I walked back into my office and found Dan waiting inside. Izzyâs words ran through my head, and for some reason, it hurt more than it should.
Just because weâre having sex doesnât mean you could include yourself in whatever happens to me.
I flinched as I thought about it. It was like she had pierced my heart, and thinking about it now, I could barely bring myself to forget the look in her eyes when she said the words.
I truly care about her.
Whatever news Izzy got shook her so bad, I saw her stagger even as she held the phone to her ears. I couldnât tell if her father knew about Kyle yet.
Dan could have told him.
I knew her fear of not being a great mom, and I was only trying to help.
Dan was glaring at me, and I noticed he didnât flinch when I looked at him.
âWe need to talk,â he said to me as I closed the door and walked to my seat.
âNot now,â I replied in a gruff voice and sat.
âThen when? Tell me when the timeâs convenient for you to look me in the eye and say youâve been sleeping with my sister?â
I looked up at him after he asked the question. A muscle in Danâs jaw ticked, and he gritted his teeth as he continued. âYou promised you wouldnât hurt her,â he said.
âHurt her? I havenât hurt her, Dan,â I answered, then looked away again.
âWhat youâre doing hurts her, and you know it. Cruz, Izzy is the one woman you canât have. You shouldnât do this. It isnât right.â
âDanâ¦â
âYou gave me your word, and now the entire company might even know you both have been together. I overheard you two just now outside, so you canât even deny it. Who knows who else did!â
âI didnât plan to deny it,â I said, now getting irritated at Danâs nagging. My mind was already spinning in different directions. I was trying to figure out what Izzy thought of me. Did she think I didnât care about her or her affairs?
Just because weâre having sex⦠Was it just sex to her?
My mind was about to explode with my thoughts. I closed my eyes and rubbed my face with my hands.
Dan walked up to my table and slammed his hands down on it.
âYouâre going to stop seeing her,â he said. âYou and Izzy would never work, and you know it. Youâre the kind of guy who would hurt her and what happens if she runs off again? Who knows when next we would see her? Youâre never going to commit to her. She knows that but sheâs doing this with you anyway. Doesnât that tell you that she doesnât mind getting hurt?â
âI wonât do that, Dan,â I said in a quiet voice at first. My temples were starting to ache, and Dan was making it worse with his words. I needed to think, but I didnât need to think about what he was saying right now.
âCruzâ¦â
âGoddamn it, Dan,â I cursed and jerked to my feet.
