Free Taurus: Book 3 in a Young Adult Paranormal Romance Series (The Zodiac Twin Flame Series) by Rachel Medhurst

my head. I pushed it down.
    ‘Are you going to ring Sophie?’
    I chewed my lip as I debated her suggestion. If I rang Sophie, she would worry and tell the others. If I didn’t tell the others, I might have to stay locked up in the flat with Kerry forever. Aries would kill me when he found out what I had done.
    ‘Let’s just chill out here for a bit. I’m sure they’ll get bored soon and go.’
    I hoped Kerry was right. She crossed her short legs and drummed her fingers on her plump thigh. Her blue eyes glanced at me when I didn’t respond.
    ‘Sounds good,’ I said, going to the fridge. ‘There’s no beer,’ I whined, checking the cupboards.
    ‘You could probably do with a break from all that,’ Kerry chastised.
    I glared at the back of her head as I came back into the living area. She glanced up and caught me. Her eyebrows rose but she didn’t say anything.
    ‘Cup of tea, then?’ I offered.
    ‘I doubt there’s any milk.’
    Rolling my shoulders, I slumped on the sofa next to her. No booze. No tea. At least I had a joint.
    ‘Want to share?’ I asked, pulling it out of my pocket and lighting it.
    She waved the smoke away, pretending to cough. ‘No, I don’t! Put it out!’
    ‘Don’t be such a spoilsport,’ I said, poking her in the ribs.
    If I had to be holed up with an uptight woman, I needed to smoke my gear. I started to relax into a normal state as I puffed on the joint.
    ‘Why don’t you try ringing Cancer?’
    She must have been psychic. I wondered if she was, although I didn’t believe that anyone could be. The thought had just come to me when she’d said it. My phone was tucked away. It burst into tune as I dug it out.
    ‘Hello…’
    ‘Taurus, where are you? We were almost arrested, but they let us off. The police got some of Nick’s men. We pretended that we were tourists.’
    At least Cancer wasn’t in any danger.
    ‘Where are you?’ I asked her, going to the window to make sure my stalkers were still stationed across the road. They were.
    ‘Matt’s taking me home. Where are you?’
    It suddenly hit me how impossible her situation was. ‘Cancer, he’s married,’ I said into the phone.
    Why had I even got involved with her problems? I had enough of my own. It wasn’t like we had ever been close either. I wasn’t close with any of my siblings, let alone one of the most sensitive ones. I always hurt her feelings without meaning to.
    ‘I know. Don’t worry, we needed to clear the air. We’ve spoken, and he’s going back to his wife. I can’t be in love with someone that’s taken.’
    She sounded so convincing. I breathed a sigh. At least I didn’t need to worry about the others finding out about our little escapade.
    ‘Did you know that most men nearing forty go through a midlife crisis? That’s probably why Matt fancies you,’ I said to reassure her.
    ‘He’s thirty one, not forty!’ Cancer said.
    ‘Nah, he’s got to be forty. He’s like a dirty old man, isn’t he? Although, I quite like an older woman.’ I turned back to the room.
    Kerry stood with her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. Chuckling, I cringed when abuse was hurled at me down the phone and in the room.
    ‘Okay, okay…just shut up,’ I said, quietening the women.
    They must have been premenstrual.
    ‘Just get home as quickly as you can,’ Cancer said before hanging up the phone.
    I wanted to get home. I needed to see Sophie to release some tension. I wasn’t sure how I would escape. I was trapped in a flat with guards outside, ready to shoot me on sight.
     

Chapter Ten
     
    ‘How much longer will they stand out there?’ Kerry asked from the window.
    ‘Don’t lift the net curtain, they might see you.’
    She looked at me pointedly. ‘Do you think I’m that stupid?’
    It was nearing midnight. I had run out of weed. Booze hadn’t magically appeared and I really wanted a hit of coke.
    ‘We can’t stay here all night.’ Kerry paced the room, yet again.
    I thought Nick’s
