“I’m not moving,” she snapped.
“Yeah you are.”
She started walking towards me and motioned for me to move.
“Office rules Taelyn. You listen to me during the hours of--.”
“You’re an ass!”
“No, just trying to keep your little ass safe! Do you know how easy it is to walk into your building? I picked your fucking lock and it wasn’t all that difficult--.”
“Congratulations on your criminal activities; now move.” Her hands were on her hips and she was trying to be bad ass. Hot as hell. I glanced down and could see her nipples through her shirt.
“And you like it. It makes you hot.” I leaned forward and sniffed the air.
“What the hell are you doing?” She covered her chest by crossing her arms.
“Your nipples are hard, I was just waiting to see how long it was before I could smell your hot, wet, sweet--.”
“You better watch it,” she snapped.
“No you listen to me. I want you to be safe. Your little friend Danny Boy, he got your number from the bank. When you called and changed your phone number you failed to close the joint account. Care to explain that?”
“There were checks out.”
“Yeah, rent and car insurance. Why the fuck didn’t you close it and let that shit bounce? Let him pay his own fucking bills? He fucking--.”
“I said I would pay it. I had already mailed the checks. I’m not gonna just let that happen.”
“You’re going back to him aren’t you? Is that why you wanna go back there? So you can fuck old Danny the dud? Can he make you scream like I do? He eat your pussy and drive you crazy like--.”
“Shut up Xavier, just shut up--.”
“Oh that’s right, it’s not kosher.”
Her eyes immediately filled up and my chest tightened.
“You trying to pull a fast one on me? Fake cry so I --.”
“Leave. Me. Alone.” She was trembling.
“Answer my question. What the hell do you want from me?” I demanded.
“Nothing. Not one thing. Just let me leave.”
“How?” We stared at each other for a moment neither saying a word. “Do you see what you’re doing to me Taelyn? Do you! Fuck this. Fuck it all.” I turned to walk away and then looked back. “I keep my word. You go back to the city; you go with James until your big bad brothers can try to take care of you. You go home and you can try to forget about me, but I can promise you one thing, it won’t be fucking easy.”
“You’re a self-absorbed--.”
I turned around and walked back towards her. If she were a guy there would be no more words exchanged, but she wasn’t.
“Self-absorbed? Self- fucking absorbed! You’ve been like a sponge sucking me up since the day you walked into that office at Steel. You acted all high and mighty. Like you’re some fucking tough girl who has her shit together. You made me pant after you like a fucking dog. Then you fell apart. I took care of you sweetheart. Be honest with yourself, you fucking loved that as much as you liked my tongue in your cunt. So fuck you! Do whatever you want. Moving day is tomorrow. Take it or leave it. I’ll message you some bullshit tasks to keep you busy.”
I turned and walked the fuck out as fast as I could before she cried, ‘cause if she did, I was gonna be more fucked up than I was already.

I sat at the bar waiting for Memphis Black’s band to show up. I was so fucked up all I wanted to do was drink, listen to some music, and fuck whatever walked through the door that looked like she wasn’t looking to be saved. Fuck!
I had emailed Taelyn to start working on a website for Forever Four. I knew she was more than capable. That’s what she and Billy boy had worked on; I knew this because James was listening to them from the hallway. Yeah I was that fucked up about her. And that shit would change tonight.
The band was called Black and they drew a bigger crowd than Beckett’s band. He could sing and played the strings really well. His voice was excellent and he had great stage presence too. I did another shot and turned around in my stool to face the stage.
