Chapter Five

The drink in his hand stared back at Donal with the same amount of enthusiasm he had. The rich amber liquid shone in the flashing lights. Normally, he would have been as into this as much as the other ten. Perhaps nine because Todd didn’t look all that interested, either.

The dyed blonde on the pole worked it in her red g-string, men whooping and hollering around her. Donal swirled the liquid then set the glass back down.

“Bored?”

He slanted his gaze to Tim. “Yes.”

“Perhaps if it were someone else up there?”

“Don’t start, Tim. I’m not in the mood. I’m here; be grateful for that much, at least.” He rose and walked to the door after calling a farewell to Todd and the others. Kurt joined him, and they exited the establishment together. Donal blinked as the bright sun replaced the darkness from inside.

“What are you doing? Or rather where are you headed off to?”

“Am I needed to watch you shove more bills in a woman’s g-string?”

Kurt crossed his arms. “What’s between you and my sister?”

A deaf man would have picked up the danger and possessiveness lacing his tone. The surgeon was around three-fifty, all of which was muscle, no fat. Donal arched his brow in return.

“One, what makes you think there is? Two, why are we discussing your sister in front of a strip club? Three, is there something wrong with me? And, four, if there is something wrong, what is it?”

“This isn’t about me stroking your ego, Donal. This is about my baby sister. My only sister. I know there is, whether or not you two want to acknowledge it or not. There are enough sparks between you both to light the Eastern seaboard. That’s when you’re trying not to look at one another. What about Tiffany? Remember her? The girlfriend. More, to hear her go on about it.”

“You know what Tiffany is to me.”

Kurt nodded. “Exactly. And, I have zero plans to let my sister become that. She’s too unique to be your itch scratcher.

Donal coughed. “My what?”

“Leave her alone, Donal. Or you and I won’t have an understanding or friendship any longer.”

“You asked if you could bring her. I didn’t ask. You asked me to keep an eye on her, knowing we’d be spending some time together; that was okay. But, now, because you think something is there, now our friendship is on the line? What the hell, man?”

Kurt stepped right up into his face. “She made you laugh.” He pivoted around and vanished back inside the club.

Well, hell.

Sliding on his shades, Donal stared back in the direction Kurt had gone, aware he could head back in there, as well, ignore the confliction within and pretend to celebrate the last bit of freedom Todd had with his friends. What is so wrong with me? And, why was he worried about Kurt’s opinion of him? Mindy wasn’t his future. A piece of news that didn’t sit well with him. Leaving the parking lot, he headed towards Fisherman’s Wharf.

The sun was heading toward the horizon as he strolled along Pier 39.
