Then I was in front of her. Her eyes were closed, so she didn’t even know I was there. Like this, I could see the flecks of gold on her eyelids, and how thick her lashes were. How her pink lips were glossy and plump. All I wanted to do was kiss her. I wanted to take her out of here and tuck her into my bed. I also wanted to fuck her rough and smack her ass for coming on this date with Jeffery. She may not realize that’s what it is, but Jeffery sure as fuck thought so.
“Hey, Liam! Everything good, man?” Jeffery yelled at me like we were friends.
I didn’t even know the idiot. I didn’t miss how his arm wrapped around Haley’s stomach possessively, tugging her back into his chest. He’d fucked up, though, because as soon as she heard my name, Haley’s eyes popped open, and she was clawing at Jeffery’s wrist.
“Liam?”
Everything in my head went quiet.
She belonged with me, and I had never been surer of anything in my entire life.
I pulled her out of his arms, until she was flush against me, my lips at her ear.
“This isn’t working.”
Her eyes rounded, all large and worried. Jeffery was yelling at me, his arms wide like he wasn’t sure what the fuck was going on.
“What’s not working?” she yelled back, her palms going flat on my chest.
“You with him. You taking it slow, or whatever the fuck it is you think you’re doing.”
I tangled my fingers with hers and pulled her away from the floor, through the couples until we were outside. Jeffery was on our heels, peppering us both with questions that we ignored.
“What’s going on?” he asked once we’d pushed outside, his eyes wide and shocked.
“Go back inside,” I demanded, pulling Haley behind me.
She pushed at my back, trying to move me, but it wasn’t going to happen.
“Haley, are you okay with this?” Jeffery tried to look past me.
I shoved him back a few feet.
“What the fuck, man?” he yelled.
“Liam, what the hell? You need to chill,” Haley said at my back, pulling my arm.
I gripped her hip by twisting my arm back, holding her in place.
“We’re leaving.”
Jeffery muttered something under his breath. He really had no idea how much self-restraint I was showing.
“Haley, you don’t have to go with him. This is exactly what I was talking about. Dude is fucking crazy!” Jeffery roared from behind me.
I had turned and was watching Haley, her green eyes narrowed on Jeffery. Something on her face transformed when he said that. She went from fighting me to holding my hand.
“I drove here,” she said quietly.
Not wanting to waste another second, I pulled her behind me. “We’ll come back for it.”
Jeffery could go fuck himself.

I helpedHaley settle into the passenger seat of my truck and then we took off.
“Your place or mine?” I asked, revving the engine with more intensity than needed, but I really wanted to punch that mother fucker.
