(Im not really sure i just had the idea then)
Nikki watched as he slipped into the limo and she flinched when he pulled her to him she made no attempt to get away she just sat there quietly and slow shaking breaths escaped her lungs
(Mm- okay)
Jo takes a breath.
"You good?" he murmurs.
(Sorry a lot has happened between that time maybe we can discuss it in pm's)
Nikki takes a moment to process the question before nodding
"Yes…im fine."
(It's okay! We can do that)
As soon as it took Nikki longer than 30 seconds to reply, Jo knew she was not okay.
"No, you're not." he sighs.
(Thank you, dear to the Nikki and jo pm's we go!)
Nikki just sighed and closed her eyes
"I just want to leave" her voice a barely noticeable whine when she said leave
(Indeed!)
Jo nods, and shoots the limo driver another look that sends him scrambling to get the pair home.
"I'm sorry if I scared you."
Nikki lookes up a the driver her hands held onto jo's chest as she listened to his heartbeat it was frantic but he did just kill half the fbi on a fucking overpass
"Im fine jo."
Jo shakes his head slightly.
"You didn't look fine, and you still don't."
she sighed and closed her eyes
*im okay a swear, i just….tipsy"
"Mm-hmmm. You, a lady who needs a bottle of vodka or some other such liquor, got tipsy off of wine." he snorts.
"I did….it was strong." She sounded embarrassed at the sound of her foolish words but she'll stick with her story
"Mmmm. Sure. Well then, you must be eager to fall into bed and sleep off the alcohol." Jo says casually.
She nodded an annoyed look now on her face
"Yeah…i am." The annoyance made its way through her voice but she barely noticed
Jo smirks, but doesn't take back what he said.
He stays quiet, however.
Nikki sat up and flattened out the small wrinkles in her dress and sighed before crossing her arms
The limo screeches to a stop in front of their apartments.
Jo steps out, opening Nikki's door for her.
Nikki steps out of the limo and makes her way up the main entrance
"Surprisingly steady there, for someone who claims to be tipsy off a bit of wine." Jo comments casually.
"I only get wobbly when im drunk." She states clearly as she reaches the door and turns to him "are you coming or not?"
Jo shrugs and glides up the stairs.
"As you say, dear." he replies, unlocking the door.
Nikki rolls her eyes and walks in after jo with her arms crossed once they got inside their room she slides off her heels which were dreadfully painful and flopped onto the couch with her arms wrapped around her
Jo watches her for a moment, then strides into his room, tossing off his clothes and changing to his going out clothes.
More accurately, his fighting clothes.
"I'll be back before midnight, dear." he murmurs.
Nikki pokes her head up noticing his clothes
"Where are you going? It's late just stay here." Her tone was whinier than she meant to but she didn't care she didn't want him to come back with wounds she didn't want him to fight period
A bitter, slightly pained smile.
"Out. I'll come back in one piece. If you're asleep, I'll do my best not to wake you." he replies softly, pulling on his stomping boots and stepping out the door.
Nikki pouted as he walked out the door she curled up in a tighter ball on the couch and staring at the door as soon as it closed
