Only Trick
““What the hell?” Trick jerks his head away from their intrusive lenses just inches from my windows.
“Countdown to the polls. The campaigns are making their official shift from throwing sand at the playground to digging their opponent’s grave.”
“Why take our picture? What are we?”
I give Trick a sidelong glance. “Dirt.”
“Am I going to be an issue?”
I chuckle. “God, I hope so.”
“Why would you say that?” There’s an iciness to his words. “Are you using me to rebel? Slumming with the homeless guy?”
...He’s taking the defensive like he did shortly after we met. I was ten percent angry and ninety percent turned on then, but now it flat out pisses me off that he would think that about me. I get he has trust issues, but I’d hoped by now they wouldn’t be with me.
“Thanks for the trust, but no, I’m not using you to rebel.” I sigh. “Rachel visited me the other day and basically told me to stop seeing you. She fears you have too many ‘skeletons’ in your closet that could destroy my father’s chance for re-election.”MoreLess
