Fraternizing with the Enemy

5.

THE SUN WAS SHINING into my eyes, forcing me to open my them and shield my precious pretty eyes.

The events of last night come rolling in and I sigh. Why did I have to think about it.
He was probably drunk out of his mind whenever he was talking to me.

I got out of my bed and made my way to my sisters.

I opened it to see all three girls up and alive.

"Good to know you guys are still alive" I joked.

"Haha, not funny" Harley said giving me a look.

I sat down on the bed and talked about the night with them.
I didn't mention what Kane had said because I knew they would take it a different way.

After about 30 minutes I decided that I was tired of smelling like alcohol and sweat so I hoped into the shower.
I took a nice long hot shower. I kind of just stood there for most of the time.

I shaved and got out. Once I got done I studied myself in the mirror.

Me and Harley looked similar. We had the same nose, the same nice lips, the same eye shape. We even had the same dimples.
It was comforting knowing that my sister shared the same features that I love on myself.
I'm not sure why it was comforting but it was.

I got dressed into some comfy clothes and decided to do some baking.

I pulled my wet hair up into a pony and flipped through a cook book.
I finally landed on a recipe for strawberry short-cake.
I've made it about a hundred times before but it was just so freaking good.

After a little while I was done and I popped it into the oven.

"I really lucked out of the whole sister thing. You cook like a mother fucker" Harley smiled.

She just got back from taking the two girls home.

"So did you think I was dumb? I know something happened between you and Kane" She said sliding into the barstool.

"Uh what? Nothing happened" I said while sweeping.

"I saw him peel the dude off of you and then it looked like you guys were arguing. Then you smiled and he walked off all pissed off. So something happened" She said holding her head in her hands.

So I filled her in. I left out the part where whenever we got home all I could think about was his words.

"Oh he so likes you" She giggled.

"Yeah no. He is my mortal enemy" I said hoping up on the counter and sitting down.

"And why is he your mortal enemy again?" Her smile was from ear to ear at this point.

"Because he's a jerk face who just uses girls. He thinks he's all high and mighty because he can shoot three's like no other" I scoffed.

"Oh you so like him" She once again giggled.

"I'm going to kill you" I said launching off the counter and running after her.

I hopped into my car and headed for the shopping center. I've blown through every book in my house twice and if I have to read the same
book again I will go crazy.
So I walk into the book store that I've grown to love.
I head straight for romance.

I'm a sucker for romance books. I mean who wouldn't be?
Dreaming of having a love story like that, it makes me happy.

I browse through the books and land on a couple I like.

I pay and make my way back to my car, but not before completely biffing it.

Stupid concrete.

I hit the floor and landed straight on my stomach.

"Graceful"

Why is this man everywhere I fucking go?

"For a second I thought you were god, but it's really just the devil" I sighed and pushed myself off the floor.
I started brushing the dirt off of my shirt. It was such a cute shirt, it was white too.
Pitiful.

"Here" Kane said handing me the books I had in my hand.
"You nerd"
And there it was. For a second I thought he was being nice.

"Thanks" I mumbled.

"So how'd you get the car? Daddy pay for it?" He snickered.

"Actually no. I paid for it. Not that it's any of your business" I said sitting on the hood of my car facing him.

"Well how did you manage to pay for a car like this. I mean my dad would have paid a lot for something this clean" He said while eying the car.

"Woah, take her out to dinner first" I joked, "My grandparents own a junkyard, I found it and fixed it up." I said popping the 'p'.

"You? You fixed it up?" He seemed genuinely surprised.

"Yeah? My sister fixed up her bug too" I folded my arms.

"Huh, I didn't take you guys for mechanics" He said with a little laugh.

"Well we are, and pretty badass ones too. We help my grandpa fix up old pieces of junk. I actually have a truck i'm fixing up right now" I said pulling out my phone.

This was the first encounter that I've had with Kane that didn't make me want to shoot my brains out.

I showed him the pictures of the 84' K10 Chevy Square body.

"Damn that's pretty badass!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah once it's all fixed up, I'm going to paint it a royal blue" I said smiling.

"You are full of mysteries Bryant" He smiled and started walking away.

I laughed and slid into the car.

I made my way home and started on one of the books.
It was enemies to lovers.
Not my favorite but still good enough to read.
