Chapter Eleven

Eli

I’m not even sure if I’ve slept at all when the alarm goes off on my nightstand, but if I didn’t, I’m too amped up to even notice.

“Mornin’ Mel,” I say as I sit up. As I look at her photo, I feel a twinge of guilt crop up for the first time. “I know this is probably weird for the both of us, but I think you’d like her,” I say before I get up and head to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

It’s been mere days since I last saw Darla, but to me it feels like far longer than that. In fact, since I last saw her, the days have seemed to drag on. The feeling of her ruby red lips lingering on my cheek sticks in my memories.

“Hey, you almost done in there?” Mitch knocks just as I’m finishing up combing my hair.

“Yeah, I’m good,” I say as I step out into the hallway.

“Well, holy smokes, you look even more dapper than usual,” Mitch says.

“Thanks,” I say with a smile. “Hopefully Darla likes it as much as you.”

“Ah, you’re still seeing her?” Mitch asks, his smile smoothing into a straight line. “After all that drama she caused at the bar, I figured maybe you’d have gotten the hint.”

“Nope,” I say with a shrug. “She’s coming here for Valentine’s Day, actually.”

“Here?” Mitch asks, seeming to be surprised.

“Well, yeah, she likes horses,” I reply. “I figured it would be a nice treat for her.”

“I really think you’re making a big mistake here,” Mitch insists. “I’m telling you, Joseph says—”

“Respectfully, I’m not really interested in what he has to say,” I reply and gently push past him, heading for the kitchen.

“I’d say he knows her better than either of us,” Mitch continues as we both reach the kitchen. I open up the fridge and grab the milk, shredded cheese, and some eggs.

“I know you mean well, but I told you already, I like her,” I say. “Just because we have a difference in opinion about her, it doesn’t mean it has to be a thing.”

“She ruined Joe’s life,” Mitch insists.

“Don’t do this,” I sigh as I get out the big mixing bowl and begin to crack eggs into the bowl.

“I’m telling you that you don’t know the whole story!”

“And I’m telling you that Joe isn’t the nice guy you seem to think he is,” I say as I turn to him, and I can see the anger on his face. “He’s a coward and a cheater.”

“I—”

“I think what we need to do is just put this to bed,” I say. “I’m not going to change my mind on this. Besides, cheaters are awful people, and someone who would threaten a woman isn’t too great either.”

“Eli—”

“Mitch, I told ya I don’t got time for this!” I snap, and Mitch gets really quiet for a moment, a bit of red creeping onto his face.

Boy, he’s getting way more upset about this than I imagined he would. It’s so weird.
