A because, for the first time in weeks, I've done what she wants She’s pretty with her bleached hair and dark eyeliner, but she knows that Her confidence is what caught o when she came onto me Too bad she’s crazier than a sprayed roach “You haven’t been returning my calls”
“And?” I’d block her nuically illiterate, like Mom, but every tirades both his andI don’t kno to use, but it makes him happy so I don’t complain I’m not a lost cause; I can text, read emails, and work the four apps I use daily, but that’s about as far as oes
“And…” As we need to discuss”
“We” I pointYou…” I point at her, “need to leave me alone”
I turn and grab the handle of the break roorowing in her stoether, twice, with condoms, and she is supposed to be on the pill I’m more likely to win the lotto than to spawn a child with those odds Besides, Amanda is about as well known around town as Kelly is, and it ain’t for her good looks
“This baby is com

“Until I seestore ones, leave me the fuck alone We’re done” I step into the bar and slam the door behind me, not that anyone can hear my tantrum over the music
I stop at the bar before going back up to the pool tables I need a drink and possibly a restraining order The bartender handsmy elbows on the counter I take a sip and al past me What the fuck?
I wasn’t gone long, ten h time for Layla to slip into souy’s hand on her back that’s got h her hair It’s his lips, pressed against hers, that et we’re at a bar and not a mudhole back home
I pushpeople out ofa fels and snide remarks Someone even reaches for my shoulder, but I brush them off because all I can see is the back of Layla’s head, no longer kissing the person in front of her, and the top of the dude’s blonde locks
I reach the her out of the way because this guy is about to die I ball nize the crooked nose and shit-eating-grin “You son-of-a-bitch”
Sa, when I shove hih”
“What the fuck?” I yell at neither of theht Layla was different She ignored irl out there was spreading her legs as soon as a good looking dick caure out why I’ him?”
