My man.He’s mine. Holy fuck, he’s mine.

Wait, is he mine? He said I was his and he was mine, but does that mean we are dating now? Does one of us need to ask to make it official?

Now is not the time to overthink. I’ll deal with that later.

“These.” He hands me... a carton of eggs?

Closing the door behind him, he buckles up and pulls out of the gas station parking lot.

“Eggs...” I blink down at him, really confused. “Are you hungry or something? I know you're a bottomless pit, but this is really odd.”

The laugh that shakes his body has me smiling through my confusion.

“What?”

“You’ll see.” The look he gives me is pure mischief.

“I don’t think I like that look.” I groan.

“Trust me, you’re going to love this.”

Because I do indeed trust him, I let this man drive me out of town into the middle of nowhere.

“You’re not bringing me out here to murder me, are you?” I question him.

“If I was going to do that, what would I need the eggs for?” he asks, grinning over at me.

“I don’t know. You’re the odd ball here.”

“Yeah, but you like me anyway.” He shoots me a wink, laughing before bringing his attention back to the road.

Yeah, yeah I do.

We start to slow down and my brows rise when he shuts the lights off, while the car is moving.

“Cooper, what is going on?”

“Okay. You need to do as I tell you, okay?” He brings the car to a stop, but keeps the engine running.

“Oh god. You’re not here to kill me, but brought me here to kill someone else, didn't you?” I look out the window to see a few cars lined up. People are mulling around them, their headlights shining out over the hill, the only light around them.

“Nope. No one is dying tonight. But, put this on.” He reaches into the back and pulls out two ski masks.

“Yeah. Because this is making me believe you.” I stare at the mask.

He shoves his own over his head. “Come on.” He laughs.

“If we get arrested, I’m throwing you under the bus, I hope you know that,” I grumble, shoving the mask over my head.

I won’t. I’d hate myself if I did. Knowing me, I’d take all the blame to protect him and I don’t even know what we’re doing.

“We’re not going to get arrested. Well, not if you do as I tell you.”

“Cooper,” I hiss.

“Relax.” He laughs. “Okay, now put half the eggs in your pocket.”

“What?”
