Chapter Fourteen

Dora

“Come over at six,” Dallas says as soon as I answer my phone.

“In t-the m-morning?”

I am not an early riser. Not even a little.

“Dory”––a heavy sigh filters through the phone––“do you, or do not want to learn how to surf?”

“I do.”

“Am I not the best surfer you know?”

A grin stretches my lips apart even though it’s midnight and I’m half asleep. Turning in bed, I face the closet where the Cat Woman costume reminds me that I know how this boy’s lips feel. How they taste. What his sighs of pleasure sound like.

“I dunno, I hear R-Rea’s pretty…” My words fade at the mention of Reagan.

He’s gone, took off the day after the night at the club, leaving Alice without an explanation. Only a letter telling her to move on without him and the pink slip to his Jeep. As much as Dallas tries to hide it, I know he’s worried. As much as he tried to disguise it with humor, I know he misses him terribly.

“H-Have you heard from him?”

He takes a deep breath. “Nothing.” A full minute later. “I’m worried.”

“I know…I-I think he n-needs to forget all of us for a while.”

I know that’s what I used to do when life got overwhelming. My Kindle is a testament to that.

“Maybe…be here at six.” That’s his cue that he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. I’ve gotten pretty good at reading his tea leaves. “And insubordination will be met with punishment, young grasshopper.”

Punishment? What kind of punishment? And why does that sound appealing?

I really need to cut back on the dark erotic romance. One thing is for sure, if anything were to happen to me and my parents checked my Kindle they would question whether they raised a monster.

“You r-really need to stop with the K-Kung Fu marathons and f-find s-something else to watch.”

“That’s Cole’s thing. I’m merely a bystander,” he explains while I role play the punishment in my head. “Anyway, Master orders you to get your cute ass to my place tomorrow morning or face the consequences.”

All I heard is that he thinks my butt is cute. “Y-You’re taking this wingman s-stuff v-very seriously.”

“When I make a commitment, I keep it. Besides, corrupting the innocent is my superpower.”

Truth hidden in plain sight, under the guise of humor. Dallas is not full of beans. He keeps his word and shows up. His work at the shelter is a testament to that. I’m not even sure what Vi and Mika would’ve done without him. All the construction he’s helping with has kept costs down. Then there was the mysterious donation of thirty-thousand dollars in cash a law firm sent the other day on behalf of a client that wishes to remain anonymous. He refuses to admit it, but we all have a good idea where it came from.

“Dallas…” I start, remorseful, ashamed at how much I underestimated him. Like everyone else in his life, I expected nothing other a vain, shallow boy. When in truth, I haven’t even begun to reach the depth of him.
