I don't mind cleaning.  It's relaxing and gives me time to think.

Regular?

Maybe you could explain that to Sam. The beauty of having a clean bedroom.

Sure

[a_time_slip]

I'll clean his room after I finish polishing the crystal.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare. I'll never get the little bugger to do it if he thinks you will.

[a_time_slip]

It needs to be clean. *Janie's in one of those cleaning moods, and pretty much everything is already sparkling*

This could as easily be NYC, having looked at the Vito thread above.

Pulling rank on me, huh? In my own house?

hmm, it's up to you

[a_time_slip]

I'm trying to keep everything neat and clean. Not pulling rank.

*flail* NYC it is.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

You don't have to, sweetheart. And there's better ways to relax, you know.

Hee <3

[a_time_slip]

I don't want to be judged for my drinking habits. *scrub scrub scrub*

And cleaning has never harmed anyone.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

What? Where'd that come from?

[a_time_slip]

I don't know!

...I told Vito about the other day.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

You... Oh.

How'd that go?

[a_time_slip]

He didn't want to break up with me. I think he blames you.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

So what you're saying is, you told him you kissed me in the hope he'd dump you .. not that you told him it's over.

You know. Like you said you would. Only now he thinks I'm the jerk in all this!

[a_time_slip]

I kissed you because it felt right! Because you were so happy, and it felt like we were a couple. I told him because I felt guilty, not because I thought he'd leave.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think I know why you kissed me! But the fact remains, I'd kinda assumed you'd have told him because you keep saying ...

Forget it. Lets just... I try not to pressure you, really I do. But this is killing me.

[a_time_slip]

Do you realize how hard this is for me? Vito's not just some guy. He keeps popping up the same way you do.

I feel like I'm about to snap.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

Fine. You're with Vito. I could cope with that, swallow my pride and move on.. Just don't make any more promises.

[He can't help his anger. Phoenix turns and leaves the room, storming down the hall to his study]

[a_time_slip]

[There's the sound of a lot of glass shattering, and a few choice curses from Janie]

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

[He slams the study door and paces, flinching every now and then when he hears her smashing any one of his possessions. Fuck it. It's just stuff. He knows she wouldn't damage anything of Sam's.

She can bloody well come and get him, if she wants a reaction]

[a_time_slip]

[After several minutes of noise, there's a long silence, then a knock at his study door]

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

[She might hear muttering and grumbling through the door, before he raises his voice]

What?

[a_time_slip]

We need to talk.

...I broke up with Vito.

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

[At that piece of news, the angel's hear rushes upward.. only to dive straight back into his boots. Phoenix is still angry when he opens the door]

What the fucking shit? One minute you can't, 'cause he's just not the kind of guy you can dick around, then you've done it. Why is it always ME you're dicking around? [And... more associated ranting]

[a_time_slip]

Right, like you wouldn't find someone else in a matter of minutes. [She's typing something on her comm, and just waits for the ranting to stop.]

[ashes-ascended.livejournal.com]

How can you say that? I haven't had so much as a drunken snog for six fucking months! All I can think about is you and the kids.

[He trails off, staring at the comm] I'm sorry, am I interrupting something important?
