She places a blue 2 down and goes back to her cards. She replies in a bored tone “No. But I think the next time I see your wife I’m going to throw a shoe at her head. ”

Um, what wife?

I almost choke on my question, “Um, what?”

She sighs and says, “I’m sorry. That was rude. Next time I see your wife I’ll throw something soft at her head. ”

The guys look at me, then at Tina, then back at me.

Max speaks up, “Babe, he doesn’t have a wife to throw anything at. ”

Tina places her cards down at leans forward closer to me and says, “She said she was married to the owner of The White Rabbit. That’s you, right?”

I nod. Max looks at Ghost, then Trick. They are all smiling.

I know why they’re smiling.

Sissy.

I’m going to kill her!

Tina puts her fingertips to her temples. She whispers, “God, I’m so confused. ”

Trick pulls her hands down from her temples and asks, “Was she tall, blonde, and meaner than a junkyard dog?”

Tina looks up at him and nods quickly.

Rage burns in the bottom of my gut. Sissy is a royal pain in my ass. The only reason I keep her around is because she has a mouth like a Hoover. Sissy and I are not together but she has been my regular screw for a few months. I have never kissed her on the mouth; she knows it’s one of my rules. Sissy teases me by calling me Pretty Woman but I can see it hurts her. I don’t really give a shit if it hurts her, she knew what she was getting from the first time we had sex. I never once played games with her, I told her straight out that she and I were only fuck buddies. She agreed. End of story.

Unfortunately for her, after this stunt, I have to cut her loose.

This doesn’t bother me. I’ll send her a text when Tina leaves. It was fun but it is what it is.

I look at Tina and say, “I’m sorry, Tina. If I knew she was causing you trouble I would have cut her loose sooner. ”

Tina looks up at me with wide eyes and responds, “I don’t want you to break up with your girlfriend because of me!”

I roll my eyes and mutter, “She wasn’t my girlfriend, just a casual acquaintance. She was becoming a huge pain in my ass anyways. Time for her to go. ”

“So,” Tina frowns and purses her lips, “what do I do if she turns up at the store? I don’t want her making a scene again. Its puts customers off from coming back. ” She looks uneasy.

I get up, walk over to the fridge and take out two sodas. I sit back down and place one in front of her.

Without even a thank you she opens it and sips like she’s been playing Uno with us for years. I respond, “Leave that to me. She comes back to the store, you call me. Straight away. ”

Nodding, she plays with the ring of her soda can and turns to check the time on the clock on the wall.

She jumps up and yells, “Crudsickles! I’ve been here for an hour; I’ve got to get back. ” She looks around the table, smiles and says, “Nice to meet you all. Hope I see you again soon. ”

Crudsickles?

She turns to me, puts her small hand on my shoulder and speaks again, “Thanks Nik. I appreciate it. ”

The guys watch her leave. Well, they watch her ass sway as she leaves.

Knuckleheads.

Trick smiles big, still looking to the door. He declares, “I like her!”
