Against All Odds (spin-off of The Three Queen Bees and Me)

Chapter 59- Threat

   Are you sure you are okay to drive?" I ask Dani for what seems like the millionth time.

She gives me a small smile reassuring me that she will be fine.

I watch her vehicle leave in until I couldn't see the back of her tail lights.

Making my way back to my bike I can't help thinking of my kiss with Dani. What a mess my life has turned into.

Pulling up my apartment I almost pass out right at the front door. I am exhausted and more exhaustion awaits me when I open up the apartment door.

To my surprise Fiona is in a robe fixing what smelt like grilled cheese sandwich.

Quietly as I can be I try to become annoyed ninja tip toeing physically and mentally away from her.

"Do you want a grilled cheese?" Fiona casually asks like she didn't just break up with me like an hour ago.

I cautiously tell her no thanks trying to make my way to the bedroom when she speaks up once again.

"I signed a stupid lease with my name on it. I'm stuck here for at least six months." Fiona explains making me run my neck in confusion.

I nod my head thinking there is no way in hell I was going to be able to live with her as my ex.

"Technically, I didn't sign any papers officially yet. I'm just going go pack my stuff." I explain making my way up the stairs to start packing.

That is until I feel Fiona's cold hand grasping my wrist stopping any movement of mine. I become frozen not really sure what reaction is the appropriate one in this moment.

I never had a serious relationship besides her and she broke up with me. I'm not playing victim I deserved being broken up with. I just don't understand where Fiona is coming from.

"You don't have any where else to go." Fiona states it in a way not a way to be rude, but just as an actual fact.

"I'll manage." I say gently placing my hand on hers to remove it only for me to once again freeze up.

Fiona seems to not want to remove her hand from my wrist as we both awkwardly look at one another. Neither of us wanting to back down from the other.

This girl is just too much. I didn't know any ex that wants to continue to live with their ex.

Silence feels the air as I open my mouth to speak but find myself at a lost for words.

Fiona realizing she still has a grasp of my wrist finally lets me go. Strangely enough I miss the touch of her skin on my own.

I don't think I'm going last living with her.

"Since this is a one bedroom and one bathroom apartment here is what I suggest." Fiona drones on explaining how she should get the bedroom considering.

Is this lady literally trying to guilt trip me?

I sigh not even wanting to pick this battle with her I just grab my thing from the bedroom and place it in the living room.

Placing my feet up on the couch Fiona tells me not to wait up for her.

I bet she's off to her so called fiancée kissing up to her daddy's ass. Annoyance begins to build up inside of me making me want to have a distraction of my own.

Grabbing my phone I text Karin asking him if he wants to hang out.

My phone goes off a couple minutes later saying he is free. I text him to meet me downtown at the mall.
