Lawson wasn’t particularly talented. Well, he was good at evading the law, tricking women into putting up with him and lastly, ruining my day. He showed up that night on my doorstep, bloody and bruised.

“Do I want to know?” I asked him. It was rhetorical. I knew.

“I fucking told you, man. I told you what the fuck would happen.”

I got him into the house and ordered him to get into the shower so he’d stop bleeding on everything. It was gross. There was blood pooled at the front door and a droplet trail up to the bathroom. Fuck. Hanley and Martin weren’t playing. I picked up my phone and texted Martin that I wanted to see him the next day. This was getting out of hand.

Lawson was fine-ish, overall. The blood was from his nose which was well and truly broken, but the rest of him wasn’t irreparably damaged. He’d be fine. I handed him a beer and joined him in the living room where he stretched out on my couch.

“Sorry about showing up like this,” he said.

“You’re not sorry,” I scoffed.

“You’re right, but shit, it’s still polite to apologize.” I looked at him.

“You? Polite? Since when did you have any manners?”

“The guys must have beaten some into me tonight,” he said, laughing. “You staying in for the evening?”

“Yeah.”

“Is Thomas in town?”

“Nope.”

“Do you know where he is?”

I shrugged. “Not here.”

His eyes widened.

“And you aren’t at Natasha’s? Is she home?”

“Don’t know. I broke it off with her today.”

“I know, I was there, but you don’t just ditch a piece of ass like Natasha Nadal. She really let you go?”

I shrugged. I had been avoiding her calls, but she hadn’t shown up tonight, so she likely had gotten the message.

“I told you. I’m done with her.”

“Dude, if you don’t go to her house and fuck her, I will.”

I shrugged.

“Be my guest.”

Lawson gawked at me.

“Fuck. I never thought I’d see the day you stiffed Natasha Nadal. What’s gotten into you?”

“Nothing. I just don’t want to see her anymore. Too much drama.”

“Uh-huh. It’s Blondie from the bar the other night, isn’t it?”

I swallowed and felt my abdomen tighten.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, you don’t remember, huh? I guess that means you don’t care if I go after her.”

I glanced at him.

“Knock yourself out.” Shit. My voice definitely betrayed me on that one.

“You sure you don’t remember her? She was sexy. Green eyes. Long blond hair. Short little dress. Nice tits.”

I breathed deeply calling on the strength of the Lord to stop me from knocking Lawson’s teeth out.

“Lips that would wrap nice and tight around a—”

“Shut up Lawson,” I snapped. “You aren’t hurt bad enough to need a hospital but if you want to end up in one keep talking.”

“Okay, okay,” he said holding up a hand. “It’s okay that you like her, y’know. Nothing to be ashamed of.”

“I don’t like her,” I sighed, taking a swig of my beer.

“Sure you don’t. It’s fine if you do. She’s hot. I’m just surprised is all.
