“Of course,” I reassure him. “I can handle my own, you know that. Now can you go and enjoy whatever Harvard secret society party you’re meant to be at?”
“It’s just a normal party,” he laughs.
“Or so you say. Love you.”
I hang up before he can reply. I don’t need to hear it back. Plus, I think that’s the asshole’s car approaching me.
Mattock rolls down his window and winks at me. “Sorry, had shit to deal with.”
“Don’t care,” I reply as I open the door and settle beside him.
He smiles at the no-hassle conversation and starts driving. Soon enough, we’re leaving the North Shore through the other side of town.
“Do you not live in NSF?” I ask.
“Nah,” he shakes his head. “I left as soon as I had enough money to.”
“The North Shore Crew must be upset…”
He laughs. “I haven’t worked for them in a very long time. Tattoo removal is too painful, that’s it.”
He puts a hand on my left thigh as he drives, and I lower myself in my seat until it’s close to where I need it. He squeezes and gives me a look before focusing on the road again.
“I thought it’d be more difficult to get you back to my house,” he admits.
“Are you saying I’m easy?” I tease him.
“Just that girls who look like you don’t usually give me the time of day.”
“Do you know many girls who look like me?”
His eyes dart to me as if double-checking how beautiful I am. “No,” he snickers.
“I’m not too worried for you. Your class isn’t eighty percent girls for no reason.”
He hums a vague agreement and I turn to look out of the window. When did we completely leave the city? We’re on a road surrounded by tall trees.
“Dude, where do you live?” I hate not knowing where I’m going. It triggers something deep inside me, and it doesn’t feel good.
“Dude?” he laughs. “Is that what you call your professor?”
I ignore his complaints. “You know I would have settled for a car fuck, right? No need to go deep into the woods.”
“That’s where I live,” he shrugs.
“I swear to God, if I don’t see a house appearing soon…” I stop when he takes a right turn onto a dirt road. At the end of it stands a large, luxurious cabin lost in the middle of the woods.
I wasn’t aware my heart had started to dance to the rhythm of fear, but I sense when it starts calming down. Okay…he lives in the woods. Fair enough.
He chuckles as he parks in front of his house. “You should have seen your face.”
I roll my eyes at him but let a smile spread on my lips. Maybe I overreacted. “That was creepy as fuck, and you know it.”
“Alright, maybe I was teasing you a little. You’re cute when you’re scared.”
“I wasn’t scared. It was just a shit joke,” I growl.
“Okay, no more jokes. Not even about how no one can hear you scream out here.”
