I leave the the happy hour crowd I should have left thirty o but ht about leaving Sienna with this much of a crowd I know I shouldn’t feel jealous when I see Lucas and a few of his buddies circling around Hattie and Kiesha like vultures but I do Not because I think Hattie would do anything but because he wants what is h his fat skull that she doesn’t want hi around her He shows up at the coffee shop she works at all the damn time like a loser stalker

I see Hattie tense and flinch, shrinking ahen he leans in close to her, trying to whisper soe look and shakes her head at what he is saying Kiesha gives me an odd look as well What in the fuck did he just say to her?

Cassie co ?”

I see Hattie stor towards the bathroo close behind her Lucas looks at Cassie and rab a table Cassie doesn’t answerand livid I need to find out what in the hell that fucker did, but I can’t leave Sienna on her oith this et as iving her orders to Sienna instead Suits me just fine, I don’t want to serve that dicklick and his friends

My replaceed fro bad, if she is this upset I don’t even bother to count ht to the women’s room to see what has her so upset

I knock on the door softly and Kiesha pokes her head out When she sees that it is me, she steps aside and leaves me in the bathroom alone with Hattie “Wanna tell ?”

“Were you going to tell me?”

“Tell you what?” I ask confused as she blows her nose

“About Cassie,” she says as though I should knohat in the hell that means

“You already know that I have slept with her, what o to hug her, and she takes a step back from me

“What the fuck, baby? I haven’t done anything wrong Maybe you should try talking toaboutpissed Lucas, that fucker tells her so and she immediately believes hi me I won’t be with someone who doesn’t trust iven her any reason to doubthere”

“I know you fucked her but ere you going to tell nant with your baby?” her words strike me like a punch to the face My neck snaps back and my throat burns

“Are you seriously asking me this? Cassie hasn’t breathed a word to et off e fucked Have I done anything to make you question the way I feel about you? You’ve ruined me for anyone else, Hattie I’ve been drunk on you since the h Wild Horse Acres That first day when your eyes locked with e I just wasn’t sure how I fucking love you” Shit, did I say that last part aloud

“You lovea step toward me

“Yeah, Hattie, I do So are you going to believe the word of an asshole ants in your pants or are you going to trust me when I say that I love you and I would never hurt you? I’m not Justin I wouldn’t do that to you If there was a chance in hell that Cassie could be pregnant withand be a man and own that shit, but I wore a condoet off because she wasn’t you All I could think about when I ith her was how she’d never be you”
