Chapter 8

Chloe

“He screwed the pooch, huh?”

The next morning, I worked the breakfast shift with Maya. We seemed to be scheduled together a lot. I wonder if Nettie was doing it deliberately, or if fate was being a jackass.

With a frown, I looked up at the mural of Kalfou on the wall and he seemed to be leering at me. As if to say, how do you like them apples?

Ugh. I’ve had enough of bad boys.

“Who?” I asked, being deliberately slow, hoping she’d drop it.

“Don’t be coy.” She placed a hand on her hip, turning to face me. We were both waiting for beignet orders. “My big brother pissed you off, huh?”

I didn’t know how to respond. My first impulse was to tell her to mind her own damn business. And yet part of me wanted to confide in Maya and see if she had any insight into Saint. At one time, we’d been best friends, even though it was a million years ago.

But I thought better of it. Her loyalty probably lied with her older brother, so I kept my mouth shut.

“No, we’re fine.”

“I already know. Roxy isn’t exactly discrete.”

“Then why did you ask me?” Jesus. What was taking Nettie so long? Was she grinding the flour for the donuts? I wanted to end this conversation. Now.

And yeah, I was in a crabby mood. I had been ever since Cleavage Girl showed up and ruined my night.

Or did she save you from more pain down the road?

“Just wanted to get your take on it. Between you and me, you’re better off. I love Saint, but he’s a real dick sometimes.”

“Are he and Roxy a regular thing?” Crap. The question slipped out before I could hold it back.

“No, not really. Saint doesn’t care about women at all. They’re interchangeable.” She said this matter-of-factly, without any malice.

Lovely.

The idea of being a disposable bedmate didn’t appeal to me. I’d almost made a huge mistake. So, Roxy’s interruption was a blessing in disguise. But I still hated her.

And I couldn’t stop thinking about Saint either. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel Saint’s mouth on mine. His kiss had been intoxicating. I’m sure the rest of the evening would have been equally pleasurable.

I’d heard the rumor, of course, that he hadn’t slept with her. She’d said Saint couldn’t get it up, but he’d been hard and eager for me. Roxie had to be lying. There’s no way Saint would’ve passed up the opportunity. When I’d left them, she’d been stripping down to her skivvies. Of course, he’d nailed her. This had to be some sort of cover story. Although, you’d think he’d pick one that wasn’t so embarrassing.

When I glanced over at Maya again, she was wincing. I noticed earlier, she was favoring her right leg over her left.

“Are you okay?”

She rubbed her shin. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Her tone was tart, like a lemon.

Clearly, she didn’t wanna talk about it. Evidently, we both had something to hide.

Once again, she was wearing a lot of eye makeup and her mouth was crimson.
