“I’ll try. But if I don’t, tomorrow.” It’s school; I can try to sneak my phone with me.
“I love you, K. Never forget that.”
“I love you too, Conner.”
I just hope it’s enough to get us through this.
“For fuck’s sake, she’s like an annoying fly you can’t get rid of,” Warren grumbles as he pulls into the school parking lot, a loud rumble of thunder overhead not helping the tension in the enclosed space.
I barely manage a reply. When he’d returned last night, Warren had made good on his promise to make it up to me. His touch had been soft and generous, making me want to puke more than once. I’d hated every second of it as he tried to make love to me in his own sick, sadistic way.
“Don’t be mean,” I finally find my voice. “Shelbie’s good people.”
“More like a pain in the fucking ass.”
Rolling my
eyes at him, I shoulder the door and climb out.
“Hey, Kenny.” She beams. “How was your weekend?”
“It was okay.” I give her a tight-lipped smile.
“Warren,” she clips out.
“Garret.”
“So, I wanted to invite Kennedy over after school.” She glances from him to me and back again. “If that’s okay?”
He shrugs. “I’ve got some shit to take care of anyway.”
“You’re sure?” I narrow my eyes. He’s making this too easy.
“Babe, go. Braid each other’s hair and watch Magic Mike or whatever you girls do when you get together. I’ll pick you up from there when you’re done.” It isn’t a question.
“Really?”
Warren’s brows pinch. “Unless you don’t want to go?”
“No, no, I want to.” Hope spreads through me. “I just...” I bite my lip. Why am I arguing the point?
Warren is giving me a free pass to hang out at Shelbie’s place, and I managed to sneak the cell phone Conner gave me into my school bag.
Today is a good day.
“So I’ll see you later?”
Warren ropes his arm around my neck and pulls me flush against his body. “I love you, baby.”
“I love you too.” My lips curve as I smother the contempt I feel at the words.
“Call me when you’re done.”
For a second I think he means from my secret cell, but then he adds, “I’m sure Shelbie will let you use her phone.”
“Of course.” My friend nods eagerly.
This is happening.
