No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Jimmy's face went from pale to tomato red at my words. "What the heck? Don't insult me. We're square, end of story."

Seeing him so annoyed yet trying to keep his cool made my day a little brighter.

I took a step forward, and he hastily stepped back, crossing his arms, looking like I was the big bad wolf to his Little Red Riding Hood. I couldn't help but laugh, "What, scared I'll do something? Look at you, all scaredy-cat. I'm just curious why you've suddenly turned into such a goody two-shoes around me?"

"Is being good a bad thing now? Unless you were hoping I'd be..." Jimmy cut himself off, "Don't try to bait me. And keep your distance, I'll start recording to prove it."

His cowardly stance made me snort with laughter. "Out with it. What did Dustin do to tame you?"

Jimmy avoided my gaze, mumbling, "I don't know what you're talking about. Move, I've got things to do."

I blocked his way with a leg, saying, "Quit playing dumb. I know you're in Dustin's pocket now. You wouldn't even sell out your own sister otherwise." Jimmy's face flushed deeper.

I gave him a once-over; he was decked out in designer gear. I understood when Haley was swiping Conrad's card for him, but those days were gone.

So, his current get-up had to be courtesy of Dustin.

He and Haley were peas in a pod, clinging to others for their lavish lifestyle, just another pair of parasites from the Wagner family.

"If you want to know, go ask Dustin," Jimmy blurted out, unable to stand my scrutiny.
