“Oh, I don’t know.” She smirks, something over my shoulder catching her attention. “It’s not all bad.”
I glance back to find Levi and Jayden stalking toward us. Without a word, they sit down.
And just like that our two becomes four, and I realize that maybe I’m not alone after all.
Chapter Six
Conner
I stretch my legs out before me as Mr. Triskin chats away about... fuck knows what he's talking about. My head pounds, reminding me just how much I drank yesterday. I probably should have stopped earlier, but fuck that. I'd left both Ace and Cole deep in their girls when there was a chance another guy had his hands on mine.
Only the knowledge that I'd probably have killed myself if I got behind the wheel last night stopped me from driving straight to the Heights and doing what needs to be done.
My patience is being tested in a way I've never experienced before, and I don't fucking like it. I want to believe that Dad is doing the right thing, that he knows what he's doing. But without any information, I'm finding it harder and harder to trust him.
I don't even really fucking know him.
It didn't really bother me before, but after how cagey he was yesterday, I'm starting to wonder who our father really is. On the face of it, he appears to be the perfect businessman. He has the money, the swagger, the power. But is it that simple? The fact that he's currently being blackmailed by a teenager sure points to it not being quite so black and white.
Ignoring what's going on around me, I stare out of the window, wishing that all of this is one really bad fucked-up nightmare and that she's going to walk past any minute, teasing me with her curvy, inked legs poking out from under her pleated skirt. I close my eyes, picturing her crawling up my body with her shirt wide open and her cleavage on display for me.
My cock swells as the memory of her hands running up my body hits me.
Fuck, I need her.
My head hangs back as I fight the groan that threatens to erupt.
"Mr. Jagger, are you with us this morning?"
I drag my head forward and stare daggers at Triskin. Am I here? No, no I'm fucking not.
"Yeah, please continue." I smirk at him and wait for him to turn back to his board and resume whatever it was he was talking about as my cell buzzes in my pocket.
The second he does, I pull it out and unlock the screen.
Levi: She's at school.
My teeth grind. Does he really think he can take her back and act like everything is fucking normal? Nothing about this situation is fucking normal.
Conner: How is she?
Levi immediately starts typing and my stomach churns. If he replies that she's covered in bruises, I'm going to lose my shit right here.
Levi: I don't know. She seems okay, I guess. Quiet. Unsure.
What the fuck does that mean?
Conner: HAS HE HURT HER?
Levi: Not as far as I can see.
I blow out a long breath. That's good... I think. But Warren's not stupid. He wouldn't let her walk back into Heights High sporting a black eye and a cut lip.
Just as I'm putting my cell back into my pocket, it buzzes again.
Levi: What are you going to do?
Isn't that the million-dollar question.
