Drunk And Doughnuts

Chapter Ten

"Vickrim!?" I yelled in disbelief and then he turned before getting into his car. "What?" His eyes back to its grumpy bitterness.

"Where are you going to?" I replied.

"With or without you, I still have things to take care of."

"I want to go with you." I said with the same emotion Katnis had when she volunteered for tribute in her sisters place. What the hell was I doing.

"Are you sure?" He seemed surprised as he tossed his unlit cigarette into the road.

"Yes." I said without really thinking about what I was actually doing.

"You might have just spared a life." He smirked but his words had worried me.

"What do you mean?" I stepped closer with caution written all over my face.

"I'll explain on our way." He paused "get in the car."

"Wait."

"What now!?"

"I can't just leave my father's car here." I said remembering that he probably wouldn't be home but I still felt obligated to return what was his.

"I'll call Connor, he'll take care of it." He said and when he had mentioned Connor's name I felt a weird tingle in my heart which automatically made me smile but I quickly brushed it off before Vickrim had noticed it and had gotten curious as to what I was thinking about. I mean Connor's cute and so full of life, I mean his such a ball of fun, his energy was like none I had ever come across.

"Are you going to give me the fucking key's or not." Vick had pulled me from my thoughts.

"Oh." I said searching my pocket and then handed it to him.

"Roger!" He yelled "Get this to Connor, tell him to return it to Delilah's house in one piece, no reckless driving." He paused and then stared at my father's car "fuck, that car is actually a piece of shit, I'm sure Connor can't destroy it any further." He said and then threw the keys into the air as Roger caught it in one go.

"Hey, lay off old faithful," I smiled "that car never gave me problems not even once, so don't disrespect her." I said but what was running through my head wasn't old faithful it was the way Vickrim said my name. I had never heard him say it before and it sounded kind of sexy.

"Whatever, get in the car." He grinned and then I climbed inside as he dismissed his men and shortly after he had joined me, staring up his masterpiece of a car and then drove smoothly onto the open road.

"Explain." I said staring out of the window as we passed beautiful houses and a cute couple jogging with their dog, which instantly made me miss Ginger.

"We're going to see my mother."

His mother, I mean what? This is moving way to fast, not that I would ever date Vickrim or anything.

"I suppose you miss her?" I said still staring at the outside, clueless about why my presence was needed.

"You can't miss someone you don't care about." He said changing gears and I could hear the sound of his car taking in wind.

"So why are we visiting her then?" I decided not to ask about his personal life because I respected that he probably wouldn't want to discuss it.

"Because I feel obligated to protect her from her fears."

"I thought you didn't care."

"I don't, but I care about Connor and if I refuse to do what he suggests is the right thing for myself and in general he would disown me and I can't afford that, not only because his like family but also because his the only person I trust with my business, without Connor my business would crumble and you know how I feel when anything intervene's with my finances."

"I understand." I said feeling a sudden rush of guilt wave over me, he trusted Connor with his money, with his business and Vickrim's money is like his baby, therefore he trusted Connor with his baby! And Connor went behind his back to see me, knowing Vickrim would never approve of Connor being that close to me. I couldn't help but swallow hard as I thought about Connor holding me, about his touch and how incredibly good it felt to be in his arms.

But wait, this was stupid! I wasn't Vickrim's girlfriend! I didn't belong to him. I was free to do as I pleased but I still felt guilty because deep down I felt like allowing Connor to be that close to me was my fault. I could have said no, but I didn't.

I wanted him to stay.

"But I don't understand why you need me." I said trying to continue our conversation so I could stop thinking about Connor.

"I suppose if at some point the conversation between my mother and I turns into a disagreement, I'm going to feel the urge to kill her."

"Vickrim!" I gasped, how the hell could he feel the urge to take his mother's life.

"You need to stop me." He spoke brushing off what he had just said as if it was the norm.

"Why can't you stop yourself?"

"I'm impulsive, I don't think twice about doing the things I want." He sped up, changing lanes "You keep me from killing." His voice sending chills down my spine as his mint green eyes refused to grace me with its beauty.

"That line would totally freak out most girls, but I think it's definitely an "awwww" moment for me." I squealed "you so like me." I giggled.

"Don't push it." He snapped as his greens turned evil to glance at me.

But it couldn't shake the giddy feeling I felt inside, it was so warm and fuzzy, it felt similar to the feeling of drinking hot coco on the coldest day in winter. In some way Vickrim was that cold day but I knew deep down, way way deep down he had a hint of hot coco boiling in his soul.

"Vick?"

"Don't call me Vick."

"Okay!" I rolled my eyes, "Vickrim" I corrected myself.

"What?"

"I don't think you're a monster." I shook my head lightly.

"Oh really?" He smirked small. "What am I then." He kept his eyes on the road.

"A big fat teddy bear."
