Xavier FINAL(72)
“No. I’m not wearing either,” she laughed and so did Nickie.
She sat down and then took a drink.
I closed my eyes and leaned back. I needed to figure out what I was gonna do now. I felt hands on my shoulders and I leaned my head back. “Took you long enough.”
Her lips touched mine and I knew right then they weren’t hers. I moved my head to the side breaking the seal of the lips on mine.
“We were waiting.” The blond purred.
I sat up and looked at Taelyn. She looked away quickly and she smiled at Nickie.
“Dance?”
“Yeah.” Nickie stood up and took her hand. “You lead girl.”
He looked at me and shook his head disapprovingly.
“You can both leave.” I stood up and walked past them.
The song changed and I walked up and tapped Nickie’s shoulder.
“Not now man.” He shook his head.
“Not a fucking request man.”
Then she fucking floored me. She grabbed his face and kissed him. She kissed him hard. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. When Nickie pulled his head back I grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled him back.
“Let him go.” Taelyn yelled at me and then she started the crying. “Can’t you just leave me alone? Go back to your girls!”
“I didn’t kiss her. I didn’t fucking kiss her! You -- fuck you!”
“Never again.” She wiped her face.
“That’s enough X,” Nickie stepped between us. “Go sit your drunken ass down and let her breathe.”
“No.” I growled at him.
“No?” He laughed.
“Fuck you too. I’m out.” I turned and walked out the door.
I was at the SUV when she yelled my name from behind me. I turned and looked at her.
“You can’t drive you—you--idiot!”
“I can.”
I got in the SUV and the passenger door flung open. She jumped in, leaned over and grabbed the keys out of my hand.
“You need to give me back my keys and get out.”
“I’m not letting you drive drunk Xavier.”
“I’m not your problem. You go back in and suck face with--.”
“You kissed that—that-- Bimbo.”
“No, she kissed me. I thought you had come to your senses, I thought it was you.”
“Oh yeah, I would come to my senses alright. I walked in and saw you dancing with two girls who were rubbing up and down your leg. Then I watched you push one of their hands--.”
“Thanks for the play by play sweetheart, I was there remember. And you fucking weren’t.”
“I quit.”
“You can’t quit. You still have to pay his fucking bills!” I laughed. She reached up to slap me but I caught her hand.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Her voice broke, “What do you gain from this?”
“Why are YOU doing this to ME?”
“I’m not doing anything. You’re so fucked up. This was supposed to be-- fun.”
“Yeah sure was. Taelyn just get out okay. I can’t, no I won’t let you fuck with me.”
“You do it all yourself. You--.”
“I’ve never felt like this. Give me a fucking break okay. I told you this morning that I like you. I fix shit for you and you piss all over it.”
“What do you want from me?”
“More than I care to admit. So please just get out--.”
“You say and do--.”
“I do what needs to be done so I don’t have to ever see you bleed again. I do what I do so you smile, have fun--”
“You’ve made me cry more than I have in my life--.”
“You and I can’t do this. I’m not gonna change. If I care I care. You’re gonna end up back with him--.”
