“Why? Do you have a thing for my brother-in-law?” I challenge, anger for Doc only building more and more.
“No, but you are famous. I don’t date famous guys,” she says. I don’t quite believe that. There has to be more she’s not saying.
“Mike, come on back. I’d like to hurry and get back to Sophia,” Doc insists. Fine. I give her one more glance, but she doesn’t even bother to give me a second of her attention. Holy fuck, she doesn’t have any interest in me. Of all the women in the world. Most women I have to beat off with a fucking stick, and the one I finally want couldn’t give two fucks who I am or that I want her.
I follow Doc into the backroom, seething and thinking about why she has no interest and why he wanted me away from her so damn quickly. Could he be trying to fuck her? Did my sister find out about his women and they got into a fight this morning and she doesn’t want us to know?
Suddenly I have to get the answers out of him, and I know how to do it. I pin him to the wall, slamming Doc hard as fuck before letting him go. “Don’t fucking lie to me. You put your hands on my sister,” I say calmly when I feel anything of the sort. Every muscle in my body is tense and ready to fight.
“What the fuck? Have you lost your fucking mind? Where the hell did you get that idea from?”
“She said…”
He cuts me off and asks, “She said I did something to her?” Truthfully, the appalled expression on his face makes me believe he didn’t lay a hand on her.
“No. She made up this crazy story about getting into a random-ass fight with some broad and that she cut her hand with an ornament,” I say.
He shoves my hands off him. “Maybe you need to have more faith in your sister. She’s telling you the fucking truth, you fucking dumbass,” Doc snaps off.
Tina appears at the door with her cell phone in hand. I nudge Doc out of the way to get closer to her. “Do you need me to call the cops?” She waves her phone in my face, which I admit does scare me because I don’t need the press on my ass, so I won’t beat Doc’s ass right now. Maybe I’ll listen and calm down.
Strangely she’s standing awfully close for someone threatening to call the police. Her eyes stare at me with heat, and I wonder if she feels this shit coursing through her too. I’m tempted to pull her in close and kiss her ass and spank her ass for sticking up for Doc. He’s an asshole for getting in the way between us and screwing my sister in the first place.
“No, Tina. Let me ask you something, though. When I came into work, who came in a little while after I got here?”
“Your wife. She sliced her hand and begged to see you right away. Some woman dropped her off.” She shakes her head dismissively like she’s not that acquainted with the women that live in town. That’s information I’m learning. That means she’s pretty new. Because all Sammie’s family and everyone knows her.
“Thanks. That’s all. Have a good night. I’ll lock up.” I don’t like him giving her orders.
“Okay. Do you want me to call the cops on this asshole?” She cocks her pretty, neat eyebrow up at me with that sass like she’s deadly serious. Damn, I’ve fucked up big time with my future wife. I’m going to have a lot of work to do.
“No, he’s my shithead brother-in-law. He’s fine.” She leaves, and I can’t take my eyes off her until she’s out of the back area. My eyes are glued to the way her ass sways out of the room almost like she did that shit on purpose. I sure as fuck hope she doesn’t sashay around other men like that all day long because I’m going to have to show people why they call me The Maniac. As much as I want to hunt her down, it won’t do any good, so I take a calming breath.
Doc pulls out a chair, silently telling me to take a seat and chill, so I do. “So as for the shit with the nurse from the hospital, I have proof of that bullshit too.” He hands me over some information, and I’m shocked because I had no idea this was going on.
“Then why didn’t anyone tell us?” I snarl, standing up.
“Because it just fucking happened, and she said it wasn’t any of your business.”
“What? It’s not our business? You’ve had my sister a week, and you can’t seem to protect her for shit.”
He just shakes his head, losing his patience, so I sit back down and give him time to speak. “And you wonder why I waited three months to go after her. I had no idea some dumb bitch at the hospital would go fucking nuts, especially since I didn’t have more than a conversation with the broad about anything other than work.”
