1914? Lexi thought and sought ancient lines in his face but there was no evidence of that. The dog tags were evidence of what he said, but she had no reason to not believe him. Maybe being an alchemist was like having an internal fountain of youth. He certainly had the sexual stamina of a young man.  She was startled from her examination by his confession<br/><br/>"But d'ya kno' what, Lexi?" Neo went on with his story. "Yo' blonde hair remind me of Jane. Jane Donahue. She was mah first gurl. And dey just killed her. But dat ain't the reason why I like ya'. It's just the reason why you caught mah eye, ba'e. But I never fucked her like I did wit' you, so you one-upped her."<br/><br/>Lexi smiled and sat up in the bed.<br/><br/>“Well, Rest in Peace, Jane Donahue and thank you for letting me share Neo, even if it was just for the now.”<br/><br/>His hands traced the lines of her breast, feeling the heft of them tenderly, lost in thought. Lexi thought perhaps he was remembering Jane.  She tossed back the blanket,<br/><br/>“I probably need to shower. You can join me if you want and then I will have a few minutes for coffee before I have to leave for work. I don’t really want to be late. Sid won’t just fire me, he will have me killed. That really gives a whole new definition to a killer boss.”<br/><br/>She went to the shower and turned on the hot water. This shower was the one luxury feature in this flat. It had two shower heads, one on each side of the tiled box and a rain head suspended from the ceiling. She reached for the strawberry scented shampoo and put her head under the water. Even under the water, she could hear the tinny sound that filled the air, the sound that came from the water and from under the earth. Lexi felt the sound rumbling through her body. She shuddered and realized that nothing had changed but she was glad for the memories that she still felt deep inside.
