A few days after the brief reunion with her Familia stable mates, Laura was within the confines of her personal quarters preparing to take a long hot shower after a day of running around Toronto on shopping binges with her good friend Casey. As she glances back at the numerous bags of clothes and shoes laid across her bed, she thinks to herself that it was so good to see her old friends again. It was just nice to have your girlfriends around when you needed them and it seemed like Laura needed hers quite a bit as of late. She just exhaled a long breath as a sign of exhaustion as she grabbed her towel and made way for the bathroom in her room.
As she entered the bathroom she made way over to the tub. Taking her time moving the shower curtains back and slowly seating herself on the on the edge of it she grabs the knob marked with a H for hot and slowly turns. After placing her hand underneath until she could feel the stream begin to warm, she then reached for the other knob marked with a C and did the same. After a few moments of evening out the temperature to her liking, she then took a pink bottle of her absolute favorite bubble bath, pouring a nice amount into the tub slowly watching the bubbles immediately start to form into a scene that looked like she'd be bathing in a sea of clouds within the next few minutes. Placing the bottle back on the counter of the sink she then begins to undress herself. Her shirt and and jewelry first. Flinging the shirt over the top of the door of the bath room and placing her jewelry along the sides of the sink. Her bra was next as she reached back, unhooking it with ease and also slinging it atop the door where her shirt lay also.Then as she unbuckled her belt, her shoes and blue jeans followed right after.
Within moments she's reaching over and shutting off both knobs in the tub, slowly stepping inside and gently laying her body down in the warm water. Before long her entire body is submerged under water as she lays her head on the back splash her eyes slowly closing as she does. A smile slowly shows across her face, feeling the stress and activity of the day slowly being caressed away by the warmth of the water and the bubble bath. She knows that this was just what she needed at a time like this and she decides that she was going to lay as still as possible and enjoy every single moment of it.

It had been almost a half hour since Laura set foot in the warmth of the much needed relaxing bath water. After her brief relaxation time and cleansing she proceeded to exit the tub, securing all of her belongings in her hand as the towel fit snugly around her form heading out of the door.
Once she stepped out of the bathroom, her nose seemed to catch wind of a very familiar scent. Faint enough that it wasn't quite possible to pin point it's exact identification. She stood by the door of the bathroom for a few moments surveying the room as if searching for something or someone. During the brief scan of the room, she noticed nothing out of place or out of the ordinary. Shaking it off she continued to her bed across the room, placing her jewelry and other belongings on the nightstand beside. Within a few minutes she had thoroughly dried the traces of water from her body partly clothing herself in her bra, panties and a pair of shorts from the confines of her luggage still spread out across the bed. Now standing in front of the mirror, she proceeded in grooming herself as the thoughts began to immediately run through her head.
The past 5 months had been tumultuous to say the least. A roller coaster ride indeed it was and it seemed that the ride was far from over once...She shook that thought off as she made way back to her luggage sprawled out over the bed, retrieving a small radio from it. Quickly searching through her things, she found one of her favorite selections of music. John Mayer's Continuum. Placing it in the small radio, she hits play and slightly adjusts the volume allowing for the sounds to radiate and bounce off the walls just enough for her to still hear from across the room. Then making her way back towards the mirror as she's begins to sing along with the music being played...

After finishing up her grooming, Laura had made her way back to her bed, removing the luggage and other various items scattered about her planned place of rest. After getting somewhat situated she finally lay her tired body down on the soft queen size bed. Turning the volume down just enough to provide her with something soothing to aid in her journey to sleep. Laying back on the bed she grabs the comforter at the foot of it and partially unfolds it, placing it over the bottom half of her body.
She then exhaled a sigh of relief. Glad to finally be in a comfortable position of rest and relaxation. Taking in all of the days events and now it would all come to an end. For her at least. Slowly but surely the fatigue began to make itself apparent and before long Laura had faded into a deep sleep. The only sound apparent in the room the selection of music she had chosen on this day...
..Almost an hour and a half later, Laura's eyes open as she attempts to focus on the ceiling above her. She slightly moves her neck trying to shake the stiff nap off that she had just had. Within seconds she is closing her eyes back once again attempting to attain more rest for her tired body. Then as she lays there listening to the music which was strangely still being played, she caught wind of that same scent she did earlier. Her mind began to process the information and she realized it was...Cologne?...Then the more she thought of it the more she realized that there was only person...One man who wore that cologne that she was ever in direct contact with.
Then reopening her eyes...Focusing on the ceiling above her once more as she wonders just what was going on...Then turning her head to face the nightstand where the small radio still play her favorite album...Her eyes immediately bulge wide open at the sight her eyes see...Someone she wasn't expecting to see so soon sat across the room...Leaning back on the couch directly beside the door to the bathroom area...Seated in the corner area of the couch...One arm propped on the arm of the furniture piece while the other lay across their mid section seemingly gently tapping out the rhythm reverberating from the small radio on the nightstand...With a genuine look of shock across her face she slowly ...Began to rise...Well on her way to an upright sitting postiion...Within seconds she is just that and turns her body to face the unexpected visitor...Then...The visitor realizes that they've been found out...And...

...The words that left his mouth...To confirm that she was in fact NOT in a dreamstate at this moment in time...
[glow=red,2,300]I see you're surprised to see me Love...I wonder why?...Hmm?...[/glow]
The look on his lovely lady's face is of complete utter shock with a mixture of speechlessness. A quick glance towards the radio that still played the John Mayer album and a trace of a smirk comes across his face.
[glow=red,2,300]Mr. Mayer really outdid himself this time did he not?...His best work to date in my opinion...But there are as always a few standouts in my mind...One would be the one I can guess you personally like quite a bit..."I Don't Trust Myself"..."With Loving You"?...I see by the look on your face that you know EXACTLY what I am speaking of...A riveting song isn't it?...[/glow]
Vegas then slowly begins to lean his body forward...Finally coming to have his elbows rest on his thighs as his and Laura's eyes meet almost with an impact from across the room. He could see the confusion...The shock...The fear... All in her simultaneously. He could feel it in her even from across the room and as he continued on she sat on the edge of the bed...Eyes intently fixated on his as her wide opened eye gaze didn't seem to sway the least bit...
[glow=red,2,300]...But...As much significance as the said piece DOES have when pertaining the "situation" between...[/glow]
Without speaking the words, King Vegas opts to relay the rest with his right hand...Making a motion symbolizing her...And him...
[glow=red,2,300]The million dollar question Love is...Did you really...Really believe...You could just...Up and run?...Hmm?...Or was this all just a cry for...Some...Attention?...I do believe you have some explaining to do Love...Care to begin...Now?...[/glow]

Laura's eyes stayed squarely on King Vegas seated across the room the entire time he spoke. She knew for a fact that she'd see him again but she didn't think it'd be so soon. He had a knack for showing when least expected.
[glow=red,2,300]Cross...When did...How...How long have you been here?...And...[/glow]
She stops and looks over at the door to her room which doesn't even seem to be tampered with in the least bit.
[glow=red,2,300]How did you get in here?...What...[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Doesn't matter Love...Now...Back to my question...Did your brain suddenly malfunction or were you suffering from delusional thoughts and suggestions?...[/glow]
He allows for his words to set in a bit while she remains seated on the edge of the bed. He knew she had no real answer to his inquiry yet he continued to stare a hole directly through her as he waited for some response.
[glow=red,2,300]I mean running away dear is not something the Familia practices or condones Love...Just...Up and leave huh?...Ha Ha...I don't know what's more funny...That you did it or you thought it would somehow get you away from...Whatever you were trying to "escape"...[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Escape? Cross I just needed to get away from the madness that was going on at the time is all. I hadn't seen Casey in a while and I figured why not pay her a visit and see how she and her sisters were. That's all. Then I heard about the thing back in New York and...Well didn't know exactly what to do then...Just kinda waited around here for...[/glow]
Her words are cut off as she notices him rise from the couch he sat on. He had slowly made his way over to the door of the room and proceeded to put all the locks on. As he stood by the door, he removed the shades from his face, placing them on the dresser beside the door. He turned to face her as he slipped his hands in his front pockets. All the while shaking his head as in disappointment.
[glow=red,2,300]Cross?...[/glow]

Removing his hands from his pocket...He slowly brings his arms up to fold them over his body...Then as he begins making his way toward where Laura sat...He began to speak...
[glow=red,2,300]...Distrustful actions Laura...Distrustful...Neglectful too I might add...No notification...No phone call...No return phone call...No forewarning...Hell...Not even an apology now that I stand here before you...Ahhh...Tsk Tsk Laura...You should be ashamed...
[/glow]
Laura goes to offer her opinion on the subject but the raising of his palm swiftly silences her in an instance...
[glow=red,2,300]Your actions of the past few months have been...Unacceptable Love...They have quite taxing and frankly...I'm VERY disappointed in you...Now...A question for you...What do you think we should do to solve this volatile situation?...Hmm?...
[/glow]

She still sits on the edge of the bed. But now her eyes are pointed straight up towards his. Noticing the cold stare in his eyes. It immediately put fear into her mind as she knew some of the things that had transpired following previous times that look had been present. She knew he'd never physically do harm to her but what scared her about that was that it meant she couldn't predict what he WOULD do. And knowing King Vegas...He WOULD do something...And then...
FADE TO BLACK.....
