Chapter 114

??Hey! I ain??t into all that lovey-dovey shit,?? the youth had said, pulling away.

??Sorry, I just wanted to????

??Not with me, mate. I??ll give ya a blowjob if ya like, but I don??t do no hugging and kissing.??

Unsatisfied both emotionally and sexually, Joey had slunk away from the toilet stall.

Joey had given serious consideration to trying to win Kevin back, but did he have the right? He knew he??d be perfectly prepared to crawl on his hands and knees if necessary. But to Kevin such behaviour would be too reminiscent of that bastard, Cal. Each time Briggs had dished out a beating, Kevin had told Joey he??d offer an abject apology, assuring Kevin he??d never do it again.

??And like a fool you always believed him, and went back to him,?? Joey said, looking at his haggard appearance in the bathroom mirror.
