I answered without picking my head up from Luca’s chest.
“Hello?” I mumbled.
“Why is it I just heard that you yelled at a fucking senior officer in the Navy, one in which I’m
really good buddies with, and you almost got your fucking head chopped off by a helicopter rotor?”
My dad’s very annoyed voice filled the line.
I closed my eyes.
Of course, he would be direct friends with the guy.
“I wasn’t in a good state,” I admitted.
“What kind of state could you possibly be in that would give you the thought that it was okay to
use that kind of language with a man?” he asked. “Officer or not, military or not, I didn’t raise you to act like that.”
I immediately felt like shit.
He was right, of course.
My bad day didn’t give me the excuse to use that kind of language with anyone.
“I told you,” I said. “I’m not in a good state.”
He growled. “Like I said, what kind of state allows that?”
I suddenly was pissed all fucking over again.
“The kind of fucking state where I yell at goddamn men who yell at men who helped me today,
okay?” I snapped.
I immediately regretted it the moment the words left my mouth.
My dad’s silence was quelling.
“Where are you?” he asked.
I looked around at where we were at and had no clue.
“I don’t know,” I admitted truthfully.
And before I could say anything more, Luca was taking the phone from me.
Because I was so freakin’ tired, I didn’t protest.
I also didn’t care what he was saying.
I was just plain exhausted.
I wanted to sleep for about ten hours straight and forget life for a couple of seconds.
Preferably in Luca’s arms while I pretended that everything was okay when it wasn’t.
I was so lost in the rumble of Luca’s chest that I didn’t notice that he was done talking to my dad, and talking to me instead, until he squeezed me tight.
