protecting her | ashtray

four;

so yeah, we got busted and were on house arrest for a week.

mom never knew about the fentanyl.

she thinks we were at lexi's all night and the next morning to afternoon and didn't tell her.

the only reason she believed us was because she made me take a drug test and nya peed for me.

i know it sucked for nya to be in trouble the first day she got here.

but after my mom finally let us back into the fucking world we've been hanging out at fez's house and the store.

i've noticed ashtray giving nya eyes, i think he has a crush on her.

nya told me she thinks he's hot but, i don't think she has any feelings for him.

but ash on the other hand is definitely down fucking bad. he doesn't show it, but by the way he looks at her, i can tell.

that was about a month ago, which brings us to now.

nya POV

"so you're telling me that you were ten years old when you got your tattoos?"

i was currently sitting in a chair in the freezers with my feet kicked up on the table, eating a lollipop. ashtray sat across from me, organizing stacks of money.

"yes," he sighs. he's clearly annoyed that i've been chilling in here for the pass ten minutes.

rue bought some pills and i bought so weed, and then she said she had to talk to fez about something important.

so now i'm sitting here bothering ashtray.

"and they're 100% real?" i ask.

"yes. are you just gonna sit there all pretty and ask stupid fucking questions." he puts down the money and looks me right in the eyes.

my brows hit my hairline.

"you think i'm pretty?" i smirk. his stone face drops for a second into a worried facial expression, but he quickly covers it up.

"that's not what i meant." he replies.

"so i'm ugly then?" i tilt my head at him, my lips tugging upward in amusement.

"no! uh, you're not ugly, you're...decent looking." his eyes look back down at the money as he picks it up, avoiding eye contact.

"gee, thanks." i say sarcastically. he rolls his eyes.

"ayo cuz let's dip!" rue yells to me.

"ight, bye ash." i stand up and walk to the door. he just nods his head.

when rue and i reach the house, we walk in the front door to find aunt leslie and a man sitting at the kitchen table.

what the fuck.

the two laugh and then look up as they hear us walk in.

"hey girls!" leslie chirps.

"uh, hey?" i say awkwardly.

rue walks to the kitchen and pours herself some cereal.

i follow her and pour myself some.

"girls this is rick, my boyfriend." leslie smiles, and sips her wine.

my brows hit my hairline and my eyes widen. i put my cereal bowl down.

"boyfriend? damn aunt les you still got it."

honestly, aunt leslie coulda done way better. rick is ugly and she coulda found a major dilf somewhere.

"so uh, your mom tells me that, you got a new best friend." so he speaks. rue swallows her cereal.

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"that, you know, you gotta new best friend." he smiles cheekily. it's the crooked teeth for me.

"you know what rick, why don't you go fuck yourself."

YES RUE.

i chuckle and eat a spoonful of cereal, looking anywhere but at aunt leslie and rick.

"how dare you speak to someone like that?" aunt leslie scolds.

"who? rick?" rue slurps her cereal. i laugh. aunt leslie gives me the mom look.

"don't be a smart ass!"

"did i offend you?" omg shut up rick nobody likes you.

"apologize right now." aunt leslie demands.

in retrospect that was a little cunty but, rick does suck and i was angry, for a lot of reasons.

"rick i sincerely apologize, for telling you to go fuck yourself. i smirk at my cereal. this conversation is mad funny.

"what i really meant to say is my mom can do better and i hate seeing you sit in the chair my dad sat at." amen rue.

"ain't that the truth," i add and rue and i walk back to her room with our cereal.

rick's fucking annoying.

we sit in silence eating our cereal, and thinking about the son of a bitch corrupting aunt leslie.

placing my empty bowl on rue's dresser, i look over at her.

"wanna smoke?" i ask.

"duh,"

we were about to climb out the window and head to fez's when gia walks in.

"hey-what are you guys doing?"

rue was halfway out the window and i was standing next to it. fuck.

"uhh, there was a uh...a snake! outside the window...and, uh, we're messing with it!" rue quickly makes up. gia crosses her arms.

"then why didn't you just go out the door?" gia raises her eyebrows. oh my god dude just leave us alone.

"it's more fun this way," i say.

gia rolls her eyes. bitch.

"whatever," she walks out.

i rush over and shut the door and lock it.

"oh, uh is it cool if i go hang out with jules and elliot?" rue asks.

"i thought we were gonna go to fez's?"

"yeah but i kinda wanna see them right now." the says.

"uh, okay. ima go to fez's anyways." i need some more trees i'm running out.
