[[Yay! I had something planned for that too! I'll start it, assuming we're still doing the double thing.]]
I stood at my window, looking out at the busy streets of London as I had become so used to doing. I had one of them, before the week is out, he says, and I'll have him! Surely the judge will follow, to find where his beadle went, and I will have him too.
---------------- Needless to say, Pirelli wasn't in a good mood. I lied silently on my cot, scared to say anything. Honestly, though, I didn't want to. He broke his promise, he hurt Toby. Sure, it could have been worse--a slap isn't anything new--but he said he'd try to stop, and he didn't.

I walked up the stairs with a tray of food for Mr. Todd. He'd been quiet, as he always was, but he seemed to be a tiny bit cheerful since the contest in the market. I brought the tray in and set it on the dresser as I always did. "Good evenenin' Mr. Todd." I said, a smile on my face as turned to him.
-----------------------
I layed beside Ella, still fuming with anger and trying to think of a way to get back at that..."Todd" fellow. Ha, "Todd". I knew his secret. And Sweeney Todd was about to remember who I was. That brought a smirk to my face. I turned and wrapped myself around Ella. "Time to pay up?" I asked, kissing her cheek.

"Hello." I said, turing to Rose. I was happy, but wasn't about to let all of my joy explode for all to see. I'm not like that, and I wouldn't want to...scare anyone with it. "He'll come soon, I'm sure of it."
-------------- "Yes, but I'd like to talk to you about a few things first." I said, kissing him. "Like Toby. And my life. Important things." I said, hoping now was the right time to bring up things he normally hated talking about.

I looked at him, shocked. He addressed me. A smile spread across my face. "Sure is nice to see you happy." I said and walked over to him by the window. "Nice good at the contest today. I didn't realize how skilled of a barber you were." I held out a glass of gin. "I bought a bottle. You did say I could buy you a drink, right?"
----------------
I sighed. "What did you want to talk about?" I asked, letting go of her. "What about Toby and what about your life?" I stared up at the ceiling.

"Yes, of course." I replied, and allowed her to poor me a glass. I don't understand why she's being so nice to me. I never did anything to warrant it. "To revenge." I said, holding my glass up.
------------- I sighed. "Please don't be like that, darling. It'll be a quick discussion, and then you can pay me." I said, and curled up beside him. "Forget Toby, then, since I know you won't change on that. I want to...I want...do you love me? Or am I just some whore to you?" I asked, sounding a little harsher than I wanted to.

I smiled and held up my glass as well. "To revenge and new beginnings." I corrected and clinked my glass to his before taking a long drink.
------------
I thought about it for a moment, taking in what she said. "Yes." "Yes what?" She said, sounding a little annoyed. "I love you."

I took a drink and watched Rose finish hers. I felt something change again, and quickly looked away. I was confused, and the last thing I needed was something to distract me from my revenge.
----------------- A huge smile spread across my face. "Really?" I asked, and he nodded. I kissed him. "Well then, that makes what I have to say easier. Darling, I want to get married one day. And have children, before I get too old, or die. Whichever comes first." I said.

"You ok?" I asked, setting the glass down on the windowsill. He got that look in his eyes again and it quickly changed. "You dont seem yourself lately, sir."
-------------
I resisted the urge to groan. "We dont have money for children right now, dear..." I said wrapped my arms around her again. "How bout we focus on the vaccation first?"

"I'm fine." I replied, and sat in the chair, looking away from Rose, towards the door. I didn't want to deal with this now. Later, maybe, but not now. My Lucy, I loved her...it wouldn't be right. I'm not like those other men, who move on.
--------------- "Fine. We'll go somewhere nice." I said, somewhat disappointed. I kissed him and smiled, trying not to cry. "What about marriage? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just me and you. And Toby, of course. The three of us...how does that sound? I can deal with that for now."

I frowned and walked over to his chair. "Are you sure? You seem....confused. What are you thinking about?" I asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. I was getting dangerously close; overstepping boundaries I promised myself I wouldn't cross. It wasn't my place but I was getting overly curious. And my curiousity...tended to take over.
--------------
I sighed. "I'll see what I can do about that. But first...I've got to take care of something. Don't you worry." I said and smiled. I kissed her lips forcfully for a moment. "Now, would you like to be paid now?" I asked.

"I said I was fine, and if you won't accept that, then leave me." I replied, and stood up from the chair. I went to the mirror and began fiddling with my razors, trying to find ways to avoid talking to her.
---------------------------- I returned the kiss and smiled. "I'd like that very much, sir, if you're willing." I said, and remembered the first time he paid me. I was so scared then.

I sighed. "Should I take your tray down? Or are you going to finish that?" I asked, sounding a little rude. I crossed my arms. He was so infuriating sometimes. Sometimes it just bothered me that he couldn't be a human being...
----------------------
"You sure you're ok with being paid this way?" I asked, suddenly concerned.

"Take it." I responded, equally as rude. She didn't deserve this, I know she didn't, she was concerned, but I couldn't help it. I returned to my chair and sighed.
---------------------- I nodded and kissed him deeply. "Of course I am." I said, and began unbuttoning his shirt.

I sighed and took the tray. I stopped at the door and dropped the tray on the box beside it. I turned back to face him. "Are we gonna talk about what happend earlier?" I asked, half glaring at him. ----------------- "Ok. Good." I deepend the kiss and pushed her down against the bed, crawling on top of her. ((annnnnd...thats where i stop. ))

"It meant nothing." I replied. It...hurt me.....to be so cold to her, but it was something I had to do. I couldn't let any feeling show until everything was done.
------------- [[okay. we'll let those two go until....*sob* her final morning with him.]]
