"You don't have to be nervous around me you know. I'm never going to touch you until you're much older." I watched her face for her reaction to my words and was pleased with what I saw.Her eyes were wide and she bit into her lip nervously before trying to evade my gaze. I kept going as if it was the most natural conversation in the world."I'll hold your hand, I'll even kiss your cheek, but you can relax for at least another year. Do you want to watch a movie or something?" My change of topic threw her for a second but she was quick to regroup."Uh, sure, I guess." I walked over to the eighty inch screen with the cabinet beneath that if I remember correctly, housed all the movies and music. It's been a while since Jace dragged us all here, but I have to say, this time was by far the best. Because she was here."What kind of movies do you like?""It doesn't matter, you choose something.""Cass." I called out to her without looking at her."Yeah?""Don't do that.""Do
When did holding hands become such a big deal? Since when did something this innocent make my heart and pulse race and my breath get trapped in my lungs?"By the way, I saw you that day Mandy got expelled and I deduced that she had something to do with why you'd been so sad for so long. Am I right?" She scrunched up her shoulders in that cute way of hers."I don't know if I should say.""Doesn't matter, she's never going to mess with you again." She gave me a questioning look but I distracted her with the movie. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she won't be fucking with the people I love in the future.*** TAMMY***Is it supposed to take this long to come back down to earth? To get your feet back on the ground again? I feel like I've been floating on air for the past few days, ever since my dad told me that Shane had come to him and asked for my hand in marriage.At first I thought it was a trick. That my dad was trying to find out if we'd had sex in a roundabout way, but when h
"More like if we have a girl she'll make me nuts like her mother and I won't ever get shit done because I'd spend every waking moment keeping both your asses out of shit.""Yeah, we'd be the crazy ones." I was way over her shit. She'd finally told me the truth and my dick seemed to like that shit because he was kicking at the gate to get out."Now tell me again without the add-ons.""I'm pregnant.""Okay! Everything's going to be okay. Our lives are gonna change a little bit, but it's going to be for the better. I'll make sure of it.""Now tell me about these fears you've been having." She shrugged her shoulders."They're pretty much gone now, I guess I was worried about your reaction.""Silly, wife." I nuzzled her and inhaled her sweet scent."How do you feel now?" I rolled her to her back and lifted her shirt. "Nothing looks different under there.""That's because he is no bigger than a peanut." I kissed her tummy and felt the love well up inside me.I'd been read
"Where's my phone?" That bitch Liz took my phone. But's that okay, I have all that stuff stored in my head anyway. I moved my leg and felt the warm body next to me. Squinting my eyes open, I looked around the darkened room but could make out nothing.There were bodies all over the floor, the couch, the chairs, everywhere. Where am I? I put my hand to my head as I sat up. "Ouch!""Hey baby, where're you going? The party's not over yet."I opened my mouth to ask him who he was, but someone else held my breasts from behind and I got distracted. My head wasn't exactly spinning, but I was definitely on a different kind of high than I'm used to.I've been doing lines since I was about fourteen, and had never felt this completely out of it. Before I could object, not that I really wanted to, I felt myself being laid back down again.Pretty soon there were hands everywhere and I forgot everything but the feelings coursing through me. How much coke did I do anyway? It didn't matter.
I stopped feeling their kicks and punches. My mind had gone to a different place. I removed myself from the situation and instead thought of how I got here. How everything had come to this end. How I'd gone from riding high, to getting kicked like a dog on the floor.If Stanley had done his job, none of this would be happening. It's like I'd told him before, he was a worthless piece of shit. It's all because of him that things had gone wrong.Because of him that my life had become like this. He's the one who should be enduring this, not me. He's the one who'd plunged the knife into that bitch after all.I rolled over onto my side and stared at the wall as above me they carried on screaming and yelling about all the things I'd done to them. What sniveling idiots.I closed my eyes no longer caring what they saw, or what they thought, and was thankful for the effect of the drugs that had made me numb, though I felt some of the pain from the harder kicks and punches.When they gr
"Hey, why did you take so long to answer? It's done.""That's good, how did it go?""Exactly as we expected. She wanted to get high, I told you that's how she gets when she's really upset. She wants to get high and screw anything with a dick."And did you take her to the school?""Oh yeah, she got hers, but I think she got a lot more from Sid and his gang. She was with those guys for at least three days before I went and got her. I almost couldn't get her out.""And the phone and computer stick, you sent them where I told you to?""Yes Shane, I did everything just like you said. The phone went to that cop you mentioned and the stick to the PO. Box.""Okay, that's good." "So where are you? And how come I can't see you? You're not still messing with that loser Tammy are you?" I let her laugh only because I knew in the next few minutes she will be crying."You mean my wife?""Your what? Quit playing."Can I ask you a question? Did you know that bitch was planning to
I'd been so excited I'd forgotten to score some drugs. I hadn't seen a male anywhere in that stupid place anyway, that might've been willing to help me, so it was most likely a bust. I sat in the car and formulated my next move in my head. How can I get close enough to do what I have to do? There was no way to get onto the Saunders' property without being noticed.Unless...No they've had the same domestic staff for a while, they probably know each one on sight. How can I get there? I don't have anything suitable, anything that would disguise me until I got close enough. Close enough to destroy her, that bitch.I drove around for a while still no closer to a solution. Thanksgiving was in two days. Another thought hit me. It was something I'd learned about Jace and his family even before we dated. When he still used to act like I didn't exist. When I used to read anything I could get my hands on about the ultra-wealthy family. Yes, that would be perfect. I'd forgotten all abou
I drove down the driveway slowly with the lights off. There was one light on in the house and I wasn't surprised that it was in Sian's room. I got out of the truck and looked around at the dark night.It would be so easy... But I couldn't do anything here, not where my girl's family slept. Instead I walked around back. How did she get in anyway? And how do I get in without alerting her to the fact that I was here. I wasn't left wondering long.The alarm hadn't been set because of the workers going back and forth, which was an oversight. No one expects to be robbed in this neighborhood, but still. I knew it wasn't on since the night I'd come back here for her medicine, but hadn't thought much of it. Missed that one.I walked up the stairs, being as quiet as I could and stepped into Sian's bedroom door. Mandy was sitting on the bed, the new bed that replaced the one that had been burned in the explosion."What are you doing here?" It was obvious what she was doing. The door to Si
