“Bold of you to assume that I care,” I shot back, groaning internally when I couldn’t stop my mouth from verbally kicking my own ass.
Quiet, Aoife, you’re in the wrong here. Now shush.
Narrowing her eyes, Rebecca planted her hands on her hips and glowered at me. “It’s bad enough that you don’t have any respect for your own relationship, but you could have spared a thought for Danielle’s!”
“What relationship?” Joey demanded, throwing his hands up. “Because she sure as shit isn’t in one with me!”
“Oh Joey,” Danielle sobbed, pressing a hand to her chest. “How could you?“
“No, no, no, don’t go there. Don’t give me thatoh, Joey, how could youbullshit,” he snapped, shaking his head. “I told you, Danielle, I fuckingtoldyou that I wasn’t interested in anything serious. I told you that it was a one-time thing and you said that you were fine with it!”
“A one-time thing?” She glared at him. “Have you forgotten about the other couple of dozen times?”
Ouch.
“Don’t give me that shit,” Joey was quick to counter. “I laid it all out for you, said I wasn’t interested in anything more than one night, and you said that you agreed with me.”
“Well, I lied,” she cried out.
“Well, I didn’t!” Clearly frustrated, Joey ran a hand through his soaked hair and hissed, “You came on tome,remember? You propositionedme,and I made my intentions perfectly clear. You knew that I was out of mind that night. You knew I was unavailable. I was up fucking front with you, Dan, so these tears you’re spilling are not on me.”
“Have a heart, Joey,” Rebecca snapped when her friend cried harder. “The girl has feelings for you.”
“Then tell her to stop having feelings for me!” Releasing a frustrated growl, he pointed a finger at Danielle and hissed, “Youpromisedyou wouldn’t do this.”
“I know, but—”
“No buts,” he snapped. “And no promises, either. I’m a free agent.”
“You might be,” Danielle spat, pointing a finger in my direction. “But she’s not.”
“What she is or isn’t hasn’t got a damn thing to do with either one of you,” Joey sneered in a menacing tone. “So, why don’t you both turn around and walk your asses out of here before this gets messier than it needs to.”
“Who are you calling?” I blurted out, attention flicking to Rebecca, who had her phone pressed to her ear, expression smug.
“Hi, Paul, yeah, it’s me Becks.”
My eyes widened.
“Yeah, so, I’m up Elk’s Terrace, and I thought you should that I just saw your girlfriend, Aoife, with Joey Lynch.”
Oh god, oh god.
“Uh-huh, that’s right. Yeah, I legit just saw them scoring with each other.”
“Jesus Christ,” Joey groaned under his breath.
My mouth fell open. “What a bitch.”
“Yeah, I swear,” Rebecca said, grinning deviously. “No, I’m not lying. She was wrapped around him like ivy.”
“Ugh.” I dropped my head in my hands and groaned. It felt like my rolling stomach had fallen out of my ass, as I listened on helplessly.
What could I do?
Not deny it, that’s for sure.
I’d been caught red-handed.
