While he plays the role of big alpha male…. he does have a soft spot for one of his own. He knows it’s going to be the fucking RUIN of him. Who knows… he might be predicting the fall of his own kingdom. He wants to give tough love, but can’t seem to growl at her any further.
“HEY– I’m sorry for giving you shit. You’re a fuckin’ BADASS to come this way despite all the shit you’ve heard about me. I’ll call Phoebe and set you up with work, but don’t go fucking it up,” he leans up to reach into his pocket for his wallet. He picked a few bills and held it out to her. “Here– now fuck off, you’re a fucking downer to drink with. Unless you have more you feel like sharing with me.”
Sage’s eyes widened. Did the big bad Hades, just a p o l o g i z e ? Surely, she was just hallucinating from lack of a good high. She wasted no time in nodding in agreement with his orders. ❝I won’t fuck it up. PROMISE.❞ Not now that he’d done her a favor. If she ever expected to stay in his good graces, she would have to prove herself at least a little bit WORTHY.
She found herself further surprised when Hayden pulled out his wallet and couldn’t help but w o n d e r if this was what it might have been like to grow up with a dad who would offer extra lunch money or some cash for a movie. The, of course, she realized that such odd thoughts were likely a result of the ALCOHOL. Maybe his kindness was as well. Shaking her head, she bit her lip. ❝No... thank you. Oh wait... there is one thing. I found out that my neighbors are cops, so if anyone is doing a pick up from there, they need to be more intent on looking inconspicuous.❞
