“Get used to it,” Logan said, his eyes locking onto mine.
“Oh no, look who it is,” Ellie groaned when Carlisle and his friends walked in, as loud as ever.
My heart skipped a beat with fear. I didn’t want him to say anything to us, but there was no way Carlisle would ignore me. His meathead friend noticed me first, the back of his hand on Carlisle’s chest as he nodded to me.
I stared at my drink, and Logan leaned forward, his fingers lacing with mine.
“Look at me, angel.”
I lifted my eyes to those that set me on fire, a smile curling on my lips as his thumb stroked my hand.
“Don’t let that cunt bother you.”
“I’m not,” I whispered, but against everything rational, I turned my head to meet Carlisle’s eyes.
He stared at me, his face devoid of emotion. I broke eye contact first, turning back to see Ellie twisting in her chair to glare at him.
“The gym’s that way,” she purred, pointing down the street. “You must be lost.”
Carlisle laughed, cupping his hand to his ear as he addressed her.
“I can’t hear you. Actually, I can, and it’s the same shit as always.”
I dug my heel into the ground, my face burning as Ellie snapped back at him.
“Fuck you, Carlisle.”
“No thanks.” He chuckled, his eyes grazing over me. “I’ve got higher standards.”
“Fuck off then,” Logan said, rising to his feet.
“Logan, let’s go. I’m not doing this here,” I pleaded, gathering my things.
But Carlisle isn’t finished.
“I’ve got a load of tips for you if you need them, mate. But the best one is this: find someone better. Even a dick likeyouis too good forher.”
Logan clenched his fists without hesitation, but I saw the daring in Carlisle’s eyes.
He’s goading him, I realise.
“Logan, don’t,” I begged, as he ignored me, striding towards him.
Immediately Carlisle squared up to him, and Ellie and I were on our feet.
“What did you say?” Logan demanded his entire body stiffening.
I walked between them, moving them apart as I looked desperately at Ellie.
“Stop trying to cause shit,” Ellie snarled at Carlisle, who winked at her.
“Or what?”
“Carlisle, just fuckoff,”I hissed as he gave me a disgusted look.
“Speaking of the gym, maybe you should start going. You’ll squash this poor cunt if you carry on, fat wraps.”
I was pushed out of the way as Logan’s fist connected with Carlisle’s jaw, sending him flying into a table.
