Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,159
shit” I suddenly exclaim and the guys chuckle as Jenny and Rob raise their eyebrows, “opps sorry, I just remembered I text Rylie to see if she wanted to do something before we came down for breakfast.”
“Go check, we’ll help mom tidy up” Trick says leaning over to give me a kiss before he gets up and starts clearing the table with the others.
“Thanks!” I say before rushing up the stairs.
Once I’m in my room I grab my phone and I’m slightly surprised to see Rylie replied almost immediately. We arrange to go to the mall for the sales and get lunch, after I explain a little bit about what’s happening with Jeremy and mention that I want to make sure I’m in a crowd rather than somewhere isolated, plus it’s still fucking cold even if it’s not snowing here.
I get dressed quickly and then grab my helmet and bike jacket. Making my way downstairs and looking forward to seeing Rylie and most likely Darcy since they seem to go everywhere together now. It’s actually pretty damn cute.
I’ve missed my crazy best friend.
“Guy’s I’m going to meet Rylie at the mall for a bit” I say grimacing when I see it’s starting to drizzle outside.
“Do you want to take my car?” Cash asks and everyone falls silent.
“Well holy fuck” Jensen smirks.
Cash ignores him walking towards me and ignoring the knowing looks that appear on the guys faces.
“Are you sure?” I ask and Cash’s grin widens, “of course. Here” he says giving me his keys as Jenny and Rob disappear, Jenny muttering something about having to tell Kat.
“Ok what’s the big deal?” I ask the others and they chuckle, smirking and looking to Cash to explain.
“I’ve never let anyone drive my car, Il mio Cuore” he says and smirks.
“And you’re trusting me!?” I exclaim and then decide to mess with him a bit, “you don’t even know if I’ve got my licence! I mean, I have only crashed like three times, so there’s that I guess” I try to keep my face straight as his pales slightly and Jensen snorts. “I can just buy you a new one now I guess.”
His eyes widen and I can’t help but burst out laughing as soon as he realises I’m messing with him he grabs me around the waist and pulls me close, kissing me hard until I’m breathless as the guys howl with laughter.
“That was uncalled for Dragonfly” he mutters grinning.
“Funny though,” I smirk and he chuckles, “thank you for letting me borrow your car, I promise to take good care of it” I promise.
“Thank you” he smirks, “we’ve got to take care of some stuff to do with Tomlinson. There were some fights or some shit. It’ll all calm down when the Pit opens back up” he sighs like he really can’t be bothered with it all.
They all kiss me goodbye before dispersing and Trick pulls me to the side.
“We have no idea what Jeremy’s game is but he seemed pretty certain in the text that he was going to see you soon. I also have no idea if Atlas has taken care of it yet and I don’t think we will know unless he tells us himself” he says seriously, “so do you have your knives, just in case?”
“Yeah I have my normal two and the two that Atty gave me. I’m not going anywhere without them again. My life just isn’t normal enough” I chuckle before standing on my tiptoes and wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him, “I wouldn’t have it any other way. Normals boring.”
He chuckles kissing me once more before stepping back.
“See you later, Dragonfly” he calls as I rush out of the door, now definitely late to meet Rylie and Darcy.
I hop into Cash’s car slightly nervous about driving it now that I know that it’s such a big deal. I really was winding him up earlier, I can drive and pretty damn well. I haven’t had an accident yet. I take it fairly easy on the drive to the mall, mainly because I haven’t driven a car for a really long time but also just in case. The car is practically begging for me to let her lose a bit though so I can tell you now I will not be taking it easy on the way back.
It’s not too hard to find a parking space and my excitement increases as soon as I finally see Rylie. She wraps me in a hug,
