“There are no chances with her. Rebecca is married.” I widen my eyes. “Don’t fucking go there.”
He sips his beer, unimpressed. “Where is her dickhead husband anyway? He’s never around.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Typical.” He rolls his eyes. “The one woman I can’t have is the only one I fucking want.”
I sip my beer. “You only want her because you can’t have her.”
“Oh, fuck off,” he huffs. “You just worry about Little Miss Across the Fire. Mason is making his move on your girl as we speak.”
“Hmm.” My eyes rise to watch them. “Not if I throw him in the fire first.”
He chuckles as if imagining it. “How’s things going with her, anyway?”
Great.
“Okay.” I act uninterested.
“She wearing your balls for earrings yet?”
“Does it look like it?”
He smirks. “It does, actually.”
“Fuck off.” I sip my beer. “At least she’s not married to someone else.”
He fakes a smile and then drops his face dead. “You’re fucking hilarious.”
“I think so.”
Mason keeps chatting to the girls, and I’m done watching this shit. I take out my phone and text Juliet.
I’m going.
I watch as she takes her phone out of her pocket and reads my message.
My house, half an hour?
I type my reply.
Make it ten.
Juliet
“Hello?” I call to Henley as I walk into my house.
Silence . . .
He must not be here yet.
“Hello, my little buddy.” I smile to Barry as I scratch his chin. “Did you eat your bone?”
Barry walks back over to his bed and flops down. I’m taking that as a yes.
I make myself a cup of tea and head upstairs. I take my jacket off and dump it on the bed, kick my shoes off, and flick the television on. It’s weird how quickly you get into a new routine. I’ve now gotten used to noise up here. I don’t think I even turned the television on in my bedroom before Henley started coming over to watch our show. Now I seem to turn it on all the time. I sit on the end of the bed and flick through the channels as I sip my tea.
“What will we watch tonight?” I talk to myself as I concentrate on the channels.
