“Really. He’s just a friend,” I confirm with a nod.
“Prove it.” Justin smirks, running a hand over his lips and resting his fingers on his chin, deep in thought.
“How?” I question, suddenly not liking where this is headed.
“Come to my room tonight when yourfriendis asleep, and I’ll tell you what I know,” Justin says, his pierced eyebrow cocked, daring me to accept his challenge.
“So you did know? How? And what do you know?” I ask, kicking my ass when the desperation laces my questions.
Justin tsks me, placing his pointer finger under my chin and meeting my eyes. “You come tonight, and I’ll tell you everything.”
Trying not to retch, I give him my best seductive smile and nod. “Tonight it is, then.”
“No. Fucking. Way,” Quinn hisses, his hands threaded through his snarled hair, which he’s pulled in fury.
“Quinn—” I press, but he cuts me off, storming over to the edge of the bed where I’m tying up my Chucks.
“No fucking way, Red. No.”
This conversation has gone on for the past hour, and looking over at the clock, I dare say it’ll continue throughout the early morning hours.
Once we arrived back at the hotel, Justin drunkenly swayed into his room, tossing me a small wink over his shoulder as he shut his bedroom door behind him. As I filled Quinn in on what Justin proposed, the room got smaller and smaller with his wrath. He dragged me into our bedroom, where we have remained, arguing the pros and cons of me doing what Justin has asked.
It goes without saying which side Quinn is arguing for.
“I’m not going to do anything with him. I’m just going to talk to him.”
Quinn laughs angrily, pointing toward the door. “You think that asshat has any information? He’s just playing you.”
“You don’t know that!” I retort, standing up.
“Yes, I do. He is full of shit, and he can smell your desperation. He’ll tell you anything you want to hear to get into your pants!”
I have seen Quinn angry before, but this, this is taking it to the next level of anger.
“You really think I would stoop to that? I wouldneverdo that,” I cry, trying to keep my voice down.
Quinn’s eyes soften as he takes a step forward. “I know you wouldn’t, but he would. He’s a guy, and he wants to fuck you. And that makes him a dangerous guy who would do anything to get what he wants.”
“Oh please, you think I’m stupid? I can take care of myself!”
I’m livid, but I know what Quinn is saying makes sense. It’s just if Justin knows anything that might help us out regarding my father, then I’m willing to make a sacrifice. Quinn will be in the next room, and I know he’ll have my back if anything goes wrong.
“Oh, really?” Quinn asks, and suddenly, the room heats up.
“So what happens if he asks you to kiss him?”
“What?” I gasp, stepping back away from Quinn, a slowly moving predator.
“You heard me. What if the terms of him divulging this alleged information is on the proviso of him kissing you?”
Gulping, I shakily reply, “I would tell him to go to hell.”
Quinn licks his bottom lip, snickering. “Would you?”
“Of course,” I affirm, still walking backward because suddenly, I feel like prey.
Quinn shakes his head, his tousled locks veiling his eyes. “You see, Red, I think your intentions are innocent, but if he gives you an inch, that won’t be enough, and I think you would do almost anything to get him to talk.”
