“Meyah is more likely to talk to you about it than me. I can’t have her running off in search of some guy. I promised Kim a long time ago I’d watch out for Meyah. I don’t care how I have to do that, I ain’t gonna break that promise.”
I choked on a laugh and shook my head. “Look, I get it, I really fucking do. But you know how I feel about Meyah. I finally found my fucking balls, and I want to see where things are gonna go. But you want me to start something with her based on me being fucking sneaky?” I reasoned quietly, looking over my shoulder, feeling fucking strange like I was doing some kind of drug deal.
“She loves you,” Leo said seriously. The words sent a shiver up my spine and made my stomach drop like when you’re on a rollercoaster. “I’m not trying to stop her from finding that missing piece. I know how important it is to her. But I don’t like the idea of going into this blind. Get me the information we need, and we can do this on our terms.”
I didn’t feel good about this shit. At all. But I could see where Leo stood. He was willing to do whatever it fucking took to protect the people he loved. It was something I admired and also something that a long time ago, I failed in doing. And the result? I lost most of the important people in my life and was only just beginning to possibly find them again.
Leo was my brother. I had his back no matter fucking what even if it could screw things up before they’d even begun.
“Oh, and try to do it while keeping your cock in your pants.” With that, he turned and handed me his coffee cup before walking away heading across the backyard to his niece.
Well, fuck me.
