Thread: Mass Attraction (Javorcek x ClearSight)

An entire night of sleep had always come rather easily to Miranda, she never slept long, around five hours a night which always seemed more than enough. It was another byproduct of her genetics and years and years of sleeping as little as possible so she could spend more time getting all the duties she needed done. However after a mere two hours of sleep she found herself awake and more alert and on edge than ever. Her dreams had been completely full of Jack and it what was worse than that was that she had been unable to control them. Miranda was a lucid dreamer and yet not with her previous dream and it had definitely been more honest than she had been in the bathroom, the dream having her screaming and at one point even kneel down in front of Jack uttering the word 'please'. It made her shiver and she wiped a rare bead of sweat from her head. Fucking hell... She took a moment, tossing and turning before finally sliding off the bed, a small growl as she blamed Jack for all the shit and snarling as she moved over and plopped down in her chair. Miranda was so frustrated that she didn't bother putting up her usual demeanor, everyone would be asleep and she was alone in her room with the door locked. She was still sitting up straight, her posture as impressive as ever, but Miranda found herself spinning around in the chair a few times, trying to think about what to do with her free time. She was always so ahead when it came to work that she often checked over reports she had already typed up, kept her perfectionist habits up, though she never needed it anymore, she always did it right the first time. So with already having checked over things, and needing more than work to keep her mind off Jack, that damn dream. Yet as she sat there trying to figure out to do she realized something that her busy life and no doubt some denial had hidden away, she had no hobbies. Miranda trained and worked, that was about all she did, so with time alone and the lack of her usual motivation, Miranda found herself utterly devoid of anything to do but let reality and her dream mix and the truth of what she desired sinking in. That disappointment she had felt earlier made its way back to the surface and she whimpered frustratedly, unable to completely accept that feeling, she didn't want it. There was no outlet for it and she had to sit in the chair frustrated as hell, a hand going up and pushing hair out of her face, a strand still stuck getting blown away by pursed lips in a rather adorable frustrated manner. Miranda was not all serious and cold, not all prideful and harsh, in fact there was a rather adorable and loving woman underneath it all, some rare insecurities and someone who people could really learn to like. However that person was hidden beneath layer after layer of difficult and stubborn, beneath pride and arrogance, deep beneath the Ice Queen exterior. Yet Jack had managed to pull that part of her to the surface, a part of her that didn't need to come out in everyday life for her because nothing as personal or frustrating as the day before ever happened to the ever on task Miranda. Finally she leaned back in her chair and gave a loud pissed off Gah! her arms crossing as she turned and stared at the door. She didn't know what the hell she wanted to do but leaving the room was not an option, not unless she got out of her sleeping attire which was completely for comfort so did nothing to cover the kiss marks she would rather die than reveal to the chance meeting of whoever was on duty. Operative Lawson, I found it necessary to inform you that Jack requested footage from the showers during the time you and her were together, she has been given the appropriate clearance so I gave her the files. At first Miranda was shocked, she had tried to disable EDI from directly tapping in to the room and had tried to make it where her terminal was the only way for her to be reached but it seemed that hadn't taken. Of course she wasn't surprised, such a sophisticated program had more than enough knowledge to override anything she could do even if she was as skilled with tech as she was anything else. However that ceased to matter as soon as she realized what the fuck EDI had done, an immediate shocked look crossing her face. You did what? She should have been restricted to Cerberus archive files not everything! Miranda cursed under her breath, EDI didn't make mistakes, if Jack had access to all the files it meant she hadn't been specific enough in her request, it had been her error. As if her day wasn't already going bad enough another hit to her confidence had Miranda panicking, looking around the room for her uniform and almost got up to put it on but instead stopped. Going to Jack now would be a mistake, too little privacy, too big a risk others would find out, and she knew Jack wouldn't give a damn. Instead she grit her teeth and took a few deep breaths, EDI having said something, most likely a justification, but Miranda hadn't been listening. She did however slowly stand as she addressed EDI, Please send Jack a message for me EDI. Tell her that at her earliest convenience to come to my quarters, and warn me when she is on her way... It wasn't her best plan but once again pride clouded her judgement, the idea of that tape getting around or being seen by just one person had her furious and that meant privacy, her mind ignoring all the warning flags and even her dream was omitted. So she walked over and grabbed her uniform, changing clothes as not to be seen in anything inappropriate or misleading whenever Jack decided to come around, which Miranda didn't expect to be anytime soon. The she went back to her chair and took a seat, beginning to fiddle away on the computer, obviously trying to get something done before Jack arrived, her pillowy lips pursed together as she went at her task, no longer at a loss as to what to do, no, once again Jack was making Miranda's day a living hell.
