We started toward the front of the restaurant to leave and she frowned at the arrangement.
“Shit now you’re making me feel bad.” She glanced around and shoved them into the chest of one of the servers. “Here, happy whatever occasion you want it to be.”
The woman looked at her crazy but didn’t unhand the flowers. She simply smiled, said thank you, and walked off. “Trini, what the fuck?”
“It made her happy. You saw her smile.”
“No, it scared the shit out of her and she was too in shock to refuse.”
“Either way, someone gets to enjoy some very expensive flowers.”
“Unless she tosses them.”
“Not my problem or yours. We did our part so all is right with the universe.”
We walked to our cars, said our goodbyes, and made plans to see each other soon. I slipped into my truck and smiled at the thought of going home to my husband because fuck, I missed him.

After I got home, I showered and changed into cotton shorts and a matching cropped crewneck. Elias wasn’t in our room but that didn’t mean he wasn’t somewhere on the property. The house was massive and easy to get lost in. I called and texted but didn’t get a response so I decided to search the house but was interrupted as soon as I reached the foyer by Sasha walking in the door. I’d seen her multiple times but couldn’t honestly say we ever had a conversation. She seemed nice enough but not very welcoming.
“Hey…” I greeted her as nicely as possible. She narrowed her eyes my way then rolled them.
Okay…
“Is there a problem?”
“No but give it some time and your marital bliss won’t be so blissful.”
Yeah, definitely a problem but not with me.
“I appreciate the unsolicited advice but I was thinking more if there was a problem between you and I considering I’ve been nothing but nice to you and you’ve basically been a bitch to me.”
“No, no problem at all. Forgive me for not diving right in to be your new bestie but I don’t have room in my contacts to add anyone else. So unfortunately, all I can offer is a big fuck you like I give everyone else that lives here.”
“Sasha! That’s enough!”
Ez’s voice boomed from the top of the stairs and when I looked up, his expression was explosive and murderous.
And directed at his wife.
“Sorry, I guess my husband has yet another issue with me. Thanks for that.”
Is she really blaming me?
When he reached us she moved to go up the same stairs he’d just come down but he stepped in her way.
“Your problem is with me, not Cress or anyone else in this house. Try to remember that or you’re not going to like how I respond.”
“Yessir, noted and fuck you too,” she rattled off, pushing past him to go up the stairs.
“I apologize.” His expression softened.
“Don’t. Her words, not yours and I really don’t care.”
He studied me for a minute. “Your marriage doesn’t have to be like ours.”
I lifted a brow and smirked. “Oh, trust me. I know that. It will never be like whatever that is.” I pointed to him then up the stairs and he cracked a smile.
