Chapter Twelve

Mena

He'd found me. He'd followed me and now he knew what a disaster I was. After he scared the bejesus out of me, I broke down. I was ashamed he'd seen me at my worst. Ashamed he was looking in at everything I owned.

"Out," he barked.

Great. He was back to barking at me.

He probably saw me as nothing but trash.

Was he about to turn me out like trash as well?

"Mena." He growled the word. "Get the fuck outta the car, now."

His snarling tone got me to wipe my face and scoot my butt from the back seat to stand just before him.

And I meant just before him.

Kalen hadn't stepped back. He was still leaning with one hand on the roof and the other on the opened back door. So when I stood, our chests nearly touched.

My bottom lip wouldn't quit trembling. However, I jerked my chin out and up, and even though my eyes teared again, I glared up at Kalen Brooks.

"I'm a good person. I've never done anything to harm Koda in any way—"

"Jesus Christ," he clipped through clenched teeth. Then he took a deep breath and asked, "What are you talking about, woman?"

"Even though I'm… I-I'm living in my car, it doesn't mean you can fire me." I sniffed in a shuddering breath.

"Keys," he snarled.

"Kalen," I cried. "I promise I'll go and get away from you all. I won't do anything, but don't turn me in for being on this property."

"Keys," he demanded.

Sighing, my head dropped forward. "I'm sorry, please."

"Mena. Fuckin' keys now."

Nodding, I knew I was in deep shit. He'd had enough. So all I could do was go along silently. He was probably disgusted a hobo had been taking care of his son. Wanted to take me to the police station and get me away from Koda. My heart plummeted at the thought.

Grabbing the keys, I passed them over. I was surprised when he placed a hand on my waist and moved us back so he could slam the door shut. He grumbled some things under his breath as he moved us to the door of the front passenger seat.

When he opened it, he barked, "Get in."

My eyes went to the seat, to him, to the seat, and back to him. "Why?" I questioned, my bottom lip quivering again.

I watched a muscle in his jaw tick. He was seriously pissed.

Throwing my hands up in the air, I snapped, "Fine." And as I ranted, he came around to the driver side, got in, and started the car. "What are you going to do, Kalen? The police can't do much about me being on public property, except maybe give me a fine I can't— Kalen, I'm sorry I applied for the job and didn't tell you where I was staying. I'm sorry if you think I've done anything wrong by Koda. I would never want to do anything…" I trailed off when I noticed he'd had the car heading down his driveway.

He parked and got out. I
