Hopefully Sanctuary

I was wondering if that would come across the way I wanted but I wasn't sure how to word it. Roxy is basically saying it wasn't a guest that Devika heard. She was trying to tell Devika who their visitor was without saying Stewart's name.

"We did have a guest." Roxy snapped as she grabbed an apple off the plate. She had never been much of a fruit eater. Not that she didn't like it. It had just tended to go bad before she finished it. She didn't like to waste things so she rarely bought it. "A guest is someone you want to see." She didn't want to see Stewart ever. The further away he was the happier she was.

"Why the hell do people have peanut butter with apples? I've never understand that." She wasn't fond of peanut butter. There was something about the texture that turned her off. "You know you don't have to make me snacks. I'm a big girl. I've been taking care of myself a long time." She told Devika. She didn't want the empath thinking she needed someone to take care of her. She didn't. She had been independent most of her life.

Roxy stepped out of her room once she was dressed. She waited for Jess. She nodded. "It should be just about ready." She headed down the hall. The sooner that they eat the sooner this day would be over.

As they walked towards the kitchen they would hear multiple voices. It appeared that it was no longer just Maxwell and Reginald. Frustration flashed through her. It had to be the board members. Business was the last she want to deal with but at least it would get their attention on her sex life or lack there of.

Roxy headed to the formal dinning room. Her father and Maxwell sat at the table with four other man. They were all her father's age. They all stood when they arrived. "There they are. Please be seated girls so we can begin. After breakfast we have a lot to discuss." Reginald indicated to the two empty seats. Unfortunately the seats weren't next to each other. They were on opposite side of the table.

"He isn't going to wait forever." Stewart commented as he touched Roxy's arm. She shivered. It took everything in her not to pull away. She knew if she did it would only make things worse. She refused to do that. Even th0ough she found the touch of a man disgusting, especially Stewart's, but she would deal with it for now. Hopefully she would make figure out a way to deal with the situation.

"He'll wait as long as it takes." Roxy snapped. If her father didn't want to damage Devika he had to wait. He knew how fragile empaths were. He couldn't put Devika to work for him until the woman could control her ability. Roxy hoped that wouldn't happen any time soon. She needed time to figure out how to protect the other woman.

"I'll tell him you said so." Stewart opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom. He knew just how far he could push things. Roxy relaxed a little as she followed him out.

"You do that." She followed him to the door and flipped the sign indicating that she was closed. She stormed upstairs needing to vent. She hated to disturb Devika but the empath probably already knew she was coming.

"You didn't wake me." Roxy reassured Jess. She was almost sure that she had been up first. Not that mattered. They were up. Breakfast would be served soon. Just the thought of dealing with Maxwell and her father angered her. She tried to push the emotion away. It was a waste 0f energy that she would need later. She nodded when Jess suggested that they get ready. There was little else they could do.

"Yea. Let's get ready so we can get this day over with." Roxy turned back into her room. The sooner she got dressed the sooner she could get out of here. She didn't need her father or his world. She was doing fine on her own. The only reason she had any connection to him was because of her brother. She wanted Drake to know that she cared. She hadn't abandoned him. She could have left and never looked back but she hadn't because what happened hadn't been his fault.

Its alright.

Hopefully Sanctuary

That's fine. I didn't think it was a big deal but I just thought I'd see if that affected anything.

Hopefully Sanctuary

I'm not sure if it matters or not. But Roxy and Steward are downstairs in the shop bathroom.

Stewart followed her into the bathroom. She crossed her arms over her chest as he closed the door. Roxy tried to slow her heart. She didn't want to alarm Devika anymore than necessary. She was determined to keep the empath as safe as possible. Which meant keeping her in the dark until the bubble between them was stronger. Devika had to be protect from emotions before she got pulled deeper into her world.

"What the hell do you want?" Roxy growled as Stewart closed the distance between them.

"Your father wants a report." He answered.

"Which I sent. Devika is adjusting but she still gets overwhelmed. She can't control when she accesses emotions." Roxy had typed out a report a couple of days ago. She included as detailed as she felt was safe. She couldn't completely lie. Her father would know so she stuck as close to the truth as possible.
