I didn’t know how to phrase the thoughts that had been plaguing me all day, so I just blurted it right out. “He likes you.”
“Who?”
Feeling another surge of intense jealousy, I pointed up the street to where Feely was wrestling with Gibs.
Liz looked to where I was pointing and nodded. “Yeah.” She sighed heavily. “I know.”
“You do?”
She sighed again. “He told me.”
Okay, this was new information to me.
New information that I didn’t like.
Nope, I didn’t like it one fucking bit.
“You never said anything.”
She shrugged. “I totally forgot about it until you brought it up.”
“Oh.” Trying to steady my emotions, I looked at her when I asked, “When did he tell you?”
“A while back,” came her quiet response.
Another wave of jealousy surged through me, and this time it was more intense.
Feely liked Liz.
And Liz knew Feely liked her because hetoldher.
A while ago.
What the actual fuck?
When was anyone planning on tellingme?
Jesus Christ, I wanted to kill him.
I’d never felt such an irrational surge of fury.
I wanted to ask her a dozen more questions, but I didn’t.
Because I had no right to.
I didn’t own her.
She was my best friend.
That’s it.
I didn’t have the right to interrogate her.
What the hell, though?
Seriously.
What the actual fuck!
