Chapter Thirty
ALL THE WIND was taken out of his sails. Just as he’d feared all along. It didn’t matter that they felt perfect for each other. She was going to go live that life she thought she needed. Somehow, Emily believed those stupid romance novels. She thought she had to go live the perfect life in the suburbs with two kids, a dog, and her slick douchebag husband who didn’t love her.
Clay parked the car and walked toward the door of the bar. It was a place he’d frequented off and on over the past year and a half, because it was only about five minutes from his house.
He walked in and let his eyes adjust to the dark. Somehow being in a dark bar made it easier to drink at three in the afternoon. But he wasn’t going to drink yet. Not yet.
No. The plan was to drink a water and watch whatever shit they were playing on one of their widescreens. She had two hours. If she didn’t call or text within two hours, then he would know she didn’t need him. Or want him. That would be the reality. Two hours would be more than enough time for her to tell Bryce to fuck off and then call Clay. Less than two hours, he had a chance.
He realized too that Emily might call him if she was having a hard time getting rid of Bryce. That’d be fine too. Nothing he’d like better than to sink his fist into that motherfucker’s perfect teeth. That wouldn’t mean she’d chosen Clay, though, and that was the part that was driving him mad.
What the fuck was wrong with him? He’d let down his Jet armor way too early with that woman. He’d trusted her far more than he should have. As a PA, sure, it was necessary, but he should have listened to Mary and kept it business only. He had no one to blame but himself, and he was a fucking idiot for having believed she would choose him over douchey rich boy.
He didn’t get it. He and Emily had serious chemistry. He’d never felt that way with anyone else before. That didn’t mean he hadn’t had some good relationships, because he definitely had. But he and Emily clicked at a base level that he didn’t think he ever had with anyone else. He’d been able to tell her stuff he’d never told anyone else, and she understood.
And so knowing that she was just going to piss that away on a guy who obviously didn’t love her made both Clay and Jet fighting mad. He finished the water and left the bartender ten dollars since he wasn’t going to get his business after all.
He couldn’t bite his tongue anymore. And if that slick little shit said one word—one word—about getting the girl anyway, he was gonna fuck him up. He didn’t care if it meant his ass would be in jail for a while or if the guy’s lawyers decided to sue the pants off him.
