Eventually, I angle my attention towards my best friend. “Why were you gone so long? Was there…uh…” a nervous lump springs upward forcing me to pause to push it back down, “trouble?”
“You could say that.”
Our girlfriend’s head tilts just enough to inform us she’s listening.
“The meeting with Garcia was perfect.”
It’s impossible not to frown over his word choice.
“All of our cases arelegallywell in motion and favorable.”
“Then what was the issue?”
“McAdams was in Spike Village.”
At that Bunny completely rotates in our grasp to face him, horror so tangible I swear I can practically feel her skin crawl.
“Relax, Rabbit.” Nolan quietly demands while looking directly into her eyes. “He’s gone.”
“You kill him?” I instantly inquire on the heels of his proclamation. “That what took so long?”
The sarcastic expression I’m shot is attached to a snarky statement, “No.I didn’t commitfirst degree murderin fuckin’ broad daylight, Kid.”
I would.
For them.
“I’m smarter than that.”
To our surprise, our girlfriend playfully wiggles a hand around as if arguing otherwise.
His good-natured glare drops to hers at the same time his hand lowers to cup her ass, brushing against my crotch. “Someone’s being a very naughty Rabbit…”
“You mean she’s being aBad Bunny,” I teasingly interject only to be met by two confused expressions. “You know…like the…like the rapper?”
Nolan’s brow pierces tightly together. “Why would you name yourself Bad Bunny?”
An innocent shrug is all I can present.
“That’s a terrible name.”
He doesn’t wait for any sort of retort.
“You know when I was your age-”
Bunny immediately places a hand on his chest and shakes her head in disapproval, an action that instantly gets me snickering.
“Fuckme,” our boyfriend grouses under his breath. “Did I really almost just say that?”
She eagerly nods while I verbally respond, “You did.”
“Out loud?”
“For all of those with good hearing to hear,” I goad between chuckles.
He grumbles and groans prompting our woman to giggle.
Snuggle in closer.
