In Nora's POV
"Marcie Millar!" I said to Vee, "How could he do this to me!" Vee shook her head. "I don't know babe, you should've known she'd get her hands on him sooner or later though". She was right. I should have known the minute he slipped through my fingers like soap in the shower she'd be like the nasty tub floor waiting to catch him.
Vee took me to Enzo's for ice coffee and doughnuts to try and make me feel better. We were going to have a nice girls-day-out just the two of us to get my mind off of him. After we sat down was when i noticed them. In the corner of my eye I saw Marcie and Patch sitting a few tables over. Patch was sitting on the side of the table where he could see my face and I could see his. Great. When the waiter came to take our orders he kneeled beside me in the booth. He was being so nice to me, I think he was even flirting. My eyes flicked to Patch for a moment and I saw it. He hid it in a milisecond but I saw it. Jealousy. I now held the key in the palm of my hand to make him as jealous as I was.
"He was totally flirting with you babe" squealed Vee after the waiter walked away. "I know!" I said. That pretty much made my day.
Vee, "You should give him your number!"
Me, "What! No!"
Vee, "Why not, he's hot, ripped, and totally into you babe"
Me, "Because I have plans to find someone else, someone new, someone completely Bad-To-The-Bone"
Vee, "huh?"
Me, "You'll see"
We finished up at Enzo's and left. We went to a few stores. I got a new pair of light blue super-skinny jeans, a snug black v-neck t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. At the shoe store I bought a pair of black leather platform 5-inch heels to which Vee said, "Wow babe, can't wait to see you in those". I smiled. She had no idea what I was planning.
Vee dropped me off at my house. I was home alone. Mom was in New York and would be for another week. I told Mom that because it was summer we didn't need Dorothea. I could clean the house so she could save money and I would be perfectly fine on my own.
I went out to the old shed. Thank the Lord Mom never came out here. When my dad turned 35 he bought a Black Harley-Davdison with blue fire on it. He hid it out here. It was our little secret. I tore the cover off of it and was just the way he'd left it. Clean, shiny, and I swore it even smelled like him a little, it was nice. It was one of the few things I had to remeber him by. I started it up and reved the engine. No one would hear since we practically lived in No-Mans land. I took it for a test-ride. I made a bargain with dad when I turned 16. If he helped me get my motorcylce license, I wouldn't tell Mom about his Harley.
I was riding along when I found myself at Delphic. I wasn't completely sure why I came here. A part of me desperately wanted to see Patch. To have him hold me again. But I shook those thoughts away when I saw him with Marcie. I rode right up next to them. They both had a look of pure shock on their faces. I remembered I still had Patch's necklace around my neck. I ripped it off and clasped his hand around it. I sped away on the Harley quickly, very quickly. I was going over 100 mph. I smiled. I was filled with adrenaline from what I just did. And I was humored by the looks on their faces.
