No.

His first text came quickly, then the three dots appeared and I waited on his second one.

JT stayed home too. Apparently I broke his nose last night. Rodney didn’t want him to come. Don’t want him to be around you. Jagger knows.

I rolled my eyes. Luckily, he couldn’t see that.

Fender, I’ve been avoiding JT all my life. You can’t have Jagger chauffeur me around. Just because you don’t want me near other men.

The dots appeared almost immediately, but then they disappeared, and shortly after, he was calling me.

My eyes widened. God, he was way too damn controlling.

Worst thing of it all? I kinda liked it.

I picked up and held my phone to my ear. “Hello?”

“Jagger will watch you while I’m gone.”

I sighed. “I’m not a dog, Fender.”

“No, but you’re an insanely beautiful woman with the hottest fucking cunt I’ve ever tasted. In fact, it’s my cunt. And I don’t want anyone to get near it while I’m miles away.”

“But I—”

“Remedy.” His voice was stern. “Jagger will be there soon. He’ll be around until I’m back.”

I was silent for a moment. “And when you’re back, Jagger is still allowed to hang out with me, right?”

“No.”

“Fender!”

“Why would you need him when I’m there?”

“He’s my best friend! You can’t stop me from spending time with him.”

He chuckled. “Sure can.”

“No, you can’t, Fender.” I scowled at the floor, wishing he could see my face. “I might regret saying this, but he’s been my friend before you and I started…whatever this is.”

I swear I could sense his anger. I swallowed hard and waited for him to speak.

“Take the time we’re apart to think about what you want this to be. We’ll talk when I’m back.” He hung up without saying anything else, leaving me speechless once again.

I stared at my phone for a minute, then finally managed to go on with my day.

His words lingered on my mind, and I couldn’t shake the thought of him being angry about what I said. I didn’t mean to upset him. I just wanted to make clear that he couldn’t control me.

Just like Fender said, Jagger came by around lunch time. I opened the front door and looked up at him with a smile tugging at my lips. “Hi.”

“Hey.” He studied me for a moment, then he sighed. “You talked to him.”

I nodded. “And I hate how he thinks he can decide who I’m allowed to hang out with.”

“Told you he’s fucking batshit crazy.”

My eyes widened. “You’re not gonna help me with this?”
