EroticReverie

Calypso "Callie" 

I throw my thrifted leggings on, and by thrifted, I mean stolen, because I cant remember the last time my mother cared enough to cloth me properly, so Ive been stealing from thrift stores since I was a child. I pull on tight long sleeved black shirt that fits too small, and hugs everything too tight, but I also throw on a black hoodie that fits snug too. I pull on my ratty sneakers, knowing I need to get myself a new pair soon. Then I leave, ignoring my mother and tourniquet on her arm as Marcus sit there, needle in hand, ready to shoot her up. 

"Want me to do you next?" Marcus grins as he flicks his finger against the syringe and I snarl. I look at my mother as she slaps her arm trying to find a vein she hasnt already killed. I say nothing, and walk out the front door. 

"Hey baby" Will says hanging out of his beat up honda, slapping his hand on the side of it. I roll my eyes. 

"I told you not to fucking call me that." I glare at him as I walk up to the car. 

"Get in the back." I say to Xavier who is sitting in the front smoking a cigarette. 

"You always get shot gun." he scowls. 

"Cause she's got a hot ass, get in the back." Will says. 

"Fuck you both." I say as they laugh and Xavier rolls his eyes, and opens the door. 

"You sure do kiss her ass for being in the friend zone man." Xavier says and I give him a little shove. 

"You're both in the asshole zone, and you'll never fuckin get out of it." I say as Will laughs and I get in front passenger side as Xavier tells the girls in the back to move over, pulling one of them onto his lap. 

"Hey" Will says with a smile as I pull my seatbelt on. 

"Drive." I say and he laughs. 

"Ah!" Xaiver yells as Will takes over as he's still pulling the door shut, the girls squeal in the back and then Will is reaching over and placing his hand on my knee. I shove it off. 

"No." I say to him and give him a glare and he shrugs, and puts his hand back on the wheel. 

"One day" he smirks and my skin crawls. I know Will is harmless, he'd never hurt me or touch me or do anything bad to me. Was he a shameless flirt? Yes. Was it at times annoying? Yes. But it's the fact he says the same words as Marcus that make every inch of my skin crawl. 

Will  and Xavier were just a few of the guys I'd grown up with in West Falls, along with the girls in the back. We were all from the wrong side of the Falls. Poor families. Shitty families. Absuive families. Drug addicted, alcoholic parents, and most of us following in their footsteps, finding solace in the escape that drugs provided. But not me. Not Will. Not Xavier. Were we good kids? No. Definitely not. But drugs werent are thing. We occaisonally drank, but that was it. Will and Xaviers parents were just as bad as mine. The fat lip Will is sporting tells me he got into it with his dad again. But I dont say anything, because that's not what we do. We don't fuss over each others hardships or the shitty hands we've been dealt. If we cant handle it, we'll tell each other, and we'll all be there to help handle it. Do whatever it takes. But so far, we've handled our shit. But still my finger wants to reach out and touch the fat lip just to let him know I care. 

"There's a new guy racing tonight." Will says. 

"I heard." I say as I take out a few hundred dollar bills from my hoodie jacket and push them into his hand. 

We didn't race. We couldn't. Because we didn't have mommy and daddy money to deck out cars with , or even fucking buy a decent one. But, we did like to bet on the rich fucks that raced. It was easy money, if we won. 

We make our way to East Falls, from West falls. The streets pots holes slowly disappearing, the streets becoming cleaner, better lit, and the houses become further apart, and larger. There's no boarded up windows, or crack dens or abandonned houses where girls get raped and homeless people squat. Must be nice. I know money doesnt solve everything, but it sure would solve a fucking lot for me if I had some. 

We pull into the grass on the long stretch of road where the race starts. 

"Don't go getting into trouble." Will says as we all start to get out, but he's talking to me. 

"Who? Me?" I smirk over my shoulder as I get out. 

The fact that they can shut down a road for a race, without cop interference is typical East Fall elitest bullshit. The cops dont blink an eye at what the rich kids do on this side of the Falls. Neither do their parents. Because any problem they have, they just sprinkle some money on it and it disappears. 

Will walks around the car and slings his arm over my shoulder, pulling me to walk beside him. I allow it, walking with him as people stand about near their cars, or near the road, talking, smoking, some drinking, twenty different songs blaring from ridiculous speaker systems, the bass making the air vibrate and the ground hum under my feet. 

We pass people like us, here from West falls, because we don't normally come around here, because we're never welcome. Unless it's for street night. If there's a chance to take money from their rivals, then they'll do it. It's crazy how highschool rivalry carries on, even when they're out of highschool. The stupid little war of the East and West sides of the falls, has been going on for generations, and apparently they all carry their hate for the opposite side, past graduation and into their early adult life. But that's what happens when people dont understand each other I guess. They'd never understand the shit we went through, or the pain of an empty stomach, or no heat in winter. Not that rich people had picture perfect lives, I knew that alot of these homes were just fronts, nice on the outside, living nightmares on the inside. I knew that there were probably rich girls with pervert step dads just like mine. Knew that money didnt keep a father from beating his wife or his kids. I knew that no matter which pay class you fell in, a happy life wasnt a guarantee. 

"nice car" a girl huffs a laugh, and everyone just ignores her. An East Falls girl, that snickers with her petty friends. 

Xavier comes up around the other side of me, throwing his arm over me too, and I just smile at him and shake my head as we keep walking.

"Knew she was screwing them both." a girl says and I still ignore it, as we keep walking. Let them think what they want. 

"There she is." a familiar voice calls as we get closer to the nicer cars, the ones racing. I roll my eyes at the sound of the male voice.

"Caaaalypsoooo" Derrick says my name, drawing it out like it's a mating call. Gross. 

The girls around him give me a dirty look as he walks over and he nods to Will and Xavier. 

Derrick was one of the best racers, it wasnt often he didnt win. He was also a rich entitled prick, that felt the need to cat call me any chance he could get , and hit on me relentlessly. And my dumbass, had been stupid enough to let him kiss me one time after a few beers a few months back, when I'd stayed behind at the street race, because I didnt want to go to home that night. It had been the night after I'd cut Marcus. We'd made out and there was heavy petting of his hands through my shirt, but it didnt go farther than that. Yet, rumors had spread, and suddently, I'd been fucked over the hood of his car in front of a group of people. And Derrick had done nothing to deny the rumors. 

"Stick around tonight. I've missed you." he winks. I roll my eyes. 

"Pass." I say and Will and Xavier chuckle and I shrug their arms off me and then keep walking. 

"Cmon, dont be like that" Derrick calls after me.

"Ew Derrick" a girl says. "Quit simping for the trash." 

Other girls laugh and agree and I just keep walking, interested in checking out the new guy. Apparently he was new to East Falls, and his family had more money than god. I wanted to see him, get a look at him, his car, and see if he was worth putting money on. Rumor has it that he's competed plenty in own town, and traveled to compete in others, and they say he's just as good as Derrick, if not better. But we all know how unreliable rumors are. 

There's a corvette, shiny, all black. I couldnt tell you what year , I dont know that much about cars, just that this one...is sexy. I walk around it, other people standing near it, near the cars parked near by on the street. I circle it slowly and turn my head as a deep voice speaks.

"hey Blackbird." the voice says. 

A six foot five guy, with black hair and blue eyes and beautiful white teeth that make me want to write a letter to his dentist and commend his work. 

"What?" my brows pinch as he walks closer and he licks his lips before smiling again. He's wearing dark jeans, and short sleeve black shirt. He's not dressed like other East Falls guys. Sure his pants and shirt are probably designer, but there's not logos to flaunt just how much money he has. 

He smiles and nods to me. 

"Black hair, black hoodie, black pants, black sneakers, and cute. Like a bird. Blackbird." he says and then walks to his car. 

"Don't call me cute." I say, and he looks over his shoulder.

"No?" he cocks a brow. 

"How about pretty then?" he flashes his smile. 

"OR you could call me by my name instead of deducing me to just my looks." 

He smiles. "Alright Blackbird. What's your name then?" 

Do not flirt with him Calypso. Do NOT. He's an East Falls guy, you're only going to make yourself look stupid. 

"Blackbird." I say. 

The corner of his mouth lifts. 

"mhm" he says and then opens his car door. 

"Wanna make a bet with me Blackbird?" he asks and I can't help the fact i'm intrigued. Maybe it's his height, or his black hair, his blue eyes, or those teeth and that smile, or the the biceps on him. 

"what kind of bet?" I ask with a cock of my head as I walk closer and peek inside the open door. He steps aside and lets me look. 

"If I win tonight...I get your name... and a kiss." he says. 

I turn my head and look up at him.

"And if you lose?" I ask , standing there, and cross my arms, and look up at him. 

"I won't." he says confidently, his soft looking lips curving into a smile. 

"Calypso!" Will yells, and I jerk my head to him waving me over about a dozen cars down.

"Calypso?" he asks, and I turn my head back to him. He smiles, his teeth showing. "That your name?" 

I narrow my eyes at him. 

"Fuck. That's hot." he says and I feel my nipples get hard at the rough way he bites out his words through his teeth. 

"Well, you got my name, didn't even have to win the race. Congrats." I say with a shrug. 

"Can I have the kiss now too then?" he asks with a smirk. 

"You know I'm from West Falls, right? Wanting to kiss me can seriously ruin your reputation if you're not careful." I say. 

"dont give a shit where you're from Blackbird...I just want to kiss the prettiest girl here when I win." he says. I suck in a breath. 

"oh you're good." I say shaking my head at him. "such a smooth talker, I bet that works well for you, doesnt it?" 

He shrugs. "You tell me...we got a bet?" he says as he licks his lips again. 

"Derrick always wins." I tell him.  "What do I get when you lose?" 

He smirks. "Again, I'm not going to lose." 

I just cock a brow, and wait, crossing my arms and looking up at him.

"Fine, what do you want if I lose Blackbird?" he asks and crosses him arms too, matching my stance.

"I want to drive your car." I say and he huffs.

"Nobody drives my car." he says. 

I shrug. "If you never lose, whats the big deal?" I smirk. 

He licks his teeth, his eyes flicking down and back up, like im wearing a bra and panties in front of him or something. 

"Alright Blackbird. It's a bet. I win, that mouth of yours goes right here." He taps his lips. I just roll my eyes. 

"And if I win...my ass..goes there." I point to his drivers seat. He smiles. 

"Dont make my lap so jealous Blackbird."

I just shake my head, fighting a small laugh.

"It's a bet...stranger." I say, realizing I don't know his name. 

"Bane." he says. 

"Hm?" I hum.

"My name, Blackbird. Is Bane." 

"Bane Blackstone." he says with a small smile. 

"Yeah. That fits." I say. 

The corner of his mouth lifts.

"Is that good or bad?" he half laughs. 

"I'll let you know when I'm driving your car later ..Bane." I say and turn and walk off. 

"Making my lap jealous again Blackbird." he says and I whip my head around and he lifts his eyes from my ass to my eyes and winks. I throw him the middle finger. He lifts his hand as if I'm blowing him a kiss and catches it, and tucks into his pocket. The corner of my mouth lifts and I just shake my head and walk over to Will and Xavier.
