Just when I thought it was over...

"Your car is blocking mine." I almost laughed at the sulking Nico in front of me, his voice irritated and his head down towards the ground.

I seriously couldn't help the snicker that escaped my mouth, quickly biting my tongue so that I wouldn't make noise anymore. That got Nico's attention, his lips pressed together before he narrowed his eyes onto mine.

"Are you laughing at me?" My mouth made an "o" shape, quickly turning my head so that I could try to contain myself.

Scratching the back of my head, I aggressively cleared my throat while looking around the room. "No..."

"Very funny. Hurry it up please." Nico didn't think the situation was funny. What a fucking party pooper. Then again, I had just rejected his love so understandable.

I grabbed my keys off of the table, closing the apartment door behind me and beginning to descend the stairs. I could feel Nico's eyes on my back... or my butt from behind.

"Stop staring."

"I can do whatever the hell I want."

"Except pull me." My eyes went wide at my comment, my face scrunching up from embarrassment as I kept my eyes forward. My goodness Sage, what the hell is wrong with you?

"Are you done with the comments?" Irritation. The emotion I managed to trigger the most with people. I didn't exactly understand why...well, maybe I did. It was my overly blunt commentary, but I can't help myself.

"Mm, I think so." Pushing through the double doors, I pressed the unlock button on my keys before opening the driver's seat door.

"Please don't kill anyone, you drive like a madwoman." Nico tapped on the side of my car, my window halfway rolled down so that I could hear him.

I gave him an offended look, staring upwards so that I could see all of his face. "I'm driving for like 10 seconds!"

"You never know with you." Looking towards the road, I rolled my eyes before raising up the window without looking to see if his hands were there. It would be his fault anyways for provoking me.

Obviously he was more than angry with what has gone down, his rude comments spilling out of his mouth. I looked in my rear view mirror, making sure I didn't have a rare chance of being able to hit Nico with the back of my car. That is one opportunity I would not want to miss.

Moving my car forwards and reversing into a parking spot 3 cars down, I had indeed accidentally went over the parking ledge. The scraping sound and sudden drop from the back of the car made me cringe hard.

"Goddamit!" I muttered under my breath, forcing the car forwards and hearing another scraping noise. "Fuck, fuck, fuck."

Nico started walking over to my car with his hands shoved into his pockets, his strides big and prideful as he examined the scene in front of him. "What did I tell you?!" He was shouting so that I could hear, getting closer with each step as I banged my head against the back of my seat.

"Shut up Nico!" His face was now next to the window, his eyebrows raised at my outburst.

"I don't appreciate all the yelling I'm receiving today!" I rolled down the window so that he wouldn't have to shout anymore, some hair in my mouth before I attempted to spit it out.

Taking one last deep breath, I twisted my head towards Nico and put on my best smile. "The car is moved. You can leave now."

"Alright, I will. Hope there's not too much damage." He shot me a wink before annoyingly walking off into the distance. Fuck him. Fuck everybody. I need my bed and I need some alcohol.
