Chapter 106 - Phone Call (1/2)

*Ring Ring* *Ring Ring*

Felicia slowly made her way through the room, still marveling slowly at the sight through the windows. She had been in lavish apartments and 5 star hotels before, thanks to her family, but this one still left her a bit in awe.

A few of the expensive ornaments and trinkets might have also spiked her blood pressure as her mind worked out the best way to make off with said expensive items. Reaching down to grab the phone that was discarded onto the bed, a smile lit up her face as she looked down at the caller ID.

Peter's big dumb face stretched across the screen, his arm resting over his shoulder as the two took a selfie. She had taken it just before she had to leave, before the battle of New York, things had been so much simpler back then, the smile on his face much wider.

She had even been getting closer to Peter at the time. Just a little bit more and it would have been a done deal, well that's what she thought at the time. Of course Peter didn't know that the picture was now her home screen and caller ID, she had been careful to make sure he didn't find out.

She didn't want to be too obvious. *Click*

Pressing the phone to her ear, there was a slight relief in her voice as she spoke. It was coming to the close of the second day after Peter left, she was expecting him to come back by either the end of the day, or possible tomorrow. Too bad she would be disappointed.

”Peter?” It took a few seconds for him to respond, but his gentle voice over the receiver was a nice sound to her ears. ”Hey Felicia are you ok?....I mean I heard that some sort of attack happened in New York and I just wanted to make sure you were alright...I know you can take care of yourself, but I just wanted to make sure...Is the apartment ok....everything good? You're not hurt are you? Why arn't you talking? Oh god is it bad?!”

Felicia gave a small giggle at his worried tone and even though he wasn't there also shook her head in exasperation. ”Well if you would let me talk for a second I would tell you, now wouldn't I?” That shut him up real quick and she could just hear his embarrassment over the phone. ”Sorry about that, I was just a bit worried.”

Felicia gave another laugh as she rolled her eyes sitting now on the bed. Her voice tuned just that bit gentler as she responded. ”Don't worry Peter, I'm fine. Though I've got a few surprises for you when you get back.” Felicia looked around her lavish room and couldn't help the grin on her face. ”Surprises what surprises?”

”Ohh you'll find out~” She put in just the right amount of teasing in her voice to know that it would worry him. Her thinking was confirmed when she heard a gulp from the other end of the line. She could just imagine him sweating up a storm trying to think about what she was talking about. She couldn't help but continue.

”I've got a few people that would love to talk to you. Though I'm surprised you never mentioned me to them before, I'm hurt Peter, Truly.” Felicia leaned back into her bed and rolled over to smother her giggling as his stressed response came in.

”People?! Who?! I would never forget you! Whatever they telling you it's all false.” ”Ohh really~ All of it?” He paused for a second. ”...Well all of the good stuff they say, it's all true. But none of the bad stuff, those are just rumors, you know how it is being such an upstanding citizen that I am, why just last week I...”

She had to once again smother her laughed as she heard him ramble on for another few seconds about how great he was as a person to salvage the situation. Continuing to banter for the next few minutes as they caught up Felicia finally asked the one question that had been on her mind the whole conversation.
