”This is extremely fucked up,” Lolita screamed, running a hand through her hair and gripping the steering wheel with the other.
She let out a long, ragged breath and glanced in the rearview mirror to see if we had lost him.
”What the hell Shay?”
Thunder crashed from above and I ignored Lolita; instead I glanced out the window, at the darkness surrounding us and the droplets of rain that pattered against the car.
Putting on the wipers, Lolita adjusted her seat, not because she was uncomfortable, but because she was anxious and still slightly shaken up.
She ran her hand through her hair again and clicked her tongue in annoyance.
”Shay!” she yelled and I snapped my head towards her, eyeing her irritably.
She glanced at me briefly before dragging her eyes back onto the road.
Squinting into the darkness before us, she increased the brightness of the headlights.
”What,” I said, gripping tightly onto my seatbelt as Lolita sped down the highway ”what the fuck is your problem?”
”My problem? Gosh, Shay, I don't know,” she said sarcastically and I could almost feel her rolling her eyes ”maybe the fact that we were just chased by some freaking lunatic,” Lolita said, slowing down and swerving to the right so she could take the next exit off the highway.
I was older than her, but she still felt like she had the right to be bossy.
This was why I hated the fact that she was the reasonable one and I simply wasn't.
”Who was he anyway?”
”How am I supposed to know?” I hissed, rubbing at the goosebumps that had formed on my upper arms, before dragging my gaze from her and back out the window.
”Don't play dumb Shay,” Lolita said as she slowed to a stop.
The traffic light turned red, so she took her hands off the wheel and turned her body to me, her brows raised as if waiting for an explanation.
”Look, I didn't know he'd get the wrong idea; it was all just harmless flirting!” I yelled, throwing my arms up exasperatedly.
”Harmless flirting?” she yelled again, turning back to the wheel as the light turned green.
”You threw yourself at him! Of course his pervy ass took it to mean something more!” she hissed and stepped on the accelerator, sending us hurtling down the highway once again.
