I arched my brow at her. “Okay. While you’re it, why don’t you go and buy a whole new bed?”
I heard Jillian snicker from a few feet away.
“Maybe I will, and for the record, you’re a total asshole. The next time we run into each other, do me a favor, and don’t approach me.”
“You’re the one who came over here. Not me. I have no interest in speaking to you ever again.”
“Ugh.” Tears started to fill her eyes. “Enjoy your boring, pathetic life.”
“I will. Don’t you worry about that.”
She turned on her heels and pushed her cart down the aisle as fast as she could. I watched as she stood in line, waiting for the next available cashier.
“Sorry you had to witness that,” I spoke as I turned to Jillian.
“No worries. She’s still broken up over you.”
“Too bad. She needs to move on.”
“I have a feeling that getting over you isn’t easy.” She smirked.
Giving her a small smile, I kissed the side of her head. “Let’s get some dishes and get out of here.”
When we returned to her apartment, I helped her unpack and put the dishes in the cabinet.
“Why are you putting them over there?” I asked.
“Because this is where I want them.” She smiled.
“But it’s more convenient for them to be placed in this cabinet.”
“I’m sorry, but do you live here still?”
I sighed. “Sorry. Old habits. We haven’t eaten since lunch, and I’m starving. How about we go eat at that little Chinese restaurant down the street?”
“Sounds good to me.”
Her laptop was sitting on the counter, and a call came through.
“I have to get this. It’s Kellan, and we’ve been playing phone tag today.”
“Who’s Kellan?”
“My best friend. You’ll see.”
She accepted the call, and his face appeared on the screen.
“Hey, Jilly Bean. Where the hell have you been all day?”
“Here and there. There are a few things I need to tell you, but now isn’t a good time.”
“Why?”
“I’m with someone right now,” she spoke.
“Hmm. Just by you saying ‘someone’ indicates that it’s of the male species. Because if it were Kristen, you would have said you were with her. Who is he, Bean? Let me see?”
She looked across the room at me and then turned her laptop around.
