[cordeliaroseoreilly]

She'd been walking for about twenty minutes, having chucked off her heels and began heading down the sidewalk with bare feet, knowing she was nearing Mikayla's place. It was almost three in the morning when she knocked on the brunette's door, but Mik was expecting her, and sure enough a few minutes later, the door swung open and she was beckoned inside. In the light of Mikayla's apartment, the freshly bruised patches of skin were already beginning to surface, a shade of red turning into a light purple hue where the man used a bit of extra force during their encounter. 

Rough sex was something she didn't shy away from - but this went a bit far, even for her tastes. "You look like shit,"Mikayla said, in the nicest way possible, brushing a strand of hair away from her best friend's face. "Thanks," the brunette replied, a snort of breath following shortly after. Shay was nowhere to be found, which meant she was likely asleep in Mikayla's bed, and for that, she was thankful. She didn't want her daughter to see her in such a state. 

Dropping her heels by the front door, she made her way over to the couch, moving with a slowed pace due to the slight soreness emanating from between her thighs, and plopped down, pulling her feet up beneath her. "C'mere," she beckoned the other girl forward, opening her purse to reveal the wad of cash in her possession. Mikayla had flicked on the light in the living room and a gasp left her lips as she did so, the full extent of Cordelia's exterior now being bathed in a soft white glow. "Cordi!" Came an exclamation from her lips, and she rushed over and sat beside the brunette. Fingers taking tender care to brush over the red marks that littered pale skin, not yet begun to fade or revert to their bound to be bruised state. 

"He did this to you?" She asked, as if unable to believe it herself. Cordelia shrugged her shoulders. "Just got a lil' rough, s'all. Nothing I can't handle." Mikayla smacked the other woman on the arm hard enough for Cordelia to jolt away, a stinging pain left behind. "This is more than a little rough, Cordelia." Ooh, full name. That was enough to show Mikayla meant business. Biting down on the inside of her cheek, the wince of pain that came to follow was enough to knock her senses back into her. "He got laid, I got paid, that's how it works." And with that, she pulled forth the numerous bills she'd stuffed into her clutch purse. "I mean, look. This is more than I made in a week at that shithole diner." 

"This is not how it's supposed to work, Cordi." Her tone of voice changed with that statement, bringing forth an air of attempting to reason with the other brunette. "You're going to be covered in bruises tomorrow." Glancing down at the marred patches of skin visible to the naked eye, she sighed. Hopefully she woke up earlier than Shay so that she had a chance to try and hide some of tonight's evidence. 

"Why don't you go talk to Nora Gallagher?" 

"Who?" 

"Ye' know, Nora, she's friends with your ma."  

It took her a few minutes to recall the older woman's face into her memory - and the reason why she hadn't gone to her in the first place. 

"I can't let me ma find out about this." 

"Listen, Nora's discreet. I'm sure she'll help ye out." 

A long, drawn out sigh fell from parted lips, and Cordelia reached up to run her fingers through her hair, a yawn escaping. 

"Yeah, okay. But that's a task for another day, now I just want to sleep for days." 

"C'mon, Shay's in my room." 

And with that, the two women made their way through the apartment to the master bedroom, where a little ginger was fast asleep on a rather large bed in comparison. Standing in the doorway for a moment, she simply watched her, before quietly making her way towards where the child lay for the night. Both women climbed into bed and Cordelia took her daughter into her arms, watching as Shay nestled into them without waking. Everything she did - she did for Shay, tonight's activities included. If it meant that she could give her daughter a good life, she was going to continue, but hopefully, things with Nora - if they worked out, would leave a few less scars.

When a woman of a certain caliber and a certain skill set bangs a dude like Josh, or basically anyone who isn’t a complete sociopath, they get a little weird!
