“Can’t protect her forever,” Viv said just to needle him.
“Look, her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, and she found them,” Campbell said. “She was totally fucked up about it. She needs more time to get over it. Not any one of you shitheads interfering.”
Santi held his hands up. “I’m just fucking with you, bro.”
I said nothing. I wished that I could sink into the seat and disappear entirely.
“How’s she doing anyway?” Campbell said. “She seemed fine at my birthday, but she hides it well.”
I cleared my throat. “Uh, better. We’ve been going out to the bars sometimes to blow off steam.”
Campbell narrowed his eyes. “Just you two?”
“Yeah, as friends,” I said hastily. “I’m her roommate. So, it’s easier. We just drive together.”
“Wait, wait, wait,” Santi said, leaning forward. “You live with his baby sister?”
“Yeah,” I said softly.
Santi turned to Campbell. “And you allow this fucker to live with her?”
“You’re talking about her like she’s an object,” Viv snarled. “She’s a woman. She can do what or who she pleases. Fuck all of you misogynistic men!”
“She’s right, Campbell,” Santi said, preening. “Let her fuck whoever she wants.”
“That’s my little sister, you asshole.”
“You’re so controlling,” Viv teased, poking his shirt.
“I’m not controlling. I don’t want her to get hurt.” He considered it for a second, and then his gaze shifted to me. “And I’d kill anyone who touched her.”
“Not controlling,” Viv said with a snort. “Yeah, right.”
I met Campbell’s gaze levelly, trying not to let him know I was sweating through my shirt. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
When he said touch her…did he mean the inside or outside of her?
He was going to kill me.
Literally kill me.
I’d already broken bro code. And there was no going back from what I’d done. But I could keep it together. I could make sure it never happened again.
