“So what about dinner?” Terri asked Stiles, confused.
“Oh, you thought I meant tonight?” Stiles, responded a slick slyness in his tone.
“You know what? You go to Kansas, give my regards to Toto.”
Terri huffed in annoyance and walked back to join the rest of the agents who were packing up.
Lex sped up his pace along the corridor, catching up to Terri as she walked down the winding hallway. He had been worried about her the past couple days and was determined to get her to talk. He fell in beside her, his shoulder bumping hers gently to get her attention. Terri looked over at him, a half-hearted smile on her face.
“Oh, nothing. Just thought I’d walk with you to the garage.” Lex walked beside her in silence for a minute, considering his words. “Terri, did something else happen in Kabul? You’ve…you seem kind of off since we got back.”
Terri sighed and looked over at her friend, her lip tucked between her teeth as she thought.
“It’s nothing, really. Just, Stiles pissed me off.”
Lex’s nostrils flared slightly at that. Of course it was Stiles. So help him, if that bastard hurt her…
“I’m just so tired of playing his little waiting game, you know?” Terri spoke, interrupting Lex’s thoughts. “I knew it was a mistake to ever even try to start something with a field agent. ‘Specially someone like him. It’s always one mission after another; and when he is back for a couple of days, it’s like I’m the furthest thing from his mind.”
Lex’s hand balled into a fist at his side, his other gripping tighter to his travel mug. She didn’t deserve to be treated like that, Stiles was a fucking fool for keeping someone like her waiting. He didn’t deserve her. Fuck, what he wouldn’t do for the chance to show her all the love and attention she deserved. If only he wasn’t such a coward.
He looked over at Terri as they headed through the building to the parking garage, taking in the angry expression on her face. She seemed a bit lost in thought for the moment, so he simply continued to walk in silence as they made their way through the rows of cars. When they reached her car, she turned abruptly to face him.
“You know what, I’m done waiting for him.” She looked him in the eye, her gaze searching as she paused. Her lips twitched in a small smile as she took a deep breath. “Lex, do you - would you like to go get dinner? I could use the company.”
Lex sputtered, her request taking him by surprise. He cleared his throat and blinked.
“Oh, uh, sure. Did…did you wanna go from here, or…?”
“Um, you came on your bike, right?”
Terri smirked, her eyes brightening for the first time in days.
