There, in the little Italian restaurant, I see the Mayor and his wife, with Law, and a leggy blonde who I’ve never seen before They’re all sitting at a table together, and Law is holding the blonde’s hand Like he feels lassand lean against the brick building, trying to getwork shit, ht? Suddenly, I feel like his dirty little secret Law never takes me out to dinner, nor does he even talk about his fae that he’s the Mayor’s son, I would’ve never known

It burns Holy shit, does it fucking burn I push the tears back and shake off the hurt, going with anger instead I was about to go get lingerie for his ass and set up so shit fro it in his Tell hiames, that I wanted to be there

Stupid Stupid Stupid

My phone buzzes in my back pocket, and I see I have two texts One fro me while he’s on a date? A date he took to rit my teeth and click on Butch’s text

Butch: See your car in the bar parking lot Where you at?

Me: Be there in five

I cross the street, not wanting to walk right in front of the restaurant again, then head towards the bar I can’t stopto see what Law said

"You look fit to be tied" I look up to see Butch and Paine waiting fortalk about it" My voice is firm but holds a little etting it That’s the great thing about having s to death You say, "Conversation over," and it wraps up pretty quickly

Butch and I follow Paine in, and I can tell Paine is in just as much of a pissy mood as I am The only one who looks like soot a stupid easy s, Jake the bartender slides us our drinks, and I quickly grab ht

"There’s a bachelorette party happening here tonight if you guys are looking for so me roll my eyes as I take ht direction, Jake You know I’ for soives the crowd a once-over as Jake points towards the dance floor

Not being able to help er to see who Butch’s prey for the night will be
