"And then the criminal was like, 'No, I don't want a lawyer. I want to represent myself.' I had to tell him, 'Buddy. You're dumb as fuck, and if you think you can get out of this alone, then you're straight up delusional too,'" Xav says.
I laugh even harder, clutching my sides and trying to get my face to finally relax. "Stop, please, I beg you. No more, you made me laugh, and my sides and lungs can't take it. You’ve completed your dare," I cough out.
Xav puts his hand on my shoulder and laughs along with me, or maybe at me. I can't really tell the difference anymore. Not that it matters either way; his laugh is rich and full like a good dark chocolate. I'd listen to him laugh all day.
"Sir," his driver interrupts, "we are five minutes out."
"Thank you, Stephens," Xav acknowledges.
"That half hour flew by way too freaking fast. Who knew the Chief of Police was such a dork?" I joke.
"Watch it, Firecracker, I know where you're ticklish now."
"You wouldn't."
"Oh, I would, gladly and with great gusto." He grins, hands reaching for me.
"No! I already have to pee and don't know how to do that in this huge dress. I'd rather try to use a toilet than ruin the dress." I scoot back, up against the door of the limo to escape his dancing fingers. "Don't ruin our Truth or Dare game by using that knowledge for evil," I shout
Xav drops his fingers. "Deal- on one condition."
"Oh? What is it?"
"We play the rest of the night."
My face is expressive, I'll admit it, and what he reads must be exactly what I'm feeling - this is gonna be a bad idea.
"It'll be fun, liven up a dead party for us. Trust me, it's all shaking hands and playing into the whims of the rich."
"If you're sure this would be a good idea..." I hesitate.
"It will. Now, deal or no deal?" He raises his fingers again, moving slightly closer.
"Deal," I shout. Whoa, that was louder than I expected. I think I should've been a bit quieter because even my ears want to bleed.
My phone gives a quick buzz, and I glance at it, frowning, and just ignore the alert.
Xav's smile starts to fade, and the warmth that had been in his eyes starts to fade.
"I know the file said a lot about me, but at events like this, there's something you need to know," Xav says, a sorrowful look on his face.
"Ok. What is it?"
"I, well.... I hate talking to people, so I'm rude and walk away or only talk to my date."
"Wait, what?" must be my new catchphrase of the night.
"People and politicians are ridiculous. They're way too self-centered. I'm more focused on the safety of my city and the health and welfare of my people. So, I'm rude. You're probably the only person I'll really talk to. If I leave your side and people approach, you'll likely be interrogated, so I have a last minute question for you.
