Cian: Chapter 11

Upon entering her apartment, I didn't wait to question her about what Kim had meant. I steered her to the sofa and sat her down. She tried to avoid my gaze, but I wouldn’t let her. At last, she sighed and met my gaze.

“Tell me what happened earlier today. That woman said another man came to visit you. Was it your dad or Carruthers? Or do you have more men in your life I don’t know about?”

“Cian, don’t get so worked up. I knew if you found out about it, you’d be upset. Try and keep your cool, please.”

“Just tell me and I’ll do my best to keep my cool. Who was it? What was said or done?”

“It wasn’t Dad. It was Carruthers. He came in right before I went on my lunch break. He insisted on speaking to me, so we went outside and talked. I didn’t want him going off inside where my colleagues could hear him and gossip all over town about it. I guess that wish is wasted. Anyway, he said he was there to talk sense into me. That I’d lost my mind. He told me that Dad had told him what happened last weekend. He babbled about warning me about the O’Sheeran family and asked me how you got your hooks into me. Were you threatening me in some way or trying to hurt my dad? I told him you weren't threatening me or my dad. That we like each other and we’re dating.”

“What did he say to that?”

“He accused me of being stupid because everyone knows you wouldn’t date a nobody like me. You’re into sophisticated and wealthy women who have no morals. He said I needed to get far away from you and that he could help me.”

“What did you say to that?”

“I acted innocent and asked him what he could do to help me. That’s when he dropped the bomb that we should get engaged and start seeing each other. He thinks you’ll realize I saw through your lies and will accept me being with a man who’s been my match all along. You’ll move on to other women.” The fury on Cian’s face grew, but he kept quiet. I hastened to tell him the rest.

“I explained I don’t see him that way and couldn’t pretend. He spouted something about as a daughter, I needed to do what my dad wanted and it’s my duty to do as he sees fit. Apparently, he thinks I can learn to love him. He pissed me off so to get back at him, I said if marrying one of my dad’s officers was all Dad wanted then I’d marry Flint.”

“Who the fuck is Flint?”

I giggled. “He’s the Belgian Malinois K-9 officer they have on the force. To his credit, he is one sexy, good-looking dog. Carruthers wasn’t amused and ordered me to marry him or else. I told him the whole discussion was ridiculous and started to go inside.” I hesitated, not wanting to tell him the rest.
