Cassidy Cade

Chapter 16

I'M THREE VIEWS AWAY FROM ONE THOUSAND!!!! I REALLY CAN'T WAIT😂😅😁

This act is getting scary, being involved with Dallas like this but... I kind of like it.

"Hey, Rolly." The class had just ended and there Dally is.

I shut my locker, "So what? You gonna give me a new nickname every day?" We've been doing this for almost three weeks.

He shrugged, "Looks like it," he said coolly.

I sighed with a small smile, "So what do you want?"

"We're going to Buck's tonight."

I scoffed, "Did you just command me?"

His eyes flickered with excitement but when back to cold, "Yeah, yeah I did."

I looked down and bit my lower lip with a smile, "Well, I think I need some convincing Winston." I looked back up and he looked intrigued by my words.

He leaned in and kissed me it was quick but also complicated and sexual. He pulled back, "You're getting good Cade." He said.

"I learned from the best. But one question"

He nodded, "I don't think I should, it's a bar. It's not legal for me to enter until I'm-"

"Doll-"

"Don't call me that!"

He grabbed me by my waist making our faces only an inch away, "You obey me."

He claims we're not a couple, I am just his. So when I see him slap a girls butt or something I don't care, I'm not supposed to.

His grip tightened," Yeah?"

I let a shaky breath," Yeah."

He let go," And besides" he added, " Underaged girls like Angela go all the time. "

I sighed, "Okay but I told Johnny is going to the drive-in."

He nodded, "We'll go to the drive-in, flip a few skirts, slash some tires then go to Buck's." He decided.

"Okay," I agreed. Not agreeing with the bad stuff, he'll do that. I'll just sit with Johnny and Pony.

Ever since Johnny saw me like this, he was so disappointed. He gave me the cold shoulder for almost a week. I wanted to cry out to him and explain why so badly! But Dally said if I don't take this role seriously it'll never work, so, I said nothing. But being the awesome soul he is he talked to me.

"Look Cass I don't know what's goin' on but I love you. You and me both know this isn't you and I know this act goes deeper. Maybe it's a girl thing? I don't know. The point is Cass I want to still have a good relationship with you so how about the movies on Sunday?"

I swallowed remembering the moment. He sees right through me.

I grabbed my books and walked towards the exit of the school. I saw Pony and Johnny but quickly redirected my eyes so they wouldn't know I saw them.

I haven't talked to Pony since I confessed to him in the hall. Every time we even make eye contact he and I quickly look away, but I don't blush. I can't. Not cool.

"Cassie!" I heard Johnny call. I sighed knowing Pony was probably right by him.

I turned, "Yep?"

"You still coming later?" Johnny asked.

"Only for a little, What's playing?"

"I don't know. Some beach movie." Pony kept his eyes down in my presence making the tension rise.

I looked back at the path in front of me trying to pretend not to notice... But Johnny did.

"What's wrong with you two?" He asked suddenly.

Putting on my emotional mask I shrugged," I don't know. Ask 'em."

Pony's face turned red," U-um I just haven't seen you around much Cass." He lied. " We need to catch up I guess."

" And that's why we're going to the drive-in!" Johnny butt in.

"Actually... I kind of have to leave early tonight."

He scrunched his brows," Why?"

" Dally's making me go to Buck's."

Johnny stopped," What did you just say? Making???"

My breath hitched in my throat," N-no I didn't mean making I meant I'm going with him."

Johnny shook his head," You're not going."

I scoffed,"What do you mean not going?"

"I don't know Cass I don't like you being with Dallas like this and its a bar. You're not allowed to be in there."

"Then how come I've already been!" I argued.

" That was with me."

"You're still too young Johnny! Only sixteen!"

" I didn't touch the alcohol! And I can't trust you to go into a bar acting like this without me and not drink!" That hurt. He can't trust me? Is that what he said?

" You could drink too much and get raped" he deadpanned.

I grew silent," Dally'd be there" I whisper.

Johnny shook his head," If our parents won't keep you safe I will." I felt humiliated. Pony was watching the whole thing the only thing that could make this more embarrassing is if I cried. So I won't but the only way to do that is...

" I hate you! I can go to a bar if I want because I can trust myself not to let anyone touch me!"

I began to stomp away but ran into a chest... Dally's chest. "What the matter Doll?"

I grumbled," I told you not to call me that."

" 'Dal are you taking Cassie to Bucks tonight?" Johnny asked.

" Yeah, sometime during the movie. It's a dumb one anyway."

Johnny perused his lips," I don't want her out passed nine o'clock and I want you to keep her eyes on her at all times, I swear if anything were to happen I'd-"

"You'd kill me just like how I'd kill the person that even looks at her, it's fine Johnnycakes I'll keep Casserole nice and safe" he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against him," Right next to me."
