“Leave it alone, Liri. This is between them,” Killian says sternly like he’s my father and I don’t like it. I feel like there is some other big secret about to pop off like a damn bomb.
Liam laughs. “Yeah. Okay. Then why don’t I fuck Liri and we’ll be even.”
My face pales. “Are you kidding me right n
ow! Killian?” My throat burns.
“I’m not listening to this.” Liam shoves off from the table and leaves.
“I never fucked Hayley. We made out once. I might have grabbed her boob but nothing more than that I swear to you.”
I should leave with Liam. I can’t believe Hayley never told me. When I asked her about Killian, she acted like she hardly knew him, and now I feel like don’t even know her.
“Liri, baby. It was a long time ago. I swear to you.”
“Stop talking, Killian.” I fold my arms over my chest and stare at the wall. He gets up and slides into the booth with me.
“Look at me.”
“No.” I twist further away from him. Tears well up in the corners of my eyes.
“Please.” His voice sounds low and desperate.
I twist around to face him. “Is there anyone at all that you haven’t kissed, fingered, or fucked!” I snap.
The restaurant goes quiet. The server quietly places our food on the table and runs away from us.
“Damn it, Liri. None of that matters. All I care about is you. Can’t that be enough for you?”
“Every single time I think things are okay between us there’s another girl. Another truth bomb. I can’t take it. I hate it.” Tears roll down my cheeks, and Hayley comes back to the table.
“What’s going on?”
“You’re a liar, and I can’t be around you right now. That’s what!” I scowl at her wanting to punch her in the face. I envision myself grabbing her by the hair and giving her a good shake.
“What?”
I laugh. “Don’t play dumb. Liam told me about your little make out session with my boyfriend.”
“Liri, I knew how much you liked him. I thought it was better to keep that to myself. It was in high school.”
“That’s not the point, Hayley. I thought we were friends. I thought we were family. I thought I finally had someone who was like a sister to me, but you’re no different than Jackie.”
“Liri,” Killian starts.
“No. Don’t you defend her right now to me. Just move and let me out of this booth.”
He slides out and grabs my arm. Everyone is watching the scene, but I don’t care. I’m hurt.
“Let go of me,” I warn him.
“Hey, you okay, Liri?” Hunter steps up holding a pool stick.
“No. Can you get me out of here please?”
“Sure.” He puffs his chest out at Killian, but I don’t have the energy in me to care right now.
“Liri, don’t you dare think of taking one step away from me.”
