CHAPTER 13

STUART

“You can’t possibly be this fucking stupid!” C.J. yells at me while pacing back and forth in front of my T.V.

It’s a good thing I paused the movie I was watching. However, it is taking everything in me not to laugh at the fact that Mr. Conehead’s angry face is frozen beside C.J.’s when he stops moving. Shave his head and give him scary teeth and they would look identical.

“You don’t need a child,” his voice adds another level. “You know why? Because you are one!” I open my mouth to object when he screams again, “I’m not working around the clock looking for loopholes and ammunition to fight against Sara’s iron clad agreement for you to throw it away because you can’t keep your dick to yourself! We aren’t sixteen anymore! The choices you make have real fucking consequences! And I don’t mean possibly ending up in a tabloid, I mean losing your son!”

The lecture forces me further down onto the couch. My head falls backwards as I close my eyes. “Is all this about me or does some of this anger have to do with your situation with Erin too?”

C.J. mumbles under his breath before saying louder, “Mainly you.” I lift my face with a smug smirk. His anger soars again. “Don’t smile at me like that! It’s like you don’t comprehend the level of crazy Sara is. She’s most likely having you followed.”

I mutter, “Wouldn’t be surprised.”

“And you’re still fooling around with Luke.”

Don’t correct him. Just let him huff and puff til he thinks he’s blown my house down.

“Have you even put your apartment up for sale?”

“It’s sold.”

“And another thing—” he cuts himself off and tilts his head at me. “What did you just say? Did you say this place is sold?”

“Yeah.”

C.J. looks around. “And are you going to pack?”

“Movers will be here in a couple weeks. I’ve got time.”

To my surprise a pained expression hits his face as he folds his arms across his chest. “I hate that you have to move back.”

“Me too.” I clear my throat and reach for the remote. “Now do you mind letting me enjoy my last few days in my favorite apartment in peace?”

“Can you promise me you’ll end this thing with Luke?” I give a short shoulder shrug not agreeing to give up the first guy I actually want to spend more than a few months with.

Isn’t that my fucking luck? The first time I get a chance with a guy worth sticking it out with and it comes at the simple price of everything.

“Stuart.”

Do I have to end it end it? Can’t we just keep sneaking around? What if I explain it to him?

“Stuart!”

“I heard you. I’m not gonna lose my son.”

He raises his hands in surrender. “I’m gonna go. I’ve got a case to review for custody of a five year old. Not to mention making a list of reasons why my parents shouldn’t join your parents in visiting next week.”

C.J. grabs his suit jacket and
