“Yes, what do you do on a date and I don’t mean fucking either. I mean taking someone out on a date?”
“You’re going on a date?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh.”
“What’s wrong?” Grant asked.
“It’s … I don’t know, just you and the whole idea of you dating.”
“I can date.”
“I’m not disputing that. Of course you can date, and I imagine you’d be very, very good at it.”
Grant waited, patting his thigh as he listened to Maddie make a few confused noises over the phone.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to imagine you dating. Who is the lucky woman?” Maddie asked.
He was tempted to keep that part a secret but he didn’t see a reason why he should. “Aria Taylor.”
“What? You’re dating Aria Taylor?”
“Yeah. I’ve arranged a date with her.”
“Are you sure you’re not dating her sister? I mean, no, you wouldn’t do that. She just got married recently.”
“Why is this so hard for you to comprehend?” he asked.
“Because … well, you used to, I mean, you’re not…”
“Damn it, Maddie, just spit it out.”
“You hate bigger women, Grant. You bullied me for years because of my weight and I know Aria is similar to my size. You’re not, ugh … you’re not going to bully her, are you?”
Grant’s teeth clenched.
“You fucking pussy. You’re not going to fuck a fatty, not on my watch. They’re ugly, repulsive, and fucking lazy.”
He cut off the memory.
“Look, I like Aria, okay? She’s a good woman. I want to go on a date with her and I want to make it good.” This was a bad fucking idea. “You know what, forget I said anything.”
Before Maddie had a chance to tell him no, he hung up his cell phone and immediately dialed Bull. He hated calling his brother for anything.
“What have you done?” Bull asked.
“I’ve asked Aria Taylor out on a date, and I wondered what you’d recommend I do on a date. Seeing as you’ve managed to keep Maddie, you know, with my help, not that it means a lot.”
“Are you joking right now?” Bull asked. “When I first got Maddie to come and work for us, I had to kick your ass out of the office because you called her ‘Chunk’ and some other fucking shit.”
“Aria is not fat.”
“She’s not thin either.”
“Are you going to fucking help me?”
