Chapter 15

Harlow

“What the fuck?!”

My eyes shot open as I gasped, my head snapping towards the angry voice.

There, standing behind us was Dex. And fuck, I had never seen him so angry.

Bryson stepped back, but for someone who didn’t like confrontation, I was surprised to see him straighten up and harden as he stared back at Dex too.

Dex’s angry green eyes found me, his hands balled into fists as he stood shaking. Grocery bags lay spilled at his feet, and a small wave of panic flooded through me as he stepped closer to us.

“Who the fuck is this?” he asked, his hot gaze turning to Bryson.

Bryson glared back at him, the two of them staring each other off as the tension grew to dangerous levels.

I stepped in front of Bryson, shielding him as I looked at Dex.

“He’s my friend. I don’t have to explain anything to you.”

Indignation flashed in Dex’s eyes as he found mine again.

“It’s my apartment, Harlow! You can’t just bring random people over.”

My mouth dropped over as I blinked at him.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” I yelled, my own anger making an appearance. “You literally had your girlfriend here, only days ago. And NEWS FLASH, it is not just your apartment, I am still on the lease!”

“For now! Aren’t you leaving apparently?”

I recoiled as if I had been slapped, the tone of his question more accusatory rather than a statement.

“Yeah.... then you won’t have to worry, will you?” I spat back, as I turned to Bryson. “I’m so sorry. Please, keep the shirt.”

Bryson’s eyes slowly lowered from Dex as he looked at me in concern. “I can stay if you want. I’ll cancel my meetings.”

I shook my head, lowering my voice as I gave him a forced smile. “I’ll be fine. I’m sure we’ll catch up again soon.”

He looked back up, his face instantly hardening as he stared off with Dex again. He slipped the light blue shirt I had handed him over his body, buttoning it up without looking down once. I was happy to see it fit him well, easing my guilt about the coffee and Dex situation.

Bryson slipped back into the bathroom, flicking off the tap as he wringed out his shirt and grabbed his suit jacket. He levelled with me, still sending daggers at Dex as he lowered his voice.

“You can call me anytime, you know that right? I mean it.”

I smiled, giving him a reassuring nod. “Thank you. I’ll be okay. You better go before Mr Reynolds and Skylar get mad.”

His eyebrow twitched in surprise but he nodded, reaching down to give my hand a little squeeze before slipping past. I watched with bated breath as the two of them tensed up, sizing each other up as Bryson passed to head to the front door. He hesitated at the door, his hand on the handle as he looked back at me, his gaze shifting between the two of us. I swear I could almost see a warning glare as he looked at Dex. Slowly, he closed the door leaving the two of us alone in the apartment.
