Witness [12]

I sat with Faye in Lee's garage. I was sitting on Axel's lap, his choice, and listening to Faye speak. I currently wore a sheer black top that said 'Baby' on the front that was tucked into a short, black leather skirt and black ankle heels. My hair was in its natural waves and I had natural makeup.

"After what happened last night, you trying to syphon magic from the circle, I don't know why I'm here." Faye tells Lee. I internally agree.

"Maybe because your circle skanks don't want you back." He tells her.

"Hey, Dickhead." I snap at him. "Not everyone left her." I state annoyed. "And I'm not a skank." He nods, unconvinced.

"Because there are other ways to get your magic back." He continues, ignoring my comment.

"So you keep saying." Faye says rather annoyed. I stand from Axel's lap when we hear the sound of footsteps and turn to the door, watching as some dude with longish dark hair walks in.

"Hey, Lee." The guy says. "Axel." He nods at him. "Didn't know you had clients." He states, looking Faye and I up and down.

"Please." I scoff. "Definitely not clients."

"Friends." He states, raising his brows. "Introduce me."

I look at Lee to see him swallow hard and turn to Axel. He smirks at me slightly. "Faye, Aria, this is Callum." Lee said, annoyed. "What do you want?"

"Faye." He hums and turns to me. I feel Axel place a hand on my waist and pulls me to his chest. "Aria." I see his eyes move down to where Axel put his hand and he raises a brow in surprise. "Beautiful names. I'm surprised he even remembers mine. Bitch won't return my calls."

"I've been busy." Lee says. I turn to Axel and place my mouth next to his ear.

"Who is this guy?" I whisper quietly, making sure no one could hear me.

He returns the whisper. "An old friend of Lee's." I raise my brows, wanting to know more. "They had a falling out." He shrugs.

I turn back when Callum walks over to Faye. "Can't wait to get to know you better." He says suggestively.

"Not gonna happen, Asswipe. Now back away from her before I break your hand." I feign a gasp. "Then you wouldn't be able to have fun late at night, in your bedroom... by yourself." I smirk. He turns to me darkly.

"Watch your mouth, sweetheart." He looks to Axel. "Keep your girl in check."

"Not his girl." I growl quietly.

After a few minutes, Callum gets a phone call and takes it, speaking quietly while walking around. I turn in Axel's arms.

"Your brother was friends with that?" I question in disgust.

"Well... they met because of me." He says.

"You're friends with that piece of shit?" I question dully.

"Yeah. Dealing buddies." He smirks.

"What kind of drugs?" I question, officially interested.

Callum speaks before Axel could respond. "Are you two gonna get me what I need or what?"

"You know I don't deal anymore." Lee says.

"But your brother does." He points at Axel.

"You're drug dealers?" Faye questions.

"Was." Lee states for himself. Faye turns to me but I only shrug.

"I was too." All the guys turn to me. Faye raises a brow. "You really think Nick could pull off dealing without getting caught by himself?" I scoff. "I was the brains."
