#LetMeShowYouWhatYouMissedOutOn
The next thing I know, the guy is actually getting on the phone and contacting someoneâthe cops or the FBIâabout me and my evident transgressions.
And Iâm not even kidding when I say that Iâm starting to get truly pissed off. Look, Iâm a nice southern girl. I learned manners before I learned how to walk, and Iâve been raised in the sort of genteel, sweet-tea-drinking sort of world that only exists in areas of the south that have maintained the traditions and the values of our ancestors.
Iâm not talking cotton plantations and horrible social practices, either. Iâm talking calling everyone âsweetieâ and making sure you always have clean gloves to wear to church on Sunday.
So yeah, I have that in my box of tools. But I was also raised by a freaking strong woman who didnât believe in being taken advantage of. And she made sure I had that in my toolbox as well.
Which means Iâm gearing up to start actually spitting anger at this guy, my shoulders straightening and my chin coming up, and though I know itâs probably the wrong thing to doâand that itâs most likely not going to solve anythingâI physically canât stop myself. Iâm too frustrated, too horrified at what heâs trying to imply. And I know for a God damned fact that Iâm not going to stand for it.
Iâm just starting to put breath to my voice, my first line already becoming clear in my head, when a strong firm hand comes down on my shoulder.
I jump and whirl around, about ready to lay into whoever the hell is trying to interrupt me, when I spot Griff standing there, all charcoal gray suit and matching tie, his hair gelled into place, his face looking completely neutral. His eyes, though. His eyes are flashing, and when I look a bit closer, I notice that his mouth is actually tense at the corners, like heâs angry at something.
âFrederick, youâre not bothering this nice lady, are you?â he asks tersely. âYou know your job is to let occupants in, not keep them standing on the sidewalk.â
He lightens this statement with an attempt at a smile, but even an idiot would be able to see that heâs forcing it.
Frederickâthe doormanâs name, evidentlyâlooks up at Griff and seems to go a shade paler. âMr. Hunt,â he says, his voice sort of wobbly. He takes the phone away from his ear and covers the mouthpiece. âIâm sorry for the disruption, sir, but this woman was trying to get into the building. She doesnât live here.â
Griffâs face smooths out a bit. âAh, but sheâs here for the weekend. Or did she not tell you that?â
Frederick shakes his head firmly. âI didnât receive any notification of that. Do you have proof?â
Griff, all charm and smooth goodwill now, leans toward Frederick and gives him a quick grin. âSheâs staying in Andrewâs apartment, actually. Iâm sure if you contact him, heâll be happy to confirm that.â
