Carnage: Book #1 The Story Of Us (Volume 1)(126)

Bailey and Lennon both shake their heads but Lennon has more to add. “Just for once George, just for once let it go, stop trying to punish him. Calling him a rapist was a low f*ckin’ blow, just leave it, just leave the past in the past and move the f*ck on, for all our sakes. You two being apart affected all of us, we all love both of you and we all hated watching the pair of you in such misery but we stayed out of it because we all thought that one day you would sort your shit out and get back together, now it’s happened, please try your hardest to make it work.”

I chewed on the inside of my bottom lip, Jimmie has stayed quiet and I look at her with a ‘Well aren’t you going to say something’ expression. “Dya love him George?”

“Of course I do.”

“Can you live without him?”

“You know I can’t.”

“Then get over there, get that slut’s grimy mitts off him and let him know.”

I turn toward the dance floor, Jill has her hands all over Sean, he keeps laughing and moving them off of his arse, then his face, then his arse again, she’s grinding into him and steps closer every time he steps away, his eyes meet mine and he looks at me desperately, I raise my eyebrows and fold my arms across my chest.

“Na,” I say to Jim. “Let him suffer for a bit longer.”

Jill suddenly lunges at him with her mouth, that’s when I move. “Oi!” I yank her away by her hair. “You’re taking the piss now love.”

She shrugs and walks away. “Come on, can’t blame me for trying,” she calls over her shoulder but I’m not listening.

Gloria Estefan’s ‘I don’t wanna lose you’ starts to play and he grabs my hand and pulls me into the middle of the dance floor.

“I’m sorry,” we both say at the exact same time.

“I’m a jealous f*cker, it’s done, you’ve finished with him, I won’t mention him again, and I love you.” He kisses me, softly on my mouth.

“I shouldn’t have said what I said, it was spiteful and not what I think, I love you too.” I kiss him gently on the mouth.

He smiles at me. “Then listen to the words G, listen to the words of this song, I don’t wanna lose you again, ever and no matter what, we will get through this somehow, because this, what we have got, blows all of the others out of the f*ckin water, Romeo and Juliet, Bonnie and Clyde, Sandy and Danny, even Baby and Jonny, they can’t touch us. They couldn’t write our story, what we have, there aren’t even words invented yet to describe it.”

A lone tear runs down my cheek and he licks, yes licks it from my face. “Shall we go home so you can show me your tits?” he asks with a grin.

“You’re such a charmer Maca.” He gives me his full on, rock star on the front cover of a magazine, smoulder.

“Yeah, you think, am I good enough to get into your knickers later?”

“Erm babe, you did that about an hour ago, over my brother’s desk.”

He looks horrified. “Aw shit, was that you? Sorry, I thought that was some random bird, throwing herself at me.”

I stop dancing and put my hands on my hips. “That’s not funny.”

“I’m joking, I’m joking, come on, say goodbye to your mates and let’s get out of here.”

“Mine or yours?” I ask.

“Well I’m assuming Marley won’t be leaving without Ash so let’s go to yours.”

We say our goodbyes and leave the club by the back doors as apparently there are number of reporters waiting out the front. Milo walks us out and jumps into the front of Sean’s Land Rover that’s waiting outside for us. I’m introduced to Dave our driver and we’re driven through the night back to my flat, me trying to keep Sean’s hands from sliding into my knickers all the way there.
