Kyson saw her tits too? He wasn’t out there. Fucker must’ve saw her tits through the glass door. I spin around to face him, and he holds up his hands. “Calm the fuck down.”

“Didn’t you just get laid? Why are you so mad?” Kenzo huffs.

I turn to see Pops watching us. He’s used to us fighting, but the slight smirk on his lips has me thinking he’s onto me.

“None of your business,” I tell them as I walk over to the music and turn it off. The few people who are left glance my way, and I wave to the door. “Everyone…fucking…leave.”

Pops checks around—it is his house, after all. He nods and pours himself a whiskey. I open my bottle of water and nearly down the whole thing in one go. I guess now is as good as ever to talk to Pops.

Kyson eyes me and as if he can read my mind shakes his head, indicating he doesn’t want me to talk to him. Maybe now isn’t the time.

Fine with me.

I can wait.

For now.

She is teaching me to be a patient man.

And now I have to tell Sage…

“You’ve reachedSage from You Beat It, We Spit It. First, let’s start with your name.” I answer the phone as I pop a piece of popcorn in my mouth and sit on my couch. I took the week off work at the bar, not because I wanted to, but because I have been sick. Stupid flu. Though, I probably needed the time off anyway to regroup and recover.

“Sage…”

I know that voice straight away—it’s easy for me to recognize being around it so much. I’m sure I could pick it out in a crowd, no matter what. Shivers rack my body when he speaks again. “I’ve missed you.”

“Have you, though?”

“I have,” he replies.

“You do know when you call now that you only ask me questions. You don’t call to listen to me anymore,” I state.

“That’s because I get enjoyment from your company. All your company.” After a moment, he adds, “You sound off.”

“I am off. I’m eating popcorn and watching horror movies. It’s really putting me off.”

“Of what?”

“Men,” I reply, smiling to myself.

“I hope not this one.”

My smile drops.

I hate that I like hearing his voice.

I hate it a lot.

This man tried to suffocate me.

Fuck me to death.

I mean, come on?
