“What now?” Haven asks.
It’s been a week since I stepped foot on this bus of torment. I really thought after telling them I wasn’t leaving, and we could be friends that I’d extended an olive branch. Well, they’ve taken that branch, torched it, and tossed it back. They are horrible humans. I’ve never in my life met people with so much hatred toward someone.
The first few days, I thought they would get over being such assholes, but it seems the longer we are trapped together, the worse it gets. They completely ignore my presence. I’ve tried to go over things with them, and they just keep talking to each other like I’m not even there. They don’t offer me food when we stop for it. At one point, they even hid all the drinks so I had to ask the driver to stop so I could buy myself some. They all take forever in the only bathroom on this bus, making sure I am always the last one to use it. Do you have any idea what it’s like using a closet sized bathroom after four men? It’s disgusting!
Tonight, is the first night we’ve stopped somewhere besides getting food. They’ve all been drinking at the bar and now they are piling on the bus one by one with women. I was trying to relax on the couch, but Kegan looked at me with the slutty girl on his arm and sat down almost right on top of me. So, I’m now hiding in my little bunk with only a curtain to separate me from the sounds of a porn being made.
After I explain it to Haven, she laughs. She actually laughs at my situation.
“Yeah, thanks a lot,” I say, frustrated.
“I’m sorry, Lei. I do feel for you, it’s the way you describe it all,” she says.
“Haven, I don’t know if I can do this.”
“You’ve taken shit since you started working for your grandfather. This is no different. They are trying to run you off just like he does. You didn’t let him win, don’t you dare let them,” she scolds.
The music gets louder, and Everett falls into the bunk below me and he’s not alone. I grab my pillow and hold it over my head. This can’t be happening.
“Easier said than done when I’m now feet away from the porn,” I whisper.
“What?” she yells.
“Yep, Everett just brought his friend to the bunk under me. I’m gonna need to listen to this shit play out at a way too personal level,” I hiss.
I can tell she’s fighting a laugh and I appreciate her at least trying. “Just put in your earbuds and try to drown it all out. Think of how tomorrow you are going to be the powerhouse bitch you are and take control. If anyone can do this, it’s you, Lei.”
I sigh as I grab my ear buds. “Fine, I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Good luck.”
We hang up and I close my eyes. Not having the phone to my ear makes everything much clearer. The girl below me is moaning loudly and I squeeze my eyes tighter. I hear laughter from the front of the bus, even over the ridiculously loud music.
I push my earbuds in and crank up my new playlist. Everything but Loyalty. I pull the covers over my head so I can lay on my pillow. I try to clear my head of what’s going on around me, and focus on getting control of them.
When Jennifer said they were out of hand, I don’t know what I expected, but it sure as hell wasn’t this. They aren’t out of control: they are purposely pushing against any authority. Kegan is by far the worst. He is the leader, and they all fall in line right behind him. He is the most arrogant, self-centered, hardheaded man I’ve ever met. The fact that his dark eyes and muscular body distract me pisses me off. When he bothers looking in my direction, I can see the anger on his face, and I’ve come to realize that smirk, as sexy as it is, means he’s about to screw you. Not in a good way either. In a, I’ll be happy when you are in tears on the bathroom floor, kinda way.
I need to gain the upper hand and fast.
As my mind continues to spin with how to accomplish that, something hits into the bunk and my curtain is ripped down. I scream, tossing the blanket off my head and I see red.
Kegan has his tongue down the slut’s throat, dry humping against the bunk. For fuck's sake, Everett is right below.
“Kegan!” I yell.
He slowly pulls his lips off hers and I shake my head at his hazed over eyes. He’s beyond drunk.
“Enemy,” he says, lifting an eyebrow.
Not one word in a week and that’s how he refers to me. I’m so pissed I feel myself beginning to shake. “Get the fuck away from my bed. Take that shit somewhere else!”
He steps back and the bimbo nearly falls to the ground. He glances down at her before lifting his eyes to mine. That smirk makes its way and I refuse to back down. I can barely sit up, so I’m on my elbows, and I’m sure my hair is all over the place from pulling the blanket off me. I lift my eyebrows, pushing him to continue. I must look insane, but I don’t care.
“You jealous? You want my tongue and hands on you, angel?” he whispers, his deep sexy voice making it hard not to squirm.
“Not even a little,” I say. Great come back, that will show him.
He laughs and I groan in frustration. “This is my bus and I’ll fuck who I want, when I want, where I want,” he says, winking.
