I opened the car door as I questioned "Are you trying to say that you fixed my car a few days ago and it was only today that you are telling me?"
Stone nodded.
I exclaimed, "Why would you do that?"
Stone did not even acknowledge the question because he remained silent.
"What was the point in that?" I demanded to know "It was you that suffered for it. You had to take me to school almost every day this week."
"Not today, I didn't." He said, his voice husky and strained.
"Why did you say it was not fixed after the ice cream parlour? What was the point in the double bluff?" I ranted out "Actually it is kind of a triple bluff because you told me you fixed it then you said you had not."
He looked down at me with a soft look in his eyes as I continued to ramble.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?"
"I needed you away from him, so I took you here." He revealed with a rough sigh "I was planning to keep it for a while longer."
"You are evil." I told him "How dare you keep my car away from me. Thank the car gods that I don't have to ride to school with you anymore."
I got into the car and put on my seatbelt to stop the impulse to go and wring his neck.
He was still watching me when I rolled the window down on my door and stuck my head out to see him.
"I was on the phone to Lana, by the way. Not Chase." I informed him with an evil grin "There was no ride home."
The smugness had been wiped from his face as he shook his head "Wicked girl."
I beeped the car horn I smirked at him.
When I turned back to the rear-view mirror was when I noticed that I still had on his jacket.
With one last queenly wave out of the window, I motioned to the new addition of my wardrobe "I am keeping your jacket by the way."
"That is fine, Medusa." He replied before he pledged "I will come and get it later."
"Yeah. Whatever." I stuck my tongue out at him before I pushed down on the accelerator.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Chapter Twenty-Two
The giant’s threat to come and get his jacket back was forgotten by midnight.
I flicked through the television channels between scooping up large spoonful’s of ice
cream into my mouth straight from the carton.
There was not a lot to watch at night, so I had settled for a crime documentary.
During a commercial break was when I started to hear noises. I lowered the volume and listened to the large sounding footsteps.
I had expected my father's drunken stumbles it did not sound like that.
