OakleyFord_stanNo1 @1doodlebug1 b/c he looks like it. Sooooooo much tongue in those pix!

1doodlebug1 @OakleyFord_stanNo1 She doesn’t deserve him.

OakleyFord_stanNo1 @1doodlebug1 nope.

“What the hell is he doing here?” the asshole behind Vaughn growls. “Did you invite him over?”

I look from Vaughn to the asshole, wondering the same damn thing. What’s he doing here, and did she invite him over?

“No, I didn’t invite him,” she says.

Her words are like a knife to the gut. To think I came over tonight to apologize to her.

“And this isn’t a good time,” Vaughn adds, turning back to me. “I’m kind of in the middle of something.”

I bet she is. I swallow a dose of anger, but I’m not sure why I’m so pissed. I knew going into this that she had a boyfriend. I’ve made fun of the douche bag on more than one occasion. But knowing and seeing are two very different things.

This frat boy loser is in her house. They were probably having a romantic evening before I showed up. Maybe I even interrupted them having sex.

Another rush of bitterness coats my throat. Fuck this. I shouldn’t have come in the first place. I should’ve just ignored the guilt that was gnawing at me all day, ever since I hung up on Vaughn. But it had been impossible to ignore. My mom called a few hours after her lunch with Vaughn, and I’ve never heard her rave about someone so much. Listening to Mom gush about how smart and sweet and wonderful Vaughn is only twisted the guilt knife deeper, made me feel even worse about the way I taunted her outside the club yesterday.

I came here armed with an apology, but now, as Vaughn’s boyfriend and I stare each other down, I feel like I’m the one who deserves a fucking apology.

“Do you have a hearing problem?” W asks frostily. “She said we’re in the middle of something.”

For some reason, I stay rooted in place. “Maybe I’ll wait until you’re done.” Jesus. What am I saying? I don’t want to do that at all. But something about this jerk brings out my hostile side.

“No, you’re gonna turn around and get back in your limo or whatever the hell you drove here. She’s off the clock, asshole.”

“W!” Vaughn chides.

“Wait, are you paying her salary now?” I give him a cool smile despite the fact that his arrow actually stung.

“I don’t have to. Vaughn doesn’t need to be paid to be with me.”

“W!” Vaughn nearly shouts. She takes a breath and addresses me again. “You need to go,” she says in a trembly voice that cuts right through me.

“Yeah. Whatever. I’m gone.” I jerk open the door but try to get one last dig in. “Enjoy the rest of your night. Looks like you’ve got a real keeper there, babe.
