“I swear to God, if my parents hadn’t raised me to never hit a woman-” Ryder was so angry that he was shaking. “After all the hell you’ve put us through-”
“My parents didn’t raise me that way,” Pixie said, and she hauled off and decked Barbara on the jaw, sending her sprawling.
“That’s for all the pain you caused my boyfriend, and his family, you whore!” she yelled. “Get up so I can hit you again!”
“Oh, I like her,” Dominick’s mother said to him. “I really, really like her.”
Barbara’s father pulled her to her feet, and they scrambled off the porch. Everyone followed them to the front of the house.
Barbara’s family ran over to the baby blue Mercedes which Ryder had bought for her last week; it was blocked in by Pixie’s car.
“Move! Move! Move!” Barbara screamed at Pixie, shaking with fury.
“Nope,” Dominick said, shaking his head.
Barbara shot Dominick a look of hatred before they quickly piled into her father’s beat up old pick up truck and roared away, with several police cars in hot pursuit.
“Man, I feel stupid,” Dominick growled. “I actually paid that bastard to make me that talisman – to fix what him and his niece had done to me. What was I thinking?”
“You weren’t thinking straight,” Pixie said. “You’d been bewitched. My God, what a hag. She better never cross my path again.”
“You did good, babe,” Dominick said, hugging Pixie to him.
“I know, I am pretty incredible,” she said modestly.
“You holding up okay?”
“Not bad. I mean, finding out I’m fifty percent evil is pretty disturbing.”
“Nahh. It’s what makes you sexy.” He bent down and kissed her lips. “By the way, I’m never, never letting you go.”
“So I have my own stalker now?”
“Your very own. “ He leaned down to whisper in her ear. “Also, as you may have noticed, my family’s house has a lot of rooms. Rooms where we could disappear for an hour and nobody would find us. Come, let’s go exploring.”
