Tessa raised a brow but didn't object. "That eager to get me all to yourself?" she purred with a slow grin. She didn't care either way, but she much preferred someone that wasn't grumpy over one that was. "I'm Theresa Hunt, but you can call me Tessa."
Cat shrugged and then lowered her voice. "Jokes on him I was going to wait a month anyway," she explained before taking another sip of coffee. "But yes, mi amore, I wanted to be alone," She slipped into an Italian accent. Maybe her mug didn't just contain coffee.
group
Tessa propped a hip against the counter, crossing her arms loosely. She, too, slipped into an Italian accent as she said flawlessly, "Le rose sono rosse. Le viole sono blu. L'amore non mi ha mai sfiorato, finché non ti ho incontrato."
(Roses are red. Violets are blue. Love never touched me, until I ran into you)
Cat giggled and moved closer to Tessa. "I should probably actually show you around," she said smirking and placing her empty mug in the sink.
group
Tessa chuckled and pushed off the counter. "Indeed you should, lest you get in trouble because of me." She winked. Maybe she could get some inside information through this girl, with her being the Boss's sister and all. Plus, she was bored and flirting with her was quite entertaining.
"Your right, bella. I'm already in plenty of trouble on my own," she said before slipping her hand into Tessa's. she led her out of the kitchen and into a hallway.
group
She didn't really react to Cat grabbing her hand. She just let her lead her through the house without a word. Her eyes darted around the place, always calculating, always looking for an exit. A window here, a door here. Memorize the layout so you can never be trapped. Look for all the locks.
Cat showed her Alex's office, the bathrooms, and told her which rooms she could go in and which were off limits. All while She finally stopped in front of a closed door. "And this is my bedroom," She said before opening the door. She was about to bring Tessa in before she realized Alex stood in the center of her room. His arms cross and anger read on his face.
group
"I asked her to show me around," Tessa lied smoothly. "Tony was a bore and I like looking at a prettier face if I'm going to be dragged around a house." Something else was probably bugging him–if the beginning of their meeting was any indication when they had said they 'found her.'
Cat’s hand slipped out of Tessa’s and her smile was gone. She tried to make her face emotionless. (I've gtg for the night but I'll be on tomorrow)
group
(okay)
(I'm back)
Alex moved closer to the girls. "Tessa if you would excuse us I have to talk to my sister," He said trying to keep his voice calm but it was filled with disgust when he hissed 'sister'. Cat shifted where she stood.
group
Tessa glanced between then for a quick second, then shrugged and left them with a 'ta ta.' She wandered through the halls, still analyzing every exit and path to an exit.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Alex yelled loud enough for anyone outside the room to hear.
(Can we like jump 10 mins)
Alex left the room leaving the door wide open and stopping in front of Tessa. "I know you are just trying to do your job but stay away from Caterina," He warned.
group
Tessa lifted her chin defiantly, crossing her arms over her chest. "Caterina is probably my best shot at finding your little problem. I can get inside information without going to you directly–because that's not suspicious at all–and she can get me access to areas I'm technically not allowed to be in easier than breaking my way in. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have'ta pass on that requirement."
Alex sighed and wiped his face. "Fine, just be careful. She's a liar so don't trust everything she says." He then walked away.
group
"As am I," Tessa muttered. "And I'm long past trusting people now." She looked around, not quite sure what to do. Rawling, the boss of her main family that basically took her in, just gave her contracts to carry out.
Once Alex was down the hall Cat poked her head out of her room. Her eyes were red but she smiled when she saw Tessa. "Let's go mi amore. You haven't seen the backyard yet." She slipped their hand together again.
group
Tessa raised her brows at Cat's red eyes but didn't point it out. She just shrugged and let her drag her around. "Alright then, to the backyard."
They went back to the kitchen, Cat opened the back door revealing the back yard. there was a nice sized pool and patio. She sat down at a chair and pulled two beers from the cooler next to her. She offered one to Tessa.
group
Tessa mutely took it and sat down on a chair next to Cat. "You have no idea how much I needed this," she said, holding up the beer. "Actually, pretty sure I need something just a tad stronger."
Cat looked back into the cooler but just pouted. "They either stole my vodka or I drank it all and can't remember," She complained before opening her beer can. She thought for a second. "Lets play a game!"
group
"Oh?" Tessa was intrigued, and found that she liked the girl's attitude regarding alcohol. It almost matched her attitude. She turned in her seat so that she was sitting cross-legged and facing Cat. "And what kind of game did you have in mind?"
"What about like 21 question. We take turns asking questions. If you don't want to answer the question you have to take off a piece of clothing," She explained smiling. Usually, people do this with shots but they were already drinking anyway.
group
"Already trying to get me to strip?" Tessa teased with a smirk, taking a sip of her beer. "Unfortunately, I'm not shy." Tessa wasn't overly opposed to the idea, so she just shrugged and gestured to Cat. "Works for me. You first."
Cat bit her lip and thought for a second. "Ok let's start with something simple, Favorite color?" She relaxed in her chair and put her beer up to her lips.
group
"White. It goes with everything and compliments my looks." She flicked her hair over her shoulder dramatically with a smirk.
Cat giggled and smiled at Tessa. "your turn."
group
"Hmm, top or bottom?" Tessa asked with a wink and a wicked smile. If she was to work here temporarily, she might as well have some fun while she was here. Besides, with Cat showing an interest in her, it would be easier to squeeze out information from her.
"Bottom," she said without even hesitating. She smirked and winked back.
