Page 79 of Your Side of the Offense

"What are you talking about?"

He shakes his head. He is pissed.

"Don't fucking lie to me, Deltona. I know Summer's moans anywhere."

My mouth hangs open. Well, fuck me then.

"What—?"

"Are you going to deny it? Lie? And…why are you even lying about it?"

"It wasn't her," I try.

"Are you trying to tell me you haven't fucked another chick in six months and now suddenly when she is back in your life, you are fucking some random chick?"

Fuck.

"You can't tell anyone," I say.

"Why?"

"Because she asked me not to. She is spooked, okay. She has some feelings to sort on it and you know she…still has that other guy."

"You mean Logan, her boyfriend."

"Fuck yourself." I step back. I don't know what his problem is but I'm going to punch his stupid face if he doesn't shut it. The presence of Logan is just an ugly stain on what we have, and I wanted to pretend he doesn't exist.

"I don't understand why you'd hide it from us though."

"Because she asked me to. And don't pretend like you wouldn't keep it quiet too if you were in my position."

He pulls another drag one before he passes it to me. I take it and sit on his bed.

"I fucking hate you," he says

I chuckle. "If I were you, I'd hate me too."

He chuckles.

"Give me back my blunt and get the fuck out of my room, you lucky asshole."

I pull a large one before I hand it back.

"Ey, don't hate the player." I shrug. And he flips me off.

Before I leave, I turn to him, serious now.

"Please don't tell them. She is really vulnerable, and I don't want to scare her away or piss her off."

"Whatever." He takes his laptop again and tunes me out.

I leave, heading back downstairs. Caleb and Jaden now playing Fifa.

"So, what's up with that grouch?" Jaden asks.

I shrug. "Pussy deficiency," I say and they laugh.

"Shouldn't you be King Kong then?" Caleb asks from the other side.
