“See you all later,” I said.
I started to go but Lee caught my wrist.
I turned back to him.
“You’re forgetting two things,” Lee said.
“What’re those?” I asked.
His eyes moved to my tank top. “First, you need to change into real clothes.”
Um…excuse me?
“Sorry?” I asked, just in case he hadn’t just been totally out of line I’d give him an out.
“You aren’t wearin’ that out of this house,” Lee replied.
I hadn’t missed it. He had been totally out of line.
I wasn’t sure if it was the room or just my head that started rumbling, like in the movies before the earthquake that swallows cars and whole buildings.
“Um,sorry?” I repeated, this time chockfull of attitude.
Eddie lifted up his hand and started inspecting his fingernails. I could mostly see just his profile, but I knew he was grinning because I could see his fucking dimple.
“Maybe we should have this conversation upstairs,” Lee suggested when he saw my attention turn to Eddie.
“Maybe we should have this conversation in an alternate universe where Alternate Indy gives a shit what Alternate Lee wants her to wear.”
No way to miss the attitude inthat.
Eddie stood. “I’ll just top up my coffee.”
“I’m sorry, Eddie,” I said to him as he walked into the kitchen.
“Don’t mind me,” Eddie returned, making a beeline to the coffee.
Once Eddie disappeared, I hissed at Lee, “Tell me you just didn’t tell me what to wear in front of Eddie.”
“I’ll tell you that when the image of you flirting with him isn’t freshly burned into my brain,” Lee replied.
Yep, I was right. Lee was not in a good mood about my flirting with Eddie.
I ripped my wrist out of Lee’s hand.
“It’s okay, Eddie,” I called. “You can come back. I’m leaving.”
“You try to leave, I’ll carry you upstairs and change you myself,” Lee threatened.
Eddie leaned his shoulder in the doorway of the kitchen. “I’m thinkin’ you aren’t quite finished.” Then Eddie decided to throw down. “For what it’s worth, I’m with Lee. If you were my woman, there’s no fuckin’ way I’d let you out of the house wearin’ that.”
I glared at him. “Did someone ask you?”
“Nope. Just tryin’ to be helpful,” Eddie answered, grinned and walked into the room.
I opened my mouth to, I don’t know, scream, shriek, talk in tongues, when a sound came from the back door.
“Yoo hoo!”
