C-dog #413: And the rest of u?
Nico #812: I was in court
LaLa #128: My phone died
Ham Bone #069: Audition, my man
I narrow my eyes at all of them. I can tell that Delilah is lying because she won t look at me. And
Parker is possibly lying, too, because he s giving me one of his nervous smiles from behind that
stupid Batman mask. Nick is looking me square in the eyes, so he s telling me the truth, and Charlotte,
even though she didn t tell me exactly what she was doing, she is telling me the truth. I m still curious
as to what is going on, but at least I know they are safe.
C-dog #413: Hammy, what the fuck is up with the Batman mask?
I can no longer hide my smile, he looks freakin ridiculous. Parker laughs and just gives me a
shrug. I shake my head. Idiot.
A commotion coming from the direction of the front entrance pulls my attention away from my
friends. Someone is yelling and screeching. I can see Monica chasing after whoever it is. I finally get
a clear view of the culprit to see the chick from the coffee shop and an overly tanned, The Situation-
wanna-be following closely behind her. No mask or messaging device. Clearly, not on the approved
list for entry. Maybe I need to beef up security at the front door. Oh hell no, not in my club. She s
not going to bring this childish shit here. I start toward them, knowing Nick, Parker, Delilah, and
Charlotte are following me. As I come up to them, the dude, who is about a foot shorter than I am,
tries getting in my face.
What is this I hear about you fucking around on my sister? he says to my chest.
Speaking in my club is absolutely forbidden. If I wasn t pissed before, I am livid now. You
wanna do this? Then get the fuck outside, I bark.
Yeah, yeah, let s do this outside! he says, trying to be tough.
I send a glare at the bitch whose name I can t fucking remember. She gives me a smug smirk as
she sets her hands on her hips. Does she really think that her brother can beat me? Wow, she must be
more delusional than I first thought. I was really hoping she would just forget about me, but obviously,
that isn t the case. I point in the direction of the front doors. She and her brother head that way. I
follow.
I pass Monica on my way out. She starts apologizing like crazy, but I tell her that it s okay, shit
happens. I step outside with my friends at my back. I take my mask off and hand it to Nick, who is
standing on my right.
Vinny, I want you to kick his ass, uber-bitch says.
I sneer at her. Once again, I wonder what the hell I was thinking when I slept with her. She s
standing there on the sidewalk in shiny black latex pants and a black bra with a neon pink mesh tank
top over it. Her heels look like something a hooker would wear. Actually, her whole outfit looks like
something a hooker would wear. And I am not even going to delve into why her face is practically
orange. She needs to lay off the fake baking. I turn to look at her brother who is in jeans, a white wife
beater, and his hair looks like it has so much gel and other shit in it, that they could use his head for a
battering ram.
Look man, I don t know what your sister s told you, but it was a one night stand and that s it.
No other promises were made, I say more calmly than I feel, hoping to diffuse the situation before it
escalates any more than it already has.
You re a fucking liar, Calvin! The crazy bitch squawks, flailing her arms around. You said
that you would call me and you never did!
I then hear Charlotte, who is standing somewhere behind me say, Can someone please get this
bitch a fishing pole so she can reel her shit in?
I sigh and hang my head. I bite my bottom lip to stop from laughing. Leave it to Charlotte to say
something like that. Jesus Christ. Of course, Delilah, Parker, and Nick bust out laughing. Well psycho
has a fucking conniption after that. She starts screaming at Charlotte, pointing her claw-like nail in her
face. I can see Charlotte is about to lay her out, so I move in between them, taking crazy by her arm
and pushing her away. Well that sets her brother off.
Get your damn hands off my sister, asshole! he shouts.
He takes a swing at me. Dumbass barely clips my chin because he can t reach high enough. I
palm his face and give him a good shove, making him stumble back and fall on his ass. His sister
rounds on me, tearing her arm out of my grasp before raking her nails across my neck.
Agh! What the fuck? I bellow, my hand automatically coming up to check for blood. When I
look at my fingers, they come away red.
You bitch! Charlotte and Delilah gasp in outrage at the same time.
I don t know what kind of look I was giving those two assholes, but the guy must have realized
that I was done playing around and shit was about to get real because he quickly got to his feet and
grabbed his sister.
Loretta, let s get out of here, he urges, as he starts to pull her down the street.
She doesn t fight him, but I can see that she s not ready for this to end. I just hope she realizes
that she better stay away because I will not let something like this happen again without getting the
police involved. I should actually get a restraining order against her regardless.
Yeah, get the fuck out of here before I kick your ass, you fucking slut! Charlotte screams down
the street after them.
I turn to look at her. Her anger is written all over her face and it warms my heart that she is trying
to defend me. I have no doubt that she could drop Loretta if it came to that. She turns to me, a deep
frown on her face. She looks at my neck.
You should clean that up. Who knows what the hell was under her nails, she grimaces.
Yeah, ew, Delilah agrees.
I nod. Alright, let s get back inside, I say, slinging my arm around Charlotte s shoulders as we
all turn to go back into the club. Pinky, will you be my nurse?
She chuckles and swats my stomach. Shut up, Calvin.
I smile. It finally seems like she s coming around. This is good& really good.
Chapter Seven
Charlotte
Okay, so I know staring at the phone is not going to make it call Calvin. I can t will the phone to
dial his number and talk to him for me. Ugh! Why am I so nervous? It s not like I don t know if he
likes me or not. He does. This has been a long time coming, too.
Do it, Charlie. Don t be a bitch. Do it!
Taking a deep breath, I swipe my thumb over my screen to open my phone. With a shaky finger, I
pull up Calvin s number and hit the call button. Taking a deep breath, I put the phone to my ear and
listen to it ring& once& twice& three times&
Hello? Calvin s deep voice answers.
Uh, Calvin, hi! It s Charlie! I chirp, waaay too enthusiastically.
I curse myself and swipe a hand down my face.
Hey, Pinky, what s going on? he replies, obvious amusement in his tone.
I m calling& to, um& I wanted to know& Fuck! I m stuttering like a fool! Get it together,
Charlie! Do you want to go out with me Saturday? I know you work at night, but we can go out in
the afternoon?
Silence. Calvin doesn t say a word. I can t even hear him breathing. Did he hang up on me? Holy
shit! Was I wrong? Maybe he doesn t like me! [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
