"Pick your poision." I look up into the bluish green eyes that stare at me and try to find the guy I could trust in them. His eyes bore into me and he raises an eyebrow, "Well?"
I look down at his hand and pick up a purple pill that looks like a smartie, only it has a unicorn on it, "Just this tonight."
He smirks and kisses the top of my head, "I'll be back in about an hour. I have a big run to make."
I frown at Caleb, "But you promised you wouldn't leave me alone."
He frowns down at me and stuffs his hands into his pockets, "Fine, go ahead and take your pill, by the time we get back you'll be in party mode anyway. I'll be right back."
I slide the pill onto my tongue and chew the pill up, hating the bitter taste as it hits my tastebuds but knowing it would hit me faster. I grin as Caleb comes in and he takes my hand pulling me up.
"Come on, we got to get goin' babe."
I sigh and lean into him, picking up my phone along the way, when I look up at him he's scrolling through his phone, "What's wrong?"
He looks down and shakes his head, "Nothin, just a guy I owe looking for his money. We have to stop there too."
I frown but keep walking with him. Once we're in the car he says, "You're going to have to come in with me, I'm not leaving you in the car alone this late at night."
"I know," I mumble slipping on my seatbelt.
If you cared about me at all you'd stop all of this.
By the time we hit up a few guys for payments I feel a wave of pleasure come over me. It feels like an ocean has rolled in. For a few minutes it's so intense I feel like throwing up. I grip the car door handle and Caleb gives me a grin.
We pull up to a small house and I get out with Caleb, his friend, Ronnie sees me as we get out and I hug him tightly.
He hugs me back and says, "Well babe, what did your boy Caleb give you tonight?"
I look back at Caleb and he shrugs, "She took some E, nothing special."
I giggle, "I feel so good Ronnie."
He picks me up and chuckles, "I love you when you're like this."
I pout, "You always love me."
He sets me on the hood of Calebs jeep and says, "True, now you sit here looking pretty while Caleb and I sort some business out."
"But I want to talk!" I chirp.
"Later tater tot."
I sigh and lay back on the hood, stretching my arms far above my head. A wonderful tingly feeling rushes over my whole body, causing me to wiggle as I get use to the warm rush. I stare off at Caleb and Ronnie, watching as Ronnie counts out the payment.
I then sigh and look up at the sky, out where we were I could see some of the stars the city tended to block out, but it wasn't enough.
I hear someone shout and look back over to the guys, Caleb was in Ronnie's face now, "You owe more than that!"
"You know I can't pay you yet Caleb. I'm good for the money by next Friday. I promise."
Caleb shoves at Ronnie and I'm up and off the hood before I can properly think, "Caleb! Stop it!"
Caleb looks down at me, "Get out of the way."
I frown at him and Ronnie pulls me back, "Back up tater tot."
Caleb takes a deep breath and says, "I have someone to pay tonight, if I don't have that money I'm dead meat."
Ronnie frowns, "Give 'em my number and tell 'em I'm good for the money. Wait, it's not the candy man is it?"
Caleb gulps and nods, "Yeah it is."
Ronnie raises his eyebrows and gives Caleb a concerned look, "How deep are you in?"
Caleb shrugs, "It's more than double of what you owe me."
I frown, "The candy man? Who's the candy man?"
"Someone no one wants to mess with," Ronnie says, he then looks back at Caleb, "Tell him I'm good for the money, you know I am, and if he wants, I'll pay interest out of pocket."
