Thirst; Paxton Hall

eighty-six

"You okay Mercedes?" Beto had whispered to me.

I smirked, "No." He giggled." I looked up to see Paxton smiling at me with a smirk. "I'm sorry i can't ruin our night Beto."

He laughed. "Go beat his ass Mercedes."

"Will you help me?" I smiled.

"What's the plan."

-

We got up, after couples night was over because we didn't want to be rude to the other couples. "You done eating?" He nodded. "Awesome."

I got up, and walked over to there table where they were still eating and giggling. I got up and stormed over there making it looked like i was pissed off. I got over it truthfully but this was just something to have fun with.

"WHAT THE FUCK PAXTON" I screamed as walking up to him. "You're cheating on me? No wondering why you didn't show up for our 5 year anniversary dinner." Everyone was looking, which was the plan.

"Mercedes? I have no clue what you're talking about."

"ANEESA?" Beto came flying around the corner. "This is why you didn't show up to my grandma's funeral? You were here with this guy? That is pathetic." People are gasping the waitress and waiters were watching from a distance.

"I don't even know you?" They said with there shaky voices knowing they were doing nothing wrong. But this was just fun.

"Grandma would be so disappointed in you. She adored you."

"THATS REALLY FUCKED UP LADY." someone yelled from a distance. I giggled. and Beto had a smirk coming.

"Paxton. Aneesa. Whatever the hell your name is. Have fun fucking someone who gave me an STD." I whispered to them. Paxton's face was in aw and scared.

Beto and I then split and went outside laughing. "I think that was a lovely way to end the night don't you think?" Beto said and i giggled.

"I agree. It was fun."

"Mercedes." We were standing outside of the restaurant in front of his car. He said my name then pulled me into a hug. "I hope everything works out for you. You need someone good."

i hugged him back. "You deserve someone who will treat you the way you treat people, you deserve someone amazing."

We stopped hugging and he smiled. "I'll always love you Sadie."

"I'll always love you too Beto. Every way possible."

"Shall we head out? I can drop you off at home." I nodded and he went to my side of the car to open the door for me.

"Mercedes. What the fuck." I heard a voice come from behind me. It was Paxton.

I giggled, and turned out. "Beto, if you don't wanna stay you can leave. I can call you if I need something and you have my number if you need me."

"I want to stay. But i do need to go. How are you gonna get home?" I nodded and he gave me another hug and kissed me on the cheek.

"I can walk. It's not awfully far." He nodded, and got into his car and drove away.

"What Paxton."

"You know what."

I stood there with a blank stare. "I don't know what." I looked around to find the other girl, and didn't see her. "Where's the whore."

He did a 'did you really say that' look and shook his head. "Sorry. Aneesa is her name." I looked at him up and down and he had a black buttoned up shirt that was unbuttoned s few at the top.

"You look nice." I said to throw him off.

"It was a nice date." I rolled my eyes. "She's in the bathroom."

"Why are you talking to me."

"I mean i was pretty pisses off at you. Still am. Why would you embarrass me in the restaurant. I'm sure there were people we knew in there." I laughed.

"I didn't care. Embarrassed you? I'm glad it worked." I winked at him, and he rolled his eyes.

We both just sat there and stood at each other up and down. I wanted to punch him but at the same time i wanted to shove him into the back seat and....

"I wanna be mad at you." I broke the silence between us.

"Same."

"I can't stay mad at you tho."

"Me either."

"Really you don't have a reason to be mad at me tho. Other than what just happened." He sighed.

We stood there again staring at each other, and he slowly inched his way toward me.

"Button your shirt up, it looks like you threw it on and walked out in a rush."

"I did."

I smacked him then giggled. Then i realized i giggled.

"Fuck you." I looked at him right in the eyes, and he wasn't taking his eyes off of me looking down at my lips and up.

"Get the FUCK off my man." I heard the annoying voice of an angel come around and get louder.

Then I saw a swing, but managed to catch her hand at the wrist. I yanked her hand away from me and threw her to the ground.

"Don't fucking touch me." I turned and hovered over her. "I don't want to fight you."

"I'm going home."

As i was walking away i saw Paxton walk away from Aneesa on the ground and hop into his jeep, and she threw herself up off the ground and stomped into his jeep.

I turned around the corner and lost sight of them. Beto and I were finally at the 'end' him and i are best friends but we were only making things more complicated by being close, and i am obviously not over big dickhead. Yeah i said big.

-

I was maybe two blocks away from my house when i got a phone call. It was Paxton. Who i thought i blocked... maybe i didn't.

I answered.

Paxton: Get in the car.

Then the beep of the phone ending occurred.

I turned around and saw a flickered of lights

don't get in the car Mercedes

So i got into the car.

Aneesa wasn't there.

I got in the passenger seat. His foot was on the brake to change the gear. He looked me. I looked at him. He began to drive.

We didn't speak. I could feel the tension in the car tho. I couldn't help it. I was yelling at him days ago now i'm in it again

I unbuckled my seat belt and leaned over to his neck.

"Pull the car over."
