I shake my head and hold up my hands. “Ben’s in charge of this one. I’ve got enough on my plate.”
She crosses her arms angrily in front of her and huffily walks inside. We get into the car and drive off in silence.
My eyes flick to Ben as he drives. He looks at me and then back at the road. I keep watching him and his eyes turn to me again.
“What?” he asks.
“I’m going to ask you once and once only, Ben.”
He bites his bottom lip as he waits for the question with his eyes on the road.
“Are you making love to Bridget or are you fucking her?”
He lifts his chin defiantly as his eyes stay on the road. He stays silent.
“Does it matter?” he replies flatly.
“Yeah, it does actually,” I reply.
He rolls his eyes and shakes his head to himself.
We continue up the road in silence and his eyes flick to the rear-view mirror as he checks the security behind us.
“You know I know a thing or two about this,” I murmur.
He looks at me deadpan. “About what?” he replies flatly.
“Being in love with a Marx girl.” I smirk.
He shakes his head and keeps his eyes on the road and we continue to drive in silence.
My phone rings. It’s Adrian. “Hello.”
“Are you coming in today?” he asks.
“Yeah, on my way,” I reply.
“See you soon,” he replies before hanging up.
“They are not wired to fuck around Ben,” I mutter.
He swallows as he thinks and then his eyes flick to me again.
“Well, why are they wired to fuck so damn well?” he snaps.
I smile and shake my head as I stare out the window. “I don’t know, but I know it will do you over if you let it.”
His eyes stay on the road. “I’m not letting it,” he replies.
“So is that why she’s at home in your bed with her guard outside your house instead of mine?” I reply.
“She’s going craz
y in that fishbowl,” he snaps.
“You think I’m not?” I reply. “All I want is my house to myself with Natasha and I currently have seven extra people staying with me and a very bad case of Jerry Springer playing out before my eyes.”
“Bridget and Abbie are looking at some apartments this afternoon,” Ben replies.
