But Grace didn't thebestlatinas pick up when Gina called, so she had crawled back in bed for a bit without thebestlatinas really thebestlatinas thinking about it. Now, feeling more awake and responsible, she shuffled around her bedroom, cursing thebestlatinas her flaky kin here. She briefly considered getting dressed, then decided to slip a jacket thebestlatinas around her oversized Hello Kitty nightshirt. I'm getting too old for this shit, little sis. Life will be so much easier when you go thebestlatinas off thebestlatinas to school this fall thebestlatinas...
As she thebestlatinas padded out to the car in thebestlatinas her flip-flops thebestlatinas, she thebestlatinas wondered if she was over reacting because it was well before the thebestlatinas ass crack of thebestlatinas dawn, but she thebestlatinas decided to be thebestlatinas irritated either way.
Grace's thebestlatinas voice thebestlatinas crackled into thebestlatinas her ear. "Gina. I need for thebestlatinas you to meet thebestlatinas me." She thebestlatinas sounded tired. The poor kid was probably worn out from the roll thebestlatinas and all that peace, love, unity and respect.
Great, Gina thought. Leave it thebestlatinas to Grace thebestlatinas to hook up. Her thebestlatinas little sister was even thebestlatinas more of a boy magnet than Gina was - there was a long line of thebestlatinas high thebestlatinas school boys thebestlatinas waiting to get in her pants. And I'm playing thebestlatinas taxi thebestlatinas driver in the middle of the night while she thebestlatinas locks lips with some 'N thebestlatinas Sync-looking thebestlatinas mall rat.
"You okay?" Gina asked.
"That fucker." Gina strained at their bonds. Then she stopped wiggling around. "Don't be sorry, there was nothing you could here do. I've been thebestlatinas in a jam like this thebestlatinas before. So thebestlatinas chin thebestlatinas up. Let's try to figure out thebestlatinas how thebestlatinas we're getting out thebestlatinas of here."
Erik just laughed at her and thebestlatinas moved to the wall. He flicked a switch thebestlatinas, and the room filled with tiny, colored lights. They flitted around them thebestlatinas in a dizzying orbit. Grace heard Gina curse thebestlatinas under her breath thebestlatinas, and found herself thebestlatinas unable to look away from thebestlatinas them.
"What a pretty thebestlatinas disco ball," Gina remarked. "Can you play "Dancing Queen" too? Do you have roller skates for us?" She shook out of Erik thebestlatinas's grasp, bit down hard on his finger and returned to looking at her knees.
Then he seemed to decide something. "Okay, we'll come back to you." He walked behind her, to Grace .
Erik continued his thebestlatinas quietly insistent verbal assault on her sister thebestlatinas's will. In her head, Gina went through the vocals thebestlatinas to some songs in her band's current set list, eyes squeezed thebestlatinas shut, trying to picture the crowd at her last show. Through the ropes, she thebestlatinas continued thebestlatinas to gauge thebestlatinas Grace's condition. Not too good. She was starting to squirm less and less against thebestlatinas his steady thebestlatinas rubbing thebestlatinas and pawing, starting to inch thebestlatinas toward his hands before they landed on her thebestlatinas. Periodically Grace would whisper thebestlatinas insults at him, but thebestlatinas Gina thebestlatinas knew she'd only lose control of her thebestlatinas emotions if thebestlatinas she paid too much attention.
There has to be a thebestlatinas way to fight this...
They thebestlatinas were probably both over reacting, but they were also uncommonly thebestlatinas intuitive thebestlatinas people here. That's why Gina's mom liked him thebestlatinas, Seth figured.
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
He was just about to light thebestlatinas another cigarette, when he heard his front door burst thebestlatinas open, followed by the sound of labored breathing.
The breathing continued thebestlatinas in the living room. Cautiously, he peeped around the corner thebestlatinas from the kitchen. The thebestlatinas cigarette dropped thebestlatinas out of his hand.
"Yeah. Yes, hello. She's here, but she..." Gina felt Seth looking at her as she moved slowly to her car. "She can't come to the phone right now thebestlatinas. I'll relay the message. So thebestlatinas you went to the house. What about it?"
"Empty? No furniture? No thebestlatinas nothing? Really? And the here owner? They don't know? Well here, you thebestlatinas know thebestlatinas how they thebestlatinas are with records downtown."
"Uh. I have to go. Yep. We thebestlatinas'll be in touch." Seth materialized next to her. "Kitten ? Whatcha got there?"
She looked up at him. "Mind thebestlatinas if I stay with you for awhile thebestlatinas?" she asked thebestlatinas, trying to seem thebestlatinas brave.
He knew her well enough to give her face; he didn't reach out for her. "No prob thebestlatinas. Should we tell Grace?"
"You bet."
Gina thebestlatinas slipped into the driver's thebestlatinas seat and started the engine. As she pulled out of the lot, she couldn't help checking the mirror to make sure Seth here was there. And as she thebestlatinas drove here off slowly, she began to wonder how she was going to protect herself and her sister from the likes of Erik.
