“I can tell you that I don’t give a fuck….” Royal boasted, snaking around us and stopping me from entering into the car.
“I can tell you neither of us care what you give a fuck about.” Jordan got the words out before I could. She looked at him with disgust, not enough though; I could tell she liked the bad boy image he put out, and so could he.
“You give a fuck about me…” His words were smooth as he shoved past me and right up next to Jordan.
“Seriously, just leave her alone. She’s immune to your bullshit anyway,” I spoke, finally getting my car door open. I threw my shit in the back seat, and ignored whatever kind of moves he was putting on her. Jordan was strong enough to stand against him.
If I could, she could.
“She wants me…” I wanted to punch him right in the face, but instead slid into the driver’s seat. Mark hadn’t gotten Royal a car yet. I believed it was because he wasn’t responsible enough to have one, but I never brought it up. At least I knew he wasn’t out hurting himself because he couldn’t get anywhere without me.
I could hear Jordan giggle and knew I needed to end the shenanigans that he started. “I’ll call you later, Jo! Royal get in or I’m leaving you here.” You could see the mesmerized look in her eyes. Clearly she wasn’t as immune to him as I had thought.
“I’ll see you later…” he whispered into her ear, jogging around the car, and getting in before I could leave without him. He had barely gotten in the car and his door closed when I slammed the car in reverse with much more force than needed. God, he was an asshole.
“Who pissed in your cornflakes?” His voice was so rough, and it caused parts of my body to tingle that shouldn’t. Royal scared me, but at the same time caused my body to awaken. I couldn’t think with him around nor could I be held responsible for the things that I did in his presence. I wasn’t myself when he was around.
“Just this guy named Royal, who thinks he can hook up with just about anything with a hole. Isn’t it enough for you that you have Sasha and most of the school eating out of your hands? Can you not just leave one fucking person alone? Please.” I shot him a dirty look as I shoved a few pieces of lingering hair behind my ear. I looked both ways before pulling out of the parking lot, but I guess I was too focused on whatever it was that Royal was saying because I failed to notice the Dodge Charger pulling in at the same time I was backing out, the front of my car nailing the Charger’s rear taillight.
“Fuck!” I cursed, putting the car in park. My first accident and it’s all Royal’s fault. The driver of the Dodge Charger rolled her window down and I just rolled my eyes. Of course it would be her. Could my day get any fucking worse? My stomach twisted into a knot as I took in the disgusted look plastered on Sasha’s face. Her and her groupies were staring at me like I just committed murder right in front of them.
“Chill out; it’s okay. I’ll deal with her. You just sit tight; it’ll only be a minute.” Royal’s demeanor changed. A switch flipped somewhere in him. He placed his hand on top of mine as if he was trying to reassure me, and then he leaned over to speak to his little girlfriend. My eyes lingered on his hand against mine; the warmth that it brought me, the crazy feelings it made me feel.
“We’re going to need your insurance information, babe.” He smiled at her, giving her his sexiest smile and a wink.
“Excuse me, but your bitch of a sister needs to pay attention to where she is going. I had the right of way…” Sasha lashed out, her friends adding fuel to the already explosive fire as they all chimed in with their own opinions from the back seat. I was in no mood to take her fucking shit today. If she wanted to be a difficult little bitch, then fine, but I wasn’t going to be the one to deal with it.
I heard Royal inhale a deep breath and then release it, as if he was trying to calm himself. He too annoyed just as much as I was. Royal glared at Sasha, which surprised me. I couldn’t blame him for being annoyed with her. Just looking at her pissed me off. However, things were different today, Royal never sided with me and yet here he was being all nice and shit.
“Just because you consider yourself the queen of the county, doesn’t mean you always have the right of way.” I rolled my eyes, pulling my hand out from under Royal’s so that I could get my insurance information from the glove box.
A horn blared from behind me. My gazed drifted to the rearview mirror where I could see a line of cars forming. Didn’t they realize that a car had been hit? Idiots.
“If it wasn’t against the law, I would beat the hell out of you right now.” I could hear the hate in her words and decided I was done listening to her shit.
