Chapter 66 - 40 (1/2)
Angela rested her head on Thomas's shoulder and he wrapped his free hand over her waist pulling her close.
Selina was in deep thoughts about whether to agree to their deal or not. The threat they posed to her and Irene is making her not directly reject their offer. Who knows what they will do to her ward if she rejects them immediately.
Selina's mind was an open book to Thomas. He can follow every thought whoch run through her mind.
These options were from attacking when he least except knocking him out and freeing her ward, Irene to using the smoke bomb under her utility belt and running away with Irene.
Thomas was pleased to see that this young girl has such an important place in her heart, that she never thought of running away without her.
If she ran away, he won't attempt to catch her again. She has not seen their faces and cannot make any connection with their true identity.
Thomas high profile action made him wary of doing anything in Arkham. He can do things himself but every action of his will be under the scrutiny of many people. He will feel suffocated and act reckless.
He is sure he will do that. He has that much belief in himself. He had gotten accustomed to being the centre of attraction due to the system but it doesn't mean he can withstand the gaze for too long.
He gets nervous and do something similar to an angry outburst. These outbursts have a wide range of effect both on the people around him as well as the area he is in.
He gave her time to think but his periodic drumming of Irene's head, made her afraid. Selina is getting nervous with every passing second. She felt that should she reject his offer he will not hesitate to kill Irene than he will deal with her himself.
She reluctantly agreed and said, ” I agree, but will you reveal your true identity?”
” how do you know we haven't shown our true face?” Angela asked nervous. She hasn't been of sane mind since that little love spar with Selina. She is acting like a high school girl in the presence of her crush.
Thomas found this action of her cute and was envious at the same time. He has other thoughts which made him shift nervously. The previous display of love between Selina and Angela made him yearn for it and even hope that he has a chance to join in the future.
Thomas was too lost in his thoughts to care about the little argument between the two beautiful woman.
” If you haven't noticed hot stuff, when we were making out your face mask is a little torn from the sides.” Her words made Angela blush fiercely while Selina continued, ” They don't make them as strong as they did in the past. ”
She has noticed that Thomas eyes are glazed, he is in deep thoughts. She felt this new boss of hers must be thinking of a task to test her loyalty. As such she didn't put much thought to it. She turned her eyes to the target. She has the blush on Angela's face and decided to have some fun at Angela's expense.
She started her ” Ahh, it seems like you loved that, babe. How about you and I have a little private time at a later date? We can have so much fun together. ” she licked her lips seductively and added, ”If you want we can even ask your little boyfriend to join us in the fun. I hope he can bear with both of us. ” This has made Angela stumbled upon on her own feet and fall on the floor.
