Eventually everyone started to head home from the café. I was getting ready to walk with Rukia, when Grimmjow grabbed my hand and started pulling me to his car.

"Grimmjow, wait!" I didn't pull away from him, because I liked the way my hand felt in his... so instead I just lagged behind, trying to slow him down.

He turned his head to look at me, but didn't stop. "What?"

I huffed up at him. "I'm supposed to walk home with Rukia."

He frowned, finally stopping, but before he could say anything, Rangiku butted in.

"That's okay!" She squealed happily. "Gin and I can give her a ride."

Gin smiled endearingly at his girlfriend and shrugged his shoulders. "Of course we can."

Grimmjow tugged on my hand to get me to move again. "See? Problem solved."

I gave Rukia an apologetic look as Grimmjow opened the passenger door of his car and practically pushed me into it. She managed a smile as Rangiku dragged her over to Gin's pearly white luxury sedan. I buckled up quickly and grabbed my phone to text her.

TO RUKIA: I'm so sorry! I had no idea that Grimmjow and Rangiku were conspiring together! :/

FROM RUKIA: Yeah and I think that Gin is in on it, too! But it's okay. I'll see you when we get home.

And then a thought struck me...

TO RUKIA: OMG! Is Mr. Kuchiki gonna freak out when he sees you pulling into the driveway in a strange car?!

Mr. Kuchiki was horribly protective of Rukia... it was like she was his own little sister. Which, he and Mrs. Kuchiki had been raising her since their parents passed away... and that was before Rukia could even remember...

FROM RUKIA: Luckily, I'm pretty sure he's working late tonight... and my sister won't mind. She'll just be nosey about it.

I was typing my response when Grimmjow jerked my phone out of my hands. "Hey!" I yelled irritably, trying to reach for it.

He held the steering wheel with one hand while he shoved my phone into his pocket with the other. "Stop playing on your damn phone. It's rude."

"Are you kidding me?!" I spluttered, caught between anger and disbelief. "What's rude is dragging me away from my best friend and then pushing me into your car! And then taking my phone away from me when I'm trying to apologize for your rude ass behavior!" I was angrier than I could remember being in a while... I mean, I so rarely got angry at anything, that I was shocking even myself.

So, when Grimmjow actually turned from the road to gape at me, I kind of felt embarrassed for my outburst. That was, until he started laughing... "Damn!" He shouted through his laughs. "You're even cute when you're mad!"

His reaction to my poor behavior caught me off guard, so I crossed my arms and looked out of my window, slumping down into my seat as I pouted. Yes, I was acting childish... but he was treating me like a child, so... why not?

He kept laughing for a while. And when he finally calmed down, he placed a hand on my leg. "Damn, babe... you are just so fucking adorable."

I let out a huff, puffing out my cheeks to show that I was not happy with the situation.
