My nod is almost imperceptible, but I know he feels it between his palms because I feel his lips stretching into a smile against my neck, and his next words are my demise.
“That’s my good girl.”
CHAPTER 20
Gods & Monsters – Lana Del Rey
Jake
“Bro, stop calling. I told you my dad won’t be back until after dinner.”
“I just want to check with you one last time. Are you sure you’re okay talking to him?”
Luke is too good. Of course as soon as I told him what happened with Jamie’s mom he said he would sort it out with his dad, but I know it’s not safe. His father is an abusive piece of shit and I’m worried for my friend. I wanted to be there, and he insisted it would go more smoothly if it was kept between his family.
“Yeah, of course. My mom came home as well, it’s all chill, man. Don’t worry about me. I’ll call you to let you know what he says.”
I nod to myself before hanging up. I’ve got a missed call from Ozy, so I call her back.
“I’m having the best day of my life,”she says as soon as she picks up.
“Catch me up on Camila.” I might be cold to her, but I don’t really care about her fun right now.
“Oh you mean the girl whose daddy is going to find her naked and cuffed to her own bed with a note that says ‘I’m a bad slut, I deserve this.’? Did you know she gets wet when she cries? And I’m not talking about her cheeks.”
Yes. I know. But I don’t reply to that.
“What else?”
The level of satisfaction I’m reaching right now is still not enough to drown out my hate for her.
“Someone’s a greedy fucker.”
“I want her dead, Ozy. So a little bit of humiliation is not gonna cut it for me.”
“She’s got all her stashes of coke spread out around her and the police on their way to her house.”
“What. Else.” I growl. Her dad is one of the most important people in this town. Being caught with a few grams of coke won’t change shit for her.
“Hey Chris, I’m just gonna get something from the pool house.”I’m assuming she has something to say she doesn’t want him to know. I hear some doors, some walking and finally her voice again.“We heard some noise at some point. Chris went outside to check if we were gonna get caught and left me alone with her.”
“And?”
“And I carved her. With the X.”
“You what?!”
This is sadistic, dangerous…perfect. My twin took a knife and carved the tattoo we both have on our skins. Well, a simpler version. An X with the W under it. Only enemies of the Bianco family have that X as a scar.
“Too far?” she asks.
“Yes and no.”
“It’s on her hip bone, no one can see it if she’s dressed.”
“Yeah, but that means we stoop down to the gangster level.”
“Next time she’ll think twice before crossing us.”
