“What are we going to tell my sister?” she asks, her arms banded around my waist as we sneak out of the dark room and into the empty hallway.
“That we’re together.”
“And are we?” she asks, sounding like she genuinely isn’t sure.
Spinning her in my arms, I cup her face with my hands and roll my eyes. “Yes Carrigan, we’re together. You’re mine and I’m yours. Boyfriend and girlfriend, a couple or whatever else you want to call us. Okay?”
“Okay,” she says, smiling as I tuck her under my arm and guide her towards the cafeteria.
“We thought you’d skipped,” Wats says, his grin wide and salacious.
“No we’re still here,” I say, leaning forward and slugging him in the shoulder without releasing my hold on Priss.
“Ow,” he laughs, rubbing at his shoulder, before turning calculating eyes to the girl at my side. “You lowering yourself to eat with us today Carrigan, now you’re sucking Carson’s dick?”
A coldness radiates through me as my muscles tense and I ready myself to beat the living shit out of my friend.
“Watson,” she purrs, untangling herself from my arm and taking a step toward him.
“What’s up boo, you hoping to take a ride on us all?” he sneers.
Her heels click along the floor as she closes the distance between them. I feel myself tense as she places her bright pink nails against his chest, tilts her head to the side and whispers just loud enough for me to hear. “Go fuck yourself.” A second before she snaps her knee up and into his balls.
A startled laugh falls from my lips as Watson crumples to a heap at her feet. “Dude,” I hiss, laughing as my balls clench up in sympathy. Priss walks straight back into my arms and I feel myself relax. I might be falling for her, but she’s still an enigma and a serious flight risk.
Wats curls into a ball on the floor, his hands covering his balls as he groans.
“What did Wats do?” Tally asks, arriving at our side, Arlo’s arm curled around her neck possessively.
“He deserved it,” Priss says quickly, her teeth worrying at her lower lip.
“I’ve no doubt,” Tally says shrugging it off with a laugh.
“What the fuck is going on with you guys?” Arlo asks, his expression suspicious as he looks between me and Priss, who is clinging to me, some of her earlier confidence fading.
“Let’s skip and we can go back to The Escape,” I suggest, looking down to Priss, who nods her agreement. Unable to resist I lift her chin and press my lips against hers.
Priss rides with me, while the others follow in Arlo’s car, he started driving himself once he and Tally made it official. I can feel the tension radiating off Priss as we drive the familiar route to the marina, but she’s stoically silent at my side. “You okay?” I ask.
“Kind of,” she answers, not elaborating.
“That a good or bad kind of?”
“I had this big plan to march into school and talk to my sister and then you were there and I kissed you and then we, you know, and you stole all my sass and now I don’t think I can do what I planned to do,” she garbles, talking so quickly I can barely keep up.
“I gotta be honest, I’m not sorry about the kissing and fucking.”
She laughs lightly, shaking her head as she stares out the windscreen.
“What did you plan to do?” I ask, wanting to keep her talking.
“Something that seemed like a good idea last night when I was full of bravado, getting my hair bleached, drinking martini’s, and eating ice-cream, but it all feels a bit stupid now.”
“Tell me, I’m sure it’s not stupid,” I coax, sliding my hand onto her leg and squeezing.
“I was going to apologize and then I was going to ask for help,” she says quietly.
“Baby, that doesn’t sound stupid at all.”
“It will when I tell you what I wanted help with.”
My chest tightens and worry builds inside of me, what the hell could she need help with. If it’s leaving, she can forget it, I’m not letting her go anywhere. Fuck I hope it’s not with classes, Tally would probably say yes but Arlo would lose his mind. We’ll be at the marina in a matter of minutes but I can’t wait that long. “What did you need help with?”
For the first time since we got in the car she turns and looks at me, her face so beautiful, the new hair and makeup, combined with the post sex rumpled look only making her more stunning. “Revenge.”
