they have gotten to you.”
With one last kiss to her forehead, I helped her get herself together to face what was beyond the door, and told myself that I was not going to let anyone else hurt her again, not while I was here.
But what happens when you leave? I’ll just have to think about that later, right now it was enough to get through the rest of this night, especially after I tell her mother that I wouldn’t be joining them for dinner.
I wonder what would happen if I took the fire breather out, just the two of us?
No, better not, until I knew what I was going to do about her I’d better not go making any grand gestures, who knows what horrors they’d wreak on her head next if I showed my newfound interest in her.
“You ready?”
“Geez Lancelot, I’m not headed for the guillotine.” Well, at least she wasn’t looking so pitiful anymore.

"What the hell’s with you three and this guy anyway?" I faced them down as they tried to get by me for the door.
"I wouldn't expect you to understand, after all how could you? Just because you've won some nice purses running around on that bike of yours, you're just not one of us." The idiot sniffed her nose at me.
"Thank you Petra, you say the sweetest things." What a fucking troll, I should really let the terror loose on her ass the next time she goes on the warpath and wants her blood.
"Anyway in case you didn't know Jackson Collins is one of the wealthiest men on the planet, he has billions. Do you know what that means? It means I would be set for life. The only thing is, we would definitely have to move from Texas, maybe Milan or Paris, oh the possibilities."
Are people really this deluded in real life? I always knew this one was a little touched, then again it could be that Maxie had brained her once too often over the years. Those two can go at it like nobody’s business.
"Who says he'll pick you Petra? He could easily choose me you know." Oh boy, looks like we were headed for s showdown between the twits. This ought to be fun.
"Oh Jenny, no hard feelings but really, I mean, just look at me." If she wasn’t so stupid she might’ve made a halfway decent human being. As it was, she bore no redeeming qualities whatsoever as far as I could see.
"What about you Miranda, you after him too?" might as well get it all out there in the open. I hope those two in there were following along.
Not that I thought the guy was dumb enough to fall for their shit, he seemed smart enough to me, for all that little dove thought he was a brainless jackass, but she was biased.
"Oh Miranda's heart isn't in it, I think she's hiding something but she won't tell us what it is."
"Jennifer I told, you it's nothing." oh-ho what have we here?
"Then why are you blushing?" Jenny tried to force the issue, but Petra wasn’t interested.
"Who cares about that now Jenny, let's go find the yummy Mr. Collins; can you imagine our babies? They'll be just gorgeous. Though I wish there was a way to get them without actually having to have them." She shuddered.
"So you're not in love with him at all, just the money and that's it?"
"Love is something poor people believe in, it keeps them warm at night, personally I don't have time."
"Petra you know what you are, don't you?"
"I'll thank you not to speak to me like that Jonas Denton. Unless you've forgotten, your father works for mine. I would hate to have him fired, especially since he's such a mediocre worker anyway, my father only keeps him on because he's a..."
Oh shit, I was about to blast her, but before I could say a word the door was thrust open behind me and out came a ball of hellacious fury.
Jackson was right behind her, but I could've warned him. When that projectile was in motion, there was no stopping her, which Petra found out when she got a fist to the mouth.
