Shadows In Durango

Chapter 29

*****Sofia's POV*****

It was now an hour until my shift starts at Intensity and I felt stressed to say the least.

Vincent was taking his time to get organised, claiming that there was no rush considering he owns the place but I still don't want to let Tito down. Not on my second night!

Daryl still hadn't returned, which I was somewhat grateful for however I needed my keys back in order to get home later after work...

We still had to drop Emma back home too, since her parents were starting to worry that she had been out last night and all of today which was understandably unheard of for her since she didn't attend parties.

I also didn't want them thinking that I, her new friend of a couple of days, was already a bad influence on her. I really wasn't trying to cause harm or upset to anybody in town - especially not to Emma who had been my rock this past few days. "Vincent... we need to drop Emma on the way there too remember." I politely add, watching him manoeuvre around the house grabbing his jacket and keys at snails pace.

"Don't you think I already know that? Why are you rushing me? Calm it!" He snaps, evidently irritated by my anxiety on running late.

I was never late to anything, I couldn't help it... there was nothing worse than being the last to walk in somewhere with all eyes on you!

Remaining quiet, he eventually heads for the front door as myself and Emma follow him out like strays - approaching his fancy car once again.

The same car he had rescued and kissed me in last night...

I swallow hard at the memory, climbing in to the passenger seat as he revs the engine to life.

He puts the car into drive and takes off down the road at high speed whilst pulling his belt across him at the same time - only stopping for a moment until the electric gates open for him to pass through.

He puts the foot down once more as I clutch my own seatbelt for dear life. We start heading towards the address Emma had given him - watching as he switches on the radio as opposed to making small talk which I was actually thankful for. "Uh... um Vincent..." Emma speaks up from in the back, as we approach her street, causing him to glance back at her in the mirror.
