“God, we will absolutely be worse,” I said as we walked into the restroom.
“Raising hell until we die,” Taryn confirmed, earning us a glare from the woman trying to sneak around us.
I just shook my head at her. “Ignore her,” I muttered. “Some people need to relax.” We weren’t about to let her ruin our day.
“There’s an open one, run,” Taryn told me, pointing to a stall in the middle that someone just vacated.
Thank goodness, I didn’t think I could hold it any longer. I rushed forward when the lady who glared pushed me out of the way and headed in. I stumbled on the tiled floor, grabbing the top of the stalls to stop myself from falling.
“What the fuck?” I said and knocked on the door. “I was next in line.”
Of course, she said nothing. Asshole.
The door next to me opened up and I ducked in there, instead. The nerve of some people. At least she didn’t hurt me or the baby. Taryn would have killed her for me before I even had a chance.
When I stepped up to wash my hands that bitch was yelling at an older woman to move out of her way. The woman was on a walker and trying her best to wash her hands quickly, shooting her confused looks.
Was she serious? Hell no…
“Get your hands off her,” I yelled as she started bumping into her on purpose. She startled at the shout and turned to look at me.
“Excuse me? Who the hell are you? This is none of your business,” she sneered at me.
“Well, when you laid your hands on me that gave me the right to put you in your place,” I started. “I let that go, but there is no reason for you to harass this lady when she’s washing her hands. The amount of time you wasted yelling at her, she could have washed her hands and you’d be done, too. Your time isn’tmore precious than anyone else’s and manners are something you need to learn. Apologize to her and wash your hands.”
Taryn stepped up beside me and we weren’t the only two surrounding her now. Nothing united people quite like tipsy ladies sharing a bathroom. And she was absolutely ruining the vibe.
She muttered something and moved to an empty sink down the line, shooting me furious looks but now that everyone was staring and whispering, she didn’t engage.
“Feel better?” Taryn asked, smiling at me in the mirror.
“I do,” I smirked back at her.
After we dried our hands, we headed back to our seats, people watching as we went. There was always drama when scents intermingled like this.
“Are we doing anything after the game?” I asked as we started down the stairs to our row.
“Dinner? Since you have Phoenix, dancing is out,” Taryn answered.
“Yes, and no drinking for me anyway,” I almost sighed at that. Not that I wasn’t grateful for this little surprise, but I did miss the carefree nights at the club.
“I’ll drink for you,” she teased as we returned to our packs.
“Everything okay?” Corvin asked as I sat down, his hand brushing the back of my neck before finally committing and kneading the tense muscles there.
“Yep, just a long line,” I reassured him. There was no way I was going to tell him about being pushed or confronting the girl after she accosted that older lady. The last thing I needed was him going all alpha on her.
He laced his free hand with mine just as Griff came up to bat.
“Go, Griff!” Dani yelled from next to Phoenix. She and my niece stood up, cheering louder for him than anyone in the stadium.
He hit a home run off the first pitch and took his victory lap around the bases before coming back to Dani and jumping up to give her a kiss on the lips. It was a sweet moment that started the kiss cam going again. They made the rounds and stopped on Taryn and her pack, it was sweet as they pecked her on the cheek.
As the cam shifted from her to the next pack, my blood ran cold. There was a familiar face staring back at me. One I never thought I’d see again in a million years.
Cameron.
My heart stopped, I swear it did. How did he find me? I had to get out of here. I went to stand up but my legs failed me and I couldn’t force myself to move, only making a noise of distress.
