Winslow
Most people left after the show ended, others stayed for some food, although all that was there is hotdogs and burgers.
I was walking around, helping with the cleaning of the space, when Everett reached me, "You still hungry?"
"Of course." I scoff.
"Guys hey! How was I?" Cassius approaches us and I smile at him,
"You were amazing! That thing you did with the fire ball? Wow." I laugh.
"Yeah man, totally stole the show." Everett says. Cassius comes closer and gives us a hug. Ready to leave he hesitates to ask,
"Uhm, have you maybe seen-"
"You might wanna check at the people helping with the chairs." I wink at him and he smiles, happiness all across his face. He basically runs there and I smile to myself.
"So uh -" Everett tries to speak but Maverick interrupts him this time,
"Heyyy you guysss."
"Are you drunk?" He asks his dad.
"Nooo just a little tipsy. I met this couple and we're going for drinks. You kids can go home."
"You're going for drinks already drunk?" Everett asks him and Maverick pats his son on the shoulder. Wow he's taller than his dad. Now that I see them this close I can spot the similarities. Their features look similar, except his nose and maybe his eye colour.
"I won't drink much. We're just going for fun I really like those guys."
"Be careful dad, please."
"Oh son, don't worry about me."
I totally feel like I do not belong here at all. I mean, I don't, but you get what I mean.
I step back, ready to leave when Maverick calls my name,
"Please take care of him while I'm gone, okay? Bye for now. Go home." He says before he leaves.
I smile at Everett who's annoyed by his drunk father and make my way to leave.
"Get in the car."
"What? With you? No thanks." I turn around.
"Why the hell not?" He walks next to me and leads us to the car.
"You'll crash us."
"If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so already, darling." He opens the door for me and I sit inside, with surprise.
Darling?
Oh god.
That did things to me.
The drive is quiet and when I think he's heading home, he pulls up to a pizzaria parking.
Aw.
Come oooon why is he so sweet today? It's impossible to hate him when he's like this. And if I don't hate him, I like him. And that's not good not good not good.
After eating, he pays for the food and we head to the car. "I'm getting really scared, Everett."
"Did you just say my name and not your stupid nickname?" He gets in the car and starts the machine.
"What the hell is wrong with you today? You're too sweet and it's starting to get scary." I lean back on the car seat.
"Don't get used to this, I fucking despise you."
"Oh well thank god we're on the same page." I roll my eyes and turn to the window to watch the night lights.
