Troy

Why were the four of them at a bar? Two guys and two girls? That sounded like a double date. Or maybe I was overanalyzing it. Why would Harper go out with Cato? He didn’t seem like her type. But then again, I didn’t know what her type was. I always thought—hoped—it was me.

I walked inside and found their table. To my horror, Cato’s entire body was turned toward Harper and he had her backed up into a wall. He was smiling while he spoke to her, and it was clear he was giving her his best moves. I’d known him long enough to understand when he was hitting on a girl, even from afar.

Pain suddenly landed on my shoulders and I felt sick. Betrayal and hurt washed through me. I thought Harper was mine but she preferred someone else. She didn’t even tell me about it. It was Alexia all over again…

I stood there, unable to move or think. But then I realized something. Harper wasn’t my girlfriend. She was just a friend I was seeing casually. There was nothing meaningful between us and I never wanted there to be. So why was I so devastated by this? Why was I so hurt? Why did it remind me so much of Alexia?

“Are you just going to stand there or actually join us?” Rhett asked when he spotted me.

I snapped out of my moment and pretended I was perfectly fine. In reality, a small part of me just died. “What’s up?” I pulled up a chair and sat at the end of the booth. I purposely didn’t look at Harper, unable to fight the hurt I felt.

Cato turned away from Harper to look at me. “You look like hell.”

I really wanted to rip his face off. He was way too close to Harper and I didn’t like it one bit. Jealousy coursed through me and I wanted to break every bone in his body. Then I wanted to cut off his dick so he wouldn’t be able to put it anywhere near Harper. “Go fuck yourself.”

“Whoa...” Cato raised both hands. “Damn, did you have a bad day or something?”

“Or something.” I still didn’t look at Harper.

“Everything alright, man?” Rhett asked as he patted my shoulder.

I pushed it off in a defensive way. “I’m just…stressed out.”

“About?” Aspen asked.

“One of my clients…” That was all I could say.

“Nate’s parents still won’t come around?” Rhett questioned.

“Yeah.” That seemed believable enough.

Harper looked at me, and I could feel her gaze penetrate into my skin. “Hey, Troy.”

I kept my eyes glued out the window. “Hey.”

“Dude,” Cato snapped. “I know you’re having a bad day but don’t take it out on my date.”

“Your date?” I hissed. “She’s not your date.” My voice came out so venomous I couldn’t believe it.

“Why don’t you just go home since you’re such unbearable company?” Cato asked. “Because being a shithead isn’t suitable to you.” He turned to Harper. “Let’s dance, baby.”

What the fuck did he just call her?

Cato stood up then pulled Harper with him.
