“You don’t fucking know that, Chris. If anything happens to either one of them, it will crush the other one. They are like sisters, and you crushed Tia’s favorite person. Do you realize that Tia is likely to castrate you if I can’t control her reaction to knowing what happened between you and Jazz?”
“Laura, go get Tia. I’m on my way to get Jasmine.”
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Tia told me you terminated her scholarship.”
Well, word travels fast around here. “Yes, I did. But I can also reinstate it. That’s not important right now.”
“Fine. But when this is all over, you and I are going to have a talk.” She hangs up on me, and I pull forward to the red light.
Me: Put Jasmine in the dungeon. Blindfold her.
Xavier:With pleasure.
Me:Nothing sexual.
Xavier:I don’t cheat on my family. You have no worries there.
Laura is walking Tia out, and when she sees me, they make a beeline toward me as I get out of the car.
“What were you thinking?” Laura asks Tia, and she looks at her, brat mode activated. Oh yeah, there’s going to be a punishment later for her, I’m sure.
“These people could have hurt you, Tia.”
Tia shrugs. “I will go anywhere Jazz goes, Mommy. And you already knew this. I don’t know why it comes as a surprise that I would go to hell for her.”
I sigh, and Laura looks at me. “You better make this shit right. Tia has already told me she will quit school the second you release Jasmine if she’s not reinstated.”
Looking at Tia, I smile. “You are a good friend, but this is between Jasmine and I now. You need to go home and be with your Mommy.”
“I would love that, but you are an asshole and totally ruined my friend. She never drinks. Never. She did tonight, and you’re the fucking reason.”
Laura pulls Tia to the car and locks her inside. “Don’t get out of this card, goddamn it.”
She turns back to me, and I know what she’s going to say. I’ve been saying it to myself since I met Jasmine. “How the fuck, could you do this Chris?”
“Does it matter?”
As she shakes her head, I can read her disappointment. “You were so there for me and Tia. And now that you have your own little girl, you fuck it up for some kind of game?”
“You don’t know what you are talking about.” I clutch my keys tightly to the point the teeth bite into my skin.
“You know, I thought I knew you better than this. I guess I was wrong. Just don’t hurt her any more than you already have.”
When she walks away from me, I walk to the house and I see Xavier standing there. He doesn’t look haunted any longer and is holding a little boy in his arms. The two men that come out, holding a baby in each arm must be their other babies.
“Wow, you all three actually are in a relationship together, huh?”
I had seen an announcement in the alumni paper about Xavier. It didn’t surprise me, there was some crazy connection between the three boys.
“Yeah, we did and you’ll be a fucking gentleman in front of our wife.”
“Not a problem. Just point me toward the dungeon, and I will be out of your hair.”
They move away from the door but I feel their eyes on me as I cross their threshold and smell sugar cookies.
“Hi.” I look at the young woman who has a baby bump and then look back at the guys. Holy hell. A fourth one? I don’t dare ask. “You must be Mr. Groveton. I’m Charlotte.”
The guys put the babies down in the playpen, walking over to her and holding her in some form. My heart aches at the thought of never holding Jasmine again. It’s for the best. I’m not good enough for her, and that’s obvious since I destroyed her enough to go get drunk in a psycho’s territory.
