The Easy Way Out

I narrow my eyes at him, fighting every urge to bite his neck. Just to show him I'm not scared of where it gets me. "Don't threaten me love, I'm not scared of shit." He stares into my eyes, silently after what I said to him.

Willow, from behind us, is literally fan girling over what's happening in front of her. Xander slows so he can walk next to her, just realizing that she isn't right behind him. Still stuck on the subject of Jeremiah. I look back towards him with narrowed eyes that I just knowww intimidate everyone. Lmao, I'm so funny.

"Shut up about that sick fuck when I'm around." Xander goes silent as he looks back at me, his head tilted sideways like I just offended him. I laugh silently to my self before hearing Xander say, "Yes ma'am, I'll shut my big ass mouth." I give off a cheeky smile to Xander before looking back at Kayson, still smiling.

I look at him close up, for the first and probably the only time. So I take advantage and admire him up close, checking out his face like a damn weirdo.

He's got long lashes that cast a shadow over his light eyes. Green eyes. He's got full, pink lips. There's a faint, long scar going from the corner of his left eye, right to his hairline. His eyebrows are well manicured and are black to match his dark hair, one with a slit in it. While his hair falls falls over his forehead, not quite reaching his eyebrows.

I don't really know why Kayson is still holding me, but I'm not really going to complain. As if I'd complain about getting a free ride.

Wait no, not like that. Like, I don't have to walk. Never mind.

I remember Willow telling me how Kayson was. She said he was stand-offish, a loner, and didn't like a damn person. Can't stand anyone, doesn't talk to anyone, and when he does he isn't nice about it. He's literally a man version of me, well me after I lost my dad. I just may be a little more emotional than him. You know, hormones and all.

I'm not gonna be cringey and say some weird shit, but I do think he's a big softie at heart. I feel like he could be nice, he could be likeable. He's just been hurt, and now he's got a shield to protect him. I will give it to him though, I don't like a damn person. Unless we're talking about my new family.

Willow and Xander. Kayson too, if he sticks around.

Once I'm in the car, Kayson gives Xander a nod and says, "Be safe with the girls, I'll see you at the office." He looks in my direction while Willow gets in next to me, leaving the passenger seat open. Kayson gives me a smirk before turning around walking to his car.

"Davina, question-" Xander starts from the driver's seat. "What the actual fuck are you trying to do to yourself?" I sigh heavily and look up at him in the rear view mirror. He gives me a sympathetic smile and says, "Seriously D, why couldn't you call someone?"

I look over to Willow who's looking out the window with tears threatening to escape. "And be a burden to every? No thankyou. Bad enough Kayso-" I grab Willow's hand and rub my thumb over the back of her hand.

"You know what, turn on some music, we can talk about this later." I look into the mirror and nod my head toward Willow. Making sure he sees me, I cough and nod my head toward her again, this time his eyes seeing both me and Willow.

Xander nods abruptly, not wanting to see Willow cry over me, again. He passes me his phone, already on the music app he uses. To lighten the mood I turn on, 'Still Tippin' by Mike Jones. I set the phone down and Xander turns it up. Xander and I rap the song, always looking in Willow's direction to try and cheer her up.
