Emails to Amara and Manuel
To: [Amara]
From: [Lil]
Subject: Apologies
So, I don't know if you're avoiding me or we just keep missing each other but I want to apologize for yesterday. I'll try to let you know ahead of time when I'm gonna bring someone home next time. Let me take you out for lunch or dinner or something to make it up to you, okay? Or buy you alcohol. Your choice.

Subject: Valentine's Gift??
I suck at this kinda stuff. What's the protocol for gifts for a guy you've been kinda seeing for a month, aren't sleeping with and who knows you've got a husband in another country?
- Lil
PS: It totally sucks that YOU are the one that I have to ask.

Clearly Bishop has his hands full, assuming that is the man you are buying for. I believe you might buy him something you would not buy your husband if you were with him. This _is_ Bishop we are talking of, yes?

Subject: bite me
Of course not, I meant you.
Yes, Bishop. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to get him something - which, if I do, will certainly NOT be something that I woulda gotten Madison.

I believe it is approperiate to buy him something. Please clarify any somethings that you have in mind.

Subject: I'm sure.
First, I can't dress myself and now I have to clear my gift-giving through you? Why don't I just go for lingerie and kill two birds with one stone?
Seeing as he was a cop and probably already has a pair of handcuffs, I was thinking a nice bottle of something alcoholic.
- Lil
no subject
From:[Manuel]
Subject: indeed
Lingerie is a better idea. Bishop appears not to be able to maintain a collection of alcohol but serve himself on a frequent basis, therefore, I am positive alcohol will serve its purpose too.
Why not simply get him drunk and seduce him with the lingerie as well?
-Manuel
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: ugh
We're not sleeping together and I don't have plans on that changing anytime soon which kinda defeats the purpose of sexy things for bedtime so no lingerie.
I think I'm sticking with a good bottle of something unless Professor Higgins has any other bright ideas?

Subject: Lingerie shopping would be interesting
Why resist it? It would make separation that much more bareable.
Try Maker's Mark. It's some poorly made whisky that he appears to love.

From: [Lil]
Subject: I am NOT going lingerie shopping with YOU
Because I just got outta a 7 year long relationship and I'm not gonna jump into bed for a quick fuck with the first man who shows any interest in me, that's why. Any other reasons we have are none of your fucking business.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it.

Subject: Why does that make me smug?
You need to get over the first before you do the second.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean??

no subject
From:[Manuel]
Subject: Because I painfully point out a truth you do not like
You are very sensitive to talk about your marriage. Whatever demons you have with that must be solved or it will carry on into whatever it is that you have going on with Bishop. The fact that you do not merely spark but you blaze with fury at the mention of your marriage is evidence of that.
-Manuel
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: I'm gonna painfully point you.
I asked you for gift suggestions not relationship advice and am not having this conversation with you over email. Or ever, in fact.
- Lil
no subject
From:[Manuel]
Subject: I am sure you will
There is my point.
-Manuel
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: Fuck you.
My marriage and its demons are my business and only concern me, my husband and whoever else we are involved with, none of which are you so fuck off. I don't need marital counseling from you and I sure as hell don't fucking want it.
- Lil
no subject
From:[Manuel]
Subject: calm down
Calm yourself. You are far too angry in this and about what? Me questioning a marriage that no longer is? This makes me thankful I am able to shield.

Subject: re: Apologies
Oh no it's totally fine! Really, I've just been busy with classes and evreything, and there's a fundraising thing on campus I've been helping out with! And you don't need to make it up to me, really. It's fine!
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
I wanna. It was something I should have warned you about and I'm gonna try to be better about this roommate stuff in the future. Still wanna make it up to you somehow.

From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Really, it's not problem at all! But if you really feel that badly, I could do with a workout partner. I've been thinking of spending some more time in the gym recently, if I'm going to join the X-Men and everything.
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
That I can definitely do. My routine might be a little much for you but we can figure something out, I'm sure.
FYI - I'm not planning on him staying over again anytime soon but if he does, I'll make sure I give you a heads up.
- Lil

Subject: RE: Apologies
Well, we can start small? I don't really know that much about it, except how to work the treadmill.
It's fine, really! He seems really nice.
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Treadmill's okay. I like the bikes and the weights better as well as the bags but like I said, we'll figure it out.
He is. We should all do dinner some night or something - and you should invite along a 'nice' guest of your own.
- Lil
no subject
From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Aha, yeah, I haven't spent that much time in the gym before, and when I did I was more worried about making sure all of the baking I did didn't go to my hips. :D I've never really put much thought into exercise otherwise.
Oh, that sounds nice! And, oh well, I don't really know anyone I could invite!
<3 Amara
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
I would live in the gym if I could. I don't gotta worry about the weight thing too much - thank you, powers - but I do gotta work on building up my strength and muscles again.
Well, obviously we need to find you someone. I can ask Bishop if he knows anyone tomorrow...
- Lil
no subject
From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Well then you're a good choice of work out partner then. I can take advantage of your expertise! Even if I am only just starting out.
Oh no really, it's fine! I don't mind being a third wheel.
<3 Amara
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
We'll set up a time. I'm going out tomorrow with Bishop for lunch and then a shooting lesson then work so it'll have to be Sunday or beyond.
Being the third wheel isn't fun unless you're getting two sets of hands to steer you afterwards. Or so I've heard. We'll find someone and you'll have fun.

Subject: RE: Apologies
That's fine! I have plenty of reading to do for classes and everything, so I should probably get that done anyway!
ldkajkldljkdkdja Lil oh my god. And it's just for dinner, right? Nothing else!
<3 Amara
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Just dinner - unless you hit it off with whoever and then it's up to you. And I limit the number of people in my bed to 2 max so you don't need to worry that this is some kinda twisted ploy for a Bishop and Blondes sandwich.

I said it's not a ploy! I don't think Kyle repairs roommates like he does actual rooms so stop with the brain exploding. Dinner on me with Bishop and... whoever Bishop and I find to escort you. I assure you, whoever it is will be a perfect gentleman or I'll make the man issue moot when I drag him into the alley and rip his balls off, okay?
- Lil
no subject
From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
I didn't even think it WAS, it never even would have occurred to me! So really, it's fine. And I'm sure whoever you find will be perfectly nice, but really, you don't have to! It'll probably end up being a better evening if I didn't have a date, honestly.

Subject: RE: Apologies
If we're going out to dinner, you need a date or Bishop's gonna look like some rap star with two hot blondes on his arms and I'm not letting that go to his head - either one, for that matter. We're getting you a date and that's final.
- Lil
no subject
From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Oh my god Lil! I think Bishop will be able to cope, though I'm not sure you really want to suffer through what will probably be an incredibly awkward evening! I've just never been out with anyone before, on a double date or otherwise!
<3 Amara
no subject
From: [Lil]
Subject: RE: Apologies
... Never? As in never ever been on a date with anyone?? You're shitting me.
And this doesn't have to be a real date; just friends going out. Think of it that way.
NEVER?!?
no subject
From: [Amara]
Subject: RE: Apologies
Well no! Dating wasn't really done back home, and since I've been here there hasn't really been anyone I've been interested in like that! And the guys at college are... mostly jerks.
... I think I can do that. Just friends! And you make sure he knows that as well!
Yes, really never!

I told you, perfect gentleman or I rip off his man bits... unless of course, I made an assumption and you'd rather me find you a girl dinner partner instead?

I'm just trying to be a good suitemate and didn't want you to think I was judging or anything if that's what you preferred.
I'll find a guy for you whenever we decide to have this little dinner party.

Subject: RE: Apologies
No no, it's fine! I guess it is a little lame that a girl my age has never been on a date, and that's a perfectly good reason why!
I really don't think it's necessary, but I'm not going to be able to change your mind on this one, am I?
<3 Amara.

Virgin, I figured. Naive... yeah (but in a good way!). Never been on a date? Nope, never would have guessed.
And no, you're not. Head is as hard as a diamond, too, sweetie.

It's not something that usually comes up! It hasn't ever really bothered me at all, before I came to America I always just assumed my father would find someone for me to marry.
Well I HAVE heard that the only thing that can damage a diamond is heat. ;D

Subject: RE: Apologies
Woah, what? Okay, this has officially become a conversation we gotta continue face to face. I'll be back at the mansion in about a half hour. Will you still be up? Are you even there??
And not this diamond, it doesn't.

I will keep that in mind! :D

No, you didn't. There should be a bottle of wine in the fridge if you wanna pull that out. I'm just coming up on Harry's now so I'll see you soon.
