“Thanks guys. Today was a blast. I admit I was a little scared. I felt my heartbeat in my ears.”
“Me too.” Megan peeked at Chelsea.
“Getting that opportunity to take back my power. Felt good. I can’t get over she threatened to kill me.” She sniffled, then a devilish smile crept across her lips.
“We will finish her.”
Her revenge snarl was such a fucking turn on.
“The drooling and scratching was a nice start to her take down.” Chelsea’s evil smile remained.
Everyone burst into laughter.
“The look on your face, Tate. I swear I thought you’d laugh in her face.”
I threw my head back, laughing. “Matt, I wanted to, but I had to keep my focus.”
“Rocco, please tell me we can watch that footage again?” Connie pleaded.
“We sure can.” He sipped his cola.
“She didn’t know what hit her,” Megan giggled.
I tore into my hamburger again.
“Tate, slow down. Give us a chance to catch up.”
“Matt, I can’t. I am starving.”
The theater darkened as the first preview popped on the screen.
Thirty minutes later, Chelsea looped her arm through mine engrossed in the movie. Our friends oohed and ahhed around us. It appeared the geek squad enjoyed Marvel movies as much as me, Matt, and Chelse. They were all right.
My lips pressed against her ear. “I love you, baby.”
She caressed my cheek. “I love you, too.”
Our goal to get rid of Regina was almost complete.
We had a few more tricks up our sleeves.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
TATE
“Help! Help!” rang out, from the center of the gym.
“Regina, climb down the rope. I assure you there aren’t any snakes,” Principal Wade urged.
“No, I swear to you there were snakes.”
He rubbed his temple. I wondered when was the last time the man had sound sleep. Those bags under his eyes were hanging pretty low. He glimpsed around the room.
“There is nothing here,” he sighed running his hand over the ball spot on top of his head.
“Ask Tate. He was in here with me when the snake tried to bite my leg off.”
Sitting on the bleachers, I stared at the spectacle at the top of the rope.
