“Oh! So your fuck buddy has no idea!”
“Don’t look at her, look at me,” I ordered, and he did.
He eyed me up and down, making all the air from my lungs vanish for a much different reason when he declared…
“You don’t know she’s engaged?”
Thirteen
Ledger
“What the fuck is he talking about?” I snarled.
She stared at me with wide eyes.
Her chest rose and fell while she was frozen in place.
“Hazel.” I stepped toward her. “I won’t ask you again.”
She lifted her ring finger in the air. “I’m not engaged.” Glaring at her brother for a second, she shifted her gaze back to me. “At least not anymore.”
In two strides, I was in her face.
“Were you engaged the night—”
“No! I’m not a cheater, Ledger. I’d never do that.”
“Then what the fuck is going on?”
“It’s complicated.”
“I want you to look me in the eyes and uncomplicate it for me.” When she didn’t respond fast enough, I demanded, “Now!”
She jolted. “I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“I want the truth.”
Chance sought out, “You heard your baby daddy, Hazel. How about you explain it to both of us because I can’t keep up with your love life any more than he can.”
“Oh my God. This has nothing to do with me being pregnant.”
I didn’t pay her any mind. My focus was still on her being engaged at one point.
She mirrored my stance, standing taller. “I don’t owe any explanation for my personal life, Ledger. Regardless of what you think, I owe you nothing.”
I growled from deep within my chest, not backing down. “I’m only going to say this once, so you better fucking listen. If you think another man will raise my kid, then you have no idea who you’re dealing with.”
“Let me remind you that we’re not a couple, and I’m free to be with anyone I choose. Now or in the future.”
“I’ll take you to court before another man—”
“You fucking asshole! I swear to God, Ledger, I’ll—”
“You’ll what? Tell me, sweetheart, what will you do?”
“You have no right to be angry with me! I didn’t do anything wrong! You’re the reason we’re in this mess. You couldn’t just leave well enough alone. You had to approach me at the bar?”
“I didn’t know it was you until you were already in my arms.”
