"You did NOT." Kari looked at me like I'd been speaking Swahili a few moments ago, and I just leaned against the wall, that shit-eating grin plastered to my features. I'm sorry, I was in a damned good mood, and I'm sure it wouldn't have anything to do with last night…
Who the hell am I trying to lie to? It had a lot to do with that.
"Sure as hell did, Kari. And let me tell you…what he lacks in brains…"
That was when I shut up, because
lo and behold, Captain Asshole had decided to come into earshot, and he
didn't look too pleased. And I understand that yeah, as my father,
he had a right to think that the fact that his daughter was 'slightly promiscuous'
was completely and totally wrong…
But he didn't deserve the rights
to maim anyone because of it.
He didn't say anything, though, just
gave me that glare that I hated seeing but knew I was damned good at in
my own right –
That look that meant he was up to
no good, and by the time you found out what was going on, it was too late.
And based on what had been going
on last night? If he knew that…
Oh shit.
Oh…definite shit. Montezuma's
Revenge type shit.
"Do I dare ask?" I muttered
under my breath, tossing my hair behind me, then cracking my knuckles –
It was quiet.
Eerily quiet.
Shit was goin' down, I could just feel it.
"What he lacks in brains what, 'Gin? …you still with me? Hey…"
I blinked a little, trying to bring
myself down from Assumption Land, then shook my head.
"I don't like it, Kar. I…it's
quiet."
