show
around here. Picking fights, throwing a punch, kicking people out.
I don ’ t
work that way.
I love a good fight.
We ’ re
still locked up and managed to stumble out of the bathroom. The entire bar is
watching up, and why not?
I manage to get a hand free and hit
him in the stomach. Gary returns with a punch to my stomach. We push and break
apart for a second. Sweating, bleeding, he looks surprised at this fight. He
comes at me and I turn, grabbing him by his shirt and throwing him. He hits and
falls on one of the pool tables. I ’ m
right there a second later and punch him in the mouth. His head snaps to the
left. I put my left forearm down on his chest and he knows he ’ s fucked now. Right after hard
right, I come down and finish up the fight. He ’ s
shaking his head, trying to thrash, but he ’ s
lost.
I pull my hand back, ready for one
more shot.
An arm locks around my elbow and
pulls. Another arm tries to grab my other arm and I twist to break free. I spin
around, fist cocked, ready to unleash hell. For some damn reason I hesitate and
it ’ s the best thing that
could happen tonight. Why? Because there ’ s
two fucking cops standing behind me.
One puts their hand on their gun
and nods. “ Do it, asshole.
Throw a fucking punch at me. ”
I look at the other cop. His hand
it clamped to my left wrist. “ Are
you serious? ”
“ Turn
around, ” he says.
“ The
guy attacked me, ” I say. “ What am I supposed to do? ”
“ Shut
up, ” the cop says.
He slaps a set of cuffs on me.
Gary is groaning and slowly starting
to sit up. He looks dazed as blood runs out of his nose, a cut on above his
left eye, and his lip. His mouth is moving, but he ’ s not even really here right now. Drunk and beat
up, he ’ ll wake up tomorrow
and look in the mirror and realize he got his ass kicked.
But I ’ m
the one who got arrested for it.
Fuck.
The cops lead me out of the bar.
People start to clap and call out at me.
Nice fight! Way to go! Enjoy the
rest of your night!
I put my head down as I ’ m led out of the bar. I ’ m thrown into the back of a cop
car, lights flashing, like I ’ m
some kind of goddamn criminal.
I grit my teeth and shake my head.
What a fucking night.

(Jade)
I open the bathroom door and
Jake grabs me. He pulls me right in, shuts the door, and locks it. His hands grab
my face and he kisses me.
What a fucking hot kiss.
So much better than my first
kiss with Hunter.
I beg myself not to think of
Hunter right now. It ’ s
weird. And it ’ s
stupid.
Jake keeps kissing - harder,
faster.
Yes … yes …
His hands touch my breasts.
Cupping over my dress. He pushes me away and takes his hands away.
“ Fuck,
sweetie, ” he
growls. “ I ’ m never waiting again for
that. ”
“ Jake,
we have a deal. ”
“ Fuck
our deal. ”
I swallow hard and feel my heart
ready to explode. “ You ’ re drunk. ”
“ Yeah. ”
“ We
should talk …”
“ No.
I ’ m here to
fuck. You ’ re
here to get fucked. ”
“ Everyone
is … so close , ” I say.
“ I
don ’ t care, ” Jake says. “ Turn around and face the
sink. ”
I hesitate and look at the door.
Jake ’ s hands return to my
breasts. He cups them tight and pulls at me. Pulling me by my fucking breasts.
It kind of hurts, but it ’ s
so fucking hot.
I ’ m completely turned on and completely lost
in Jake.
I can ’ t help myself. I ’ m the good girl who doesn ’ t do drugs … but Jake is a drug. My
drug. My addiction.
“ If
you don ’ t listen
to me, I ’ m
going to bust into that fucking dinner, ” he says.
“ You
wouldn ’ t, ” I say.
“ Want
to try me? ” He grins. “ What
are you so fucking afraid of? Look me in the eyes and tell me you don ’ t want it. ”
I try to look into his eyes and
seem sincere. I try to lie to him. I try to get the words … to tell him I don ’ t want it. That we need
to stick to our deal. That what happened before can never happen
