And there it was.
Finally.
“So, you’re finally admitting it?” I heard myself whisper. “You blew me off because of my dad?”
“And because you can do better than me.” Releasing my foot, he slowly stood up. “But you can do better than him, too.”
“Joe.”
“Lynchy!” One of the lads called out, swinging the back door of the car open. “Let’s go, lad.”
“Yeah, I’m coming,” he called over his shoulder, causing a surge of panic to rack through me.
“Listen, we can just chat,” I hurried to say. “Hang out, whatever. As friends. Friends is fine. Just please don’t go with him, Joey.”
Please don’t let him sink his claws into you.
Releasing a pained breath, he leaned in close and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “I could go a fair bit crazy over you, Molloy.” His lips brushed against my brow as he said, “Stay out of my head now, ya hear?”
“Don’t, Joey,” I called after him, voice thick with reckless emotion, watching his back as he walked away from me. “Don’t go with them.”
Turning back, his green eyes flicked to mine, and it was clear that the shutters had been firmly clamped shut, blocking me and the rest of the world out. “I’ll be seeing ya, Molloy.”
WHAT DID YOU TAKE?
OCTOBER 31ST 2001
JOEY
Molloy wasa distraction to me on a normal day.
Throw in a sexy angel costume, and a belly full of booze, and the girl was a recipe for disaster.
I had found myself watching her for most of the night for two reasons.
The first reason being that she was a fucking delight to look at. All long legs, curved hips, blonde hair, and braless tits barely contained beneath that scrap of white silk she called a dress, as she danced like nobody was watching – which brought me to the second reason why she owned my attention.
Everyonewas watching.
Well, everyone with a dick and a penchant for pussy.
I wasn’t the only one to notice the attention she’d been receiving, either.
I’d always thought she was too good for him, and I’d been proven right by the way he conducted himself tonight. Stamping his feet like a fucking toddler because his girlfriend was garnering more male attention than his ego could handle.
Ricey’s behavior didn’t exactly vouch for his faith in Molloy – or their relationship when he bulldozed onto the dancefloor like he was the fun police and spat the proverbial dummy in epic fashion.
I knew that Molloy was far from a wilting flower, and could handle herself up against just about anyone, but when I saw the way her asshole boyfriend manhandled her on the dancefloor, I had lost my shit.
I knew it wasn’t my place to intervene, I had no business sticking my nose into their relationship, but I physically couldn’t stop myself from doing exactly that.
I did what I always did, dived in headfirst and to hell with the consequences.
And just like always it backfired on me.
Because I had come thiscloseto fucking everything up.
And in all honesty, if it hadn’t been for Shane and the lads pulling up, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought.
