He pulls his phone from his pocket, glancing at the caller ID and then quickly up at me.
“I have to take this,” he says, standing.
I’m not sure what could be more important than this, but again, I bite my tongue.
I definitely don’t have the right.
I watch him walk to the back, phone now pressed to his ear.
There’s no way in hell that I can marry Eggs without him knowing the truth. No matter how badly he wants to avoid it.
There are just some things that you can’t bring to a marriage with you.
Secrets about repeatedly hooking up with someone else are definitely among them.
And possibly having married someone else?
Fuck, no.
He has to hear this.
I watch him walk back to me, my resolve renewed. This time, he has to listen.
“I’ve gotta go,” he says.
Fuck.
“What do you mean? We just—”
This time he interrupts me with a rough kiss on the cheek.
“I know, I know, but I’ll see you tonight!” he calls, already walking away from me.
Son of a bitch!
“Eggs, wait!” I yell after him, standing to follow.
He’s out the door before I even manage to push my chair back, leaving me to stare after him in awe.
What the hell could be so important?
I briefly consider chasing after him, telling him everything anyway.
The mental images of me, running down the street, screaming that I fucked Lock, are enough to stop me.
So, I’ll tell him tonight then…
I can already feel my resolve withering, though. Getting up the courage to tell him was hard enough the first time.
I throw a tip down on the table. Unnecessary since we ordered nothing, but I consider it space rent.
There’s really nothing to do at this point but go back to the Golden Gun.
Maybe Percy will have some ideas.
I mean, she’ll definitely have ideas, but maybe she’ll have a good one, too.
I start in that direction, bypassing the motorcycle as I go.
