“This is fine.” I sighed and looked out the window.
“Hey, I’m just doing my job. No need to—”
“No need to what, Jimmy? You’re Antonio’s right-hand man. Right?” I snapped. He was getting on my nerves.
“Well, I like to think of myself as his…” He paused. “Wait, why are you asking?” I stared at him for a couple of seconds and shook my head.
“In case you don’t get it, as you’re Antonio’s right-hand man and good friend, I don’t like you either, and I don’t want to have a conversation with you. I don’t care if the drive is twelve hours. I still don’t want to talk to you. So let’s listen to the radio. You can play whatever music you like, and I’ll just sit here in my thoughts, waiting to get home. Because, frankly, I don’t like you, and I don’t like your boss, and I want nothing to do with you. I’m a good person, okay? I am a caring person. I’m sweet. I’m nice. My friends think I’m pretty great, and I didn’t deserve this to happen to me. You know? And as far as I’m concerned, I don’t forgive you guys, and I’m not going to just sit here and chat with you like we’re friends. We’re not.”
“Okay,” he said. “Got it. So I guess I can choose music?”
“Yeah, I guess you can.”
He pressed his lips together. “It’s an unfortunate situation, but there’s one thing I did want to say.”
“What?” I said, glaring at him.
“I mean, I don’t want to say it if you’re going to be in a bad mood about it.”
“Are you joking right now?”
He smirked at me. “I’m just trying to make you smile, girl.”
“Well, I’m not in a mood to smile, so?”
“Well, I was going to say that you’ve got a nice body.”
“What?” My jaw dropped. “Are you for real right now?”
“I mean, don’t tell Antonio I said that. He’d kill me, but—”
“Did you just tell me I have a nice body?”
“Well, maybe I should say rack.” He winked at me, and my jaw dropped again.
“Rack?”
“You know, your titties. I mean, I wasn’t trying to look, but they looked pretty nice.”
I pressed my lips together. “You know what? Maybe you should turn back around so Antonio can drive me home because—”
“Hey, I’m sorry. I know that was totally inappropriate.” He held his hand up. “I know it. I know it. I just thought maybe…”
“Maybe what? You thought maybe I’d want to hear you commenting on my naked breasts as your boss fucked me in the shower?” I bit down on my lower lip.
“I’m sorry. I don’t have a way with words. I didn’t go to college or anything.”
“You sure don’t have a way with words, Jimmy.” I shook my head. “You’re lucky that I can’t stand Antonio because I would totally tell him what you said, and I have a feeling he would not be happy.”
He nodded. “You’re right. I overstepped the line. You’re the boss’s girl and—”
“I’m not the boss’s anything. And now I’m done,” I said. “So just take me home and no more conversation.”
“Okay,” he said. “For what it’s worth, I think you’re a cool chick, though, Callie Rowney.” I didn’t bother looking over at him. “And I’m sorry about what happened. You didn’t deserve to get hurt. I think you’re a nice girl, and I think you and the boss, well, I think he could have been good if this hadn’t happened.”
