When I'm with you, I feel like wearing nothing at all...   

The song wearing nothing by Dagny played softly in the car as Tobi drove down the road to the hotel he was lodged at, while Dallas sat quietly, her eyes shut and her head against the window.

It was a brief 10 minutes that she waited before he arrived and picked her up.

"Are you okay?" He asks after an eternity of silence and she opens her eyes, her head still leaned against the window.

"I'm fine" she says only before shutting her eyes again

"I'm here if you want to talk" he says only, knowing from all his years with her that pushing further was going to end in nothing but an argument

"Okay" she murmurs and he nods before resuming silence once again.

A breath quietly left her lips as she thought of the woman whose house she'd angrily walked out of. She felt stupid, and rightfully so.

What was the basis of her anger? There wasn't one and if there was, it was stupid.

No matter what, it was no excuse for her to have acted the way she did. She not only insulted her by throwing away her care, she'd worsened it by walking away.

She couldn't have been more stupid at that point.

Do not walk away during an argument, that had to be a rule somewhere. Of all the things she could have done, she decided to just walk out on her.

"And the award for the biggest asshole goes to Dallas Zilkaya" she murmurs under her breath "Oh wait, we also have the award for the worst girlfriend in the world"

"What's that? oh, the award for the biggest jerk too?" she adds and Tobi glances at her with the raise of a brow, signifying confusion, and back at the road

"Something happen?" he asks and she looks at him

"Um...I had a fight with Monroe" she says hesitantly, not confident he's the one she should talk to about it

"What happened?"

"I was being idiotic and defensive for no good reason" she sighs "Its really all my fault" she felt terrible, more for walking out on her.

"She was just trying to be empathetic and I was just an asshole. Its Mary Lin all over again" she says, her eyes watering with tears as she recalled how hurt Alexia looked just before she'd slammed the door shut "I don't even have to try, I just automatically push people away which is so stupid cause all they're doing is caring" she continues mindlessly

"I mean all through our argument, there was this tiny part that told me to just shut the fuck up, drink some water and calm the fuck down but I completely ignore it cause there's this gigantic part, the part that is a douche that just pushes me down the wrong path. I walked out. I never ever walk out during an argument but I walked out, God, I'm done" she rants wiping the tears that slipped down her eyes

"Now I don't even know what to do. Do I call? Text? What am I even going to say? I really messed up, really bad"

"Not so much that it can't be fixed" Tobi says and she just stares at him so he continues "She loves you and you say you love her, it'll be fine once you apologize sincerely" he offers showing the best concern he could

Honestly, he could not say he felt bad that they fought, after all he didn't want them to work out. How could he when he also wanted to be with her?
