CHAPTER TEN

I rushed home to take a quick shower before heading out again to interview people. Unfortunately for me, I found an unwelcome surprise waiting for me in the driveway. Christopher.

“What do you want?” I snapped, breezing past him.

He darted in front of me, shoving a bouquet of flowers in my face. “Here.” He gave his best puppy-dog face. “I’m sorry.”

“Just go away,” I said, unlocking the door.

Emma was just coming out of the kitchen, a bowl of salad in her hand. She glared at Chris. “I made the shithead wait outside. Want me to call the cops?”

“What? No, don’t call the cops. I can handle it.”

“Okaaaay,” she said, going up the stairs and munching on a forkful of salad.

“She’s gotten a whole lot bitchier in the past few days,” Chris said, following me inside.

I didn’t bother closing the door, since he would be leaving soon, anyway. “Yeah, that happens when someone screws over your best friend.”

Another one of his trademark sighs that made me feel like a four-year-old. “It was just sex. It meant nothing to me. She meant nothing to me.”

“Ugh, and that’s better?”

“Uh…yeah.”

“Okay, so I do mean something to you, then?”

“Well…of course” He shrugged. “We fit together.”

I snatched the flowers from his hand. “Then what the hell are these? How many times did I tell you that I hate flowers? That they make me sad ‘cause they are already dying? How many times did I tell you that the only gift you could ever give me that was a guaranteed hit was chocolates?”

“You don’t expect me to buy you chocolates, do you?” He scoffed. “That would be like buying a junkie just a bit of crack.”

“Uh, you’re the worst. I’m tired of listening to you put me down. I’m fine the way I am, in fact, I like the way I am! I don’t have to be a size four like Nurse Crusty-Clam. You guys deserve each other.”

“Lacey, come on. I said I was sorry, didn’t I? What else do you want?”

“Congratulations, Chris, you’re sorry for fucking another woman while we were dating. You’re officially a mediocre human being. Happy? Now, please do me the gigantic favor of fucking straight off!”

His eyebrows narrowed. “What the hell is wrong with you? What do you expect here, Lacey?” He took a step closer, towering over me. “Look at me. You think you’re going to do better?” He grabbed me by the arm. I felt myself shrink under his tight grip. I’d never seen him like this. He was always kind of a jerk, but never this domineering before. “Frankly, I’ve tried to be patient with you,” he continued. “But I think it’s about time you stop acting like a spoiled little brat—”

Before I even realized what was going on, Chris flew backward, eyes wide as dinner plates. Sean had him by the back of his jacket and slammed him against the wall. “I think that’s about enough of that,” Sean snarled, looking him dead in the eye. “Lacey, honey, may I have those flowers, please?”

“Uh, sure.
