No Respect

Chapter thirty

I would be lying if I said it wasn't awkward between Gus and I. Well it wasn't awkward at all, more weird kinda......? I don't know how to explain it. It wasn't like we just picked up where we left off; it was different.

He was always checking his phone and every time he did, he would get even more annoyed. If I asked if anything was wrong, Gus would just brush it off and leave the room. I could tell T knew something too but avoided me also; I was getting so fed up of being in the dark.

I miss the old Gus and Emily.

We were the definition of perfect and I felt like whatever negativity was going on in my head, Gus could help it just by being with me. I'm sure he felt the same way too and I hate that it's all gone now; we're acting like an old married couple who were getting sick of each other but didn't want to admit it.

The boys had gone out to the nearest corner store to get some snacks and whatnot when a knock on the bus door interrupted my thoughts. They can't be back that early...can they? I mean they only left 5 minuets ago.

It wasn't them.

"Who are you?"

"I could ask you the same thing"

"I asked first"

"I'm Em, Gus' girlfriend. You are?"

The girl had dirty blond hair that reached her hip, bright blue eyes and the sexiest figure I have ever seen on a woman. If she hadn't come across as a bitch and if I didn't love Gus as much as I did , I would have trouble restraining myself.

"That's funny because I'm Avery, Gus' girlfriend too"

"Since when?"

"Since five months ago"

"Well I don't know if he filled you in on the situation but we were on a break, now we're back together so run along"

"I don't think so hoe, he's my man. Peep belongs to me"

"I don't care who you think you are but Gustav is no ones property. No human is anyone's property, show him some goddam respect"

"Avery?"

The boys were back in town and they did not look very happy at Avery. The two guys who I didn't recognise yesterday, were some of Gus' producers and cool as hell. Smoke and Rick (smokeasac and lederrick) came over and stood slightly in front of me.

"You might want to leave Em, this crazy bitch might claw your eyes out"

"I can take her, I've beaten worse"

My attention fell back on Gus who looked like he was struggling to stay calm. Who was the bitch and why didn't they like her?.....apart from all the obvious reasons.

"Avery, you're a stripper Smoke hired for me five months ago to cheer me up, nothing else"

I turned to Smoke who took one look at me and ran straight to the back of the bus in fright. Damn right he should've.

"But baby, we have something. Just accept that I turn you on"

"The only thing you make me turn on is the 'block this number' feature because you haven't left me alone"

Jesus Christ, I couldn't be more proud of Gus right now. He just roasted a Bitch and she was over cooked. Way overcooked.

"Come on Peep, you know you love me"

"I only love three women. My ma, my grandma and my girl over there Em who from the looks of it is getting ready to rip your throat out"

"Oh please, what could that slut do other than give you an STD?"

That was it. This Avery Bitch was getting thrown in the trash. Literally.

From behind I picked her up with ease and threw her over my shoulder. I many be small but not too small that I couldn't kick her ass. Her pathetic attempts to hurt me was easily ignored as I dumped her in the massive trash can and locked the lid with a near by broom.

A little extreme but very necessary.

"You can calm down the bin men will let her out when they come tomorrow morning"

"You are hardcore Em, tell me why you and Gus broke up?"

"Oh Rick, that is a story for a different day"

/////////////////////////

"Babe? Can we talk?"

I paused my film and moved over so Gus could climb in my bunk; we weren't on sharing the same bed level yet. I'm thankful he was understanding when I said I wanted to grab my stuff instead of sharing his like he suggested.

We were sat side by side in awkward silence; this felt wrong. The awkwardness was wrong, whatever was separating us had to end. I fucking love him but something was keeping us apart and it was killing me.

"What did Avery say?"

"That she was your girlfriend. Don't worry I'm not mad, we were on a break"

"She was never my girlfriend Em, I could never move on from you. She's the reason I've been acting so cold towards you, I didn't want you to get comfortable and then find out about her because I thought that would destroy you"

Everything makes sense now, Gus never wanted it like this he just thought it was for the best so no one got hurt. Hopefully now we can be together fully with that clingy beast of a girl gone. I can't blame her though, Gus is amazing.

"I miss you Gustav"

"I miss you too Emily"

"I love you"

"And I love you"

"Wanna watch Paul Blart mall cop with me?"

"Fuck yes"

This is what a relationship with Gus is supposed to feel like and boy was I not going to let anyone change it.
