CHAPTER FOURTEEN

My mind was wandering; I couldn’t focus on the story Maisera was telling. I had already finished my third cup of Plum Ţuică and was debating if it would be rude to get another cup before the story was over. Pitti was sitting right next to the jug so I doubted my over indulgence would be noticed in comparison to his.

“Hey.” Xan blocked my path to the Ţuică. My stomach did a little flip flop at the sight of him in a tight black t-shirt and a pair of baggy jeans.

“Hi yourself,” I said, trying to get around him but he didn’t budge and instead grabbed my cup from me.

“Sit down Trin, I’ll get it for you.”

I didn’t argue. I figured him looking like the drunk instead of me worked just fine in my book. I plopped down next to Becki my apology practiced and ready.

“Spending a lot of time with Xan,” She said before I could get a word out.

I looked at her. “Was that a question?”

“Just an observation.”

Good, I thought. Because then I’d have to ask you who, instead of your boyfriend, have you been hanging out with lately.

“He’s teaching me how to fight and shoot,” I told her.

“Are you sure that’s all?” She gave me a look that told me she wasn’t so sure.

I shot her a look of disbelief. “Why would it matter to you what my reasons are for hanging out with him?”

“He’s a manwhore, Trinity. Is that really what you want?”

Disappointment shot through me. I’d wanted to mend our friendship, not worsen it, but Becki it seemed had other ideas.

“Have you even seen Gerik lately?” She continued.

I glared at her and Gods damn her but she glared right back. “The two of you is a good thing. Right, Hockey?” She nudged her boyfriend with her elbow expecting confirmation.

Please shut up, I silently begged her.

Looking first at Becki then at me, Hockey went back to staring at the fire without answering. Becki shot him a dirty look.

“He agrees with me,” She answered for him. “Everyone does.”

Becki still hadn’t shut up when Pitti and his brother Pesha joined us.

“There is chemistry between you two, it’s obvious. Everyone can see it.”

Chemistry. I almost laughed. Talk about the understatement of the year.

“So what is this story about anyway?” I turned toward the Pitti and Pesha hoping to change the subject.

“What, ‘The Fisherman and the Princess’? It’s about some rich bitch that needs to get the stick out of her ass and remember that money and status have no place in the matters of the bedroom,” Xan answered, returning with my drink.

Pitti threw his head back and howled with laughter.

“Nice Xan.” Becki scowled at him. “I never knew you were a poet.”

“It’s a well kept secret, my little bohemian.”

“Trinity…” Becki started up again. “You and Gerik look great together. His light coloring with your dark is really beautiful.”

With a calculatingly smirk on her face, she raised her eyebrows at Xan. “Don’t you agree Xan?”

I was really starting to
