The cold wind howling outside is enough to make my teeth chatter. My hazy eyes scan the number of guards patrolling around , bright lights at every corner.
" I can't believe I let you barely talk me into this.Your location should be four floors up —in bed."
Kennedy simply shrugs to that , " Your curiosity deserves the blame."
"Tommy's not going to like —"
" My younger brother doesn't have a say in how or where I move to , Selena."
" I think he does. We are both wanted after all."I watch him as he contemplates with what car to pick at the lot.
" The S.U.V is still being fixed after the shooting incident." He states.
Looks more like a car shop than a parking lot..
" How about the red one." I chirp in , pointing to a convertible.
He traces my gaze then frowns ,
" No."
" What? , it's classy! , I know it's not the latest editi —"
He sighs , " You have a thing for convertibles?"
" ..That's a no , isn't it?"
" I'll give you the chance to choose another , This car doesn't move out. I'm not drivi—"
" This is my choice...and you're not driving . I am. ( A guard approaches us with keys ) .. hello , we'll take—"
" Dwain . No . "He randomly picks a key and walks over to the vehicle that beeps .
I follow him in , letting out a sigh of relief as he turns on the heater. " Erh..how about I drive , are you sure you can—"
"I can."
Gees..
I scoff , stuffing my hands in my sweater pockets as he drives into the main streets.
" Where are we going by the way?"
" Put on your seatbelt Selena ."He disapprovingly glances my way.
" It skipped my mind."I shyly smile , doing as told. " Now back to my question , where are we heading to ?"
" Alicia's flat."
" Wait what?"
He chuckles , hands on the coated steering wheel ," To be fair , it was your choice to tag along."
"Kennedy." I frown , "...I can't go with you."
His expression is playful now , clearly enjoying the look on my face." Why? "
"why?, why have me tag along when you were headed to her place?"
" I didn't think you'd have a problem with that , Selena. " He states.
" It's not that. I just...you know what forget it."
" I'm not as thrilled to see her either but she said we needed to meet —something about 'a life or death situation ' and sounded off on the phone. "
Well I don't see how else she could have caught your attention..
I sigh. "I'll stay in the car whilst you have your life or death centered conversation with Alicia. She is not going to like the sight of me."
Neither will I.
" I don't think leaving you unsafe in my car just to have you crowd my mind while I'm with her is the best idea." He pulls up into a partially noisy neighborhood. " It won't take long."
