Free Dangerous Kiss by Jackie Collins

because he was pissed she hadn't confided in him.
    Jeez! How many people did she have to check in with before she made a move?
    She slid into her seat beside Gino, just as the David Foster-produced show commenced. The MC was the adorable and very funny Howie Mandel, who was set to introduce talented singer and producer, Baby Face, the scintillating Natalie Cole, and finally Price Washington, the superstar comedian. Quite a line-up.
    Lucky settled back to enjoy the entertainment.

Chapter Seventeen
    Fuck, she drove fast! The boy had a strong urge to throw up, his stomach couldn't take it. But he managed to control the feeling, because barfing all over her would not be a cool move, and tonight he was determined to make her realize he was cool - in spite of all her criticisms. He'd been away in New York for eighteen months, back for ten days, and this was the first time she'd taken any notice of him. Bitch! But he'd get her attention tonight. Oh, yeah! He'd get her attention big time.
    'Where we goin' now?' he asked.
    'Cruisin',' she replied vaguely. 'Lookin' for an opportunity.'
    'An opportunity for what?'
    'For whatever comes along, jerk,' she said, throwing him a disdainful look.
    He had no clue what she was talking about. But who cared? This was good. He was with her. He'd forgotten all about his controlling father, who was more than likely pissed that he hadn't turned up for their early dinner. So what? He didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. And that included graduating high school and going on to college. His dad had never attended college, so why did he have to? His plan was to get out and enjoy himself, not be stuck in some boring classroom learning useless crap for several more years.
    The girl raced the jeep towards a yellow light, trying to make it. Too late. The light turned red and she pulled up with a sharp jerk.
    It occurred to him that maybe he should fasten his seatbelt. But no, she'd think he was stupid if he did that. Stupid and afraid.
    'I gotta take a piss!' he mumbled, feeling the urge.
    'What?' she said.
    'Gotta go t' the John.'
    'Jesus H,' the girl said excitedly. 'Take a look at the diamonds on that bitch in the car next to us.'
    Now he knew for sure he had to take a leak immediately. There was no waiting.
    'Take a look,' the girl repeated, speaking low and fast.
    He leaned across her, peering into the neighbouring car. He saw a pretty black woman sitting in the passenger seat of a silver Porsche. She had on a low-cut dress, diamond necklace and sparkling earrings.
    'So?' he said.
    'So,' the girl said, looking around and observing they were the only two vehicles on the street. 'We're gonna take 'em.'
    'Take 'em where?' he asked blankly.
    'You're so fucking stupid,' she spat in disgust. 'We're gonna take her necklace and earrings an' make ourselves big bucks.'
    'No way,' he scoffed, sure she was joking.
    'Wanna get your dick sucked?' she said.
    His eyes bugged. 'Huh?'
    'You heard. 'Cause if you're chicken, I ain't doin' it.'
    Jesus! She was serious. 'Sure,' he said quickly, before she changed her mind.
    'Then all you gotta do is wave the gun at them, an' order the bitch to give you her stuff.'
    'You're crazy,' he said, swallowing hard. 'I can't do that.'
    'Okay, okay, we'll both do it,' she said. 'There's no one around, we're alone on the street. C'mon, asshole, if we don't act now we won't get another opportunity.'
    He couldn't think straight. His mind was totally fogged out and he wanted to pee more than anything else. But, still, the fact that she'd offered to suck his dick…
    Suddenly the girl hit the accelerator, swerving the jeep in front of the stationary Porsche, blocking it. 'Move!' she yelled, opening the door. 'Gimme the fucking gun.'
    Blindly he groped for the gun stuck in his belt, and thrust it at her. She jumped out of the jeep and ran around to the passenger side of the Porsche, waving the gun in the air. He trailed behind her.
