Chapter 21Adam
I started glancing back and forth between Steve and the girl with crazy hair behind the counter. f**k, it felt like I was being accused of some horrible crime. Just for being who I am? Well, s**t!
Steve looked like he was in total shock and didn’t start making any introductions, so I turned to the rainbow girl.
“Yep, I’m Adam Baxter.” I smiled and extended my hand toward her.
She flinched back away from me, just like Steve had done that first night in the green room at the convention.
Well f**k, I guess the big, overgrown troll was scaring the s**t outta her too.
“And you are…?” I asked softly.
“Oh, uh, I’m El,” she muttered as she quickly shook my hand before jerking away again. “El Ferguson.”
“L?” I asked. “You mean, like the letter of the alphabet?”
A silly grin
