Each rustle, vehicle, and sound had you glancing behind you. Why? Because you chose to slip away after your father went to sleep. "Sick n' tired of bein' treated like a child." Those were the words you expressed to your dad, and what was his reaction? A hearty laugh. Point taken.

You felt that you had acted as the 'preacher's daughter' for far too long; you craved to live life like everyone else. Thus, when you learned about a new juke joint opening in the area, you jumped at the opportunity.. After praying diligently that you wouldn't be caught, perhaps you weren't acting after all.

"What in the hell are you doin' here?" Cornbread folded his arms.

You inhaled deeply, crossing your legs, "For the same reason as everyone else." He tilted his head, lips pressed into a thin line. You let out a sigh, "I'm an adult, Cornbread," fiddling with your boa, "..Please?" He appeared ready to decline, yet he straightened up, "Ooh." He crossed his legs, "Fine, but you—stay here for a bit, keep an eye on the door."

You took his place as he walked away toward the trees.

"Hello, Miss," a man said, causing you to lift your head at the voice. Someone you didn't recognize stood before you. Your eyebrows knitted together as you took him in; he certainly appeared out of place here.

"...Hi." You moved from your position against the wall. “Who…?” you hesitated, “The name’s Remmick,” he replied with a grin. Silence lingered between you both. “You gon jus' stand there, or let me in?” he asked, tilting his head slightly.

"I- Uh... I have to ask,” You started to pivot when he placed his hand against the doorframe, “Ah, ah. This is just between us, not the others.” He shook his head, leaning in so that his breath brushed against your face. “You’re a grown woman, aren’t you?” he teased. You inhaled sharply at his inquiry, nodding.

"Then you can make your own decisions." He glanced over at the party beside you, "Jus' like you will right now." his eyes found yours once again.

"Should I beg, baby?" Eyes sweeping over you. "I would—just for you." His tongue glided across his lower lip.
