“You don’t look upset,” he said. “You’re flushed. Your heart is racing. I can see it.” He stepped forward. “Your breath, you’re trying to control it. But it’s not working. If I saw you like this in a different time or place, I’d think you were ready to fuck.”
Just watching me, he let the smoke rise in a white miasma. My lungs took in more air than they ever had in such a short period of time. Foul language usually put the taste of tar and bile on my tongue, but from him, it sent a line of heat from my knees to my lower back.
“I don’t like that kind of talk.” It was out of my mouth before I realized I didn’t mean it.
“Maybe.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a white business card. “Maybe not.”
I took the card. Antonio Spinelli, Esq., and a number in 213. I glanced up to ask him what kind of lawyer made douchebags lick puke off a car, but he was already walking toward a black Maserati. Bow Lips gently leaned Deirdre against the wall.
“Thanks,” I said, pocketing the card.
“Take care of her.” He indicated that I should sit next to Deirdre before one of the many smokers exiting the club did. “She’s dangerous.”
I smiled at him and watched as he got in the passenger side and they drove away. I sat next to my sister and waited for the ambulance.
I have to cut it here or it’s going to go on forever.
