Not My Type

Lenley

THE ENVELOPE WITH Papà’s last letter to me is like a thousand pound weight in my purse as I open the fire door at the back of the office and walk outside.

I inhale the warm air, surprised by how hot it is. I guess this is going to be an exceptionally hot summer if it’s this hot before noon.

I can’t wait to be home and to have some time to decide if I want to read that letter right now; I’m tempted, but at the same I want to wait, because it’s like once I read that, that’s it. Those are the last words my papà will ever say to me. So I kind of want to wait for the right moment to have that last conversation with him.

But at the same time, I want to know what he was thinking in the final weeks of his life. He probably wrote that letter thinking that I would never have to read it. After all there was no real reason for him to believe that he wouldn’t be around on my eighteenth birthday.

I’m so lost in my own thoughts that I don’t see the hand closing around my wrist until I’m pulled around the corner and against the hangar’s wall.

“I told you to stay the fuck away from them!” Darrius is immediately in my face, his brown eyes blazing with barely contained fury.

His fingers are closed around my wrist in a vice-like grip and when I try to shake him off, I only manage to get him to close the distance between us, flattening me against the wall with his much larger body.

“Good morning to you too!” I say, defiantly.

“Lenley, I fucking mean it! Whatever the hell you think you’re doing, you need to knock it off right now!”

I grind my teeth, pulling to get free of his grasp, until he eventually lets go of me. “What are you talking about?” I challenge him.

He raises his voice, his fists clenched so tightly at his sides that his knuckles are turning white. “If you want to play fucking dumb, then I’ll treat you accordingly. Remember last year, when I took you out for your birthday? Remember what the fuck I told you at that party? I told you to stay the fuck away from the Cove Devils! I told you that they aren’t good guys. Or have you forgotten that everyone in town calls them The Heartbreakers? From the moment they set foot in Star Cove, they’ve fucked and dumped pretty much anything that will spread their legs for them! They’re in this sport for the money and the groupies, for the parties and the fame and I don’t want you anywhere near them! I thought I was very clear about it, so imagine my surprise when my girlfriend told me that she was attacked by one of those assholes yesterday. And said asshole was with you!”

I’m at a loss for words at how what happened yesterday between me and Kiara can be my fault.
