love on the brain

00:74

We both sat in silence as she drove us home, while she was focused on the road, I however, was holding an ice pack to numb the pain my hand was feeling from punching the shit out of her aunt.

I stared out the window looking at the mirror that showed the car that had been following behind us.

"you okay?"

Alison's voice takes me out my thoughts, causing to slightly look away from the window and turn towards her.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

She slightly smiles, "I don't know maybe the fact that someone other than me made you step outside your character tonight." She tells me.

Well. She deserved it. But then this wasn't me.

Right. I slowly began to feel guilty for doing that back there. Not sure if I should apologize to her parents, or Alison herself.

She seemed so unbothered by the fact that I had punched the shit out of her aunt. Her biological one at that.

"I don't know what got into me back there..." I trail off, looking away from Alison. When I feel her place her hand over mine causing me to look at her again, as she looked away from the road to look at me.

"I'm proud of you."

I arch my brows, "proud of me? I literally assaulted her. I probably broke her nose or something. What if she tries to press charges, or what if she sues me?" I ask her speaking realistically.

She laughs at my rambling, "Assault is violence used on another person when they don't deserve it. Mary deserves more than a broke nose for the way she was treating you this weekend. Also if she does sue you, you happen to be the girlfriend of a very rich CEO, who can pay for you." She smiles.

"Are you sure you even went to college? I mean where do you even get these definitions from?"

"When your rich as me you don't need college or degrees. You just need power." She tells me. I laugh at her statement, "power?" I ask her and she nods.

"And is that what you have? Power?"

"At the moment, yes. But there's only one thing that can stop me from having power." She confesses.

Mhm.

"Oh yeah, and what's that?" I ask.

"You."

I look at her in confusion, not sure if her statement was a good thing or a bad thing. "Me? How can I stop you from having power?" I question her.

"Think of it like this.... Every person has a weakness, you are mine. Yet, you are also the reason I become stronger." She tells me.

I smile at her statement, "are you sure you're not saying this because you want to pull over on the side of the road and punish me for being a bad girl tonight?" I ask her shamelessly earning a chuckle from her.

"Looks like you want me to punish you..."

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Pull over and find out." I say smiling at her, I watch as she licks her lips before facing her the road again.
