Not in a place where Imani could love me.

“Anytime.” Misty smiled and glanced out the door. “And get those boys out of here.”

“What bo—” I glanced out the door to see João’s car parked in Misty’s driveway.

João and Kai were in the front seats with their gazes fixed on me, as if they were either angry or fucking furious.

They had been that way since this weekend because of Imani.

I hadn’t figured out what had happened. Neither of those assholes liked to talk.

“Fuck, I’ll handle it,” I said. “See ya later.”

Stepping out into the cold, I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked toward João’s car, knowing that this bitch wasn’t going to let me walk past him and pretend like I hadn’t even seen him. He’d run me the fuck over if I tried that.

I pulled open the back door and slid into the car. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

“Where were you?” João asked, hand tightening around the steering wheel.

“None of your fucking business.”

“Is this the chick you’ve been hanging out with after school?” João asked. “The chick you’ve been cheating on Imani with?”

“I’m not fucking cheating on Imani,” I said between clenched teeth. “She’s my cousin.”

Kai stayed quiet from the front seat.

“Your fucking cousin, huh?” João asked.

“Yes, my cousin.”

“Does Imani know that?” Kai finally asked.

“Yes, she fucking does,” I said, balling my hands into fists. “Don’t get fucking angry with me because you both pissed her off this weekend. I don’t know what the fuck you did to make her angry, but that shit isn’t my problem.”

“Bullshit,” João said. “She hasn’t talked to you today either.”

“For someone who doesn’t like her, you fucking care a lot about what she does,” I said.

João shut off the car. “If you won’t tell me what the fuck you and your cousin are up to, then I’ll fucking ask her. And it won’t be pretty, Landon. This was your fucking—”

“She’s my fucking therapist!” I shouted, pissed the fuck off at them.

Both João and Kai became quiet.

I loathed that they’d had to find out this way. “Maybe you two could use it too. I’m fucking tired of hearing you complain, João. We’re all fucked up in the head. Now, fucking drop it.”
