“If anyone bruised up your man, what would you do about it?” I ask Rhett, knowing the answer I’ll get.
He sips his greens drink, staring at Logan’s profile in the chair beside him, and then pulls Logan into his lap.
“Murder would be too kind. Probably torture and then murder.” His lips rest against Logan’s cheek. “Why? You thinking about pounding on someone?”
“Hayes. He bruised up my Alderchuck.”
My phone buzzes.
Kitten
Wow. You sucked tonight, Sutter. I don’t think I can be seen with you anymore.
I smile. What the actual fuck? Why am I smiling? I was shit tonight, hearing about it’s not supposed to make me smile.
“Lemme guess, Casey?” Logan singsongs over my shoulder. “Are you two official, yet?”
I turn the phone away from him, snarling.
Rhett drags him from my proximity. “You’re going to get eaten, darling dear.”
“But I don’t get them. All they do is talk about each other. He just referred to Casey as his Alderchuck.”
‘Cause he is my Alderchuck.
“We don’t just talk about each other,” I deny, even though he wasn’t technically speaking to me.
“Fine, you don’t, but why haven’t you made things official?”
“Rhett, please detain your man.”
“No, I agree with him on this one. Why haven’t you? At this point you practically are official.”
“I’m … thinking about it. After the season.”
“That’s not very romantic. You’re supposed to be so hot for each other that you can’t be without the other for another second,” Logan says.
When will they get that I don’t do romantic? Casey gets that. I think. Fuck, he does, doesn’t he?
Me
You know I’m not romantic, right?
Kitten
Weird fucking response to me telling you how much you suck, but okay. I know you’re the anti-Romeo, Sutter.
I show RhettLo, proudly. Casey’s right. They should be referred to as a collective. Especially if they’re gonna grind my gears together.
Kitten
You’re also lucky that I have a minor in translating superdick thanks to you. Is RhettLo bothering you?
They are, but only because they’re right. All I have to do is utter three little words. But I can’t. I don’t see Alderchuck doing it a second time, otherwise I’d remain a coward until he broke first.
Unless.
“One of you text Casey and tell him to ask me. I’ll say yes, and it’ll be done.” I can’t even say what I want them to tell him to ask me. That’s probably a bad sign.
