Strange Bedfellows
Part Two: All Fall Down
Earth 2 Goldenvibe AU
It was late when her car pulled up. He was actually surprised she dared be so open about picking him up. Warning bells should have been sounding, but he shoved that aside. The Madame Mayor had made for strange bedfellows but he didn’t mind. She was so prim and proper, her and her stuffy brother. He knew she was holding back; he could see it in her eyes. Lisa was a hellcat but due to her position, has to hold it in. He would love to see her go wild…
The door was pushed open as her lovely eyes met his. “Get in,” she commanded.
He bowed dramatically to her and he heard Leonard groan from the driver’s seat. She looked amazing tonight, draped in faux fur and diamonds. “You look lovely, my dear,” he purred at her.
Leonard groaned again while Lisa just wore her polite smile, it was fake but her eyes were sparkling. “Cut the crap, Ramon. Any news?”
He tisked at her soundly. “Always business with you, isn’t it? Isn’t it a lovely evening? Couldn’t we ditch the dweeb and take in a meal together?”
To his surprise, she chuckled. “You heard him, Lenny. He wants to take in a meal. I think we could bring him by our humble abode.”
“You heard her, Lenny,” Cisco sang out. “Humble abode.”
Cisco grinned as he caught Leonard glaring at him in the rear-view mirror. That’s when he felt Lisa’s hand on his knee. He looked over to her, noting she hadn’t changed her expression. There was nothing in her face or eyes. Glancing at the rear-view mirror, Cisco realized that Leonard was watching her now. His blue eyes watching her face. “What are you doing?” he murmured as he leaned over.
“I’m not stupid, Francisco, I know what you want. You’ve earned…something,” she assured him in a low voice.
He knew this had to be a trap, everything in him screamed not to trust her but there was that small voice in him that said go with it. Oh well, if this backfired at least he’d go out with…a bang. He had to shake his head at himself and get out the thoughts that were starting to consume him.
As they pulled up to the Mayor’s estate, he still marveled at it. He couldn’t help it, it was lush and glamorous. It was very…her. Leonard dropped them at the front door as he pulled the car towards the garage. Cisco was honestly impressed he left her alone with him. As she opened the door and walked in the door, the first thing she did was remove her shoes. As she dropped down to his height, he reached out and cupped her face.
“Do you know how beautiful you look tonight?” he asked.
Lisa smiled, it was a rare, pure smile. “You’re sweet.”
“Is there a reason for your actions in the car?”
She leaned in and kissed him, the kiss was everything he knew it would be. Soft but easily could become something more. “I do like you, Cisco.”
“But?” he inquired, knowing there was something coming.
That’s when there was a blinding white pain and he fell towards he hit floor. “I’m sorry.” She said, unclenching her first, his blood on the diamonds that lined her fingers.
As his vision faded he saw Leonard come in, reaching for Lisa who took refuge in his arms. “You did what you had to do.” He was assuring her.
“He won’t forgive me.” She was saying.
“Does that matter?” Leonard shot back.
As everything faded he heard her whisper, “Yes.”
