"If I get home and the dishes are done, I will be thoroughly shocked," Emerson joked as she finished filing through one pile and moved onto the last that just held these weird vintage soft tank tops, held together at the sides by leather strings. "And if he hasn't left, then I must be special." She rolled her eyes playfully, grabbing a purple tank with brown leather in her size. "Do you want to look at anything else?"

Jacqueline nodded slightly "Yeah I'm ready to go" she said with a smile and waved slightly before popping out of the store. This time she arrived back in the car, and she again broke off the sensor of the things she grabbed and then hurried back to the front of the store.
Emerson rolled her eyes, for real this time as she adjusted all the clothing over her arm before traveling to the front of the store to pay. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy so she got out quick, shouldering the two bags she had as waited outside in the middle of the mall to wait for Jacqueline.
Jacqueline ran back over to Emerson and smiled "So did you want to check out any stores?" she asked. She was surprisingly having fun, and not just because she was stealing stuff. She could see why her brother liked hanging out with her, she's kind of cool.
"Ah... No, I'm good. Was there anywhere else you wanted to check out?" Emerson asked, looking around. She sort of wondered where the people inside the two stores they had been in thought Jacqueline had disappeared to, but decided to drop it. Wasn't important if she didn't get caught.
Jacqueline shook her head slightly, "Nah I'm good" she said with a smile. "Though I could really go for a shake" she said and started walking towards the food court, "What about you?" she asked and looked back at Emerson.
"Oh, yeah, that sounds really good," Emerson agreed, following after Jacqueline into the food court. She stopped in front of a frosted drink counter and looked up at the menu, absently running her hand over her hair.
Jacqueline ordered a vanilla shake and actually paid for before stepping away from the counter. She walked over to a table and sat down while she waited for Emerson. She silently sipped on her shake and watched the people around her, mostly scoping out cute guys.
((Sorry I missed this.))
Emerson smiled a little bit when Jacqueline actually paid for her drink before moving forward and ordering a chocolate-strawberry shake. She paid and waited by the counter, smiling at the guy behind it as she accepted her shake and turned to look for Jacqueline, heading over and sitting down at the table once she spotted her.

Jacqueline smiled at Emerson and took another sip of her shake. "I thinking of going over and flirting with that guy" she said and pointed to a cute guy a few tables over. "Just haven't decided if it's worth getting up for yet" she said and took another sip of her shake.
Emerson turned slightly to check him out subtly. "Oh, wow..." she trailed off, arching her eyebrows to give a smirk at Jacqueline. "Hey, if you turn so you can't see him well, I'll wait and see if he's checking you out." It felt silly, acting like a human schoolgirl, but it seemed acceptable around Jacqueline.
Jacqueline eyes Emerson like she was crazy for a few moments before shrugging slightly. "Whatever" she said and turned slightly so she couldn't see the guy. She sighed softly and looked around at different people, actually seeing if she could find an even cuter guy.
Emerson watched the guy for a moment before going, "Oh... Ew..." As her eyes flickered from him back to Jacqueline. "He has a tongue piercing. Like, a ring on the tip of his tongue." She watched him for another second before he caught her staring. "Well, he was certainly checking you out. He licked his lips." Emerson shuddered, sipping her shake.
Jacqueline smiled "Seriously, that's hot" she said and looked over at the guy. "The tongue ring will kind of make it interesting," she said and bit her lip in thought for a moment. "Be right back" she said and stood up and slowly walked over to the guys table.
Emerson shook her head while rolling her eyes, sipping on her shake while openly watching the interaction a bit. She smirked a little and started watching the crowd when Jacqueline actually reached the table, wondering if Jacqueline planned on leaving with him if things went well enough.
Jacqueline and the guy flirted a bit and then she gave him her number before walking back over to the table Emerson was at. She slid back in to her seat and smiled at the angel, "We're going to meet up later" she said and took a sip of her shake.
Emerson gave a half-smile as Jacqueline slid back into her seat and told her what had happened. "Smooth, demon girl..." she said, casting a glance as the guy looked at Jacqueline once more before standing and leaving. "So... Would now be an okay time for me to ask you something? About that guy before, oh, what was his name... Ludo?"
"Uh.... yeah sure ask away" Jacqueline said and stood up and finished up what was left of her shake, since she just got a small, and threw the cup away. "What'd ya want to know?" she asked and sat back down at the table
"Well, it just seemed like you were going to say more before Bones interrupted you earlier. Was I wrong?" Emerson asked, her brow furrowing slightly as she sucked on her straw a bit more. She knew every time she asked Bones about his past (well, not every, but more the harder stuff to discuss) he got a bit upset. If it would upset Jacqueline, she'd drop it. It was probably a bad idea to ask behind Bones' back, anyway.
"Your right and on this subject there's a pretty good reason" Jacqueline said and sighed softly. "Bones is the one that killed our brother" she said and let another sigh as she tried to find the words to explain. "You see, Ludo is the leader of this faction in hell, like I said. But what I didn't tell you was that initiation is killing someone in your family. Preferably someone you were close to. To cut all ties ya know." she said and let out a heavy breathe. "Bones found me and Cody, when we were younger then a year old, and he raised us until we were old enough to take care of ourselves and a bit longer. Him and Cody were really close. They hung out a lot" she said and let out another heavy sigh. "When we found out he joined Ludo Bones cut the ties himself, told him never to come back, because well Ludo was bad business even for a demon. Anyway, later that day Cody came back to get initiated, it wasn't going to be over until one f them was dead and well you obviously know who won" she said and frowned. "Crispin really didn't want to do it, wasn't even using any lethal weapons against him, but it still just kind of happened" she said. "I was there, hiding under a table, tried to stop it, but kind of got thrown across the room so I just stayed out of it"
Emerson listened as Jacqueline spoke with a frown, stopping from drinking her shake as she didn't feel like it. Now she knew why Bones got so upset every time she pressed and didn't want to talk about it. She felt guilty, like she should have just waited for Bones himself to tell the story. "I'm sorry," she said quietly once Jacqueline finished. "Why did he want to join Ludo?"
Jacqueline shrugged slightly, "I don't same reason humans join a gang I guess" she said and sighed softly. "It was just really hard to believe, he was a nice kid, didn't belong with men like Ludo and his gang." she said and shrugged again. "But it was a long time ago, details are fuzzy, maybe he wasn't as nice as I remember I don't know. What I do know is that if you tell Bones I told you, he'll kill me and then I'll kill you"
Emerson was about to suggest that maybe their brother had felt lonely or lost, but realized it might have hurt Jacqueline's feelings, so she didn't. "I figured Bones would kill me if I asked you, so how about we just keep it to ourselves?" she suggested, knowing Jacqueline would agree.
Jacqueline shook her head slightly and stood up, "Yeah whatever" she said and walked away from the table. She sighed softly and walked towards the door they came in. She got there pretty quickly since the food court was right next to it and walked outside and over to the truck.
Emerson bit her lip as Jacqueline sort of took off, and she stood up and threw away her trash before jogging to catch up with her, sliding her shopping bags up on her arm. She finally caught up with Jacqueline by the truck and reached her hand out to touch her arm. "Hey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I didn't mean to upset you."
Jacqueline pulled her arm away from her hand, "The question didn't bother me" she snapped and turned to glare at her. "The fact that you think he was lonely or lost that's what pissed me off. What you think demons don't take care of family or something. We're not there for each other when we need to be. Because your wrong, I can't think of one time when Crispin hasn't been there for me when I needed him, and it was the same for Cody" she yelled angrily. "He was the one that decided to betray his family and become friends with a bastard like Ludo" she said her eyes actually flashing dark blood red as she spoke. "Oh and by the way I can read minds" she said and got into the drivers seat.
Emerson's jaw clenched while Jacqueline yelled at her, a muscle feathering while she made and unmade fists of her hands. She was about to yell back but took a deep breath as Jacqueline stormed back to the truck, instead walking to the other side and opening the door to speak, not getting in. "Jacqueline, the only reason I thought that was because that's what I did. My brothers paid little mind to me when I needed them, so I rebelled by fleeing to Kylist. And now I don't see them at all." She was actually quite angry that Jacqueline had allowed herself into Emerson's thoughts. "You're aware that I didn't know your brother when he was alive, so I'm not sure why you would take that so personally, especially when you don't have permission to read my mind." She sighed, checking her pockets for her keys and wallet, considering walking home. "I said I'm sorry."
"Whatever" Jacqueline said and rolled her eyes before starting the engine and driving away. She mind reading power was actually quit new, so sometimes she just heard the thoughts of the people around her, not like she tried to read Emerson's mind. She was kind of like Bones when it came to family, very irrational and very defensive. So she drove away from the mall and didn't look back. She drove all the way back to Bones's house and stormed inside.
Emerson groaned when Jacqueline just drove off, though she was actually grateful. She took a glance at the mall one more time before beginning to walk, grateful the mall wasn't too far from the shop. She silently willed Crispin to not be there; she didn't want to have to tell him what had happened. But also, it would probably be worse coming from Jacqueline. She took her time, but a few minutes later she was back at the shop, shouldering the door open and dumping her bags on the service counter.
Bones had done the dishes, and then went home. When Jacqueline came home he was asleep on the couch, Copper laying on top of him like she'd a lap cat. He groaned slightly when he heard the door slam shut and lightly pushed Copper off of him. "What's going on?" he asked his sister."Nothing, your girlfriend's a bitch that's all" Jacqueline said and walked up the stairs and into the room she called as hers a long time ago. She slammed the door shut and locked it before going to lay on the bed.
Bones sighed, "Well that's just great" he said and ran a hand through his hair. He debated about going up to talk to her but decided not to. Definitely was not going to get in the middle of that.
Emerson figured out that Bones had left, and grabbed her bags and headed up the ladder. She huffed, hanging up her new clothes before checking in on the kitchen, seeing that he had actually done the dishes. The angel bit her lip and closed her eyes before climbing up the ladder to go to her small personal library, although she probably wouldn't be able to read. Now was the time she really wished she had a joint.
Bones sighed softly and stood up he grabbed his jacket and keys before leaving his house and getting into his car. He wasn't sure if she wanted to talk but he kind of wanted to know what was going on, and well he knew his sister wouldn't tell him. So he drove to Emerson's shop and parked on the street in front of it. Then he walked up to her door and knocked lightly.
As her finger's brushed the spine of a book, Emerson groaned loudly when she heard the knock on the door, debating ignoring it but just taking her own time getting downstairs. Her cheeks burned when she saw Crispin, coming to the door and opening it. She looked up at him before quickly away, wondering how Jacqueline had already told him about the argument. "Hello," she said stiffly, sort of half-standing in his way of coming in.
"You okay" Bones asked, since it was clear that she was avoiding eye contact of any sort. "What happened while you were hanging out with my sister?" he asked with a small laugh. "Thought I'd come by and see, and tell you that she has a even shorter temper then me and she gets over it quickly"
Emerson rolled her eyes. "I'm fine," she muttered. She didn't exactly want to let him in, but it seemed sort of easier to talk, so she moved aside and closed the door behind Bones. "And I'm pretty sure you would be even more upset if I told you. I asked about something I shouldn't have, and she read my mind after she elaborated, and was pissed." She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning back into the wall.
Bones nodded slightly, "Yeah she doesn't really have control over that yet" he said and shrugged slightly. "Look I don't care what started the fight, and I really don't want to know what question you asked" he said, cause he didn't feel like getting angry at anyone. "I just came over here to see if you were okay, and to see if you wanted to talk" he said. "Jacqueline can be a lot to handle"
Emerson was grateful to Bones for saying he didn't want to know. "Maybe she is a lot to handle, but it really was my fault." She sighed and looked away. "Thanks you for coming over." Emerson bit her lip and looked back up at Bones again. "But no, I don't want to talk."
Bones nodded slightly and smiled small, "Okay, I understand" he said and over to her. He lightly pulled her close giving her a small hug before kissing her softly, "I'll see ya later" he said and kissed her forehead before turning around to leave.
Emerson still stood poised to kiss Bones again, so when he turned around she kind of slumped, but instead of turning herself she leaned over and kissed his cheek before nodding. "I'll see you later," she said, turning around to head back upstairs.
Bones smiled and lightly took her hand and pulled her back for a real kiss. After a few moments he pulled away and smiled at her before "I'll come over tomorrow" he said and turned to leave the shop and went out to his truck.
A flash of a smirk went across Emerson as she remembered their set date the next day, watching Bones' car head out before she locked her door and headed back upstairs.
Bones drove back home and went inside, he quickly checked to see if Copper needed more food and then feed her. Because of course she need more food, she ate a lot. Once he was done taking care of his mngwa he went upstairs and into the bathroom where he stripped out of his clothes and took a shower.
Emerson changed out of her jeans and shirt into a working tank and shorts to go tend to her rooftop garden, realizing she hadn't in a couple days, which ended up making for a couple hours of work. Once she was finally satisfied with the state of the garden, she headed to the kitchen and made a sandwich, eating quickly before taking a shower. Once she was done, though, a few minutes afterwards she climbed into bed, exhausted after everything that had happened.
Bones stayed in the shower for a while before actually starting to wash himself. When he was finally done he climbed out and slowly dried himself off and pulled on his boxers before hanging the towel back up and tossing his clothes in the laundry basket. Then he went to his room and laid down on the bed.
The next morning, Emerson woke up a but late in a panic, realizing that she and Bones hadn't set up a time for the date. What if he was already on his way? She shot out of bed and finger-combed her hair, grabbing the purple tank top she had bought and some pants from her closet. Downstairs, she rushed to grab a granola bar and eat it while she made sure the back door was locked.
Bones woke up a in the late afternoon with a groan. He rolled out of bed and walked over to his dresser. He slowly got dressed in some dark blue jeans and a light blue t-shirt. Once he was done getting dressed he begrudgingly walked to the bathroom and tamed his curls. Once he thought it was good enough he went downstairs and made some coffee.
A while later, when Emerson looked at the clock and decided not to stress about being ready when Bones came over, she made a pot of coffee and sat at her shop counter to drink it while filing through orders and bills.
Bones drank a few cups of coffee before feeding Copper and leaving his house. He didn't hear Jacqueline anywhere in the house so he figured she left or was just went out. He got into his truck and went to work. He just wanted to see how things were going there before going over to Emerson's.
Paying the bills was extremely dull, but it was a pastime while waiting for Bones, an it had to be done, so Emerson took the time to finish all of them, stacking the envelopes on the counter to be mailed later. She sorted orders by relevance and client importance, so that didn't take much time other than deciding who mattered more.
Bones stayed at the auto shop for about an hour, crossing some ts and doting some Is. When he was done he got back into his truck and drove to Emerson's. It took him a few minutes but he got there and killed his engine. He sat in his truck for a few moments before letting out a sigh and get out and going over to the door. He knocked softly and waited for her to answer.
