CHAPTER 15
Mimosa
Drake gives me a dress, sensible sandals, and a cute sweater to match the dress. Surprisingly, thereâs a pair of leggings too.
I hold those up and glance at Drake. âYouâre okay with me wearing these?â
âI wouldnât have put them there if I wasnât,â he grumbles. âItâs gonna be windy. I donât want to hear you complaining about your legs being cold.â
Thatâs strangely sensible coming from Drake. I get dressed, glancing at myself in the mirror once Iâm done. I look good, and everything matches my hair.
I match Drakeâs outfit too, I notice.
Itâs a strange thing to see. Iâve never thought of him as particularly fashionable, but thinking back, he does seem to put pride in his appearance. Matching outfits, though, are a little amusing.
And a lot weird.
âAre you going to behave?â he asks, pausing with his hand on the door.
âHave I ever not behaved?â I respond flatly. He scowls, and I suppress a small smile.
Maybe I do get a small kick out of annoying him. I might as well enjoy my small rebellions, since I canât prevent him from doing worse things to me.
âDid you ever think of being a lawyer instead of a shrink?â he asks sourly. âBecause you sure do like the loopholes.â
I donât say anything, although I can tell Drake wants me to.
After a few moments, he scoffs and turns away from me. âOkay, come on. Itâs a two-hour drive.â
I follow him to the elevator, and we ride all the way down to the garage. His convertible is parked in a semi-private area of the garage. Well, one of his carsâI assume at least one or two others on the same floor are also his.
He lowers the top on the car and turns on music, then drives us out onto the streets of New Bristol.
Itâs strange to think that I havenât been outside properly for ages. I stare up at the tall building, the penthouse only barely visible from down here.
âWeâre going to Mer dâOr,â Drake says, as if Iâd asked.
I glance over to him, squinting against the harsh sunlight. âThe casino town?â
âItâs not just casinos,â Drake mutters. âTheyâve got a nice boardwalk. We could do a boat tour. Go sailing. Enjoy the beach. Get tickets to whatever show is going on.â
âBut you also want to go to the casinos,â I say.
âWell, yeah,â he says, shrugging. âDo you have a problem with casinos?â His smile is a little nasty as he asks, âParents used to gamble?â
âI donât know if they did,â I say honestly. âI donât have the money to gamble. Irene and I were living frugally.â
âYou know Chaseâs bitch? Her daddy got her in a pickle because he gambled too much,â Drake says, offering the information casually. âSeems like all of you end up punished for other peopleâs fuck-ups, huh?â
Apparently so. I wonder if Irene regrets putting me into this positionâif she even knows what became of me.
I hope she hasnât had a good nightâs sleep since that day.
âYouâll have to be careful not to end up like him, then,â I answer.
