Marching toward him, I lifted my hand. Just as I was about to smack his head, he grabbed my arm and twisted it back before I could blink.
“Ah!”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself,” he said, letting go of me and walking into his home. “Go home, Wolfgang.”
“I will not! I’ve been given orders. I will sit out here until you decide to come back with me,” I called against the door.
I even knocked twice before taking a seat in front of the door, resting my back against it. If he wanted to be stubborn, then so would I. I wasn’t good at many things but being stubborn was one of them.
The idiot stayed outside my house until nearly midnight, and at that point, I wasn’t going to let him stay out in the dark, nor could he walk back. So eventually, I had to let him inside or risk having to explain how he died.
Troublesome.
Now he was eating soup and bread by the fire…as if I had left him at the north pole.
“So, are you coming back with me now?” he asked as he ripped the bread.
I sighed, tossing him a blanket and pillow before heading to bed. Taking off my boots, I prayed he wouldn’t keep talking, but I knew him better than that.
“You know what the hardest thing for me to understand is?”
I didn’t answer.
“What are you like in a relationship?” his voice snapped. “How do women stand you?”
“It’s been a long time since I dated a woman, so I’m not quite sure,” I replied and tried not to chuckle when he went silent. I glanced over at him. “Is that why you asked that question? To get my response and see if the papers were right?”
He frowned. “No, I asked because I’ve only ever seen you at work, Iskandar. I can’t imagine you outside of that.”
“Well, this is me outside of it.”
“I can’t tell the difference.”
“Your problem, not mine,” I replied, lying on my bed and closing my eyes when all of a sudden I could hear my phone buzzing on the counter.
“You aren’t going to get that?”
“No.”
“Why? It could be—”
“It’s my mother. She’ll tire herself out.” Eventually.
I heard him laugh. “So even you hide from your parents?”
“I don’t hide; I just ignore them.”
“Why?”
I frowned. “Wolfgang. Please go to sleep.”
“When you are quiet, when I saw the articles, I realized I don’t know you at all. Which was weird for me because I always felt like I did. That you and I were part of the same team. I had your back, you had my back…then you left without saying anything. And I realized, wow. This bastard really is cold.”
“Are you calling me a bastard?”
“Yes.”
“My parents are legitimately married, thank you.”
