The knock on Vic's door came late in the evening. It was the waning period of time when things were winding down, clubs were closing, people were retching in the street or stumbling home to get lucky (sometimes both). Others had long since settled in for some much needed rest. Typically, Sidney Gunn would have lumped herself into one of those categories, along with staring bleary eyed at the TV screen or computer monitor. Not tonight though. It was something she rarely did, something that wasn't really in her character. But even Sidney Gunn could be desperate.
That's how she felt tonight; sitting huddled in the cab of her beat up green Oldsmobile. A cigarette dangled from between her plush lips, twitching occasionally as she rolled it from side to side, taking puffs ever now and then. Long, slender digits held tightly to the faded wheel before her, the frayed material of her fingerless black gloves blending into the darkness of her over-sized black hoodie. The hood was drawn securely over her head, along with a dull gray wool beanie, completely covered her neon teal locks. A few strands poked out from the sides here and there, but for the most part they were hidden. If it hadn't been so late at night she would have dawned a pair of sunglasses, instead she opted to tug down the tip of her hood further, trying to melt into the warm folds of her jacket. It was a different style of dress that Sid sported tonight, something far lower key for the bright spitfire. Gone was her camouflage jacket several sizes too big for her build, or the teeny tiny shorts and violently loud leggings. In their place was a T-shirt two sizes too big (with no logo mind you) and a pair of old jeans. She finished it off with a pair of sneakers that had seen better days decades ago. It was an unflattering style, something one wore when they didn't want to be noticed or were just feeling like shit (or was still into that black T-shirt and jeans phase). Certainly not Sid's style, but it served its purpose tonight. Sid was out for a singular purpose tonight, one that rarely fit her style.
Sid was on the run.
Not from the law or anything illegal mind you. It was a situation of her own doing, one for which she was horribly inadequate to handle on her own. Never one to ask for help, Sid had let the situation simmer to an uncontrollable level. She hadn't intended for that, after all she had dealt with it as she had most others. She tried to simply ignore it. The whole thing had started innocently enough when Sid got a bug up her butt about working out. But she couldn't settle for just anyway of staying fit, nah, not Sid. After weighing her options with a few google searches she had decided upon taking up learning Karv Maga. Why not? A little self defense never hurt right? Being able to kick some ass was always appealing and it would do for Sid's definition of fitness. The fact that the trainer was super hot was just another feather in her cap. Not surprisingly he expressed an interest in the lovely little vixen that was Sid Gunn. She enjoyed it, after all he wasn't a neckbeard staring at her tits but more like Adonis in the flesh. Her first line was asking about grating cheese on his abs, because, well, even her flirting was pretty crude. But it worked; she could get away with murder sometimes when she flashed that sinner's smile and nibbled her bottom lip. Sid's attention lingered for about as long as desire to keep up the arduous physical activity of learning a fighting style, which was about a week or so. Like a spoiled little brat she callously tossed her new toy aside when she got 'bored'. Sure, Stefan was drop dead gorgeous, with a body that anyone would drool over and very well-endowed, along with not being too shabby in the sack. But they had absolutely nothing in common. For Sid the fitness thing was a passing interest, a fad that she would quickly forget about. She had no desire to expand upon it, running, lifting, weights, oh hell no! For Stefan that stuff was life, turned out he was one of those people that could have a conversation about running and be serious.
Sid got bored with him all too quickly and did what she always did. She just fell off the face of the earth. She had only been to his place a few times, luckily they hadn't ever found themselves back at her place. So it was easy to just disappear. She stopped coming to the gym, stopped answering his texts and voice messages. And that was that, until tonight. By now she had deleted his number and forgotten about the pretty, stupid instructor. So when the text flashed across her smart phone she had barely paid it attention. At first it didn't even register who it was. At this point Stefan had long since dropped the facade of being a friendly, good-natured sports freak. To Sid's chagrin he turned out to be a clingy dickwat, one of those that doesn't take no for an answer. The text was more or less a threat; she had made a mistake snubbing someone like him. Sid, who had already finished off a bowl of the finest green and washed it down with half a bottle of spiced rum, was really tired of his shit. She finally decided to respond back to him, giving him a verbal tirade that would make a sailor blush. Content that she had finished it, the next text sucker punched her so hard she snapped sober within an instant. She had finished her text with an offer to eat her shit directly from her ass. So when he took her up on that offer, spelling out her address along with apartment number, well, that got Sid's attention. Her drug addled mind couldn't fathom how he could have tracked her down. Not once did she consider the fact she had written it down several times when she signed up for classes at the gym a few weeks earlier.
Her mind couldn't register her actions as Sid ran around her apartment, throwing on anything that would render her incognito. She barely remembered to grab her car keys and wallet as she made a mad dash to her car. She clutched her pocket knife as she walked as casually as she could, not that the tiny knife would do her any good against someone who trained people to disarm others of said pointy objects. Much to her relief she saw neither hide nor hair of Stefan as she leapt into her car and peeled out of the parking lot like a bat out of hell. She had no idea where to go, who to go to or what to do. After driving about with no destination in mind Sid finally found herself out MacGregor's. The bar was packed this time of night, it was the perfect place to linger and feel some safety. Duke, the doorman, was at his regular post, which brought about a mild sense of comfort. It was enough that Sid could sit in a booth, drown her sorrows and think. She did very little of the later and much of the former. By closing time Sid was three sheets to the wind and just as lost as when she started. She stumbled out without much fanfare, ducking into her car and lurching off into the night. She told herself she couldn't think of anything, anyone to go to, but that was just a lie she had swallowed all night.
That's how she ended up here, her car idling in front of Vic's building. She knew she could turn to him, if there was anyone that would accept her into his house without question it was that bastard. She also knew why he could do that, the uncomfortable and terrifying reality that he had feelings for her. Beyond just that near perfect ass and dirty mouth, or her impressive gaming skills. Somehow, for reasons beyond her understanding, he liked her. She knew it, hell, he told her at least once before. But that kind of shit was too much for her free spirit to deal with, so she did just what she had done to Stefan. The irony of turning to Vic for help wasn't beyond her, if anything she could find some dark, sick humor in it even as she fought with herself to get out of the car. Swallowing her pride was something Sid rarely did, by now the thing was so big she surely couldn't get it into her mouth. Her mind reeled as she finished cigarette after cigarette, addled by the booze, trying to figure out her angle. Anything besides telling him the truth. This whole thing was just temporary, Stefan would lose interest soon enough and move on, Sid could go back to being her horrible self and world would keep on trucking. So Vic didn't really have to know anything, right? All she needed was a reason, something that he would buy at face value. That was when it hit her, the thought brought a smile to her lips before she ripped the cigarette from between them and tossed it out the opened door. Quickly Sid pushed up from the car seat, far too quickly for her body to properly react. She stumbled, catching herself on the wall before she pushed up and shuffled her way towards the entrance. All she had to do was play it cool, be her typical aloof self, maybe throw on a little sexiness, some seduction for good measure. Easier said than done, especially for a drunk Sid. One was never as charismatic as their drunken self thought, Sid was no exception.
She made her way through the hallways on pure instinct alone, stumbling a few times as she used the wall to brace herself. By the time she got to Vic’s door she was breathless, her cheeks flushed a rosy hue, along with the tip of her nose. Without a second thought Sid pounded on the door, a thunderous boom that lasted for several seconds as she continued.
“Vic! C’mon, open up man!” Sid called out before she prepared herself, throwing on her best captivating smile and ‘bend me over right now and fuck me’ look. Of course, it wasn’t as sophisticated or alluring as she thought. Indeed it was more of a goofy ‘I had one too many and need to sleep it off…or maybe barf’ look instead.
