Taming Each Other 14

Royal’s POV

⚠️Use of Gay Slur (jokingly) ⚠️

When we stopped in the parking lot it wasn’t hard to miss what Jo was staring at so I had decided to mess with them just a bit.

“Relax, despite what you obviously believe I like to be alive. If I marked you up in anyway Irene and Natasha would murder me,” those women were sweet, but they are truly terrifying, “plus Ralph is a dick. I’m taking you there,” I nodded towards the 24 hour convenience store next to the parlor.

“Hahaha.”

“I sense sarcasm,” I got off the bike and walked inside, “get whatever you want it’s on me.”

They gave me a look, but eventually went looking for a bunch of junk food. While they were distracted I went to a completely different direction to get alcohol, after that I got some condoms and lube. “Hey, pretty lady. That’s a lot of junk food for someone as small as you. Need someone to share?” What the fuck? I walked to where I heard the voice and saw Jo pinned by some old douchebag.

“Bitch? That was the cringiest line I’ve ever heard.”

“This chick your girlfriend?”

“First all that chick is a they and second of all that is none of your fucking business. Now scram before I get pissed.”

He got closer to me like he was trying to size me up as a raised an eyebrow to him, “what are you even going to do? Pretty boy.”

“It’s weird how you think that’s offensive,” I grabbed Jo’s hand and pulled them away as to avoid a huge fight. Then the creep grabbed my wrist.

When he grabbed my wrist I first tried to escape his grip. That obviously wasn’t working and my brain was starting to get foggy as I started to feel trapped. So, I shoved the alcohol, condoms, and lube all into Jo’s hands and roundhouse kicked the son of a bitch, hitting him straight in the face. When he fell and tried to grab my ankle I slammed my foot down hard enough to hear and audible crack. Then he started whining like a big baby.

“Don’t touch me or them thank you very much,” with that I grabbed my stuff back, “got everything you need?”

“Yep? What’s with the,” she waved her hands at the stuff back in my hand.

I held up the condoms and lube, “like your cousin said I’m a whore,” I held up the alcohol, “I drink. That’s all the explanation needed.”

I grabbed their wrist and redirected them for a second. I grabbed a keychain and a bunch of things to put on it like: pepper spray, a taser, a glass breaker, door opener, a light, and an alarm. After I purchased everything and we went outside I quickly added of the attachments to the keychain. Then I put the rest of the stuff under my seat. What couldn’t fit I put on my handle bars before turning around.

“Here, a self-defense thingy. Case something like that happens and I’m not around.”

“Thanks, but I didn’t need this.”

“Jo, you’re hot and this town has a lot my creeps than the one at this store. I’m going to do anything I can to protect my best friend.”

They smiled as a enunciated the last two words which they had said earlier that day, “thank you.”

“No, problem,” I put my helmet on and was about to start riding home before they started up again.

“Hey, R?”

“Hmm?” I turned around not bothering to lift the visor that hid my face.

“Do you think that you could try to talk to Cash?” I was suddenly very grateful I didn’t lift my visor it’s way to late to put on a mask, “for me?”

“I’ll talk to him that’s all I’m guaranteeing. Now, put on your helmet,” after I made sure they had their helmet on I drove back to my house.

When we arrived I made sure to give them all the junk food we got and then got my bags before turning around and being bombarded by a hug,  “See ya later, amigo.”

“Bye, J,” I watched them walk inside the Hugh household just to make sure they’d make it ok before heading into my own house.

“When did you become so soft?”

“Shut up, Natalie,” with that I headed up to my room for the night.

I opened a bottle beer and then thought of the things that just occurred. I have friends really close ones, but I never had gotten as close to someone as fast as I have with Jo. I don’t know what effect my worst enemies cousin had on me, but I was attrached to them. Way too attached. I already know that this probably wasn’t going to end well, but I needed it to.

Next morning

I was in the middle of getting changed when Jo barged into my room, “what the fuck?”

“Shush. You’re okay I’m your bestie plus you are into my cousin, even if you don’t want to admit it, and I like to eat pussy using your phrasing,” I laughed at their face and threw on my the rest of my clothes.

“You are really, really rich, right?”

“Yeah?”

“Why are all your clothes trash,” I threw my pajama pants towards her face.

“Bitch?”

“Whore.”

“Slut.”

“Fag.”

I laughed at the word that made everyone so pissed the other day, “what are you doing here so early?”

“I want you to talk to Cash,” I gave her a ‘do-I-have-to’ look, “come on you promised.”

“I don’t want to deal with his shit this early in the morning.”

“I’ll make sure he behaves this time around.”

“If he hits me again I’m going to beat his ass this time. He’s punched me twice in the past week I’m not doing that again. But we have to wait till after practice. In case you haven’t noticed I’m heading to football.”

“Oh, I noticed. Cash just left so I decided to keep this conversation secret from him and ride with you to football. Afterwards everyone will have a civil conversation.”

“You’re an ass. I change my mind I want nothing to do with you.”

“Whatever let’s go,” they grabbed my motorcycle keys.

“We’re taking my car, genius,” I dangled my second pair keys in their face.

“Whatever. CAN I DRIVE!”

“Fuck, no. I want to survive.”

“You don’t even now whether or not I can drive good.”

“The way you asked told me enough. Let’s go I’m going to be late because of you.”

Football practice

“HAWKSON! YOU COULD’VE CAUGHT THAT GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!”

“STOP YELLING AT ME AND I CAN FOCUS MORE!” I wasn’t worried about Coach Black I really never was I was just distracted thinking about the look Cash has been giving to me since I arrived, “I’m taking a break,” I ran to sit next to Jo.

“I don’t understand this game,” I laughed at them.

“Relax, I barely understand this game and I’ve been playing since I was 6.”

“Hey! Royal!” Ivy? She sounded worried, disgusted, annoyed? I don’t know.

“Hey, Ivy. What’s wrong?” She glared at Jo next to me.

“Who’s this?”

“Oh, Jo this is Ivy. Ivy this is Jo?”

“Hi…”

“Yeah, yeah whatever. Why are you hanging with her, baby.”

“Baby? Where is that coming from,” what is this girl doing, “and because I can.”

“But…”

“Don’t you have cheer, Preppy?” I looked at Jo who hasn’t said anything since Ives cut them off.

“Whatever,” she stormed off. What is happening?”

“That girl is such a pick me.”

“Ivy, nah, she’s a bit much when you first meet her, but she gets better. We’ve been friends since we were little.”

“That explains so much.”

“Are you annoyed with me?”

“HAWKSON BREAKS OVER GET YOUR ASS OUF HERE!” I looked between Coach and Jo before standing up.

“You can talk to me if you want.”

“Go, you’re being called.”

“Okay…”

What the hell is happening.
