"So..." Taylor tapped her fingers in a lively rhythm on the table top and Roozhan just narrowed her eyes at her
"Tell me something, do I make you nervous Taylor ?"
"No, not at all Roozhan, I was just wondering when you were going to get to the point so I could get out of here and get in to Travis' pants"
"He was right about you, you are bold"
"Yeah well I'm a lot of thing, but right now I'm eager to leave so please...feel free to lecture me on whatever it is that's bothering you, question me, threaten me, anything you have planned, but please, get to the point, I don't know if you have noticed this but my boyfriend is super hot and he just left here without me, that's not putting me in a great mood"
Roozhan let out a low chuckle before stopping abruptly, "I'm glad you have such a low opinion of me when we have never even met before"
"Well you didn't keep me behind to tell me Fairytales did you?"
"No but that's because you aren't a baby Taylor, you know Fairytales aren't real"
Taylor clasped a hand to her chest and feigned distress
"I actually do have a reason for wanting to talk to you away from Travis and it's none of the ones you listed earlier"
"I'm listening"
"Jason"
Taylors face blanched and Roozhan didn't miss it
"I don't know what you mean"
"I know you like Travis, and I know you like to be the little live wire, but if Jason is doing anything you don't want to tell Travis about then I suggest you tell me... Now"
"He's just..."
"Don't tell me what he's like Taylor, I have known him since I was 5 years old, there's nothing you can tell me that I don't already know, now tell me what you haven't told Travis"
"I have told Travis everything"
Roozhan fixed her with a look that warned her not to lie and for the first time the older girl looked scary, like lying was enough to cause her to raise hell in the middle of the coffee shop so Taylor sighed and decided to trust this stranger with information she hadn't even shared with her best friend.
"He leaves flowers and poems in my locker every single day" Taylor dropped her eyes to the table and ran her finger around the rim of her coffee mug
"And how does that make you feel?" Roozhans dark eyes were trained in on Taylors light blue orbs
"Uncomfortable, like I can't breath, like I'm looking over my shoulder the whole time"
"Travis said he hurt you"
"He just gripped me too tight, it was nothing really, Trav just got upset"
"He shouldn't have had his hands on you in the first place Taylor, don't make excuses for him. He's gone somewhere with Karen but when he gets back I will deal with it"
"Roozhan..."
"Your hot boyfriend is probably waiting for you as we speak. Go. I'm telling you to go Taylor, ignore me and you will annoy me and you won't like me when I'm annoyed, believe me"
"Who said I liked you now?!" Taylor stuck out her tongue in a playful gesture and then slipped out of her seat and headed to find Travis, completely missing the small smile that tugged at Roozhans lips
"Good choice Kelce, great fuckin choice" she chuckled. She liked the little live wire and she would be damned if Jason was going to do anything else to hurt her.
********
Sitting in the passenger side of Naomi's car Travis felt his heart hammering in his chest.
He shouldn't be here, if Taylor found out she would cut his nuts off and feed them to her dogs but he was where he was, In the passenger seat of his ex-girlfriends car whilst she stared at him waiting on an answer he didn't know how to give
"You said as soon as things calmed down you would call me Trav, how come you never did?"
He didn't know how to tell her that before anything calmed at all he had met a blond that had flipped his whole world upside down and he was still trying to recover his footing.
The woman in front of him ran a hand through her red hair and fixed her turquoise eyes on him with a look somewhere between lust an annoyance.
She was older than him...
Considerably older, 10 years older to be exact and she had been his lecturer at college, their relationship had been a slow burn, lingering looks in the lecture hall followed by one on one tutoring sessions followed by one on one sex sessions.
She had been his alibi for the night he was supposed to have had sex with the girl too young to consent, she had given a statement and was going to stand up in court and risk her job to keep him out of jail, his mother had made sure that had never happened but he still felt as though he owed her for what she had been willing to do for him
"Well?" her sweet as honey voice trickled in to his thoughts and he become aware of her hand on his thigh
"I'm sorry, there's been a lot going on since I got back"
"To much to even send me a text message? Am I that easy to forget about?"
Her long pink nail trailed up and down his thigh and he hated the fact his body began to respond
"I'm a jerk, I'm sorry"
"Well you are such a good looking jerk you are easy to forgive" she whispered it into his ear and her hand moved to cup his crotch but just as it was about to make contact, his own hand shot out and caught her by the wrist, his gaze unable to meet hers, the car becoming smaller and smaller by the second.
"We can't..."
"We can" she pressed a kiss to his cheek, his hands refusing to release her wrist. His body heating but with what he wasn't sure "All I have to do is turn this key and you and I will be back at my hotel within 10 minutes"
He shook his head but his mouth refused to speak as Naomi shifted in her seat, her short skirt riding up slightly and flashing him a eyeful of her red lace panties. She watched his gaze linger on them and then smiled seductively
"If you are a very good boy I will let you take them off with your teeth"
Just as Travis was about the swallow down his shock and begin to speak, Naomi's mouth moved towards his, her red painted lips parting and her tongue gliding gently over the surface.
Contact was iminent but just as her breath hit his face a loud bang jolted them back in to reality, both of them spinning in their seats to where the noise had originated
There standing at the front of the car with her fist firmly against the paintwork was a blond haired girl with a look in her eyes that should have burned them both into dust.
Her face was red, her eyes were burning and with just one look Travis knew that all hell was about to break loose
