"Because I wanted to know what the fuck has been up your ass lately,” he growls at her. He slams his hand down on the table, causing all the silverware and dishes to clank together. All eyes in the restaurant are on us. I have a feeling I'll have to step in way before our order’s even taken. We may not even make it to drinks.
"Fuck you, Ridge. You want me to pretend like what you said never happened?" she asks. I put my hand on her thigh, feeling her body shaking. I don’t know if it’s from anger or fear.
“I only told you the truth. Just like tonight. You want to know what I think?” He smirks. A waiter walks up and starts filling our waters. “You look like a fucking whore. You think I don’t see what you’re doing? I know you want him.” He points at me as the waiter rushes away. “You’ve always fucking wanted him. But the only way you can get him is by dressing like the sluts we take turns plowing into. You’re no better than those cunts, and– ”
"I wouldn't finish that sentence," I growl. My fingers dig into my palms as I try not to launch myself over the table at him. He's got that smug grin still plastered on his face as he looks between us. A soft hand presses into my thigh as I take a deep breath.
“Why? Could it be because you’re already fucking my little sister?” His eyes narrow at her. I know he’s about to say something that will only piss me off more. “You don’t even know him, Bresin. He has you so fucking blind to the real man he is. He’s a fucking coward.”
“At least I’m not an addict.”
"You just think you're so fucking perfect, Jagger. Oh, my daddy doesn't love me, wah, wah, wah. Go fucking cry to someone who cares. You're not fucking good enough for her. I'll do everything in my power to ruin you for even touching her."
His grin widens. I know he's about to spill my secret, but I’m surprised with what actually comes out of his mouth. It ends up being something I don’t expect.
"We can always just run a round of ‘fuck the slut’ on her, just like so many girls before her."
I stand from my chair so fucking fast, it clatters to the floor behind me. I reach across the table and grab onto the collar of his crisp white button-up shirt. My fist slams into his face so hard, I hear a crunch before I hit him again. Bresin's scream from behind me is the only thing that registers as I hit him again. My knuckles crack, a sharp pain radiating through my fist. It doesn't stop me from hitting him one last time.
"Don't ever disrespect your sister like that again," I grit out, pushing him back into his chair. People stand around watching in disbelief as I grab Bresin's hand and lead her out of the restaurant.
As soon as we get to my car, I slam my hands down on the roof. “Fuck!” I yell. My body vibrates with rage as I keep running over what he said.
"Jagger," Bresin murmurs, placing her hand on my lower back. "Look at me."
I don't move. I'm not in a good enough state of mind to look at her right now. I know I’ll say something I’ll regret, and I refuse to treat her like he did.
She ducks under my arm and rests her hands on my stomach. “Jagger, you are not a coward.” Her voice gets stronger with every word. “You are a better man than he will ever be.”
I close my eyes because I can’t look at her. She doesn’t know what Ridge was talking about when he called me a coward, but I do.
I know exactly what he meant, and he's right. I am a coward.
