“Mia, go back inside,” I say, keeping my eyes locked on him. He’s a ticking time bomb.
“But Travis…” she argues.
“Go,” I say firmer. “Get inside.”
“I’d listen to your new little fuck toy if I were you,” Will tells her, stretching his arms out in front of his chest and cracking his knuckles. “Unless you want to get blood on your fake designer shoes.”
His words hit me like a ton of bricks. He could snap me like a twig in less than two seconds. I work out and lift weights, but there’s absolutely no comparison. His biceps are as big as my head.
She gasps. “They aren’t fake!”
“Jesus Christ, Mia!” I snap. “Get in the fucking diner.”
“We have some unresolved issues to discuss,” Will’s voice is thick with amusement. He obviously gets a rush from fighting, in or out of the ring.
We both stay standing as we hear her shoes click against the pavement as she heads back inside. I don’t want to fight this guy or rather, get pummeled into the ground, but somehow, I insinuated myself in her damn mess.
“Before you assume anything, Mia’s just a friend…”
He takes a step closer.
“She was actually my best friend’s girlfriend. So, whatever your tiff with her is, let’s just drop it. She’s a hot mess even on her best days.”
“You think I care about any of that shit?” He steps forward again. “She took a video of us, and unless she gives it back, it’s your face I’m going to be punching in.”
“Okay, I’ll tell her to give it back.”
“It’s on her cell. I want it.”
“All right. No problem.”
“You have five minutes. She either gives it back, or I crush your skull.”
Fuck, and I thoughtIhad anger issues. He’s on a totally different spectrum.
I pinch my lips together and slowly take a step back toward the diner again. Once I’m inside, I grab Mia and tell her his demands.
“I need it, Mia. Just hand it over, and you can get another one.”
“Idon’thave it!” She crosses her arms. “I’ve been telling him that for the past thirty miles.”
“Where the hell is it?”
She shrugs. “Somewhere on I-50 between Riverton and Cedar Grove. I threw it out the car window.”
I inhale sharply, brushing my hand through my hair and turn slightly to see he’s watching our every move.
“Why the hell did you do that?” Now I’m annoyed.
“Because he was being an asshole! He kept telling me to give it to him, so I said ‘fine, go get it,’ and then threw it out the window.”
“Fuck, Mia,” I hiss under my breath.
“Well, I didn’t know he was going to lose his shit over it.”
“You recorded you guys having sex?” I whisper. “That’s not exactly something a guy like him wants leaked.”
She shrugs, and her indifference feeds my anger even more.
