Joey climbed back in and started the engine before quickly tearing off down the street.

“I hope there’s not any more of you,” he said. “The car’s weighing down at the back.”

“Sorry,” I began to say but was cut off by Gibsie.

“It’s his fault—the fat bastard,” he announced. Turning to face me, he added, “Hey, is your dick okay, man? I’m really sorry about that. I hope I didn’t squash your balls.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Go fuck yourself, Gerard.”

“I was being sincere, Jonathan,” he shot back, wounded. “For that, you can get your own bloody ice tonight… Hold up!” Grabbing the front of my shirt, he dragged me toward him and sniffed my mouth.

“You traitor!” he choked out, looking comically horrified. “You went to the chipper!”

“Yeah, I did,” I replied, shoving away from him. “And it was fucking delicious, and I have no regrets.”

“What did you have?”

“A few cheeseburgers and a curry chips.”

“How did it taste?”

“Better than sex.”

“We’re supposed to be on a diet!” Gibsie hissed in an appalled tone before quickly asking, “Did you get me something?”

“Yeah, I got you a burger.”

“Thanks, Johnny.”

“And then I got hungry so I ate it.”

“You’re a monster.”

“You two are so weird,” Aoife laughed. “Aren’t they funny, Joey?”

“They’re something, alright,” Shannon’s brother replied.

“Hey.” Suddenly realizing he was in the company of strangers, Gibsie leaned through the middle of their seats and asked, “Who the fuck are you guys?”

“Johnny’s friends with my boyfriend’s sister,” Aoife explained.

“Sister?” The word seemed to confuse Gibsie, who stared blankly at me for several moments.

Throwing a prayer up to the heavens that he could control himself, I nodded and said, “Shannon.”

Gibsie sank back beside me and frowned. “Shannon?”

“Yes, Shannon.” I glared at him.

Gibsie’s eyes widened then, awareness suddenly dawning on him. “Oh, Shannon!” he exclaimed. “Ah, yeah, little Shannon from third year.” Grinning, he nudged me in the ribs. “Johnny here has a fierce soft spot for your sister.”

“Is that right?” Joey replied tightly.

Oh fuck.

“Yeah, he’s always looking out for her at school,” Gibsie added with a wink. “Making sure she’s not getting into any hassle.”

I bit back a groan and resisted the urge to wrap my hands around his neck and choke the life out of him.
