A hand touched my shoulder.
I screamed and turned and threw the cup in my hand at Bethany.
She swatted her right hand into the air and then screamed, touching her chest.
The two of us stared in disbelief.
Both of us thinking the same thing.
That I had just launched scalding hot coffee right into Bethany’s face.
The cup was luckily empty.
I had forgotten to pour myself coffee. If I even planned it at all.
“I’m back,” Bethany said.
“Yeah, I can see that.”
“You’re a mess over that guy.”
“No. That’s wrong. That’s really wrong. I’m a mess over everything happening today. I’m all backward. Because of my stupid alarm. That threw the entire day off.”
“Permission to tell the truth?”
“What?”
Bethany sniffed the air. “I smell cow poop.”
“Cow poop…?”
“Or… bullshit.”
“What’s bullshit?”
“A day like today has been building for a while now. You catching Steven rubbing his salami stick in the shower? That was the visual proof you needed. But what do you think that man has been doing? He’s not holding back. That guy is spraying sperm all over like a sprinkler to fresh grass.”
“That’s my boyfriend you’re talking about!”
“I’m sorry, Anna. But you really can’t see it. You can see it in others. You’re amazing at your job. Looking at yourself though? You can’t…”
“So what am I missing then? Huh? Go ahead. You have my permission.”
“To put it in simple terms? He’s getting it from somewhere. And him leaving the breadcrumbs for you? That’s his way of wanting you to catch him. Because he assumes you’ll just leave. Or he’ll have his opening to twist it and blame you.”
I looked down.
Steven got hard for strippers, but not me.
He probably had a favorite stripper.
He probably did more than just give her money for topless dances.
Would that shock me at all?
Nope.
Because Steven’s father did the same thing.
