Читать книгу Bad Guys Night fantasies. A boring evening can be an unpredictable game for you - Natalia Esenina - Страница 7

I follow Olivia out of the corner of my eye, and meanwhile I am heading towards the federal highway. I know, I run into problems: to get so far as to spend a little time with this girl!

Of course, I would help any woman in such a situation. But would you go this far? Probably not. Would he himself insist on this? Definitely not.

Why couldn’t you just wait for the tow truck and leave?

I have no answer to this, but it seems to be because there is something in it …

She’s pretty, that’s for sure, although a little out of my taste. The complete opposite of Dora is in almost everything – in the physical sense and in all others. And although Dora suits me in all respects, I am not attracted to her as much as to this girl.

And this is not good.

I know.

And still I am here. I’ll drive her through half a staff, like I’ll bring her to work. While my girlfriend is waiting for me.

Damn it! Dora!

I pick up speed on the acceleration lane and turn to Olivia:

“Do you mind if I call Dora?”

She smiles and shakes her head.

I press a couple of buttons on the dashboard to turn off the speaker. I do not want Olivia to hear our conversation.

– Where are you? Doura asks, barely having time to pick up the phone.

“Olivia won’t start the car.” I will take her to work and I will be right there.

– At Olivia? My cousin Olivia?

– Sure. Who else?

“And you’re taking her to work?” In Mexico City?

– Yes.

Silence greets me. I know what Dora is with other people. And I am fully aware of how she is now holding back anger and sarcastic comments against me. She is great at polishing the facade. She understands: our relationship will end if she does not restrain herself. That’s why she is silent until she takes control of her emotions.

“It’s awfully nice of you to help her.” I just didn’t expect this. She’s not a stranger to me, but I would never ask you to change plans like that because of her.

“I know I wouldn’t ask.” But it’s not difficult for me. True.

New pause.

– Oh well. Then, I guess, we’ll see you in a couple of hours.

– See you later.

I put the phone on the stand and notice: Olivia is looking at me carefully.

– Is something wrong? – I ask.

– Here I am about the same. Is she furious?

– Not. Why should she freak out?

“Do you even know who you’re meeting?”

I can not help laughing.

“She’s not so bad.” She endured it with honor.

– Hm.

“You obviously don’t like each other.” Why do you live with her?

I glance at Olivia and see how she falls off her face.

“I say like an ungrateful bitch.” And she is your girlfriend. Sorry.

Damn, I hit her.

– Please do not apologize. My thoughts did not blame you. Just curious how it all worked out.

“Didn’t Marissa tell you?”

– Not. She did not extend this.

“Prices,” Olivia mutters to herself under her breath. I pretend that I don’t hear her, and I have fun. – The girl with whom we have been renting housing for the past two years, suddenly fell apart and went after her boyfriend to Colorado, without even warning me. It was just the time to renew the lease, and I did not have enough money to pay one. So I had to settle somehow differently. My best friend offered me a sofa at home, but she gets married next month, so nothing happened. Only the hostel remained. Until Marissa’s father offered me to live with her. He doesn’t take as much from me as I would have to pay for a room and board in college, and this is great, because such expenses are a big problem for me. I have a very modest budget, although Ted pays me pretty well for working in a bar. – She looks at me, and I nod understandingly. “Maybe, in my words, it’s unlikely, but I’m really very grateful.” I just had a hard week.

“So you work at a bar?”

– Well yes.

“May I ask why you go so far, although there are probably a dozen bars in the city where you could be taken?”

“Ted pays better than in all the other places I checked.” Many of his girls are asking for a weekend, so he pays me on top for work every weekend. I’ve been working there for two years, and I’ve known half of my life with Archie. He knows that I will always be there.

“So it’s good that I forced you to agree and drove you to work.”

She is grinning. Such a sweet, sexy grin. I want to kiss Olivia.

This is not good.

“I suppose I owe you one.”

“Do not hesitate, I can figure out how you will repay me.”

Buddy, are you already flirting?

It seems to me that the last words were ambiguous. But the saddest thing, the hint really was. There are tons of things that I would love to ask her to do for me. Or with me. Or let me do with her.

Olivia’s grin grows into a broad smile.

“Let me know when you come up with something.”

Wow! She is flirting with me too!

I have to think it over. Do not give in. But I can not. I can’t do it at all!

It’s time to change the subject.

– That’s what. I don’t know how much my brother pays, but I’m sure that it’s above average. Why don’t I talk to Cash about you? Maybe he has a place?

Panic on Olivia’s face

– Not!

“Okay,” I say, slightly shocked by her reaction. “May I ask why?”

She sighs and throws her head back on the headrest, closes her eyes.

– This is a rather long and shameful story.

– Is it related to how you took off his clothes?

Olivia raises her head sharply and turns to me with wide eyes:

“Did he say anything about this?”

“No, you yourself mentioned it that first morning, remember?”

Olivia calms down:

– Oh yes. It’s true.

– So, because of one such insignificant incident, you will refuse to work, which is much closer to home and also better replenish your budget?

– Well, the question of the possible replenishment of my pockets remains open. You don’t know how much he pays.

“I can almost guarantee: this will be enough to interest you.” He has a very big club.

“Hm,” Olivia says.

“Well, at least think about it.” If you don’t want me to force you again. I can draw you into it, you know.

Olivia gives me a look and smiles. And I want only one thing – to pull over and drag it to your lap.

“I changed my mind, maybe you’d better make me make you.”

What are you doing, boy?

Olivia raises her head from the headrest, then turns it to the side:

“Are you flirting with me?”

I shrug. She is so open. I like it.

“Do you mind?”

“Dora is my cousin, you know.”

“But you barely tolerate her.”

“That is not the reason.” I’m not one of those girls.

I look at her. And I have no doubt in her for a second. She may think that Dora is a bitch, but she will never do anything to intentionally hurt her.

“You may not believe me, but I know you’re not one of those.” I am very well versed in the characters of people, and I have not the slightest doubt that you are not one of these girls.

Olivia frowns:

“Then why are you flirting with me?”

She is serious. Not smiling, not teasing me, but not condemning me either. She’s just curious.

I am fascinated and for a moment completely honest with her:

“I can’t seem to resist.”
