I snort. “Fuckin’ stupid. Could be a serial killer.”
“Or he could be a great guy who she falls in love with.”
Wrong again. Luna isn’t capable of that.
Her last piece of shit boyfriend cheated on her before she took off a few years ago. She skipped town and I know for a fact she went to see her father that day. I don’t know exactly what went on, but I can read between the lines. He’s rich. And he’s a goddamn asshole.
“Doubtful. Luna cares about number one and that’s it. She’s always been like that.” Also, not true. Her ex changed her. She used to be sweet, too naïve. She trusted the wrong people.
She’s different now. Sassy. She has an attitude I’d like to spank out of her. Then again, I’d like to spank her just for fuckin’ existing and torturing me this way.
“I don’t know why you give her such a hard time.”
“Clearly, you haven’t heard how she speaks to me. She has the wrath of the devil on her tongue.”
“Maybe she’s reactin’ to you. Don’t know if you know this, brother, but you do have a reputation for bein’ hard to communicate with.”
“You’re just sayin’ that ’cause you’re pussy whipped.”
He shakes his head. “Give me one good reason why you won’t go chasin’ after her?”
I open my mouth.Can I really tell him?
I mean, once the words are out, they’re out. I can’t take them back.
Then I’d have Harlem’s judgment as well as my own, and that would be even worse.
“You wouldn’t understand.”
“Try me.”
I stop to adjust the weights and run a hand over my face. “Gotta promise that this shit is between us,” I say. I feel like I need to get this shit off my chest once and for all.
“Scout’s honor.”
I give him a glare. “Fuckin’ mean it, H. No flappin’ your gums to Indi, got me? If anyone finds out…”
“What the fuck happened?” He stops and stares at me. “Now you’ve really gotta fuckin’ spill the tea.”
It feels wrong, but I think if I tell him, I’ll feel better. Then again, Harlem might look at me like I’m a sick fuck and then decide we’re no longer friends.
I like him.
And I don’t like many people. I doubt I’d be able to convince Summer to be my training buddy and almost chuckle at the thought.
“Fine.” I take a deep breath. “I…”
He keeps staring. “Gettin’ old here, T.”
“We’re, uh, just in the smallest sense…”Fuck.
He drops the lat pulldown bar and sits down facing me. “You knock her up?”
My eyes go wide at such a thought. “For fuck’s sake.”
“She been in jail?”
“You gonna let me tell the fuckin’ story?”
