“And you brought a girl into my room while I was asleep one night,” I tell him. “I wake up, she’s taking her clothes off, and you’re standing behind her… What did you say?” I search my brain, trying to remember his exact words. “You slapped her on the ass and said, ‘He doesn’t talk cool, but tell him to keep his mouth shut and you won’t even know the difference, honey. Our dicks are identical too.”
He starts laughing.
I bite the corner of my mouth. Hard. “You might’ve been drunk,” I finally say, “but do you remember that at all?”
He beams. “I honestly don’t, but it sounds like me.”
I shake my head. Is that something he’d do to A.J.? No, because he gives a shit about our kid sister. Would he have purposely humiliated Hawke at a game? No. He loves Hawke.
And to my knowledge, he has never moved in on a girl one of his friends was interested in. He treats me like garbage.
“Why don’t you like me?”
“Oh, give me a fucking break, Hunter. They were jokes!” he yells. “You’re too sensitive.”
“You knew how those things, and the hundred other things you did, would make me feel!” I try to lower my voice, but I can’t. “You wanted me to feel like shit! Why?”
“Because I wanted you away from her!”
I stand there, staring at him, his eyes piercing me.
Dylan doesn’t move, but I see her chest rise and fall in heavy breaths out of the corner of my eyes.
I stand up straight. “So, you were jealous?”
“Let’s get one thing straight, Hunter.” He sneers at me. “I will never be jealous of you.”
“So why all the bullshit?” I ask. “Why not just tell me the truth?”
“Would you have given her up?” He cocks his head, challenging me. “Huh?”
Give her up? And let them be together?
I look over at Dylan, and I notice tears hanging in her eyes, about to fall.No. It would’ve fucking hurt too much. I can’t…
I can’t get the words out for a few seconds.
“If…” I blink, dropping my head. “If you made her happy…” I whisper. “If she was happy, then yeah.”
If she didn’t want me, I would never want to be someone who made her miserable.
I dig in my eyebrows, trying to get my fucking vision to clear. “Fuck.”
I twist around, but I feel a hand grab me. “No, no…” Dylan says, pulling me into her arms. “You don’t walk away. Come here.”
She pops up on her tiptoes, holding my face in her hands as she kisses me.
It only takes a second, and I wrap her in my arms and kiss her back.
Kade brushes past me and leaves, but it doesn’t even register to stop him.
She wants me.
Me.
“I love you,” I whisper.
“I know.” She presses her forehead to mine. “And he’s lying.”
