"Just one more thing." Summer grabbed a red lipstick to match your sparkling dress. She smeared it on and smacked her lips for you to mirror. "You're gonna blow his mind."
You took a last look in the mirror before hurrying down the stairs to watch for your date’s car in the window. Summer followed.
"Where you going looking like the disco ball of a murder party?" Rick muttered as he stepped out of the garage and into the kitchen, leaning against the doorframe.
"Not that it's any of your business, but she's going on a super hot date with a super hot guy named Dan." Summer spat. You had no idea who she was trying to impress, it certainly couldn’t be Rick. He rolled his eyes and snapped your shoulder strap. You rubbed the sore skin and punched him in the arm.
"Dan. Should've guessed from the smell of cheap perfume and breath mints- oh hey if he pops your cherry you might finally chill the fuck out!"
"Oh my god, that's so gross!" Summer groaned and pushed you out of the room, opening the front door to reveal your date's car in the street. You could hear them fighting when the door shut.
Brushing it off, you hopped into the car. The date started fine with a movie and ended even better with a nice dinner and an invitation to his apartment. You eagerly accepted and followed him to his bedroom where he was already getting undressed. The two of you laughed when he pulled you into bed and as your bodies and lips were writhing around, you felt a spark of excitement. You wondered if Rick was watching, however far fetched and fucked up of an idea it was, it made your stomach jump.
"Hold on." Dan hopped off the bed and reached into his jean pocket. He pulled out his phone and held it up, the flash going off in your face. "Give me a smile?" Your body scrunched up as you gulped.
"Why are you taking pictures?"
"To show the guys, need proof to win." He began typing in his phone as you shot up and pulled your underwear back on. He didn’t seem to notice.
"What do you mean win?" The increased panic in your voice was probably the reason he looked back up.
"Oh shit, yeah we've got this bet on who can bed the most chicks. You were the 11th meaning..." he held his phone up to his face and flexed, "I wiiin."
"You get out." His phone started ringing, "You didn't actually think we were- hah, look at you and then look at me." He patted you on the shoulder. "Out of your league, slut."
Tears bloated and poured as he answered the phone enthusiastically, waving you away. Quickly scrounging up your clothes and bag, you slammed the door and ran down the staircase without caring about actually putting them on. As soon as your bare foot hit the grass your knees buckled. With your body moving on reflexes, you called the only person you could think of.
"What?" Rick mumbled into the phone, chewing on something. Your hands trembled so much you had to use both to keep the phone steady.
"Can you pick me up?" You managed to calm your breath enough to be coherent.
"Why, wasn't your hot date getting you home? Let me guess, it didn't go well? Take the bus."
"Rick... please" You sobbed loudly and suddenly. The other end of the phone was quiet for a moment.
"What happened?" His voice came through like a breath. Things clattered in the background and Beth asked where he was going. He told her he was going out, location unspecified.
"He- He used me to win a bet and now I'm outside his apartment in my underwear!" You cried and clutched your chest, covering up with your dress. The mascara dripping down your neck settled between the folds.; First time wearing it and it’s already stained.
"Fuck, alright I'll be right there. Don't hang up. I'm tracing your phone." You heard the calming sound of his ship starting up and the garage door creaking open.
"Alright, I see you." He finally announced after a few minutes and you spotted him descending above the trees. The ship tore the pavement in sparks and Rick jumped out, marching towards you. He cursed and wrapped his coat around you before looking you dead in the eyes and demanding the apartment number. You didn’t hesitate to tell him even before he threatened to burn the whole building down.
"Get in the ship.” He then addressed the machine, “Ship, Keep Y/N safe!" You did as told and watched the scene from inside. A silhouette passed Dan’s window, moving towards the front door. Then light from the hallway filled the room followed by Dan crashing through the window in a blue blast. You swore you could hear his bone crack when he landed.
"Help, oh my god help me!" He shrieked when Rick jumped down from the window. His shoes let out a small shock wave as he landed gracefully next to the screaming man.
"Shut the fuck up!" Rick roared and stomped him square in the chest before pulling out his portal gun, shooting it beneath Dan and just like that the screaming stopped.
"What did you do?" You stammered when he hopped into the ship.
Rick wiped his brow. "Isn't it obvious? I blew up his shit-cave and sent him to a dimension of Loobas. Oh and I sent a virus to all his dickhead friends that spawns a wild dingle-doober, should take care of them." He curved off the sidewalk and lifted into the sky as you clutched the seat. You never really got used to flying in what was basically a modified trashcan.
"Thank you, I didn't think you'd care." You confessed to which he rolled his eyes.
"It's not just about you, I can't stand shit for brains like that. If I get a chance to take one out, I'm doing it. Trust me, they don't change. Got a lot of experience with guys like that."
"You dated a fuckboy?" Your tounge slipped.
"I was the fuckboy. The biggest dick of them all, that's why you gotta trust me on this one. Don't think about it. Whatever he might have said or done, you're better than that. Better than most."
You managed a chuckle, feeling your body come back to you and as you watched him focus on the sky, you realized something. You had convinced yourself that you could move on from your feelings for Rick with someone else, but you were just digging deeper. You wanted to make him see you, maybe even make him jealous. As fucked up as tonight had been, you felt warm knowing Rick was just a phone call away. And he actually cared, if only enough to kick the shit out of someone for you.
Maybe that was all you could hope for. Maybe that was enough.
