Gemma didn’t say a word. She just stared and then without a word she turned on her heel and slammed her way back out the door.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Fender tore his hand away. His face murderous as he stepped away. “I mean seriously.”
“Nothing is wrong with me baby, I just thought you might fancy starting our relationship with a bang… I mean she isn’t really my type. Too plain, you know. But if you want to….” I didn’t get to finish. Fenders hand closed around my throat. My head slammed back against the mirror. For a second I saw stars and then I laughed.
I laughed right into his face.
“We don’t have a relationship Blair. We fucked. It wasn’t even very good. Get your shit and remove yourself out of my life.”
I laughed some more. “This isn’t over Fender.”
He shot me a look over his shoulder and for a second I thought he wasn’t going to answer me. “Yes, it is. Get yourself out of my town and don’t come back. Crazy ass bitch.”
Chapter Five
Fender
I caught up with Gemma before she got back to the bar, my hand came down hard on her shoulder and I span her around. Making her crash into my chest.
“Stop Gem.” My voice came out ragged. Out of breath like I had been running. “What the hell is your problem tonight?”
Finally, her black-rimmed eyes rose to meet mine. “You’re my problem Fender. You’re everyone’s problem.”
The words seemed to tear their way out of her throat.
“The way you humiliated Chelsea tonight. The way you are continuously humiliating Ruin. Your a fucking shitty excuse for a human being Fender and an even worse dad.”
My hand tightened on her arm, my fingers digging into her skin. It would leave a mark but I just didn’t care.
Who the fuck did she think she was? Talking to me like that?
“Careful now woman.” The warning in my tone was clear.
“No fender I won’t be careful. Someone needs to tell you. You are a mess. Fucking your daughters friend in front of your kids … that isn’t normal. The fact you think it’s ok isn’t normal. And then I find you with her again. You hand between her legs. No one can stop you fooling around with every whore in the country Fender but don’t do it in front of your daughter.”
It hit me then. Why she was so pissed off. And it had very little to do with Chelsea. “You feeling a little jealous Gem? Wishing it was you?”
She blinked slowly like she couldn’t quite understand what I was saying. “No.”
“It’s ok if you are baby.” The hand that had been gripping her arm slid upwards to cup her cheek. “We used to have a good time didn’t we?”
It had been more than good but I wasn’t about to tell her that.
“What we had wasn’t real Fender.”
“Sure it was, that’s why you’re jealous now. You think I’m going to fall for some young piece of ass when you have been right here the entire time. But come on baby. You know that won’t ever happen. You know I’ll always come back to you. Watching me fuck someone else has never been a problem before.” My face hovered over hers. “It’s why we are so good together.”
Her eyes blazed. “This has nothing to do with us, Fender. This is about the fact that you hurt your daughter and you don’t give a shit.”
My eyes narrowed. “Not about us huh? So you don’t want me to kiss you right now?”
“You make me sick Fender.”
“Ah, baby don’t say that….” I reached for her again as she turned away. Planning on bringing her back to my body.
The gunshot was loud. Echoing off the walls. And Gemma started screaming.
