?"

I grinned up at her, "Just got that, didja?"  It was her turn to roll her eyes.

Author's Note

I know this one is several days late. Not like any of ya'll care. Seems you don't get to these until several weeks later, anyway. So it works out.

I'm having trouble figuring out who is speaking. The plot seems to have slowed down - which isn't inherently a bad thing, just something to be aware of.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Part of the problem is that I have less and less time and inclination to do this. I apologize for the confusion, that is definitely something I can work on. Thanks for the criticism!
