It was huge. There was a giant section full of vegetables and fruits to the left. I hadn't put any on my list, but decided that I should probably include some. I was fascinated to find already-made salads and some other cute little things. But some of the prices shocked me!
Who would willingly pay four dollars for a single piece of fruit? I grabbed a few salads and moved into an aisle full of peanut butter and jellies and other stuff. There were so many choices. I sighed as I looked through my list and back up at all of the stuff in the aisle. My phone tinkled in my pocket and I dug it out, annoyed already by having to look for all of the stuff I needed like a damn scavenger hunt. "Hello?" "Hey, did you find what you were looking for?" "Yes but who willingly comes to these types of places? I can't...there are too many choices. I will never get through my list." I glanced downHe stood in his doorway with a cocky grin and despite everything that he had done to me and all of the sh*t he talked, butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I took a deep breath and gave him a side-hug. He took it a bit further and pecked my cheek and then ushered me inside, placing his hand on my lower back. I was no stranger to Dexter's home. I had been here countless times but this time felt a little uncomfortable. Probably because I came for a favor and knew that the price was going to make me feel like crap. He took us upstairs to his room and glanced back at me. "You parked away from the house, right?" It was our rule for when I visited in case Alicia was 'cruising by' and happened to see my car in his driveway. "Yeah. I did." I sat down on his bed and watched as he closed his bedroom door and turned to me with his signature smirk. "I was surprised when you called."
Dexter followed me up to the convenience store and with his fake ID bought me my mom's beer and cigarettes. He then followed me back to my place. The relief I felt when I saw Chloe's car parked in the driveway was almost laughable. Noticing this, Dexter kept driving without stopping and I knew I was safe for now. He would want something for the favor soon and I knew that I'd have to give in at some point. With James knowing that I was with Dexter, I'm sure he wouldn't be an issue anymore. Chloe stepped out of her car when I didn't climb out of mine and knocked on the driver's side window of my mom's car. I opened the car door and she sighed. "What happened?" "A lot. I'll tell you inside. You wanna help me with this?" I handed her the thirty-pack and she grimaced. She knew where I had gotten it from. After giving my mom her bounty I broke down in my room and told her every little detail, down t
James Why was it so hard to stop thinking about a girl that I knew was bad news for me? Kelly was so complicated. One second we're having sex and contemplating our relationship or lack thereof, and the next she's blowing Dexter a few hours after I had just seen her. It had been a week since I talked to her last and I couldn't f*cking concentrate to save my life. She was all I could think of, despite going on more dates with Lara and even getting a nice bl*w job from her on my last one. I couldn't even c*m without thinking of Kelly's tight little body. It felt dirty. I felt like a disgusting human being for thinking of her while I was getting blown by someone else, but my d*ck seemed to think that Kelly was his end game so, there's that. Michael had gone off on her over the phone after I got bummed out when I saw her walk out of Dexter's bedroom and she couldn't even look me in the eye. Neither of us had tried contacting th
James She unlocked the Range Rover she had driven the other day and hopped in the driver's seat. I hopped into the back with Lara after she whined when I tried to close the back door. This was going to be interesting. Kelly put on some music and began driving. "Convenience store first then?" "Yes, please?" She nodded and drove in silence. It was awkward as hell. Lara tried singing to some of the music and was being obnoxiously touchy. Her hands kept touching my chest and would move down and I'd have to grab her hands before she could grab my d*ck through my pants. From time to time I would see Kelly look at me through her rearview mirror and I'd feel my cheeks burn. This was probably a bad idea, but I needed a way out. She stopped at the store and as I tried to get out, Lara kept clinging to me. "Please! Don't leave me!" I was fed up and I clenched my teeth. "I h
Excitement bubbled in me as Monday rolled around. I had spent all day Sunday texting James and it seemed like he was back to normal after I had opened up about the whole Dexter situation. It was probably stupid that I was giddy over seeing him at school, but I couldn't help myself. He had seemed so overwhelmed when he was dealing with Pink Streak in all her drunken glory but after she was gone and we finally talked he seemed to relax with me. I had hoped he would come over Sunday, but he was busy with his family, so I didn't push it. I had put extra effort into myself just so that when he saw me, he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about me. It was almost a relief to have him back after the hellish week I had avoiding him and taking sh*t from my mom about anything and everything. Our electricity got cut on Friday morning because we had not paid it. It took me all f*cking afternoon looking through a f*ck ton of mail to find the electric bill
After practice was done, I drove home and was surprised to see James' car parked at the curb. I grinned, remembering his face and smiled when I saw him hop out quickly. "I don't remember having any past due homework to do." I said as soon as I opened my car door. He grinned sheepishly and shrugged one shoulder. "I just wanted to come and give you my apology kiss." "Oh! That? Well...seeing as you're here, you might as well." I winced as I placed my weight on my hurt ankle and he looked down at my foot. "What happened?" "Twisted it at practice. Might have sprained it." "Yeah...looks pretty swollen." He placed an arm around my waist and helped me inside, even though I knew I could walk on my own. Once inside I set my backpack and shoes by the door and took his hand and led him upstairs. I could hear my mom talking on the phone so I raised my finger to my lips and he nodded. We walked into my room
I rubbed my temples and looked down at all of the numbers. We owed over fifteen grand in bills for the month and that wasn't even everything that was being paid for. Mom was tearing through the groceries like crazy, so I would need to go shopping soon again and I knew that we had streaming services that were being automatically drafted. I went over all of the bills and couldn't believe that half of them were credit card statements. Mom was online shopping and I didn't even notice half of the sh*t she bought. I had begun looking over the bills to figure out if I would be able to try out for the dance team and stumbled upon thousands of dollars worth of bills and rising blood pressure. I took a drink of my ice-cold soda and rubbed my eyes under my glasses. I had been sent home early from practice because my leg was still sore and I couldn't do sh*t. I also didn't want to be there. But now all I wanted was to escape the reality that I didn't k
"I'll be back. Make yourself comfortable." He nodded and I went upstairs and felt dread fill my chest. I hated that that was the feeling my mom gave me any time I was near her, but since she hit me, I was scared of getting too close. "Yeah?" "The cable is off. Why is it off?" "We haven't paid the bill. Do you have a bank card and everything? I have other bills I need to get done too." "Just use your credit card." "Mom, no. I just looked at the statements and we owe over a grand on all of them put together." "Kelly, just f*cking use the credit card! I have a show I need to watch!" "No! It's too much money on the cards! We're already past due on Dad's car payment and we are past due on the mortgage. I need the actual bank card." "No. You're not using my money." "What money do I use!? It's not just yours! We need a home to live in and cars to drive!"
