“So, the guy that basically runs Mac’s father’s company now… he called Mac last night. His father took another bad turn.”
“Damn,” Ruby says. “Poor Mac.”
“That’s awful, Violet. It really is. Cancer… sucks.”
“Yeah, it does,” Violet says. “Without being rude, is that what it’s going to be like? Just hearing about his father getting worse and worse until the end?”
Violet looks at me. So does Ruby.
You’re the medical student…
I swallow hard. “Yeah. That’s how it sometimes can go. I don’t know the entire case obviously. If he can’t get treatment, then it’s about comfort. I mean, there’s nothing you can do or say. It’s truly sad. It’s awful.”
“It’s okay, Mila,” Violet says. “I wasn’t looking for you to tell me there’s a cure.”
“Hey, not to change the subject here, but I think Mila has a fan.”
“A fan?” I ask.
“Behind you. Checking out that ass of yours again.”
I turn my head way too quick and obvious, to see Jax right behind us.
Just walking.
Not even trying to hide himself.
“Oh, fuck this,” I say as I turn all the way around. “Get a good look, Jax?”
“What, Mila?” Jax asks.
“Checking out my ass again? Huh? You think that’s smart?”
“I’m just trying to-”
“This isn’t a game, okay? I’m not into the stalker thing. For many reasons. Don’t make this into something, Jax. Just go the hell away.”
Jax seems surprised.
“Damn, girl,” Ruby says.
“Um… Mila…” Violet whispers.
“Shh,” I say to them both. I keep my focus on Jax. “So what are you going to do? Keep following me? Huh? You think that’s smart right now? After what I just said to you?”
Jax shows me his hands and comes closer toward me.
I suck in a breath, not sure what’s going to happen next.
Here’s what happens next…
Jax gets within inches of me, then walks right around me.
I turn and watch as he opens the door to the cafe.
He goes right up to the counter and places an order.
My mouth slowly opens.
