Soul

She doesn't make me stop once. If anythin' her arms tighten around me, like she doesn't want this to end either. It makes me wonder if she was really into Hacker in the first place. If he hadn't been sleepin' around and lyin' would she 'av become his?

I haven't hidden my feelin's for her, I've just been an asshole about it. OK, maybe I did, but only for obvious reasons. And I'm gonna tell her as soon as I figure out a way around it.

We pull up outside the club, and I cut the ignition, puttin' the stand on. I don't tell her to get off because I don't want her to, but she sighs, long and deep, before she climbs off.

Lookin' at her, I think about the fact it wouldn't have 'appened if I'd have listened to Celine in the first place and just fought for her. I'm such a fuckin' idiot! That's one thing Hacker has over me. He fought to see her, and I didn't. But no more. I'll prove myself worthy to Gus somehow.

She takes the helmet off, and her hair is a knotted mess. I want to brush it out with my fingers, but I refrain. I don't want to get her hopes up or mine if I can't figure this out. But she's standin' there starin' at me, I take my helmet off quickly and hang it on the handle. Plus, she's just broken up with him, at least I fuckin' hope so, and it might be a little too soon to pounce-

What the fuck!?

I turn back to her, and she's gone. I climb off the bike and head inside, findin' her lookin' down as Katy-ann and Sarra fuss over her.

"Tiny? What-"

"Thank you. For coming ta get me." She says, peeking up when she hears me come through the doors. Which has Sarra turning to me and giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Why does she look so dejected?

"I knew ya was a softie. Me 'n' Katy-ann will look after 'er now." I'm only half payin' attention to her, as I watch Tiny look anywhere but in my direction. What the fuck did I do? Or is this because of Hacker? "Prez was lookin' for ya, by the way...Soul... Soul!"

"Ah'ite!" I snap when it's clear she won't look at me.

"I need ta go see mum quick." I catch Tinys' words to Katy-ann.

"Ah'ite, me 'n' Blaze will take ya ova, come on." Her eyes finally flicker back up to me as she walks past, but when they land on Sarra, who still has her arm around me, that dejected look appears again, and she looks at the floor. I'm missin' somethin' here, I just can't figure out what the fuck it is.

"I got 'er." Blaze tells me as he walks past. I don't fuckin' like it. She's mine, and I don't want to leave her in the hands of anyone. "You 'ave my word. Go see Prez, 'e's in the green room." Givin' me his word he will protect her with his life. He knows what she means to me for real now and won't let me down.

"I like 'er, by the way." Sarra comments once they're out the door.

"What? Who?" I ask like I ain't got a clue what she's talkin' about.

"Kyara. Or should I say Tiny. Since when do you give a woman a cute little nickname? Ya must like 'er. I think she's great. She's obviously 'ad some shit 'appen, but... Right, ya gotta go see Prez, I'm just sayin' I approve." She smirks.

"I don't need ya approval, Sar. But thanks. 'N' don't get ya 'opes up right now. Nuffin' can 'appen, but I'm workin' on it. So keep it ta yaself. Don't go sayin' anythin' to 'er or Katy-ann till I know what's what. Ya hear me?" I tell her. She crosses her heart with her fingers, a goofy grin on her face. Like she's always done since she was little.

"I promise. But I wanna know everythin'. Movie tanight, and you're crashin' there too." She tells me. I roll my eye's. It's the last place I wanna be right now, but I did promise.
