Chapter 33: Hickeys

Start from the beginning
                                    

I roll my eyes as Jordan disappears to whichever girl he's hooking up with now.

I sigh, turning my head towards Jayden. "What is it now?"

"Will you atleast hear me out before... nevermind. Just hear me out." He says, his voice softening up.

"Fine."

"Will you walk with me to my car?" He asks.

"Yes, Jayden." I roll my eyes at his obvious questions.

"Is that the guy you were drooling over yesterday?" He asks as we walk out of campus doors.

"I wasn't drooling over anyone." I state.

"What were you doing in his dorm?" He asks unlocking a car I've never seen. Before.

"Is this what 'hear me out' is? Because if so... I can walk right back into Jaden McConnell's bed." I say, surprising myself at the sentence.

Sometimes I need to think before saying-

"What?" Jayden asks, stopping himself from opening his car door.

"Nothing." I smile.

"You were in his bed?" He asks, jealousy clear in his voice.

Now the logical thing to do would be to tell him the truth.

I'm not logical.

"Mhm." I say, getting in the passenger's seat.

He gets in the driver's seat, and closes his door before starting his car. He then looks me in the eye and says, "No you weren't." He states, confidently.

I scoff. "Oh did you stalk me now?"

"No. But when he put his arm around you, you tensed up. And immediately got uncomfortable. And then politely pushed his hand away. Which makes me think.. either you don't like him touching you. Or, he's never touched you before." He says, as he drives out of the parking lot.

When did he become a detective?

"That's pathetic." I say, rolling my eyes.

"Sure."

"So can we fast forward to when you explain everything to me? Or are we gonna continue dissing Jaden?" I ask.

"Do you like him?" He asks, turning before speeding to the highway.

"Oh my God." I say, annoyed.

"Answer my question"

"No. You answer MY questions." I say, raising my voice.

"Did you eat?" He asks, ignoring me.

"Yes." I say, rolling my eyes.

"Why do you look tired? Did you sleep?" He asks scanning my face.

"Why are we interrogating me? We should be interrogating YOU." I add.

"Where do you wanna go?" He asks as he drives.

"So you kill people for fun?" I ask.

"No, Amber."

"You're a mafia leader?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"Why?" I ask skeptically.

"I was hoping for more creative questions."

"Fine. Why didn't you tell me all this earlier?" I ask.

"Knowing about this puts your life in danger."

Uhm what-

"Oh so now I'm gonna die too?" I say sarcastically.

"Nothing's gonna happen to you, Amber." He says.
