It started to rain around seven thirty when it was already dark outside and I decided to call it a night.
I’d sent Stanley home earlier because he had a sick kid at home and I didn’t know how long I was going to be here.
I left my office, keys in hand thinking of what I should have for dinner and almost walked into her. “What are you doing here so late?”
“I had some things to take care of.” She opened her umbrella and walked through the exit. The rain was just a slight drizzle but I didn’t want her walking through it.
And I for damn sure didn’t want her turning up in that neighborhood of hers alone this time of night. “I’ll give you a ride home, it’s late.”
“No thanks, I’ll take the bus.”
“Hey Gia, you need a lift?” Gavin came through the doors behind us. When she readily accepted his offer I saw red.
I watched him seat her in his car and almost lost it at the sight of his hand on her back as he helped her in.
As soon as he closed the door and walked around to the other side I moved forward and pulled the door open.
“Get out of the car.”
“Dude, calm down.” He glared at me over the roof of the car.
“Stay out of this. I told you to get out.” I looked down at her bent head.
“I’m not leaving her here alone with you in this mood.”
“What’s it to you?” I pulled her out of the car and dragged her over to mine, which was parked one spot over.
After seating her roughly and warning her of what would happen if she moved, I walked around to the other side and got in.
I turned the car on swiftly and peeled out of the parking lot leaving my brother in my rearview.
“Don’t do that shit again. Don’t get in another man’s car in front of me after rejecting me. Next time I won’t spare you.”
“When will you get it into your head that what I do or don’t do has nothing to do with you?”
“And when will you get it into yours that it absolutely does?”
“Why?”
“Because I said so.”
She did that huffing shit and I chose to ignore her as I wended my way through the streets in the opposite direction from her home.
“Where are you taking me?”
“I want to spend more time with you. You’ve been busy all week and ignoring me.”
“I was working, for you I might add.”
“Doesn’t matter. I hate being around you that long and not being able to touch you.” Shit makes me nuts.
“I need to get home, I have a child to look after remember?”
“She’s with the sitter, she’s fine.”
“All the same I want to go home.”
“No!”
