“Why Ms. Taylor of course.”
“Si…” She gut punched me before I could get her name past my lips. “Babe seriously, use your head, why the fuck would I buy her flowers?” I was pretty sure she’d already drawn her own conclusions as to my guilt from the fire coming out of her eyes. I’ll take her ass to task later for even entertaining that thought.
“I don’t know asshole you tell me.” I grabbed her arm before the nut could get away and turned to the nurse. “Who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you lying?”
“What? I don’t understand. Ms. Mandy just happened to mention that you were the one to send her the lilies because you knew they were her favorite. And when I heard you tell the nurses your name I knew it had to be you, such an unusual name.”
“Where did they come from?”
“What? I don’t understand.” This bitch was lying and she wasn’t even that good at it. I wondered how much Mandy paid her to fuck with my life and if she knew it wasn’t enough since if this shit hurt Sian I was going to drop kick her ass out the nearest window, right before I break Mandy’s neck.
“These flowers how did they get here?” I kept my voice calm but inside I was seething. I could see the look of hurt and confusion on my girl’s face and yes some of my anger was directed at myself. I should’ve waited and come here another time, fuck.
“Um, you brought them?”
“Really? Babe, did I have flowers when I came here with you?” She was starting to calm her ass down and my gut was still stinging, fucking female.
“I just left your sneaky ass downstairs when did I have time to buy shit?” Her ass must’ve been right on my damn heels, nosy fuck.
“Look at me Sian, and don’t make me do this shit again. I will never cheat on you, not now not twenty years from now. If I even think of that shit my dick might fall off. He knows who he belongs to.”
She gave me one of her smiles and I squeezed her ass as a prelude of things to come. I’d almost forgot the idiot that was standing there gaping at us. “You can go tell your mistress that the shit didn’t work.”
I put my arm around Sian and walked away. I hadn’t learned much from my little snooping expedition but that little show had cleared up one thing, that bitch was up to something and she was for sure faking it.
“Jace what were you doing up here?” Shit! “Trying to get information, why are you up here what did the doctor say?” Good waylay her any way you can because she’d nitpick this shit to death if you let her.
“Never mind what the doctor said, why don’t you ever listen? Weren’t you told to stay away, to let the cops do their job?”
“Babe seriously, the fucking cops are assholes, they came after me, how much longer do you think it will take them to go sniffing in the right direction?”
“I don’t care, you need to stop or I’m going back home until this all blows over before you get yourself thrown in jail.”
“Home, home where, your parents?”
“No, I have friends and family in my old town…” I pushed her up against the nearest wall.
“What the fuck did that doctor shoot you up with?”
“What? nothing it was just a check-up.” I checked her eyes just to be sure because she was talking crazy.
“You sure, because you’re spewing so much shit I thought you might be on something.” She rolled her eyes at me and tried to get away but I held her in place and stole a kiss.
“How long has it been?” I pressed my hard-on into her so that she would know exactly what I was talking about. “Jace…”
“How long?” That little singsong voice of hers told me she was missing her man too. Maybe that’s why she was talking crazy. Last night had been torture, and not just because I hadn’t been inside her, but because she wasn’t there. “Two days.”
“Too long.”
I lowered my mouth to hers being careful as I drew her into my arms. “Ummm, I missed you, I’m taking you home with me. You seem to lose your damn mind when you don’t get your fix.”
“Arrrggggghhhhhhh…”
“What the fuck?” I pushed Sian behind me and turned to face the danger. There was Mandy standing in a doorway down the hall looking like shit with death in her eyes.
This bitch is crazy. I started to go strangle the fuck outta her, but the nosy one held me back. “Oh no you don’t Jace Sanders, you leave that twit alone.” She had a damn death grip on my arm.
Sometimes, like now, a man has to show his woman that just because he’s in love he didn’t give up his balls. I stopped short of dragging her behind me because she was still hurt, but I sure did move across that hospital floor.
It was the first opportunity I had to face off with this bitch and I wasn’t about to waste it. “I know you had something to do with what happened to her, I’m just waiting for the chance.”
“How dare you? I’m the one who’s hurt. I’m the one who nearly died. Not this, this…” She flung her arm out towards Sian and had the good sense to keep her thoughts behind her teeth before I knocked them the fuck out her head watchdog or no watchdog.
“Your ass is still breathing so I guess they missed, too fucking bad.” Did I really use to fuck this? Shame on me! I actually hated her, never knew until this moment just how much.
She had no idea that I knew what she was. If I let that cat out of the bag it might scratch a few innocent people and I didn’t want that. But if I could hang this bitch with what I know I would’ve a long time ago.
