Return [15]

I sat with Faye and Melissa at the Java Brew. Faye wanted to come to fuck with Cassie and Melissa follows her everywhere. I just didn't have anything better to do.

I had on black, high waisted, ripped, skinny jeans with a crop top and a dark grey, oversized, denim jacket. My hair was in messy curls and I had natural makeup. The heels of the black booties I was wearing tapped lightly on the floor as I bounced my leg up and down.

I didn't bother to tune into Faye and Melissa's conversation. That was until I hear Faye shout to Cassie. "Waitress! Refill here." She called making me laugh.

"Oh come on, Faye. Get over it." Mel rolls her eyes.

"Get over what?" Melissa doesn't respond, only rolls her eyes at her best friend.

"Anyway. Lee is into you." She tells her friend.

"Lee? Date below my station? No. Total power mismatch." She looks up when someone walks in. I follow her line of sight and see Callum walking towards us.

"Speaking of slumming..." I trail off and roll my eyes.

Callum finally reaches our table. "Hey there." He smirks.

"Callum." Melissa smiles.

"Throwing a party at my place later. You ladies interested in making it even more awesome?"

"No thanks. We're just sticking to a coffee buzz these days." Faye says. I only nod and turn to Melissa.

"It might by fun." She smiles at us. "We'll think about it."

"Great. Text you my address." Callum says before turning and walking off. I look at him in disgust before turning to Melissa with the same face.

"He's not what you guys think." She defends. "He's actually an okay guy."

"Yeah? I bet you could get a two for one deal in rehab." Faye says.

☪️

We need your help. Meet at Lee's. Melissa went to Callum's party.

Once I saw the strange text from Faye, I waisted no time before jumping in my Jeep and racing to Lee's. I knew Axel was gonna be there and I wasn't looking forward to it. I've been ignoring him since Valentine's Day, not wanting to get back on Devil's Spirit. He tried calling and texting but I ghosted his ass.

When I got there, Faye and Diana were just walking towards the garage and I quickly run to catch up. Faye knocks and we make our way inside. Diana looks around and when I hear the door open, I turn and see Lee.

"Ladies." He shuts the door. "What a pleasant surprise. What, no kiss this time?" He questions Diana making me look at them strangely. It must have been from when I was fucked up on Devil's Spirit.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She responds.

"I can refresh your memory." He suggests.

"Put it away, Lee. This isn't a booty call. We're looking for Callum's address." Faye tells him, annoyed.

"Melissa's at his party and we're worried about her."

"You let her go to Callum's party by herself?" He questions like we were stupid.

I scoff. "Yes, daddy." I smirk. "Now give us the address and we'll be on our way."

He looks to all of us before turning to walk away. "What are you doing?" Diana asks making him turn to her.

"I'm going with you." He states.
