I would be, too, had I been caught doing what he’d been doing in those pictures

“Excuse o around Tantor

Tantor grabbed rabbed my other

I obviously ith the enemy I knew rather than the one that I didn’t and would’ve likely hidden behind Linc’s back had Tantor let o

I twisted my wrist hard and took the man by surprise

The moment I was free, I moved until I was behind Linc

His big body felt reassuring, and I wanted nothing more than to throw my arms around him

But then I saw that he was still wearing what he’d been wearing when he left—those stupid blue goddaray tee—and remembered where those clothes had been

I took a step back, and another, and another, not realizing it until it was too late that I’d left Linc and Tantor alone—or at least alone enough for Linc to feel justified in taking a swing at Tantor without fear ofin the way

I gasped when he did it, wincing slightly when Linc’s fist connected with Tantor’s jaw, and he went down like a sack of potatoes

The moment his body hit the concrete, I felt Linc’s attention turn toward me

“You didn’t answer your phone,” he accused

I laughed then

“Neither did you” I paused “Which is funny I guess you were busy doing that girl instead ofwith FaithSports Was this just soent just so you could have a reason to leave?”

I said it so cal a short conversation about the weather—not about the photos of hi splashed all over the internet

“And just so you know, I’ to kill you”

Linc bent over and threw up

That’s when I decided it was time to leave

“No!” Linc moaned “Please wait”

I viciously ripped rowled “Leavehome”

“I’ with you,” he said “We really need to talk”

I laughed then

“You’re fucking out of yourafter what I saw today” I laughed “Out of yourto mine Thank God that I didn’t move in with you”
