Raylan races behind me and I throw a glance at him while making my way towards the bar.
“Did you take the stairs?”
“Nope.”
“Oh..” I let out a disappointed sound.
“Oh?” He quirks a brow at me.
“I thought you would run down a flight of stairs for me.” I make an innocent face and he laughs.
“I work smart, Avery. Not Hard.”
“Isn’t it too early for drinks?” He asks as we enter the dimly lit bar.
“Now what? Are you gonna mommy me?”
He raises his hands in defense. “Sorry!”
“You better be,” I mutter. I am pissed. So God Damn Pissed right now. I don’t need anybody around.
Despite being early, the pub is crowded. It’s a holiday resort, after all. People are here to have fun. Not to tend their broken hearts, after all.
I know I shouldn’t be offended. But I want to teach M a fucking lesson. It would be great if someone can show him a mirror. Tell him how it feels to get the mixed signals. Glancing around to find myself a pleasant spot, then I take a seat in front of a sexy bartender. Away from the crowd cheering on a muted screen of a football match.
What season is it?
“Do you want me to sit with you….or apart?” Raylan asks, and I am thankful.
“I need a little alone time.”
He nods and gestures towards a spot in a corner.
“I will be right there.” My lips quirk to realize he is interested in the match too. I shrug. It’s better than getting b with me.
A body guard feels like a babysitter.
I order a cocktail and send one for Raylan too. A Long island tea specifically. I glance as server makes her way

towards him with the drink. He looks perplexed at first, then laughs when the server points at me. I raise my glass to
toast and have a sip.
After savoring my beverage for a while, I pull my phone out to call Lena.
“Oh, it’s nice to finally hear from you. I get tired of talking to Jake all the time,” she complains, and I laugh.
“I have a question for you.”
“Straight to the point! Sure. Shoot,” she says and I can hear the keyboard behind her. She is always working nowadays, which reminds me I should read Dom’s club contract today.
“Do you know Noha’s background? Who else is in his family?”
“Oh… ummm, not much… But he has a brother…. He mentioned him when I met him over the weekend.”
“Could you dig his name for me?”
“His brother’s name?” she asks, confused. “hmmm okay… Is everything alright?”
I shrug. “Yea.. I was curious.” Despite the anger and everything, I want to know M’s full name. I wish I could ask him. But after that conversation, I am not sure where we stand. Do I even have a right to question him? But this hasn’t slain my curiosity.
Some guys try to approach me for dance, but I talk to Lena and shoo them away. After my third drink, I am feeling the buzz. I am sipping Pina colada and in a cliche’s fashion, some music starts playing in the background and I roll
my eyes.
I was tired of my lady… We’d been together too long…
I snort. Typical Ethan.
‘Like a worn out recording… Of a favorite song…..
“I can’t believe I liked this song,” I mut I mutter under my breath.
“Well, at least the beats are catchy.”
My head jerks up and I see Raylan sliding into a seat next to me. For a moment, I thought it was M. I yearn for him. He, on the other hand, barely cares about my feelings.
‘If you like Piña coladas… And getting caught in the rain…‘
‘If you’re not into yoga… If you have half a brain…”
Raylan pays his bills and says, “I’ll be back in a minute. Don’t wander around.”
“Sure mommy,” I reply and he chuckles and walks out of the bar.
I frown. It appears that he will be gone for a while.
