The lightsof a vehicle at the gate illuminate the pavement, and my figure casts a long shadow on the road.As the gate goes up, I move to the left side, concerned I could get run over.The lights brighten then dim politely when the driver sees me.The vehicle, however, doesn't pick up speed to drive by.It creeps up.I pull my clutch with my gun to the front as I turn to look.
Damn.He is so fucking fine!
The most beautiful man in the world is sitting with his arm out the window of his badass, black Raptor smiling at me.
What are the odds the Golden God would return right now?Karma!You're on a roll!
He stops when he gets even."Hi, Wild Thang."
"Hi, Aurelius."I turn to face him.
"You good?"
"Yes, I am," I state as fact and return his smile, then strut over to tease him.
He chuckles and cuts the truck off."No doubt, but I meant, are you alright?"
"Of course.Why wouldn't I be?"
"Where's the dude?"His eyes study my face.
"Who?"I frown, confused.
"The dude with the french braid."
I laugh."Oh, TD."I dismiss TD with the wave of my hand, then change the subject."Did you give them hell at the farewell?"
"I did.So where's TD?"
"Why?Are you worried about your bro?"I sass him, flirting.
His eyebrows lift, and he chuckles."Should I be?"
"May … be."I flirt harder.
His tongue sneaks to the corner of his mouth as he tries to stop the amusement from playing across his face.
Damn!He is too fucking cute!
I take a step closer.
"So, where is he?"He presses me, and I hear the concern in his voice.
"If you must know, I left him there."
He frowns."You left him?"
I can't believe we are talking about TD's stupid ass.I sass him."Why are you so concerned?Do you think I hurt him?"
He looks shocked by my question."Did you?"
Sassy-ass attitude always trumps the truth, so I roll my eyes, then give him my best go-to-hell look and refuse to answer him.
He raises his eyebrows and chuckles again."I feel sorry for him now."
The honesty I hear in his voice pisses me off.
Sorry for him?Sorry?For him?The lying bastard?
