Obeying that command was really damn hard to do.
I shut the office door behind me.
Bethany stood there, shaking her head.
“Is that who I think?” I asked Bethany.
“How would you know anything?”
“I know plenty. That’s the guy.”
“Why don’t you get a cup of coffee? Water? You and I can run away to Paris?”
Behind me, I heard voices.
“Is this a joke, Anna? You didn’t come home last night?”
“You were expecting me? After you showed up and then left?”
“You were a drunk slob. Looking the way you did. Trying to strip for me?”
My hands balled up into fists.
I pictured the night.
I bought drinks for Anna and me. She and I had a good time together. Laughing. Playing darts. Getting buzzed. Getting drunk.
And then she bolts out of the bar and rushes home to the guy without a boner?
And she strips for him?
I took a step to my right and I spotted Ellen.
Typing away on her phone.
“I’m just leaving,” she said. “Seems like there’s issues here, huh?”
Ellen glared at me.
I shrugged my shoulders. “Sounds personal.”
With Ellen there I couldn’t do what I wanted to do.
Which was kick the office door down and twist this guy’s neck around, bend him back, and shove his own face up his ass.
“Steven, this is not the time or place for this. Actually, there is no time or place. This is done. You cheated.”
“Define cheating, Anna. For Christ’s sake. You act like you’re so available.”
“You don’t think you did anything wrong? Are you kidding me? Just… never mind. I’m not doing this right now.”
“You have no idea what you’re doing, Anna.”
There was silence for a few seconds.
Then I heard Anna say,“Don’t put your hands on me, Steven.”
My head turned.
