I didn't go to the fucking Four Roses the next day. And even though the idea was burned into my mind that he apparently had marked me. And was enough to make me despise him for as long as possible I still thought about him.

And every thought about him led me to the unforgettable thought that he just wants what's in my pants. And to think I was naive enough to think he wasn't who I thought he was. There I was, gazing at this fucking dick head all doe eyed.

"Fuck you Billy Darely" I mutter as I shuffle around the fries I was looking over as they tried.

"Language Reese" my boss says having passed by at that exact moment.

And to think he sent a message through Tia when I hadn't shown up is like the icing in the cake.

"Fuck both of you"

Next day

It was the only day off I had this week, choosing a double shift since we lost someone. It was really the only time I had to spend with Jason besides coming home to cook him dinner and tuck him in; then turning around and going right back out to work.

I decided to instead of sleeping all day and leaving my little brother to sit in front of the TV, I'd splurg him just a little.

I managed to save just enough to buy him a new video game and take him out to eat.

"So how goes life?" I ask putting my arm around him as he made a mess of his face with the chocolate sprinkled cone he got.

We strolled down the somewhat busy street downtown without a care.

"Ehh" he shrugs swinging his GameStop bag.

"Ehh? What's ehh?" I ask.

"Nothin' I guess things are okay?"

"You guess, you're 7, life should be peachy"

"When can I get a job Pieces?" he asks using his nickname for me ever since he could talk. When he was a baby and my mother and I tried to teach him my name, my mother said 'Like Reese's Pieces' and all he could say was Peeshez. When he learned to speak better, it stuck.

"Uhh you got about 9 more years, why?"

"'Cause you and mommy work too much- I wanna help" he says looking up at me with the look I knew meant he was serious.

"You do help, by playin' Call'a'Duty all day long" I say jokingly, ticking his neck making him shrug away and giggle.

"But seriously kid, don't worry about the money thing-we're okay. Let the grown ups take care of it"

My brother scoffs and replies.

"You're not grown"

"Oh I'm not?" I ask as he took off in front of me. We chased each other up the block until we reached the next one. Just as we caught our breath having thrown away our melted cones a car with a heavy engine creeped up beside us. I looked over quickly, and my heart fell to my butt. There hanging out the window. His eyes studying me as he managed to cruise effortlessly, barely looking where he was going.

I started to walk faster, hoping Jason didn't see him. Which was becoming increasingly harder avoid with him driving at the pace we walked.

But of course he'd blow it all to hell when he called out to me.

"Reeeese..." he said dragging out the ee in my name.

I snapped my head toward him and glared fiercely only to be met with his smile.

Jason looked around me and gasped.

"Oh my god it's him" he exclaimed, gazing at the car in awe. I pulled him along faster and ignored Billy as he drove a bit faster singing my name again.

"Reese's pieeces" I stopped walking and glanced at him with furrowed brows.

I looked back down at Jason who looked up at me with all the questions I knew I'd have to answer later in his eyes.

"Stay where you are, don't move" I say sternly, making him stand closer to the corner store we were in front of.

He nods and I give him a stern look before I walk over to Billy's car.

He'd come to a complete stop and was smirking up at me with a shit eating grin. Through his window I could see Bodie and his other friend who was drugged out the other night.

"Why'd you call me that?" I snap.

For a moment I thought he talked to Tia, and just maybe she'd told him my whole fucking life story.

His smile turned to a smirk and he cockily replied.

"'Cause you look like you taste sweet. Do you?" he nods up at me.

My face turned to that of disgust, although on the inside I was shivering. My heart was pumping and I couldn't help but clench my legs together.

"You're revolting. What do you want?" I ask crossing arms over my chest as his grin grew wide, reaching his eyes.

"Y'know I ain't been ditched since-"

"I'm sorry I damaged your ego. Is there something else you wanted?" I guess my anger took place of the nerves I'd usually feel toward him.

His smile dropped and he just stared for a moment. I couldn't help but fidget under his gaze. As if he remembered something he looked past me and I instantly blocked his gaze from Jase.

"Your kid?" he asks. It might seem ridiculous that he's asking me that question, knowing my age. But around here that's something you get used to.

"Brother. Look Billy" I wasn't sure how turning down the almighty Darely would turn out, but I have to at least give it a try.

"I don't know what expectations you have of me. But I'm respectfully declining, if you wanna be friends then-"

He furrowed his brows and I knew he was taken aback.

"What the fuck a'you talkin' about?"

"I'm not interested in being some venture for you to conquer."

Still he looked confused for a moment before chuckled and rubbed his head over his shaved head.

"If all I wanted was to fuck you I wouldn't be goin' through all this trouble ,Reese"

"What does that mean?" I wanted to yell but kept it down to a low hiss.

He smiles at me and licks his lips before he reached out to me. I stepped back quickly and shook my head no. He sighed still smiling.

"I gotta go, you worki-"

"No, I quit" I lie. He knew this and laughed at me.

"Alright" normally a response like that meant that person was giving up right?

A/N: So sorry for the delay...I was busy all week, and I know this is terribly short. But to make up for that I'm uploading the next chapter like now-ish. :)
