Chapter 11

I like to burn my bridges while I’m still standing on them so people know I’m serious about my crazy.

-Coffee Cup

Let me tell you something about Brielle.

She’s fucking crazy.

Let me tell you something about Brielle when she finds out that Bayou and I are seeing each other.

She loses that ‘crazy’ and goes into ‘completely fucking lost it’ territory.

Had I known that going over to Bayou’s place would’ve put me in the position I found myself in, I never would’ve gone.

Yet, like a dumbass who was high on all things Bayou, I did.

It started out fine.

Honestly, the entire night went great.

That was until Brielle showed up. She went from pissing me off to making me want to kick her ass in a heartbeat.

First, it was the sneer she sent in my sister’s direction. Then it was the way she looked at the twins as if they were invaders in her territory.

“Could you move them so I could sit down?” Brielle asked sweetly to Hoax, who was standing next to the couch that the twins were currently sleeping on.

“No,” I said, pissed off now. “They’re sleeping. You don’t wake a sleeping baby.”

Brielle’s eyes turned to me and she sneered.

“Brielle,” Hoax said, sounding tired. “Did you hear that Bayou has a daughter?”

The ‘daughter’ in question was currently sitting in my lap playing on my phone. I was sitting next to the twins.

Brielle glanced at the little girl who didn’t bother to look up or give the woman throwing a fit in front of her even a glance. “Are you sure she’s yours?”

I clenched my fists and tried to control my temper. It would not be cool to get up off this couch and punch that woman in the throat.

“Yes,” Bayou said.

He didn’t say another word, so it was obvious that he wasn’t even going to tell her why he thought she was his, only that she was and there was no other questioning why.

Brielle took the hint, luckily, and moved to the fireplace where she took a seat and crossed her arms over her chest, and took up glaring holes through me.

I wasn’t sure if she was mad at me because I was holding Isa, or because Bayou was standing behind the couch playing with my hair.

He’d been doing that in full view of the others since I’d walked in the room.

First it was a kiss to the cheek—which my sister caught, causing her mouth to fall open. Then it was giving up his seat and placing Isa in my arms only to show back up moments later with a cup of sweet tea and a cookie. That had caught Rome’s attention, and he and his wife, Izzy, had been whispering like little old church ladies ever since.

Finally, it was him walking to the back of the couch and leaning against it as he alternated with playing with my hair and rubbing my neck that caught the rest of the guys’ attention.

Though, they looked less surprised by it.

Apparently, we hadn’t been as circumspect with our feelings with them as we had been with each other.
