"WHAT THE HELL do you think you're doing?" i ask him.
"driving you home? you have a problem, you can walk."
"or i can go home as planned with kailey and sierra? they were fine driving me."
"relax millie, i'm not kidnapping you"
"i don't want you to know where i live"
he laughs and looks at me as if i'm kidding, i'm not.
"get into the car" he sighs
i huff and do as he says but examine the car before getting in. he had a black porsche with black interior."address?" he asks
"149 kings street"
"oh so you're rich?" he asks
"you're the one driving the porsche..."
"you say that like you didn't get into a benz lastnight" he laughs.
"why are you driving me home? don't you have an aunt to get home to or something."
"that was bullshit, i just didn't want to go out with everyone" he says. what is wrong with him?
"yeah, and this is so much better?"
he ignores my question and we stay quiet for a few minutes."you enjoy the game?" he asks quickly changing the subject
"no, most interesting part was when i thought you were going to get your shit rocked."
"well, at least i know you're watching me"
i scoff and turn my head towards the window.
"you are so full of yourself" i tell him.
he looks at me for a few seconds before turning his head back to the road slightly smiling."so why couldn't you go out with everyone?" he asks
"like i said, my brother is home and we haven't had a lot of time to talk" i tell him,
"what is he like twelve or something?"
"twenty one"
"what's there to talk about? taxes and the economy?"
"i just didn't want to go out, okay?"
"sure. how's your new friend madison"
"you seem to know her a lot better than i do, she wouldn't shut up about you"
"can you blame her? anyway you shouldn't be friends with her, she's not a good person. can't have someone like that rubbing off on you"
"seems fine to me, plus didn't you hook up with her last night or something?"
"trust me, you were the only one i was thinking about lastnight"
"well stop, i'm not into you. get over this little crush thing you have, it's not gonna happen. ever." i snap"so why'd you kiss me"
"i didn't, you were drunk. now you're confused" i shrug
"i was not drunk, and i would remember if you kissed me"
"we'll i didn't, so somethings not adding up"
"you're funny millie, you know that?"
"i do actuall "
this drive could not possibly be taking longer."you sure you don't wanna grab food, i can stop somewhere" he offers as we pull into the driveway
"all set"
"alright. i'll see you around."
"thank you for driving me" i say as i start to get out of the car.
"no problem."
