“Follow me. Now!” Shaun whispered in my ear as he walked up behind me.
I threw back my drink and set my glass on the bar. “Excuse me, Sam.”
He nodded, and I followed Shaun to the hallway where the bathrooms were.
“Why are you here?” he asked sternly.
“I’m with my date.”
“It’s just a coincidence that your date happens to be one of my cousin’s best friends. Just like it’s a coincidence that you bought a house on my street. You better tell me who the fuck you are right now and why you’re here,” he spoke through gritted teeth.
“Shaun, what the hell is going on?” A beautiful woman stood a few feet from us. “Who is she?”
I could tell by the look on her face and the tone of her voice that she thought something was going on between us. I know I would if I were in her shoes.
“Jenni, this is Claire. Claire, my wife, Jenni.”
“Care to explain why the fuck the two of you are arguing alone in this hallway? You better explain yourself now, Kind!”
Shaun threw his hands up. “Great. Now look what you did.” He glared at me.
“Me? You’re the one who dragged me here!” I loudly voiced.
“Oh really?” Jenni cocked her head at Shaun, and I could see the rage in her eyes.
Fuck.
“Jenni, this is not what you think.”
“Sure looks like it to me, Shaun! Where did you meet her? Huh?!”
“Jenni, please. This isn’t—” I began to speak.
“You shut your mouth, you little slut!”
“For the love of God. He’s my brother!” I blurted out.
They stood there in shock, staring at me, trying to process what had just come out of my mouth.
“Excuse me?” Shaun said.
“You two need to listen to me very carefully. We cannot discuss this here or tonight. Both of you come to my apartment tomorrow morning around ten a.m., and we’ll talk. No, wait. My place isn’t a good idea. I’ll come to your house.”
“I don’t believe you,” Shaun said.
“Somehow, I think you do. My father is Henry Kind.”
Jenni’s eyes widened as she placed her hand over her mouth.
“Do you have proof of this?” Shaun asked.
“Yes. Please don’t tell the rest of the family. Not yet. Please, Shaun.”
He ran his hand through his hair. “I won’t until after we discuss this.”
“Oh, my God.” Jenni hugged me. “I’m so sorry for calling you a slut.”
“It’s okay. I would have called me the same thing.” I sighed.
