Be My Bad Boy

In the end, he'd convinced me to watch some Korean drama. I didn't care. Anything to just veg out on the couch was fine in my book. It was a bit of a pain to read the subtitles at first, but after the first episode, I really had to watch the next one to see what would happen.
"It's so predictable," I said. "The dumb girl is going to end up with the bad-ass guy in the end, isn't she?"
"So, you don't want to watch any more?"
"Hell yeah, I want to watch more. It's like crack cocaine."
He laughed.


"The evil chick might be evil but she has the best hair. And the best clothes. I'd totally date the evil chick. Would I look good with that hair?"
Jinxx nodded and grabbed a handful of M&Ms.

"And the nice guy, he has really good cheekbones. She should totally pick him. He has better genes for babies."
"Is that important?"
"Hey, no one wants an ugly baby."

Our laughter got cut short by a crash at the door. Andy was home. I could smell the whiskey on him before he even got into the room. Then I heard a high-pitched giggle.
A woman in a tatty red fake fur coat followed him in. She had hair that had been bleached to a strawy frizz, and red lipstick smudged across her mouth.

"Oh, Andy, there are people here," she shrieked as she came into the room. "Hope I'm not disturbing anything."
She threw herself on the chair, her legs flopping over the arm.
"Get me something to drink, will ya?"
I sat up straight on the couch. Andy came over and sat on the other arm of her chair putting his arm around her.

My stomach spun out of control, like I was going to be sick. I didn't know who she was but they were obviously very close. All that time he'd been looking after me and making sure I was okay, he’d just been being nice, obviously. Probably making sure that I'd be well enough to call the record company guy and get down to business. If this woman was his type, he must have no interest in me because I was nothing like her at all. She reeked of cheap perfume mixed with booze and bad fashion.
Jinxx had sat up straight too, obviously feeling awkward with them.

"Eh, what's this shit?" She grabbed the remote off the coffee table and turned the DVD off. "Put on some music. You guys need to learn to party. We need something loud."
"We were watching that," said Jinxx in a soft voice, but she ignored him. He exchanged glances with me, rolling his eyes.

Andy went into the kitchen and returned with two glasses of red wine, handing her one.
"Aren't you guys drinking?"
She spun around to look at us, slopping red wine on the floor as she moved. The muscles in Jinxx's face spasmed just slightly. Not enough that anyone else noticed but me.
Andy leaned over, resting his arm on her shoulder. She stroked his leg and whispered something in his ear. They both giggled.

Now they were really making me sick. She play-slapped him.
"Oh baby, you shouldn't say things like that.”
She looked at me as if to imply they were talking about me.
I tried to ignore her and talk to Jinxx but could barely speak over the sound of her screeching laugh. She'd kicked her shoes off and her skirt had ridden up her legs so that she was practically showing her underwear.
"Can you call for a cab?" I asked Jinxx. "I think I need to go home."
"You don't have to. I'm sorry for that." He looked over at the chick.
"No need for you to apologise." I smiled at him. "You've been wonderful, cooking me dinner and watching dramas with me."

He smiled and gave me that strange look again.
"Yo, Hannah, get me a top up will you?" Andy held his wine glass out to me. "You're our manager after all. You should earn your keep."
I gave him a withering look but he just laughed. It was like he was going out of his way to be as obnoxious to me as he possibly could.
