drying rack and pulling a box of cereal down off
the fridge, he poured himself a heaping bowl.
“Busy doing what?”
I demanded again.
“Handling my
business.” He sat down at the table and started eating.
“Is that why you
couldn’t call or text me back all day?”
Danger shrugged,
chewing his food slowly. “I didn’t realize you had called.”
“You’re such a
liar!”
Danger rolled his
eyes. “I’m really not in the mood to fight with you, Kat, I have enough on my
mind without you nagging me every two seconds. Damn, let a brother eat in
peace.”
“Tell me what you
were doing!” I demanded, choosing to be a brat. He never told me anything that
I wanted to know about where the hell he was. It was both ridiculous and corny.
He pretty much knew where I was every hour of every day and I never knew where
the hell he was.
Danger ignored me,
taking his phone out of his pocket and scrolling through the screen. Oh, sure,
now he could be on his phone. He kept chewing away on his cereal, acting like I
wasn’t standing right in front of him giving him nasty looks.
“I’ve decided
you’re going to take my virginity,” I announced.
Danger spit out a
mouthful of cereal all over the table. “God damn, Kat. What the fuck is wrong
with you?” He got up from the table and pushed past me, heading toward him
room.
“That’s what I
want!” I yelled, chasing after him.
“You sound like a
crazy bitch right now, you need to calm down.”
I waited until he
was inside of his room and facing me to answer. “That’s what I want, Danger.” I
pronounced each word slowly, trying to get my point across to him of just how
serious I was.
“I don’t care what
you want, I care about what’s going to happen and that sure is hell is not
going to happen,” he paused and then added, “ever,” to the end of his sentence.
He looked stressed out; like his mind was about to explode at any moment.
“I want it to be
you, I feel comfortable with you,” I pleaded. I felt like I was begging and I
hated myself for it, but I couldn’t really help it. This was what he did to me.
He made me feel vulnerable and needy, like a little girl again. I hated it but
I couldn’t control it.
His face softened
and something I couldn’t place crept into his eyes. “I feel you, I do. But Kat,
what happened last night shouldn’t have. It was wrong and it’s not something we
can ever do again.”
I felt myself
start to shake a little but forced myself to keep my body in control. “But I
want to do it again.”
Danger sighed
loudly, the sympathy that was just on his face a second ago gone now. “Well,
it’s not up to you. It takes two people and I’m telling you that nothing like
that is ever going to happen again.”
“But I-“
“EVER,” he cut me
off in a short tone. The tone he used with his brothers when they tried to
question something he said. I found myself starting to grow angry at the way he
was dismissing me. Like I was some child who had no say in what we do or what
was going to happen in the future. Why did he have to be such an asshole?
“Fine,” I crossed
my arms over my chest, “then don’t talk to me.”
Danger laughed
loudly. “You don’t want to talk to me because I won’t hook up with you? That’s
the most fucked up thing I ever heard.”
“That’s the most
fucked up thing you ever heard?” I challenged him. “I doubt it.” I was
borderline questioning the sketchy business activity that him and the rest of
the club were involved in. It was a low blow and I knew it but I didn’t care.
He hated when I asked any questions about what went on once he left the house.
He hated when I asked any questions at all about him and my stepbrothers but,
like I said, I didn’t care at that point. What should I have been? If he wasn’t
worried about upsetting me why should I have been worried about upsetting him?
Anger flashed
through his eyes. “You’re being a baby, Kat. And you wonder why I still
