Wyatt throws something at me as he walks through the door and I automatically lift my hands to catch whatever it is. When the paper bag lands in my hand, I grin.

“Breakfast tacos,” I chuckle.

“Don’t get used to good food like this. We’re just about done with getting anything but possibly soggy sandwiches on day-old bread,” he states.

“I’ve had worse.” I shrug taking the tacos out of the bag. “You eat already?” I ask looking at the six tacos that fill half of the white paper sack.

He grins. “Yeah, cute little waitress hooked me up with tacos…” He lets his words trail off.

“Tacos and what?” I ask.

He shakes his head. “I don’t kiss and tell, fucker.”

“Liar.”

He picks up his pillow and throws it at me. I’m taking a bite of food and it hits me in the side of my head, but I don’t even react, I continue to eat which only makes him laugh, then flip me off.

“Wouldn’t hurt you to find someone else, you know,” I mutter.

“Yeah,” he grunts, turning from me to stare out the window.

It’s windy as fuck outside, the trees swaying in a way where I’m not sure they’re going to hold the rest of the day. It’s not even the calm before the storm, the storm is here, and we’re supposed to just wait it out, hoping not to get caught up in its ferocity.

Kind of like my fucking life. I’m waiting out the moment that Channing finds out I killed a pregnant woman because of my own stupidity. When she discovers the truth, I have no doubt that she will be as ferocious as this CAT four hurricane that is about to slam into the Gulf Coast.

“Sammi isn’t the only woman on the planet. Let that anger go, and move the fuck on,” I suggest. Ignoring my own demons that are screaming at me.

He snorts. “You know I’ve been with other women, right? Just because she keeps appearing in my bed, doesn’t mean that she’s the only girl I’ve fucked.”

Taking another bite of the taco, I nod. “I assumed that, Wyatt. But serious as fuck, cousin, you haven’t opened yourself to anyone. Just because you fucked someone else, doesn’t mean you’ve moved on.”

“And you know all about relationships because you’ve been trying to combat your guilt with the newly abandoned pregnant woman in town?”

Narrowing my gaze on him, my jaw clenches. I know he’s lashing out. He liked Channing and he’s said before that he likes us together. He doesn’t mean what he’s saying, even if he’s being a goddamn prick right now.

“Don’t turn this around to me. We’re talking about you,” I state.

He sighs, lifting his hand I watch as he runs his fingers through his hair before he tugs on the ends. “Yeah, I know. Fifteen years sounds like a long fucking time, but really? It feels like she did what she did only yesterday. I’m so fucking pissed off, and I don’t even like her, Ry,” he says.

“Why did you let her keep coming back?” I ask, curious rather than accusatory.
