Chapter Thirteen

Yet another party. I’m not sure how many more of these I can stomach. There’s only so much time a person can spend entertaining themselves by watching everyone else get drunk. And I’m about tapped out.

It doesn’t help that Salma’s hosting again since her parents are out of town as some pharmaceutical conference for the weekend. I keep looking over my shoulder, worried her brother is going to show up again. I don’t know why I’m so on edge about it, it’s already late. If he was going to show up, he surely would have done it by now. Smith and Ace have both already begged off for the night, and I’m pretty sure Patrick will probably be heading out soon, too. The only reason I’m still here is because Pearl demanded I not come home for the night. She’s really doubling-down on her demands for me not to hover over her every chance I get.

So, I’m staying the night with Salma tonight. Another reason to not want Kareem to show up. Salma swears he had plans in NYC, but I remember how it went the last time he had plans.

As if my thoughts alone conjured him, the next time I look up from my spot perched on the armrest of the sofa, Kareem is crossing the room towards me. Patrick, who’s on the seat of the couch right next to me, has been resting his hand against my lower back, so he feels the moment I stiffen. Leaning forward to see what’s gotten my attention, he lets out a string of curse words that even make me blush.

“This asshole has to be fucking kidding me,” he spits out as he stands up and steps in front of me so that I’m partially blocked from view.

“I’m not here to fight,” I hear Kareem say. “My sister told me I needed to come apologize if I wanted to be allowed to sleep in my own bed tonight.” Patrick doesn’t move, and after a second Kareem huffs. “Fuck. Whatever. I’ll sleep in the damn car.”

I almost let the moment pass without saying anything, but then my conscience kicks in. “Wait.” I scramble up off the armrest and step around Patrick. “This is your house. You shouldn’t be sleeping in the car.” I regret my decision almost immediately when I see the calculated way Kareem smiles at me. He set me up. Salma probably doesn’t even know he’s here.

“I’m getting Jax. Nobody ever questions him. Let him be the one to fucking deck this guy,” Patrick grumbles under his breath, stepping away I’m sure to do just that.

“No, Patrick, wait,” I try to stop him, but it’s too late. He’s already halfway across the room before I even finish getting the words out. Yet again, this is going to end up turning into a much bigger deal than it needs to be. I scowl at Kareem. “Why can’t you just back off?”

“I’ll back off,” he says, but I can tell there’s more from the way he smirks.
