He does a fake cold shiver. “Yes I can imagine, that’s why I’m not planning on doing it for at least…ten years.” I roll my eyes.
Ben walks into the kitchen. “Can I see you in the security room, Josh?”
I frown. “Sure.” I follow him out of the room and down the corridor. “What’s this about?” I ask and he looks at me uncomfortably.
“I have been running the security tapes this morning and I found something very interesting in Murphy’s house.”
I frown and gesture to the screen. “Run the tape.” He puts it on and my stomach drops. I watch in slow motion as Adrian’s boyfriend Ross drives into the driveway of Adrian’s house in Adrian’s car. He’s not alone, he has another man with him and it is night–time. “What time is this?” I snap. “Two am,” he replies. I rub my forehead in frustration, fuck I know where this is going. We both sit in silence as the tape plays, he goes around and opens the car door for the guy and pulls him out and then he is pinning him up against the car kissing him…Adrian’s fucking car…at Adrian’s fucking house. I stand still with my legs wide and my arms crossed as I watch. I am fuming. That sleazy fuck.
“That’s not it,” Ben says and my eyes widen.
“How many?” I ask.
He winces. “I’m up to twelve and we had only been gone eight weeks, there is another four weeks to go through yet.” Contempt drips from my every pore, never have I hated anyone like I do Ross. And unfortunately I now have the proof of what I have known all along. I feel sick. How am I supposed to tell Adrian this shit? He deserves better. I blow out a breath and return to the living room to get my phone and I text Adrian:
Hi Murph, can you come over now?
I wait for him to reply and a text beeps:
Not really. What’s up?
I text back:
Where are you?
A text beeps back:
I’m at home but I am going to Ross’s soon. Can’t I see you later? Is it really that urgent?
I fume again at the mention of that prick’s name:
YES this is a matter of urgency.
Get here now!
I wait for his reply:
You’re a pain in my ass, Stanton.
See you soon.
I turn to Ben.
“Bring the car around, time to pay lover boy a visit.” He nods, understanding my meaning.
“Sure thing.” I walk up the stairs with renewed purpose. He’s fucked with the wrong person if he thinks I will let him do this and get away with it. I walk into my room to quickly get dressed and there she is. Lying naked in the middle of my bed smiling up at me. My god, those dimples are beautiful. I lie down on the bed next to her and gently kiss her lips as I push the hair off her forehead.
“Morning beautiful, how did you sleep?” She gives me a mussed–up sexy smile.
“Fine thanks, but you know I hate waking up alone. Where have you been?” she says as she stretches her arms.
I kiss her again and smile. “Can you do me a favour?”
She smiles and nods as she runs her hand up my legs to my shorts.
“Hmm, I like the sound of that,” she purrs.
I wish. “No, not that, can you keep Adrian busy for an hour or so. I need to organise something for him—a surprise—and I don’t want him to know. Could you do that for me, presh?”
