When I take my seat again, I realize Macy silently joined us at some point. Which is strange for her. I didn’t know she knew how to be quiet.
A few minutes later, Wyatt and Charlie show up. Macy practically leaps into Wyatt’s arms and whispers something in his ear. They talk for a few seconds before she disappears in the direction of the bathroom.
“Seriously? You big burly men took up the whole freaking booth!” Macy folds her arms over her chest and glares at us when she gets back to the table.
“I’m sure Cord will let you sit on his lap if you ask nicely.” Leo lifts his beer to his lips to hide the smile spreading over his face. He’s an asshole and he knows it.
I punch him in the arm and flip him off. I’d absolutely love to have Macy sit on my lap, but she’d never allow that. Not anymore.
“Nah, I don’t need his tiny tic tac poking my ass all night.” She waves off Leo’s comment. “What’s your name again?” She turns her attention to Schmidt.
“Uh… Schmidt?” He clears his throat and tries again, this time his voice comes out strong, deep, and confident. “Schmidt.”
“Is that your first name or last name?” She tilts her head to the side and examines him.
“Last. I don’t go by my first name.”
“Hmm, that makes me interested… How can I find out your first name?” Macy sways her hips as she walks to his side and plops down on his lap. She wraps her arm around his neck and toys with his hair that’s curling up at the ends under his ball cap.
Schmidt and I are close, but I’ve never wanted to break his nose as badly as I do right now. He’s playing right into her hands and he doesn’t even realize it.
“I mean any google search will bring up anything you want to know about any of us,” Smithy speaks up.
“What about the size of your-”
“Macy,” I growl, warning her to stop before she takes this too far.
“What? If they don’t have that information on you, I would happily supply it for them.” She bats her eyes innocently at me.
But Macy Hayes is anything but innocent. She’s fire and sass. Stubbornness and determination. If you tell her she can't do something, she’ll do it just because you don’t want her to. She’s the boss of her own life and she isn't going to let anyone push her around.
“Mace, don’t torture him,” Charlie says quietly.
I smile sadly at Charlie. She’s always been a good friend and I appreciate her effort in trying to calm things between Macy and I, but it’s not going to work. Macy’s dead set on making things miserable.
Macy stares at me for a few seconds before she turns her attention back to Schmidt. She speaks to him quietly and I swear he’s completely engrossed with her and isn't paying attention to the world around him.
I get it, man. She knows how to captivate your attention and make you feel like you’re the only man in the world.
My attention zeros in on Macy’s fingers toying with Schmidt’s hair and how her other hand is on his chest. She’s smiling at him and clearly flirting.
It feels like a knife is being driven through my chest and straight into my heart. Every time she smiles or laughs, I can feel another part of me dying. It hurts so much to watch her with another man. I don’t want to witness this at all.
“Holy shit. I think Everson beat you, Smithy.” Wheeler smirks and shakes his head. I barely glance away from Macy to find Wyatt’s arm draped around Charlie.
Good for him. One of us deserves to be happy.
“Hey, Wheeler?” Charlie says sweetly.
“Yeah?” He perks up with the attention of a pretty girl being on him.
“Shut the fuck up and mind your own business. Ok? Thanks.” She winks at him and blows him a kiss.
“Wow, ok… Cici, wanna help me nurse the wounds Charlie just gave me?”
“Stay away from my sister, Wheeler,” I groan. “Do you seriously think going after her is a smart idea? Her dad is your boss.”
“Yeah, but if we got married, it would all play out in my favor.” Wheeler sucks his bottom lip between his teeth and bites down. He’s trying to get Cici’s attention, but she doesn’t like him as more than a friend. I already know that.
