“Really?”Isay toHunterand he just shrugs with a smirk on his face while a chuckle leaves me.Theiron is in the shape of a dick.Iguess the ass does have a sense of humor after all.

Iheat up the iron and then place it directly in the middle ofAntonio’schest.Hecomes awake with a scream so loud and filled with agony that it’s music to my ears.Nowhe has a dick branded into his skin.

“Whatthe fuck?” he screams.

“Well, hello there asshole.Gladyou can finally join the party,”Isay with a smirk as he looks at me with nothing but hatred in his eyes. “Youdon’t look so good.My, my, how the tables have turned.”

“Whatdo you two assholes want?” he snarls.

“Iwould think that it’s obvious you idiot.Youfucked with what’s mine and now you’re going to wish you never laid eyes on her but most of all you’re going to wish you never took that job from my father.”

“Iget you being here,” he spits out with venom in his voice. “Butwho is this other asshole?Oh!NevermindIgot it.I’veseen your girlfriend around a few times with him.Hateto break it to you but she’s a whore who’s been sleeping with him behind your back.”

“Should’vedone better research asshole,”Isay laughing so hard it catches him off guard and he gives me a look as if to sayI’mcrazy.

“Whome?”Hunterfinally butts in and asks in a casual voice like he isn’t seething with rage. “Youfucked with my sister andI’mjust here to repay the favor.”IseeAntonio’seyes widen.

“Butshe doesn’t have a brother…”

“Oh, but she does.Ihate to be the bearer of bad news.”

“Ishould have paid more attention…”Ihear him mumble to himself but bothHunterandIheard it.

“Yes.Youshould have,”Huntergrowls. “Andyou’re going to be paying for your mistakes.Youfucked with the wrong family asshole.”

“Whatdoes she see in you anyway?”Antonioasks me, not responding toHunter’swords.Hisvoice is coated in jealousy and envy.

“Everythingshe doesn’t see in you.Youthought you had any claim on what’s mine?Youhave no idea how fucking wrong you were!She’llnever choose anyone over me, least of all you!Weare about to have so much fun,”Itell him asIstep closer to him once again.

“Areyou planning on drinking yourself to death?”Hunterasks, as he comes to stand in the hallway with me.I’mcurrently sitting on the floor across from her bedroom door, like a lost puppy.Hell,IguessIam one becauseIhave no fucking clue what to do with myself without her.She’sso close, yet so far away too andI’mnot doing so good with that shit.Allit’s doing, is just fucking with my head.

“Yeahand?What’sit to you?”

“Youshould lay off of it a little.”

“Youshould mind your own fucking business,”Igrumble.

“Youare my fucking business, you asshole!”

“Why?”

“She’smy top priority, but she’s not the only oneIcare about.Icare about you too, dickhead!”

“Aww.Youlove me, don’t you?”Iask with a smirk and he just rolls his eyes at me.

“Don’tmake me stop and then leave you to your own stupid devices.”

“Shefucking hates me man.Whatwould you do if you were in my shoes?”Iask and he just shrugs before answering.

“IguessIwouldn’t be trying my best to get alcohol poisoning.”

“Idon’t even give a shit ifIdo.It’sthe only thing that eases the pain.Butcome again, when you fall in love and she hates your guts too.You’rean overbearing asshole, soI’mpretty sure at some point you’ll end up being in the same boat as me,”Imumble, taking another swig from my bottle.

“Fuckinghell,I’mdealing with children!” he grumbles andIstick my tongue out at him and give him the finger because fuck him.

“WhatamIgoing to do if she doesn’t forgive me?”
