Page 25 of Resisting Your Love

We took a seat out in the lobby. I ran my hand down my face, trying to get my temper under control. River and Zyanna left us alone, and that was a good thing. I needed some privacy with my wife.

I sighed deeply. "Damn, it's been a minute since I've gotten this heated."

"I'm sorry," she softly apologized.

I frowned, tilting my head to look at her. "What do you have to be sorry about? You didn't do anything."

"Yeah, I know, but he is my ex-boyfriend. I hope this didn't ruin your mother's event."

I shook my head, not wanting her to feel like this was her fault when she did nothing wrong. "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine since I hit him, but he deserved it plus more. If we were out at a club or something, man, I would have really rocked his jaw."

We shared a laugh.

"I can believe that. He would have deserved it, too. Do you want to go back in there, or do you want to head home?"

I smirked. "Home. I need to relieve some of this stress."

She giggled. "I got you."

Before we got up, we shared a kiss. I didn't know how much I needed this until Amryn's lips were against mine. It was sweet as hell, too, just like she was.

I couldn't helpthe smile on my face as I stepped inside Dunk's Wings. Their wings were everything, and I couldn't get enough of them. Every chance I got, I was dining in or ordering takeout. Levi said that I was addicted, and that was something both of us could agree on because I was. Since Levi worked today, I thought it would be best if I stopped by and brought him lunch. It would be the first time I had done that, and plus, he didn't know I wascoming. I didn't know how or when it happened, but he was starting to mean a lot to me. I enjoyed the relationship we had. Levi made me feel special, something I hadn't felt in my previous relationship. I didn't want to get my hopes up with this relationship. Although we said that we were going to give it a shot, I hope nothing ruined it.

After I got my and Levi's food, I was heading to my car. It was cold outside today and very gloomy. I was hoping it didn't rain. It wasn't needed since we were already having cold weather.

"Well, look who it is," I heard a voice behind me and grimaced.

I threw my head back and groaned. It was someone I'd rather not deal with. I didn't want to see him ever again. Joel was showing a side of him I had never seen before, and it was frightening. To make matters worse, I was alone without Levi, so there was no telling what he'd do or say.

"What do you want, Joel?" I asked with a glare.

He walked toward me with a smirk on his face. I didn't know what was amusing.

"You got me fucked up, shawty. How do you break up with me, and then months later you're married? It is almost laughable."

I shrugged. "Why does it matter to you? You didn't want me, right?"

Every time I thought about how Joel did me, it made me sad. I didn't do anything but try to make our relationship work, but he was hung up on the fact that I lived with my father.

"It didn't take you long to move on from me. We hadn't been broken up that long, and now you have a husband. What sense does that make?"

I shrugged again. "Okay, and? It doesn't have to. As long as it makes sense to me and the man I married. That is what matters most."

He chuckled. "That man is going to end up cheating on you when he sees how worthless you are."

Ouch, that had hurt, but I knew that wasn't going to happen.

"Yeah, you can say what you want. Now that we aren't together, do you think you can talk to me any kind of way? Think again. Now excuse me." I tried pushing him out of my way, but he stayed put.

"Yeah, you can go ahead and run on. Let's see how long your marriage lasts. You're a dull woman with nothing going for yourself always depending on your father to give you money," he taunted.

"Aha!" I yelled as Joel shoulder-checked me as he walked away.

My lips quivered as I clenched my jaw muscles together. I refused to feed into what this man said. He was jealous that I moved on from him. He must've thought I would be down and depressed. Nah, I was the one that broke up with him, and I found better. Still, in the back of my mind, I wondered if what he said was true.

I shook my head, refusing to let this man get to me. Joel had never been there when we were together, so I'd be damned if I allowed his negative words to get me down. With a deep sigh, I pressed forward to my car, trying to get Joel and his words out of my head. When I got in my car, I tried calling Mimi, but she hadn't answered the phone. It had been like that for the past two days, which had me wondering what the hell was up with her.

A huge smile lit up Levi's light-skinned face when he saw me walk through the door of the tattoo shop. With that smile on his face, I pushed forward and smiled back. I greeted the people whowere in the shop and walked over to my man. He stood up from the chair he sat in and embraced me tightly before he lowered his lips to mine and kissed me.
