Chapter Seven

Duncan

I make my way down the cobblestone streets towards the one place that gives me some solace. After a rough day I’ve always come here, and brought some of the men I work with when I know they’ve been struggling. The Red Lion is a low key pub here in London. It may be located in one of the busiest cities in the world, but once you walk through those doors, you feel like you’ve walked into another realm. The lights are dim, the music is barely noticeable, and everyone inside keeps to themselves. The only people you hear talking are the ones at the bar, speaking to the barmaid. Even in the States we don’t have bars like this. We mainly have sports bars, where everyone gets as drunk and rowdy as they can when their football team is losing. That’s the one thing I miss about America – Football.

I place my hand on the iron door handle and pull it forward, walking into the pub. I head straight towards the booth I always sit at and order a Guinness. It’s actually quite normal for me to be here a couple nights a week, usually how I relax and unwind. All in all, almost every aspect of my life is the same. Well, besides one thing. Now, I’m watching Willow, and she knows that I am.

James walks in through the front door and approaches the booth I’m seated at, taking a seat directly across from me. He also works for Kristof, and truthfully, he’s one of my close friends. “Long time no see,” he greets, lifting his chin at me.

“Same to you. I thought you’d be there to greet me, bastard,” I cheekily joke. James has become much like a brother to me over the years.

He orders his beer, and we sit chatting about pointless shit for well over an hour. He’s updated me on everything gossip-like that’s happened in London amongst the other guys and the women they’ve been seeing. I swear these men are worse than anyone back home, and I grew up in Miami. Men fucked anything they saw walking down the street, but the lot of these men are so much worse.

James leans his arms across the table, places his hand along his chin, and grins. “Now, you can’t tell me that you didn’t get down under her.”

“I didn’t,” I admit honestly.

“But you wanted to.” He raises his eyebrows as he says it, and I shrug my shoulders. Just because he’s my friend doesn’t mean that he gets to know everything about me, or my desires. You’d have to be a blind man to not want Willow; blind or dumb.

“Shit, if you’re not calling dibs. I sure as hell am.”

I clench my jaw and stare across from me, my body heating up all of a sudden. I’m not sure why, if it’s just because he’s said that he wants her and I can’t bear the thought of it, or if it’s because in my head, she’s already mine.
