Used (Flamingeos fanfiction)

Chapter 20

My eyes flash open in a second. Looking up, I see Jean in the car, starting it up and clicking his seatbelt.

A soft groan makes its way past my parted lips as I prop myself up on the black leather seat with my elbow.

"What are you doing? Where's Geo?"

"He's still out here. Intoxicated. They wanted some munchies and guess who has to go get them." He points at himself before I can even respond.

"Well, are you?" I ask, referring to the amount of alcohol he consumed.

"Am I what? Intoxicated?"

I nod to his obvious question.

"Maybe a little."

"Then I don't think you should drive." I state in a stern tone.

His shoulders rise up for a quick second then back down.

"Nah I'm good. I only had two bottles."

"Two bottles?!"

"Well, and a half."

"A half?!"

"It's not biggie." He says bluntly before placing his hand on the gear stick and ramming it to drive.

My voice screeches as I yell out "Jean!" and quickly place my hand on top of his , attempting to stop him.

His laugh echoes throughout the car and I immediately punch him in the arm, "That's not funny you asshole." But still, I chuckle to myself at how extra I might've looked.

"Nah but if you don't want to tag along, Geo's right there."

I look at Geo chucking down the rest of his beer with no care in the world before rejecting Jean's offer. Geo is the last person I want to be with right now. Or ever.

Leaning back in the seat, I grab the seatbelt and buckle it.

"Suit yourself." He shrugs as he pulls out of the drive way.

The first few minutes of the ride are actually quiet. I lower the window and look out, resting my head on my arms.

My eyes scan the sky and count the stars. Well, as many as I can find. The soft yellow, orange and purple ombré sky makes it hard to do so, but I still try.

I let any left out hair flow freely in the wind as I take in the fresh air. There are rare moments where I just embrace nature and for some reason, this is one of those moments.

"Enjoying yourself?" Jean asks.

Turning myself around, I nod. "I just needed to get away..."

"From Geo." He finishes.

I catch my bottom lip between my teeth, not wanting to answer. He sits back in his seat and looks my way. I watch as he lets one of his hands off the wheel, leaving him driving one handed.

"What's up with that?"

"Nothing."

He kisses his teeth, a sign that he can sense bullshit. He's not wrong though.

"It's nothing." I assure him while tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Mhm."

To make things less awkward, I turn up the volume of the radio and let the Redbone by childish gambino blast out loud.

I then lean back in my seat and let my head bob to the music. Looking back at him, I catch Jean lightly tapping on the steering wheel with his thumb.

We pass a the gas station and take a left into the 7/11 parking lot.

"Get whatever you want." Jean says before stopping the car.

I shake my head, "I don't want to spend your money." I think that's the best thing not to do. Especially since I don't really know him.

Jean steps out the car and closes the door behind him. I follow his lead.

"Everyone else is so you minus well." He walks ahead of me and I follow him into the store. Until I think of something better to do.

"Hey!" I call out.

He stops in his tracks and turn around.

I lift my arms up in the air," Wanna go to the beach instead?"

"The beach? To do what?"

"I don't know. Chill?" I say in a sarcastic tone.

He responds with a side smirk, "I have to bring them the snacks."

"Screw the snacks. They won't even notice if their drunk right? We're both obviously not having fun there and, to be honest, I don't want to go back. Plus, we all know Geo's not going to drop me home anytime soon."

"You want to go home."

"No I want to go to the beach and chill with you."

He catches his lip with his teeth. A sign that he's actually thinking about it.

The feeling of excitement washes over me and I can't help but to squeal a little bit, "Let's go to the beach?"

"Let's go to the beach." He gives in.

I squeal one more time before heading back to the car.
