42 Veronica (9)

Alex looked at her and slightly blushed. There was a thump at the door. Alex clicked her teeth then got up to open the door. I can hear mumbled voices coming from the front door area.

Alex came back in the living room followed by Ryan. Alex cleared her throat as in to tell us to clear the room. Naylie stood up. "I'll take my leave now, thank you for having me lady Alex," She said sweetly towards Alex with a slight bow before departing out the door.

I dabbed off Ryan and headed upstairs into my room. I closed the door and turned around to an unappealing sight. Veronica was sitting on my bed with her legs crossed and her arms folded looking slightly annoyed. I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Why can't you just go back to where ever you came from and leave me the hell alone," I said with disgust.

She rolled her eyes and uncrossed her legs. "My young sir that is no way to address a lady of my caliber," She said formally.

I rolled my eyes and said, "what's with you succubus, you go from talking with a modern tongue to your native tongue in a second." She giggled and dashed in front of me holding my chin. I slapped her hand away from my face.

"Don't touch me," I demanded.

She looked disappointed and turned on her heels letting her yellow dress flow with every movement. "a hundred and seventy-three years I've been around and never have I've been treated with such disrespect," she said with a slight laugh then closed the distance between us, till she was nearly laying on my chest.

"A hundred seventy-three years?" I repeated.

"Hmm aye, I died during the Victorian era," she said pleased, "I was quite the lady, the daughter of a very noble figure till my father was over thrown and my family slaughtered by bloody guards." She turned away and sat back on the bed then crossed her legs with a displeased look. "the only thing I can remember about my death is the fact I was beheaded by the command of a rival nobleman whose son I refused to become a young courtesan in his harem for."

I looked at her displeased face and leaned on the door. She looked me up and down as if studying me.

"Your little girlfriend was there too, Naylie, she was there with Tatianna," She said with amusement," I knew them while I was still alive, of course I didn't quite know of their nature, but I knew them." She grinned and rubbed her hand across her chin as she stared off into the distance.
