Free Adjournment (The Fate Series) by Emersyn Vallis Page B

marker touch right above my breast and I am frozen in horror as the tip moves its way across my skin leaving a thick black marking behind.
    That motherfucker just signed his name to my chest!!! 
    Coming out of my haze, I snatch the marker out of his hand, twisting it around only to reveal the word PERMANENT. I stumble back in shock, trying to cover the new tattoo I’ve just been given. His playboy smirk falls from his face when his eyes meet mine.
     

 
    Here’s to wearing sunglasses at night…
     
    “Seriously? What is wrong with you?” I screech, frantically trying to pull away from the death grip he has locked my arm in.
    The eager women quickly swarm between us breaking his grip. I’m able to storm off without him trying to run after me.
    Not that I honestly think he would.
    I rush over to Jacob and Lexi, who are laughing with the rest of the crew. Fighting back the anger, I can feel the marker dig into my palm from my grip.  
    “What happened to you!?” Jacob screeches. “All my hard work, who-wait, does that say Davis?” Jacob yells sounding amused.
    My almost tears are soon replaced my anger and rage. “That bastard branded me!!!” 
    “Here he comes!” Jacob yells.
    “Sidney, I’m so sorry! Let me get that off for you,” GQ says, attempting to remove the ink with club soda.
    “I am not a dress, you moron!” I slap his hands away. Lexi gently places her hands over his.
    “Brett, maybe you should remove your hands from her before someone takes a photo. Sid, calm down. We’ll get it off. Let’s go and-”
    “It’s permanent marker!” I whine, holding out the marker that I stole off the dickhead.
    “Oh shit. Maybe we can—umm—let me Google this. You aren’t the first person to have marker on your skin.” She grabs her phone from her purse.
    “Don’t worry about it,” I mumble, waving my hands. “I’ll look it up when I get home. I’m going to leave; I want this off as soon as possible.” I wave my arms in front of myself.
    With a one-arm hug to Lexi, I turn to GQ, shoving the marker into his chest. “I believe you’re going to be needing this,” I growl.
    Not caring if anyone can see up my dress I make my way down the steps as fast as possible and head through the sea of bodies toward the exit. Pushing open the door to leave, the cool night air rushes toward me. 
    I didn’t realize how hot it was in there or how loud. There are people screaming and pointing at me.
    No… Not me… My chest… 
    Damn him!
    “Oh. My. God!!! Is Brett Davis in there!?” some girl yells out. 
    Like, OMG, is she crying?
    Don’t be a bitch to the little fan girl, Sidney.
    Nodding my answer I start to walk down the street away from the club. I turn back just in time to catch his stupid disguised-self from the corner of my eye walking out of the club behind me… WITH MY FRIENDS! With my head held high I strut over to everyone as Lexi sees me and yells something. But I’m not paying attention to her, I am out for revenge and no longer in control. As I get in front of GQ I stop.
    “I feel terrible, I was coming to look for you. Please let me make it up to you.” He places his hands on my arms.
    I place my hand on his chest and lean in close so he has to bend down to hear me. Wearing my sexiest smile I look into his eyes; his breathing stops, I watch as fear takes over his face.
    He has no idea what I’m even capable of…
    “Do you still have the marker?” I say in a deep sultry voice.
    He doesn’t say anything, just gives a slight nod. My smile widens.
    “Good. You’re going to need it, sweetheart.” I breathe my words in a way that even I don’t recognize.
    It kind of feels good to let the bitch out.
    My hand continues to slide up his chest to his neck while still staring into his eyes. Just as he starts to speak I reach up ripping off his hat and glasses. 
    Honestly glasses, who are you fooling? It’s nighttime.
    Before he can stop me I spin him to face his waiting crowd and yell
