CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Max

I can see Kyle’s protruding jaw muscles and flaring nostrils, and I know something’s wrong. He is definitely bothered by his brother’s offer, but he really needs to stop. Junior hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s just being thoughtful.

“Yes, that would be great. I wouldn’t mind going this weekend.” I’m not one for dealing with jealousy. I dealt with enough of that when I was with Cody.

I put down my fork and knife. I’m stuffed. Greg signals the waitress over for some to-go boxes.

“What the fuck is that face for?” Junior snaps at Kyle. I look to Kyle, confused.

He’s clearly annoyed. “What face?” Kyle spits out.

“You have a pissy-bitch face on.”

“Knock it off, you two!” Connie whispers.

“Knock what off, Ma? I didn’t start this. He did,” Kyle states, nodding his head in Junior’s direction. I keep my mouth shut.

“That’s just like you to wiggle your way out of shit. I’m not stupid. I know exactly what that look was about,” Junior says with wide eyes.

Kyle laughs. “You’re out of your fucking mind, Junior. Get over yourself.”

I give it to Kyle. He’s keeping his cool—even though he just dropped the f-bomb. I understand where Kyle’s tension is coming from, and I’m not about to call him out on it. It’s as though Junior is purposely looking for a fight, which is completely absurd. Dinner’s gone great so far, so why ruin it?

“We’re not doing this here,” Greg growls. The waitress brings the check.

Kyle stands up and turns to me. “Are you ready?”

He pats his dad on the back and gives his mom a kiss.

“I can drive you back to your hotel if you want to stay for another drink,” Junior offers to me.

“No, that’s alright. Thanks for the offer, though. I’m exhausted.” I get up and say goodbye to them all before there’s any more trouble.

We get in the car. Kyle is quiet. I decide to give him a moment to gather himself. I know he’s upset about what just went down, and I want to make it known to him that it wasn’t his fault. I’m actually glad he took the initiative to leave when he did.

Kyle starts the ignition and reverses out of the parking spot. We head in the direction of my hotel. “Are you okay?” I finally ask after a couple of minutes have passed.

He blows out a much-needed breath to release his built-up stress. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m used to this. It’s no surprise. Thanks for leaving with me.”

I grab his hand and place it in my lap. “I told you I would,” I say softly. “Well, besides the last ten minutes, I had a good time! I enjoyed your family.”

“Most of the dinner was nice. I just hope someday we can alleviate the tension. Did they ask you what took so long in the bathroom?”

I look out the window, watching the houses in the suburban area slowly give way to tall, lanky buildings.
