“Shaken up and rethinking her vow never to get back together with Belova again because the shit they told her they were gonna do to him shook her up more than you all gettin’ kidnapped did. So now she says she wants to move with him to Sri Lanka or wherever the f**k. But other than that, they didn’t have time to do more before Hawk ended their party.”
Well, that was a relief.
“And Aunt Bette?”
“Hawk took her to your uncle. Reported in and apparently your aunt’s made of steel. Even f**kin’ Hawk Delgado was all about respect when he talked about her.”
Definitely Aunt Bette had secret ways.
I kept up my interrogation. “And why am I here?”
“Because you’re Chaos. They ain’t Chaos, darlin’.”
“Let’s explore that,” I suggested. “I’m Chaos?”
“Was my dick just in you?”
I fought an annoyed growl and said, “Uh… yeah.”
“Then you’re Chaos.”
“Is that all it takes?”
“That and pizza and puttin’ up with your attitude and watchin’ movies with you that make you cry, yeah, that’s all it takes.”
That was certainly interesting but I had other things I needed to explore.
Therefore, I moved on.
“What was that with Lanie?” I asked.
“What was what with Lanie?” was his uninformative response.
“Well, I’m na**d in bed with you, who’s mostly naked. I work for you. I fight with you. I watched a movie with you, actually two, almost three. You brought me pizza –”
He cut in to demand, “Get to the point, darlin’.”
“You made her pancakes,” I stated on what sounded like an accusation because, well, it kind of was.
“So?”
“That’s it.”
“And?”
“Well, I think, should you happen upon our rescue vehicle after we’ve been kidnapped, considering all that, it should get to be me who rides away on the back of your bike with you, not Lanie.”
I saw the white flash of teeth surrounded by his dark goatee indicating he was smiling and got another squeeze before he whispered, “Jealous?”
Um… hell no.
So hell no, I was so pissed, I managed to yank straight out of his arms and I rolled. I got to my feet beside the bed righting my bra as I went in search of my underwear and shorts.
“Babe, get back in bed.”
“No, I’m going home.”
“Unh-unh, you’re gonna stop bein’ stupid and get your ass back in my bed.”
