Tyler

It’s been an enjoyable evening. I’ve spent it with three strong and beautiful women. They remind me of my sisters, minus the bitchiness. Okay, including the bitchiness. But that’s okay. I’ll take it. Clearly, their love for one another is unconditional, and they couldn’t survive a day without each other. They interact as if they’ve known each other all their lives.

I met Ellis, and it turns out that he’s a really great guy. I’m not sure of his history with the girls, so God only knows why Lissa isn’t feeling him. One thing is obvious though. He does feel something for her. It’ll be interesting to hear how that plays out over time.

Once Ellis had arrived, we’d moved from the restaurant to the bar.

Ellis and I have been standing at the bar for a few minutes, waiting for drinks, when some asshole squeezes in next to me.

“Excuse me.” I’ll never get used to the rude people in this city.

“Excuse you,” he slurs as he speaks to me.

I narrow my eyes and stand tall, warning this jerk to go find trouble somewhere else.

Ellis hangs his head and addresses the guy by name, “Get lost, Scott. We don’t need this tonight.”

Ellis steps to the side of him. I watch, trying to figure out what the issue is. Whoever Scott is, he’s clearly had a few too many drinks. He glares at me, but he doesn’t move as Ellis says something to him that I can’t hear. Sizing me up, he looks me over from head to toe. Ellis steps away and tips his head to the side in a questioning gesture. With that, Scott glares at me, slightly nodding his head, and backs away from us.

Turning my attention to the bar, I tell the bartender what I want and then turn to Ellis. “Who was that?”

He doesn’t answer me as he’s preoccupied with his phone. I don’t bother asking again. It’s none of my business.

“Tyler.” Ellis looks at me, stone-faced.

“Yeah?”

He points his finger at me as if I’m the one who’s just pissed him off.

“If you really care for Truly, do her a favor. Don’t let her leave this time. That dickhead”—he points at Scott—“is going to hurt her bad one day.”

He takes his drinks from the bar and walks away, leaving me standing there, confused.

Why did he say that out of the blue? It’s safe to assume that guy has something to do with Truly. She’s going to get hurt bad one day? I don’t like that comment one bit. Has he hurt her already?

I find him as he stands near a table now, and I memorize his face.

As I make my way back to our table, I notice Ellis is standing in front of Truly. All I can see are her arms flailing around.

When I approach the table, Lissa reaches out, shoving Ellis in the arm, alerting him to my presence. He turns to face me, shielding Truly. What he doesn’t account for is our height difference.
