“Well?” I shot Emilio a look. He and Eden were staring at each other. “Can you give me a ride?”

“Uh…” Emilio bent and dragged the burning end of his cigarette on the concrete.

Eden turned and headed for the door. “See y’all later!” Her change in demeanor was a little strange, but what Emilio did was stranger. He darted toward her and wrapped his hand around her arm. My blood boiled when she looked up at him through her lashes and Emilio’s lips moved like the two had something fucking important to talk about.

“Emilio,” I shouted. He eyed me and loosened his grip on her but it was the pleading look she gave him that had me moving forward on instinct. She nodded and he let her go, turning his body completely in her direction as she made for the back door.

“Eden,” he said.

“My ride is on the way.” She swung the door open and disappeared inside. Emilio’s jaw was tight, his fists clenching at his sides.

“Come on,” he gritted. His shoulder slammed into mine as he passed. “Let’s go.”

The lights around the building flickered, then shut off. The electric whizzing of the Ernesto’s sign cut out and silence stretched. I followed my friend to his car, waited for the door to click unlocked, and then sank in.

“What the fuck was that about?” I asked, trying to keep a lid on my growing suspicions. The moment kept repeating in my head—the way he grabbed her, their almost silent communication, the strange but vulnerable look on her face. Something passed between them. They couldn’t hide it if they wanted to.

And it seemed like I was precisely the one they were hiding it from.

Emilio didn’t say a word. He fired up the engine in his shitty little car and threw it in reverse. Tension rippled through the hot air and my palms started to sweat. We drove off and soon the restaurant drifted from the rear-view mirror.

A swell of anger crashed through me. Was I too stupid to recognize that there was something going on between Blondie and my best friend?

On a deep breath, I cooled my tone. “Look, if something happened between the two of you, it’s over now.”

“What?” Emilio’s head snapped in my direction.

“She’s mine.” I licked my lips hoping to still find a taste of her. “She’s mine.”

Emilio huffed a laugh.

“I’m not fucking with you.”

“Yeah, I believe you,” he said. “I’m not laughing because I think it’s a joke.”

My upper lip curled to think he’d taken her back behind the building and felt her tight little body against his too. Had he beaten me to her? Found out about the little noises she makes when she cums before I could?

“Emilio, I swear to fucking God…” I shook my head like that would help to erase the images of the two of them together. “That girl is mine. If I find out that you so much as…”

“Bro Jesus, we’re just friends!” The car slowed to a stop at a red light but I couldn’t find it in me to look at him.
