Shadows In Durango
Chapter 29-1
Sofia’s POV
It was now an hour until my shift starts at Intensity and I felt stressed to say the least.
Vincent was taking his time to get organised, claiming that there was no rush considering he owns the place but I still don’t want to let Tito down. Not on my second night!
Daryl still hadn’t returned, which I was somewhat grateful for however I needed my keys back in order to get home later after work…
We still had to drop Emma back home too, since her parents were starting to worry that she had been out last night and all of today which was understandably unheard of for her since she didn’t attend parties.
I also didn’t want them thinking that I, her new friend of a couple of days, was already a bad influence on her. I really wasn’t trying to cause harm or upset to anybody in town – especially not to Emma who had been my rock this past few days.
“Vincent… we need to drop Emma on the way there too remember.” politely add, watching him manoeuvre around the house grabbing his jacket and keys at snails pace.
“Don’t you think I already know that? Why are you rushing me? Calm it!” He snaps, evidently irritated by my anxiety on running
late.
I was never late to anything, I couldn’t help it… there was nothing worse than being the last to walk in somewhere with all eyes on
you!
–
Remaining quiet, he eventually heads for the front door as myself and Emma follow him out like strays – approaching his fancy car once again.
The same car he had rescued and kissed me in last night….
I swallow hard at the memory, climbing in to the passenger seat as he revs the engine to life.
He puts the car into drive and takes off down the road at high speed whilst pulling his belt across him at the same time – only stopping for a moment until the electric gates open for him to pass through.
He puts the foot down once more as I clutch my own seatbelt for dear life. We start heading towards the address Emma had given him watching as he switches on the radio as opposed to making small talk which I was actually thankful for.
“Uh… um Vincent…” Emma speaks up from in the back, as we approach her street, causing him to glance back at her in the mirror.
“Could you um, slow down a little bit… I don’t want my parents to freak out…” Emma admits, seeming nervous and embarrassed by the request but it was understandable.
What parents would be happy seeing their kids coming back from a wild party in a fancy car owned by the towns notorious bad boy going way over the speed limit?!
–
With a simple nod, the car falls back, and he begins driving at a normal pace not like the maniac from before which surprised me. He had actually listened…
Within minutes we pulled up in front of the same house, as Emma thanked him and said her goodbyes to me.
I was more grateful to her for coming to the party with me than what she even knew. I couldn’t have handled that on my own… what if Daryl ditched me like that when I had nobody there with me at all?!
1/2
Chapter 29-1
The thought of Daryl made me audibly sigh, disappointed with how things had turned out since I really did think that we were becoming great friends…
Now it would just be weird to be around him more than anything. I also didn’t need any other obsessed females giving me grief at school over him either. I had already had my fair share of jealous cheerleaders, I didn’t need to add a third to the list.
“What’s gotten into you now?” Vincent demands to know my thoughts as I shake my head slightly and ignore him.
“Don’t ignore me!” He grits after a moment of silence, struggling to main patient at the best of times as I straighten up in the
seat.
