***TW: Graphic scene of sexual assault depicted***
I couldn't feel my shoulder.
That could've been because my entire arm was pressed against Colton's, and the entire bus was staring at us as if they were watching a zoo exhibit.
"You're going on a date with Colton? Since when are you two a thing?"
Mori's shock was palpable as I opened my mouth to explain but Colton beat me to the punch.
"Since I asked her out for this weekend. My boy Carter needs someone too."
"Yeah, come on Mo-mo. Not gonna leave a guy hanging like that, are you?" Carter asked my best friend who I was sure had immediately gone silent and beet red underneath that deep colored skin of hers.
Mo-mo? What did he think she was, a flying fucking lemur?
Before I could say anything to keep her from accepting the offer from the bully who often made our lives hell, Mori agreed to his offer for a date this weekend.
Was I in the Twilight Zone?
All of this occurred whilst Parker was staring dumbfounded at the scene unfolding in front of him.
What, he didn't think I would already be involved with someone? Was I just the poor, smart orphan to him who he would be doing a favor by paying some attention to?
All of a sudden, the landscape changed and the actual events of the day before morphed into something gruesome and grotesque, something out of a horror movie as Colton became deformed and dangerous.
His smile deepened until it resembled a circus clown's.
His teeth sharpened into knife points, serrated and jagged and dripping with blood, my blood, as he sunk his fangs into the skin of my neck.
I jolted awake with a harsh scream that jostled Colton who had been laying underneath my arm, hence why it had fallen asleep and was filled with pins and needles.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
His sleep-filled voice filled the silent air around us, gruff and groggy and something that I usually found to be sexy, but in the aftermath of the terrifying dream I'd had of him, it only made me shiver with disgust.
"Fine. Go back to sleep."
"I would but I can't go back to sleep once I wake up. You know why?"
I groaned internally, because yes, I did know exactly why.
Every single time Colton woke up, whether it was from a ten minute nap or full eight hour sleep, he always had a boner. Every time. And he always expected me to do something about it.
