I know. I’m going to have to go back to the hotel eventually, aren’t I? He’s been texting all night. 

Only if you want to, Tucker. If you’re not ready to go back you can stay here as long as you’d like.

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

I’m not upset. I just got nervous for a second. But I believe you. And I trust Aidan. Just don’t – please don’t tell anyone else. 

I won’t. I always have your best interest at heart. I care about you and I’d never do anything to put you in harm’s way.

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

Okay. Promise?

Of course I promise. You’re also allowed to be upset if you are, okay? And you can tell me if you are.

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

Nothing. She was just making sure I was okay. Did you tell her?

I did but only because I needed her help, to help you. I didn’t mean to betray your trust, but she won’t say anything to anyone else, and neither will I.

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

I talked to Miss Aidan. She texted me. She usually texts me because we’re friends. But it’s – she said she knew about what’s happening with Bradley.

... What else did she tell you?

@julietbensen

Miss Juliet, are you awake?

I’ve unfortunately always been a night bird... Is everything okay, darling?

“This isn’t too bad compared to hours long stakeouts in a dark car or window.” Aidan whispers her reply and pushes away what remains of her breadsticks. She wipes her mouth on her napkin and tries to signal the waitress. “Don’t look so miserable. Think about ripping him a new one if you have to be entertained. His face is more punchable in real life-” Aidan stops mid sentence and grins as the waitress approaches. She reaches across the table and lets her fingers brush the back of Juliet’s hand. “Hi. We’ll share a bottle of your 2013 Vietti Barolo Castiglione. I’ll have the risotto and- what are you thinking, dear… the salmon or the chicken?” Aidan flashes Juliet a smirk with a twist of her lips and a cocked eyebrow, her ears still peeled for any movement or sound that comes from Bradley behind her. 

Thinking about punching straight on the nose does seem to help. It puts Juliet’s restlessness at ease, especially when she side glances his way. He’s placing his order, which makes this even more uninteresting, until Aidan decides to make this into a credible game. Juliet’s eyebrow rises, eyes flicker to the fingers on her hand, back to the waitress.  “Are those the only options I have, darling? This menu is quite extensive...” She has to grin and she slides the menu back to the center of the table for the waitress to take. “I’ll take the salmon carpaccio and the arugula salad with the vinaigrette on the side. Thank you”. When the waitress turns and leaves, menu’s tucked under her arm, she playfully rests her chin on top of her hand. “If I had known we were playing the role of a couple I would’ve picked a different outfit”.

She takes the glass of sparkling water while she tears a piece of the free bread sticks on the middle of the table, scanning the menu of the restaurant they followed Brad to twenty minutes ago. Juliet leans over, closer, so she can drop her voice in case someone would want to eavesdrop into their conversation. “We’ve been trailing him for three hours and all we’ve seen him do is buy an ugly polo shirt, lift weights at the gym, and buy coffee before picking this subpar Italian restaurant.” She rolls her eyes. “He’s even eating alone and I’m officially bored out of my mind. Do you want a drink? I’d like a drink. Strong.”

aidanweber‌:

I can trust you as my partner in this, right? 

Of course. We both have Tucker’s best interest in mind.

[julietbensen]

aidanweber‌:

I mean it’s not my first rodeo either, but why does someone who works in a bookstore have experience in this?

I think its better for both of us if we keep certain things on a need-to-know basis.

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

Could be if you read it out loud. But I’m not good at books. You can’t laugh okay? Coco. It’s on Netflix. I watch it almost every night in the hotel.

Lets watch that. How about you sit on the couch and start it while I get you something to drink?

[julietbensen]

justtucker‌:

It’s alright. I’m okay. That’ll just make me itchy to play. We can just.. hang out or – you can do whatever you were doing before I showed up without warning you. 

I was... reading actually, but that’s not a two person activity. How about we watch a movie? What’s your favorite one?

[julietbensen]

aidanweber‌:

I’ll tail his sorry ass. Though you might need to join me if we’re really trying to avoid plan: ‘strangle the bastard’. Every time I hear “VShot” and “Tucker” in the same sentence I just see red. Does Tucker know what we’re doing?

Its not my first time following abusive dominants so i’m definitely willing to lend a hand. Someone has to look out for Tucker though, so I think it should be a split job -- and no, she doesn’t know yet. For now. We should tell her when we know we have a working plan.

[julietbensen]

aidanweber‌:

Well my contact wasn’t willing to give me the identity of her supplier and I’m in no position to push that, so we’re going to have to find another way. 

I’ll ask Tucker when she’s due for her VShot. We could tail him for a couple of days, but I don’t think he’s the kind of guy that’ll get his supply off the street. If he’s getting it from a doctor who’s willing to break his hippocratic oath for this and hasn’t been caught yet, they must be very careful. 

[julietbensen]

aidanweber‌:

Way faster. That slimy, ball-less, douchebag of a Dominant– Yeah, how about you go keep her company while I strangle him, how’s that for a plan? 

As attractive as a hands-on, reckless attitude looks on you, we need to do this the smart way. If worse comes to worse, we’ll talk about the strangling.

[julietbensen]

aidanweber‌:

Wait, let me get this straight… she was so scared that she had to run from her hotel room, and he threatened to take everything… because she’s interested in a woman?

Tucker realizing she’s a lesbian doesn’t fit his agenda. It goes beyond just casual homophobia. Realizing she likes women means she’ll be interested in seeking a relationship with one and dissolving their claim, that she’ll want to find her independence, and that eventually she’ll want to separate herself from the tight, abusive grasp he’s had on her for years. I think she cares about her mother too much to confront him yet, but I think I’ve made her realize she’s not alone, and that she can take him to court for everything he owes her, which means we have to move faster with out plan.
