Chapter Eighteen

Matt

As I storm out of the restaurant, I can feel eyes on me. Callie’s eyes, the eyes of all of the staff, and most likely the eyes of a fair few of the diners as well. I know once I leave, the silence will end and everyone will have an opinion on what just happened. The only opinion I care about is Callie’s. I really do owe her an explanation, but first, I have to try and fix this mess. I just hope she’s still open to hearing what I have to say after that.

I can’t believe I let myself lose control that way, but Marco went too fucking far, especially when he swore at Callie and I just saw red. Who the fuck does he think he is? Some glorified little shit who thinks he’s more clever than everyone around him and has a right to just betray people and do whatever the fuck he likes. Well, at least that’s over. He has found out the hard way that isn’t the case.

I lean back against the wall around the side of the restaurant. I close my eyes for a moment, trying to calm down and come up with some sort of a plan. It doesn’t matter how I spin this in my head. The first step I have to take is obvious. I really do need to make a phone call. A phone call I’m absolutely dreading having to make.

With a loud sigh, I pull my phone out and scroll through my contacts. I hesitate for a moment before hitting call. I’ve really fucked this up and this call is going to make me feel like absolute shit. I have let my emotions affect me, something I swore to myself I wouldn’t do, and explaining that is going to be a low moment for me. I was trusted to do a job here, and I’ve fucked it up. Just like he was worried I would. I insisted I could do it, and eventually he put his trust in me. And look where that’s gotten us.

I can’t put the call off forever though, and already the gossip mill will be turning. The only thing worse than making this call will be someone else beating me to it. At least if he hears it from me, I can tell him how I plan to fix it. The problem is, I have no idea how to fix it. I guess I’ll just have to wing it.

I hit call, my stomach rolling as I wait for the call to be answered.

“Matt? What’s up? There’s an issue I’m dealing with here that requires my full attention. Can this wait?”

“Not really,” I say.

“Then spit it out. But for the love of God, don’t tell me you’ve messed this up.”

Oh fuck. This is going to be even worse than I thought.
