BONNIE (BOOK 3)

Chapter 11

Luis Jones' POV

*Flasback to 9 years ago*

"Are you Luis?" A voice behind me says.

I turn around and look down to find a smallish looking girl staring at me.

She looks familiar.

"Do I know you?" I ask, taking a sip of my drink.

"Yeah I'm Jayla's friend, Luna?" she says with a giggle.

I roll my eyes when I realise she's flirting.

"Look, unless you're giving me information bout my girl, I'on want to hear it" I say with a growl.

We had a massive argument this morning.

She was concerned that I don't pay her enough attention.

That my mind is always elsewhere, but it is.

My mom is sick.

Really sick and I've been distant.

But Jayla doesn't need to know that. She's only worry and she's got PHQ to worry about.

"Actually, she just called. She's looking for you" she says.

She leans closer, because the 'music is too loud'.

I step back.

"Why ain't she call me then?" I ask suspiciousness laced in my tone.

Luna rolls her eyes.

"Some bout y'all fighting then her phone died" she says.

My shoulders slump.

Jayla told her we were arguing?

But that's our business...

Luna's face falls and she pouts.

Nah I don't believe her.

I grab my phone and call my girlfriend, and truly, it goes straight to voicemail.

"That bad, huh?" Luna asks.

I shrug.

I knock back the rest of my drink and slam the glass down on the table.

"How did you find me?" I ask.

"Jay, told me this is where you go to think sometimes" she responds.

I look down at my empty glass.

"You look like you need another one?" She asks.

I shrug again.

Is Jayla really ignoring me?

I'm snapped out of my daze, when a purple- orange looking drink is slid in front of me.

I look at Luna.

"The fuck is this?" I ask skeptically.

"It's called Sunset" she giggles, taking a sip of her own matching drink.

I shrug and put the drink to my lips, screwing my face up at the bitter taste.

"Coloured Russian vodka" she grins slightly.

I shudder, shaking it off.

She scoots closer to me.

I move back.

"Where did you say Jayla was again?" I ask, my voice slurring a little.

Why the fuck is it suddenly so hot in here?
