“Are you angry with me?” I ask Dean and then try to swallow. But I can’t. There’s a spiked lump in the back of my throat that won’t go away.

I know I’m a bitch. I’ll be the first to admit it.

I like to hate people before they can hate me. I’ll call them out, but I call myself out on my own shit. I know it doesn’t make it right though.

“I didn’t mean to upset you when I called your mother a bitch.” Even as I give him the apology, I feel awkward and like I’ve done him a great disservice. He wanted to make things right with her and I think I just made things even worse.

I fidget my thumbs nervously as I wait for Dean to look at me. I feel awful. “I should have just been quiet,” I tell him, and my voice cracks a little.

“You’re fine,” he replies and lifts the turn signal lever, the ticks echoing in the hollow cabin of the car.

“What I said wasn’t though,” I mumble. “And I’m sorry.”

Dean softens. He’s been tense and stiff ever since we left. And my words have been caught in the back of my throat. It’s weird feeling this overwhelming urge to be forgiven. I’m not used to it. At least not like this.

“I told you she’s a bitch,” he points out as he straightens out the wheel and leans back, setting his hand on my thigh. In that same spot as before. Moving his thumb in the way I like. I’m getting used to him doing that and even more, I’m growing to love the little touches. I cover his hand with mine and peek up at him.

“Next time, I’ll be quiet.”

He turns to look at me with a pinched expression. “There’s not going to be a next time.” My stomach sinks and I can’t breathe until he adds, “I’m not going back there again.”

“Well, if ever there’s any other thing…” I stumble over my words. “I won’t--”

“I like that you stood up for me,” Dean says, cutting me off.

“You like it, so you forgive me? Or you like it--”

“I like the way you handled yourself. I’m not mad.”

“So, we’re okay?” I ask him desperately, my heart hurting more than it should and it’s only just now that I realize what I really feel for Dean. And that’s dangerous.

Dean lets out a humorous breath, with a light in his eyes that eases me. “You’re sweet, Allie Cat,” he tells me and then gives me a soft smile.

“So where are we going?” I ask him, finally relaxing back into the seat and sitting cross-legged. He tries to take his hand away, but I put it right back on my thigh and he lets me.

“The hotel around the corner has good room service,” he answers like it’s a question.

“I like room service.”

“And then you can tell me something to take my mind off the fact that I’m fucking stupid for coming down here at all.
