“Fine,” I agree. “We’ll take my sister too.”

The words came out harsher than I intended them to and her face hardens. I don’t bother apologizing though; I think I’ve given enough for one night.

It took every ounce of strength I had to stop when she asked me to. I would have taken her right there, up against the wall if I thought she would have appreciated it. There’s something about her. I can’t put my finger on it. I shouldn’t like her. I shouldn’t put myself into these situations with her. But I can’t fucking help myself.

Maybe that’s what it is? My father ordered me to get rid of her. She’s forbidden. She’s dangerous, even though she doesn’t know it. Maybe I just don’t like anyone to tell me I can’t have something. That would make sense.

But there’s something else. She intrigues me. She should hate me. She maintains she does hate me, but her eyes deceive her. She looks at me like she’s curious, not scared. Twice I’ve kissed her and twice I’ve felt her need, like a hunger. Like she’s starving. You don’t kiss someone you hate like that.

She’s different, too. Rosheen uses me. I know she does, and it’s never bothered me before considering I use her too. She knows being with me makes her untouchable, as did the ones who came before her. She likes that. She likes the power I give her. She doesn’t care that I treat her like shit, just as long as I’m nice sometimes and she reaps the rewards for putting up with it. Lacey wouldn’t stand for that. She’s happy with what she’s already got. She doesn’t need me, and that makes her difficult. She’s a challenge. To get to Lacey, I’ll need to work harder.

That doesn’t put me off her. If anything, it fucking excites me.

I take Lacey’s hand and lead her back through the warehouse to where I left my sister. People move out of the way for us. We enter the room and it goes silent, except for Heather who’s sat at the table with the boys giggling like mad.

“Time to go,” I tell her.

Heather looks at me and does a dramatic, sad face. “I’m having fun! Ten more minutes?”

“Move it, Heather. I’m not fucking about.”

Her sad face turns to anger, but she gets up from her chair anyway.

“What about Stevie?” Lacey says. “Can you carry her?”

“Calvin, take Stevie home.” I say.

Calvin nods and gets up from his chair, throwing his pile of cards down on the table.

“No! She can’t go home in that state.” Lacey turns to me. “Take her to my house. Please.”

I shrug. “Fair enough. Calvin, you heard the woman. Drop her off at Lacey’s.” I motion with my head for the girls to follow me, and then I make my way out of the room.

Lacey practically has to run to catch up with me. “I meant you!” Her spoilt tone is begging for me to teach her a lesson.

I chuckle. “I know what you meant.
