Daggers of love

chapter 41

Marcus sat down next to me. ok maybe not sat down, more like angrily slouched next to me. he had a look of pure hatred on his face, I'm assuming he had a hard time with the bar tender. He looked defeated, embarrassed; it probably didn't help that everyone was laughing at him... me included.

"I'd offer to help," Saya started, "but I know you prefer to score for yourself." I giggle at this, looking over at Marcus's adorably mad face. He looks back at me before looking back at the bar, quickly grabbing my hand. I he squeezes, clearly tense as all hell. I squeeze back, causing him to move his gaze back to me.

"Hey, you ok?" I ask, something else seemed to be bothering you.

"The bar guy sent me back with a message." He states, fury appearing in his eyes once again.

"Oh?" I question back, raising an eyebrow.

"He said to tell my girlfriend, that she has a nice ass." I angrily laugh at this, not even noticing maria try to speak, getting interrupted by Marcus. "I played along, telling him your mine, and that It would be smart to stop harassing you before we both kill him." My eyes widen.

"You said what now?" I watch as Marcus tries to answer my question, his cheeks red. But sadly, I didn't get to hear whatever he was going to say, because he didn't get to say anything.

"Hey, hey," a hippy with a red bandana covering his forehead spoke, popping into the conversation. His round glasses where cool, but his choice of clothing wasn't, not to mention the smell. Honestly has he ever washed that pair of overalls? "I heard you kind folks are looking for some doses." Are those dreadlocks? "I got some real good windowpane blotter for you my little sun stars, that'll get you centered, so you can experience this harmonious trip on starship earth."

We all look at Marcus, Saya and maria seeming way more excited that me and willie. Marcus just shakes his head. "Get out of here with your bunk drugs, jelly hippy." Damn, expected but damn.

"Wow. You need to chill way out, man." The hippy continues, maria and Saya nodding in agreement, clearly high as fuck. "This stuff is good. Its real, um, visual." He stares into space, oh, he's high too. "Hey," he starts up, yet again, placing something down on the table. "I've got 10 and a half hits right here. so, you try them out. And if you like them, I'll come back, and maybe you can buy some."

"I'm sorry, 10 and a half?" I question, looking up at the hippy with confusion.

"I had the other half before I got here." he smiled at me, "it's kinda like being drunk on weed with hallucinations." I raise my brow, turning to Marcus, seeing what his next move is. Saya and maria get right into it, each tearing off a sheet, plopping it into their mouths. Saya offers some to willie and i.

"Nah, I'm good." Willie states.

"The most I would do is a half, but I'm fine without that too—" before I could even finish speaking, maria and Saya lunged forward, shoving the acid into our mouths. Saya shoved a full dose into willies' mouth while maria shoved the half dose into mine. The sheet dissolved immediately, there was no way I could have spat it out in time.

"Too late!" Saya yelled, a cheerful smile on her face.

"Come on, man." Willie complained, shocked horror gracing his features.

"Great," I start, throwing my arms up in the air, "that's twice today I've been drugged." At least I didn't get a full dose, shows maria respects me just a little bit.

"No worries, guys." I hear Marcus start, grabbing the rest of the acid. "we've already been burned once today. Fuck your sham drugs man." And with that, Marcus put the rest of the acid in his mouth.
