Ryen
What in the actual fuck?
What was Parker doing asking me to carpool with him, in front of Willow, of all people. And not just that, he completely let out a story I was trying not to tell Willow. The last thing I needed right now was her asking a million questions, drilling me about Devon not taking me to work that day. She was going to have a complete conniption about it all.
I don't have the energy to try to defend Devon, because honestly, I wasn't sure I could. I was having a hard time convincing myself the last couple of days.
Having to convince Willow would be a whole other feat.
"What. Day. Parker." Willow repeats herself, her eyes fixed on Parker. I am thankful for that. I am not ready for Willows daggered eyes to turn to me.
"What?" Parker's eyes lock with Willows as he rises from the pastry case. His hand closes the glass door as he turns around to face us.
"I said, what day did you give Ryen a ride to work?" Willow's arms tighten to her chest, her body weight leaning onto her right leg, causing her hip to stick out the other side. She is standing like a defense mom.
"Today is Sunday...so Thursday?" His eyes slice to me as I bow my head down to avoid him, I feel them go back to Willow just as fast as they tried to catch mine.
"Interestingâ¦very interesting," Willow turns her body towards me, "Don't you think Ryen?"
I try not to squirm, I've kept the truth from Willow before about Devon, I can do it again. I have never had to worry about her finding out the whole truth because no one else knew. This time it's different because Parker was a part of it. I didn't think he would bring it up again, but he did, and now I am royally fucked.
As I see it, I have two options here, come clean about Devon or try to make up another lie to cover up the truth that I was trying to keep from Willow.
Lie.
"Not particularly, no." I try to sound calm as I bend down and reach into the fridge below the counter.
Willow's brows pinch together, growing more frustrated she shifts her weight to the other leg as I grab the pitchers of cold brew out of the fridge.
"No? Wasn't that the day Deâ" before she can finish her sentence one pitcher of cold brew falls from my hand and shatters on the floor. Brown liquid and glass shards cover the tiles in every direction.
"Shit" I breathe out, Willow's shoes are soaked with coffee as are mine and Parker's.
Idiot!
I rush to my hands and knees to start cleaning up the mess I just created. Not realizing how much of the glass was at my feet. The burn is instant, the crimson red starts to spread on my palm, before I can register what just occurred.
"Ryen, what the fuck!" Willow shouts as she jumped backwards.
"I-I'm sorry." I stutter out, "Can you bring me the rags.
