The Poison Of Your Love (Sweet Pea love story)

2.Pick N Poke

I pushed over closer to FP when I saw Tall boy coming off a bus.
I made sure our thighs were touching. I pulled my jacket over my lap and guided Fp's hand to my inner thigh.
He made circles with his thumb and started tapping the steering wheel with his other hand.

When Tall boy got into the truck, he gave us both a second look but just got in and starting talking about the weather.

I smiled politely but didn't understand a word he said. My brain was short circuiting from the tension growing between FP's hand and my thigh.

But poking fun is the objective here not full fun.
I put my hand over his and held his hand still. And waited till we got back to the Whyte Wyrm.

When FP shutoff the truck I pulled my jacket back on and fell into step with FP. Tall boy a few steps ahead of us.

"You were right" I said plainly

"About?"-FP

"Being shy. I was drinking whiskey before I came. And I was baffled when you knew."-Me

"Oh....well I'm familiar with it. But you don't have to be shy around us."-FP

"I was talking about the Serpents"-Me

FP stopped walking and looked at me.

"🎉🎉🎉SURPRISE!!!! 🎉🎉"

Tall boy walked inside of what looked empty and was now a party.

I continued up the stairs after him,not waiting for FP to respond.

They crowded around Tall boy and cheered. I felt a little too out of place. So I went to the back of the crowd and watched from afar.

They brought out a cake and sang happy birthday to him. I walked to the bar and made myself a drink, since the bartender was lost in crowd.

I sipped on my whiskey on rocks. The burn was satisfying. I turned around and found myself faced with Sweet Pea.

He was speechless and so was I.

"Wanna drink?"-Me

"Punch"-Sweet Pea

"Coming straight up"-Me

I quickly turned away and started making his drink.

"Mikayla are you alright?"-Sweet Pea

*I came out my zone*

"Yea I'm fine just the alcohol is a little stronger than usual." -I awkwardly laughed.

I turned back around and handed him his freshly made drink.

He tried to smile but failed

"Sweet Pea please don't say anything. Your right. We can't work but I hope friends isn't out of the question? Deal?"-Me

I held up my glass hoping he wouldn't leave me hanging.

"Deal"-He said as we clinked glasses.

I smiled and drank the rest of my whiskey.

I exited the bar and leaned against a pillar and looked for FP in the crowd.

Instead came face to face to a bright blue eyed boy.

"I'm Jouquin"-He said very low

"Cool. I'm—-my—-names—uh—-Mikayla."-I stuttered

He smiled and shook his head. I did the same.

"If you see Toni can you tell her I went home." -Me

I didn't wait for his answer. I just turned and walked out the doors.

I walked down the stairs. But turned left instead of right. I reached into my pocket to find my pack.

"Mikayla!"

I spun around to see Fangs jogging towards me.

"Wussup"-I said coolly

"Why are you leaving?"-Fangs

"I just kinda not feeling it tonight. I have no one to talk to. And I already met Jouquin. So I think I got what I came for"- Me

"Mikayla please come back inside"-Fangs

"Fangs...I don't belong here." -I said with truth

"Mikayla...you could"- Fangs

I stopped mid thought and came back to earth.

"What do you mean?"- Me

"You could belong with us Yenno. You just have to trust us and get to know us. Mikayla" -Fangs

I felt my throat tighten and my eyes threaten to water.
That's when I realized. I'm trying to hurt the one family I even let into my life.
And family look out for eachother not play with their heads and turn them against each other.

"I'm sorry. But I don't even trust myself" -me

I turned away from him hastily and speed walked toward the south side liquor store.

When I got there, I laughed.

This was easy because whoever wants me more will come through that door and try to talk to me.

Just like clockwork, Sweet Pea walked in.
