"Superman, eh?" she grinned a half sly smile. "I, on one hand, appreciate knowing that I have your protection, and of course, you have mine." Her eyes shifted to the door once again where Fabian was on the other side. "It's he," -points towards door- "that probably would never understand...especially with how..." -she paused for a moment to cut her eyes back towards Josh's gorgeous blue eyes, which stood out extremely well- "flirtatious we are with each other." She shook her head, same grin on her face. "Tisk, tisk," she looked towards the door once more, "I make him nervous with...the boys, and...I completely understand why."

She chuckled once as she crossed her arms. "And with you," -raised eyebrow as she looked back to Josh- "He's more nervous with me around you than he was when he first saw me with Zero. My, my, I don't know whatever would make him so nervous about the two of us." Her sarcastic remark was amusement as her head slowly leaned backwards with a laugh was dark.

"We make a pretty good team in the business of flattery," she spoke once again, nudging him slightly, "And, frankly, I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's good for mind, body, and soul."
