She peers down at the horrid shirt she’s wearing. It probably smells like him. Nowshe’sgonna smell like him. “I spilled a drink on my jacket and Parker was kind enough to let me wear his sweatshirt.”
“Take it off.”
“What?” She scoffs. “No. It’s cold.”
Without hesitation, I rip my hoodie off my head and throw it at her. It rolls down her stomach and drops to the pavement. “Take his fucking shirt off.”
When she still doesn’t, I take it upon myself to grab the hem of the shirt and lift up. She resists and squirms, trying to fight me but I don’t give in. “Dammit, Angel.” My voice rises in pitch. “Take the fucking thing off, now!”
Finally, she’s free of it, but not after a fight.
“And didn’t you learn your damn lesson about accepting drinks from strangers? Don’t fucking do it!” Still fuming, I kick up my hoodie at her, but it falls back to the ground. “Put that on so you don’t freeze.”
“You’re unbelievable!” she snaps, obviously pissed. But that’s okay. She’ll calm down and when she does, she’ll understand why I don’t want her wearing some douchebag’s cologne-scented hoodie. And it’s the good smelling shit at that. Now I’m gonna inhale this fucker’s scent for the rest of the night.
Riley aggressively snares my hoodie off the ground and pulls it on, the scowl on her face never faltering. While she hates eating her pride like this, I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
Maddox’s voice rises behind me and I spin around just as his fist lands on Parker’s nose. “Damnnnn,” I drawl. “Fucking go, Maddox!” It’s not often we see Maddox’s feisty side and it’s definitely one I think he needs to display more often.
Parker cups his nose in his hand and curses a few times before backing away and retreating.
Riley grips the sides of her head as fury radiates from her in waves. “I cannot believe you guys. How dare you!” She pivots on her heel and pushes her way through the crowd that’s gathered around us, her head hung low in embarrassment.
“You or me?” Maddox asks, referring to which one of us should go after her.
“Think this one might take us both. She’s pretty fucking mad.”
As we’re following behind her, I ball Parker’s sweatshirt in my arms, bringing it along with me.
A few minutes later, she finally stops when she sees Scar. Instantly, she throws herself into her friend's arms. Just when I thinkshe’s crying, I’m proven wrong when she lifts her head up and a wide smile is on her face.
“I’m so glad you’re here.” Riley hooks her arm around Scar’s and shoots Maddox and me a death glare before pulling her away.
“Let her go,” I tell Maddox. “She needs some time, and she’s in good hands for the time being.”
CHAPTER27
RILEY
“You having fun?”Scar asks as she zips up her black sweat-jacket.
“I was,” I grumble. Just thinking about the way Ridge and Maddox behaved has me furious again. “All I was doing was talking to a guy—”
“Let me stop you right there.” Scar puts a hand on my shoulder. “Lemme guess. They both lost their shit and the poor guy you were talking to ended up licking his wounds as he was forced away?”
“How do you even know that?”
“Ry,” she deadpans. “Have you forgotten who my boyfriends are?”
My forehead creases prominently and my shoulders sulk. “It’s not normal, though. Is it?”
“Well, hello there.” A man's voice comes from behind me. I glance over my shoulder to find two guys I’ve never seen before. One pair of eyes undressing my body, while the other does the same to Scar. “Why don’t we go fill those empty hands with drinks?”
Out of nowhere, Neo and Crew appear, forcing their bodies in front of us like a shield. “Not a chance in hell,” Neo barks, shoving one of the guys away, while Crew does the same to the other.
“Walk away while you still can,” Crew says as the guys turn and practically run away.
Scar and I share a look as we burst out laughing. “You see,” she says. “I’m right there with ya, babe.” Her eyes dart to Neo before she slithers up to him and presses her lips to his.
