Then, as I looked between the three of them.
It all made sense.
I felt a wicked smile curl on my face, and laughter bubbled from my throat.
“What’s so funny?”
I swept my hand over my face to regain my composure. “Just that… it’s so obvious.”
“What’s obvious?”
I jutted my chin toward Grace. “She’s got both of you.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Sam asked, but I could hear the resignation in his voice.
Like any guy, he’d suspected. I didn’t know what the relationship was between him and the guy behind him, if they were friends or coworkers or what. But from the energy in the space, it was clear that both of them were head over heels for my bitch of an ex-girlfriend.
“She’s playing you. Both of you.”
Grace’s eyes widened when she looked at me with that‘oh no’look.
The look that always meant she’d been found out.
The blond guy stepped forward. “You’re not welcome here. Leave.”
“Oh, and if I don’t, you’re going to thug me up?” I said with a mocking grin. “I’ll leave. But before I do, take this little nugget of wisdom. She isn’t what she seems. She’s manipulating both of you.”
“Shut up before I make you,” Sam warned.
“Ooh, I’m so scared,” I said. “You think she’s your girlfriend? You think she’s loyal to you? Well… there’s some bad news I gotta give ya, buddy…”
Sam lunged toward me.
I didn’t flinch.
“Grayson, don’t!” Grace shrieked.
I laughed. “Look at what’s happeningright fucking now.She’s more concerned with me telling you her secret or whatever than she is that you’re threatening to fuck me up.”
Sam paused, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Ah. Now I’ve got your fucking attention,” I said, craving another joint. I had one in my car…
“Grayson, just leave!” Grace cried.
I turned my attention to her. “Not before I tell them the truth.”
“Thereisno truth, you don’t know what you’re saying, you’re being crazy and jealous and why won’t you just leave me—”
“You killed someone,” I said, driving the knife in. It feltsogood to say that to her, to knock her down a few pegs from her annoying-ass holier-than-thou attitude. “You act all innocent and you play damsel-in-distress, but you never owned up for what you did.”
The words came out of my mouth and flew through the air like black daggers.
All eyes went to Grace.
Tears sparkled at the corners of her catlike eyes.
“Take fucking responsibility for once,” I said.
