“How so?”

Kingston looks so s, I want to smack him

“For one, being under your supposed protection doesn’t stop you fro to do hy I was so fucked up after only two drinks Two, the location has zero influence over my decision because I don’t trust you See reason nu to go be getting back at you?” I tick off each reason ly

A ston’s jaw “You done?”

“Are you?” I challenge

“Not even close” Kingston turns to Ainsley “You’re going, right?”

“Yeah” Ainsley looks at me “You can ride with me if you want, Jazz I swear I won’t take off like I did last time And if you don’t want to drink, I won’t either”

“Fine,” I agree

“Then it’s settled You’ll ride with Ainsley and later in the evening, you’ll be riding me” Bentley pulls me into his side

I push him off “You wish”

He winks “Ain’t denying that”

I smile,
