Taking a Chance

Tucker

She is un-fucking-believable. That’s all I could think as I watched and waited for her to change her mind and ask me to stay so we could talk this out. But she didn’t stop me. Not when I walked away. Not when I got into my SUV.

Here I was, imagining having a real relationship with her once I was allowed off my leash, and she was accusing me of cheating on her. That really galled me. I was so sure she saw me for who I was now and not the playboy image I’d been to her before. Wrong!

Not only did she call me a liar and a cheat, but she also refused to hear my explanation. She had some nerve. She’d called me out several times since I’d met her, but wasn’t I allowed to call her out? Apparently not.

I hit the brakes before I reached the main road, pissed off that I hadn’t stood my ground. Sure, this thing between us was over, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t give her a piece of my mind.

I made a U-turn and headed back to her house. I stalked out of the car and pounded on her door.

“Tucker—”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to stay. But you will hear me out. Lauren is my agent. I’m not fucking her, I’ve never fucked her, and I never will fuck her. I don’t understand how you could have gotten my meeting with her so wrong. First, you know I’m not supposed to be seeing women, so why would I be out with one unless it was business? And two, if I was cheating, do you really think I’d take her to the place you work? You really think I’m stupid, don’t you?”

“No—”

“I don’t know what pisses me off more - that you think I’m a liar and cheat or that I’m a fucking idiot. I’ve never lied or cheated with you or any woman. Although I just might be stupid because I really thought you respected me. Wrong.” Having had my say, I turned to leave.

“Tucker,” she called after me.

I didn’t turn around. “No, no, I don’t want your explanations.” I tossed her own behavior back at her.

“I’m sorry.”

I willed my feet to keep walking, but my heart made them stop. It took me a moment to turn around. Finally, I did.

“I’m sorry,” she said again. “I should have let you explain.”

I stalked back to her. “No. You should have trusted me.”

“You’re right. I should have asked you about her.” She looked down, and I didn’t like feeling bad for yelling at her. She looked to me again. “I didn’t like how chummy you two looked.”

I rolled my eyes. “Lauren is not my friend. She busts my balls. She was here checking up on me and letting me know about a possible endorsement, both of which I was going to tell you about before you broke off with me.”

She flinched at the words broke off.

Taking a chance, I said, “Unless, you didn’t break off with me.
