Regarding tonight, I’ll come pick you up when you’re done.

Overlord
Absolutely not.

Overlord
If he so much as looks at alcohol before driving you, I’ll murder him.
homicide is a crime
Overlord
And? I think you’ll find I’d commit any and all crimes to keep you safe.
Something heavy drops inside of my stomach before exploding into a thousand, tiny butterflies. My skin heats as Scotty mumbles something about the parking situation at the club, but my mind is elsewhere.
you cant go to prison because sushi would be sad
Overlord
I don’t think Captain would miss me if you were around to take care of him.
id miss you, tho
I send it without thinking, and my cheeks burn hotter. Three dots appear, and I hold my breath until they disappear and reappear several times.What are you trying to say, Liam?
Overlord
*I’d
Overlord
*though.
Overlord
Please. My soul is crying.
I laugh out loud at that, and Scotty leans over before I have a chance to hide my screen. I lock it quickly and look around, realizing that we’re already parked behind the club.
“How’s Liam?” Scotty asks, his dark eyes narrow as he watches me for my reaction.
I keep my expression neutral as I answer. “Fine. He was making sure I had a safe ride home.”
Scotty chuckles, but it’s not a kind laugh. His hands grip the steering wheel of his old truck.
“I know he doesn’t trust me.”
“He doesn’t trust anyone,” I offer, brushing it off.
“No, but he, like, really hates me,” Scotty says, blowing out a frustrated breath of air as he looks forward.
