Nic scrubs a hand down his face and actually has the nerve to chuckle once, I can't imagine what he sees funny in this situation.
"There was a misunderstanding." Nic says softly.
"I doubt it. But what misunderstanding are you talking about?"
"I was under the impression that he was someone you were dating." He gestures at Eric, and my mouth curls down in disgust.
"Eww, what the hell would ever give you that idea.
"He's in your phone as Boo 3, he sent a photo the other day and I saw it" Nic answers glossing over when and how he saw it.
"Wait a minute, why the hell am I boo 3? Who's boo 1?" Eric asks, breaking my attention from Nic.
"Really, now isn't the time." I try to look away from him.
"I should be Boo 1. I'm the best brother you got!" Eric says.
"No you ain't, you nearly forgot her birthday this year," Aiden says. “I should be Boo 1, I am right?"
"Oh my god!" I let my head fall back and groan annoyed to the ceiling. "Boys! Really!" I yell, but that does nothing to stop the sibling argument that started. Now Ivan and Tyson are getting in on it.
"Okay that's it! Get out! All of you out now!" I scream and start shoving people to the door. I turn my head and look at Tripp." You too, get out"
"But I didn't even do anything. I was good!" Tripp whines, but gets out of the chair and follows my brothers out.
"Dad, make sure they don't destroy anything, please." I say as he follows my brothers and Tripp out the door.
"You got it, baby girl." He says and kisses my forehead.
I breathe for a second, trying to get myself under control as Nic leans against his desk with a strange grin on his face.
"You have five brothers?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck
"Yeah, I know." I say. Still annoyed, but relieved that this didn't come to blows. Yet.
"Nic, we need to come clean because this is crazy."
He nods his head and sits back against the desk. "Fine, like I said, while you were taking a shower, the photo came through. I wasn't snooping or looking for anything, it just popped up. It wasn't my place to ask you about it, since we never said anything about being exclusive. I knew you were dating other people. I just … I don't want you to do it." He says, and I feel a rage boiling up in me. What kind of double standard is this?
"Nic, don't you have something more to come clean about?" I squint my eyes at him, and he shakes his head no. Still acting confused.
"That's amazing. You're going on and on about how you don't want me to see other people when you have a whole damn wife and kid on the way." I snap at him.
His face loses all its color, and he actually slips from the edge of the desk.
"What!" he yells out.
I jump, startled by his reaction.
"Who told you that?" He bites out.
I'm not sure if he's surprised he got caught or just surprised.
"Your wife, she stopped me in the bathroom last night, Cynthia." I tell him.
"Oh my god, that crazy bitch." He snarls and bangs his hand down hard on the desk.
"She's my ex-wife. My very ex-wife, and that baby she's carrying belongs to the man she's married to now." He sighs and walks around his desk, yanking open the drawer. "Wait. Here." He pulls out a file folder and shuffles through a few papers until he walks over with a stack and hands it to me.
