Matty

"You two are acting like a couple of teenage girls in the lunch room. What gives?" Bash sucked down half a bottle of Gatorade in one swallow before pinning me with a cold stare. "And don't try to fluff me off this time. One of you motherfuckers is going to come clean, or I'm going to start cracking skulls."

Reid looked at me and shrugged. “I don’t know what he’s talking about. You, bro?”

I took that to mean that he wouldn't rat me out and was willing to take the ass-whooping if there was going to be one. Good to know. But it had gone far enough and it was only a matter of time before I had to come clean. He’d gotten as long of a reprieve as I could give him. And now that the wheels were in motion, there was nothing he could do to stop any of it anyway.

So I gave it to him straight. “I'm working with Mickey Flynn. He’s Kayla’s boss."

Bash's eyes went glacier blue, and I knew I was about to get an earful. I tried to head him off at the pass before he worked up a full head of steam.

"It's a short contract. One year and I'm free to find new representation. He wants-"

"What he wants is your fucking soul, you stupid asshole. God, how could you be so thick?” He raked his uninjured hand over his face and scowled at me. “This is what he's wanted from the start. To get us wrapped up with him so he could play puppet master. We just got free and there you go again, half-cocked and loaded for bear."

"We weren't free," I said quietly, turning away to toe at a mat with my foot. I hated this part. Bash pissed, I could handle. Bash feeling sad and guilty sucked balls.

"What do you mean? We were. I told you, I got a call yesterday. We’ve got this fight lined up now. It’s got a huge purse and he said we could pay him once..." He trailed off and his jaw went slack as comprehension dawned. "You did that. You went to Mickey and had him get me a fight to replace the Spada match. And in return, he got you as his bitch."

That was it. After a sleepless week and feeling like total shit for backing Kayla into a corner, I’d run out of patience. I reeled on him, sick to death of it all and happy to let fury take the wheel. "What the fuck do you want from me, Bash? I did what I tho-”

"You guys have to stop fighting," Olivia said softly from her perch on the stairs leading from the apartment to the gym. I hadn't heard her come in and apparently I wasn't the only one.

Bash turned to face her. "Babe, this is between me and my brother."

"I live here too now, and I love all three of you so it's not just about you." She stood and made her way down the stairs to stand in front of us, a thunderous frown on her face.
