Chapter Five
"I feel so untouched right now, need you so much right now," Gabby murmured along with the clock radio that lay on her bedside table.
She danced a little as she dusted off her bookshelf. It was late Saturday afternoon and just like every Saturday, she cleaned her room. She then ended the day at Four Roses with Joe. Sometimes she was able to convince Becca to go with her but most times she declined. She had not brought up the situation between herself and Spink so Gabby didn't say anything about it.
"I feel so untouched right now, want you so much, some how I can't resist you, gone crazy from the moment I met you," she continued.
Gabby continued to dance to the upbeat music and didn't hear her door open. She also didn't feel the eyes that watched her in amusement and apparent lust from the way she was moving her hips. She remained oblivious until a pair of warm arms wrapped themselves around her waist.
"Oh!" she spun around in surprise.
"You should move like that more often."
"Joe," she exclaimed. "You scared the shit out of me."
"Did St. Gabby just cuss?" Joe stepped back and put a hand over his heart, exaggerating.
"No," she pouted and crossed her arms.
"Come on babe, we're all a little bad sometimes," Joe smirked.
She laughed as he grabbed her pulling her against him and started kissing her neck.
"Okay big boy, as much as I'm enjoying this, I have to finish my room."
Joe reluctantly let her go. He flopped down on her newly made bed and watched her as she finished dusting.
"Joe, I just made that bed, you better now mess it up."
Joe rolled his eyes and rested his arms behind his head.
"Don't roll your eyes at me," she said with her back turned to him.
Joe sighed to himself although inside he was internally happy that she knew him so well.
"I have an appointment to get my tattoo tonight."
"Hmm," Gabby was still kind of skeptical about the whole tattoo thing. But Joe had a lot already and he was a big boy. Besides she never told anyone but she found them kind of hot. Joe stood up off the bed and walked up to her. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. Gabby laid the rag she had been using on the desk and latched onto Joe's arms, leaning back into him.
"I want you to come with me," he said into her ear.
"You do?" Gabby wasn't sure. She wasn't the biggest fan of tattoos, although she thought Joe looked amazingly hot with them.
"Yeah, I want you there. Most of the tattoos I got while I was drunk. I want to remember this one with you there. You never know, you might see something you like."
"I doubt that, but okay, I'll go. What time?"
Joe grinned, "Around nine."
Gabby looked at the digital clock on her bedside table, "that gives me about four hours. I'm going to go get a quick shower and we can go from there. Be back in a minute."
Gabby kissed him quickly and grabbed some clean clothes. Joe flopped back down onto her bed and rested his eyes.
"Okay, so I'll swing by your dorm around eight?"
Joe frowned and opened his eyes as Becca walked into the room not noticing him. She dropped her purse on the desk Gabby had just cleaned and began emptying its contents.
"Gabby just cleaned that," he said dryly.
"Ah!" Becca squealed not expecting anyone to be in the room.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Joe chuckled sarcastically, "what do you think?"
"You like her little puppy aren't you?" Becca scoffed as she rummaged through her drawers. It was clear that she and Joe did not get along but tolerated each other for Gabby's sake.
"Rather puppy than bitch," Joe shot back.
Becca glared at him. She opened her mouth to retort but was distracted by the door opening.
Gabby smiled seeing Becca and ran a towel through her wet hair.
"Hey, where have you been all day?"
"Nothing just spent the day at the library working on my physics paper."
"Physics?" Joe asked skeptically while Gabby nodded her head. One thing about Becca was that she was extremely smart. She just didn't like to boast about it.
"Yes, physics. You might have heard of it. It's the science that deals with matter, energy, motion and force."
"Becca," Gabby warned. Joe narrowed his eyes.
Becca just shrugged and smiled innocently. She turned and looked at Gabby.
"I'll be out late. I'm going to a party with Sienna. So don't wait up."
Becca grabbed a bag she had filled with clothes and kissed Gabby's cheek. Without another word, she left the room. Gabby looked pointedly at Joe and raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Joe asked.
Gabby just shook her head. Those two will never change. But Gabby almost didn't want them to change. She loved them both just as they were.
"Order up, table four."
Tanya sighed wiping away a strand of hair that had fallen out of her ponytail. She grabbed the tray which had a plate of onion rings and a sandwich and another plate with a bowl of chili. She walked as fast as she could carry the tray to table four, where two teenage girls sat.
"I've been waiting so long for my food I need a refill on my coke," one of the girls said sticking the empty glass in Tanya's face before she had a chance to put the tray down.
Tanya wanted to comment on the young girl's tone but bit her tongue. With a stiff nod, she grabbed the cup and walked over to the counter.
"Refill on the coke please," she asked dryly and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Rough day?"
Tanya looked over and was pleasantly surprised to see her new neighbor Brian sitting on a stool at the counter. She smiled at the sight of him.
"Yeah, non stop all day," she leaned against the counter.
"Think you can take a break?"
Tanya bit her lip and looked around. She glanced out toward the back and saw Bruce the owner was too busy to notice.
"I can spare a couple minutes," she grinned and motioned for him to follow her. Brian smiled and quickly stood to follow her. Tanya led him out the back door into an alleyway.
"This is where we go for breaks most of the time."
Brian nodded and took her hand. He led her down the alleyway to the busy street. Down the street there was a little bookstore with a couple of benches out front. He lead her to the bench and they sat down.
"It's so good to get out of there," Tanya sighed in relief.
"Yeah you looked like you needed to get out of there," Brian leaned back and rested his arm on the back of the bench.
"Well thanks for getting me out of there. Even if it's only for a few minutes," she smiled shyly and looked down at her hands.
"No problem. You know I really enjoyed hanging out with you the other night," he said.
"Me too," Tanya agreed softly looking up at him. He really was handsome. His face was now clean shaven which made his mouth and lips look so much better than she had originally thought.
"So your boyfriend is quite a character."
"Huh?" Tanya's eyes that had been focusing on his lips snapped up to his eyes which were now filled with amusement.
"That was your boyfriend that stormed into your apartment the other night right?"
"Yeah, he is. We live together but you've probably figured that out. We've known each other for years. We've been together almost two years now."
"He doesn't seem like the type of guy I'd see you with."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," he said quickly thinking he had offended her. "It's just he's covered in tattoos and looks like he could be in one of those gangs you hear about in the news."
"You're really not from around here are you?" Tanya chuckled not mentioning how right he really was. Brian shook his head and laughed along with her.
"So what kind of guy do you see me with?" Tanya asked curiously.
Brian shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, someone like, like-"
"Like you?"
Brian gazed at Tanya and felt his lips curl upward. He leaned in closer to her.
"Yeah, someone like me."
He watched as her lips parted as if inviting him. He wanted to kiss her and she seemed to be responding. His lips were inches away from hers; he seemed to be waiting for her to make the next move. Tanya glanced down at his lips. Her head was shouting at her to stop but it was like she couldn't control her body. Just as their lips touched there was a loud honking form the cars on the street. Tanya jumped up placing a hand over her mouth.
"Oh God, what did I just do?"
"I'm sorry," Brian stood apologizing.
"No, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have flirted like that."
"Well I started it. And I liked it."
Tanya stared at Brian. She had to admit she really liked him. She felt guilty that she had wanted to kiss him. She thought of Baggy and his reaction if he had seen.
"God, what if he had seen?" she whispered.
"What?"
"We're in the middle of the street. Anybody could have seen. Billy has people everywhere," Tanya went on, not hearing Brian.
"What. Nobody saw, who's Billy?" Brian was confused.
"Look I'm sorry. I got to get back to work. I'll talk to you later."
Tanya didn't wait for a response and rushed down to the street back to the diner, leaving Brian staring after her.
"What are we doing here?" Becca stared horrified up at the Four Roses sign.
"It's a bar one of the guys in my lit class told me about. Apparently it's badass. I wanted to come check it out. Why? Have you ever been here before? Of course you haven't, you hang with that prude Gabby Smith and the likes of her would never show up at a place like this."
Becca stared at her new 'friend' Sienna. She was as stuck up as they come. With her platinum blond hair, skinny body and dark makeup on her pale face, she even looked the part. Normally she would have stuck up for Gabby but at the moment she was having a mini panic attack because they were standing outside of the Four Roses and there were two mustangs parked in the parking lot.
"Wait," she tried to say but Sienna was already opening the door and walking in. Chantal, another girl who was with them just giggled and followed Sienna. Chantal didn't say much of anything and followed Sienna like a puppy following her every beck and call.
Becca gritted her teeth and followed the girls inside. The first thing that hit her was the familiar sent of smoke and alcohol. Her eyes drifted to the table in the back which was full. She recognized the back of Billy's bald head. Everyone was there with the exception of Joe and Gabby. She spotted Spink but diverted her eyes quickly. She found Sienna and Chantal at the bar ordering drinks. She walked over to them praying she wouldn't get seen. The bar wasn't that crowded, beside's the gang there was only a handful of people there. Most were guys with two or three woman.
"Okay, so there are like no hot guys here," Chantal complained.
"I don't know," Sienna said thoughtfully. "I think that guy over there is pretty hot."
Becca looked over to where Sienna was looking. They were trained on the gang's table. Becca tensed when she thought she was looking at Spink but them amusement filled her when she realized she was looking at Billy.
"Good luck," Becca muttered. Gabby had briefly filled her in on Billy's past with Madison.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sienna glared at her.
"N-nothing," Becca stuttered. "It's just that he doesn't look like the type to fall for just any pretty girl."
"Well I think your wrong. He looks exactly like the type of guy to want a good time."
With that Sienna winked at her and Chantal before strutting over to the gangs table.
"Oh no," Becca closed her eyes with a sigh. When she reopened them she saw Sienna trying to talk to Billy but was failing miserably. Sienna then looked over at them and motioned for them to come over.
"Come on, she's calling us," Chantal beamed.
Becca unwilling walked over to the table. She noticed some of the guys nod their head in acknowledgement. She saw Heco nudge Spink who had yet to look up. But when he did she noticed a light come to his eyes. She felt almost giddy when she realized it was because she was there. Then she frowned at the fact that she felt giddy.
"Why don't you ladies sit down," Bodie smirked, eyeing Chantal like she was a piece of candy. She blushed under his gaze.
"Got a seat for you right here Bec," Spink patted his lap and smirked. Becca shook her head no but felt herself being pushed over to him.
"Sit down," Sienna hissed under her breath, pulling a chair next to Billy and sitting down. Becca grimaced at the annoyed look on Billy's face.
When she got near enough, Spink grabbed her hand and pulled her down on his lap.
"There," he said. "Not so bad is it?"
Becca wouldn't admit that she felt comfortable and instead relaxed into him. But that was all she was doing with him.
"You guys know each other?" Chantal questioned.
"N-no," Becca tensed causing Spink's arms to tighten around her. She noticed Billy looking at her with an eyebrow raised slight amusement in them.
"Of course she's never been here," Sienna snapped moving her attentions back to Billy. Billy lit a cigarette and closed his eyes letting out a deep breath. Becca let out a sigh of relief. She watched Sienna flirt with Billy, and looked like he was ready to explode.
