Losing It
HUDSON
My control over her isn’t as strong as it was at the beginning when I first met her. I screwed things up way too fast, but now I’m going to fix them.
Trying for a long-term relationship is exactly the kind of distraction I need. Ever since Matt had told me about the phone call he’d gotten, I couldn’t stop the restless feeling inside me.
Usually, I wouldn’t bother. I don’t have time to worry about empty threats, but this seems different. Personal.Just what I fucking need right now.
This person somehow found a way to contact Matt to get to me. Glancing over at Parker, I wondered if she got a call too. She would have told me about it.Or maybe not. If she did know anything, she wouldn’t have kept it this long.
I try to think of all the people I’ve fucked over in the past, but the list is long and I can’t even remember half of their names.
Well to narrow down the list, Matt said it was a woman. I asked him again to make sure. Could it have been Diana fucking around with me?
She probably has too much coke in her system to think that far. Besides, Diana loves me, she’d never risk hurting me, because losing me means losing everything.
This person wants revenge. What’s life without a little drama? Even though it amuses me to think that someone wants to play a game with me, I can’t take such a risk, thinking they won’t try something stupid.
It’s probably nothing,I assure myself.What’s the worst that could happen?
Parker’s phone starts buzzing and I quickly give her a side glance, watching as she stares at the screen and frowns, before putting her phone back on the dashboard.
My knuckles tighten around the steering wheel.It’s nothing,I tell myself.Get yourself together.
“Who was calling?”
“Huh?” Parker looks up at me, her grey eyes wide, probably wondering why the fuck I’m asking. “It’s nothing important.”
I hear the lie. I know she’s lying and it fucking annoys the hell out of me, but I can’t lose it now even though I want to grab her phone and search through it.
Why would she lie when I’m taking her out and doing everything right for once? More specifically,whatis she lying about?
I press down on the accelerator and pick up speed and I can see Parker staring at me through my peripheral vision.
“Slow down. Do you want to kill us?”
“Are we okay?” I ask her, irritation surging through my veins.
“Why wouldn’t we be?”
Because I have trust issues, Parker. If we don’t trust each other, I might lash out. I hate when you fucking lie to me. It just makes you like everyone else in my life.
Clenching my jaw, I try to calm myself.This isn’t me. I don’t lose my cool. “Just wondering,” I say coolly.
“Is there something you want to tell me?” Her gaze bores into me, as she turns her body to face me.
I glance at her again.Fuck, does she know something?
“Like what?” My voice is steady.
She shakes her head. “You just seem tense.”
“I’m fine,” I say. “Just a little tired. Why don’t you take a nap? We still have an hour before we reach Athens.”
“Thanks,” she whispers and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before turning around in her seat and settling into the black leather.
