How the hell had I gotten myself into this mess? Oh yeah, that’s right. I couldn’t keep my stupid dick in my pants, I thought miserably. I was so goddamned disgusted with myself.

I went upstairs to take a shower because I smelled horrible after all the moving I did today. At least Milan’s apartment was furnished, so I didn’t have to move furniture. I came back down and stared at my phone, hoping to hear from Blaire. I opened the little tab on the side and noticed the ringer was off. Fuck! That’s why I hadn’t even heard my phone ping when Blaire texted me a little before seven, asking where I was. I didn’t get the message until almost 7:30 when I had replied that I was on the way. I hadn’t heard a single word from her since then.

How the hell had I accidentally turned that off, I was still wondering forty minutes later when I heard Blaire’s key in the lock. I was dismayed when Beau, Cam, and Bode walked in behind her and Carrie. My kid burst into the room like the little ball of energy that she is. I stood and bent to pick her up like I always did, but she just ran past me and up the stairs. “Gotta pack my bag. I’m staying at Uncle Beau’s tonight.”

“I’ll go help her,” Blaire said, not stopping to kiss me either.

Well, this fucking sucks.

I sat back down and glanced at the guys, who I realized were shooting death glares at me. “Uh, you guys want a drink or something?”

Beau stepped forward, keeping his voice low. “No. What I want is to know what the fuck is going on with you and Blaire.”

I stood and said, “Look, Beau. I like you, but please don’t butt into my relationship with my girlfriend.”

“Which one? Blaire or the new one?”

I fought to keep my voice calm. “Is that what she’s telling you? That I have another girlfriend?”

Beau turned his head and nodded at Bode, who took a couple of steps closer. Cam was just standing silently beside the door with his arms crossed, dressed all in black and looking like he could kick the entire Cobra Kai dojo’s ass in about five seconds. If they were trying to intimidate me, it was kinda working. I was a big dude, but there was no way I could handle three trained fighters at the same time.
