“I find that hard to believe. Weren’t you the perfect child who did nothin’ wrong?”
I laugh. “Uh, I flushed a teenager's head down the toilet, and that wasn’t the worst of what I did when I was a teenager. She always said I gave her gray hair.”
“Well, my mom says I gave her all those worry lines, I guess I kinda deserved that one.”
Holy shit. Are we actually having an adult conversation?
So much has happened in the last twenty-four hours with us, the information and the new leads on Tilly, that it’s making my head spin.
I also had to face a barrage of questions about what was going on with the door earlier when Halo and Kyle arrived — as if my disheveled appearance wasn’t enough to give it away.
Now Nevada is being all sweet and helpful. Not that I mind that, not after what he just did to me back at my apartment. What scares me is how easily I let him. I mean, the man just ass fucked me with his fingers and now we’re having a deep and meaningful conversation. What is happening to me? I need to seriously get a grip.
I stare out the window.
This feels so… natural. So normal. I can’t say I’ve had too many relationships where I had deep conversations. I always went for guys who were physical and weren’t there emotionally. Maybe that was a tradeoff, or something I sought out without realizing it. If they didn’t want to converse and get to know me on an emotional level, it was safe for me. That way I never had to talk about anything bad or my mom or uncomfortable things. Nevada isn’t like that.
He has no clue, nor does he seem fazed at throwing all kinds of questions my way. He wants to know. It’s perfectly normal for most people to talk about themselves, but not for me. For me, this isn’t something I’m used to. No guy I’ve been with ever cared that much to want to get to know me. Not deep down. I’m realizing every moment that I spend with him that he’s different. Different in a good way.
Maybe, just maybe, I may have even overlooked a lot of things because of my own prejudice.
Apparently an old dog can learn new tricks. They just have to want to change.

NEVADA
Cash:
Any issues you call me first, got it?
Me:
Got it, boss. You sent Brew & Haze to babysit?
Cash:
Someone’s gotta be responsible, sure as shit ain’t gonna be you or Riot
Me:
Appreciate this
Cash:
If this is just for pussy…
I scratch my chin. Like Cash can talk. His wife pursued him, sure, but she was still his best friend’s daughter and twenty-something years younger than him. I chuckle to myself.
Me:
It’s not. I can get that any time.
Cash:
Just don’t go falling for her. She’ll bust your balls for the rest of your life
Me:
