"I've stayed away far too long it seems..."
Laila shakes her head as she scans through the months of promos she's missed. After Taufik had broken her arm she had taken the opportunity to fly home to Singapore to see her parents.
"Now you know how I feel!"
Bliss appears from her kitchen and sets a mug of steaming liquid beside her laptop. She offers a tightlipped smile in appreciation becore taking a sip
"Much needed and better than any barista could muster. Isnt that ironic? You go to places like starbucks to avoid doing the work yourself and not only do you pay more but it is absolutely horrendous the product you receive for the effort"
Bliss shruggs taking a sip of her own
"We are a society of convienence."
"Don't get me started Kahlan I might just be here all day and I'm sure Blaze would not appreciate my extended stay"
Bliss rolls her eyes
"You know you're always welcome here"
"Yes I do know that."
There is a silence between the two women before Bliss breaks it.
"You haven't answered me about Christmas. My Dad said the invitation extends to you as well"
"Although I appreciate the gesture I must decline. Its not like I'm offended by the holiday. I'm more Americanized then most immigrants but I think I would rather order in and pretend it's just an ordinary day."
Bliss frowns
"Don't do that, you'll give your self more wrinkles"
Bliss' mouth drops into an angry scowl.
"More? I don't have wrinkles to start with!"
Laila takes another taste of her 'better than starbucks' coffee before giving sn answer, further antagozing her friend
"You may not see them but I do. I have an eye for that sort of thing. My mother is an esthetician afterall"
Bliss crosses her arms across her chest, the anger crepping slowly and slowly higher up her face. Laila has learned where Bliss' breaking point is after pushing her to the limit as was shown by her recent trip to Nevada lockup
"I tease Kahlan. You really do need to let things roll off you're back more. You really do need to get back in a ring. Has he brought up the C word again?"
Bliss' expression suddenly changes fro. Anger to slight distress.
"No. Not since the other day. He knows that im still not comfortable with that direction. I already got married when I said I never would... but children?!"
She shakes her head in disbelief
"In your defense you were intoxicated at the time"
Bliss rolls her eyes
"But he convinced me to stick with it. I tried annulment which he decided to embarrass me by bringing up the fact that technically if you consummate a marriage it can't be annulled. Then I tried divorce and his solution was to rip it up and flush it in front of me. Every other attempt to divorce was a similar fashion."
"What changed?"
Bliss smiled
"I started wanting him to reject it so we would still be married. I guess it wasn't the idea of failure that scared me it was not marrying the right guy."
"And now... children..."
She shakes her head
"I still need more time with that one."
"Understandable"
Laila watches the latest installment of Reloaded and smirks at her brief involvement. The Fake Santa was expecting a different reaction then what he got.
"Yes far too long. MPW has continued to degrade and I think its finally time to go it alone. I appreciate the support that Blaze and Baxter provided me but I need to do my own resurrection of sorts. I don't need a group to make an impact I just need a big enough force and I already proved I can do that. I still have some scores to settle however having stayed with my parents helped me realize some things. Its not up to me to punish Taufik for his crimes against me... that is in Allah's hands. I am done letting him still control me with my fear and anger. He will get his uppercommence. And I will be there when that happens. But no... I believe both Valentina and Chrissy have not gotten the full brunt of my rage and so who am I to deny them of this. Further to that, this red haired pop tart did not start off well with me so we can add her to this list."
Bliss smirks
"What is so amusing?"
"You sound like me"
Laila shakes her head
"Maybe in some respects but there are substantial differences between us. But I am honored to be compared to you my teacher"
"When is your first match?"
"That has yet to be determined but I will be backstage at Civil war regardless. I never fail at making great entrances at PPV'S"
"That you don't"
The scene fades out as Laila smirks at the screen in front of her.
