“What’s good?”
“Us.”
I did a head jerk.
He was right. It was good. That was the point.
I stood up. “I think I should go.”
I started to walk to the bedroom, rethinking stealing his shirt. He was a little harder to break up with than Oscar,orLuis, and Luis had asked me to marry him. At that juncture, I didn’t think Eddie would appreciate me stealing his clothes.
I got about three steps before my arm was grabbed and Eddie swung me around.
I didn’t want to hear what he had to say, so I started talking immediately, “I’m going to go. I’ll call Lottie. She can pick me up.”
“You’re not goin’ anywhere, we’re gonna talk this shit out.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“You fuckin’ better believe there is.”
“Eddie, please. Don’t.”
“Chiquita, you’re a pain in the ass, but you aren’t boring, you aren’t normal and you aren’t average. That’s the point. It would be cute that you don’t realize how fuckin’ pretty you are, except you get yourself kissed and end up with your head in other guy’s laps. You bein’ shy is sweet, but the attitude is better.”
“The attitude was all about Slick and Vince and now that they’re gone—”
“The attitude was latent. Slick and Vince, and likely Indy and Ally, brought it out.”
“Really, I don’t think—”
His arms came around me and he pulled me, hard, up against his body and his head tilted down to mine as I looked up.
“Eddie.”
“You aren’t breakin’ up with me and you aren’t leavin’. We’re gonna finish our toast and coffee and then I’m takin’ you into the bedroom and fuckin’ you so hard that idiot brain of yours won’t think of anything but me movin’ inside you. Then after that, we’re gonna have a normal, average day doing some normal, average shit before some other crisis blows us back into pandemonium.”
“There won’t be another crisis,” I said.
“There’s always another crisis.”
“Eddie, let me go.”
“That’s not gonna happen.”
I started panicking. It was a delayed reaction panic, but I’d finally realized that this was not going well.
At all.
“Eddie,let me go!” I kind of shouted.
His arms tightened and he shook me a bit. “It’s not gonna happen!” he shouted back.
Okay, I was full-on panic at that point.
“You have to let me go!” Definitely a shout.
“Why?” he asked.
