The Custodian (Revised)

Chapter 4

Waking up to Conrad became addicting, with morning kisses and sleepy eyes.

I thought I had it made.

We fought with one another even more now that he knew it was the perfect way to make passes at me in the midst of my storms. He'd purposely provoke me, and as soon as I flip out, he'd hold both of my wrists up with one hand, and either pin the both of them up over my head against the wall, or in the bed.

Gosh that turned me on!

Some time had rolled by, and everything was going good up until Conrad couldn't control his jealousy. Kaos was no better because on Conrad became amped up, he'd dissolve from Kaos, to Chucky. We somehow managed to keep our little rendezvous away from our friends to prevent (the look) and unnecessary scenes, because knowing Conrad...

he didn't mind!

It all started at a party that Franki had which was shocking because she was barley allowed to do anything. Her parents happened to go away on an emergency trip, and for the first time ever, they trusted her with the house.

We all knew that either there would be secret cameras hidden somewhere, or the nosey neighbors would be paid to watch the house until her parents returned.

Obviously, none of us gave a shit, because all we cared about was having a good time!

Thus, we did. There were drinks and people galore. Lots of liquor and beer, and being underage seemed so inappropriately exciting. Though drinking wasn't my thing, I still had lots of fun.

That very night, I wore a navy blue skaters-dress, patterned stockings underneath, with some floral printed flat boots. My hair is wild, that it's in fact a signature look.

I almost never left the house without my gun which is always stuffed into my thigh-garter. I become obsessed with having it on me all the time all through middle school, for Leko taught me how to shoot because Lium just refused to.

I wasn't allowed to carry it inside of school of course. I wouldn't dare become that risky, not to mention, I wouldn't trust myself with a gun attached to me in school. My temper speaks volumes, so with a gun on me when I'm feeling provoked, I'd surely use it.

I never had to fight with anyone in school though.

So the party is pretty remarkable, and the music is loud which is my favorite part. Everyone's holding red and blue cups filled to the rim with alcohol...

All except for me.

Mine is overflowing with Apple-juice.
Clever yea?!

After about two hours, the party is lit! We all are dancing and laughing uncontrollably. Profanity is used at its best and I'm loving every second of it.

Then trouble began to creep through the crowd.

Paton!

"Oh God no!" I thought to myself. I quickly walked away from Tiff and Zandi to the kitchen counter. I needed a drink to calm my nerves, so I grabbed a smaller plastic cup, and poured some vodka in it, just enough for a shot.

As soon as I held the cup yo my mouth, Kaos appeared out of nowhere and snatched it away from me.

"What the entire fuck do you think you're doing?!" His voice is a bit slurred, and he's looking down at me in disgust. Gosh he's aggravating!

"Why aren't you partying Kaos? You don't have to monitor me." My tone is steady, and my eyes are scanning around for Conrad. Kaos takes my shot, and I roll my eyes and walk away.

As I'm heading for the stairway, Paton steps in front of me.
"Shy girl!" He says while grinning. I smile with a slight giggle while batting my lashes at him.
"Hey Paton." I don't know why I like talking to this guy, and for the record, I'm single! Conrad can't stop me from having associates!

We chat for a few minutes, then he walks back over to his crew of buddies.

Momentarily, I attempt to walk back over to my girls, and some douche grabs my ass, and when I turn around to spaz out, Conrad had already took this guy down.

There goes Kaos...

You've got to be shitting me... PATON !!!!!

Why the hell did he jump in???

These guys are destroying Franki's parents house, and my blood is boiling. I yell out to Conrad and Kaos repeatedly, and nobody seems to hear me nor care to. I take a deep breath and pull out my gun.

"ON THE COUNT OF THREE, I NEED EVERYONE TO GET OUT, OR I'LL SHOOT!"

I hold my gun into the air.

"ONE!"............
"TWO!"........ "Oh shit she's got a gun!" A voice screams out, and everyone starts running out of the front door.

I stuff the gun BACK into my thigh-garter, and I literally have to kick Kaos's leg to stop him from punching the guy along with Conrad. Then once I get to him, I grab him by his neck and use all of my strength to pull him back, and we both fall unto the floor. He quickly jumps back up to his feet and so do I. He's like a bull that sees red and I'm trying my fucking hardest to save this guy's life because right now, Conrad isn't thinking.

When he attempts to run at the guy again, I beat him to and run around him and stand in front of him with my arms out.

"ENOUGH CONRAD..... STOP!" I yell to the top of my lungs. His eyes are wild and his chest is moving up and down. He's furious!

He tells me to move, and I refuse. I've never experience this side of him, and for the first time since I've known him, I feel afraid. He's so angry, I can hear him grind his teeth together. I become frustrated, so I push him, slap him, and he grabs my face and places his forehead on mine.
"Kiss me.. please!" He pleaded , out of breath, and the anger is still boiling inside of him. I slide my arms around his neck, and connect my lips with his. He lifts me up while I grip the back of his shirt with one hand and the other o d holding the side of his face. I'm squeezing his mid-body with my thighs and I can feel his tempered energy dissolve slowly.

Once we broke the kiss, we were both panting with lust in our eyes while those who stayed inside of the house including our friends were starring at us with dumbfounded looks.

This is me experiencing absolute embarrassment!
Conrad didn't mind, he actually was glad that we weren't a secret anymore.

We weren't together.
I wasn't his girlfriend.
He was my best friend.

Then I thought, this is a mistake.
