“Yeah,” I say. “If you want to know. I’m fucking Mila as much as I can. As much as she wants me to. You’re in a shitty spot here, Willow. Not fair to you.”
“Oh?”
“I’ve been after Mila for some time now. I’ve completely disrespected the fact that she was with someone else. If given the chance, I would have fucked her sooner than I did. Meaning, yeah, guess what? I wish she would have cheated on your brother with me. Is that what you want me to say?”
“I want to hit you in the face for that, Jax.”
“Do it,” I say. “You need it, Willow.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“I’m not joking. I will hit you.”
“I’m not joking either. I’m telling you to hit me.”
Willow swallows hard and makes a fist and puts it against my jaw.
She licks her bottom lip.
She blinks fast.
“Do you want me to accept responsibility for his actions?” I offer. “Will that make you feel better, Willow? Will that fix your little broken heart? Because your douchebag brother can do no wrong ever?”
“Fuck you!” Willow yells.
She doesn’t punch me but she does slap me.
She catches my jaw perfectly and I actually see a couple stars dancing in front of me for a second.
Willow clutches her hand to her chest as her eyes fill with tears.
I reach for her hand and gently squeeze it.
I place my left hand to the middle of her back and pull. “Come here, Willow.”
She falls into me and instantly breaks down.
I touch her hair and just hold her.
“I’m sorry for hitting you, Jax,” she says.
“No you’re not. You’ve wanted to hit me from the moment you met me.”
She looks up at me. Tears running down her cheeks. “That’s true.”
“I am sorry about your brother. He’s an asshole though. He has a big problem with drinking. I do hope he gets help and gets back on his feet. Nobody deserves to live in that kind of darkness forever. And it fucking sucks that it’s falling on your back too. It’s not right or fair to you.”
“Thank you for saying that,” Willow says.
“Look, I know how messy it is. No matter what, Ward was going to lose. I was either going to fuck his sister or his girlfriend.”
“You are such a cocky bastard,” she says.
“I know. But I’m right. This thing with Mila… it means something to me. And believe it or not, Willow, you matter to me too. You need someone to cry to? Call me. You need someone to punch? Throw it at me. But don’t lose sight of yourself.”
“How can you be such a dick and then say such perfect things? How can you look as hot as you do… and I don’t want to fuck you? What is this?”
