“I’ll be there in a sec,” he calls back.

“NOW!” I yell, feeling good about actually getting to scream for once even though it’s at a wooden door. I bring my foot up and slam it hard, watching as the door rattles on its hinges. It’s not the first time I’ve had to knock this thing down. It’s pretty durable. Maybe another three kicks and it’ll come flying off its hinges. “I’m getting in there whether you want me to or not.”

“Fuck,” the girl in the room panics. “You didn’t tell me you had a girl. What am I supposed to do?”

“The window,” he screeches. “Get your ass out the window. If she gets in here, it’s going to be a fucking bloodbath. Trust me, you don’t want to mess with this bitch. She’s in-fucking-sane.”

I hear rattling around the room as the girl hurries to collect her things and I put my face up against the door. “Listen here, bitch. You can fucking have him if you want him but you’re going to have to come out here and fight me for him. I haven’t cut a bitch in months so I’m really going to enjoy this.”

The bedroom window slides open and I slam my foot against the door even harder. “COME OUT HERE,” I screech, banging my fists rapidly. “My man ain’t going to have some trashy side piece.”

There’s a high-pitched squeal of terror then Kai’s deep rumble. “Hurry the fuck up, girl. The door won’t hold much longer.”

There are a few loud bangs from within the room and when I kick the door again, it goes flying off its hinges, though not in the same way it would had it been one of the boys kicking it down. I’ve seen Nic kick a door down when he thought someone was hurting me and that fucker splintered into a million little pieces.

I storm into the room and find a blonde in nothing but a skimpy thong with all her things in her hands. She’s halfway through the window and staring at me wide-eyed and terrified.

I start racing towards her. “GET BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE HOMEWRECKER.”

She screams and starts moving faster as Kairo dives in front of me, holding me back with everything he’s got. His arms curl around me like steel rods and lift me off the ground. I kick my legs out. “LET ME AT HER.”

Kai looks back at the escaping girl. “GO,” he yells. “HURRY UP.”

The girl practically drops out of the window and I look over Kai’s wide shoulder to watch as she scampers across the grass. Her thick ass jiggles as she runs and as Kai’s eyes drop to mine, we both burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“That was the best one yet,” he tells me, relaxing his arms around my waist and turning his hold into a tight, warm hug.

“I know. I figured she’d at least pull her dress on first.”

“Can’t blame her,” he says, shaking his head as the amusement shines in his eyes. “You did come storming in here like a jealous girlfriend ready to tear her ass in two.”

“I know, I was feeling a little theatrical this morning.”

He rolls his eyes and presses a kiss to my forehead. “I’ve been trying to get that girl out of here for two days,” he explains. “I asked Sebastian to help me out and the fucker just sat back and laughed.”

“Then why the hell didn’t you call me two days ago? I would have come sooner.”

His face twists as he pulls back. “Come on, O,” he says, moving around his room and grabbing a shirt. “You and I both know that I wasn’t about to call you while you were dealing with another death. That’s not fair.”

“Trust me, I would have preferred the distraction. I’m getting kind of sick of always having death on my mind.”

“Sorry, O,” he says, stepping into a pair of sweatpants. “We were all trying to give you space.”

“I know,” I tell him. “It’s fine. I actually really needed a few days just to sit and be sad but I’m feeling alright now. You know, when I’m not thinking about it.”

“How’s your mom handling it? She was friends with the woman, right?”

“Yeah,” I say, briefly looking away not wanting him to see the pain on my face, knowing damn well that if he did, he’d start treating me with kiddie gloves, which would then have the rest of the guys doing the same and I seriously couldn’t handle that right now. “We all were. Maryne was the best. She was one of the good ones.”

“I’m sorry,” Kai says with a deep sigh, walking back across his room and pulling me into his arms. “I didn’t realize how fond you were of her.”

I shrug my shoulders. “Yeah. There’s nothing we can do about it now. She’s gone.”
