“Kiss me.”
I laughed.
Under my hands, her entire body went tense.
I glanced at her, completely incredulous. “You want me to kiss you.”
Her head bobbed, tongue swiping across her red-painted lips. “I know when you do, you will see it’s me you belong with.”
The benefit of the doubt I was trying to give her earlier? Let’s scratch that. This chick was whack.
“I’m not kissing you,” I deadpanned. “I’m in love with Max. Not you.”
She lunged, jamming her lips on mine and smearing them around, making me recoil. With a shout, I stood, forcing her away and nearly tossing her off me. She stumbled but caught herself on a nearby stool. Her eyes were shiny, the lipstick on her lips smeared.
Disgusted, I swiped the back of my hand over my mouth, and when I pulled it down, there was red smeared on it too.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” I wondered.
“Just give me a chance, Wes. Just let me prove I can be better than anyone else.”
I took a step back. “I don’t want anyone except Max.” My voice rang with truth. “I shouldn’t have come. I’m leaving. You can call an Uber and then have someone come fix your car in the morning.”
“Wes, wait!” she called when I turned, but I ignored her.
I was getting the hell out of here. I was going to have to wash my mouth out with bleach. I hoped I didn’t swallow her crazy.
Suddenly, the room tilted, then spun. Disoriented, I staggered, swaying on my feet.
“Wes!” Veronica worried, pushing her body against my side so she could support me. “Are you okay?”
The world tilted again, and my eyes crossed. Suddenly, it seemed I wasn’t standing on my own two feet but being tossed sideways. Without thinking, I gripped her shoulder, anchoring myself from the freefall.
“It’s okay,” she murmured. “I have you. Are you okay?”
I made a sound, trying to push past the sudden fog in my head as I tried to think clearly.
“I’ll take care of you,” she crooned. “Then you’ll see who’s the best for you.”
My eyes widened, and the action caused the world to sway even more. It was as though I were suddenly on a boat and getting very seasick.
I spun so fast I tipped over. My hip hit the unforgiving floor, and I landed in a heap. Veronica fell with me, her body landing on top of mine. Lifting my head, I stared over to the counter at our abandoned mugs.
“What the fuck did you put in my coffee?” I said, my voice sounding far away in my own ears.
“Just a little something to relax you,” she said, pushing me onto the floor and crawling up my body.
I pushed her back, the attempts weak and easily avoided. “Get off me,” I told her. “What the fuck is wrong with you? What did you give me?” I asked, looking through a gauze veil, everything hazy and slightly out of focus.
“Shh,” she said, and I swear all the hair on the back of my neck lifted. “It’s okay,” she purred, grabbing my face between her hands and leaning in. As she moved, her hips rocked against my body, and I gagged.
“Get off me right now.”
“Just one little kiss, Wes,” she murmured, brushing her lips over mine.
I tried to push her off again, but an intense wave of nausea rolled over me, and I shut my eyes.
“One kiss is all it will take.”
