“Yes.” I lick my dried-out lips and watch a stray droplet shake off his messy, spiky hair and travel down the left side of his chest. Exactly where his heart lies. “I’ll tell them that you’re involved in something illegal. They’ll throw you in jail and –”
“Tell me where we live,” he murmurs, cutting me off.
“What?”
“Tell me the name of the town we live in, Blue.”
We both come to a stop.
“P-Princetown.”
Zach smiles coldly. “Yeah. The Princes own this town. The cops won’t touch any of us. Not even me. Even if I’m a bad one, I’m still a Prince.”
He’s right.
The name of our town is Princetown. The town with the heat of hell, with holes in the ground, with lines, with the north side and the south side, with The Pleiades.
The place filled with bullies.
The birthplace of me and Zach.
I sigh and resume walking back. “Well, then, I’ll fuck up your bike.”
He resumes chasing me, as well. “You’ll fuck up my bike.”
“Yup. I’ll cut off the brake thingy and scratch it with my hairpin. Actually, my keys. I think that’ll be more effective. And, uh, I’ll mess with the throttle or something.”
There’s a hint of a twitch on Zach’s mouth and I get hit by the fact again that he’s the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen.
Like, ever.
“Do you know anything about bikes?”
“No. But I can learn. YouTube has everything. That’s where I learned how to pick a lock.”
That twitch graduates into a lopsided smile. “Stage-five clinger.”
“Call it whatever you want. You’re not going there. Ever.”
“Then how do you suggest I make money?”
That makes me stumble a little. Did he just say money?
“What?”
“Money, Blue. How do you suggest I make it if I don’t do my job? Ever.”
“This is your job?”
He shrugs. “Last night wasn’t. But yeah, they pay me for this. So this is my job. You know, the thing responsible people do.”
I swallow roughly at the reminder of what I said to him on his first night back.
For some reason, it never occurred to me. I’ve always seen him as this rich, bored guy who got everything handed to him.
But no. He’s far from it.
“Was this your job in like, New York?”
