Chapter 255 Mine (I)

• Malik’s car followed closely behind Waylen’s. We didn’t know where he was headed, but he just asked us to follow him. I drummed my fingers on my knee, my head bobbing to the music on the radio. Malik hummed along. We shared a glance and laughed. I couldn’t explain the warmth pumping through my chest, but I knew I would rather be here than anywhere else. Oh, with Waylen too. But he was driving.
• We slowed down when Waylen’s car did, and I placed my hand over Malik’s. My cheeks flushed thinking about what we did in his backseat. Instead of embarrassment, I felt contentment. They were mine. Mine to love, mine to please, mine to fuck. Mine.
• Cars hurried past us as we moved at a slower pace. I wanted to elongate our time together before Waylen had to leave. Seeing both of them move from ‘I hate you so much I’ll slit your throat’ to ‘yeah, he’s not that bad’ made me feel accomplished in a way I had never done. We turned into a corner, and I shook my head slowly.
